cm OF NEW YORK.
[Correspondence of The Press. 3
Aftor a cUnrmiug two*hburs'rUlc up the bay from
Amboy, wo reached Now York about seven o’clock
•in the evening, Those who bnyo lived in the metro,
polis understand its magnetic attraction and the
singular pleasure arid paia with whldli the r|uondam
Now Yorker plunges, after long absence, into that
wonderful whirlpool of life. .A soldier on the boat
said to us,: “This' is tho pleasantest trip I ever
made;” srisunderstanding him, we acknowledged
the beauty of jho.calni aumtner : s evening, and of
: that magnificent bay, upon whoso restless waiors'
ride the ships of every land. “Ob! d-u the
.day,” he replied, “it isn’t, that; r but Pm jus.t
getting home after three' years' in Yirginny.”
Who will hot say that as the oath was recorded tho .
•Angel of Mercy blotted it out with a tear? After all,
iit is more agreeable to hear a Union soldior swear
■ than a rebel pray. AYo api»reoiiitod the spirit.oftho
man’s exuberant joy, for after a year’s absence from
New York it was like meeting an old friend to sot
foot on Broadway, and lose oursolvcS at once In tho
immensity oi tlio vast capital..
, Standing on Trinity Church steeple the next day,
we heard the city roaring beneath' uslike a stormy
' gen, and when we remembered how from day to day,
from year to year, Uus inarticuiate voice porpetu
.-ally ascended to heaven, we could not help thinking
j>f Babel, and that City by the Sea whichPoc cursed
so finely in-his matchless verse.; There are few cities
at'once so glorious and so fetched - as’Hew York,’
Yet we know by experience that even In the midst
of this hubbub and turmoil one may live.as quietly
as if the wilderness of houses wore forest trees,
and Broadway a country lane..
incus.
/When I visit New York I am not content till X
have again s£gn the Five Points, So, as business;
carried ns atonce tothe neighborhood of Printing-
House Square, after it was ended we passed.through
Baxter street on our way to the St. Nicholas Hoteir
Hitherto it has been a strange pleasure to wander
through these abodes of filth, and vice, and misery,
hut on this quiet evening I was glad to emerge from
the/suffocating, nauseous streets into the more
splendid, mud of Broadway. Of old, I recollect, :
.my . interest' In the' Five Points overcame my
disgust, but now either my sense of smell is
nicerthanit.tised to. be or ray sympathy with
the. sufferings :of others' is greater. It is pain
ful.in the extreme to see so much misery, and to bo
unable to relieve it, .There were the same old
scenes; the.taU tenement houses, dirty and dark, the
women crowding the doors, and window's, bloated
with-liquor or pallid with .‘disease; the rhgged,
squalid children playing in the mire; tlio horrible
gin drinkers, hags who have lost almost the features
of humanity, haunting the doors of the ginshops;
tlie cunning faces of the low grog-shop keepers; the
bold harridans who snatekat the passers by from
their underground .dens; the stench, iho sickness,
the bruta.lity, the shamelessness, the despair, and
here- and' there some pale face whose patient look
tells of poverty, not vice, ami is of all these sad
things tkesaddest. There are hundreds in tkeFiye
Points who are chained. to the' pest-liouse by want
alone. These unfortunates are forced ,to endure
a companionship which is indescribably hideous, and
if they have children, to see their bodies and souls
poisoned day after day in the malignantatmosphere
which enshrouds the foul den like a fog. The chari
table ladies who labor in the Five Points have un
doubtedly great good; to Individuals, but it
seems to me that the aggregate of sin and wretch
edness remains unaltered, and that Baxtor street
&fid the adjacent alleys and courts arc as much like
Pandemonium to-day as they were when I first saw
them four y ears ago. / ;
mhl9-3m
Late in lUe evening:, urged by a curiosity which if
it was morbid was at least soon satisfied, we made ,
the tour of the concert saloons in Broadway. Here,
are plague spots worse than those of the Five
Points, and infinitely more disgraceful to the'go*
' yernmcntof the city. Broadway is literally rotten'
Liwith these' underground dens, and five or six of
be counted in a single block. The cellar-
SRyiy are invariably/ illuminated with brilliant
Rights, and the-interior of.the saloon itself is shut off
’from public view, by screens and- sometimes by
latticed : partitions.: Tim proprietors of these
places are generally of the lowest class of Ameri
cans',;: vulgar, self-possessed, .bestial, 'yet' with
smartness enough.to make their business profitable.
In the less degraded , saloons the- visitor’s watch
and pocket-book are tolerably safe, and an officer is
engaged to maintain order, bat. most of them are
really abandoned places. Tho visitor mast trust to
his own discretion for protection •, he will get none
chlate how much money; can beeoaxed or stolen
from him. and to what extent he is likely to yield to
their’attractions. . Ko violence need be feared in
these Broadway saloons: during tho evening; they
are too near to : the .streets for that. But, as nine
tenths of tho girls and many of'the visitors are
thievcsmnfl pickpockets, the adventurous country
youth should beware.of sudden friendships, :
Aspasins, with but one quality of Aspasia, these
pretty waiter; girls, as. they ate ironically. styled,
are usually as ugly as they. are degraded. In: the
nine or ten saloons which we visited in the hour
rashly dedicated to the Investigation of subter
ranean mysteries, we saw but one face that could he
/by courtesy called fair. The, ages of these young
Iprudcs range from fourteen to twenty-five, and at
I'least half of them belong to the.lowest classes of the
Irish. The queons of the saloons are invariably,
the bloated, rough-voiced, loud-laughing, and.
noisy lenders of vulgarity. The gentlemen who
patroni/.o these badly-gilded haunts of vice sceiu to
be charmed with . the lips which utter the loudest
oaths, and wc noticed in one saloon a groat, fat,
greasy, “pretty waiter girl,” entertaining half a
dozen men at once, while the quieter and compara
tively more genteel maidens were neglected. Itis
impossible, to . discover what pleasure even the
vicious can find in these cellars. The liquors are
notoriously unfit to drink, the cigars wretched, the
girls '-repulsive.': and ugly, the. floors covered, with
flirt, and the atmosphere vllo. Concert saloons
they are not, for the. music is the merest pretence,
_entirely subordinate to tho clink of glasses and tho
'Babel of conversation.
Excepting Broadway, the street of streets, New
York has no greater attraction than the Central.
Parle, ten years ago a barren desert, the stony mo
notony of which was interrupted only by heaps of
ashes,: wooden shanties, and ponds of stagnant wa
ter. “Now' it is a landscape ofelaborate beauty, the
finest park in America. However corrupt tho civic
government of Hew York may have boon, the Park
is proof that public virtue i 3 not a metropolitan
myth. I wbh that one. hundredth part of tho’en
ergy, liberality,'and wisdom which gave our sister
city this Eden had inspired the legislators of Phila
delphia. Eatrmount Park would then have been,
worthy of the city. Por it nature has done every
thing j art nothing. Of the Central Park the r e
verse is true. .
IYe have the sweet Schuylkill, a river not to he
laughed at, even by those who have seen tho blue
lushing of the arrowy Rhone, or the castlwrpwnbd
heights or the lihine. The hills, andslopes, and
woods; between which this quiet stream glides slow
ly, are charming bj day . and lovely by night.
What might hot ait enterprising Government have
done with the long stretch or undulating wooded
ground that borders this river, In Itself a treasure,;
which New York can only envy 1 Our Park is
beautiful, as far as nature has made It so, but our
civic pride is oflbndcd when we /behold; the royal
magnificence in which the metropolis has enthron
ed her pleasure gardens. There; no nook is ne
glected. Of the architectural beauty of the bridges
and pavilions, the exquisite loveliness of tho fair
lake, showy with swans, Turner might have made
. pictures us lovely-as the - “"Virginia Waters.” The
rate flowers and trees,: the. luxuriance of floral
beauty, the-close, winding walks, from which you
suddenly emerge upon broad, sunny spaces, the
statues, and..cascades, and curiosities, make the
Central Park regal. Wandering In this unfinished
Paradise (in live years it will ho a wonder), one re
alizes tho indifference of-Pld\adelphi-.uss to tho re
putation of their city, and the . little trouble they
take to make it interesting to strangers. It is no
credit to us that God created the Schuylkill, plant
ed trees upon its shores," and that we found, ready,
mndo, this lino Park, which wo spend little money
and less thought to improve- Pomtias.

■THE CAPTURE OP MONTE CP-ISTt HV THE RPA
MARDB—THE SPANISH COMMANDER WOIIXDISO,
[Correspondence of the New York Hoi-aUI.!
: : Havana, May 28,15G1,
Tho taking of Honte .Cristt by a foroo of nearly
eight thousand mon, assisted by tho guns of half a
doten war vcssels, was an event
ed; for it was not to be supposed that the Domini
cans possessed tho means of resisting so powerful a
combination. Moreover, tho insignificance oi tho
.place—an old decayed town, with scarcely a dozen :■
houses, or huts, rather—wasnot so greata prize as to ;
make one believe that the one side would make a vi
■ gorbus attempt to hold, or tlio: ofchor_uso any groat
effort to obtain it. Perhaps, also, the Spaniards
counted upon lamltng the o , x U® d ‘“°^ n^£ s i e n a >
and may have been surprised to iind thirteen
pieces of artillery and three thousand men in posi
lion to receive tlicm. However that may be,the
, expedition which left Santiago do Cuba on the 13th
proceeded very slowly towards Slonto Oristi. Oa
. tbe lTihj everything being ready for a nro
rivas opened on tho town, and in tho eourso or. tho
dav tho place, with all its armament, was captured.
The garrison must havemiido good its retreat, slnco
the despatches make no mention of prisoners- No
particulars have as yet Ifeon received, beyond the.
' fact that tho Spanish loss is set down' at about 100,
in killed and wounded, one ■of those latter being.
. tho Commander-in-chief, General Prime do Kivora.
The wounded general has forwarded a despatch to a ,:
friend or ids in Havana, stating that his . wound is
not serious; nevertheless, certain of my.neighbors, ■
who do not iovo the Spaniards as they do thom
solves, nfleet to boliove that the wound was mortal,
and that tlio general lias since died. This, of course,
Ido not for an instant believe: .
111 tho absence of farther details I can say nothing
more in relation to this affair. There is some eon-:
fusion in the dates, the first despatch stating that
the attack took place on tho 15th: biitthe Dtaro de
to Marine says it is Incorrect, and that the 17th i 8
the true date. 1 find it rather singular that nothing,
is said about tho Dominican loss in killod, wounded
and prisoners, indicating, as. I have already re
marked, that the garrison retired in good order,:

Oil and Oil Wells.
To the Eiilor of The Press: '
Sik : Will you allow mo to slate, for the Informa- =
tioh'of your inexperiencedreaders:
1. That the oil wells in Venango county, are ar
tesian wells, from four to five inches in diameter,
and are put down through layers of slate anil sand
stone, of different'thicknesses,, lying, in horizontal
Strath;' . - --V.v ,
2. That these wells'are put down hy pounding and
slowly pulverizing the rock, inch by inch, by a large,
heavy iron'arill, lilted by steam power and let tall '
about thirty inches at every stroke. At every two
or three feet bt progress the boring tools are taken
out, and the fine, pulverized borings brought up by
the sand-pump, a:three-inch tin tut* about eight
feet long, loaded with lead at the bottom, to make It
sink readily, and with an upward valve in the lower
end., This pump is (lifted ny and down a.few inehes
by hand, with a small cord; until it is fuU, when it is
withdrawn and emptied.: As soon astheholois.thus
cleaned out tho drill is again inserted, and thus tho
work progresses, sometimes several feet per day,
where the rook is soft, but frequently only a few
inches a day, on account of the extreme hardness of
some of tho layers of rock.
a. The largest veins, or oil are found at a depth of
five to six hundred feet below the surfaco.... To .bore,
a well to that depth, requires from four .to five
months of persevering labor; -though it could bo
done in.half that time, if a double set of hands bo
employed; and the work prosecuted all the-timo,
night and day; ’ but this .adds groatly to tho ex
'Toil companies that are working- nndevolopod
lands, or that are hoping for dividends from new.
wells, cannot expect to get oil in less time than
above stated, unless they are iwthe lubricatingro-.
e ion, and got heavy oil at the first sand rock, 280 I

deal with, and the boring cannot go more than so
fast, no matter how much monoyand machinery are
5. Therefore the holders of stock in eompanios that
are in good hands, and are being oporated in good -
faith, are very unwise to sacrifice their stock, or

mediately. The more sensible course would be to
take tho oil business according to its own IftWS, and
be governed accordingly.-- The Venango, oil basin'is
a very wide field,that is not yet one-tenth developed!
and as soon as there has boon sufficient time to got
the wells down, many a company, that Is now
doubted or traduced will prove to bo amongst the
host In the market. And when they begin to strike
oil, -nobody can toll in. advance which company is
likely to bo tlio best. , ,
That part of Oil Greek that has produced tho most
of llic largo flowing wells was known the first year
and a half as the ‘“dry diggings ’’ .because, as it af
terwards turned out, the wells had not been bored
half deep enough. I am part owner or a flowing:
well, still yielding, that has been now running for
two years and a half; y®t located it in an old
dry sandy buckwheat patch, with no wells near it,
nor any surface show, anclwo wentdown 460 feet
without any show or smell of oil or gas whatever }
but at 480 feet our patience anil porseverivnco wore
rewarded by a fountain vem that flmved 500 barrels

very decided. It closed at I$3K, which-is-s#below the

at 11 OK. : -There was'very little demand* for the Ba !of
