Petroleum and its Marvels. 'VYHSKB AND HOW THB OIL IS OBTAINED—FORTUNES LOST AND WON. i Coirespondents of the Springfield Republican. ] Near the Oii Regions, Meadvillb, Pa., October, 1864. WEADVIUE AKD THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. As the oil business Is so original In its nature, and so little understood outside of the limited district hut.tvs as the “oil regions, sl I have thought per haps a brlet sketch of the process by which the light for half the world is obtained from the solid rock may not be uninteresting to your readers. But first 1 will give the location of Meadvllle and its connection with the oil district. This place has fcten for generations a quiet, sleepy borough, snugly ersccirceti in a pleasant valley surrounded by cultt -vated hills, in Crawford county, of which It is the efclre town. But the openicg of the Atlantic and Great ■Western Railway ana the discovery of oil have Infused a new element into the old burgh, till now it presents a singular combination of the old Dutch town and the New England village. Here are located the Allegheny College and Unitarian X'DlTersity, two ycung but thriving institutions, the first under the fostering care ol tho Methodist denomi nation. and the latter, as its name indicates, devoted to the interests of the Unitarians, These; with the Atlantic and Great Western Railway and the buildings and improvements connected therewith, constitute nearly all there is of Interest to tho stranger here. The Atlantic and Great Western Railway forms a very important link In the pro iosed broad-gauge route from New York to St. .otds, but as yet everything is new and half fin ished Jn its appearance throughout its entire length, only two permanent station-houses having been completed. The local business is conducted in the meantime as well as it can be in temporary rough, board buildings hastily elected, but Which are being replaced by elegant and convenient station-houses as fast as possible. One of the permanent depots already completed is at this place, and for con venience, neatness, and accommodation of the pub lic, is probably not excelled in this country. Oou necUd with this building, and forming a part of it, is the McHenry House, having its magnificent diningroom on the ground floor and opening direct ly from the passenger platform of the depot. This first class hotel is owned by the railway company, and is under the masegejnent of Mr. R, m. Tay lor, formerly a resident of Springfield, who is also superintendent of all the dining-rooms. Teal and prospective, throughout the whole length of the road. WHHHB THE OIL IS. Taking tho cots of the Erie Railway at Jersey City the smell of coal oil greets the olfaotory organs, and is thenceforward ever present. At Salamanca, on the Allegheny river, an Indian reservation, 414 miles from New Yorfc city, the Atlantic an« Great ’Western Railway forms a junction with tto Erie Railway. At Corry, 60 miles from Salamanca, the Atlantic and Great- Western Railway intersects and crosses the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, Which has a branch road called the Oil Creek Rail road, running to Titusville, 27 miles, on the eastern borders of the oil regions. Here at Corry is located an extensive coal oil refinery. From' Corry it Is 41 miles to JHendvJlie, from which place the Franklin Branch Railroad extends 28 miles to Franklin on the western borders of the “oil district” proper, although there are oil wells along this line several miles above Franklin- These two branch roads Srm the outlet by rail for the entire products of *i e oil wells of Pennsylvania. Oil City is a thriving place in the centre oJ the oil business, which has oeen created by the discovery Of Oil, And is Ofily reached from either FranUlin or Titusville by roads which, at most seasons, are so bad that walking is preferable to riding, except on horseback. At the freight depots, and on the cars along the road, we saw many portable steam engines, au on their way to the oil region, and much oi the time It has been impossible to obtain these machines fast enough to supply the demand. BOEING BOR OIL. The boring of an oil welt Is conducted as follows : Having procured a portable steam-engine, it is lo cated about forty feet from the point where the well is to be bored, and covered by a rough shanty. Over the proposed site of the well a oerrick is erected, which is a square frame about forty feet high, ana ptrhaps ten feet square at the base, and much less at the top, supporting a grooved wheel or pulley, and provided with a windlass and crank at the base. The crank of the engine is connected by a pitman rod to one end of an immerse wooden walking beam, which extencs to the derrick, and Is pivoted at its centre and frame some ten or twelve feet from the ground. All the operations of boring "and pumping are performed by the engine operating through this walking beam, and the first thing thai tells a stranger that ho is nearing the land of oil I s ! the universal derrick and board shanty con nected by the huge wooden timber balanced at Its centre, and when in operation slowly vibrating like the engine-beam of a steamboat. The word boring, which is universally used, conveys a very erroneous l it is barreled and shipped, The only substances resulting from the dißtilling are the naphtha and oil that pass off In a vapor, and a small amount of coke left lu the retort or still. Another part of this establishment is devoted to the manufacture of lubricating Qiig for machinery* Tor this purpose the crude on is first subjected to a suitable treatment to refine it, and then placed In a room which is a mammoth refrigerator, and in which the temperature is reduced to a very low de gree by salt and ice. This converts the oil into a thick fclush, In which condition It is placed in strong canvas bags and subjected to a powerful pressure, by which the oil is forced through the canvas, leaving a solid substance in the bag. This Bubstance is parrafine, and. when broken, separates into thtn flakes of a light brown color. The crude parrafine is tent to Bo£to&,where it Is refined to the pure white article of commerce. The whole establishment 1b constructed of brick and iron, and in every way rendered as nearly fire proof as possible. Two large steam boilers supply Steam to the pumps, and two inch steam pipes eon nect these boilers with every part of the works l*i €r ® * e a liability to fire. There are six fur ln a separate fire-proof room, a* of the retorts gave out when *?*£* 3 U » filling the furnace room T»th burning oil to the depth of several Inches The J« oxn 1 ? l mod J?: tel y d«Bed, and Ito steam iet In from the boilers through, a r«ii it was five hoars before the flamls were Steam Is the only thing of any ayaU it the more wamr is thrown on thl more J t he ‘ alem ” Jagfis J The great difference in the quality or the oil in the market is dne to the difference in the skill $ the mannfactnrers, and the time at which it Is ft ° m the still, as the last that comes over is k ® r than the first.

Every second man m this^eeuJ? 11 some interest In an oil well, and exSeeh^iJ^ 8 day something will tarn up to makelSin. *£SZ pendently rich. The story 1b told or a laho» r tad been at work by the day: in the oil rerfonsmi be had Bayed a few dollars. Some parties Ead b2m boring until, becoming discouraged, offered to sail *ut for $75, and the Taborer. h&ving abauf that amount, bought the claim and went to work, ana the first day,as good lack favored him, “struck lie,” and was as qulokly worth $25,000 or more. All such stories are retailed out to each visitor, but the scores of cases where thousands of dollars have been sunk in these deep holes are kept In the back ground. Hundreds of fortunes have been made by speculating In oil territory, and as many more, per haps, by operating the wells, but when it Is con sidered that It costs from fonr to six thousand dol lars on an average to bore a well, and In the best lo cations not more than one well in ten is suooesßful, it is evident that It is not just the pl&oe for a poor man to risk his all. Much has been said of shoddy aristocracy, but where they have made their hundreds.the petroleum aristocracy have made their thousands, and their attempts to put on airs are ridiculous in proportion to the rapidity with which the oil has flowed into their pockets or gullible persons have purchased their bogus oil stocks. The, at present, very com mon practice of making stock companies Is applied very extensively to the oil business, and any per son who Invests anything in an oil company, with out a personal acquaintance with the business, runs a good risk of sinking his money deeper than the bottom of the deepest oil wells. The following is the plan of making a company : A number of gen tlemen get together, and agree to form a company. Somebody is sent to Oil Creek to buy some land : it inav have oil or not; that is immaterial. It Is sufficient tbat they own 60 many acres on Oil Crack. The company is then formed, and the acres which cost them one hundred thousand dollars are turned in at a nominal value of five hundred thousand or a million of dollars, and stock Issued representing a capital of that amount. Part of that stock is dis posed of In a way that “will tell,” the remainder put into the hands of skilful brokers, and thus being thrown upon tho market. The original operators realize two or three hundred thousand dollars by the operation, and the new company is obliged to commence operations on tho land, and make some thins if they can. Private Individuals cannot buy land in the oil districts; it is all held by companies or the original farmers of the section. These own ers grant the privilege of boring a well for one half the oil that is obtained. Thus stock in a company owning land well located pays immensely, but that is not the stock that offered for sale much, and therefore inexperienced speculators should keep their eyes open tight. Sheridan's Victory over Early. [From the London Star, Sept. j « _ , The defeat of the Confederate army under Early, in the Shenandoah Valley, seriously affects the posi tion of Dee. Although full details of tho battle have not jet been received, it has apparently been of the most decisive character, one account giving the Confederate loss as 5,000 killed and wounded, 2.500 prisoners, and five cannon. The rebels are aiso said to have lost two generals. As Early’s foroe could scarcely have exceeded 30,000 men, his tosses, according to this computation, amount to ths fourth part of his army—a defeat so damaging as to be fairly styled an overwhelming disaster. The battle having lasted throughout the day the Federal loss must nave been also heavy, and G-en. Russell is mentioned as having been killed on their side, we doubt not the Confederates fought with all their usual bravery and desperation, knowing Tull well the importance of victory at this critical period of the < campaign, and when the prize was a position so j valuable to Dee as the Shenandoah Valley. Bat the result is only one among many recent Instances which prove that the superiority of generalship is now wholly with the Federals. There could not have been a fairer field for the display of military genius than that accorded to Early.. He was fight* ing on familiar ground. The wide valley of the Shenandoah was a splendid theatre for his opera tions ; his force was nearly equal to that of his op ponent, and, as the possession. of the supplies of the valley and the covering of the lines of communica tion at its head were all-important to the Confede rate cause, he had every inducement which a soldier could possibly have to wrest victory at all hazards. But he is defeated by a comparative stripling, a young general who was only hewing his way up ward with the sabre after Early’s name had been for many months familiar to Europe and America as a oorps commander. Dee’s lieutenants have not shone as commanders •of flying corps. Dongstreet’s attempt to recover Knoxville was a miserable failure, aud now Early has permitted himself to be outmanoeuvred and finally defeated by the youngest corps commander in the Federal army. Early’s mission to the Shenan doah Valley was evidently of supreme importance to Dee, or he would not, when so hardly pressed by Grant, have sent troops so far beyond hls reach. The reason for the first movement Mn that locality was clear enough. Early hurried to Dynchburg to drive off Hunter, who was making havoc with Dee’s communications at an Important point; and that officer, being compelled by a pressure which no general could resist, Occasioned oy want of supplies and scarcity of amuunition, retreated into west ern Virginia. This left the valley open, and Early made his dash into Maryland, both to pick up what spoil he could get, aud In the vain hope of forcing Grant to loose Ms hold of the southern bank nf the James, and retire precipitately to save the capital. But Grant is made of ateruer stuff. The raid having been accomplished, and a sufficient Northern force collected to make in vasion impossible, Early’s army have remained In the valley, either to retain it as a necessary base of supply, or with the view of imposing upon the North and its generals by pretending contempt for Grant's operations at Petersburg. We have too much respect for Dee as a general to believe he would waste his strength upon any mountebank perform ance, as the expedition would have been on the lat ter hypothesis, and assume that the possession Gf the valley was valuable for Its supplies,while Its occupa pation likewise defended Dynchburg far In the rear. The former advantage is now lost, because a retreat such as Early is now making after a bad defeat is very different lrom those strategic retreats which he and Sheridan have been feigning In-rotation. He has been driven from his position on the Opequan, compelled to abandon Winchester, and will proba bly not stop short of Richmond or Dynchburg. Viewed as part of the larger operations which have Richmond for their centre, this episode of the Shenandoah Valley would seem to prove that Dee has more than found hls match in Grant as a strate gist. He reinforced Early at an inauspicious mo ment for himself, as the immediate seizure of the Weldon Railroad by Grant abundantly proved ; and now. when he is believed to have been In the act of recalling a portion of Early’s.force to mass on Grant’s left with a view of recapturing the road, the Federal General suddenly launches his thun derbolt and 'shivers the detached army. Clearly Dee has taken little by his movements in the' Shenandoah, while.the victory comes most oppor tunely to swell in the North that strong outburst of war feeling which began with the taking of the Mo bile forts, and was stimulated by the capture of Atlanta. Hie First Steamer Seen in English Waters The following narrative Is communicated to the Glasgow 2Tere?d by ft veteran; In the month of July, 1815,1 was sitting on the poop of the Tre Crone a, a Danish 74, which Nelson had taken out of Copenhagen, but which our Government had forgotten to restore. She was a .large and roomy ship, and was used In our service aa a receiving hulk, on board of which the crews, of such ships as were In the dock 'The day was beautifully fine— which we sometimes have that there is really in nature •sr?-* 4 when fiYCrvthiTur .a--'"* Splendid, and the atmosphere E< , e ,_jL l ooTe to carry the vision any distance. All Was still on board the fleet, when Mr. Wodehouse suddenly exclaimed: “ Holloa! what’s that 1” and addressing the officer of the watch, said: “The boats of the fleet, sir, to rendezvous alongside of the flagship. Ship on fire, sir.fi All hands were Imme diately piped and the boats manned and despatched; and, as other ships had done the same, there was presently a flotilla around the Admiral’s ship. But what was all this row about? And the answer to the Inquiry was* “A ship on fire.” As we. looked towards Spithead, to which our attention was directed, a vessel was accordingly seen, apparently a 10-gun brig, from which a large, thick, and dark stream of smoke was emitted. There could be no doubt, therefore, that she was on fire, and the fleet of boats were held in readiness to hoard her when she got into the harbor—to scuttle her, if need be— and, at all events, to save the crew from the perils that awaited them. One thing, however, perplexed every onlooker. The burning brig kept on her course steadily, went round the fleet at Spibhead, and then coolly bore up for the harbor, where she presently made her ap pearance, puffing and blowing, but not burning. On she came, to the amazement or all who beheld her, and, having proceeded some way up the har bor, she returned, and very quietly anchored off the Hard. Hut what was this extraordinary vessel which sailed without sails, went right on against the wind and tide, and did as she listed with those elements which all men and ships had heretofore implicitly obeyed 1 Nobody could tell, for nobody had ever seen anything like her before. Jack, who has a tinge of superstition about him, said little, shook his head, chewed his quid, and looked won derfully wise, ior he, plainly, could not make her out “in no way whatsomever.” By-and-by the mysterious craft was boarded, and turned ont to be the steamboat Caledonia, from the Clyde, whleh had come round to show our neighbors at the south what could be done by northern heads and hands; and this little vessel, which was much smaller than our ordinary river boats, was the first steamboat ever seen in English waters. Ail incident of this kind was not likely to pass un- Eotlced—nor did it. On the following day every body west to see her, and everybody expressed their astonishment at her powers. But about 11A.M. there was a movement extraordinary on the waters. The Admiral’s barge, filled with ladies and gentle men, pulled alongside, who, after having satisfied their curiosity, went on board the Esk—a ship cor vette, commanded by Capt. Lord Napier, who was afterwards killed in China—where a military band awaited them, together with a large company of ex pectant visitants. The Caletionia’s steam was up. she took the Esk in tow, and, amid the cheers of crowds on shore and crowds on shipboard, she steamed bravely ont to Spithead, where she left her companion, and returned with what, in those days, seemed ~io be inconceivable speed, and took the En dymion, 44, Capt. Henry Hope, In hand, and, to the delight of a large body of spectators, dashed out of harbor with her burden as easy, apparently, as a grown man could carry an Infant. Thuß were the sailing and tugging powers of steamboats first de monstrated to English eyes by a. small Clyde steam boat, 47 years ago—a fact of which I was an eye witness, and which may yet come to have some his torical value. The Autograph Mania.—A valuable collection of 3,660 autographs, the property of the late General Radowitz, of Prussia* comprising celebrities of all nations during the l&Bt four hundred years, a print ed catalogue of which covers 240 pages, Is to be sold during the present month by public auction, In Berlin. Here are chircgraphical examples of a long range of historical characters from Zwin gle to AbC>el-K.ader, and from Andrea Dorla, one of the Doges of Genoa, to Gulseppe Gari baldi, whose moral Influence is a power to-day greater than that ever possessed by all the Doges combined. Here also are rich rarities to au tograph collectors, as letters of John Hues, A. D. 1416; Martin Luther, 1646; John Calvin and Phil lip Melancthon,' 1560; Desiderlus Erasmus, 1636; and a large number of the reformers, monarchs, di plomats, and generals of Europe, actionists ana re actionists, Bourbons, and Bonapartes in profusion, are here brought together by this Indefatigable chiffonier of history. The collection also includes many of our own dis tinguished public men, with the customary admix ture of mistakes incident to foreign handling of American subjects. Alex. Hamilton Is recorded &S one of the Presidents of the United States ; Martin Yan Buren only as one of the Ministers ;-and we have among the W’s, Webster David! A letter of Jefferßon to Humboldt is particularly noted for the remarkable enunciation, “That the lexmajoris partis Is the fundamental law of every society of individuals of equal rights, and that to consider the will of the sooiety announced by the majority of a single vote as sacred as If unanimous, is the first of all lesßons In importance, yet the last which Is thoroughly learnt.” This is a “ Virginian abstraction” which that other Jefferson—in name only—at Richmond, does not recognize, for did he not distinctly aver to Mr. Gilmore, the other day, that he should not abide by the will of the majority 1 Verily, the great apostle of Democracy would not recognize his pretended disciples to-day. Another Lake Disaster.— The cutter Winslow, built in 1862, by Winslow, at Buffalo, chartered last, fall by the Government, fitted out at Buffalo, and* on her first cruise as a revenue cutter, under com mand of Capt, Gttlnger, was wrecked on the east pier of Cleveland harbor on Saturday night. She carried a crew of 27 men, and one ten-pound rlfied gun. She left the harbor on the previous after noon, but, finding the lake rough, turned back. Xn entering the harbor she struck on the river bar, and in backing off bent the shoe on the after keel, so that the propeller could not be -worked, and was soon driven on the piers. In the effort to reach the piles, four men were drown ed. The rest reached and clung to the plleß, the sea breaking over them from half past nine until one o’clock, when they were gallantly rescued by Capt. McKay, Mate Robert McKay, and two wheelmen, of the oity of Cleveland. French Aggression.— The French have already picked a quarrel with the Columbia Government, with a view to the seizure of the Republic. It,ap pears that the French minister has made a formal demand on M. Murillo, the new Columbian Presi dent, for the punißhment of General Santa Coloma, the President of the State of Panama, for not sup pressing the mob by? which the French consul was lately Insulted there. The matter was referred to the Supreme Court, which decided that there was no oase against Gen. Santa Coloma. Baron Goury insisted on the matter being again referred to the codrt, which refused to alter its deol&lon. The Fiesch minister persists in his demand for prompt satisfaction, and it is not unlikely that the dispute’ will lead to the blockade and perhaps' seizure of Panama by the French. nreuBANCE.
