& Co., is Dilworth & Ewing's storage
grounds, on which they have tankage
room for thirty five to forty thousand bar
rele•of crude oil. This firm are briskly
engaged in putting up the necessary ma
chinery for refining oil, and expect to be
in fnll operation in about two weeks, and
will be able to refine about three hundred
barrels per week. Here again we are
compelled to guess at the amount of capi•
tal invested, and will put it at $25,000.
A few steps further down the railroad
brought us to the oil yard of Mr. Birk,
whom we found in his office. He iniorm
ed us that he had storage room for fifty
thousand barrels of crude oil. But he has
determined to enlarge his business, and
to engaged in putting up the machinery for
an extensive refinery, which he assured
us he would have in operation in the
course of two or three weeks, when he
would be ableto refine about one thousand
and seventy five barrels of carbon oil
per week. Mr. Kirk estiruats hie lands,
machinery, &c , at $40,000.
Adjpining the grounds of Mr. Kirk are
those of Cochran 44 Co , and the Corn

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
An Afternoon Among Oil Re
fineries.
Enticed by the pleasant weather Thurs
day, we took passage on the street cars
for Sharpsburg. And speaking of street
cars, it may not be improper to aay that
they are a great institution, and were
never known to be so full but that one
more could not find room. But why are
they not propelled by steam'' They are
decidedly too slow for this fast age. A r
rived at the Sharpsburg bridge, we wend
ed our way on foot up the track of the
Allegheby, Valley Railroad a short diB.
Lance, until we reached the oil refinery of
Messrs Robert McKee & Co., situate on
the rank of the Allegheny river, on either
side of the track of the railway. Having
but a limited knowledge of the process of
refining the crude oil, and producing
therefrom carbon oil and naptha, as well
as of the extent to which the business was
carried on in our midst, we concluded to
spend the afternoon in an examination of
a few of the numerous refineries which
line the bank of the Allegheny river at
almost every step from the Ninth Ward to
Sharpsburg, and for miles above.
As before remarked, we stopped at the
refinery of Robert- McKee & Co. We
found Mr. McKee a very pleasant and
agreeable gentleman, ready and willing to
afford us any information in his power.
And indeed Mr. McKr , e seems to -under
wand thoroughly the modus operandi of
distilling carbon nil. He showed us
through his works, a'id minutely explain
ed the process of distillation, from the
pumping of the crude oil from the boats
in the river, to the barreling of the pure
carbon oil ready for market, ail of which
is performed through the instrumentality
of nicely adapted machinery. It is not
our design to give a description of the mi
nutia of the process of converting crude
oil into carbon oil. Suffice it to say that
it very much resembles the course pur
sued
in the distillation of whiskey, and I
through the aid of machinery thousands I
of barrels can be turned out in n short
space a time, and with but little manual
labor.
The machinery, and Indeed everything
connected with the refinery of the Messrs.
McKee, was in the finest order, a nd the
oil turned out by these gentlemen ranks
among the vary beat in toe market. The
refinery has a capacity for manufacturing
and refining one hundred and seventy•five
barrels per week, and, should the trade
demand it, might even double the amount
by . "running double turn." The pumps
used by the Messrs. Knox, as well as
by all the refiners along the river, is the
Wortrington patent, which is one of the
most useful auxiliaries in the business,
being constantly employed in throwing
water from the river into the " coolers,"
and in pumping the crude oil from the
boats to the tankst, some of which will hold
from'; 000 to 30,00 u barrels. The capital
invested in machinery. lands, &c., by the
Messrs. McKee, is estimated at $13,000.
.Schmertz & Bleakly, Wood street, are the
s for the MEEPTB. Knox.
Turning our steps homeward, we et op•
ped at the " Petrona" refinery, owned by
Graff, McKee & co. This eetablishmeet,
is also situate on the bank of the Alleghe
ny river, above the Sharpsburg bridge.
The manager of the works seemed to take
much pride in showing 13ft through them,
and cheerfully gave all desired informa
tion. We may here say that in all the re
fineries we visited, the mode pursued in
separating the pure from the crude oil, is
very nearly similar. The capacity of the
" Petrone ' works is two hundred barrels
per week, and could be greatly increased,
by running " double turn." The capital
invested in machine.iy, grounds, &c , by
the Petrona Company is set down at
30,000.
Just below the " Petrona " stands the
Iron City refinery, owned by Lyday &
Charpenning. This is a very extensive
establishment, and manufactures a supe
rior quality of oil. The works have a ca
pacity for refining three hundred barrels
per week. We could not astertain the
amount of capital invested; but take the
liberty of setting it down at $25,000
Below the bridge, a few hundred yards,
we came upon the refinery of Forsythe,
Bros. & Co. This is also an extensive es
tablishment, and is tamed for the purity
and brilliancy of its carbon oil. The pro
prietors have put up a monster tank which
holds the enormous amount of forty thou
sand barrels! These works turn out at
present one hundred barrels pure oil, and
the same amount of Naptha, per week,
Capital invested $40,000.
Close by the last named grounds is
the refinery of William McCune, which
turns out one hundred and thirty barrels
of carbon oil per week. Capital invested,
$20,000.
Next we came to the mammoth refinery
of Clara, Sumn(ir & Co., said to be the
largest and moat complete in the United
States. a notice of which we reserve for
another "afternoon among the refiners."
To BE ARGUED. — To-day, in the Dis
trict Court, the application for an in
junction to restrain the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago railroad from pro—
ceeding with the erection of their new
pier on Duquesne Way, will come lip for
argumen t. We shall endeavor to be pres
ent, and will advise our readers as to the
result of the application.
DELD: - Mr. John Sheriff, one of the
oldest and most respectable of our citi
zens, died, we regret to learn, Thursday, I
at his residence n New Brighton. He

Messrs. Maffit &Old are now the well

Proposition to Assist the P. it
C. Railroad Company
At the regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Co., held in Baltimore on
the 11th instant, the President submitted
for the action of the Beard documents
connected with proceidings to maintain
the rights of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company in cinuection with its
interests in the Pittsburgh and Cannella
villa Railroad Company, and also the fol.
lowing communication, which had been
addressed by him to the President of that
company, presenting his views regarding
the proper policy to be pursued for the
interests of the State of Maryland and the
city of Baltimore, and to insure satisfac
tory relations with and the early comple
of the road, viz :
"BALTINioaF, A.NO OHIO RAILROAD,

"Dear Sir .—I much regret.that many
important et:gfigemerd, , r f the most urgent,
character, connected with the affairs of the
company and the operations of the road
at this particular period, oleveot me from
attending the called meeting of the stock
holders of your company on the 12th in
stant. I would make it a point to be
present on that occasion were it in ray
power, not only as the representative of
the Baltimore and Ohio Company, but
for the purpose of removing intpreeeiotas
in regard to the course and policy of this
company which you inform me exist, and
which are. us far as I understand them,
moat unjust. a.
"I regard the complet'on of the P.l's
burgh and Connellsville road to Comb
land not only as a local but as a national
word of the first magnitude I am ire
pared as soon as a suitable contract I ir its
construction can he made, to re , c,..nirr , nd
to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany to aid it to the extent of one million
of dollars ; and I am altogether satisfied
that the regulations of the two companies,
looking to their successful working as a
through route, can be Oaced upon such a
basis as will produce the moat beneficial
results and which must prove mutually
satisfactory.
`'The comniunitic.e of Pittsburgh, Cum
berland and Baltimore, as Weil as the pop
ulations of the large portion of the terri
tories of Pennsylvania and Maryland with
which the line is identified, cannot fail to
be greatly and permanently benefitted by
its construction. Wirh the aid the Balti
more and Ohio Company can extend, and
the legislation that the city of Baltimore
will in all probability grant, or which may
be obtained under the operation of its ex•
lacing ordivam.ft, and with the practical
co-operation of the great interests con
nected with flat route. there should be no
question that the through connection b
tween Baltimore and Pittsburgh can be
established within a brief period. or in
deed as rapidly as the labor can be pro
cured for its construc.ioe
"I should have b-on happy to have had
an opportunity of presenting these views
to the stockhcidere cf your Company in

A cavalry reconnoissance made on the
right to within a few miles of Madison
Court ROll,-e I.:nnd no rebels, bnt the
bodies of the dead—one killed by Kilpat
rick in his late advance upon thh,t village
--lay upon the ground where they fell.
Clark and Thoroughfare Mountains are
again occupied as rebel signal stations,
and nearly every movement of Meade's
can be clearly seen from theso natural
lookouts. The rebel earthworks at Bar
nett, Rappahannock, and Germania fords,
thrown up in October, are being enlarged
and strengthened, and a line of rise pits
extends farther up the hill. It is thought
hardly possible that Gen. Meade will at
tack these strongholds in front.
CAIRO, Nov. 13.—The Memphis Bulle
tin of din 11th inst,, gives the particu
lars of the burning of the steamer Allen
Collier. She was lying twenty five miles
above the mouth of White river and
within five hundred yards of the gunboat
Eastport whin!. waq covering her landing,
when she cm: attacked by guerrillas. Capt.
Bartho'omew, commander of the gunboat,
was on board the Collier at the time she
was captured, together with the Captain's
crew of the steamer. The gunboat would
have shelled the guerillas but they protect
ed themselves. With the Captain and
crew they had captured, after setting fire
to the boat, they marched the prisoners
three miles into the country when they
liberated the Captain and crew of the Col
lier, but retained Captain Bartholomew.
The number of prisoners of war now in
the military prison have increased to near
ly four thousand. They cannot really be
called prisoners of war, they being deser
ters
from the rebel army, and some of
whom have laid around in the woods for
fifteen months awaiting an opportunity to
come into our lines to take the oath of al
legiance, for which purpose they will be
sent to St. Louis.
SANDUSKY, 0., Nov. 13.—Everything is

in readiness and with the troops now here
and those on their way to Johnson's
Island and Sandusky, we are considered
safe beyond a doubt. Batteries have been
posted to fully command the entrance to
the harbor and would sink any vessel et
tempting to enter the bay.
BOSTON, Nov. N.—The legislative spe•
cial committee of thirty two have agreed
to report a bill to morrow for the payment
Of a bounty in hand of $BOO over and
above all others, for recruits. This is
contrary to the Governor's suggestion, and
will excite a warm debate.
A bill was introduced, without opposi
tion, to pay thsocolored regiments enough
from the State Treasury to make their pay
amount to that of white troops.
DETROIT, Nov. 18.—The steamer Len
hart arrived to-night from a reconnoit
ering expedition of sna_peeted paints of
the north shore of Lake Erie, and reports
no indications of hostile expeditious t
and it is_doubtftil if any exists.

Pork Packing.
The regular pork packing season wi 1 commerce
next week if the weathe , remains favorable.
`everal droves of hogs, which have been pur
chased by our packers, have already arrived in
the city, and some of the packers havelmp in
pens. hi curs, Hoffman, Duncan 81 Co. yesterday
took advan , sge of the weather and were killing
all day, This is the first lot of hogs teat have
been slaughtered in our city this season We un
derstand that Messrs. Hamilton g Bros, will
commence killing to-day, as they have a consid
erable number in pens.
The general impreion m s laug h t er pao
is that the number of h sgs ted around
the falls this season w.,1 be as laree as that of las:
season, The hogs that haw: arrived so fay are
I , ght, asd there will probably be a falling on in
their weight this year as compared with that of
prdvious years. 'The traar actions are limited, as
farmers are asking more than our packers are
w (ling to pay, the price offered being $4 at the
pens, which is equal to 15 75 net and this is fally
equal to the p;ice offerei by the paokers
other cities.—Loulsvilie Democrat.
