A dispatch from T.tusville, Pa., the 8th inst,, 1 
says “ there was a great fire on Bennchoff linn i 
last night. During a thunder storm the light¬ 
ning struck a gus-pipe jn the Western Union < 
Telegraph Well, communicating fire with the c 
tank, which exploded, and the oil ran down the t 
Run, communicating fire to several other tanks, t 
which, in turn, exploded and caused one of the t 
heaviestlconllagratious the Oil Regions ever ox- 1 
perlenced. Wo learn that between eighteen and 
twenty large producing wells were burned up, j 
including two or three large flowing wells, i 
among which were the Sheridan and Western i 
U nion'.Telegmph wells, both of them large flow- t 
ing wells. ; k The Sheridan had eight or nine tanks 1 
filled with oil, all of which were destroyed. As 
far as can be learned, some twenty thousand 
barrels were destroyed, and some parties esti¬ 
mate at a much larger figure than this. The oil 
1 was a foot deep ae it ran down the Run to Oil 
Creek. There were also between twenty and 
thirty derricks destroyed, the wells of which 
were In vurious stages of completion. The loss 
I cannot be estimated at present, but is heavy.” 
The (/real fire of the week and for many years, 
i commenced in Portland, Me., on tbe evening of 
the 4th, and w as not subdued till the afternoon 
of the 5th. The wind was blowing violently at 
the time tbo fire broke out, and soon whole 
squares and streets were in a blaze. Property to 
the value of ten millions of dollars was destroyed, 
comprising nearly half the city. A letter from 
Portland, dated the 5th, says “nearly two thou¬ 
sand families, and, it is computed, from 7,000 
to 8,000 individuals in all, are to-day destitute 
and homeless, who In the morning of yester¬ 
day constituted nearly one-third of the popula¬ 
tion of one of the most orderly, prosperous end 
industrious cities in America. Eight churches, 
seven hotels, and every printing office capable 
of issuing a newspaper, have vanished.” Many 
cities and villages are sending aid to the sufferers. 
The "United State* Senate. 
The following seventeen members of the 
United States Senate go on t on the 4th of March, 
1867, Democrats being put in italics, viz;— James 
A~He Dotty all of California, Lafayette S. Foster 
of Connecticut, Lyman Trumbull of Illinois, J. 
M. Kirkwood of Iowa, Henry B. Lane of In¬ 
diana, Samuel C. Pomeroy of Kansas, Garrett 
Davis of Kentucky, John A, J. Cresswell of 
Maryland, B. Grata Brown of Missouri, Daniel 
Clark of New Hampshire, James W. Nye of 
Nevada, Ira Harris of New Fork, John Sherman 
of Ohio, James 1 V. IfttmiVt of Oregon, Edgar 
Cow an of Pennsylvania, Luke P. Poland of Ver¬ 
mont, aud Timothy O. Howe of Wisconsin. 
Besides the above expirations there is one va¬ 
cancy to be filled in New Jersey, and another in 
Vermont, thus necessitating, in the whole, the 
election of nineteen new Senators from the loyal 
States during the current year. 
The progress thus fur made iu providing for 
these changes is as follows: — Mr. Sherman has 
been re-elected in Ohio; Cornelius Cole has been 
chosen iu California to succeed Mr. McDougalJ; 
General O. S. Ferry succeeds Mr. Foster in Con¬ 
necticut; James Harlan, In Iowa, takea the place 
of Mr. Kirkwood; and in New Hampshire, Jas. 
W. Patterson has been designated the successor 
of Mr. Clailc. In Vermont, the contest for the 
long term lies between Judge Poland and Hon. 
J. 8. Morrill, now of the Honse. Iu New York, 
thus far, no one has been mentioned in opposi¬ 
tion to Mr. Hants. In Pennsylvania there are 
half-a-dozen prominent candidates, including 
Governor Curtin, General Cameron, Forney, 
Judge Kelley, John Casstoni, and John Hick¬ 
man. In Indiana, Mr. Lane declines a re-elec¬ 
tion, and Speaker Colfax and George IV. Julian 
are among those named for the succession. In 
Illinois, Mr. Trumbull is likely to find competi¬ 
tors in General Logan, Governor Oglesby, and 
E. B. Wusbburne. In Kentucky, Garrett Davis 
may be run out by Governor Brumlcttc or Mr. 
Mallory. In Missouri, Mr. Brown’s re-election 
Will be contested by Gen. Blair.— Ex. 
From Mexico. 
Tiie Mexican guerrilla chief, Cortinas, is 
reported to have died from injuries received 
by being thrown from his horse while tlyiug 
from the Imperial troops under Geu. Oliveru. 
Matamoras dates of July 3, state that Carra- 
vajal has issued an address, saying that his troops 
are naked aud hungry, aud he expects the citi¬ 
zens of Matamoras will contribute 6100,000 to 
their relief, thus relieving him of the necessity 
of levying a loan. Carravajal was about start¬ 
ing to look alter a specie train. Juarez has 
been sent for to re-establish his Government in 
Monterey. The Liberals are fully satisfied that 
the Maximilian dynasty is in its last throes. 
The Liberals are now confident, of capturing 
Monterey. Great confidence exists in the pas¬ 
sage of the loan bill by the U. S. Congress. 
Vera Cruz dates of the 22d ult., state that the 
vomito or fever, was raging there, aud deaths 
were numerous. 
It was believed that Santa Anna was acting in 
the interests of the Church Party, in considera¬ 
tion of which he expected to be elected to the 
Presidency, he promising to return the Church 
Party their property. 
Maximilian continues the organization and 
concentration of his army. 
The French troops which evacuated Matamo- 
ras bad reached Vera Cruz. 
A Liberal movement on SanJLuis Potosi had 
compelled a re-lnforcement of that place by the 
Imperialists. 
A communication from Paris states that the 
United (States Government had made a non-inter- 1 
vuntion agreement writb Napoleon as regards 1 
Mexico, and that it.is in the faith of this under- i 
standing that the French troops arc to be 
withdrawn. : 
The roads from Tampico to the interior cities 
are entirely in the hands of the Liberals, and 
they have lately been extremely snecesslul on 
the west coast. It is said that Gen. Corona now 
holds the important city of Guadalajara with a 
force of 7,000 men iu the name of Juarez. I 
The N. Y..Herald’s Vera Cruz correspondent 
of June 20, says the “city of Tampico was 
closely besieged by the Liberal forces; deser¬ 
tions from tbo Imperial to the Liberal army i 
were very frequent; the idea of annexation to 
the United States was widely fostered in the 
Liberal ranks.” 
The Imperialists at this time hold hut a small i 
part of the country, aud it is thought that if they i 
do not receive immediate re-inforcements they i 
will be obliged to concentrate their whole force ; 
at the ei t y of Mexico and at Vera Cruz to provent i 
being captured. 1 
A dispatch from San Francisco of July 6, says 
the Liberals have taken the city of Santiago. 
The yellow fever is prevailing quite exten¬ 
sively at Tampico, 
Natural Gas.— About a year ago, when oil 
lands were being discovered all over the coun¬ 
try, certain parties were induced by tbe show of 
oil to commence boring at Gazetteville, ten or 
twelve miles from Buffalo. While boring, in¬ 
stead of striking a flowing well of oil, they came 
npon K natural gas spring from which a strong 
flow of gas was encountered. Since that time 
various experiments have been made in refer¬ 
ence to the utility of this gas, aud have shown 
that it is of remarkable purity aud flows over 
40,000 feet per day. The well has flowed in this 
manner for about a year, and there arc not the 
least signs of Ite exhausting itself. A company 
Is being formed at Buffalo for the purpose of 
sinking a number of wells and laying mains to 
supply that city with this gas. It is claimed 
that it is much purer in quality, 1 b but slightly 
offensive to smell, gives a far more brilliant 
light, and can be furnished at half the price tbe 
citizens of that place are now paying for their 
gas.— Docftester Union. 
TnE Small U. 8. Fractional Cuhrenct.— 
In jmrsuance of the two acts of Congress, 
the Treasury Department has discontinued the 
issue of paper Currency of the denomination 
of five und three cents. Hereafter, all orders 
for currency below the denemination often cents 
should be addressed to the Director of the Miut 
at rhlladelphia, where the bronze one and two, 
and the nickle three and five cent coins can be 
had in exchange for gold and silver coins or 
legal tender notes of the United States. The 
Direc tor of the Mint gives the following informa¬ 
tion : — The new three cent piceeB are put up in 
bags of 620, and the five cent pieces in sums of 
§30 each; and either of these sums, or any larger 
amount, ol which fifty or thirty Is the multiple, 
will be sent in the order of the entry of applica¬ 
tion. The reasonable expense of the transpor¬ 
tation of the coins to any point accessible by 
railroad or steamboat will be paid by the Mint. 
Ages of American Writers. —Bancroft will 
be 04 years of age the 3d day of next October; 
Motley, 50 the 15th of April; Emerson, Cl the 
25th day of May; Bryant, 70 tho Sd of Novem¬

born in New England except one; no less than 
eight of the twelve saw the light in Massachu¬ 
setts ; and Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, 
and Pennsylvania, each produced one. 
The Pacific Railroads.—A Sau Francisco 
dispatch of July 3, says “the Central Pacific 
Railroad is completed to Dutch Flats, sixty- 
seven miles beyond Sacramento, at an elevation 
of 3,410 feet.” From Omaha, Nebraska, we 
learn that the Government Commissioners ex¬ 
amined and excepted an additional twenty miles 
of the Union Pacific Railroad on the 3d inst 
One hundred and twenty-five miles are now in 
running order. Regular passenger trains carry ing 
the overland mail commenced running to Co¬ 
lumbus the first of July. The daily line of 
overland stages conuect with the railroad. 
Nebraska Election.— A special dispatch to 
the Chicago Times gives the official announce¬ 
ment of the election in Nebraska as follows: 
For the State Constitution, 3,938; against the 
Constitution, 3,833. Congress—Marquette, Re¬ 
publican, 4,110; Brooke, Democrat, 3,97-1. Gov¬ 
ernor—Butler, Republican, 4,098; Morton, Dem¬ 
ocrat, 3,948. Average aggregate vote on State 
officers, 8,0-11. The Democrats elected the Chief 
Justice by 404 majority. Both parties claim a 
majority in the Legislature. 
Telegraphing Improved. —The American 
Artizan states that a Mr. Logan of New York 
city proposes to lessen the labor of telegraphing 
by greatly reducing the number of words in dis¬ 
patching a message. Numbers are to take the 
place of words — three being deemed ample for 
the purpose— even one or two in most cases. 
The economy of time and labor will justify the 
change it is supposed. It will involve the neces¬ 
sity of learning the new system which, to those 
acquainted with the old one, will not be difficult. 
- - 
The New Capitol—The Great Door.— The 
.Springfield(Mass. (Republican states thnt the door 
for the new Capitol at Washington, in process 
of construction at Chiekopee, is approaching 
completion. Two entire years of labor have 
been expended npon it. The design was by 
Crawford, and furnished just before his death. 
Tke panels of the door will present an emblem¬ 
atical or pictorial history of the country, colo¬ 
nial and independent, with groupings of the 
more prominent actors In the revolutionary war. 
The Indians. —A San Francisco dispatch of 
July 1, says “a small band of Indians have plun¬ 
dered a camp in Macedonia district, and mur¬ 
dered one man there, aDd another at Mohave 
Springs. The military are pursuing them.” 
A satisfactory treaty has been concluded at 
Fort Laramio with the Sioux anil Cheyeuues by 
E. B. Taylor, President of the Laramie Commis¬ 
sion, on the part of the United States. 
The State Bank Tax.— The N. Y. Post’s 
Washington special of July 7, says: — Under 
the new Internal Revenue Law, the circulating 
notes of tlie State Banks are exempted from 
the ten per cent, tax until August 1st. The 
First Comptroller of the Treasury has decided 
that from the first of July until to-day (July 7) 
these banks must pay the tax. 
From Chili. —The latest advices from Valpa¬ 
raiso say that trade is reviving briskly. The 
Minister of Finance is preparing a statement of 
the losses suffered from the Spanish bombard¬ 
ment. Specie is abundant. American gold is at 
a premium, but drafts on the United States for 
small amounts are cashed dollar for dollar in 
Chill currency. The Presidential election was 
to have taken place on the 29th of June. Pereze 
and Geu. Boluez were the most prominent can¬ 
didates. The commerce of the Republic is rap¬ 
idly increasing, and when her mines and rich 
agricultural districts are developed by the rail¬ 
roads now building, there will be no limit te 
her wealth and progress.
