Poor wretches, what a come down it will bo for many of them! They have strutted a brief hour, bloated with self-conceit, full of self imporUnco, and often insolent and ov-er bearing in their manners.

Poor men need tremble no longer for lear they will lo draggea oy iorco irom iiietr homes ; wives will rejoice to know that their husbands are at last "out of the draft," and children no louger dread tho turning of tho "fated wheel.'' Wo hope this country may never see a Pro. vost Marshal's office opened in it again. In any ordinary war conscription never need be resorted to among our people.

It is with great pleasure wo record tho gratifying intelligence that the Po cahontas well, below Deer Creek, com menced on Wednesday last to flow oil, of a superior quality, at the rate of about CO barrels per day. In company with sotuo friends, we started to Doer Crock, after dinucr, on Wednesday, not dream, ing of seeing a flowing well. Along tho way wo met several persons who inform, ed us that the Pocahontas well ww flowing oil. On arriving on th ground we tound tho information correct. The engine was standing still, but the ga was roaring in the tubing and flowing out into tho tajik a large stream a beau, tiful amber colored oil. Sometimes il would throw the oil clear across tfye tault, which is ten feet wide then subside in to a small stream ; but most of the ti it flowed a steady stream about 83 hir as could come through an inch tube' has been variously estimated at lrom5t' to a 75 barrel well. Wo only stayed about half an hour, and from measuring the oil in the tank, aud timing the stream our opinion is that it was then yielding at the rato of fully GO barrels per day. This well belongs to the Pocahontas Oil Company which is ono of ten oon. solidated campanies called "The Beaver Oil companies of Deer Creek an 1 Clar ion River." Gco.J. Ilenkles, Esq., of Philadelphia is President. The well ii situated on the west bank of ,ho Clarion river, about 50 rods below the mouth of tho mouth of Deer Creek. It U 208 feet deep. The tubing waa put down on Wednesday, and pumping commenced at 10 o'clock, A. M. It immediately began to yield oil, and at 12 o'clock, when it had only pumpod two hours, it began to (low. Tho oil is about tho same quality as that produced by tbc Whitchill well, situate half a mile up Deer Crock, which has been pumping iu or iz uarrois per aay, lor aoout two weeks It is 12 gravity, and from Of to 05 per cent, pure illuminating oil J and now while common crude oil, which yields CO or 70 per cent, is worth $1'.' rer barrel, we tiresume the Clarion oil i- worth at least 815 per barrel. A 5'f barrel well, even, nt this rato will nol its owners over 20,000 a month. Deer Creek, Pinoy Creek, which emp ties iuto tho Clariou river, Brush Run, nud other streams in the same neigh, boibood, are now becoming noted oil territory, and operators are buying the. land up at fair prices.
