We announced last week the re.ig ' attion of Mr. Secretary Coss. SIM I . then lhaVe read his letter to the people of Georgia, setting forth the reasons which hiave induced him io take this step. It is end able, but of coarse we have not room for it. The substance, however, is that hh believes die republicans hate sla very and slaveholdeirs quite as much as they say. they do g and that the °Neat, which the party has in view is the ultimate ex finctian of slavery in the United States.— So far he holds them to be sincere. He regards Lincoln as4i:tiding sentiments more odious than thce of Seward, and says he was indebted to the obscurity of his position for his triumph at Chicago over his better knodn competitor. He quotes extensively both Lincoln and Seward and I other lights of the party to sustain this view. He says and shows that the whole strength of the party lies in hostility to slavery, and it can only be held together by carrying that hostility into effect. The anti-slivery legislation of the North has proven, he says, the shibboleth of the re , publican strength. The issue must now be met, or be abandoned forever; for on the fourth of March the Union formed by our fathers will be supplanted by a Union of sectionalism and hatred. Honor and fu ture security demand a separtion; and he calls upon the people of Georgia to be prepared on the fourth of March to an nounce and maintain their independence; and he will return to share in whatever destiny the future brae for the State and its people. We confess his idea of the re publican party is mainly correct, but we believe he overestimates the power-of that part) for injury to the South. If Mr. Coss would await the nest northern elections he would see what a wretched thing re .a.ll.ltranistn is in the einnion ()Nile North • bar We juKt now hear a good deal from the repuldican journals and orators about "Southern treason" and "southern trait- ON " Let us seta Who have set the first ex ample of treason. Let us see who have been committing treason all along back. Let us sett it there he not northern treason and northern traitors' as well as southern. In this regard we take Mr. Webster for an llama). Mr. WILBSTEIt ought to be good authority with such papers as the Gazette, which supported him in all.he said and did up to the time of his death. In a speech at Buffalo, Y , May 22, this great "expounder of the constitution" as the ()a:ate once took delight in styling him, said 'Ail judicial opinions are in tivor of this law. And yet this law is opposed, but not by bringing this question into court These lovers of human liberty, these friends of the slave, the fugitive slave, do not put their hands in their pockets, and draw funds to eonduct law suits and try the question. They are not much in that hab it That is not the way in which they show their devotion to liberty of any kind. But they meet and pas resoluttoru ; they resolve that the law is oppressive, unjust, and should not be executed at any rate. or under any circumstances. It has been said in the States of New York, Massactiu setts, and Ohio, over and over again, that the law shall not be executed. That was the language cif conventions in Worcester, Massachusetts ; an Syracuse, New York , and elsewhere. And for this they pledg ed their lives, their fortunes, and their ',ti ered honor' Now, gentlemen, then pro ee. drays— l say it upon my professional hon or—are dtstenetly ractawciaLs. "Resolutions passed in Ohio, curtain res olutions in Now York, anti in conventions held in Boston, are distinctly treasonable And the act of taking away rihadnteii from the public authorities in Reston, and send ing him off, was an act of CLEAR Tatssos I speak this in the hearing of men who are lawyers ; 1 speak it out to the country; I say it everywhere, on my professional reputation, IT WA., TREASON AND NOTHING El SE." This speech of Mr. WEMTER %VOA before the day of "personal liberty" laws, but be woula pronounce them also to be treason able in their nature, for they are the same in spirit :mil purpose as the resolutions which he pronounced treasonable. The North has been rife with reason for a doz en years past, and if there be now treason in the South, we see how it has come. The North will presently see into %that crimin al courses She has been led by the Sew arils and Stunners and Wades and Wilsons and liiddingres ail all the republican lesAlers whom she has trusted. lIMM:=MMII E PIiESIDENrS WI.AMATIHN Ntunerous appeals have been made to me by pious and patriotic association. and cuitens, in view of the pretteat distracted and dangerous condition of our country, to recommend that a day be set apart fur firy FASTINt. AND PRAYER through out the Union. • In compliance with their request and my own -tense of duty, I designate Fainsr, fra nil, or .Is% t sky, for this 311.1 recommend that the People assenthle on that day, according tritheir several Gam. of wot-hip to keep it as a solemn Fast. The Union of the States I. at the present moment threatened with alarming and oothishate (banger , panic and d istress of It fearful character prevail throughout the land, our laboring population are will t employment , an I consequently ilepriv isl of the means of earning their bread hope setuns to have ilumerled the minds of men. All classes are in a state confusion and dismay. and this ivise.t emineils of our hest and purest men are wholly disregarded. In this the hour of our calamity and t ieril to whom shall we resort for relief but to die t isxl of our fathers? His omnipotent arm only can 92ILVti Us from the awful et feels of our own crimes and follies- -our own ingratitude and gu il t to war d s our Il ea, venly Father. Let us, then, with deep contrition and penitent sorrow, unite in humbling our selvel before the Most High, in confessing our individual and national sins, and in acknowledging the justice of our putio,h rnent Let us implore Him to remove from our hearts the false pride of opinion which would Impel us to persevere in wrong for the sake of consistency, rather than }Lehi a just submission to the unforseen exigencies by which we are now surrounded: Let us with deep reverence beseech him to restore the friendship and good will which prevailed in former days among the people of the several States; and, above all, to save us from the horrors of civil war and - blood-guiltiness.!' Let our fervent prayers ascend to His Thtone that he would not desert us in this Hour of ext re me p er il, b u t remember us as hie did our fathers in the darkest days of the Revolution, and pre serve out Constitrition and our Union, the work of their hands, for ages yet to come. An Omnipotent Providence may over rule existing evils for permanent good.— He can make the wrath of man to praise Him, and the remainder of wrath he can restrain. Let me invoke every individual, in whatever sphere of life he may be placed, to feel a personal responsibility to God and his country for keeping this day holy, and for contributing all his power to remove our actual and impending calamities.

All the wide world over wherever the halo from that m. 0.- has shone, man will rejoice , for to him . tis as a beacon-light pointing the way back to that happy land from which the tempter hail se tjuced him. and, with tearful eye and heart eh rubbing with emotion, beside that cross I e will kneel praying that its cheering light way never heave him, and asking, in all hiimbleness forgiveness for his misdeeds Beside the 1., mestic hearth will there he sound of Joy an merriment, and the lung absent will return to fold to their lunging hearts their own again and man's bosom, long sealed up in selfishness Will turn towards his fellow creature, and to kens of love and kindness will b o th b e gi v en and received, fur 'tis a season of forgetfulness of "man's inhumanity to man " Let us at this blessed season, oh ' let us remember the poor, in their cold and cheerless homes They cow. er, and they are weeping, many of them with painful memories of happy days gone by ' Let us take by the hand that little sad and shiNer ing one, let us administer the cup to the pale and parched lip, and thus will the Great God give us a happy ehristmas , thus will we lie ntaije worthy of the Redeeme'rs . s happy home And now, reader, from out out Sanctum we wish you a happy Christmas Fur seventeen summers and winters we have sent the 06serr., to visit you every week on seventeen Christ was days we have wished you all the joys this world bestows : but we do it now, Editorially, for the last time oar There are :mule wonderful tales tut,l of the Canada Oil wells in which maw; of our citizens are interested Here is one related ht a correspondent of the Pamper!le P. , es, . Ittl in the rock is found in great oliantities Vaugh an drilled .14 feet ifthe rock and found a pur er and a inure dUrabie vein than has been found yet Dixon drilled 40 odd feet, and found plenty of oil Oil is at good demand at the wells Kelly sold the product of his well for the last three months, 1,000 barrels, for $l. OOO . at the well. It is a ready sale at the three 1..1- lars per barrel at the well, barrels found The Smiths bored a hole just below my house. 54 feet deep, when they.struck a vein of gas the bas came with such force that it blew their drills, 50 lbs weight, out of the hole and sev eral feet into the air. It blew dry black sand two hundred feet high for two hours, when the water came mired with sand and stones, from the size of a large apple down • two of the stones were large, weighing' 5 Ills each these it blew up about 50 feet into the air It is es (mated it threw out 1110 barrels of water a minute, to the height of 200 feet - I put fire to it about " o'clock at night, and though it fright ent,i me it was the finest thing I ever saw the flame rooe to the height of 230 or tit feet. with a heavy, booming noise like the Continual dis charge of heavy artillery at a 4151i - ince So great was the shock at my house that it rime near breaking the dishes in the cupboard, slick log then. is though they were in it car under full motion. The water and stones raised throu g h the fire, and parting, fell, forniiiig one of the finest sight• I ever saw At last it chok ed itp, 1 suppose by a large - stone getting in the mouth of the hole—when we were sati•fied and glad to put it out--and will not put tire ta it again until it is done throwing Stone. Ai - trio+l any one would be satisfied with that ex perience. we should think oar Vie are told by the Venang3 Sp.rf at", that the cash value of the daily yield of oil in that region is not less than ten thousand Suppose this rate of yield alone, to eon tiuue for one year, calculating three hundred working days in a ) ear, and we have three million dollars per annum, or twenty per cent on an investment of fifteen million. The cost of boring a well say three hundred feet deep, although that is beyond the average depth— with stem engines and evert thin , : is readiness for pumping, need not be 0% r hi :iiindres.l dollars. This estimate supposes oil found and the well ready for pumping. For the ptir• pose of (eating. a well can be sunk for one third of the above sum The seventy-five wells now yieldipg did not cost over 100.000 dollars - There are many more almost ready to cow mence pumping For the amount of capital invested, no business ever paid such an enor mous per centage as the oil business is now paying AIIZIPTS WANTID —The attention or perilous in went of employment, is directed to an ad vertisement in another column, fur canvassers for Township and Local Law's of this State -- Apylication must he made to Oeo W Arbuckle, at Erie, who is the General Agent fur Erie cuuwy -We obaerve, Ikbe censor returi., that Eriakowity low a I..•pulatiall ~ f r Num 1,47 1; wanufatlorteig s.
