INDICATIONS OF PETROLEUM. Frequent
inquiries are made of late by parties inter-
ested in obtaining information relative to
petroleum. One ofthese inquiries is, SHOW
can determine whether petroleum does or
does not exist in certain locality?"
1t may be remarked that geologists, chem
lists, and practical miners, differ very much
in their views upon this subject. Without
stopping to consider these differences of
opinion, we would state, that the existence
OF coal oil in any particular place is deter
mined both by surface indications and by
the peculiar geological formation of the
country.
In Canada, petroleum is found in what is
called the Silurian limestone. In Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio it is found in the Devonian
formation, and in the former State the bor-
ing tools pass through alternate beds of
Utica, slate and sandstone.
We were shown yesterday some bitumin-
Gus shale, which was obtained from lands
owned by the Cumberland Basin Mining
and Petroleum Company. Shale is defined
by Dana to be "a fne-grained rock, having
a slaty structure" This shale very much re-
sembles slate, but differs from it in this, that
on being thrown into coal fret Immediately
commences to burn, and emits very clear
flame. If it is taken from the fire while
burning. and immersed in vessel containing
water. strong bituminous odor is thrown
off aud particles Of oil are seen collecting
on the surface of the water. We are in
formed by men acquainted with the subject,
that this shale is always found in oil regions.
though the presence Of shale in any partic-
ular locality does not of itself, indicate the
presence of petroleum.
Geologists state that oil is seldom found
where there has been no disturbance of
the earth's surface by violent eruption. On
the contrary, where this eruption has taken
place, it may be regarded as a probable, but
not a positive, indication of the existence of
petroleum. This agitation of the geological
formation can generally be determined by
bearing in mind that, where it does not take
place, the different strata of rocks, have a
regular form, but where disturbance has
occurred, the strata are very Irregular
some inclined at one angle, and some at an
other. es
Another indication is the existence of
what are called "oil blossoms" which con-
sist of bituminous exudations from oil BEDS
and which are found on the margins of
creeks, on rocks and stagnant water. These
BLOSSOMS" are considered 10 be excellent
indications. In this connection We might
state, that geological report OF the oil re-
gions Of East Tennessee, made by DIR. Ely,
State Geologist of Ohio, will soon be pub
iished, in which much information viii be
given upon this and kindrid topics. The
Doctor visited some three or four thousand
acres of land, portion belonging to the
Cumberland Basin NJ. and p. Co. This
company is sinking six oil wells, and some
portions Of their lands contain valuable de-
posts of iron, coal, lead, zinc, marble, &c.
Paramore, Sewers & Wilder, No. As, North
College street, will have this report in few
days. eNs

Letter from President Juarex-He II
Confident Of Success.
Nxw YosK. Feb. 12.-The Tribune publishes a
letter from President Juarez to friend in this
country. He says that the enemy is consuming
his last resources and his forces are becoming de-
marslized. He IS very hopeful Of the republican
cause in Mexico. and says that without the ne
eessity Of the United States taking any part in
the war. they viii be able to obtain the definite
triumph Of the cause Of national Independence.
The attitude assumed by the government Of the
United States has but great moral support to the
republican cause in Mexico. Maximilisn has
now not the slightest idea Of vacating the So
called throne. ~
The Herald's Mexican correspondent says that
while in the vicinity of Vera Cruz there was ap-
pesrance Of great commercial activity, there is
little reality nearly all this merchandise arriving
being for the French portion Of the Imperial
army. Immense supplies Of ordinance stores re-
Gently arrived here have been forwarded to the
capital. All the merchants in Vera Cruz except
ing the French. condemn the Imperial govern
ment openly.
