Twi LaCTVag ob the 33d we an eameed-
iagly iatervwbna; oae. Mr. Chapin was ie-
ioced by Mr. Follttt, President of tbe
YouBg Men Association, and pioueeded to
"peak of "the old aad tbe new," as related
to Science, History and oor National lile,
bowing the working of tbe laws of evolu
tion and growth, the coapiebeugiou of which
forbid tbe acceptance of any belief in
chance, or mere mechanical neersmty, and
ipets belief in an Intelligent Providence
working through all. Mr. Cbapin held it
not true that nation like individuate neces-
aiily had their youtb.manhood, oH age and
death, and spoke of those wbo, mistak
ing tbe meaning of "tbe good okl times,''
woo Id tarn backward tbe advance of the
world in knowledge and so prevent tbe work
ing together of all discoveries ia science and
art for the attainment of great moral ends.
because forsooth in many points these discov
eries were at present need for mere commer
cial profit, lie compared the present devel
opment of tbe idea of libertv with that of
tbe past, and shewed lira coofo-jodin'- in the
minds of many of Slate Rights and State
Sovereignty, and tbe mUaey of the doctrine
of eecesesoB, winding up with aa assertion
of tbe deep dettire of loyal hearts for tbe res
toration of the Union aad its authority over
the whole land.
A fall audienee listened to this eloquent
address, one of tbe best that we bave ever
beard Dr. Cbapin deliver.
What it costs to " Strike Oil." A long
aooount of tbe Oil Wells in tbe Kanawha
Valley, Va., is published in the N. Y. World,
trom which we extract tbe following :
Beeare a well is soak, a spot is chesen on
which to commence work. This location is de
termined by the dip of rock, course of stream,
burst of upheaval, concentration of ravines, a 3-1
other nwrts governing oil men, the failures and
successes ef others being of great benefit in mak
ing seleotions of tpots for wells. A derrick,
resembling the frame of an old-fisaioned church
steeple, it erected over the ipot choseo. This
derrick is about 40 feet high, 10 feet tquare at
the base, aod tspenng to four or five feet at the
top. where a pully-Mock is aSxed, through
which rues a rope to work the drill and haal
up ibe baring tocls, rand-pump (s tube or pump
which is used to clean out the chips from the bole
made by tbe drill 1, tubes, rods, ke., used in
sinking or working the weU. A long box, about
eight inche square is then put down till the
lower rnJ rests on the bed rock, be it one or 50
feet. This box is called a conductor, and its use
to steady the drill which works np and down
inside of it. The cost of erecting a derrick is
from SfiO to ;S6, according to its height or
plainness; and the work is done by almost any
man acquainted with tbe use of carpenter's
tools. The conductor costs from $15 to $30
according te tbe depth at which the bed rock is
reached. Tbe drill it a heavy iron chisel with
rounded and sharpened end. It is about three
feet Vang and weighs from 70 to 100 pounds. It
is worked up and down by means of a rod or
rope attached to the upper end. This chisel Is
followed bv a reamer, made like the drill, except
the end Is tquare. It breaks down the little
irregular jultingt of rock left by tbe drill. The
reamer is followed by the sand pomp, which
cleans out tbe debris. To work the drill and
other tools necessary to sink a well, epring.po'rt
(resembling an old-fashioeed well-tseep) are
sometimes u.eu. Spring poles are cheapen, than
engines at first, but not as good. Tbe relative
cost of boring is as follows :
With spring poles S3 to St per foot
Engine ?2 60 to $8 76 per foot.
This is tbe price paid to men who take the con
tract to sink Ihe well, the employer finding the
tools, and if tbe work be done by an engine, the
fuel ami oil to work tbe same. 1 his price include
the cleaning out of the well acd putting in tbe
tubing, but not the cost thereof, which is about
60 cents a loot. The range of price is governed
by the depth of the we!L In this section oil is
found at the depth (average) of 210 feet
A twelve horse power engine costs, delivered
on the ground ready for work here, about two
tbouKand four hundred dollars; a set of tools
complete, three hundred and seventy-five dollars.
From the above flrures. men will see how much
it costs to sink a welL Tanks cost about two
hundred dollars, but this expense need not be
incurred till the oil is reached. The building
over the engine to protect it from rain and
storms, costs about three hundred dollars. The
barrels are furnished by tbo refiner, who takes
the oil from tbe tank, pays his own cost of trans
portation, barreling, c, acd keeps yoa sup
plied wits empty barrels. This tares the ques
tion of transporUtica to parties owning cr op
erating wcus.
We arc often asked how fast a mas can bore,
or how many feet a well is sunk In a day, Tha
answer depends os clrcusatartees acccrdisg to
the nature of the rock. Some dayrthe drill
will cuka fifteeaor twenty feet; again, ft will
poowT all day and cot paetrate mere than
twenty inches. The average is about ehfSet
kdir. The best clxa is to vnwkfrwo son nf
, men, from twelve to twelve, and wuhoot'swp

from Commodoic Craven, of tht (XnitedStatc
steamer Niagara, dated Feb. 2Sth, detailing
the measures) which he had taken in refer
ence to the rebel ram Olindc, or Stonewall,
which was lying the harbor of Fcrrol, Spain,
closely watched by the Niapra and Sjcra
mento. Tbe Captain of tbe Stonewall bad
tone to Paris. Tbe Spanish Government
ad refused to allow any fitting out of the
veseel in the port, or any repairs more than
were ncccrtaiy to enable her to go to sea. It
waa given out that tbo ram leaked : but
Commodore Craven says there is no indica
tion of tbo fact to be seen, and be thinks that
she is ready for sea and will try to slip out.
The Niagara has left Ferrol acd goao to
Come, which is opposite Fcrrol, so aa sot to
be obliged to remain ia port 21 tours after
