the extract we make above, that no rea-
der of the two, could ever conceive that
one and the same newspaper, had been
guilty of publishing them. But the poll
cy which prompted the one, and the poll
cy which prompted the other, are widely
different, hence a different tone. But the
Monroe doctrine was the progeniture Of
the Olayton-C fittenden- Bulwer treaty,
that occasioned San Juan del Norte to be
vacated, after it had singularIy come to be
called Grey Town. We apprehend, that
in the question of SANTANA Bay, the Mon
roe doctrine would be found standing SEN
tlnel there too.-ED. TID.-Ibid.

THE OIL REGION.

In and around the Oil-region, "hundred
o%fthousands of dollars worth of proper
ty change hands, often after only a few
moments conversation. Whiskey drink
ing goes between-whiles tobacco smoke,
rolling out of a hundred mouths, circles
round the flames of petroleum-lamps and
the heads of the company, giving the
apartment the appearance of the ante
chamber to an Internal realm. In offices,
saloons, and beside the derricks Of wells,
men step to talk, 10 hear of q speculation,
and to make a bargain before they part.
The fever extends to all classes; the
veriest common hands at the wells will
take you an investment. Brokendown
merchants from the north, young men
without means, are often content TO come
here and accept the lowest situations, in
order to watch for chances. 4 floating
population of from forty to fifty thousand
people wanders through the territory in
sleighs, wagons, horseback and ,on foot,
carrying carpet-bags, keeping their ears
and eyes open, and ready at any moment
for a flyer People sometimes get rich
before they know it. The accumulation
OF sudden wealth is rapid, marvellous.
You may stop to exchange "a few words
with almost any man in the territory,
and he will tell you some new tale Of a
fortune. Two lrlshmen, with a capital Of
two or three thousand dollars each and
no credit, leased a piece of land last fall,
and commenced sinking o well. Down,
Down, down they bored. No oil. Day
after day ~deeper-into the third sand
rock, below it; but no oil. Their mo-
ney was exhausted, their spirits lower
than their well. One day they gave it up
in despair. Just after the decision, one
of them proposed to utterly exhaust hope
by keeping the engine running until the
wood was burnt out. This was agreed
to. The next morning, 10! a hundred
and seventy barrel well-a fortune for
both owners, penniless the day before.
Another man bought out.a well, whichw was
about being abandoned by its discouraged
owner, for the sum of three thousand
dollars. The following week the well
struck oil to the tune Of between fifty
and sixty barrels per day.
Speculation being thus rampant, .the
profits realized from transactions in land
