Petroleum; What is It?

The name of Petroleum means Rock
Oil. This indicates its place in the
earth. True, it flows from the earth,
sometimes floats on ponds or lakes,
comes out in springs, Is found in some
rocks, aud is distilled from bituminous
coal. 1t used to he collected on Seneca
lake and was called Seneca oil. The
writer has some which was taken from
that lake more than fifty years ago,
and is precisely like that from the oil
regions of Virginia, Pennsylvania, and
other States. Yet it is not new thing
for it was known and used on the
Eastern Continent before the Christian
era. 1t has excited new interest from
its abundance and from its new and
extensive uses. Its expectation from
our country is prodigious, a real era
in the trade.
Petroleum is n real chemical COM
pound, formed of carbon and hydro
gen, or a true hydro-carbon. Several
compounds of these two elements exis.
together in it. Its conversion by heat
into Illuminating gas is well known
This is q gaseous hydro-carbon, as is
naphtha also; and bitumen is solid
hydro-carbon. Such vast quantities
flow from tho oil wells that people
cannot but inquire, How is it pro-
duced Though chemists and geolog-
lists of high character for knowledge
believe this oil results from chemical
action upon either vegetable or animal
matter buried in the earth, or upon
both, they have not shown its produc-
ton, or what is the matter acted on,
and how the action is carried on. All
agree that it seems to be connected
with coal fields, where were imbedded
immense quantities of vegetable sub
stances.
A late paper contains q protested
answer, and gives, as it supposes, the
complete chemical process in the for
nation of the oil. Omitting the great
mistakes in the chemistry, let us look
at the process. The paper states that
ilihtSOoHt, ChIbphitc VI iiiit, iitS Dc-
low, and sandstone above, the oil rock;
that water filters from the surface
through the sandstone INTO the lime
stone, and that there the hydrogen of
tho water combines with the carbon
in the limestone to form the oil, while
the other elements pass off; and hence
the production of oil must be unlim-
tied, as the substances, water and
carbon, in the rocks, are without a
limit. This is beautiful theory, and
seems scientific in language. Yet
chemists have never been able to dis
cover or effect the union Of carbon and
hydrogen from water and limestone,
or TO detect any action or force which
would lead to such result. The
solution has not been giveD.--N Y.

TnIcmNA-The attention Of pork
enters is called to the following item
of intelligence which. we copy from
the Detroit Adrertiser & Tribune. The
case mentioned has been and is still a
very prominent topic of conversation
in Detroit, and has unquestionably
created considerable CONSERVATION in
some quarters:
A New DISEASE ARISING FROM EAT
ING PoRK. -One case Of the epidemic
called 7riehind, which has recently ex-
cited so much alarm i'll Berlin, Prussia,
has appeared in this city and proved
fatal. The victim was young lady
IA German who was taken ill some
time since, and called DIR. Herman
Keifer to attend her. DIR. X. was at
first unable to tell the precise nature
Of the disease, but finally became con-
WINGED that it was of the same nature
as the Triehina, which has been known
for some years in Germany, and
which arises from the eating of dis
eased pork. The T'ichina Sprdls is a
small microscopic worm or animacule,
which WINS first observed by the dis
tinyuished anatomist, Richard Owen,
in 1853, and is found in the muscles
and intestines of various animals, es-
pecially pigs and rabbits III such enor-
NOUS quantities that in a single ounce
of pork, 100000 of these aninlacule
have been founl.
BY partaking Of the meat infected
with them, they are transferred to the
human body, causing intense suffering,
followed in many cases by painful
death. DIR. X. did his utmost to relieve
the intense suffering OF his patient,
but his efforts to save her life were
unavailing, and she died about week
ago. After her death a post norton
examination was held which has re-
sulted in proving beyond a doubt
that the desease was Trichina. A
small portion of the flesh, about the
size Of a pin head was examined
through "a microscope and found to con-
tain large numbers of animalculm,
wound around aud imbedded in the
flores Of the muscle, exactly similar in
appearance to the T1chiaa Sp.rdls
This we believe is the only ease of this
disease that has ever been known in
this country. DIR. Keller states that
these animaculp are not destroyed
by smoking or as a general thing by
frying pork but hard and long boiling
is necessary to efIectualy destroy them

The only priveledged men of the
country appear to be lawyers. Were
an editor TO publish one half of the
abuse in his paper that is uttered
every day in our courts of justice, he
would be up for libel about four times
a week. If the conductor of news
paper insinuates that honest men
should avoid Sneak, the chicken thief,
he is promptly served with a writ,
and before Sneak quits his hold, he is
a lucky man if he escapes going to
the Penitentiary. Lawyers, however,
meet no such Impeachment. They
not only call Sneak scoundrel but
they apply the term to halfof the hon
est men who make their appearance
in the court room.

Great solicitude has been exhibited by
Northern journals to discover whether Gen.
Grant who was accompanying the President
approved of his political addresses. The fol-
lowing dispatch from Columbus, Ohio,
says:
" In conversation with Gen. Cox last evening,
Gen. Grant and Admiral Farragut declared
their disapproval of the Presidents policy
and commended that of Congress. Both
gentlemen said substantially that they were
participants in the Presidents campaign
tour by express instructions, and not from
any inclination on their part. The converse
tions were not strictly private, for several
parties were present"
The commander of the Boys in Blue "
who waited on Gen. Grant at Woods Thea
tre in Cincinnati, has published a card,
setting forth what Gen. Grant said to him on
the occasion, which we publish IS follows:
"After being introduced and takingme by
the hand, he said !: / am not a politician. The
President of the United States is my superb
or officer, and am under his command. 1
beg of you, if you have any regard for me, to
march your company away, as 90 not wish
to be thus annoyed. Iconsider this poiitl-
cal demonstration, for selfish and political
object, and all such disapprove Of Icame
here to enjoy the performance, but shall be
glad to see you all tomorrow, at the Burnet

lady who reciprocates his passion, and that
lately the young lady offering to kiss him,
he refused the salute because previous kiss

Mr.. Stephens Compliments Judge Ruffin.
In speech delivered by Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens, at Bedford, Pa, on the 4th instant,
he says:
"No sound constitutional lawyer believes
any one ofthe organizations now existing in
those States to be legitimate governments
Formed by the DEGREES of military con-
queror, without consulting the people, they
can be tolerated only as temporary arrange
ment, until the law making power provides
them permanent laws and forms of govern
ment. They are so considered by the rebels
themselves. Chief Justice Ruffin, of North
Carolina, one of the ablest and fairest of seces-
sionists, has lately given the following opin-
ion Mr.. Stevens here quotes Judge Rufin's
opinion. Tie Chief Justice is right. Not
rebel State has this day lawful govern
ment. They are mere Territories conquered
by our arms from the Confederate States Of
America"
Extremes have met. Mr.. Stevens holds
that every thing that has been done in the
way of restoration is null and void, aud
Judge Ruffin entertains the same opinion.
Yet Mr.. Stevens is abused and Judge Ruffin
is praised by the secessionists and their
allies.

others.
