To Im mire, dynaniica don't always denote, the presence of oil; hut mill I's appearance, particularly when permeated through the svnurai strata.

Mil and Coleraia towmhl' was thnroii;.'lily inpr"en-tcil with uiiMnMied herhara. I'n-tr itiiied hernara is cmi-r-idcresl Kneh a certain imlimttun of oil that it has frequently been ned lor hair oil After making the alnivc iliacuvcrics, I i nin menced a thorough Keoloeical survey of the ronntry in search ol oil indications, w hica I only completed two or three days ago. HiN surrey has thoroughly witiMiul me thai tnuui,!! oil exists in the bowels of ilatuilton county to furnish a hogshead of hair-oil to ovory ma-i, worn in, and child in the world, without in the k-m diminish ing the supply. Numerous i-L-ns, besides those first mentioned by me, have attracted my atten tion. I titid that the pala o.on: clam of the Intro nian series largely crops out ia the neighborhood of onr hog pen and distilleries. Thus we tind It nrcinsary to withhold from publication the lit of tneu drafted in the Second Ward, else they wou d oil their locomotive organs, nnd slip Inui Canada. Then the mcso.oic strumitis purpura was every where apparent to tho scientific eye. The mesi.r.oic stroinbiis purpura is a varioty of the calceola. both of these vermin indicate tint, if oil ia not to be found in the immediate neighbor hood, it can be procured ai the nearest drag stoic And, from a simpler course of reasoning than uny of the foregoing, we arrive at the conclusion that Hamilton county Is an oil region. Look at the number of "oily" citizens here In Cincinnati. Likewise stip Into any well-regulated drug storo, barber-shop, private family, or restaurant, anil you will find oil in the greatest nhundanco. All Mint's abound. There is enstoroil, and sweet oil, and hair oil, and coal oil, and goose oil. Oil is a good thing to grease boots with, and to cat on lettuce. I don't like it on lettuce, however. To my taste there is uoihing better to cat on lettuce than a littlo good, sharp vinegar, with a mild sprinkling of pepper and salt. Terhnps my rcpiigtiaiico to oil, from a culirmry stand-point, Is owing to the fabu lous amount that was forced down rav juvenile throat by our well-meaning, hut deluded, hired girl. Of course she acted tinder orders from headquarters. Tho regular d se was two tablo spoonsful twolve times per day. If I should chance to sneeze before going to be J, a goose qnill, saturated with oil, was at once Introduced Into each nostril. There Is nothing like having careful treatment when you are young ! Thus, It will be seen that Hamilton county is an oil region. Science says so; I say so. If it wasn't an oil region, why would traphoa bclem nites oo.c out of the ground, whenever you rake tip a little dirt in search of anglo-worms i Traphou belemnitcs mean oil, and nothing else. Where you tind truphon belemnitcs you llnd oil, and where you rind oil you tind tiaphou bolcmnitos. That was Hugh Miller's experience, and it has been mine. And whut is going to be the result of this won derful state of things ? Why, it's going to make every human being in Ilatuilton county as rich as grease can make thein. C reeve In her palmiest days was nothing in comparison to what Hamil ton county is destined to lie. Paupers will be an article entirely unknown hero in a short time, and the Relief Union will throw up his commis mission and resign in disgust. Of course I hare given several of mv particular friends, in tlitien-nt parts of the county, hints tonching these oil dis coveries, and they are already beginning to profit thereby. The beginning or this end is not far distant. Soon the oil Outer, assisted by science, will be at work, and "Greate. her knee in stiiiiancc beat, ' Will UeuiMe ut tils power." A couple of weeks nco, Mr. Job Dobbs, of Colerain township, planted a hogshead of oil on his farm, and in about twenty-four hours after wards commenced boring tor oil with the hap piest results. Day before yesterday he sold tho farm which contained twenty acres to a New York firm lor live hundred thousand dollars. Tho farm, betore the oil discovery, was valued ut one dollar and a half per acre. Mr. Dobbs has now leased an adjoining sheep pasture, and has put down two hogsheads and one barrel of the best quality of neat's foot oil, and will commence boring again in a short time, lie says there M no reason why neat's foot oil shouldn't be pumped as well as coal oil. He has already been oflavrl a fabulous price for his pasture, but he decided to hold on to it a spell longer. Several oilier e.iterpriaing farmers, in various parts of the county, are putiingdown oil. I would advise ull Mich t i u e leaky barrels, as by so doing the oil will escape, and appear in dillerent localities at the tame time, thus greatly enhancing the value of their tarnis. In Cilcrain township, where tho first lucky boring was done, a omp my his baeu formed to prosecate the boring busmen" rith proper energy. Its officers are : President Job I)nMi.

Tub Sinks in Flohiua There are agencies working gradual. y but su' p-antiallr to under mine the constitution of Florida, the rich south ernmost peninsula of the Confederacy, more effectually than "secession." Alarmists might vt n hold that if the civil war should last many years longer, tho ultimate lata of the devoted State will eea-e to be a mere political question. The most dnnEeroui enemies of the soil of Florida are what lis inhabitants call '-sinks." Those ab' sorptions ot the earth, thorn u ou a small scale, are. in fact, so numerous th it one may almost ask : Is Floiida slipping bitwecntho fingers of both F'ederals and Confederates ? und will she liimatcly like those high mountains of the Andes durinir thn eurtb'iuiiUc of Chi'i in K'l'i vanish entirely from the sniface of the earth ? All over the country I found, when in U ut linking state, sinks of all sizes, forms, and ages. Some are slight, s:'tic r-ld.e depressions, others, still dceoer. like basins, of from tweutv to eighty yards ucios-s ; or uuiy uneven slopes and hollows, which would pass iin.iotiicd wereouc not ii.formed that the lunu jui tnero uaa ueeu "linking" since such a time; or that an old in habitant remembered a dead level where, now, there are various dells crowded with vegetation. Semetimes and these are the most remarkable the sinks are round and even, like wells, which, Indeed, one might suppose tin in to be, so regular and perpendicular are their walls. Some of these are formed suddenly, during or after heavy rains, and are the result of one storm. They are sunk perhaps iu uu boar, lu a night, THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRArn.

Tbu property alocated on a beaatii'sl bluff, admirably adapted to boring. There are stx wells finished and In progress. One well, which had been yielding ehoat forty barit-ls dully, had suddenly Increased loone hundred and forty barrels, and waa flowing nt about ttia rate oa our viilt. Another well, represented aa yield. ng seveoty flve barren, was pumping at the ruta of eighty to ninety barrels, and tlie Intelligent superintendent and lessee wan anguine in the expectation that In a ahurt time It xouldl become flowing well, and give a much larger yield. Those two welts are but a few weeks old, and have every Indication of becoming very large wella. t hree other well! aro In process of boring, and will M finished on or before the first of January; and from tag Indications, we believe they will all be largely productive.
