A traveling correspondent of tlio Washington Chronicle docs the oil re gions of West Virginia, in the follow ing style. Writing from Catlettsburg, under dale of October 20th, he says: I arrived here a few days since, "after having visited a portion of the oil re gions of West Virginia. To do that 1 returned on the JJaltitnore and Ohio rai'road, a distance of twenty-two miles from I'arkeishurg, and stopped nt Pe troleum, whero I met an old friend in the person of Colonel Van II. liuckcy, who is agent of the west Virginia Trans porutiou Company at that point. Tho Colonel is a young man, who entered the army as a private at the breaking out of the rebellion, and rose through t'je different grads until! he was giv en the command of his regiment, aud received from the hands of General Phil. Sheridan, on tho field of Win chester, the eagle which designated his rank. In his company I rode horse back up Oil Creek Run about three miles.aud saw the works of the company ho represents. The whole region is a forest of derricks, and the clang of machinery echoes throtitrli the hills ns it drives the pumps, whose nrms can be seen for miles around, drawing the ole aginous fluid from "the bcwels of the harmless earth." As this is drawn forth it is conveyed through miles of iron pipe ttnd emptied into reservoirs or vuts, whence it is pumped by steam power into the tanks on the cars set ting on the railroad truck, and carried to tiny point desired. This oil is the only artiulo the company transports, and its mode of doing so has been brought to an almost complete system. The miles of pipes have been laid, at largo expense, under ground, and are caunected with each well. For con veying the oil frotn its sotirco to the railroad track an agreed amount is paid by the individual or company working it, and thus the name of "Transportation Company" lias been taken by tho corporation working it. Lying away back among tho hills, aliout two miles from the engine which runs this work, sits the oil center, known as tho White Oak Region, aud in its center lies Volcano. On ascenJiug the top of tho hill by the regular wagon road there appears within sight a legion of tall ecatfold ings, surrounding the wells which dot the hills all around, the appearance beintr a perfect amphitheater crowded by a hive of busy workmen. The place contains a population of about three thousand, and has some large stores, a post office, telegraph station, and a newspaper, published weekly, this organ of public opinion is a sprightly sheet, well patronized with advertising, and is entitled The Volcano Lubri cator. It is issued by Messrs. Har- trent & Brown, und is devoted to the development of the resources of that region of West Virgina and particular I V the oil and coal. 1 lie excitement which followed the discovery of oil in that region in 1SG0-61, and which was followed by largo speculations iu land, has in a great measure, died out, but there is an extensive and steady amotit ot work going on in the production and shipping of the crude petroleum from this and all the region surround ing and along the Little Kanawha. There is a large rafineryon tho Purk ersburg side of tho Ohio river, where a considerable amount of the crude article is made into a superior quality, the quantity being only limited to the capacity of the machinery, which is kept running day and night. Romantic Result of a Stare. A beautiful and wealthy young la dy, nt a social party, took oil'ciice ut what she supposed to bo the imperti nent gaze of a gentleman present, who was a stranger to her, but a friend of tho I inly o t tho house. The young lu ll) demanded his expulsion us a condi tion of her rcmuiuing. Explanations ensued. The gentleman was not look ing ut her, though beautiful enough to attract and fasten the attention of any one. He was looking at a tine and costly chain that encircled tho fair one's neck just such a one as he had purchased for his sister in one of the links of which having a secret opening ho hud put his photograph. Rut, some mouths tince, and bciote he had an opportunity to present it to his sister, it was stolen from him. Up on examining the lady's chain he touched a spring to the little beauty unknown, and lo, tiud behold! there was his photograph ! , I leave you to judge of 'he confusion of the fair one. tMio immediately of fered to return the piece of jewelry, which was po'.ituy declined, for tho time, and it is said by knowin'' ones that she has concluded to accept of the young man's hand aud heart, in order that being tho poMit.-aur of the one, she may be permuted to retain the other. It is but justice to remark that the young lady bought tho chain of a traveling pedler, w ho stopped ut her fuller's house, fur about oue-hulf of its original coal.

The following short article, copier! from an exchange, expresses about as much truth in a small space as it is possiblo to do. "We sometimes meet with individ uals who complain of tneir county paper, and ctuse to take it, prefering to subscribe for a city pnper. They do not seem to compreheud the facts in relation to the publication aud support of papers. In the first place the term of nearly all city papers are the samo us county papers f2 for a single copy, and the only way they can get them, for a less price is by clubbing and send ing for a number of copies at a time. Theu, again, they must invariably send the money in advance, which they sel dom do fur their county paper. But the principal difference consists in the fact that it costs the publisher of the county paper the same to set bis typo that it does the city publisher, and set ting is the principal expense in pub lishing a newspaper of small circula tion. After the type is oueo set, tht expense then is merely for the blank pnper and press work. Anil a paper with a hundred thousand circulation. can better afford to take one dollar a year, than tho pnper with a thousand subscribers, two dollars. Of course, the largo city papers contain a larger amount of reading matter than the county pupers, but which is the most useful aud interesting? Do the city pa pers says anything in regard to your own county? Nothing. Do they con tain notices of your schools, church meetings, improvements aud bund reels of other local matters of interest, which the county papers publish with out rny ? Not an item. Do they ever sav a word calculated to draw attention to our county and its numerous thriv ing towns and aid in their progress and enterprise? Notaline. Audyetthero are men who take contracted views of this matter, that, unless they are get ting as many square inches of reading matter in theircuunty paper, as they do in a city paper, that they are not get ting the worth of their money. It re-, minds us of the person who took the largest pair of boots in the box, sim ply becnuse they cost the same ss tha pair much smaller, that fit. The following piece of "economy it equal to some that is taking place in New York in these days: The Town Council of Edinburgh, Scotland, have ing received intelligence that tho rope of the chief bell had given away, met at a solemn dinner to discuss whether it should be spliced at a cost of two shillings, or replaced with a new one at an expense of two and six pence. A second and third dinner, costing 10 each, wero required to determine this weighty matter, and they theu resolved to splice the old rope, on tlie score of economy being necessary in the ad ministration of the pubJfo funds, of which they declared that, "as faithfuf stewards, they were bound to bo care ful," thus setting a memorable exam ple to nil future civic corporations. The New Webter is glorious it la perfect it distances and defies com petition it leaves nothing to ba de sired. As a mouunient of litearary labor, or as a btisiuess enterprise, magnificent iu coiiceoliotn and almost faultless in execution, I think it equal ly a diuirable; und you should die to morrow, you may feel that, sj fur as earthly h'oiii r is concerned, your mon ument is built. But I cannot doubt that a grateful country will appreciate the immense service 7011 have rendered to the na tional languugo, scholarship, and re nutation by by thisgrat work, aud in uuo time render you an adequate re ward.
