PETROLEUM.

Petroleum is derived from two Latin
words-petrG, signifies a rock, aud oiuns,
oil. Though its existence in various
parts Of the country has been known al.
most since its first settlement, yet as an
article of great commercial value it is q
discovery of yesterday.
The oil was formerly deemed of little
value, being sold only as medicine in
ounce bottles. At tho present time We
are exporting some $4,000 barrels pei
week, besides supplying an immense
home demand At the oil springs, the
price started at twenty cents per barrel
while at latest advices SO so was offered
Almost every day discloses some new
uses to which this oil may be applied, and
no doubt the time is near when every
product Of its distillaton can be uset
with profit. Gas has been produced from
this oil, superior TO that generated fron
coal; machinery and paint oils have beer
obtained from it wax for making can
dies, and the bases of many dyes. Thou
sands Of new uses are predicted for it.
Attention was first directed towards it
value for the purpose Of illumination, By
experiments in the distillation of oil from
bituminous coal. The question arose
whether, if tho natural oil could be OBJ
taincd in sufficient quantities, it would bt
as valuable as the artificial. Heretofore
the oil had only been observed floating OF

THE New York World deliberately
betrayed tho Democracy in the recent
campaign. Il committed treason for
price. II is the organ of the bond
holders and robbers of the East. It's
uttcrances are all in their interest
We have repeatedly warned our rea-
ders against it, as a malignant and
mercenary enemy, infinitely more dcs-
picable than an open and honest,
though mistaken foe. No such ncwspa-
per should betolcrated. The sound and
earnest Democracy of the codntry
should now, more than ever before,
organize to maintain those faithful
newspaper representatives of their
opinions that can be neither bought
with bonds nor intimidatcd by threats.
The uBtrammeled press of the west
now constitute the last tribune of tho
people, and our people should second
their efforts with hearty and practi-
cal support that will arm them against
such treason as that Of TIE Ncw York
World. That sheet simply represents
the bondholding snobs, who are Sc
blind that they do not see that unless
the public debt is paid In the com
mon currency Of the country it viii
not be paid at all. This is their bust
ness, however, and not ours. They
arc arranging all the preliminaries by
giving the right TO vote, on the deb
question, TO the negroes Of the South
who will be among the first TO repudi
ate the debt in which they haze ne
earthly interest. 1t Is y gross absur
dity to presGme, IS the Bofld does
that any people having the right II
vote will hesitate between the alter
natives Of slavery and rcpudiation.-
The toiling millions have this alterna
tive now forced upon them by the nc
ton OF the bondholders, and the frs
symptom Of the reaction Is the unIycr
