The strongest 6urfaco indications are said to be apparent. Another company ' has been formed with the intention of boring on the land of M. Hastings, one mile from tho village. The following item may be interesting to those making leases in Virginia: All leases for a term of more than three years must be acknowledged like a deed, and recorded with in six months. To bo valid, all the names of each of the parties must bo includfd in tho lease, and it must be signed by all of them. A company is about being organized at Smicksburgb, Indiana countv, lor the purpose of boring for oil in that locality. Messrs. Uubloy, Hall ds Co , of Allegheny city, organized a company some time since, and commenced opuraiieus yesterday, on t&eir claim at New Waterford, Ohio.

Engineer Killed —Robert Brisbane, an engineer in tho employ of the Port Wayne ana Chicago Railroad Cumphny, was instant ly killed at Alliance, on Tuesday last, lie was etandn g on the side track, and, of it is supposed, was eogaged at the time in counting the cars in his train, preparatory to starting, when a shifting engine backed three earn over him, killing him on the spot, and mutilating his body in a shocking manner. lie doubtless had no warning of the approaching cars, as it he had he might have escaped His friends reside in Columbiana, Uhiu, where his re mains were brought for interment c-n Sunday last. He was a most estimable man, and bi« terriblo death has bn« ii a source id poignant sorrow to a large circle of relatives and friends. Burned to Death. —On Monday afternoon, the 4th iT Bl ’ ft httle child agod 17 months, of Abijah A Hanover township, Wash ington county, *** 80 s«rioualy burned by its clothes taking lire it died on Wednesday morning about four 0 clock. It was left by iU mother in charge of An older child in a room where there was a lire burning in a grate, whilst she would attend to some work fn the kitchen. Unknown to tho motbor tho older child went out by a iront door, leaving the babe alone in the room. .By some means unknown, its clothes took tire, and before they could be extinguished, its breast, nock, face, arms, and hands, were bo badly burned that it suffered on until Tuesday night, when it went into convulsions, which, terminated in death the next morning. The Concert this Kykninu. —At Concert Hall, this evening, a rare musical entertain* ment is offered, and as it has beeu some time since wo have been favored with such a one it w ti’ probably be well attended. Already a good number of seats have been taken. The prima donna i* Mad. Charlotte Varian, a first class artiste, lYho will bo assisted by Mr. Clement Tetedoux, baritone, well known as one of our best resident vocalists, and Mr. P. Smith, tenor. Tho musical director is Mr. Edward Hoffman, who will preside at the piano. A good programme is offered, and the occasion will bo one of interest. We adyise who have not secured scats to call at Melba’s to-day and do so. KailK°ai> Bridges. —From the report of the AudW' or General of Pennsylvania, we glean the foli, owin g interesting statistics: The highest railroad bridge in the Bute it upon the C&tawieaa Railroad, and ’s one hundred and twenty eight fet *• high. The Media bridge, on the West Chester and Philadelphia Rail road, is one hundred ana ODe f®°t high. The higbeet bridge on the Pennsylvania Railroad is at Coalesville, and is seventy ‘two feet high. The bridge on the Huntington and Broad Top ißo&d, atßtonertown, is fast high, •while the celebrated Wisaahiukon bridge, on the Philadelphia and Norristown Railroad, is but sixty-eight feet high. We have received the annual report of the Young Men’s Mercantile Library Association, the main poioU of which we have already publUhed. ■ -+:■+* *-• - yjr-*~ ■****.? .

The work is to be ready for the track in fifteen months. Fire Items.— The Relief boys have appoint ed a committee to make inquiries as to the probable cost of a new Bteam lire engine, which they think they can raise the funds to purchase. The Duquesne boyßare also making an effort to procures steamer, and some $2,000 has alroady been subscribed lor the purpose.— The Allegheny Fire Company are to visit Creonsburgh on tbo 21st of Juno, to partici* pate in a parade to come off there. They will be warmly welcomed by the firemen of old Westmoreland. Ali.eohexy Sidewalks —Another Feder. al street merchant was before Mayor Drum yesterday, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $2 and costs, for obstructing the sidewalk with boxes. The Mayor of Allegheny seems de termined to explode this method of advertising; and sometimes (as yesterday, when we saw a lady tear a fine silk dress by coming in con tact with a box) we think our Mayor might, give the matter his attention. > Compromised. Yesterday, a man named James Layden was before Alderman jarat-s Miller on a charge of assault and battery, on oath of John McCiintoek. The parties, it appears, had a difliculty, when Layden, be coming excited, struck McCiintoek a violent blow with a shovel. When the case came up for a hearing before the magistrate, a compro mise was effected by tbo prosecutor withdraw** ing the charge and defendant paying costs. Found.— Last week we stated that a giri of fourteen, Ada Brown, had disappeared from the residence of Mr. Scholoy, Lawrencovillo, -with whom she bad been living, and that fears of her having been drowned wero entertained. It was ascertained on Tuisday that the child hadgonoto Mrs. Dennuon’a,near Wiikinaburg, where she desired to remain. Her m. ther, who had come to the city to find her daughter, immediately went to see hor.

SCO., &C„ See., Sec., Washtnoton City March 14.—Senate Mr. Mason, of Va.. offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of War to inform the Senate ’whether any portion of the District of Colum bia Militia or any officers thereof, since the first, of January, have been mustered into the service of the United States, and whether any duty has been imposed on thorn by the Depart ment; if so, whether they have received any or what allowances, the n&turo of the duties, for what time employed, and whether the same still continuo to be performed, otc. Mr. Sumner, of Mass., objecting, the reso lution Uos over. Mr. Douglas, of 111., moved to take up his resolution offered yesterday, calling on the Secretary of War for information relative to the Southern forts and other public property, etc. Mr. Fessenden, of Me , said it was quite obvious that this was a matter on which the Senate could not act. It required legislation and they were here only as an executivo ses sion. He therefore demanded the yeas and nays. Mr. Hantor, of Virginia, hoped the resolu tion would be taken up. It interested very deeply the people of Uu* country, who want to know whether they are* to have peace or war. He did not agree wtyh tin* Senator from Maine that the resolution was Legislative in its char acter. Mr. Clingmnn. of North Carolina, said he bad prepared a resolution LS*vising the Presi dent to make a treaty with the seceded States, relative to thii very property • Whether this was proper or not, everybody admitted that the President and Senate are tho treaty mak ing power, and that whatever they do in that capacity, is final without reference' to the other House. He repeated tuat the true policy was for the President by, and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make such a treaty. Mr. Douglas thought that the majority ought to permit the resolution to be taken up, in order that he might explain his object in pffering it, which was for tho best of purposes. Mr. Mason said that the resolution calletl for information of very great moment, and if tho majority refused to take it up, the infer ence would be that they desired to suppress information affecting the question of peace or war. Mr. Fessenden said he had his objections to tho resolution. His opinion was that it would be unwise to pass it; hence he would not withdraw his objection. The question was then taken, and tbeSen&te refused to proceed to the consideration of the resolution, by a vote of 10 yeas to 22 nays. Mr. Fessenden moved to take up the resolu tion offered by him yesterday. Mr. Douglas inquired what was the first proposiiton on the calendar. The Chair, Mr. Foote, replied: “The reso lution of the Senator from Illinois.” Mr. Douglas remarked that as his resolution was the first in order on the calendar, and it was the duty of the Chair to say what was be fore the Senate, without the formality of a vote to take it up, he submitted that its con sideration could not be dispensed with without the Senate agreeing on the question of post ponement. The Chair replied that the refusal to take it up was equivalent to a postponement. Mr. Breckinridge, of Ky., thought the de cision of the Chair correct, although before the motion was made by Mr. Douglas it was the duty of the Chair to announce that the resolu» Lion was before the Senate. Mr. Douglas, by the request of several gen tlemen, withdrew the appeal he had taken from the decision of the chair, saying that he could get at his object in another way, and open the debate. Tho Senate proceeded to the consideration of Mr. Fessenden’s resolution, by a vote of 2G yeas to 13 nays. Mr. Fessenden said he deemed it his duty to introduce the resolution, as exhibiting the position of the gentlemen therein named. The Constitution provides that seats in tho Sonate may become vacant by resignation or other wise. After declarations made by them, and their withdrawal, their Beats had become va cant, and there must bo some time when the Senate must act. Mr. Bayard, of Del., moved the following substitute: “That Albert G. Brown and Jef ferson Davis, of Miss.; Stephen R. Mallory, of Florida; Clement C. Olay, of Ala,; Robert Tombs, of G&., and Judah P. Benjamin, of Louisiana, having announced that, by the se cession of their respective States, they were no longer members of the Senate, and having withdrawn therefrom, the Secretary be directed to omit their names in calling the roll of the Senate.” Mr. Mason was perfectly satisfied that the gentlemen named in the resolution were not members of the Senate, and therefore, was willing to vote for the resolution endorsing the fact. He took it for granted that Mr. Fes senden meant no discourtesy by saying in the resolution, “ their names be stricken from the relL ” He suggested the substitution of the word, “omitted.” The resolution Implied that the seats were vacant from these States. For this, he could not vote. Mr. Fessenden accepted Mr. Mason’s verbal modification. Mr. Bayard moved to strike Mr. Brown’s name from Mr. Fessenden’s resolution, the latter not having made a declaration imputed to the others. Mr. Oollamer, of Vt., said the modification of the resolution required time for reflection. He moved to go into executivo session.

Washington City, March 14.—Chief Jus- tice Taney delivered the opinion of the Su. premo Court to-day in the matter of. the Pom mon wealth of Kentucky against the governor of Ohio, Dennison, deciding that a case of original jurisprudence and, in effect, of cue State ag&iost another, and therefore, the Court has jurisdiction under the constitution. It is a case to compel the governor of Ohio, by a writ of mandamus, to surrender a fugitivefrom justice from Kentucky. The Court Says that the demanding State has a right to have every Buch fugitive delivered; that the State of Ohio has no right to enter into the question as to whether the act of which the fugitive stands accused is criminal or not in Ohio, provided it was a crime in Kentucky, and it is the duty of the Government of Ohio to deliver up upon any proper proof; that the act charged ia a crime by the laws of Kentucky; that the act of 1793 determines that evidence is to be sub mitted to the State of Ohio; that the duty of the Governor is ministerial, merely like that of Sheriff or Marsha), and the Court appeals to his good faith in the discharge of a constitu al duty, for the reason that Congrcst cannot impose any federal duty on the officers of a State, and that where such officers are called upon by any act of Congress to perform such duty it conceives of good sense and good faith on their part, and on these grounds the writ of mandamus is refused. The opinions in the Albany and Hew Jersey Bridge cases are reserved for the next term in December, to which time the Court adjourned.

The Court said that measures would be at once taken to enforce the decree, and Judge Wayne said in conclusion, the future writer of the history of jurisprudence, will be obliged to register this celebrated case as the most remarkable.
