THE PIONEER OF PETROLIA, The litrurville herald vindicates the title of Col. Drake, to be regarded as the true leader In the development of the oil territory. We quote one paragraph : Bo far iug organising the first company is conoerned, we believe that Dr. Brewer and his friend, Mr:Crosby, took the in itiative,. being aided in that proceeding by their friends Eveleth and Blazon of New York. That was called, if we are correctly informed. the Bock Oil Comps. ny, and the next company that sprung op wax the Seneca Ott Company, of New Nivea, which took a lease from the for Dr. Brewer was then residing here, being one of the Arm of Brewer, Watson & Co., extensively engaged in the morcantlle and lumbering Wiinesar It was on the Watson data, near their saw mills, that the Seneca oil was found orating the soil, and collected in vats and depreasions of thesorface. Nothing hid been done by either company in the way of development till Col. Drake came on the weds, as an agent of the latter This statement Is literally correct. We know something of the facts. Masai Eveleth & Binsel. during the summer and autumn of 1858, were making an effort, in New York, personally and through a broker in Jounces , Court, to dispose of a contract, which they held from the Titus ville lumbering firm, covering the entire "Seneca oil" interest, in a tracker land belonging to that iinn,iind on both sides of the creek, which was Mated to. be about 8,000 acres in extent,. That con tract reserved a royalty of Oise-tenth to the lumber fine. Messrs. E &B. offered to Uvula it to the writer of these pars- . graphs for a bonus of $2,500. For vari ous Tenons the speculation did not seem inviting, bat through the persis tence of this broker, who was also an esteemed friend, the writer was induced to visit the territory. It was early in Dosetnber, 1858, that the tedious journey by way of Elie; and over hunt ble roads, was made by the adventurous party, to wit : the writer of this, the bro ker, and a prafessional German geologist, of the Dousterrrivel pattern. We spent four days on the creek, saw abundant evidences of the existence of an oil depo sit of some sort in the earth,' but settled upon the wrong theory as to Me accessi bility, and—declined the investment. If there should be any surplus after the Drake Testimonial Fund Is completed, it would be well enough to turn over the balance for the benefit of the sharp specu lator who would' t buy en tight thousand acre title in the heart of Petrolia for only $2,100. Either give him that surplus, or a few aboii to bey him a fool's cap. HIE CaWalt . ENLARGPIENT HUM By the canal, from Erie to the Ohio at Rochester, the dhtanoe is thirty-six miles, with one hundred and forty-two locks. The Meadville feeder Is twenty-seven miles in length. This canal admits a draught of three feet, giving an average toed of sixty tons" o etch boat. The CS pease of enlarging the canal and feeder is estimated at, $4,000,000, exclusive of the cost of improving the river naviga tion above Beaver, my $2,000,000 more. The bonded. debtor the present canal, about $1,000,000, which is principally owned by Mr. Reed, of Erie, must be added to this estimate of cost, Silica It seems to be understood that the fall ex tent of• that lien would be Insisted upon by the owner.. Upon this point, we may remark that this gentleman is stated to be the owner of fourtem-Afteenths of these bonds. It is also said that the entire cost of his in vestment did not exceed one third of their face. value. It Is alas whispered, in very close corners, that what our neighbor of the Commarcial calls a ring.—and that public-spirited and most disinterested journal is well known to be down very savagely on all rings—has been organized and alms at the absorption of these bonds, althea: par value, in the new canal en. largement under the protection and gnar 'Jaya of the Commonwealth. We have even heard it whispenal,—from leaky ves sels in that ring, and from one or two very empty 'vessels which are outside, end • ore ready to be Ailed with the •• oat virtuous indignation,—that the om nibus iced of aspiring but played-ont politicians and hungryjobbers, who have been sunning the Pittsburgh Oonssarcial upantheirown pecnlls: line for some years pest; Includes the head centresof Ws beau. tithllittle arrangement. If those whispers tell the truth, that ring expects to humbug the public, akin the State treasury and line their own pockets with a half million or so efproAts on these bonds. We hark Ain yet heard to what extent, if any, the present nominal owner participates in the plan. - Probably not toe vtry conrpticn. ous extent, since be would otherwise profit so largely, in the increased value of MN extensive real property at Erie. That alone would seemto promise his Giir 'hare under the proposed enlargement.

Waal! take the moreshi carepleuttre In exonerating them from any suspicions in the premises, since It Is only in that way that we cm perceive the remotest, possibility for the early un dertaking of a really much needed im provement. But, in considering the feasibility. of &Wiproposed enlargement, great caution Must be exercised. A writer is the Erie Peasylatefes presents detailed estimates of the receipts and expediters* of the en. hard - canal on' the bails of $7,000,000 cost, and insists very plausibly that the wink — would -malt In an annual deli. cieney of More thin $lOO,OOO. Wti"Copy the oonchialon of his ; very interesting iXennienieation: It is fair to presume that the canal amid no secure the entire tonnage for the raison that met of it ts local to the rallroada by which It is now trans ported; and from the fact that if we esti. snits the &rungs distance of transports. non to be seventy-Ave miles, ate met of transportation by boat of 62g Gents per ton; and add the tolls o f be ends per ton, la squat to 111,12); per ton. equivalent to I,,tie per ton per mile for railrosd trans. portion, at which rats the business is now dons by the rellroads.

In my own judgment, Mr. Editor, the whole scheme of the canal enlargement is a bigger snake than ever yet presented itself to the rings of the Legislature. SIX or Eight Millions of Dollars at one haul from the State far surpasses any thing yet undertaken by any ring, yet I believe It will be accomplished 'to far as securing the State bonds if not the -en largement. RICH MEN Are they a blessing or a curse? Is it really a vice to be rich? Are industry, energy and economy, or indolence, inac tivity and improvidence deserving of praise? Is it, Indeed, wrong to exercise the acquisitive principle of our natures and provide for the day of adversity, en large our powers of growth and extend our means of usefulness as some politi cians, lecturers and preacherswould have us believe Are civilization and intelli gence superior to barbarism and [gno• ranee? Are the increased means of hap ' pines' and culture desirable? Would it be well to give up our - railroad% our splendid steamers, our elegant edifices, our works of art, our - instruments of science, all our manufactories, and return to the state of the original inhabitants of our land? Such would be the inevitable result of the teachings of some of om divines If followed out. Rich men are their texts or their sermons, whatever may their testa. They and the un scrupulous politicians and the disappoin ted and envious men are ever ready to denounce riches and their possessors.. To accumulate they falsely assume to be wrong. To be rich, in their opinion, is to be dishonest. Poverty with , them is a cardinal virtue. Rich men are convicted criminals, still .at large—the pests of society, of which it should be rid. With them, it would appear, laziness and prodigality and a perseverance. This is a cheap way of acquiring a certain kind of popularity. It costs nothing but words. These lecturers ander:eskers aro not remarkable for generosity. They • have no unusual dispositions to relieve suffering, and if they had, they have not the means with which to do it. To pre vent others from acquiring the means with which to develop the powers of na ture, and advance society and bless the world In the true tendency of their popu lar appeals to the prejudices of the un fortunate, indolent, or vicious poor. Their influence is to array the poor against the rich and to create a hatred which sometimes results in the destruc- lion of property and life. To their eyes a rich man is an attractive rash for their arrows of envy and hate. They even think they are doing God service in this way, Jest as Paul was blinded in perse cuting the Christians,—tha Puritans, in persecuting the Quakers and Baptista. A man has a perfect right to the re wards of his labors and aelfnaeziftcx a. If be shrewd and energetic the profit is his. If he is lazy and Indolent the penalty Is his. Neither do we know any limi t to this reward:or penalty, great wealth on one hand or extrisine suffering on the other. If henestlf acquired the possession of wealth ' s iio sin or wrong. In the manner of acquiring and disposing of it lies the innnocence or guilt, and against these wrong methods should the crusade be waged. All rich men are not ail. lains any more than are all lecturers, pol. Weans, or preacheia, although from the orations before us and the recent lectures and sermons, we 'should think the mittens believe this to be the case. Bays Emerson, "the pulpit and the press have many common places denouncibg tho thirst for wealth, but If men should take these moralists at their word, and intro off aiming to be rich, the mor alists would rush to rekindle at ail hau -1 ards this love of power in the people, lest civilization should be undone. Ages derive a culture from the wealth of Ro man Caesars, Leo Leath', Magnificent Binge of France, Grand Dates of Tus can, Dukes of Devonshire, Townleys, Vernon,. and Pees, in England. It is the interest of all men, that there should be Vaticans and Louvres fall of noble works of art, British Museums and French Gardens of Planta, Philadelphia Academies of Natural History, Bodle ian, Ambrosias), Royal, Congressional Libraries.

Both classes are needed, and each is dependent on the other; and he is Ignorant, thought. less or wicked wbo would incite opposi tion in either class against the other ari. renew the omatentions and the bloodshed, examples of which history ie full. In their opposition, they would cut ca the hand that feeds them, or kill the hen that lays the golden egg, forgetting their de "pehdence on this same Wibtised wealthy class to Whom they ever appeal to Carry forward the pent benevolent enterprises of the day—the class who are now more them ever giving such illustrious exam ples of generosity. When public speak en assume to tell rich men just how mach and where they Shall give, they speak blindly, not - knowing or mime to know their cares, perplexities or ernbar mounts. If they had their way, they would deprive the benevolent rich man of all power to accumulate largely and consequently give largely. - Strip them of their wealth, and they might be able merely to acquire a daily Intishibuice. 1 These possessors of wealth must de . ..

We present such details of the late life of the great Secretary, and of-his dying hours, as we find most Interesting in our Washington advice& Since Mr. Stanton's retirement from the War office his health has been coo- Meetly in a very precarious condition,' and he has suffered greatly from a compli cation of diseases, resulting almost entirely • from overwork. By careful attention and entire rest from all labor his health of late began to Improve, until Dr. Barnes enter ttlned some hopes of an unlimate reeov ery. On Tuesday, December 14, he sud denly became worse, and was compelled to remain altogether in his room, lying most of til6 time on a lounge, but perfect ly able to walk for a few minutes at a time. 20 serious result from this pros ' tratlon was entertained, at least at pre sent. Soon - after twelve o'clock last night another change, for the worst, took place, and it then became apparent that his hours were numbered, and his life soon liven slowly to ebb away; and "a three &clock this morning the heart had ceased to teat, and Mr. Stanton was no more. Until two o'clocklie was perfect ly conscious and hble to answer all guts tions pnt to him. After that hour his strength, forsook him, and no word pass ed his lips, although Dr. Barnes believes that he undenstoad every word said by those around his bedside. • Mr. Stanton was perfectly aware that he was on his dying bed, and spoke of it in the cooleet manner possible to his family. At his request the Rev. Dr. Starkey was called and administered the Episcopal services as his end approached. Another account says: While none believed that his death would occur BO 8008, it has been known to his most fa miliar friends that his health was failing fast, and that unless some unexpected change for the better could be produced ho would not survive many mouths. During the delay attendfng the resigns tion of Mr. Justice Grier from the Supreme Bench, and after Mr. Stanton was men- Boned as a successor, biz health was stated to be improving. Indeed it wee noticed that the severe case of asthma with which he had suffered for so many years was abating, and his health was getting better, although not wholly with out concern. It is said that he has not had an uninterrupted night's sleep for several years on account of his trouble- SOOlO and painful malady. Since he was relieved from the trying duties of the War Department, Mr. Stanton has at tempted but little • business. It was his desire to fully recover, or at least to prove his health by rest and regular hab its, before entering again upon the prac• lice of his profession. He was not, however, permitted to discard business entirely, and be attended to such as his health would permit., The last time he appeared in Court was before Justice Swayne in Chambers, on the fith, 10th :and 11th days of this present month, in a patent case. since his return in the fall from the seaside, whither he went in search of relief, he has remained in doors almost constantly. Lured by a genial day, he was driven out in a close car riage, but all exertions seemed unavail ing. The last time he was from the housei was on Sunday, the 12th inst., when be drove t.q. - the Executive Mansion and paid lr a respects to the President. Since then he has bemi unable to see visitors, except in rare in stances. On the following Sunday, as is well known, the President and Vice President called at the house of Mr. Stanton, and the President personally tendered the appointment of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, which was accepted in the hope that his health might admit of his performing the duties on the first of February. The tact need not be concealed that Mr. Stanton so long and so.faithfally served the public that his means were almost wholly exhausted, and the salary of the Judgeship would have been of material assistance to him, since he was no longer able to follow his profession and argue cues: His intellect was bright and active to the last, and his interest in public affairs was strong and abiding. Two days ago a marked change was observed in Mr. Stanton's condition, and his case was closely watched by his physi cian. He spent some time with him In the early hours of la/teeming, and while he manifested the great anxiety he re. trained from tamping his fear to the family. At about twelve o'clock the patient became suddenly worse. The ac don of the heart became irregular, and congestion rapidly followed. He became unconscious and died, as before stated, at three o'clock. Still another report states: For some years he had been afflicted with asthma, 'which, to a certain extent impaired his activity, though it did not touch his pow er of mind. Last summer he visited New England hoping to recruit his health amid the mountains. The climate of the interior was not good fur him, and he subsequently became the guest of Hon. Samuel Hooper at a 'amide plans MIT Cape Cod. A month of ocean breezes helped him, and be returned to Washington with his health considerably improve& The toils and anxieties of six yews had, : however, undermined his constitution and for the last eight or ten weeks hi; friends have lived between the hope of die and the fear of death. At time he was able to be about his business, for a few days, and at other Use he bad been closely confined to his bed and.roout. Three weeks ago yesterday, and to-day, he argued a case before the Supreme Court. Since the 14th he hu not left his home. Last Sunday be kept his bed till afternoon, but happened to be up when the President and Vice Peed. dent called in the evening to tender him a place on the So. prone bench. He thought himself im proving then, and modestly expressed the hope and desire that he might render the country some further service. He was edit° see his trim& who tilled daring e last three days to congratulate him on his:Well deserved appointment and man nee-of this promotion, and the circus. stances attendant upon his confirmation were undoubtedly a great source of pleas. ore and satisfaction, and be lived !mg enough W see that the nation washeartily grateful for his labors in its beimig and then, like Lincoln, was struck down in the boar of victory. His condition last night was much such as it had been for a fortnight, and no unusual anxiety or fears were felt on his acootint. The family were mused about one o'clock this morn. Mg to find that the disease had taken a new and alarming turn. Stirgem General Barnes was at once called, but could do Hubs for his relief, and he rapidly fell sway from life, dying about three o'clock. It 'was remarkableekbat after the heart had ceased beating, the brain seemed to be still alive for 901110 time, and was, In fact, the last to elle. -The funeral of Mr. Blanton will probe. bly take place on Tuesday next, and the highest possible military honors will be paid to him on the occasion. The body will be interred in Ou Hill Cemetery, Georgetown. The journals devote large space to te marks upon. the character and personal record Of the deceased. We quota s. few - The N. Y. Times says: Hardly less worthy of eulogy than hla energy in organizing, raising, equipping and forwarding to the field our armies, was his prompt disbandment of them when pence had come. Before the dole: fel complaints of ill-boding prophets had wholly passed their lips, Stanton waved back the armies to whence they came. It Is still a great marvel, aliobst a great mystery in the history of the country,— that spectacle of a millioneoldiers melt. Ong noiselessly back into the great body of the nation, as the inow.drift melte in Spring. • _ The Cincinnati Commercial says : Of his integrity there never wan a shadow of doubt. Whatever opinion men may have entertained of, him, no man accused, or would havedared to accuse Mr. Stanton of using his high office for personal ends. Without large means when, be entered public life, he retired from It even poorer, but with the eatisfaction of feeling Uinta° bribe had passed through his hands, and that all that tie had, however small the sum,had been honestly earned. FM mini however, were exposed to mote powerful temptations, and fewer have so success fully resisted them. In this respect Mr. Stanton wild hold eft:lace in history by the sble,of the elder Cato, as nn example of incorruptible virtue in the early days of 'the Republic, with a will as unyielding, • marmer u blunt and domineering, and an executive capacity and intellectual power far surpassing those of the Roman The Chicago Tribune says: Illustrative if the whole souled energy of Stanton's patriotism, was his reply to a delegation of the friends of Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, who called upon him to urge that. ha should make some oyertures to Curtin to secure his wont hearty support of Lincoln in the Roaddential 'contest of 1864. Itwasrep nmented that Pennsylvania wan doubtful; that Cu tin's strength might turn the tide one way or the other; that Curtin, him self, however, was soured and despon- dent, and that he was peculiarly hostile to Stanton, and needed to be placated. The deleg ation had drat visited Mr. Lin coln, who knew that Stanton held Cur tin In strong personal disrespect. Bald Mr. Lincoln, "I don't believe Stanton can conscientiously do much to please Conic!, and I don't feel like asking him to, but' you had better nee Stanton." Upon explaining their wishes to Mr. Stanton, he replied,,"Tell Governor Car lin if it will help carry Pennsylvania for Lincoln, I will lie down, and let him Walk over my body." • , HELP NATURE.
