Jews, the favored nation of the Almighty,
again and again resisted his saered laws,
and were again and again e haltised for
their rebellious acts. The scheme of sal
vation under our holy religion is based - on
repentaneei . When God 'forgives the re
pentant sinner,- shall not man . forgive his
repentant fellow -man? • - Let us 'not be
too exacting. •. Let, us remember ; that we

"To err,'_

' The people often rebelled against' Jelio-,
vah'i• but JehOvaishimself forgave . the re-
Pentant sinners: This is the . lesSow -of

nesSfor oui' offences; we roust forgive.
If theie miguided men, who have taken
up armsegninst the best government ev

the gOodness and power of the nation in

lof this rebellion, if paidoned, ' will not go

bear the inirden of the conscious guilt,the
reproacheSi of those they have blighted,
-and made Widows - and orphans anti caus

thousands who feel that rebellion is not

'I As apreface, however, it may • be only
reasonable to cite some lacceunts of Ithe
mpetroleum Wells of the old world. :Flow
g wells Of petroleum. a. greenish colOred
.carbon oil, have existed for Centuries on
I the borders of the. Caspian Sea at Bakn,
I in Persia, and at Rangoon on the I:lit:Od
dly, in Burma!). At this last- place AiVer
five hundred. wells are said. to exist, - and
An English writer states that the annual
,yield has been 4 hundred; thousand htits
heads. In many other localities 'Bl :ill
' quantities have been found, and .43 tea
burned for lighting purposes, as in , Gr ece
and Italy, but that of India alone has ever
-entered into , commerce, f a small quinfity
having been broughtto England for a tew
, years past.; There- is, therefore, , no rens-
I on to doubt that it is a mineral product
'
too extensively'distributed, and too • p'er-
I nument where it was been known,to witsx
I away after a few years drainage. The Ja
n cleat springs of it areas permanent as 'are
the supplies of salt water, Sulphur water,
or other mineral. fluids. If the oil wells:
of Indialiave nothcen found to fail in the
• !Miff' history of that most ancient part' of
earth, we may reasonably infer that what
, Li:Tr-yield these fountains giid will Also
bepernianent.
' I Rock oil has flowed to the snrf'ace! at
Many places in the United States, and ;the
Indian tribes held greati celebrations
around the fountains of Oir•Creek• lOtig
ago. The quantity coming to the Sur
f:Nee Was not large enough for conitnereial
pfirposes„ however, and some enterprising
persona began, - in 1854, preparations !for
getting -it in greater quantity:. In .(the
stint:tier of 1850, Col. Dral - ,c, at Titusville,
struck the firstveln - by boring, at a - depth
of seventy feet. Immediately after this
discovery the-business became a ra.•.;a in
the valley of Oil Creek, told parties -pros
,
Teeted it and its tributaries int \re:tango
county and hi acijadent - parts of Crawford
arid I;rarren counties as vi,goronsly las
prospecting for gold. was ever carried on.
ISuccess generally rewarded their I ef ,
forts, and I)efore the next year, 1800, .had
passed, hundreds of wells had been bored,
*Om which moderate qhantities • •ofloil
were' raised by pumping. The composi
t hilt and uses. of the oil- being nearly- Wen
tieal'with the coal oil,. •which had , btint
to be made so largely from the Cannel and
other soft coals, it tv-as very; easily • pre
pared for market. Xuell •of it • would
barn very well in lamps With Out refining,
arid When refined the products • were - ' a
pt ire carbon oil,' benzoli, parafline,• and
other well known commercial product S—
. production was therefore unmedi.te
lyl useful and valuable' next, it . Was. _im
portant to know in what quantity It Nvas
coming.- • -
' ' It is -not easy to say what quantity was
"raised" in'lB6o and 18E1, so muchliting
sold for local use. It took' .several roads
tol distant markets, principally, bowev i er,
0o ter-the Sunbury and Erie Road to- Erie,
and the NeW -York -Railroads - eastward.
The next great quantity. Was floated down
the Allegheny River; a , portion - of , this.
coming to Philadelpitia. Perhaps 25,600
barrels were sent to outside: markets j in
1860, and five times this quantity in 1861.
Inl August, 1861, the flowine• wells were
first struck on Oil Creek, arid the product,
'op was enormously increased) 'Wells
now yield whatever • amount is desired,
and are closed. by stop cocks Whim all•the
vats are full and all orders supplied. 1
-A good authority, Mr, Hiekok; has just
.stated that these flowing wells yield when
aliewed to run, 100, 500, 1000,1500, and, ,
intone case,the Entpire:Well, 3000 .blits: l

since there tiff as on hand in the oil region
