CCorrespondence of The Press. 3 * Lebanon, Pa,, Oct, 1,1801. ' Bev. O. P. Krauth, D. D., presented, an appltca tion from tho Council of St. John's Church, PhUa •delphia, praying to be honorably dismissed from its connection with this Synod, By a unanimous vote Synod requested Dr. Krauth to state the reasons •which governed the Oounciltn making this appli ■ cation. These were furpished in a written commu nication, read to Synod by Dr. Krauth. , After va rious propositions, and a protraoted'ilisousslon, the subject was referred to a select committee, consist ing of Revs. Heck, Born, and Wedekind. Bevs. O. P. Krauth, D. D., and Bov. Samuel Laird asked to be honorably dlsttissed from their connection with this whibh, ln both cases, was granted. ; Ministers now presented their written parochial reports, which were referred to the Committee on ,the State of the Church. Eer. E< "W. Butter, visitor to the Lutherville Fe "lhale Seminary, made report'that'ihe had discharged the trust confided to him. On the 30th of June last, be had attended the commencement exorcises, with which he had been highly gratified. Seven young ladies had then graduated. During the past acade mic year eighty-five pupils 'were in attendance for the whole or •part of the session, viz .* fifty-one from Maryland, nineteen- from Pennsylvania, twelve from the District of Columbia, two from-Vir ginia, one from New Jersey, and one from Cali fornia. Fifty-four of these were of Lutheran oonnec tion.'Tlio efficient and honored principal, Rev. B. Sadtler, Is also the village preacher, and pastor. ‘Through the Divine Messing on" his labors,,ton young ladies had been led to make a public profes sion of faith in Christ by union with the Church, During the present term the space of the seminary “has so been taken up with hew accessions of pupils that it has been found necessary to enlarge the ac commodations for dormitory purposes, and an addi tional wing to the edifice may soon become neces sary. It cannot be doubted either that Eev. Mr. Sadtlerhas found an invaluable adjunct in Major General Philip Sheridan, who, by his expulsion of Early’s band of rebel plunderers from Maryland and .the border region, has rendered Lutherville a safe -place even for the most sensitive and delicate of our sisters and daughters. ■ ; l. Eev.: Lewis J. Bell, of Philadelphia, was excused Tor non-attendance on the sessions of Synod, and by letter announced his willingness to return to the ac tive duties of the ministry. , Bev, E. Greenwald, D. D., reported adversely on the application of Saniuol Femald, a local preacher of the Metho'dift Church, to be received into connec tion with Lutheran Church and ministry.' From the' faots of his case, as presented by -himself, It was ar gued that the proposed change might not, perhaps, prove pleasant to himself nor profitable to us. Ho -was hence advised to continue in his present eccle siastical connection, and preaoh the Gospel as he may have opportunity. Report adopted. Key. A. “Wletlng, by a unanimous vote,-was •granted a hearing before the Minlsterium. ' On motion of Eev. E. Huber, It was resolved that hereafter all tho ministers of district synods bo re ferred to the same committee.

H Oil Stocks. RXPBKIENOIi OP A PIOKEBB—ADYICR TO NEW COM PANIES—WHAT HOLDERS OF NBW STOCK SHOULD DO—A GLANCE AT THE PAST—THE FUTURE png. DICTED. The Pittsburg Commercial publishes the following interesting communication: The speculative portion of our community has for a few months past been desperately excited about oil stocks, having discovered all of a sudden that < rook oil was really a world-wide requirement, that its production In any great quantity was confined to a county or twolin Pennsylvania and Virginia, and" that those persons who pioneered In the business of its discovery and production were reaping immense fortunes. There are thousands of persons buying the stocks, offering the same for sale,' who are not posted as to the merits or demarits of any of the com panies now organised, and; consequently a. -very ■crazy, inconsistent, foolish spirit of speculation exists. The w rlter has had a practical understanding of the crude oil business since its first discovery ana would : cheerfully give each person his experienced it, but will,do so through your excellent journal! which, no doubt, reaches every one who desires informa tion upon the subject. In the first place, allow me -to"say that the “oil fever” ragail here lu 1860 and ’6l to a fearful’extent, so much so that the amount of oil produced in ’62 was so great that it sold for -25 e per barrel at the wells, ami the unfortunate Indi viduals who had a largo flowing well considered themselves done for, worse off than the one who had no oil at all, too big an undertaking to build vats to retain it, or buy barrels: to send ft to market in, 'the Writer permitted 600 barrels to flow Into" Oil Greek to get rid of it, there being no market what evorfor it. : -: • ■ ■ This state of things produced a complete' reverse, cooled down the fever.at once'; many who had part - ly bored their weUs concluded that the business was played out, and consequently abandoned the pro ject went to war or some other way, and many hun ; idreds’of leases were forfeited, as most all-leasesare ' ■ drawn with the clause,“to prosecute‘the work of : boring for oil with reasonable diligence until oil is obtained, dr forfeit the lease.” The entire Venango region was almost abandoned, especially by those : who had bored down from one to three hundred feet; -the wells, buildings, and engines all carelessly for l aaken; ’ became the resorts of cattle to shade them; -from the sun.; Many of these'wells are abandoned to ■this day. I have every confidence, however, that they would be fine paying wei la, were they bored deeper and worked properly. Those persons who thus be came discouraged are the great losers to-day, and the fact should be a warning to all who ■- embark In the .purchase of oil stock now, hot to sacrifice when'a re verse j,of their hopes and expectations takes place from any cause. It was an erroneous conclusion,' that because there was more oil found than there was a demand for, therefore the further pursuit of It was a profitless business. A little lofleetton would have Impressed any one that there had not . been time to fntroduce the oil; that its. very cheapness would introduce it to every market in the civilized world, and that the present enormous demand would be the legitimate result. ’ It is my firm belief that the 'consumption from this time will exceed the production should the pro duction.increase in the same ratio that It has for the past three years, : and no considerable discourage > ment need be apprehended from this oause. There will be an aggregate number of dry holes bored by the new companies formed of late, but rest assured that if the men who have formed your: organizations ■are only faithful and ■will makq the personal sacri fices necessary to carry out the diligent prosecution of the work on.the ground, your investment, nine out of. ten, will he a good one.' In taking: stock di vide your investment among six or eight compa nies, selectsome dividend paying, ones, don’t de apise leases, or he humbugged by, fee -Blmples ; be governed by the surrounding locality, for if oil is : 11 aB I quantity from one barrel to one hundred, you have good reason to expeefa good re* turn. When you do subscribe, don’t .display so much anxiety to get rid of a stock; consider that you have something that will Improve in the keen ing; Pnr streets of late have been full of stock f brokers, both hands full of certificates, on whleh the -mkls scarcely dry, offering to every person met :if nothing else destroys confidence In the oil busi ness this foolish dealing will.' There Is no fraud Intended by any company whosa lands lie within the area of proven oil territory, it Is but reasonable to expeet that every. one who in vests In stocks of undevelopedland,andwllllngly :takes the risks of the venture, If he has not got the courage to take risks of that kind, he should elect to stay out of such speculations; Many persons whom : I have persuaded to subscribe to organizations, in 1860, became discouraged after the payment of a ffew assessments and Bold out, to , many of whom I paid back their money, and took their several inta -„ rests and continued the payment of all called assass rnents, and have the good fortune now of reaping treat profits. There were six persons who:backed: own from ono company when the whole assessment ‘ of eaeh share of stock only amounted to one hun dred and thirty-five dollars, ft pays to the pre sent holders .dividends amounting to three hun >dred dollars on eaeh share per year. I thus cite past experience to show the folly of persons Invest ing' their money and not their courage in the oil business. Most of the companies now organized jhave as fair'prospects for oil as could be desired. The lands generally have been selected wit h refer ence to other producing territory in the samelo cality. ’ This advantage the pioneers were deprived of, the whole oil region being comparatively a 1 blank,;, therefore, I would humbly advise stock holders not to show so inuch desire to force their fstoeks upon the market. By so doing they show a want of courage, ancr impress the capitalist, or the individual: seeking investment,with the'ideathat ;you have no faith in your stock. ; ' I kjtowof no investment outside of Government securities that offers to the people of the .United . States a surer source of great profit, and the rule I •would propose to those who buy oil stocks is to dis tribute their funds In several companies, and they 'Will be sure to win. - Rook oil cannot be competed with by any other •oil. Its light is better than any other, and can be sold cheaper, and, it is bound to follow in the foot steps of Christianity and civilization to. the utter most bounds of the globe, J. K. M.

The meeting was addressed by Captain Calhoun, ~~ of Kentucky. He said : It afforded him much plea sure to see such.-an , enthusiastic meeting; he had just come from Union League Hall,* and had .‘seen' ' just such a_mass as this. He had seen a great hum- i ber of the daughters of America together, too. He had beloriged to the "Western army. When the war broke-out he.was in Tbxas, and when he had got home he found that the rebels had ’torn down the flag at Memphis,' and he determined that, as long as strength was left him, he would light until that flag was restored to the place whenee .it had-been ‘ torn by the rebels: : They tell ns we have bean fight .ing for four years,- and done nothing. There was little done in the first two years, because that Napo leon of the Democratic party, Little Mae, had charge of tile army. They had Grant in the West, ana had a : different state of affairs; and a more damnable lie was never* told than to say that they had done nothing in four years. Those who say that we are fighting for the negro are" jealous be cause, free the negro and he Is equal to these men. Every man and every woman had some influence in the election, and ho hoped that all ‘would use that influence. He felt the end was not far distant when victory would crown our bullets in the army, and our ballots at home. - Ex-Governor Pollock, Wm. B. Mann, Esq., Thos.

The lower story was made into stores, of which there were to have been seven. The two upper stories were to have been used as halls for meeting purposes. The fronts were-of;preEsed brick, andthewhole was surmounted by. a handsome cornice. The: building was nearly completed. Some of Hie temporary uprights: whleh were to sustain the Orders for the' upper stories gave way, and the northern portion of the building fumbled-town. The front wall, down to the first story,- fell out Into Eighth street. The rear wall fell in, and a portion of the northern wall also came down: ; About one-hall of the building is in ruins, Had.the building.fallen during the . day, a number of lives would doubtless have been sacrificed. The building belonged to Wm. T. Reed, aud it will pro bably cost several thousand dollars to repair the damage. The Eighth-street Passenger Railway is 1 blocked up by debris, and the cars have to bo turned off on to Franklin Btreet, using the track of the Union Passenger Railway Company. _A, couple of policemen, who were standing at Eighth and Wood streets, heard bricks failing, and started to make an examination.
