AGE OF THE OIL BAsIN.-How long
tho existence of petroleum in north

Since the settlement of the cohn,ry

not until within a few years was it

A PEnsECUTED P6ETEss.- Some weeks
since it was announced that the works of q
rebel poetess had been seized in Virginia
and the entire edition, of five hnn'red copies,
burned by oder of Gen. Terry. 1t Turns out
that the unfortunate lady whose productions
were thus summarily reduce to ashes is
Mrs. Corne ia Jordan, once a ra.ident OF the
Dal'es. Mrs. Jor Ian is certainly entitled to
pity in having so many evidences OF her &C.
