Oil rr is Mound As the recent discoveries of rock or Seneca oil in the Western counties of our State are now attracting so much attention among specu lators, it will be interesting to many to know in what kind of geological formations these deposits are found. In this view the following memoranda of the progress of the boring of the Farmer .. Co. od Well, near Warren, which is thought to yield oil in equal abund ance with that of - Mr. Drake,' of'Titusville, will be interesting to many of our readers. A cast iron tube, five -inches in diameter, has been driven to a depth' of ninety-seven feet, striking the soap-stone rock in which the oil is found. It is the design to bore still deeper, to secure nil abundant supply of the oil. The progress of the boring was as follows: foot much Eire lent bine day Forty-three feet 1111 led gravel tine foot blue clay and sand Six feet sand, clay and shale• Twenty-six foot tiro clay. striking liodidt, at bottom..

ITEMS. —Just now the volit.eni pool is almost a whirlpool, swaliowing up all minor matters. Every one, who has an a.ziA grind at the coming election is anxiously seek ing up his friends to assist him in turning ti.k. grindstone, and the. atmosphere is so strongly impregnated with the odor of politics that it absorbs everything else. As a con su quence items are scarce; aldermen have so little to do that they have turned their attention toward politics instead of rewarding drunkeness and crime, and the jail records do not repay exam ination. Polities are considered by some necessity of existence, but if they have the ef fect of relieving our jails of vagrants, and the people of taxes, they should be cultivated as a benefit to humanity. CHRISTMAS TURKEYS. —A huge drove of turkeys, including a few get-se, were driven up Fifth street yesterday morning, attrrrting much attention, many of them being immen.,e, healthy lookir g birds. The owner, who in tends selling the drove, numbering sonic four or five hundred, in this city, will doubtless re alize a handsome profit. I I. is again rumored that the' cars aro about to be placed on the Birmingham Passenger Railway. We hope this is true, as the people on the route are beginning to feel serious about the delay, as the road has been so long corn ileted. J. B.

The former can he procured anywhere, and so can the latter, but we-would take the .c•r.a sion to call attention to the establialitneiit of Mess:, Iteymer k Anderson, ou Wood street. opposite the St Chart, Hotel, as a place where everything in the line of sweetmeats or confectionery ran be had in profusion and variety. These gentlemen have been engaged in their present bine neas for several years, and by it. course of fair and npright dealing they have built up for themselves a large and profitable trade, both in city arid eountry.— They keep n fine stock of choicest - la:lee of everything usually sold in such establishments, which they Fen at reasonable prices. Their stock embraces all the ordinar' y descriptions of plain and fancy candies, made by themselves, of pore sugar and vegetable coloring matter, fruits, nuts, rai sins, figs, cocoa-nuts. oranges, lemons, etc. They are also making some of the finest varieties of flavored candiss, after the French style, such ...Supple slice, can died dates, strawberry stands, brandy bottles, gum and cordial drop,. and a number of others. The flavor of these candies are not their only recommendation, as they arenot only-Pleasing to the eye and agreeable to the taste, but composed of such materials ns can in urn no one, not even an infant. The coloring is not de ete. nous. as is often the case with French chemically col ored candies, but is purely vegetable and entirely harm. loss. They hare also an assortment of household "trim mings," such so pickles. french mustard, pie-apple cheese, pickled olives, preserved fruits, &e. of thebest qualities. Wo observed in thin establishment a number of ta,te fill articles for the decoration of Christmas trees, SOW II as gilt and silvered halls and eggs, vrax candles, paper lan terns,and. pendants of every description. These are not perishable, but eatt_be'k apt from year to year for the same purpose. They 'are well calculated to please the little ones; chile at tee same time they are cheap and handsome. Fire crackers, torpedoes and fliv.werk% generally com plete the aseortment,and if there is anything winch tolls in the line of their buelners that cannot he found here, we cannot conceive what it in. We advise all who wish to purchase articles of this character to call upon Messrs. R. & A., who will supply them with everything they may need. Their courteous and gentlemanly elertra, Messrs.

THE LATEST NEWS BY T.MI..MG},Xt.II-M213.. ruiRTT-sivrti CONGRESS FIRST SESSION • • WASHINGTON, December 19.—Housr. read Gilmer, of North. Carolina, caused to be ract a newspaper article, commenting on an ext hi s from the Boston Trace Journal, associating name offensively with Helper's book, and say ing, among other things, that the South should look about to see whether there were not traitors on her soil. He said that so far as this article ap plied to him, it was an infamous and malicious fabrication, and a falsehood from beginning to end. if he had received Helper's book, as charged. it must have boon through the mail, but he had no knowledge that the book ever canto into his possession—certainly he never read a word of it. Ever since he had refused to act with the Democrats on Lecompton, which he believed an infamous swindle, ho was pursued with the ferocity and malignity of the devil. He repeated that the whole pub lication, so far as it was intended to affect him, is a lie from beginning to end. Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi, replying to Mr. Hickman. emphatically denied the latter's charge, that the South had violated all com pacts and compromises. Where, and when had the South demanded anything more than she was entitled to under the Constitution ? When ever aggressions had been made, they were by the stronger on the weaker section, and the South was obliged to take her present stand with a view to preserve fraternal relations. Mr. Hickman, of Pennsylvania, said ho would reply by wiking a question. Mr. Singleton said that was a Yankee way he did•n't like. Mr. Hickman said, that if he understood the history of legislation in 1850 and 1854, there was a demand made from the South, that the Missouri Compromise line should be repealed, inasmach as it prevented slavery north of 56 &qv", 39 minutes, and was uujuit to the South, which went almost in a body for a re• peal, and with the aid of a few abolitionists accomplished it. In return they gave the North what he (Mr. Hickman) considered was a dtetinet pledge, viz: That the question „1 slavery, from that day forward, should cease to be agitated in Congress, and the settlement of the whole question be left to the people of the territories, for their determination After further debate, in which strong lan was used by Mr. Singleton, of the in t,ntioll, of the South, he reminded the Repub• that the chivalric son of the South, ietTer.in Davis, had been a loader in the war with Mexico, and that he might again lead an army. Ile said the South would extend into a government, and would take posset.sion and administer the o-tote. A 1 . 311 of the Howal was then wade, and th, eleventh ballot taken. N 1 bole number of v,,ie _So ; neoez.lary to a choice, 136; Sherman, 11'2 ewock, 65; Booteler, 21; sc.ttt!ring 12 Mr. Bocock then said that ho eon.;ented to the use of his name a a candidate for Speaker, in the hope that it would prove a rallying point for all opposed to what wan termed an aggres sive party. This hope had gradually grown dim, and hud become entirely extinguished. therefore, formally withdrew his name. Mr. Moore, of Alabama, nominated Mr. Boeteler. The Elotw.o proceeded to vote, with the 1.1 lowing ro-ult: whole number of votes, 2,!..1 rioceary to a ehoice,llti; Sherman, 112; Boot ler, 2`.4; Boeock, 19; Taylor, 12: ?help, 16 : remainder .tattering among various gen denier. Considerable eon fusion ensued, many mem ber> being d• - •;:irotis of adjourning, and others b. vote again. Finally another vote was or dered. Thirteenth ballot -whole number, 26, necessary to a choice 114; Boeteler, 31 Burksdale. ; Bocock, ; Miles Taylor, 7. Sherman, 110, and rest scattering. The Howie then adjourned. SEN AT E.—The Vice President being absent, Mr. Bright, of Indiana, moved that Mr. Fit:- patriek, of Alabama, be appointed President of the Senate pro fem. Mr. Foote, of Vt., said the more recent prep tire of the Senate had boen to proceed to a bail let. The Senate then balloted for President ten., with thefollowin'r,iult Fitzpatrick 36 ; Foster 1V;llin 1. Ir. Fitzpatrick then pok the Chair The ,hair presented a report front tbo Sec retary of the Treasury of the United States, with copu•s of his accounts for the third and fourth quarteN of 18;8 and the first and second quarters of M r. Mason asked that his Investigating Com mittee ho authorized to appoint a clerk. Agreed to. Mr. Pugh called up his resolution submitted on last Thursday, instructing the Committee on Territories to inquire into the expediency of repealing so much of the act for the organi zation of the territorial governments of the New Mexico and Utah as requires all laws pre‘ed by those territories to be submitted to Congress fur approval or rejection. Mr. Hale, of N. H., said it was net in order to proceed to le gislative bminess prior to the organization ofAle House Mr. Pugh stated that he desired to reply to ho remarks of the Senator from Georgia, Mr. Verson, which he made the other day, and ho cared not whether be spoke on the resolution, or on the point of order. He desired to de fend the Northern Democracy from the charge of unsoundness, which did not come with n good grace from those in the South, who had not done so much for the party as the North erners. Ho spoke of the difficulty in the North ~f battling against sectionalism and defending the rights of the South. They never elected the Senator from Georgia to be a jude as to the soundness of their Democracy. He repu diated the sentiment that tho position of Sena tor Douglas on Territorial rights was akin to the Wilmot Proviso, or anti-Democratic. I read from a speech in the congrvisional Globe, showing that Mr. Cass sustained the same po sition. Mr. Pugh also quoted from a speech deliv ered by Mr. Iverson himself, in 'the Mouse of Representatives, eleven years ago, which was as strong in support of non-intervention views as Mr. CIIINA . famous Nicholso'n letter, or Mr. Douglas' Freeport speech. He referred to the instructions sent by the Georgia legislature to her Senators when the Kan;us-Nebraska bill was up, in favor of non-intervention, and he said he stood on the Georgia platform. He proceeded to reply to the remarks of Mr. Gwin, that had he understood the Kansaa bill when he voted for it, he w ould never have given that vote, by saying that Mr Gwin did not vote of his motion, but was instructed by the California legislature to give that vote, and that the legislature wrote down for him in that instruction what it thought the Kansas-Ne braska bill meant. Mr. Pugh then proceeded to read the Demo cratic Platform a:lopted in California since the last session of Congress, which is almost literally copied from the Ohio Platform drawn up by Mr. Pugh himself. He stated what ho un derstood the Kansas Nebraska bill to mean, adopting for that purpose the language of the President, who signed the bill, giving his own interpretation of it as found in the Message of 1856. He alsdquotod the resolutions adopt ed by the Florida Legislature in December, 1847, in support of his position. He said his object was to show that various attempts aTo now being made contrary to the opinions for mally entertained by the Legislatures of the Southern States to break the principles of the Compromise of 1850, and to break through the covenant of the Kansas bill, and on that text, to preach sermors on the soundness or unsoundness of the Northern Democracy. After some further remarks, a long colloquial debate ensued between Messrs. Gwin and Pugh, in which Mr. Davis, of Miss., also par ticipated; presenting no points of special inter est. Mr. Hale hoped that inasmuch as the ques tion of order he raised this morning had been elucidated, the Chair would now decide that point. Mr. Lane, of Oregon, desired to say a few words on the quektion, which had been up; if Mr. Hale would withdraw. Mr. Hale—l will withdraw authing the Senator front Oregon desires, [Laughter.] Union Meeting in New York.

Gon. Miramon left Phiadelajara to attack Mazatlan. He had suspended Marques and took possession of the balance of the three millions of specie.
