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<?ea of the process of making an oil well, which is
not boring in any sense, but drilling. First a cast
iron pipe about five inches in diameter is driven into
The ground, one length following another till the
bottom of the lower length strikes solid rock. The
earth is removed from the interior of this pipe* and
then commences the labor of making the well by
drilling into the rock. A drill about three inchos In
diameter and three feet long is attached to the end
of a rope, and the rope is attached to the end of the
walking beam, which vibrates up and down, and
the drilling is done by the weiuht of the drill alone.
By the time au excavation is made as far aB the solid
rock, the hole will have more or less water in it, so
that the drilling is performed entirely under water.
The drill is connected with the rope by a huge link
called a jar, which allows the drill to strike with
its full weight, when drawn up and dropped by
the motion of the walking beam. After drilling
awhile, the pulverized rock and water form a mix
ture which must be removed. This is done by the
sand pump, which is a copper tube about five feet
Jorg and a little smaller than the drill, having its
bottom closed by a valve opening upwards and In
wards. This instrument is attached to the walking
beam by a rope the same as the drill, and-set in
motion. At each blow the bottom of the tube strikes
down into the sand and water, and a quantity of the
mixture passes into the tube, and by this continued
churning the tube is filled, and then drawn out bv
means of a rope passing over the pulley at the top
of the derrick. Having cleaned out the sand, the
driU Is again attached to the beam, and the drilling
resumed. As the drill can only be turned in the
hole by turning the rope at the top of the ground, it
is impossible to drill a hole very nearly round, and
it is therefore necessary to drill a second time with
a kind of drill called a reamer, and operated the
same as the first.
APTBR STIRRING OIL.
Supposing that the well is successful, and t; strikes
lie 1 ’ in a moderate quantity, then a wrought-iron
pipe, provided with a valve at the bottom, like the
lower valve of a pump, is inserted and run down
the Whole depth, one length being connected to
another by screw joints, thus forming a continuous
pipe from 300 to 800 feet long. A metallic pump
boX, covered with leather, is attached to a wooden
rod and inserted into the pipe, one length of rod
being connected to another by screw joints, until a
length is produced sufficient to carry the box nearly
to the bottom of the pipe. This forms a pump, and
—Avif uf-tne walking-beam, what
ever is in the pipe Is pumped out. But it will bo
seen that, as the well In its downward course pro
bably passes through many streams of water, which
is heavier than oil, nothing but water would be
pumped ont. To obviate this, we have the never
falling “seed bag,” without which the
aristocracy would look-in vain fo«-princely
dividends. The “seed h*-**’*- Jl3 made of leather
and filled with <UM««ed. This is put around the
pipe at such place as is deemed proper, and crowded
down with the pipe. As this seed becomes swelled
by the water, it forme a water-tight packing be
tween the pipe and rock, thus separating the oil
lie low from the water above. In all pumping wells
tie substance discharged is a mixture of oil and
water accompanied by more or less pis. Therefore
tie top cf the pipe Is generally attached to the bot
tom ot a hogshead, having a head as well as bot
tom. From about the middle of the hogshead on
one side a pipe extends to a tank at some distance
from the well, and from the top of the hogshead
another pipe runs to the furnace of the boiler of the
engine Now as the mixture of the water, oil, and
gas Is raised into the hogshead th€ water and oil
flow off into the tank and the gas rising Into the
top of the hogshead passes off through the upper
pipe to the furnace, where it serves as fuel with
which to generate steam. In some cases the flow
of gas is so great ihat It Is nearly sufficient to run
the ensine. Thus far this description has been con
fined to pumping wells, i. e., such as do not furnish
-oil in sufficient abundance to cause It to flow of Its
own accord.
THE FLOWING WELLS.
The pumping veils were discovered some three
or lour years ago, but soon afterwards very rich,
flowing veils were discovered, which, produced oil
in such abundance that it was impossible to provide
receptacles to contain it, and therefore the price of
oil at the wells was merely nominal, several barrels
of oil being given Jor one empty barrel. This, of
course, ruined the pumping wells ; but as the uses
of oil have multiplied, and but few flowing - wells
have been discovered, the price has risen, till now
The pumping wells are again being put in operation.
One advantage of the pumping wellsites in the fact
that the oil obtained from them. Is much heavier
than that from the flowing wells, being in some
cases worth double the price per barrel. In the
flowing wells the only product is gas and oil with
out watej, and the gas is allowed to escape freely.
The oil. as it comes from the well, is a dlrty*looking
greenish, viscid fluid, varying in thickness in the
different wells, and at present In price from $lO to
$2O per barrel.
THE REPINING PROCESS.
All the oil as It comes from the wells is Impure,
and is known as crude oil. This must be refined
before it is suitable for use. These refineries are
very numerous in a small way, consisting of merely
a stone*hut connected with an adjacent board shanty
by a trough, the whole surrounded by a few oil bar
rels. as the said shanty invariably has “no admit*
tance ” over the door, I win not attempt to describe
the internal arrangement, but, instead thereof, will
attempt a brief description of the extensive refinery
at Corry, aB explained to us by the gentlemanly
superintendent, MrrSmith. This establishment is
known as the Downer refinery, and is owned by par
ties in Boston, who manufactured oil from ooal pre
vious to the discovery of the oil wells, and Is pro
bably the most perfeot refinery ever constructed.
The crude oil, as it 1b received from the welts, is
stored In Immense vats under ground, from which
it is _ taken by rotary steam pumps and conveyed
in pipes to different parts of the works. The first
operation is distilling, in which the oil is placed in
receivers over a coal fire, and the vapor carried off
to a worm, where it is condensed and then drawn
off. That which first comes off is the light oil, and
is called naphtha. There is no dividing line between
naphtha and oil, but ■when the operator thinks it Is
heavy enough he shuts off the naphtha and Qalls it
oil. The oil thus obtained by distilling is further
purified by a course of treatment that also to some
extent deodorizes it. The oil is conveyed from one
operation to another by pumps, the conveylngpipes
beirg provided with suitable valves by means of
which one set of pumps are enabled to take oil from
any part of the works and convey It to any other
part to which it is necessary that It should be car
ried, thus avoiding, to a great degree, the danger
-from Are. Lastly, itjs carried to iron tanks in the
barrclicg room, wL7n> 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

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.
