THE 17AVAL OPERAIIOK* BEFORE MOBILE.
TCorrespondence of the Washington Star. 1
L. S. Steamer J. P. Jackson, Mississippi
Sprxp, Feb. 15, —This vessel has heeu blockading
the-Mississippi Sound for the past eighteen monthsT
and yon can believe me when I tell yon this is one
of the most monotonous stations in the Gait
Squadron, cruising around the sound by day, and
blockading Horn Island Bass at night, where
veEEels from the different rivers emptying in the
sour, d would heve to pass oot to escape the block
ade. Retnrning to the s'ntion last night at the
Bass we met the gnnboats Sebago, Octorara, and
Calhonn coming dp the sound, the two former
boats of the new style, donble-enders and side
wheel. We of course were enrions to know their
business iff the sonnd, and soon learned sufficient
to suspect lhat the long-wisheo-for event was
about to take place—f. e., the attack upon Mobile
and its defences; and we were not long lelt in
doubt of the fact, for at daylight this morning we
espied six of the lamons mortar (bomb) schooners
outside, wailing to be piloted in the pass, which
duty was devolved upon us We eoou had them
all inside, and at 10 A. M. the fleet stood up the
sour d lor the rebel fort at Grant's Bass, and known
as Fort Grant. Arriving off Grant’s Pass, the
fleet anchored, the mortar schooners were soon
engaged briskly in sending down and housing top
masts, and dismantling themselves for action.
February 16—At dayligbt we were moving and
engaged in placing in position the three schooners
assigned to onr charge. By 9A. M. we had. them
placed In position. The other gnnboats and mor
tars were then in position. The hall'was opened
at 9.3 u A. M. by the flng-sbip of the fleet, the Oe
tarara firing the first shell, The mortars and gnn
boats following, we were soon sending compli
ments into the rebel fort in the shape ol 46-pbund
Sawyer rifle shells. The mortars being too fair ofi',
their shell all fell short of the mark. The'gun
boats drawing too much water ito get In nearer
without grounding, their shell mostlv fell short
Not eo with all the rebel shots, some of which dis
playedmost excellent practice of gnnneiy, whiz
zing around onr bow, then onr stern, and next
over our heads, and falling close alongside,
makir g one feel anything but comfortable. This
did not last long.- Our gunner soon got his range,
and after firing three. wild shots, the next
seven successive shots from onr rifle were deli
vered directly into the rebel fort It was a
gratifying and exciting sight when onr pro
jectiles exploded to see the sea shells (of which the
fort is constructed principstlly )andsand and timber
flying up in Lhe.air. At almost every shot we eli
cited the applause of the fleet, andiby 11.30 we.hod
the fort completely silenced. At 112.30 we ceased
firing to allow the men dinner, we having fired
forty-one shots-altogether, twenty-two of them
falling into the fort and exploding. There mnst
have been sad havoc among the rebel garrison, as
numbers were seen being carried away, apparently
dead or wounded, from their guns. After dinner,
the mortar boats made sail and stood np closer to
the rebel fort, and the whole fleet was soon engaged
with the rebs. After firing seven Bhots from oqr
rifle onr gun burst; not serionsly enough to injufe
any one, still utterly disabling the gun andxgader
in g ns with onr sm ooth-bere guns useless.
February 17—At daylight tnis morning we
found the weather so unfavorable for farther ope
rations, onr boiler leaking very serionsly, the senior
officer ordered ns to Ship Island to repair, where
we are now.

THE PETROLEUM REGION.
The Editor of the Oil City Reyijfer, in closing
the second volume of his weekly publication, thus
refers to the improvements which have taken
place in that vicinity within a short period:
«»It is now over two years since we first arrived
in Oil City, with onr_press and material, after a
tedious journey in mid-winter,over almost impas
sable roads, from Kit tanning to this place. Oil
City was then a town in the wilderness, consist
ing of little else than temporary board shanties.
The present immense Petroleum bnsines6 was
but fairly commencing. With the first issue *of
the Oil City Rcgizttr* our organized a
borough, and laid the foundation of the present
flourishing city. The contrast now and then is bo
great as to almost appear incredible. | In these two
short years the export ot Petroleum to foreign
countries has increased from about 7,u00,000 to
28,GC0,000 gallons. The home consumption has
increased in like ratio. Oil City now numbers
between four and five thousand inhabitants.
AloDg the valley of Oil Creek, for a distance ot
twelve miles, an almost continuous town
has sprung up as it by magic. We esti
mate the entire population of Oil City
and Oil Creek at from. 12.000 to 15,000, which is
daily increasing by fresh arrivals. Two railroads
tar ping the Oil Region have been built, and
Eevdal more are projected and under course of
completion totbispoint. The marinefleetengaged
in the oil trade, has averaged about 500 oil boats
and barges, besides some fifteen steamers. In a
busy season, even this immense means' of trans-.
portation has been found inadequate to the great
and growing Petroleom trade. There are now
seventy-six refineries in this collection district,
with ah average canacity of from ten to three hun
dred barrels per day, andmaoy more are building.
Blocks of stylish and substantial dwellings and
business houses now line our principal streets;
one church has been built, and two more are in
the course of construction, as well as a commo
dionstchool house. From one well has beenre
‘ ®V 780 we are authentically informed,
$1,000,000, during the past season.” »

Fihes in the Oil Region.—As we go to
press we learn that an extensive fire has oc
curred at the Maple Shade Well, on the Hyde
&.Egbert Farm,.some six miles above here.
The fire occurred' about Ihreo o’clock P M
and is supposed it caught from the JKeystone
Well, af ew rods above,. In .honing,the miners
struck a vein of gas and oil which-flowed di
rectly between: the tanks of the Maple Shade.
By some means, not as yet clearly ascertained’
this oil and gas caught fire, and in a few mo
ments the whole space around the well was en
velopod in flames. The flat for a distance of
eighty rods below was burned over. The loss,
as near as we can get it, will not exceed 12,000
barrels. Dilw-orth & Ewing and Haldeman
Co., are reported to have lost from twelve to
fifteen hundred barrels each. Several boats
were burned, and the upper end of the Story
Farm made a narrow escape. The value of
the oil, tanks, &.C., lbst, will be about $150,000.
The Maple Shade Well was still on fire up to
our latest advices, but it is thought it will be
.extinguished without serious to the well/
