The statement that during the year
1858, the period of the first great oil
fever, 100000 barrels of crude petro-
leum were produced, shows the i'm
mense resources of the Pennsylvania
oil regions when actively developed.
The present production is much small
er, because so many companies have,
from too early encouragement, OF gross
Encouragement, discontinued work.
But as soon as the new petroleum. fuel
burner takes its place as recognized
steam. generator, and begins to be fol-
lowed by the improvements which ex-
perience will suggest, the market value
OF the crude article willrise again, and
the production will receive a new I'M
pulse. The Journal Of Mining thinks
that probably the actual cost of petro-
m-fuel for the generation OF given
amount OF steam is, or will be, as great
as that ofcoal or wood; but that the adj
vantaGes of superior convenience and
cleanliness, and the economy of space,
time and labor must be the points on
which its Introduction Is recoInmended.
This commends itself as true, but in
addition must be reckoned the great
advantage of preserving coal for other
purposes of fuel and of saving wood,
which, with water, Is the most impor-
tant material a new country can pos
sess, for the innumerable constructive
and mechanical uses In which II Is
needed. ~ tUa

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. men are ruined
by overwork; others are marred by
everyday. II we could only distribute
the excess on either hand so as to pro-
duce a genial, healthy balance Of ac-
ton. Utopia would be realized. Mean
time, perhaps the best, certainly the
most that can be done, Is to philosophize
and utter paradoxes about the situa-
ton, as is very cleyerly done by the
Saturday ReUiei9:
Considering that the excessive work,
whether in search of riches or OF the
bubble reputation, is from every point
OF view the crying mischief of the time,
alike for "A mans country and for him
self Individually, IL would be u waste
OF words TO discuss the nature of a
practice which enables him to carry his
absorption in the task of private ag-
grandiZement beyond even its present
high and extreme mark. II the age
wants one Thing more than another, it
Is the passing OF an Eight Hours' Bill
for men who earn more than thous-
aud year by profession. A Trades'
Union Of doctors, merchants, lawyers,
prohibiting overtime, would be the
very best institution that could be de-
sired. Stimulants operate exactly in
the opposite way. They are the great
HuxiIiaries of overtime. They allow Il
man TO work overtime to any extent,
and in consequence they encourage
him to neglect all those minor objects
OF pursuit., by which 1t is, above all
things, needful Tor him TO temper the
heat and narrowness OF the one main
object of pursuit.

Points.
hun he SteliGeurRle RsgGEf Of Monday.
About a week ago a lady arrived in
this city accompanied by a little boy of
perhaps eight years old, represented 10
be her son. She told pitifnl story, ex-
citing the sympathy of many of our cit
liens. Her husband had come to this
country, and when the rebellion broke
out had gone into the Union army, and
after getting sufficient funds, sent for
her and his children. On reaching this
point her means became exhausted and
she was obliged to appeal to a generous
public for assistance to get to Cincin-
natl, where her husband, Patrick Ha-
ley, was living. She exhibited a letter
purporting 10 be from her husband,
stating that he had not been able TO
work since about the time OF his dis
charge from the army, and urging her
to persevere on her way TO join him at
Cincinnati. Her story and her let
ter secured her friends and she sue
ceeded in raising a considerable
amount OF funds. Unfortunately
for her she commenced the transmits
sion of funds in the form of Post Office
money orders. On Wednesday last she
transmitted as mentioned $25, and on
enclosed in printed envelopes, address,
ed to John Shine. This circumstance
reused suspicion, and on Saturday
morning she was arrested and brought
before N. o. Junkin, Esq. On exam
lining hercarpet sack large number of
letters addressed to her under different
names, but always as the wife of the
writer, who sometimes signed himself
Patrick Collins aud sometimes Patrick
Haley. These letters were all in the
same handwriting. The one exhibited
in her operation here was addressed
TO Mrs. Julia Haley. These letters
showed that she had been operating in
the same manner at Chillicothe, Mari
eta, ParkersburR and Wheeling. After
examining the documents and other
evidence Mr.. Junkin sent her 10 jail,
in default of bail in the sum of $500 for
her appearance at court. II is very evil
dent that this woman has been in her
swindling operations, doing quite n
profitable business, financially.

What General Grant Says

The Louisville correspondent of
the Cincinnati GazeNe has conversed
with the Arkansas radical delegation,
who had gone to Washington to have
their State set back into territorial
condition. This correspondent, whose
despatch is dated the 11th instant,
gives the following as the delegation s
report Of what Gen. Grant said to
them ut the dinner table OF Secretary
Seward:
Gen. Grant, who was very rcticent
IN political matters, frankly stated 10
them he knew nothing Of political
affairs, and was totally ignorant of
the sophistries of politicians. Re
garding the constitutional amend
ment, the General declined to express
any opinion as to its justice, consti-
tutionality or expcdiency, but said
he would like for at least one South
ern State to adopt it, as an expert
ment, to see if its Senator's and Rep
resentatives would be admitted to
seats in Congress; at the same time
expressing the opinion that they
would be admitted He also stated
that, at the commencement of Con-
gress, he urged upon prominent mem-
bers, if they intended to make the
adoption, on the part of the South
ern States, of the amendment the
condition precedent the re-admission,
they ought to pass 4 resolution to
that effect, solemnlv plcdging Con-
gress to receive the Senators and
Representative into that body. Ii
they did not take some such step,
they could not expect the Southern
people to take step that might be
preliminary to others that would lead
them they knew not where. On the
negro suffrage question he was more
decided, stating that he believed that
was Il question that should be left
wholly and entirely with the people
of the several States; that Congress,
in his opinion, had no right to inter
fere in that matter; and emphatically
declared, if the question came up in
Illinois, and he were there to vote,
he would certainly vote against it.
But, he said, smiling, if he were in
one of the Southern States, he be-
ieved he would vote for it, for he was
satisfied that he could march the ne
groes up to the polls and vote them
as he pleased, and would thus be gain
ing instead OF losing political power.
