John Minor Botts, in a letter to the Richmond Examiner, a few days since, observed that those engaged in the rebel lion had no conception at first that it would reach its present condition ; ii they | had they never would have gone into iL There can be, but little, if any doubt oi the truth oi Mr. Borrs’ obser vation. Everywhere in the rebellious States—but especially in Eastern Virginia —blast aad desolation have followed our conquering legions. These results were frequently predicted, in the event of hos tilities once commencing. The Southern leaders now see hopeless is their cause, but they also see a predetermination upon the part of the Abolition leaders to prolong hostilities, | until the Southern country is utterly sub jugated. This was not anticipated by JsFr. Davis, or that crafty individual would not have counseled the firing upon Sumter, in order ‘‘to fire tho Southern heart.” But did Davis and Stekpheks and their I leading coadjutors believe, that tho firing | upon a Southern fort->would inaugurate a I war which would end in their prostration ; I it were folly to think so. They had too I many assurances from Northern men, of I Edward Eterltt’s character and ability, I to induce them to conclude otherwise. In | yesterday’s Post , in commenting upon I that gentleman’s oration at Gettysburg, I we quoted from hia speeches and letters I of 1860 and *6l. He had been a candi-J date for Vice President of the United I States, upon the Amerioaa ticket, and his utterances were taken as those of his party throughout the country, North ard South. He deprecated everything look ing to coercion, and was sustained by hie party everywhere. So wiLh numerous I Democrats, who are now leading Aboli lipnistß; they, too, nGt only condemned everything like coercive measures against Sovereign States, but promised to inter-1 pose to save any State threatened by the 1 General These patriots, however,rafter our troubles began were the first to rush to the embrace of Abolition ism ; and, they have, ever Bince, been counselling the most violent measures for d — a —«4-’~ Lastlfi the real, against blood, lettiDg, which made the prospective rebels doubly sure of a peaceable separation ; these indications and assurances lead the South to inaugu rate what has proved to them and to us all a most terrible and desolating war. We-cannot better conclude than by copy ing the following from the New York Tribune .* • from The Tribune of Nov. 9. 1860. If-kboCotton States *hall become satisfied that they ©an dc better out of the Union than in it, weinstet on letting them join peace. The right to reoede ma' be a revolutionary one, but It ex ists nevertheless. * * We must ever resist the right of any State to remain in the Union and nullify anddefy the laws thereof. To withdraw frotn the Union is quite anothor matter, and whenever a’considerable seotion of our Union shiU deUfceifctely resolve to go out, we shall re sist all qoeroive measures designed to keep it in.

The Pittsburgh Commercial Pointing Company having, tired in their efforts at personalities, have resorted to the well worn dodge of moderation. Whether thio arises from a genuine con version, or-is bnt a mere pretense, we leave subsequent -events t-o more develops. We codßidfer' the change too sodden to be real. From ttiß second or third day ol its ex istence, the Commercial has not been the exemplary concern it wonld have os be lieve. It commenced in regard to this paper by opening its columns to an anony mous .and ruffianly attack npon ite editor ; audita last Monday’e issue it had an edi toridlin Srhfch observations as "the dog returning, " ic., and em phatic. -W e, therefore, coaclnde that the reformation, indicated by the Commercial is bnta sham, intended to divert attention from it,-while it is engaged in preparing a seriea of-crushing assanlts opon its nnsns peeling neighbors. We copy, however, the fol Wing promise qf good conduct hereafter, although it is given under the pretext of admonition to the Post ■ In'onr jadgment the eonduotors of I■ ur.’ 1 e loaaiaß are anaer a sreat-mistake whenever they nidu gejn gross Iroffen iveepithete as ap pticaoie tOr food eftn racier public stations. „ f"N ps «‘ ,h J'’ 6nQt ttrei mnoh better our selvM.tntQiir temper is not easily ruffled Now. lor tteSake of an honorable erofeasioa and of our city,' wo hppO'nn end may be but to all anrh ? la , u «, We dono! bflttovßiueh tluE t 3 hurt any bodj but theanlhoja. still wa hope our city w 11 no moi o baaiSiTaced by the apparent enocn.a.c ment given to * paper Indnlginv habitually m suoh vulgtf along. 7 The principal point of this is the im portant annouocement that (“tee") the edi tors of the Commercial have suffered in common with ethers of equally good char acter. But those occupying the most lofty and delicate positions in the Com monwealth, and who had no opportunity of defending themselves, appear to be the very ODes whom the Commercial most de lighted in assailing. How was this? Since the first issue of our neighbor, no two gentlemen in the State, have receiv ed the same amount of personal and cow ardly abase as has been heape’d upon Judges Woodwxbd and Lowius; it is scarcely necessary to inform onr readers or tbe Commercial either which paper in Pittsburgh rendered itself mostcontemp tible in this Shameless crusade. THE PITTSBURGH POST: WEDNESDAY MORNING.

In the meantime, we desire to return to it the assuT&Qce of Our profa]iii<l Cousidera tion, hoping that gentlemen of exalted character and talents, like its numerous editors and proprietors, may be spared the 1 infliction of “grossly offensive epithets.’' History of the Discovery of Petro It is one of the most remarkable things connected with the immense trade sud denly springing up from the distillation of our coal oil, that while the existence of oil springs has been known from the Bios? remote antiquity, the knowledge should never have been turned to any I great practical purposes uutil our own I times. Nothing will show more complete | ly the value of that sort of practical edu cation and intelligence which is common in America, than this simple fact. Here I is a substance which the oldest naturalists lof the world, such as Pliny, have written I upon, which Tacitus and Vitruvius have I both mentioned, yet never turned to any I practical utility of moment until witbiu a I tew years, by a gentleman (Colonel Drake) I from Connecticut, the very central land ot I all Yankee notions. The oldest allusion to it probably ib in 1 Deut. 32: “He made him to suck oil out of the flinty rock.” At least it is well known that m the thicker and more resi nous form of solid bitumen it is found in quantities on the shores of tho Dead Sea, and for thousands ot years has been called “Jews’ pitch” ou this account. StraDge to soy, Herodotus mentions a spring of , th\B sort of oil io one of the lonian isles I recently relinquished by the British gov I eminent, no dpubt asignoraut of its valut as the Mexicaas of the gold of California. Bat for more than two thousand years in the island of Zaute, that oil spring has been flowing and known in history, its I value alone unknown. At Agrigentum, I in Sicily, the petroleum was collected and I used in lamps before the Christian Era, rb I a substitute for oil. This has been the I case also, for ages past, in Burmah, near I Rangoon, ard now higher up the river | Imwaddy very large springs are being dis I covered. At Bakoo, on the Caspian, from I tho most remote ages, ibis oil has been I worshipped, but never, turned to any I practical account of consequence, and I certainly never developed as within the (past five years by Americans, although it I seems that about three million francs' I worth has been annually sold to Persia. I In Parma and Modena oil wells have I been dug for the last two hundred years I But as no method of purifying these oils I have been adopted, they have never risen I to much value. I Jr Pennsylvania, while the French oc- I cupied Fort Duqueene, opposite Pnts- I bargh, the Commander wrote to General I Montcalm of attending a meeting ot in I dians on Oil Creek, which at night was I suddenly lighted up by setting fire to the I oil floating on the surface of the lake, just I after the manner of the fire worshipers ou I the Caspian. J In Ohio, in boring for salt springs a j vein of thiß oil was struck, and as early as I 1828, in the American Journal of Science , it was predicted that tins sort ot oil would be valued some day for lighting the streets of the citiesjof Ohio. Yet it was not till for oil, takingum6, EAr-t£&*d..,hnred the above accidental result of borieg be cause others were making oil by distilla tion from the coal. Four or five years before this a Mr. Young, in England, had distilled some of this sort of oil, that had exuded in the coal pits, but the supply giving out, had taken ont a patent for dis tilling the cannel coal. This had been done successfully in this country, but of course from the moment ot the discovery of this method of getting tho raw oil, the whole of that business was superceded. Perhaps nothing can more fully show the boundless stores of wealth laid up in every land for the use of man, to be de veloped by industry and education ; nothing can more fully show the advan tsges to every country of that diffusion o: education, and those habits of thoughts so common in America, and so uncommon everywhere else. Now the connty sur rounding this discovery is rapidly be coming one of the most popnlonß and wealthy in the interior of the State, railroads are being bnilt to carry the oil, and onr cities are being built up by he trade and refinement of it. Horrible Heath —A Parmer has a Stake Driven Through his Vitals. From the Dubuque limes, Nov. 18th, On Friday, John Barry, of Bausion settlement, lowa township, some twenty miles from the city, came to town with a couple of loads of prodneo, bringing one with,his own team, and the other with an ox team which ho borrowed from one of his neighbors, and employing a German to drive it for him. From overheating or some other cause, one of the oxen died shortly after their arrival here. The produce was disposed of on Friday evening, and on Saturday Mr. Barry and his assistant started to go home. The ox wngon was attached to Mr. Barry's and the single ox tied to It. They had thus gone thirteen miles toward home, when, about nine o'clock in the evening, in doing up a small hill, the team in the darkness ran the wagon over a stump by the side of the road, which completely overturned it. The, German jumped out of the reach of the harm and thus saved himself; but with Barry this was impossi ble Several months ago he met with a severe fall, which broke his thigh, and at this time he was unable ;to walk without the assistance of a cane.' He could not, therefore, jump, and was consequently overturned with the wagon, the whole weight of which came npon him. _ One of the stakes struck him upon the side and was driven completely through him. In its passage all his ribs were crushed, and tbe heart torn from its place. Of coarse instant death was prpduced. The German had to go a mile from the place where the accident occurred before he could obtain assistance. The wagon was righted, the body placed in it, and he finally arrived home with it about one o clock Sunday morning. pfr - Barry was a well to do farmer and had lived in lowa township for more than ten years, and is said- to have been id ail rudpecLi a good citizoo. A Qcaxsb wedding jocently came off u, a private house iu Newport, R. I. The neighbors and friends of the parties were present iu considerable numbers all eager to witness the ceremony. ’ The guests seated themselves according to the cnßtom of the Friends in general, and waited in silence for the service to com mence. For one hour and a hall not a word was spoken nor scarce a move ment made. At the expiration of that time the spirit moved the parties to ac tion, and the groom and bride took each other by the hand ane offered and receiv ed the marriage vows. Thus Joseph and Mary became one after the simple and empressive manner of their people. A max has sued a London photograph LSi for the price paid for two cartes de visile.
