A meeting of tbe producers of tba 1Kb DiBttlot. was held at tbe Grant A Wilson C lub Room, last evening, which was quite largely attended. Oo motion, F. J- Keffer waa elected chairman of tbe meeting. Tbe chairman in a few words stated the orjeots of tbe meeting to be an expression of the views of the producers in legard to tbe sbuttiog down of pumping wells for the ensuing forty dare, and invited those pres ent to give tbeli idess on the subject. Mr. L. P. Walker said, that as Chairman of tbe Distriol Committee, be had been re quested to call this meeting by the Presir dent of the Producers' Vnlon, and that be would like to bear from all present Tbe chairman stated that as an Individu al be was opposed to signing any further pledge. For one be bad already signed several documents, the agreements contain ed In which bed never been fulfilled, aod be was not prepared to vote for or against tbe proposition to shut down until be waa fully satisfied the producers were acting in good leltb. Capt. Powers agreed with tbe chairman, and thought tbe lower district had not act ed squarely towards tbe Creek producers In the matter of suspension of drilling for six months. Mr. Walker stated ibat be conld not abut down bis wells without damaging them beyond repair, still be stood ready to do anything that lay In bis power tor tbe gen eral gotd oi tile region. Some further remarks were made by dif; lereot producers, after which tbe meeting adjourned until further was heard from the lower region. Mk. Editor: However producers me; diller as to tbe proper thing to do, when all agree that something must be done, there cao be no difference of opinion as to tbe need for organizing. . By remaining in our pres- eut helpless condiiion, we only Invite the cupidity of combinations against us. Tbe very moment we show a lull square front, a capacity to act as a unit, tbe battle Is gain ed. With the P. P.

In our last we men- tioned that Messrs Ribighinr aod Brake were about testing Iwo new wells, and we learn tbe one to tbe north of the Lancaster and Co., well, near tbe burned well, is not in a very flourishing oooditlon. Tbe one to tbe west, however, Is pronounced as yielding 40 barrels a day. Tbe Dew well of Hyde aod Co., to the east of the Temper ance well, is drilling; and to the south-west McGiil A Co , aod Anderson, Porter A Co , are busy with rigs. liaydi n and Jooea well No. 2, towards the north part of tbe La oi be territory, Is pumping, and produces about 15 barrels a day. The Curyell well upon tbe Thomasf and Co., sub-division, has been delayed for want of water, but it is ex pected to be down this week. Keoaedy and Jeffrey are building a rig for their No. 8, between Nob, 6 and 7, opposite tbe new rig of Col. Shoemaker; Lawson aod Co.. will commence diilllng tbe Is tier at once. Br tbe way, the new well of Lawson. Graoge & Co., is a good one; and also the 'Dough-boy" near by. A. aud S. Keith are busy with Col. Shoemaker's now wel' to the east or "Old Hickory" ana "Iron Duke;" and tbe rig to tbe south of the latter well is nearly ready lor the same owner. L Tbe Heseey and Cralse well, and F. Smith, Dunlop and Policy well, upon the Webster territory, are being tested and yield liberally. Tbe new well of Garner and Co., is nearly completed, witb a good show; while tbe Lougbeed and Co., and F. Smith, Wright aod Co. wells, on tbe Web ster farm, are drilling. McMillan well, on tbe Graham farm, north of Martbaville Is being tested yield 15 barrels. The Western Co., are busy going over tbe old district, giving It a thorough test; and it is expected Ibat enough good wella will be secured to more than beat all expen ses in tbn venture.

After the etiquette of tbe occasion was over, tbe Mauoue Utes showed us what was tbeir pleasiog custom whenever a good and glossy scalp fell into their bands, by dancing a scalp dance, shouting, screaming, drum ming aod yelling, wbile an old and haggard and wrinkled squaw kept Ibe old bucks to tbeir work by joining in the breakdown and working assiduously in the semi-religious observance. It was all a weird aud strange and unusual sight, and the dirt aod tbe creepers and tbe stolid Indifference it tbe average Indians disappeared entirely from tbe mind, and in their place came up very uoploasant imaginings of very lively shin ning around that pack of ferocious, and yet very tame byeaos Iito loose npon you. They used up all the breath and power and muscle they bad, passed in review again, and went off crooning some very unmusical air, and all waa quiet. It la not strange in these degenerate days to bear ol men having snakes in tbeir boots, but the snake whiob troubled a Kentucklan, the other day, was in tbe lining of bis coat. Upoo cutting tbe lining bis anakesbip two leet long slipped out and was killed. One man who' witnessed tbe exit of the enake from tbe coat turned nine even-handed som ersaults.

The most lalalipoint ol Attack, and tbe one for which it seems all contend) d, was tbe ligament which joined tbe main body witb tbe bead. This vital member once seized the powerful nippers, death sucoeeded without a struggle, and tbe victor was ready and eager for an other engagement. No undue advantage was taken by either party; and no two would endeavor to over power a single one; not was there any flinch log or wavering in a single instanoe, lor whenever two billlgerents met It was eertaio death to one or both parties. The battle lasted two nights and a day, and only end ed with the annihilation or one of tba coo tending armies. There was a alight differ ence to tbe appearanoe of the contestants, one set being perfectly black witb a large bead, wbile tbe other was nearly brown witb a smaller bead, though botb about equally matched In size aod strength.
