HARRISBURG, PA Friday Afternoon, October 11, 1861 MOT'ENENTS 01 THE SECRETARY 01 IMEM The Pittsburg Gazette of Thursday last says that the Secretary of War, Hon. Simon Cam eron, accompanied by Adjutant General Thomas, arrived in that city on Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock, on a brief tour, connected with the in terests of the government. We were pleased to see that, notwithstanding the care of state, to gether with the extraordinary pressure of busi ness developing upon the War Department, General Cameron is looking well. Although traveling all Tuesday night : Ste was up in the morning with the sun, full of vigor, and after an early breakfast at the Monongahela House, took a carriage, accompanied by his Honor, Mayor Wilson, Hon. J. M. Kirkpatrick and Thomas McConnell, Esq., and after a brief visit to the Arsenal, made a close personal examina tion of the Fort Pitt Foundry, with which he appeared to be highly gratified. After a drive through our principal streets, the General returned to the Monongahela House, where he was visited by a number of prominent citizens. The party left for Louis ville and the West and South on the 12.25 train. This trip of the Secretary of War is significant of the vigor and the activity of the government. The West will not be overlooked. We HOPE it is not true, as reported, that Gov. Curtin has declared he will withhold a commis sion from a popular and capable Colonel of one of the Pennsylvania regiments now at Washing ton, because of some rash expression of that of ficer during the three months' service, which the Governor regarded as disrespectful to him self. We are disposed to make every allowance for the difficulties occasioned to the State au thorities by the haste in which the three months' enlistments were required to be prepared for the field, and the people also seem inclined to " let by-gones be by-gones," but the forgetfulness of past quarrels and mistakes cannot be all on one side.—Pasbury Despatch. We do not understand exactly to whom the Pittsburg Despatch alludes in the above whining paragraph, but we do know that a Colonel hail ing from Pennsylvania spoke of his superior officer, the Commander-in-Chief of Pennsylva nia's forces, while they were in the three months' service, in a manner most disgraceful to the Governor, the commonwealth and the Colonel aforesaid. In justice to the dignity of the Commander-in-Chief, the discipline of the army, and the respect of one soldier for another, such a man is not worthy of much recognition at the hands of Gov. Curtin, and we ques tion if he would not repeat the slander he once uttered were he again as kindly treated as was the treatment he formerly re ceived at the hands of the Governor. We do not presume to speak by authority on this sub ject, and yet we must do Gov. Curtin the justice of declaring that he is jealous of his reputation, and ever prompt to vindicate it from attack from any source. It is for us to say whether the vilest traducers of his personal and political character shall be the recipients of his official favor. We will assure the Dispatch of one fact, however, that the Governor will not allow his private wrongs to embarrass the public service. On this, let the bullying Colonel aforesaid rest his cause. Russn or THE Tokiss.—His recent letters ex hibit a - marked change in his opinions. He at last begins to see that we of the north have an honest quarrel before us, and brave arms to fight it out ; that there is a reality in the exhi bition of national enthusiasm ; that we have committed our honor to the issue, and that on that issue we have staked our prosperity as a people, and our future as a nation. This con version of Mr. Russel is, therefore, a gratifying sign, for when our enemies begin to acknowl edge our justice and power, we may easily feel our importance as a nation. The extracts from Mr. Russel's last letter, which we published yesterday, prove conclusively that his better judgment prevails, and that he is now on the right track. THE REPORT that a misunderstanding exists between Brig. Gen. Jas. S. Negley and Col. Serwell is entirely without foundation in fact. On the contrary,"the best of feeling exists be tween these two best of soldiers, and the regi ment under the command of Col. Sirwell will form part of the brigade to be led into service by Brig. Gen. Negley. This brigade is now ac. tively organizing and drilling in the vicinity of Pittsburg. When fairly disciplined, it will con stitute a force inferior to none of its grade in the army. Col. T. T. Wotan - , of the Lebanon Courier, who was tendered the appointment of a Pay master in the U. S. Army, by the Secretary of War, has been compelled to decline the position by private reasons and business engagements. We are right glad of this, because we expect to see our friend Worth represent his district in Congress, a post more congenial to his talents and ambition, than the financial service of a paymaster in the army. Tin, Bank of Washington city refuses to take Treasury notes. The bank has not redeemed its own issues since last fall, and Congress will probably close the disloyal institution next winter.

The Court, giving its decision in the recent case of contempt, wherein General Graham of Pennsylvania was respondent and the corpus delicti consisted in the detention of a minor within the camp of the Twenty-third Pennsyl vania regiment after a decreoof Court releasing him, referred to " the example of Chancellor Kent in the case of Commodore 'Chauncey and General Lewis.— The case thus alluded to by the Court dates in the year 181 a, when a commissioner of the Supreme Court of New York directed a writ of habeas corpus to Isaac Chauncey, then command ing our federal squadron on Lake Ontario, to Morgan Lewis, commandant at the military station of Sackett's Harbor, and to all their subordinate officers, requiring them to produce before the said commissioner the body of Samuel Stacy. General Lewis made return to the writ, asserting that Stacy was not "in his custody." Royal Torrey, Provost Marshall, returned that he held Stacy by virtue of a warrant from As sistant Adjutant General Chambers, command ing him to receive Stacy in custody of the Pro vost Guard, from Commodore Chauncey, who charged him with treason against the United States, committed within the territory of the King of ,Great Britain. Affidavits were filed with these returns, and the commissioner sub mitted the case, for direction to the Supreme Court. Chancellor Kent gave his opinion that the return of General Lewis was bad on the face of it, being evidently evasive, and that if he meant to excuse himself, he should have said that Stacy was "not in his possession or power." Fur thermore, that Stacy's detention under the Adjutant General's order could be considered as nothing but the act of General Lewis. The re turn of the latter was therefore a contempt of Court—the writ had been intentionally disre garded—and accordingly an attachment was issued against General Lewis, with the alterna tive of his privilege to have it converted into an order to show cause, if he immediately complied with the original writ and produced Stacy. As mire MATTER of employing foreigners in our military service has been the subject of much comment, both at home and abroad, the follow ing statements are made upon good authority : First. No one has been authorized to enlist, or raise troops in Canada, as has been affected to be understood there. Second. No commisP have been offered, or other overtures reade to military men in France, or other European states, as has been assumed there Thi r d. Th e government has not tendered 'the command of the army to General Garibaldi, as has been re presented in Europe. EY:ery foreigner who has come with a good char.acter has been accepted. General Garibaldi is a naturalized citizen, and it having been in f amated that he was coming,to this country, he was informed that if this was so, his services would be accepted with pleasure, and he would receive a commission as Major General, being the same rank which was con ferred or General Lafayette in the army of the Revolution.. General Garibaldi, upon consid eration of the subject, has concluded not to offer his services at present, but thinks he may by and by revisit the - United States, IT IS SAID that Major General Butler every month deposits, the amount of his pay in the treasury ; on -account of the 7.30 notes. G. N. FITCH, late United States Senator from Indiana, is raising a regiment in that state. MR. MORRIS TARIFF will not produce a re venue this year equal to twenty - million of dol lars.

Well, be this as it may, we have a statement to make in this particular direction more mar vellous than any previously given, and those who are credulous in such matters may just pass it over without perusal. To all others, be it known that the most'" astonishing vein of oil yet out was tapped , on Tuesday week, on the DTE'llany farm, about twenty rods below the celebrated well of Capt. Funk, at a depth of 460 feet. When we saw it, on Thursday evening, it was pouring forth a continuous stream of oil, wonderful to behold, which it had done without interruption from the hour it was struck— differing from n;iost others, which take time to rest occasionally. How much it had flowed up to the time we visited it, cannot be exactly ascertained, as the owners were not prepared to secure it at first, and even when we were there it could not be mastered. To give the reader some idea, however, of its yield, we would say, that s watch was held while it rue c "tg:sl4 , titt34 4gcf iPtrn wtnyw„l-,;4 ^+•• c,P.geo 0 ,0 0P coP2 ro°2. 0t° 1::r ° PI.J , tll-4= o l=ra.

At a fair estimate, taking this as a data, those who were working and watching about it are confident that in the first 24 hours, it flowed two thou sand four hundred barrels of oil ! And when we left on Friday morning there appeared to be but little diminution.. :What is also remarka ble is the fact, that as above stated, this w ell is located not more than twenty rods from. the Funk well, which has been flowing some four months, and has yielded an almost incredible quantity of the greasy fluid. It would have been supposed that the latter had drained all the'oil for a considerable distance around, but there is one still more prolific within twenty rods. Theseoil wells are certainly among the wonders of the world. It may well be supposed that at such a well they have a pretty lively time of it, in Aheir ef forts to save the oil ; and while they can suc ceed but partially when they have daylight for it, it is rendered still more difficult such nights as we had last week--dark as Egypt, and rain ing at that—when danger of explosion will not allow of any light being brought near the spot. If any of our readers are dying of ennui, we would advise them to get employment at one of these wells for a short time.—,fiercer (Pa.) Ilia- WA, - L' , D tsD CS) CA GO • Oa FF..

Throwing masses—infantry, cavalry, artillery—such in his latter years, was Napo leon's whole art. At Waterloo he employed no other method ; when the Prussians arrived, the hammer was broken on the anvil. The effect of those monstrous shocks--whose secret re duces itself to a mechanical formula, mass mul tiplied by velocity—is horrible." Srocaixos FOR THE ARM - Y.—The following rules are laid down for the direction of ladies wishing to knit socks for the soldiers. Get large needles and a coarse yarn. Cast on sev enty. eight stitches, and knit the leg ten inches before setting the heel. The heel should be three and a-half inches long, and knit of double yarn, one fine and one coarse, for extra strength. The foot should be eleven or twelve inches long.
