The OilClty Regitter has the following in teresting report of the on operationsffor last week: Since our last, theoll business has'awaken ed somewhat from its Rip Yan Winkles liko apathy, and Is io a healthier state than for some time phst. Prices are ruling firm at 50 @6O cents per barrel at the wells, wlthan up ward tendency. Bbme partieslare asking SL. •There is but a small amount offered, and buy ers at low figures are quite numerous. . During the past week there was quite a flutter in the oil market, owing to the, fact that a 3,000 barrel well was “struck’' on the* Tarr Farm, on Friday last. It appears that on. Tuesday last, 'the Philllpi'weli,. the lar gest oh the creek, situated on the Tarr commenced throwing water and sedment, mixed with a limited quantity of oil, and finally stopped. This was'oceasionedby the Woodford well. In process of being bored, a few.roda distant from the Phillips well, and douholess on the same crevice. The drilling tfiols of the Woodford-well had a few min utes before dropped a distance of about two feet, and the workmen ceased operations for the time. On Friday morning the gas came out of the hole with treufshdous force, blow ing the drilling tools, weighing 600 pounds, some 60 feet hi the air, and the well com menced flowing at the.rate, it is estimated by thoso competent, to judge, of 3,000 bbls. per day. The price of oil fell somewhat upon ' tho'striking iof this well, and oil buyers were in extacies. But alas 1 for. the vanity pf'human hopes, i? on Saturday the tubing was drawn-from the Phillips well, and the sew welt simmered down to 150 battels per day, the water course from! the Philips well effeetnaHy drowhing.it out. The Woodford Is only flowing about 150'bbls. at the present time. '-The producers have recovered from their temporary panto.

FROM YESTERDAY’S BVKNIWQ (JAZBTTF. The Oil Trade; of Pittsburgh. A year or two ago, our readers would have been at some lose to know ohich oil trado we referred to, lard, linseed or wiale, under such a caption; but now evory one knows that the oil trade of the present day, is tbe prodigious business which has sprang up since the dis covery and development Petroleum or earth oil. Although yet in its infancy, it has already assumed wondrous proportions, and gives every promise of presently being recog nised as a business of the very first impor tance. The discovery of crude Petroleum in large quantities in Pennsylvania and West- Virginia-has opened up hitherto almost totally undeveloped regions i of. our coun try-employed. vast amounts of latent capital, and famished a new stimulus to the produc tive enterprise ef oar people. 'Not only is the . product carried to all parte of -our own coun try, but Petroleum from the Pennsylvania oil wells is exported extensively to Gnat Britain and various portions of contineptalEarope. So cheaply is the article produced and so valua ble are the products derived from it, that its exportatioq 'to foreign countries bids fair to rival even cotton in value, in. the olden time when cotton jvas “king/'. This discovery has required and established a new branch of manufacturing industry for refining and pre paring tbe.oil for unlversaL uke, and as the le*caUed carbon oticouibine* the various pro perties of beauty, brilliancy, safety and cheap ness, it is rapidly superceding all theartitl-, dal lights heretofore in use, and . is being csj tablisbed as (Ae tf/uattMter of! tbe civilised 1 world. tienee, the .business refining.this' natural oil basassumed moat gigantic propor tions, and more especially in: tbe neighbor hood t»t Pittsburgh—a pioneer in tho oil trade —has it .beoome a manufacture of the first class, rivalling, if not exceeding our iron and glass business. Pittsburgh h*s demonstrated itspeculiar adaptation fur Aha Sueoesifulproi ecution of thc onsiness, hsviQg thocrudemti- Uriel brought cheaply.to : its dooiy-asd direct Tail and river, cbmmanicatidn with all pattiof theoounli7 and the world. Thedercantiieabd . .maqbfaeturisgasergy bfitir people has, in bo hraaohof productive boon more fat ly demonstrated than In this oil refining busi ness, and until we had given the subject a careful investigation, we knew Uttlenr noth ing ol tbe wonderfol enterprite that has been developed .In this small depkrtment of our bomb trade.. : Two years ago, in Pithsborgh, orodo petro leum was refinod by but one; establishment, capable of taming oat, perhaps, fifty barrels in a week. Now our readers frill Wsarpttaed to learo, a> we certainly wen, that thofo are over stay refineries in and irbund our city, someof tbem capable of refining one thou sand barrels per week. In that brief period the enterprise of oar citizens has started "that wonderful number of manufacturing estab lishment’s at an aggregate cost of a half mil lion of dollars/requirlng another half million dollars to stock and carry thorn.on. Already the production of these refineries eurtod, as it were, but yesterday, is known and. appre ciated throughout t&e civilized world. Pitts burgh refinedoil is being carried by almost every ship that sails from our eastern ports to Eogland, France, Germany, Sweden, Cuba, South America, Australia, California; and tho different brands of Pittsburgh . oil wilt pre sently be as well known abroad at thoy are In New York or Bqaton. . j i We have been' Surprised hbd delighted at the eleganee and completeness of-miny of these establishments. One -that we have lately visited is deserving of.mention as per haps, so far, the finest of its class; in this country. We . refer, to the|. <f Brilliant Oil Works’* of Messrs.

The refinery proper is Ibailt of stone, with iroa roofs, and brick ■pavements,’and with Sts village of tanks, warehouse* and, dwellings,;covers four or five aores, and refines twelve (hundred barrels crude oil per week, taming oat an artiole that is pronounced first class in all the market* of thooountry. Tbe machinery and appliances if tbe *i BriUiant” embrace eveiy improve ment that has yet been made in this very im portant and promUincbuiiness, and we were pleased and greatly surprised; at the time of our visit to’find.the firm filling an order of (one tbourand barrels for Bwnden, by way of :NewYork.’/”.“.' - , l This b'nslnois ha* carried tip with it a great many other branches of industry } coopers are working to their fullast capacity, manufactur ing Jren-hoondv barrel!. - Iron bafreis are turned out in large quantities by a faotory in 'the neighborhood.-; O.ur.^roHfng.mills find a market for an immense quantity of-hbop iroo; ‘tinners make five and ten gallon cans for ex port; chemical labrotories are run to their ’fullest capacity lh the production.of acid alkali;, glass manufaetories-findan .immense demand for lamp! mod lamp Chimneys, and in &Ct, the whole-coQimuhlty, e}ther direotly or lodlreotly. is engaged in this new branoh of PitUburgbtDana&utare.'; From what we have written/'our (readers will jbe prepared forih' few remarki on tho oil majrkSt. .Boringthe pastmontb, inantieipa tioh of the (tax. which, frt* expected to take cffeqtbn the lttprbzimo.'tbe'jmsrket has been exdeedlbgly active, at adtahood ratos. 20,000 barrels have been soldi at prices bsgin ning at Ifi eenta ahd advanolng to 22 cents, at wbloh themarketclozei with good inquiry, -cheeked •ozbewbat’by the notice that the .tax 'will not; be; imposed UQtU Bo(>tember Ist.’ It !is probable the market will jeaiain’ witbout mudt variation during the comidg month; nn- speculators bocompellodtoforee.thelf stock’ on the marksVbat the legitimate demand wilt presently spring up, and oarry oil during the ut| to .a remunerative prioel ■- The ’ stook on hand here Is not much, if at 4)1,' aboveAo,o 00 - barrels, and the indications are.that the de manddaring the coming season wlllbe exten sive beyond all precedent. . * • InneareWar Meeting fn Jobuntown.'

T It is tho clear duty of all who are able, to subscribe ltborally; and those whobavo money to spare, and yet withhold it,.will not be ranked among those who place tbolr coun try's interest before their ;own.

Uun many such there are, in these two dues and vicinity, we,do not pretend to guess'V but there are scores of instances in which hundreds and thousands jdf dollars have been mado efftho government, in consequence of tho war, and those who bavo placed these large profits la their coffers are naturally ex fiected to.'“come down” with ibetrihundreds n this the country’s, need. Many will doubtless subscribe who have lost largely in consequenco of the war, hub who feel that, while the govern mentis in peril, all they own is in danger likewise—for, with its fall, ruin comes upon all alike. •It wore perhaps unnecessary to remind any of their duty in this critical'hour. Let each strive te emulate or outdo Msneighbor iohls patriotic efforts to put tbe full quota of Ailo gbeoy county in the field at an early doy.^ Generous Subscriptions. Messrs.
