Panui Housn, Prruora Crry, July 16, 1865. 1 am writing this in a rough frame building located on brated farm, on which:i# situated the renowned United States well on Pithole creek. In the pine car- poted: parlor—well scrubbed pine: boards—a young lady has been grossly banged and whanged on the dreadfully rough.eed rugged path from civilization to this, the new and wonderful Oil Dorado of Western Pennsylvania. In the midst of the bewilderment occasioned by the extra- ordinary scenes that surround ine, permit me to retrace my etepeand narrate a portion of what I saw and heard on my journey from New York to this remarkable region. Taking the six P. M. Erie train, I fell in company with am intelligent gentleman, who was pretty well posted upon oil matters, and pretty candid in expressing his. opinions concerning them. The conversation turned upon the mammoth oil speculation which has grown up, four years, It was important-to-know whother the great community of investors im this img enterprise had pasted with om 8 Pennsylvania show of oil, overshadow: their money or a+ New half the oil companies in. New York were officered with ng clee to at- partment of business, who. have ever. tend to except the very thing-for which ticy were elect- respective companics. These men, he continued, are quite generally selected from among, our merchante, are the endorvers of the several interests which they ing oil stock, and pay some slight attention to the pro- ducing of oil, which alone can make the business either permanently or tensporarily profitable to investors. He stated as a well known fact that many tracts of oj] pro- panies, to run to waste, the borings stopped, tubings lected, and betwem@ the stealings and mismanagement upon the property by irresponsible agents and the bar- tering and kiting tn ofl stocks by the New York figure- beads, many tracts, more valuable even than the enor- moun considerations peid for them, have become or are becoming comparatively worthless, #0 far as any imme- diate income is concerned. He contended thut the rem edy for this evil, #s well as for the general discontent ‘existing in the public mind at this time%n relation to oil investments and operations, lay in the hands of the Samuel MeLews (garruter), rovbery, State Prison twenty mtockbolders themselves; these mismanaged companies should be at once reorganized and reofficered with prac.

By this course many properties neglect, will, after all, be found valuable and yield some operating them. How correct my companion’s views were, may, in a measure, be ascertained as the reader proceeds in examining the results of my investigations, MRADVILLR, I tound Meadville very little changed for the better vtnee my visit last fall, The McHenry House and its landlord were the same The new brick hotel, which Johnny Steole was to build was unfinished, but stores were open in the lower part, The want of a second Jobony Steele, with his profuse expenditures, is much folt in Meadville. “What han become of Johnny?

If there be any change since last fall, it is not much for the better. The place is full of people, but they do not seem to be doing any particular business ex- cept hurrying abont. Many of those we see are bound for Pitholo City, the newly discovered Oi Dorado. Pit hole is ail the cry—Pithole is all the ‘go, Parties with babies and other domestic furniture in wagons are to be se n every other minute straggling through the mud ond sloughs, some of children screaming, many of the fathers cursing, and all of the mothers sitting calmly and patiently ws they miserably bump, bump, bump, splash, splash, splash, through the abominadlo highway, They do not appear to think that by going further they may fare worse; but with the inevilable tendency of the American character they push along from one ‘discom fort to another, in the hope of whni? That they may some day or other realize enough to live comfortably upon for the balance of their lives? Perhaps eo; but it ‘s more likely they are moved by some other motive, which may be traced to their aaturally restless and pro- greesive spirit. ‘THE GRASP AND HASEAN FARY—COTTACR HITT, RTC. ‘The larger part of Of!
