The draymen have been in the habit of eirdr ading the oil where ever the agents of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company directed them, as most convenient to their ears, etc. The company had Leen find for blocking ep the street, but that Mammoth corporation, as is well known, cares vary little for a lino. It was dememin ad, if possible, to cornet the evil by reaching the draymen, and fining them for cub and eve, offence. Accordingly, warrants were tuned yesterday, by Mayor Lowry, for a number .of draymen, who appeared, together I With many of their friends, to answer the- Adams, The draymen explained to the Mayor that they were obliged to unload the oil Jut where . the agent of URI company directed them, or they would lose their dray age. After • fall interchange of views, the draymen present, about fifty in number, en tered into the following agreement: - "We, the undersigned draymen, wagoners, end eaten, of the city of Pittsburgh, hereby pledge . muselvta that wo will not deliver, on arapialle streets, any oil to be carried over . elf rennsyltanik Railroad—with the ander standing that the Mayor will rigidly enforce the ordinance nrohibitingobstructions on the pebile streets, against all offenders." ,fi the draymen present signed the above, and the Mayer gave them td understand, dia tinetigs that he would heremitarintlict the silty proscribed by ordinance (tee dollars for every+flotation. Two police officers willbe ed station abeutthe depot, to watch the opera tions there 'for a time, and the law will be strictly enforced without regard to persons. /fa dna were imposed or costs exacted in the present ease, and it is to be hoped that no further trouble will be exparienged by the ymen, the -pollee, or the public.

The Tax on Petroleum The Philadelphia Ledger, after alluding to the great activity now manifeded in the oil region--ibe formation of companies for the purpose of boring to greater depths, and the large amount of oil lands now being par- abated, says: "The action of Congress on taxineemde petroleum in watched with some concern for it is feared that if suoh o tax is Imposed, it wil greatly affect the quantity now exported to Europe. The petroleum trade has grown so extensive and profitable, that all the.

Ipropose to take them up seriatim. 1.

If deep water is better adopted to navigation than shallow water—if a genie current can be overcome with a less expenditure of power, and of fuel, and money than a rapid one—lf sloven months' navigation iu the year is more desirable than five or six— then the question may be most confidently answered in the alfirmative. So much for the general question. Now tbo Interrogator de scends to particulars, and very Important ones they new. lie asks 2. " troot.i not ate pooh, %rem. •onlice, and re main lonpr frozen! Unquestionably they would be sheeted over with ice somewhat sootier than the river would be in its natural condition ; but not mach. la •. . . the natural state of the river there are many long deep pools, in which the water, when low, is quite:slack, almost as much sou If there were dams. But suppose this effect should follow the erection of dame, would it be det rimental to navigation or otherwiset Would not these quiet, flood sheets of lee upon the pools be far less obstructive to navigation than the wild, driving field. of ice, such as we have often coon upon the setting in of hard frost' Let those sheets once become Im movable, and then the numerous boats nevi gating the river would easily keep a shun t net open ; so that nothing but exceedingly severe weather would permanently obstruct navigation: I.“ihmish or owe hove freight as cheap of we nem. co tta ricer is in a good stage ire, always, and cheaper too. Suppose the tolls upon go•ds should ho from one to two cents per hondred pounds between Pittsburgh and Louis•ille, or vie , rerta, (and that would be s_uapie,l that would be so much: and sup pose it ehoold take one-third more time to make a trip down and bark; that would be to ranch more. Set these two items down on the debit side. Now coneider that, in the present condition of the river, it requires as much power to carry three hundred tons from Louls. elite to Pittsburgh as it would to carry a thou sand tone between the same points on a slack water. And the same rule applies to the down trip, for the reason that boats are adapted, not to slackwater, not to down stream navigation, hot are constructed and supplied with power to contend with the strong opposing current that most i.e overcome in the, ascending nevi. gation. It is on the name principle that a man hitches four or via horses to a wagon— not because he has to banrit over alert,' road, or down a mountain tide—but because he knows that he has tonscwoi • mountain side; and this asoendieg grade is his guide, the lasi, of Lis estimate, in loading hit wagon. Take away tho mountain, and he could carry twice as much at the same expense, or haul the same load with two horses. Now, those who propose to tlackwater the river, propose I, remote the mountn.h. They propose to reek, Ike tiffm.g pob.r. vf the lathe do the work that is now done by the sheer torte and the latish expenditure of steam. A little reflection upon three simple principles will serve to r •nriace any MAO, Who is open to iomiviction, that, were the Ohio cont. erred into a good slackwater, goods of terry kind, from coal to the most finished fabrics, could and would be carried cheaper than they have ever been married. The toll on coal ought not to exceed ten rents per ton from Pittsburgh to Louisville. .4. If not, mould it beet i=pronme,s to taw it. beery shipment. in f spring. in on-der to seem s • hm s mom cm the Pt.:lAtt, thip.,,./ o f the rormmr , This Inestik n is clam!) oonnocted with the third, and is already answered by the removal of the predicate. I shall, thelefore, merely remark in this connection, that the coal busi ness would be mainly prosecuted in the sum mer, when the water was low, for then the current of the !leer would he the slackest end for that business the slacker the better, especially for returning with empty barges, If, indeed, they would be returned empty. S. Hu or °hoot cre,idenis iw oe to he leeks • • All human operations aro liable to acci dents, and coneequent interruptions ; but there are feu tbingii more susceptible of being guarded against curl contingencies than canal or elackreater lochs. UM=l r,in moth. ti no al As for raft., all I need to say is, that times when they can be navigated oat of the tributaries vi the Allegheny—far up which they are nearly all construoted—there is al way. water enough in the Ohio to carry them safely over the proposed dams. When the river is at a stage of ten feet above low water, there will be very little difference be tween tho levels of the water above and be low the dame. At about If, feet the Inclined plane of the river would be restored, when there would be no difference at all occasioned by the dam. At curb times oven heavy laden coal boats could go over the, dams in safety. But, were the river converted into a slack water, that method of carrying coal would be abandoned, simply because it would not pay. Barges could be towed back too cheaply to warrant the purchase and fitting out of acre turning l•broadhonss." 7. "In the Spriny:rtuth, they [raft. and flat boat.] he tucked, nr 9.1 non tie dams ." Why, my dear sir, there would then be no " , Spring rush." That would be the very time when there would be the least inducement to "rush" upon tho river with anything except timber and lumber—rafts. Of them I have already spoken. But should rafts or tint boats be on the way when the water war too low to go over the dams in safety, they could be looked through like anything else. The toll on suoh things ought to be only nominal. R. " W,n.L7 die water he ns yoei /or to the .hies and wen. on vie fit, " Not only as good, but better. The dams, by deepening the water, and keeping the now steaming, reeking ban deeply covered, would prevent very mach of that which now spoils the water, especially those quick-grow ing, quick-decaying water grass and weeds, now se abundant in the summer season upon the numerous ban of mad and gravel. The notion that motion purifies water, is a mis take, to demonstrate Whieh I need only point to the Allegheny, with Its deep, quiet pool. and short intervening ripples, and the Sus quehanna, which goo' trotting, and purling, and boiling, throughout Its whole course from the mountains to the tide water. Bath drain the same region, for their head branches Interlock extensively; but while the first Is pure, pellucid and sweet, the other is foul and and offensive. As my views, written and publisbeji several years ago, have, within a few weeks, been re published through the columns of the Gasstie, on the general subject of this improvement, I shall at present pursue It no further. I hope I have suceeeded In answering satis factorily the questions of my unknown friend; and if I have thrown any light upon this Im portant subject I shall feel myself well own pensaftd.
