(IMitorlgl from Thurnlay'j New roik Time (Mr. Seward's Organ.) It is very possible tho. publication of tlio ovidurioi) taken on tho'trial of 'the con spiralors nt Waohitigron might 'prevent tho arrest of bomo persons impliosted in the orimo 6f 'asshsfination who aro nnw at large ; but thoir arrest uflut ho of very groat importanco indood, If' 'the fear of their escaping is tufliuient to 'justify tho profound sccrcoy with wlJioh it- has been dttormined to eurrdund the' prooctdiifgs. Tho chief of 'BooiIi'b accomplices, it it? fair to coneluda, aro those for whoso apprehen sion a reward has been ouVrcd 'Davis, Tucker, Sanders & Co.and il is not pro tendtd that all) thing which may'trau-piro at the trial at Washington, will,iu the least do rco, iffct the ohancu of thoir escape. They put on their guard 'by tho Pri-s't-drill's proclamation as they aro likoly to bj by ati) thing else that can occur. It is not unfair to ootio'.'tldo, then fore, that ''tho paitics who may csoapo, should publicity be given to the proceedings," aro "parties" of an inferior degree of uilt, and now within the limits of ihu "United Slates, and if so, wo otnnot help f&)iiTg that Is 'for vAiious weighty rra.ons to bo regretted that their 'capture should bo doomed either so iillpo'tant and diffi cult, as to he 'undo tho pretest or occasion of introduction into our criminal proce dure so cxlrcordmary an anomaly as trial by a 'military I'omunsMon I'dr a 'capital oll'cuse with closed doors, ti'nd with an (nth of iucrr'cy if-jpoM-tl on nil 'persons. taking part iu tho procei ding'. Wo think it would licvo leen inliuiUly better to have postpo'uet! llw trial till' all .'publicity cnuld do no hhrin.cvun if that pciiod were fikeiy io be. six 'mouths distant, than in troduco into this country so novel a "tribu nal, aud one so repuguant to the spirit cf our ln-titiitions, as lhat which is now sit ting at iVashington. It in ouc for which no precedent is to be found in tho history of any free cointry, and ono of which ihe worst European dcspoti-mis have rarely vouttircd, even in a Poland or Hungary, to tosorl, Evca tho unhappy victims of the Iri.ih rihcllion woic prepared for tho gallows iu c-ni'ii court, and in tho light of day. Moreover, thero aro stro'sg doubU en tertained by ill (.ffotted person at the North as t tho (xistcico of -any good foundation for the charges made against Davis iu the late pioobnnation. Abroad all tho 1 nemics of tho govcrnincnt will ooftainly receive them with incredulity and 'SeriKon : "and there is no nucslion that. under al! the oiroutu tahecs, it would be Uilllcu't to imagine a 'position more hu miliating and embarrassing than that iu which tho government will stand, if it ihould appeal that t'hoio charges were lightly or frivolusly tuadc." Nothing will prevent, however, l'ho fpread of such a presumption, except tho production iu open couit of tho evidence on wlneh thoy were based. and its subinis.-ion lo tho soru iiiiy of the prisoners, counsel and of the public at large.

In middle Kentucky tho faces of the rocks aro smeared and streaked with oil, fried out of them by tho sun, so that the surfaces aio blackened as if with tar. , Up to the horizon of these black slates, asce'inlfng in the column of deposits, ge latinous sea organisms, both animal and vegetable, seem to havo constituted tho principal, if not the sole, apparatus for generating petroleum. 'But Dawson has lately discovered in th'o sandstones ovi r them a truo atigio-peniious exogenous trie, not much, if any, lower iu ihe scale of de velopment than those cf which our forests aro composed.

The musses and forns, the ru hes'and reeds, tuiuutc and gigantie, of which tho coal beds caino, suggest tho vegetable origiu of coal oil. For. it is near or between the three sys tems of coal measures which succeed each other in ascending from tho If p of tho up p?r siluriau to tho coal mcasuns proper that the amazing discoveiios of subterra nean 'reservoirs ol oil had taken place. It is impossible to suppress tho suspicion that 'petroleum is a produot of the slow decom position cf vegetable tissue. But tho oil wells aro not funk in coal measures, hut through them at tho edge of tho great coal arua. The oil is never found in eoal beds ; nor havo tho subterranean reservoirs of oil apparently any connexion 'wilh coal beds, uor even with coal slates, or bituminous shales or pyrosohiats, as ihcy aro called. Black slate, oauncl, fat coal, like lignite, peal and living wood, will yield tho oils and gases by .distilla" tion, but tho geological dittiuction must bo carefully preserved betweeu the free pe troleum of the rcoks aud wolla and thu distilled petroleum of the eld oil works. Tho couuexion of the oil regions with the coal basins of western Pennsylvania nud Virginia, eastern Ohio and Kontuoky, is, iu good measure, a geographical de ception. The Oil orotk rocks, dipping southward, pass 500 or QUO feet bilow the coal measures. Tho nearest coal bod to tho nioro northern springs occurs on the highest hill top', many miles away. Tho hills in tho vicinjty of soruo of tho wells are capped by tho conglomerate base of tho coal measures at least a hundred feet thick.

Tho southern dip carries down these oil-bearing roolo, and the wells must dotpon in tho samo direction. Mr. Uidgpway re ports (July 10, ISG'i) tho lowest oil-liear- ing sand rook, as copping' the hills near Wa'tcrford, on Lp BocuiT creek, and iho same sandstones appear on Big French creek, full of plant rcmiins wwnMiTivragaawr: The following wells chow tho dip in a woll marked 'manner : Tho Phillip'ps well, on Oil orrck, is -100 feet ; tho Hraw loy woll, at the month of Cherry run. r03 feet j tlio Cornwall woll, 630 .font; tho Avery woll, over 700 feet j and at Tiiu' villo he estimates the proper depth at 1 ,000 or 1.1200 feet.

That there is an iutiniate connexion be tween the character cf thcoo sand forma tions und tho character of tho oil which 'sues from them is indubitable. Tl o rule among the miners is, as stated by Mr. Clark in the "Proceedings of tho Ameri can Philosophical Society," (Juno, IBlii, page 37 ) lhat the harder tho roek may lu to'Ji:ill, tho lighter iu color, pure iu quality, and smaller in quantity, will bo the oil obtained therefrom; and tho softer the rock, the darker and moro abundaut the oil, Tho ohqmisl of iho Canada survey, Mr. Hunt, iiicista strenuously "upon tho dis tinction between ligniiio and bituminous rocks, inasmuch as some have been dis posed," he says, "to regard tho former as the source of the bitumen found in nature, which they concievo to liavo originated from a slow distillation, Tho result of a oarcful examination of tho question ha?, Iinwovcr, led us to the conclusion that the formation of tho one excludes more or los completely that of thu other; and that bitumen has been generated uuder condi tions different from thoso which havo transformed organic matters into coal aud lignite ; and probably, in deep water dc po its, from which atiuosphciio oxygm was excluded."

Tho fact that a consider able porticn of tho tissues of tho lower murine animals is destitute of nitrogen, aud very similar in 'chemical composition to the woody fibre of plauts, forms another link in the chain of reasoning on this dis tinction between bituminous and lignitio rocks. The blcck slates, and even fke'eoal beds arc, in fnot, layers of mud, charged slightly or to excess with lignitio matter, peat, or humus part of which has assumed tho form of glance cC'al aud part tho form of mineral charcoal, but alciost none ol which is soliiblo in bcnaule or sulphurct of cat bun, whereas these liquids easily dissolvo out the ready formed bitumen from the rooks which may contain them. But whenever a coal bed hecamo a repos itory of doad fish, liko the eight-foot coal at the mouth of Yellow orctk, at the bcud of the Ohio, or as in tho ease of tho two foot stratum (jf phoophatic iron-oro depos ited betweeu lb' two benches of the Deep llivcrcoal bed, at Egypt, in North Caro lina how different an aspect tlio mineral thon wcarsx glossy ith soluble bitumon J Mr. Hunt argues with much forco that tho mero fact that intermediate strata,por ous enough to nb'oibnll the floating biiu. men iu their vicinity, aro nevertheless des titute of nuy, i enough to prove that tho accumulations of oil now furnishing thu world with light, never caino from the nub voleanio distillations ol tho beds of coal iu their neighborhood, but that the mineral has bcon gener'atod by the transformation of t-rgautc matter in the MraU where it is.

(Pt.qc. GeoJ. Soc.Lond., May 1900. Huut.) The theory of the genesis of coal oil is, h iwevcr, far from being cloarcd up by such facts. It is true that the oil is uot found iu immcdittto contact with coal boda made of land or fresh-water plants ; but ou tho other hand, coal oil regions ore geographically connected wilh ooal-bed re gions, whether of devonian, carboniferous, oolitics or tertiary ago.

It is oasy after these questions how been answered, to describe the mechanical propulsion of the oil to tho surfaoe, partly by gravity and partly by tiro pressure ot the gas it has itself generatod, through natural fissures producing natural oil springs, or through artificial auger bole. The intermittent action of most of tlTo flowing and spouting wells is liko that of the Iceland geysers,-where steam is th motivo power. The oil men of tho Ma honing valloy say thot more gas is blown eff in winter than iu summer. At the Edeuburg well, above referred to, the blast of gas is sometimes violent enough to stop tho pumping engine for half an hour at a time.
