The Knox County OIL Region.

We suppose most of our readers will be
Interested in hearing what is doing by our
"oil men in this county.
The pioneer Wcll,' on Major Sapp's 5
farm, at the Caves" below Millwood, has
not been abandoned, as many supposed,
but the manager, Mr. Buckingham, is still
at work boring down deeper. AT the depth
of 600 feet, oil was found but not in pay
ing quantities. After considerable labor,
and encountering many difficulties, it was
determined to resume boring, and at pres
ent depth of about 74O feet has been at
tained and the prospects are reported to be
encouraging.
The "Ncir Well" near Wulhonding, at
the junction of the kokosing and Mohican,
has been sunk to the depth of 6l5, when a
vein Of gas and water was struck Of i'm
mense volume. A column of water is
thrown up every minute and n half to the
hight Of 40 feet, which renders it next to
impossible to conduct operations. 1t is es-
timated that nearly 10 600 barrels of water
arc thrown up each day. The gas that
forces up this great body of water burns
beautifully, and if it could be separated
from the water, and confined in n tank,
might be used in lighting the City Of Eich-
elbergh, vhen 1t is buiH If the flow of
water should exhaust itself (of which there
is no immediate prospect there is no doubt
but that oil will be found. 1t is probable,
however, that the company will commence
sinking a new well, aud let the great old
squirt" play on until it becomes tired.
The "Kokosing Well, " ON the Ben. But
Ter farm, three miles East of Millwood, is
progressing finely, under the supervision OF
MIR, Sam'l Davis. This week, at the deptl
of6 feet, the company struck a vein o
oil, which promises to yield well. With
out going deeper, the company have com
menced Tubing to test the productlvenes
Of the present bore. In few days th'
matter will be thoroughly tested. This i
essentially Mt. Vernon enterprise--th'
company being composed entirely of ou
own citizens; all of whom are gentlemen o
wealth and enterprise. We hope that thei
highest expectations may bc realized III

The state Election I'm Kentucky

The late so-caled election in Kentucky is
of ouch character that even the Cincinna-
ii Commercial feels obliged to dcnouncc it
1t adds:
The dispatch of our special corrcspon-
dent at Lexgton, KY, indicates disgrace
ful state faifairs in that quarter yesterday.
The indiscrcet zeal of some OF the friends
of the Constitutional Amendment, and
their eflortto use the military power to in
tmidate THAR opponents, spoiled every
thing. General Palmer has not. if we are
correctly informed, obcyed the injunction of
the President to see that the laws were ex-
ccuted. If he had remained at his head
quarters and attended to his business quiet
ly, we have no doubt the result of the elec
ton would have been much more favorable.
The dispatch to which it aludes is as
follows:
LEXINGTON, KY, Aug.T
The most fragrant attempts were made
here, this morning to carry the election by
aid Of the military power. a list Of pro-
scribcd persons had been made out by some
sclf-constitutcd Committee of Public Safe
ty, and was placed in the hands of a militia
tary officer. Every one whose name appear
ed in it was arrested, if he appeared near
the polls. There was no appeal from the
list, and willingness to take the test oath
of Governor Bramblette did not save the
prescribed. Private malace, in many cases.
was the only instigator of the prescription
The following telegraphc correspondence
between the Sheriff Of this county and Gov
crnor Bramlctte, shows the situation:

under military dictation The Sheriff at
one precinct was arrested, and taken to
headquarters while in the discharge of his
duties. The citizens stand in front of the
polls, aud Indicate to the soldiers those who
not entitled to vote and all such so pointed
out are not allowed to present themselves
