GEN. GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY.
Two New York papers simultaneously an
| nounce that under no circumstances will
! General Grant be candidate for the Presi
dercy in 1868. These statements are graf
uitous and untrue. We have authority fol
stating that, if the people call on him in
times of peace to save the country, he will
respond as quickly as he has done in times
OF war. He unequiyocally expresses his
earnest desire for the immediate passage Of
the Constitutional amendment.

Great Fire in the Oil Region.

llTUsNiLLE, Th., Juiy o.
A great fire occurred on Bcnnehof run
last night, during thunder storm. The
lightning struck gas pipe in the Western
Union Telegraph well. The fire quickly
communicated to the tank, which exploded,
and the oil ran down the run, causing the
flames to communicate with several other
tanks, which in turn exploded, causing one
of the heaviest conhagrations ever expert
cnced in the oil regions. nv,
Between eighteen and twenty large pro-
ducing wells were burned up, including two
or three large flowing wells among which
were the Sheridan and Western Union Tele-
graph wells, both OF them large flowing
wells. .s... ..
The Sheridan had eight or nine tanks
filed with oil, all of which were destroyed.
AS far as ascertained some 10000 bbls OF
oil were destroyed, and some estimate the
number at a much larger figure. The oil
was foot deep as it ran down Bennehof
run to Oil creek, where, also, between twen
W and thirty derricks were destroyed, the
wells of which were in various stages OF
completion. The loss cannot be estimated
at present, but must be very heavy.

THE Mobile Tribune, of June 20, IN an
article reviewing DR.. Craven's "Prison Lille
of jeff. Davis" uses the following extra
ordinary language;
"Christ came to the earth to save sinners.
The Saviour was vicarious sacrifice for uni
versal salvation The Disciples would have
died in his place, if it had been possible.
What those Disciples were to the Saviour, we
believe any honest man in the South ought
to be to Mr.. Davis. He suffers for us. II
he dies, it will be for us and every Contede-
rate man deserves death as much as he."
The blasphemous attempt to compare JEFF.
Davis to the Son of God, and to set up his
fellow. traitors as Southern apostles, while it
will shock all ideas Of Christian reverence,
only serves to show how even the most sa-
cred and holy sentiments of religion, as well
rs patriotism, have been polluted and de-
bauched by the sin of rebellion. The Demo
cratic heresy of State sovereignty has proved
potent for evil ard neither love of country
the sacredness of oaths, the sense of moral
honor, or the most awful sanctities of reli
gion, have escaped. sacrilege at its desperate
and ruthless hands. rr

sS57T The WAR IN MEXICO. Tho progress
of the Republicans in Mexico agains. their
monarchical opprcssors seems to be steady
and unmistakabie. Matamoras has capitu-
lated, and Mejia, the Imperial Mexican con,-
mandcr, was permitted to sail for Vera Cruz,
where he has arrived. Bagdad had some
time before been abandoned, and the garri-
con went to Tampico. A strong force of
Republicans had taken up the march Tor
Tampico, which it was believed would
speedily fall. This is the second port in
Importance in Mexico. The lmperialists are
being concentrated, and in little while
they will hold scarcely more points than the
city of Mexico and the line to Vera Cruz
The President of Mexico wns to leave Ell
Paso for Chihuahua on the 10th, to again
establish the government there; but on
hearing of the fall of Matamoras, hcwill pro-
badly so to Monterey, much more acceS'
sible position.
