FOB CALIFORNIA AND CHNA.-The tide OF
emigration from New York to California, Chi
ma, and the fur West, is now something so
enormous that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company have announced their intention OF
running a steamer every week, instead OF
every ten days as heretofore. The steamship
Arizona, which left New York April 1st, carried
besides twelve hundred tons Of miscellaneous
freight, over one thousand passengers. The
superior accommodations furnished by this
line, with great reduction in their freight and
passage rates, account for this enormous bu-
siness.

Fowl TH1EvEs.-These marauders have be-
come go numerous in the community that
some steps should be taken to protect the citi-
zens from their raids. There are few streets
where huckster cannot be seen crying poul-
try, and in TOO many cases there is reason to
believe that the stock has been stolen. The
two markets are the proper places to sell poul-
try, and if these are too far distant, certain
portions of the city should be designated for
this trade. 1t is true thai. the fowl vendors are
required to take out license, but this is often
evaded, and unless some ordinance is passed
which will regulate the traffic, our citizens will
continue to suffer from the plunderers of their
hen roosts.

How TO KEEP HoTEI--First, be big,
1hearty, whole-souled, jovial fellow, with a
smile for everybody, especially wnen tney
!. settle their bills. Secondly, keep firstrate
table, frst-rate servants, neat rooms clean
/. sheets, and chambermaids who are "death on
sbed-bugs." Third, have nice clerks who can
swear to every traveller, with the most proper
of faces, that he is about to receive the very
best room in the house-clerks who emulate
the pohteness, bonhon'nsie and suao'ter IN
.nsodo of their chief Major Horbach, OF the
Charleston Hotel, belongs to that immortal
class who may be measured by these rules.
With him improvement is the order of the day,
and the public are quick to find it out. His
latest step forward has been in securing the
services of Mr.. John A. Hamilton, who is said
TO be- one of the most popular hotel men OF the
day. The travelling public will find in him an
old familiar friend. and those who don't travel
will soon discover that he is to the hotel man
l4er born.

AN ExoDus.-The closing otshe Mills House
for the summer necessarily con1relled large
number of the permanent boafders to seek
other quarters. The main entrance was crowd
ed Yesterday with the trunks and baggage OF
the departing guests. For six long months
the Mills House will be but the shadow Of its
former self; the rooms will be closed and the
doors barred against the traveller, and only
those who have charge of the building will be
allowed ingress. That portion OF Meeting
street will lose it's wonted Life and activity. 1t
ia an i'll wind, however, that blows no one good,
and what is loss to the Mills House may prove
gain to other hotels in the city.

NEW DEVELOPMENTs.
The Production Of the Fennsyls
Tania OH Regions.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Times
writing from the Gil regions OF Pennsyl-
vanis, says:
The returns OF the whole oil region
shows product for October Of $40 8l3
barrels; for the last day, II, ,113 barrels
q reduction Of 14l4 barrels upon the last
GRy OF the previous month. From the
let OF January 30 the lst Of November,
the aggregate yield was 5000, GOO bar
rels-with nearly double the number OF
new wells-an increase Of only about 10
per cent. upon lsst years product. Du-
ring this period OF ten months, the ship
ments to foreign countries have increased
so per cent upon last years; whilst the
stock on hand in Europe aggregate no
more, showing greatly increased con-
sumption there. Meantime, the whole
stock on hand here Is only 266, 600 bar
rels, against 666, 900 Tor 400, 900 less thab)
the SANG time last year. The price aver
ages "a 90 per barrel, against S. 0last
year.
The number OF new wells being drilled
is 435 against 255 the same time a year
ago, and Of these 213 are at Pleasant
vile, where there are already about 100
producing wells, the whole yielding daily
about 1000 barrels. 1t is estimated that
there are about 1000 wells in operation
In the whole region, averaging only 10 to
II barrels each daily.
The old oil region proper is all on the
west side of the Allegheny river, with
the exception Of q few wells on the east
side, immediately upon the margin of
the river, These few wells on the east
side have all been spasmodio, and, with
tbs exception OF those opposite Tideoute,
very short iived-the oil having been OBJ
tained only within q few hundred feet OF
the surface, In the first or second sand
rock; +; no third or fourth sand rock hav-
ing been found, either at the river or 20
miles esst of it, although in the l&tter in
stance the wells are sunk a thousand

feet. The general impression was that
there was = third or fourth oil strata
(which are the reliable ores for produce
tiveness) on the east side, notwithstand-
ing Profs. AgassiZ and Bower gave their
opinions that they might be found there
at some distance back, where they were
not, SIS at the river, displaced entirely /;
provided the real eastward dip Of the
strata was taken into consideration.
AS at Pieasantville, the Mecca Of Oil
dunn, 1t seemed to be reserved for Chi
csgoan to make the discovery of the
great third sandroek, or regular oil bear
ing stratum on the east side. By regard
ing the suggestions Of these distinguished
geologists, a citizen Of your place has
just reached, at considerable depth, the
very desirable third sandrock, with
abundance OF oil-pebbles, and Is now
drilling for fourth, with q certainty OF
oil In large quantities when heshsll have
found an opening or crevasse, as at Pit
hole or upon Oil Creek in old times,
when it was no uncomHon thing to
strike flowing well that yielded from
500 to even 5000 barrels per day.
Petroleum having become such an iD-
dispensabe article both st home and
abroad, the Importance of this discovery
TO consumers cannot very well be exag-
gersted nor to trade, when we remem-
Der that after being refined its aggregate
value amounts to from $40, 100000 to
$50, 600, 900 annually; especially when
we reflect that the old oil region, on the
weet side has ceased to flow, has but enc
well of even $50 barrels, and less than
five yielding over 100 barrels daily;
showing that tits, more or less, one com
mon basin, daily being emptled lower
and lower of its gas and oil.

SOUTHERN TRANS-CONTENEN-
TAL RAILROAD.
Lsiter from Gen. Mosscrans.

In letter to the Louisville Gosrier-
Journal, on the subject Of the Southern
Trsns-COntinent Railroad, General
Rosecrsps makes the following sug-
gestions:
/. This is the Congressional session,
when the outgoing wishes to do some
thing gracious, and the incoming Rd-
ministration ought to be glad to get rid
of the responsibility of appropriations in
aid of our railroads, and beth ought
therefore, to favor the required sppFo-
priatioas.
z. The development OF the South and
West, and tho construction of South
efn Trsns- Continental Railroad are 80
abundantly fraHght with public benefits,
that II those interested use proper means
and minds to lay the facts before the
country through the press, they can cre-
ate public opinion that will bear their
measures through Congress promptly
and without extra effort. But if they
act without unity, and each interest
uuderstR6dingly conflicts with the other,
/ am afraid Of failure, expense and mis-
chief.
8. I earnestly suggest that only three
of the principal lines. say the Kansas
Branch, Atlantic and Pacific, and Mem
phis and New Orlesns, and Fulton or
Shreveport, ought to ask subsidies to the
valley Of the Rio Grsnde.
1. That thence to the Pacific there
should be but one grand trunk line, over
which all the westward bound lines from
the Mississippi and Gulf to the valley OF
the Rio GTanGe should have equal
rights to run trains at uniform rates and
charges.
3. That the rights ard subsidies for Its
construction from the Rio Grsnde TO the
Colorado shOuld belong to that one Of
these lines which should frat reach the
initial point to be fixed in the valley 0:
the Rio Grsnde, and from the Colorado
westward to the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company, or 10 the San niego and
Gila City Railroad Company.
6. That the initial point should be fixed
in the valley OF the Rio Grande, near
Ell Paso, because that will open two hum
dred miles Of that great and fertile val
leg, accommodate ell the westward
bound railroad lines from the Kansas
branch to the Rio Grsnde, give an initial
point for 8 railroad to chihuahua, and
for an overland thence 10 the Pacific,
possessing all the advantages set forth
in the note appended to this letter, TO
which beg to cell especial attention.
Z. To effect the best results, the friends
Of these railroad lines should organize,
appoint special representatives under one
general head, and discuss and arrange
the programme which this head should
carry out.
This arrangement will give ell fair
chance, do most that can be done for the
entire railroad interest, and prevent
those otherwise necessary combinations
Of extreme and stronger interests which
in self-defeuse crush minor ones, while
1t would reduce to 3 minimum the
chances Of corruption and public demor-
allzation.
