TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1864'
ELECTION IN LOUISIANA.
Gen. BANKS has ordered an election to
take place in Louisiana, in pursuance, as
he - announces, of authority vested in him
. . .
•by the President of the United States."
Thie electidn is to be conducted on the
'!one.tenth" principle, and that is to be
constituted as the managers of the con
test may see St. A New Orleans correa•
ponclent-alltt*g to jt lemarks:
"The great object of this movement is
to ineure ; and -perpetuate power. With
the Itirtistration • it is Wei greatest -move
yet made on the chess-board, for when
once carried into effect it will be impossi-
ble during the next quarter of a century
to displace Its friends from the control
ling offices of the "country. In every south
ern state where the federal armies may
have a foot-hold, state Governments are
to be organized, the voters of which are
to be only those who can pronounce the
Ibibholeth of the administzation. The ala
I Wiirifteitfift efietilelitid now because it is
the most distasteful, and will exclude all
but the most extreme of radicals and the
most debased and cringing of the sub-
.iugate,/,"
A tenth of such materials—calling in
the aid of sojourning teamsters, sutlers
speculators and even soldiers, it neces. ,
nary, to make up the number—will send
representatives to Congress, elect a legis
lature which will chose Senators and e! ec
tors for President of the United States.
It will come to pasa_in, those days that
FATHER ALRARAX will have the nnan
moos vote of all the Southern States
which will be represented on the total
population basis by this vote, not only in
the electoral college, but in Congress and
in the Senate. With this assurance of
strength in•his bands, with his "rotten
boroughs" to offset against any opposition
wiirch may be made factiously against
him by New York er Pennsylvania, at
any other Northern State, he can tri
umphantly meet his enemies at the pone
secure of victory. When Mr. SEWARD de
clared that Mr. LINCOLN must remain
President until he was elected by the whole I
Unitel Staten, many thought he fore- 1
shadowed a violent retention of the
presidential office as a "military meal
nre;" but it is now evident that it was,
intended by shams—which should repre
sent Republican Governments, in which
the men, stipendiaries of the Government
and paupers fed on the refuse of its camps,
are the puppets which appear to put them
in motion—to cause the ostensible vote of
the Southern States to be cast for him.
The war was begun for party purposes ;
it baa been waged for party purposes, and
its early close is prevented that party pnr
poses may be attained. The great object
now sought is to prevent the Southern
• people from returning to the Union fold
in sufficient numbers to control the elec
tion in their several States. By placing
before them a degrading and unnecessary
condition to their exercise of the elective
franchise this end is attained. With
military Governors and department com
manders, and the whole civil and military
authority of the administration to prevent
any dissentient expression of opinion,
'there is little likelihood that any will have
utterance; thus in subjugating the Swab
he also controls the North, and that, too,
by the Republican expedient of the ballot
box. Every man is a rebel who does not
vote to sustain all the war measures
One of these now is to enable these new
fangled Southern State Governments to
control the closely balanced divisions at
the North.
THE ONE•T ERTH IDEA
Dr. BRONSON of 13BoxsoN's Review, the
great Catholic theologian and controver-
Ballet, who has for some time been a
shining light in the Abolition party, has
brought her great powers of logic to the
consideration of President Lllicotar's plan
for reconstructing the Union. The learn•
ed reviewer is, as usual, entirely remorse
less. He tears old Ass's scheme into
tatters and scatters it to tfie winds.
He conclusively reasons that a State
with nine•tenths of its population
disloyal and excluded from the ranks of
its political people, evidently could not
sustain itself and discharge its proper
functions as a State in the Union. It
would have to be held up and nursed by
the government, and thus would be open
ed the door to political intrigue and cor
ruption, exceeding anything we have yet
known. Its representatives in Congress
would be virtual nominees of the admin•
istration, and the congressional districts
would be only so many "rotten boroughs"
owned by the Government. No election
would or could be free. Besides, , with
here and there an individual exception,
the men who would take the oath and be
allowed to vote would be the weakest and
least energetic portion of the population.
The portion of the Southern people who
have the most character and are the best
fitted to govern and look after the inter
ests of the State or the Union are precise.
ly those who would be excluded by the
test oath. The majority of the voters
would be composed of Government em
ployes, adventurers from other States,
with very little honesty or principle of
any sort, and without any permanent in•
Wrest in the State or connection with it.
We cannot underiftand why one Union
man in South Carolina, Tennessee, or

these, have a federal reprsentation and an

QUARTERLY TRADE CIRCULAR
We have before us the January number
of this invaluable paper published and
edited by GEORGE H. THURSTON, esq., of
this city, and devoted to general and spe
cial statistics, manufactures and com
merce. This paper has now been before
the public for more than two years, and
seems to have more reputation abroad
than at home, which is not at all flatter•
ing to a great manufacturing centre,
which has been constantly craving a fit ex
positor of its wealth and rapidly increas
ing trade. Mr. THURSTON has at least the
confidence of our leading manufacturers
and business men and has thus been en
abled to place before the public correct sta
tistics of our leading products and valliab!e
information upon other matters affecting
our general interests.
A tolerable amount of city pride if not
a direct pecuniary interest on the part of
manufacturers, would justify a suitable
salary to such a man as Mr. THURSTON,
who would time be enabled to devote hie
whole time to the collection of facts and
their publication at home and abroad,
giving to Pittsburgh and its tributaries
the value and importance they deserve.
Ln the language of the day and which
everybody understands, "it would pay."
Revision of the State Revenue
No subject likely to come before the
present session of our Pennsylvania Leg•
islature is of more real importance than
the revision of the Revenue laws of the
commonwealth, with a view to increasing
the financial resources of the State. This
has long been sorely needed, and the
pressing necessities incident to the events
of the war have'at length brought things
io a crisis when action must be had. It
is plain that no relief is to be looked for
by means of any reduction of expend
ituree, because the machinery of the
State is already very simple and expensive,
and the demands arising, and likely to
arise, are consequent upon the duties of
the State in the pending war, and other
unavoidable causes.
In the affair of the interest on our State
debt our expenses have increased heavily
by the difference in value between specie
and currency, and if the interest is to be
paid in specie, so long as this difference
continues the means must . be raised in
some other way than by equee7ing the
State banks. Then we have clamorous
demands that the State shall offer bounties
to volunteers, and demands for payment
of damages suffered during the rebel in
vasions, &c.
The first thing to be done it the way o
a change is to revise the 'node of asses:
merit and collection of State taxes. It i
the opinion of gentlemen in the interior,
who have studied this subject, that the
revenue can be largely increased by this
means alone. The State loses heavily in
the assessment of property, and still more
heavily in the costly, cumbrous and an
tiquated machinery for collection. Far
better systems may be easily devised, and
will work a great reform in our State
finances.
But it is undeniable that additional
taxation is necessary, and the embarrass
ing question is as to the new sources of
revenue, considering the searching inter
nal revenue system of the national gov
ernment and the taxation for local pur-
poses in many sections. Corporations
have been hitherto regarded as such fair
game that it is difficult to see how that
source can be better explored. Still it is
believed that in this every matter taxes
may be levied which will yield much
money. It has been suggested by shrewd
financiers that any new taxation in this
direction should be general and sweeping
in its character, and be upon the gross
receipts of railroads, canals, banks, in
surance oompaniea, coal companies, &c.
We suggest these points merely to call
the attention of our readers and thinkers
to what is proposed, in order that what
ever information they may be in posses
sion of on the subject, or whatever plans
may occur to them, should be placed i❑
such a way as to be accessible to those
who are now charged with the decision of
the matter.—North American.
Obituary,
DEATH OF AN OLD PRINTKR.—It iB with
regret we record the decease of John M.
Elliott, mi., the oldest printer, at the
time of his death, in the United States.
He was prominent and much respected in
his business, having peen connected with
the old New York American and a num
ber of other publications. Daring his long
career in business in this City, of nearly
fifty years, he was noted for 'AM honest,
straightforward course, exhibiting an in
tegrity and a devotion that was unparal
leled. As a matter of history, interesting
to old citizens, it may be stated that Mr.
E. was the only survivor of the celebrated
Miranda expedition fited out in 1804 in
this city, against the Spanish Main, he,
with the late Mr. Thomas Gill, of the
Evening Star, and others, having been
enveigled, by representations that they
were going to New Orleans as printers.
Mr. E. was long confined in a Spanish
prison. Until a few years ago he was ac•
tively engaged in the printing business in
this city, but his health failing him,
through age, he retired to his home in
Jersey City, where he died on the 21st inst.
at the age of eighty years.
A CERTAIN Scotch friend of ours, who is
not a member of the temperance sOdiety,
be ing asked by a dealer to puchase some
fine old Jamaica rum, dryly answered,
"To tell you the truth, sir, I canna sat
I'm very fond of rum ; for if I tak main
than six tumblers, it's very apt to give a
body the headache."
A2f old Scottish woman, wishing to

Creek. Some pardon are becoming con!'
siderable exercised. ahotit...Lkti Matter, yet
we do not feel that there litany jest
grounds for serious alarm. The daily
yield has decreased in the past few weeks
very materially. The yield six weeks ago
was estimated at 6,500 barrels. The yield
today will hardly reach 4,000 barrels.
The past few weeks have been very unfa
vorable for the producing business, the
weather being too cold, in consequence
of which but few cf the pumping wells
have been in operation. It may be pos-
Bible that the excessive drought of last
summer exercised some influence. For
it is a fact patent to all miners, that the
wells produce;more when the atmosphere
is moist and heavy than when it is clear
and light. The reason of this we think
is, that the gas which forces the oil to the
surface generates more rapidly in wet or
moist weather, and possesses greater pro•
pelling force, than in clear weather. Such
appears to be the case any how. How
correct our theory is we leave to philos•
ophers to determine.
Bat it is clear that some measures must
be taken to keep up the supply, if the
means heretofore need should fail. The
past season has not been so productive in
its results as many were led to expect.
The Noble and the Maple Shade Wells,
are the only considerable ones that were
struck and continue to flow now. Several
others of smaller size were struck, but
being in , ,erfered with by other wells in
the immediate vicinity, did not amount
to much. This was especially the case
upon the Story Farm. No less than five
wells apparently connected, any one of
which would have flowed 250 barrels per
day, have been rendered practically value
less, from the fact that the taking up of
the tubing from any one of these would
cense the stoppage of the other four by
flooding them with water. The Phillips
Woodford Wells, both of good size, say
300 to 400 barrels, on the Tarr Farm, at
Ifected each other similarly. The new well
of H. 0. Filkins, on the Blood Farm,
affects several wells in its immediate vi
cinity, flooding them with water when
ever the tubing is removed from the well.
We could cite numerous other instances
of the same kind, in localities along the
creek, but these will suffice.
From this we are inclined to think that
the wells4are becoming too numerous along
the Darrow valley where the oil is obtain•
ed. Many wells have been bored to a
depth of five hundred feet or more. and
failing to obtain oil have been abandoned.
The wastage of gas and the water courses
which have been opened in these, have
produced the results we have spoken of
upon the producing wells in their imme.
diate neighborhood.
If, after cleaning cut and fixing prop
erly these wells, that have been bored down
to the depth c f say 5211 feet, they are not
found productive, but two plans seem
feasible to us, in order to keep up the
supply. The first is to stop up the no
producing wells, by putting down a seed•
bag, attached to inch-tubing, or a sucker
rod, below the water courses and effect
ually close these, so that they will not in
terfere with the producing wells. Thus,
all interference by either water or west
ing gas would he avoided. The abandon
ed wells of course would have to Le de
clared forfeited by the land owner granting
the original lease. Land owners, in grant
ing leases should make it a specification
that all wells bored to a ceriain depth,
and abandoned for a certain time, should
be forfeited, and then have them stopped
up. We have every reason to believe
that this plan would be au etreetual one.
It Is worthy of a trial, at any rate.
The second plan to to bore the wells
which have produced oil, such as the
Sherman, Empire, Van Slyke and others,
deeper. '1 ass plan has many advocates,
and has been successful in several :nstat.•
ces. The latest Inetat.L.e, of this kind is
the Lloyd Weil, which is nptteed in an -
other column. his welt was first bored
and struck oil, some three years ago.
Not being property managed, it was soon
rendered non productive. The depth of
the well was then 486 feet. During the
past season, Mr. Lloyd bored it down to
a depth of about sixty feet farther. He is
now rewarded by an huedr , 'I barrel well.
which in the course nt a few weeks will
reward him for all Ls expense and
labor. Doubtless many other wells could
be rendered equally as productive by the
employment of similar means. There is
as good reason to believe in the existence
of a fourth, fifth, or in fact any number of
sandstones, where oil can be obtained,
as there was in existence of the second or
third. And we cannot see why it is not
just as reasonable to suppose that oil will
be obtained at the depth of one, or even
two thousand feet, as it was at a depth of
from one to five hundred feet.
From the frequent striking of mud
veins, it is assigned by some that the oil
supyly is becoming exhausted, and that
these mud•veins are the bottom or bed of
the deposit. It so, there is morn reason
to bore deeper, and see if other deposits
of oil cannot be found still below these.
We should be glad if some movement. of
this kind should be put on foot, and would
be happy to hear from our oil miners, of
their practical experince in order that we
can publish their views for the general
benefit. In conclusion we reassert that
we do not feel alarmed for the failure of
the present supply but think it would be
advisable to take all necessary measures
to secure a permanent supply for the
future.
Fox's Challenge
The challenge of Assistant Secretary
Fox has satisfied no one but the North
American, and even that organ of loyalty
must be a little disconcerted by a letter
from Mr. E. N. Dickinson which appear
ed in yesterday's World. That gentleman
writes as follows :
"The effect which this bold challenge
has naturally produced is, that the Sec
retary at least believes that he has some
sea going steamer, made on the plans
peculiar to the navy, which is faster than
the fastest ship in the world, and that he
is anxious to subject his belief to a test.
If he did not mean that, he has been very
careless in hie language.
"If, however, he did mean to convey
that impression to the public by the ohal
lenge, then it is the most transparent de
ception which ever bore the sanction of
high position, and ought to destroy what
ever confidence yet remains in its author.
The fact is that the Eutaw, the vessel he
proposes to run against the Adriatic, is
not a man-of war or a sea going vessel at
all, but a large aide-wheel ferry-boat, with
a rudder at each et,d,built to go uplagoons
where an ordinary vessel could not turn
round, of light draft, full of boilers and
engines ; constructed as all the Brooklyn
ferry-boats are, with an inclosed engine,
and with an independent cut off exactly
like that used by the Vanderbilt, invented
and patented by Mr. Stevens ; whereas,
the man of-war, whose slowness has been
the subject of 'charges against the Navy
Department,' are built without an inde
pendent cut—off, and in consequence can't
go nine miles an hour. She is the mate
of the Agawam, which attempted to carry
soldiers out of Boston up the coast, but
'Could not donblethe cape, and was com
pelled to return, au account of which was
published in all the papers on the 18th of
December, as follows :
BOSTON, Thursday, December 17.
-Tie guigkeet! Agawam experienced very
heavy gales .azif Was actable to - double
Cape Sable. She therefore was obliged
to retuvh r ApAci, wet built only for a river

Besides this, hit::; Dickinson says of
these "ferry- boats'

burned they are the slowest boats in the
country. r
Third. That for the uses for which they
were made—to go up rivers—they are
good for nothing, because a twelve-pound
shot would atop them anywhere."
This should be enough, but he adds an
offer to bet $5OOO (for the benefit of the
Sanitary Commission) that not oa of
Secretary Welles' sea-going steamers
cam make nine miles an hour. To which,
the North American says what?
The Piety of a Republican
Senator
0o e J. J. Owen, a member of the Cal•
ifornia Senate, is the editor of St. Jose
Mercury, in that State. On Thanksgiving
Day he penned an editoral article, in which
he said :
"All who believe in an overruling
Providence are called upon this day, by
the President of the United States, to lay
aside their temporary avocations, and
unite in offering up to that Being the tri
bute of thanksgiving and praise for His
many blessings. We have cause for abun
dant joy in that our:armies have been able
to kill a goodly number of traitors during
the past, year, and to send their unshrived
souls to hell, where it is;to be hoped that
the billows of remorse will wash over them
for several ages. We have reason to be
thankful that the Army of the Potomac is
expected soon to cross the Rapidan with
ten days rations, and hopeful that it may
not return before the rations are exhaus
ted. We ought to bless his holy name for
the invention of Greek fire, gunpowder,
and ten•inch shells, for these things will
have their holy uses in elevating the hu
man race."
Owen is probably graduating for a poßt
ical preacher, -and who may become the
compeer of such pious men as the Rev.
Starr Ring and Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.

From the New York Round Table
Not only the overthrow of the rebellion
as a military power, but the complete sub
jugation of the Southern people, until they
are so utterly crushed and humbled as to
be willing to accept life on any terms, is
the essential condition of the President's
scheme. It may therefore prolong the
war; and alter the war is substantialy end
ed, it may defer the day of reunion and
peace. It connot be doubted that the
President contemplates all this, and that
in his mind, the removal of slavery beirg
considered the most essential condition
of the most desirable and permanent peace,
be felt J ustified in incurring great evils for
the sake of a greater ultimate good.
In plain English we are informed, that
in order to abolish slavery, the war is to
be prolonged, and the day of the restore
Lion of the Union deferred.
