VKKT AKCIBHT WELLS-—HAS AN EXTINCT BACK BYBB PROSPECTED 808 OIL?—WHO i'iKST DIS COVKKBD Oth—A MAt raOH ITS EABLY HIS- A contemporary publishes some strange foots concerning discoveries made at the Blnkingof the first oil-wells In our State which are very curious, if true. The first oil-well In our State was struok August 28th, 1869. The first vein was struck at a depth of sixty-nine feet four tnohoß. During the examination whieh preceded the sinking of this well, some extraordinary discoveries were made, which, it is believed, have never before been alluded to in print. Numerous pit# were found, distributed all along Oil Creek, of the following character: The pits were from fifteen to twenty feet In depth and from five to eight feet in diameter, and carefully walled around their sides with jointed wooden beams, which the petroleum in the soil had com pletely preserved from decay. It was evident at once-that this joiner work could not have been done by Indians. Inquiry among the Oornplanter Indi ans, tei the vicinity, developed the foot that a tradi tion existed in the tribe to the effect that another and a different race had long ago inhabited the soil and dug these pits for the oil that even yet collected In them. This raise may be identified With that sup posed to have built the Western mounds. . ' This race seems to have had a good deal more Of what Boosters call “gumption” than the salt hunters who, forty years ago, explored Westmore land county .for oil. They labored Industriously, but they struck a dark, offensively-smelling sub stance, and gave up their work-in disgust. Subse quently the construction of the State canal covered up the wells, but the oil continued to oose up and Sow off., At the present time, when petroleum is all the rage, these abandoned wells have been hunted up again, and the land has beoome Valuable for Its flowing wells. While speaking of these early evidences of the jOll wealth ot our State, It Is well to know who It was that first applied the oil to any use, and thus developed it, and added to the weal til of our Slate. The Pittsburg Commercial, ia. examining into the subject, says that about this year 1649 Mr, S. M. Kler, or that city, discovered oil coming up from one ot his salt wells near Tarentum, on the Allegheny river. After a time it accumu lated lit the receiving tank to suoh an extent: as to be troublesome; and not knowing what nse to moke of it, he let it run away. Oil was discovered about the same time coming up from another salt well (Mr. Peterson’s) in the same nelghborbood. About six-months after the discovery Mr. Kler conceived the idea of putting it np as a medicine, and to pre vent competition, purchased also the oil Irom- Mr. Peterson’s well for five years. Some of the oil was then disposed of, but Mr. K. found, In the course apf a few months, that he oonld not thus use aU the oils the wells were producing, and did not know what to do with the surplos. He sent a portion of it to Pblladelphla to Prof Booth to have It analyzed, in hopes of finding some other use for it. The result of the analysis was a suggestion that It would make a splendid illuminating oil, If a suitable lamp were made for it, . Mr. Kler put up a small refinery," had lamps made by two mechanics of this city, and the " result was that a cheap and admirable illuminator was found. The wells did not yield sufficiently to meet the demand; and ready sale was made of all the' product, from 1869 to 1855. In 1854 Messrs. Evelett.& Blseell made their discovery- In 1869 the firm sent" out Captain Drake, who bored the. Brat well. Before commencing his operations, Mr, Drake west to Mr. Kler’s wells on the Allegheny, examined them and hired a blacksmith, who was - then working for Mr. Kler, to so and bore for Mm, The result is well known, Mr. Drake “struck oil” at about TO feet, from whieh dateß the great oil excitement of the day. But it may not be known that Mr. Kler bought the first oil that oame from Mr. Drake’s well and refined It at his refinery. From these facts It would seem that Mr. Kler; of-our own good Commonwealth, prompted and assisted by Prof. Booth; also of our State refined and used refined petroleum, as an illuminator, for four or five years before the first well was sunk on Oil Creek, : Thb Effect CombikatiosS oh Dbb’s | Akmt.—Sherman's march towards Virginia, and 1 the operations of Sheridan In the Valley are doing as much aB Grant’s left, at Hatcher's Bun, to ren der General Lee’s tenure of Petersburg very Inse cure. Ills supplies are beginning to grow less In quantity every day, and, in order to husband them, everybody that can possibly be spared Is sent ont of Petersburg and Blohmond, The refugees from these plpees say that the oars are orowded with people going to Danville and Dynchburg, which are scarcely safer than the places left. Indeed, as our despatches this morning, from Giant’s army, state, there are already rumors of the oapture of Lynchburg. They maybe premature, but sure It is that Sheridan will very soon menace this hey to Dee's last railroad, with no Early to op pose him, but only such troops as Dee can 4nre to spare. With the railroads In dally danger of being out, and a large part of the field of supplies out off by the movements of Sherman, every method Is adopted by the rebels to keep Dee's armypthelr last stay, provided with the commonest necessaries of life, and at the same time prevent, by payment of eleven months’ back dues, Its depletion by con stant desertion. But the field for taxation Is also cut by Sherman, and the people of a part of Vir ginia’and of North Carolina and Sooth Carolina o*v raiw vr" to sunnort the rebel Government, until, as it is hoped, loattviritory ts recovorod by om e extraordinary dash from I.eeor .TohnsiuQ. The Secretary of the Treasury has Inaugurated the plan/ The people of the sections just menrionedare to con tribute to the Government whatever they can, money or food. Their only reward la to be the conscious, ness that they have served the Confederacy. The Blohmond papers of the eth speak of the response to the fcecretary’s wish In Danville and Charlotte with terms ol much enthusiasm, and say the same spirit Is manifested throughout the whole country, 1. e., parts of three States. The residents of the towns and the country around contributed bacon, barrels of flour, &0., In great profusion. Concern ing the contributions of money, the Blohmond Ex aminer says: 10-40. “Extremely liberal subscriptions have also been made of Confederate bonds, sliver plate, commissary supplies; and other commodities of like value. The striking feature of these donations Is, that they are absolute gifts to the cause, for which the Govern ment is not required to account In the fnture.” It Is readily seen that If Bee’s army Is to depend on snch a source as the Intermittent contributions of a scattered people for Its very life, Its stay In Petersburg or Blchihond will be short and uncertain. rbbbl desbbteke—how thb piokbt hubs jtzbt —THE BEBUIBa IK THB BBBBt, AKJfT. 'Special Correspondence of The Press-1 A week or so ago we left our homes for the army, and arrived In this camp night before last. Among the privations that we have been compelled to un dergo Is the want of The Press, whioh has not yet made its appearance heresinoe onr arrival. The line we occupy extends from the Appomattox to the James river, running across the peninsula formed by the junction of the two rivers, , The line Is well fortified with forts, pits, and abattls, and strongly picketed and guarded. The enemy’s lines are about 100 yards from ours, and In some places 20 yards only separate the pickets. As a general thing, hls pickets behave themselves, hut nightly firing takes plaae along the line. Opposite each regiment de serters are continually coming in, which draws the fire of the enemy. They are oarerul, however, to shoot high, seeming studiously to avoid hitting the deserters. The hardihood of the opposing foroes Is exemplified by the fact that In the morning they get out on the parapets and crow like chanticleers. The 14th "Virginia (rebel) Beglment has nearly all come over, and the “boys” taunt the “rebs” by asking when the colonel will oome, Bast night six deser ters came in, and gave themselves up. One day last week, whilst the “ rebs” and our men used a spring of water between the two lines, a rebel came over and went down Into the rayine where the spring was located, and met one of our men. He told our man that, he would like to come over, but that, If he i attempted It, he would be fired npon. our man gave him bis overcoat, and the two walked leisurely out of the ravine and soon reaobOd the trenches. The rebs waited for the “ Johnny ” to come up from "the spring, but he did not appear, and.then they went in searoh ofhim. The trick was soon dis covered, which at once put an end to the truce, and the ravine became hostile ground. The night of the 16th, when the rebs attacked the picket line of the 104th P, V., their officers in vain endeavored to force their men upon onr lines. They erled out It was or no use. "Where we are now, the bullets occasionally come over the works into the camp. J. H. B. Soldier’s Families. To the Editor of The Press : - Sib : I was most pleasantly surprised the other day, on receiving, from Dr. Jansen, complimentary tickets, to attend a “ reunion of misses at hls Na tatorlum and Physical Institute, for the benefit of the families of soldiers, under the care of ‘City Pastor-’” Being an entire stranger to the Doctor and hls pupils, except as they had heard of my humble. work through The Press, I felt doubly igrateful. for this benevolent act, so encouraging to myself,' and tending so much to relieve the suffering fami lies of our brave fighting men. I attended the entertainment this (Thursday) afternoon,-and con fess to a second agreeable surprise at j what I saw. So nimbly, so flexibly, so lively, so grade hilly, so harmoniously were the movements of that large elasß of young misses performed that I was vividly reminded of fairy tales and fairy scenes of boyhood days, and wished myself there again. Yiew- Ing the scene from a moral as well as a, physical stand-point, we were unable to detect anything un becoming the delicacy and refinement of the sex, or ineonslstentwlth the teachings of pure Christianity. 1 speak simply of what I saw ; and thopgh edu cated in the old rigid school of ethics, with strong prejudices against some systems of physical educa tion, I cannot refrain from speaking In terms of the highest commendation Of this system <;of physi cal culture, which it was my pleasure to witness. In the name of onr Buffering soldiers’ families, permit me, sir, to say to the Dootor and hls happy pupils, “ many, many thanks.” And may I not hops that this may be but the beginning of better days and better things for the families of those brave men who are fighting our battles!

The Dwelling Caves or Hew York. A SIBUXABIX SOCIAI CONDITION TWBNTV -IHVB THOUSAND PSBSONS IN CAVBB. Twenty-five thousand bodies and souls are im mured in the cellar tenements of New York city. Denied the light of heaven and tha breezes of earth, absorbing through their pores the humid miasms, and receiving into their lungs the foul gases that perpetually exude from feculent soil above and arounu them, these wretched beings endure a slow ; but sure process of deoay. They may he said to suffer physical and moral decomposition while yat alive; and especially. is tills true of the children, ■ whereof from fifty to seventy per cent, perish during Infancy. Those who survive become a prey to va- j rious maladies, more or less acute or ohrontc, ac cording to the duration of suffering to which they may be doomed in their underground prison-houses. Ana the children are but more fragile typeß of their puny genitors; wilted leaves from the blighted stems which they call their parents, those-wretched men and women whose cadaverous frames are mil dewed in life by their grave like surroundings. The cellar population dwells under Influences as certain, if not so swift, to produce death as is the at mosphere of a stagnant marsh. The gases which escape from soil drainage and sewerage are actively destructive to animal life. The sewerage of New : York, ss of othercitles, Is made np of kitchen offal, street washings, factory dregs, putrid animal and vegetable garbage, excrementltloua collections and waste water. The mass is quickly decomposed, and evolves Its fool gases, whether it he stagnant or in motion. The constituents of sewer emanations are carbonic add gas, sulphurated hydrogen, and ammontaoal gas; and all those are fatal In their aotion on living bodies. Dr. Barker, experimenting with them in London, hung a cage containing a mouse within' three inches of a cess-pool; the animal perished in less than five, days. Dogs ex posed to sewer emanations were attacked with di arrhoea, febrile symptoms, thirst and vomiting. A puppy subjected to breathe sir Impregnated with ‘ scarcely two per cent, of sulphurated hydrogen died In two minutes and a half. The ammonia or sewage Is a volatile fluid, much lighter than common air. It escapes item the decomposed impurities, and, rlßlsg on the atmosphere, conveys putrefaction to great distances. It is dangerously subtle, entering the lungs, liquefying the blood, and Inducing a re ceptivity of the system for typhoid and other forms of fever. lf Ammonia, 11 remarks Dr. Letherby, “is the purveyor of the miasms of infected districts.” ' The “ organic vapor” of sewer gases is described by this chemist as “matter in a state of active decom position t” and he tells ns that, when acting on a living “animal body,” It Is “productive of the most terrible consequences.” Even when much di luted by atmospheric air, the sewer gases are viru lent poisons to the human economy; and when the habitants of cellars are constantly exposed to them they sink rapidly, under successive symptoms of their presence. “The appetite falls, the bowels be* come disturbed,” and the sufferer, “worn out by exhaustion,” falls into low fever and soon succumbs to its ravages. “Even when not directly poisoned by the continued inhalation of a corrupt atmo sphere, always charged with these gaseous forces,” says Dr. John Bell, of Philadelphia, “ the people thus exposed have their vital energies so much re- ■ duced that a Blight change In ordinary conditions of the atmosphere, or a diminution of accustomed food, serves as a spark to ignite into febrile fire their weakened and susceptible frames.” Such atmospheric peril Is the ever present con comitant of cellar-life. Our troglodytes, continually inbreathing and absorbing the toxical particles of diseased matter Which pervade their dwellings, be come themselves depositories of Infectious venom, that may at any moment he liberated on the wings of ammonia, to take Bubstanoe In some local pesti lence. The three-fold monster of filth, malaria, and disease, which lies colled in every den beneath our pavements, Is worse than any fabled dragon; more voracious than any Minotaur of classic story, whioh was satisfied with a stated yearly tribute of human lives. Our sacrifices to it are reckoned not by hun dreds but by thousands. The waste of infant life In basements and cellars is enormous. There the still-bcm are multiplied. Cellars are the very holes in onr Moloch statue Into which we thrust the children of the poor. _ ' But perhaps death is a mercy to offspring which, when bom into life, must be born into an Inheri tance of misery. The children of our cave-dwellers, Inhaling with their earliest breath the zymotic virus engendered by underground emanations, become. almost certain victims of croup, eholera-infqntura, erysipelas, whooping-cough, scarlatina, thrash, or measles One quarter oi these wretohed little ones never reach the second year of their poisoned exist ence ; more than a third die before the fifth year; less than halt arrive at twenty ydars of age. An army of deadly enemies encamped about the mo ther’s womb, in the forms of malaria, starvation, intemperance, and vile humors, attacks each child at its birth, and assaults thereafter every hour of its being, till death or some humanitarian mira cle releases it from thraldom. The aymotics—those infinite shapes of disease Inseparable from the cel lar In which the child opens its eyes—will assuredly torture its infancy, if they do not at once out short the brittle thread of life. And even If manhood be reached, its term cannot prove a healthy one. Cachexy and sotofola will generally cling to a syßtem vitiated by early disorders; abscess and. ulcer will often lurk latently In ears and nasal or gans, and that dreadful affliction, ophthalmia, In vading Bight, will become manifest soon In Its too common ana repulsive features. Amid sunless abysses ol the Mammoth Cave, la Kentucky, a naturalist discovers fishes without eyes, the darkness of those subterrene deeps forcing the visual organs, if they ever exist, to oonform to the results of disuse, and become txlinet, because unnecessary... Troglodytes, in past ages, have al ways been feeble ,in right. Persons dwelling ha bitually in dark chambers, miners accustomed to toll at the bottom of-ahalta In the earth, and prison ers confined for years in gloom; dungeons, grow in capable of distinguishing objects at mid-day, and, like bats and moles, require Bhadow or' darkness for the exercise of vision. In like manner our cellar-dwellers, living In obscure abodes, become Bobjeet to diseases of the eye, and transmit a sus ceptibility to blindness, what other result oan we look for, when hundreds of our dwelling-oaves , are similar to one reported: by a health tnspeotor, m located in Sixteenth street, where at mid-day it ♦ ‘ FOUR CENTS.

Influences that beset their lives in cellars, basements, and pentrnp dotes, dominated By dark nets and atmosphered with miasmata % mt until knowledge and philanthropy unite to uneatth the horrible secrets of onr city’s soolal evils, net till a wise investment of capital-slt&II provide remedies for the enormities which gangrene under our gloss of superficial prosperity, will New York perform Its duty to all classes of the community. And the very first monstrosity to eradicate is that social abysm, the nwßtiiKo-oAvn, wherein human rents, as WMI .SB bodies, become leprous with dirt, envenomed with ntslarla,and blind with darkness.—if. Y, Tribune'. Tfinc Fishing Season at JfßWiroiJNDz.Airo.—ln Newieandland preparations are going en for the seal fishery, and experienced sealing masters con sider the prospect good. The herring fishery has not been successful, one reason being that many thousand barrels were hauled ffir the French daring the autumn.

To the Konev Editor of The Pres*; Sis: With yoar permission I would like to tall the attention of the coal ell companies* hanking institutions, and all other corporations existing in this city, to the fact that the Commissioner of Internal Bevtnue has lately decided that "an assignment of stcch made hy the owner which passea the title to the pnrchaier, whether made upon the hooks of the corpo ration or npon the certificate, Is subject to a stamp duty of fire (6) cents. 11 , Mo general publicity hayingheen given to the above decision, the corporations. ln const qnence, have failed to comply with the law in this respect, the failure of whichmakes the transfer invalid. Very respectfully, JOHN W. TBAZIEB, - Bevenne Stamp Inspector for Philadelphia and Backs county. Anew, well was struck on Slippery Bock Creek on Monday last, above and adjoining the lands of the Jer sey Well Oil Company, which, it is said, will yield from fifty to one hundred barrelsper day. The Smith. * Col lins well le now yielding one hundred barrelsper day, and increasing. _ . The London Kmc* of Feb. S 3 says of .the market ftw onr stocks in Germany: The advices from Frankfort mention that the Bourse in that city has become the emporium for the business In American bonds, and that oiders are pouring in from all parte, so that the dealings are almost ’ every week on as Increasing scale. The peace rumors sent the price np to 66, more than seven per cent above Sew York Quotations, while the lailuie of the negotia tions was so far counteracted by numerous orders from Berlin, Vienna, and Southern Germany,'that, after a fall to 62)4. there was an Immediate recovery to 548- The best securities of other hinds are parted .with to enable investments to he made in these bonds, and it is remarked: ‘ ■ Should the war continue for another year and the Union prove unequal to the burden It will then have to bear, a desolation Will come on this country which no Trench war, even the most unhappy, coaid have brought about. 1 ’ Large amounts of fresh stock have come in by the Inst .steamers, and more are dally expected; hut the effect on the market, it is thought, will he very small, as the speculation is supported hy the low rate for money. The holders of the seven and three- tenth notes of July 17,1661, hnrdlyrequireto be again reminded that the power of converting them Into six per cent, bonds ceases on the 16th tost, t but It may not be without, use to quote the treasury circular giving the requisite three months’ notice, which reads thus: Treasury DKi’ARTKKnx. Dec. 10,1865. Notice it hereby given of the readiness of this Depart ment to redeem, on presentation, by payment inlawful money or by conversion into bonds, as authorised by law, the three-years treasury notes, bearing interest at tberaieof seven and three-tenths per oentnrn, leaned under the act of July 17.1861. Interest will tease on all such treasury notes not so presented .after three months from this datb, at which time the right of con version ceases. Holden thereof- will govjrn them selves accordingly. _ Wc Pi tBSOBNDBN, Secretary of the Treasury.
