About ten years since, whilst boring fi>r salt water, near B trkesville, Kentucky, after penetrating through solid rock upw irds of two hundred feet, a fountain of pure oil was struck, which avus thrown up in a continu 'd stream more than twelve foel above lit' surface of the earth. Although in quantity somewhat abated, after the discharge of the first fi vv minutes during which il was supposed to < ni:t ssvenly-tivo gallons less a minute; it stiil continued lo flow for several days successively. The well being oil i he mar gin and near ilie mouth of a small creek emptying into (Jmn- beriaaJ river, t ho oil soon found its way t hi I In r, and fora longtime coveted it* surface. Some g -nileroen below, cu rious to ascertain whether the oil would lake fire, applied a torch; quick ds a flash, was exhibited the astonishing spec tacle oi the surface of the river in a blaze, which soon climbed the most el 'vat-d cMIs and scorched the summit of the lolii-.st trees, to .he no small discotufitur ■ of some of the neighbors. Il ignites freely, and produces :i ll on* a- brilliant asgis. Its qualhi s were thut unknown, but a quantity wiw barrelled, most of which soon leaked out. It is so pen etrating as to be dirti mil to confin • in a wooden vessel, and has so much gas as fr quentlv to burst bottles when filled and ligh ly corked. Tlie colour is green, but iijioji exposure to the an sssum 'sa greenish hue. It is >'xtrcm ly volatile, h ts a strong, pungent, and indescribable snv 11, and tastes much like the heart of pitch pine For a short tim • after the discovery, a small quantity of the oil would flow whilst pumping tlie salt water, which led to the impression that it could ul ways drawn by pumping But till subsequent ai- te.npts to obtain it, except by spontaneous d »w, have entirely failed. There have been two spontaneous flows within the two last six years. The last commenced on (he Ith July, 1833, and continued about six weeks, during which time twenty barrels of oil were ohtsincd. I he oil and th * salt water with which it is invariahly combimd during these flows,are forced i.no ill ■ pump,supposed by lb - gas, above two hundred feet, and thence through the spout into i cover ed trough where the water soon becomes disengaged and set tles at i he bottom, whilst the _.i 1 is readily skimmed lront the surface. A rumbling noise resembling distant thunder, uniformly attends thu flowing of the oil, whilst tic gas which is then visible every day at the top ot the pumh, leads the passing stranger to inquire, whether ihe well is on fire.

W ■ have mo • prreueJ >v th po iotir with a botll' of this m dici ial oil, which we under* gnd lias become a mo-d popular one for a variety of diseases in the western country. I’ho Vroericari oil was discovered about ton years ago, near Uurksvillc, Kentucky. Alter penetrating through the solid rock two hundred feet, boring for salt water, it gushed up in immense quantity, and several millions of gal lons soon covered th** adjacent streams, feincc^then it hns flowed with an irregularity,and at intervals. Thcsnpply is already far less than the demand, so exceedingly popular has it become. In taste, tin American Oil ros'inhles pitch pine, and has 8 curious indescribable odor. The proprietor possesses a great many certificates of cures effected by the use of this Oil. It is said even to be a remedy for the consumption, and for dyspepsia, and liver complaint. Colonel It.

I cannot, it is true, recommend said staysail ns a caulking place at spa, for while a fellow is dreaming awav about ‘sweet hearts and Avives,’ (he oiiicer of the deck may rub his eves suddenly, and the following' dialogue en sue: Lieut.—‘Forecastle, there!’ Master's Mute.—‘Sii!’ Lirut.—’Man the fo’-topsail staysail halyards’ Mister's Mils.—‘All manned lor’ard, sir. 5 Lieut.—‘Hois; away tlie staysail!’ And then up goes our downy couch, and o- vt rboard goes the dreamer; and a cold bath is not aLvays pleasant, even in warm climates, es pecially when so appli* d. These are pull-backs at sea; but in port, there is nothing oi the kind to fear; so I, Jack Garnet, snored away in the most magnificent style. Alas! however, no man can safely count upon any thing in a man-of-war save a flogging, which he is pretty sure to get, from one cause or another. While dreaming about Alary ami Co. as above, my slumber was dispelled by a kick from a good natured ferctop-mau, who rode doAvn tlie stay to inform that the first cutter was called away; and turning out, I Heard the boai- SAvain’s mate ‘making iny number,* that is roar ing out ‘Jack Garnet!’ ‘Here you are,’ said I to the boatswain's in no, as I jumped from the forecastle into the waist. ‘Get into the boat, you, sir,’ said tlie lieuten ant ul the watch, who was standing in the gang way ‘and look out lor a half dozen when you return.’ ‘Ay, ay, sir,’ I promptly replied. I took iny oar,—avc shoved off, let fail, and gave way. We had no officer on bouid <ave a mid, and I av is at first at a loss to know Avliere av<* could be going; but after pulling half an hour, avo boarded a merchantman which lay at anchor, far out in the harbor, beyond Little Cape H<<rti, and nearer Point Armies than Valparaiso.— She Avas in some trouble, having suddenly and by accident come to anchor, avuiIc sailing out of the haibor,—the cat and fish of the starboard bower having parted,—and there she lay with seventy fathom of cable out ahead, and her sails whipping the masts in fine style, every tiling having been lei go bv the run. ‘You, Garnet,’ said the mid, as ho went up the ship's side, stay in the boat, and have your nap out, for you remember Mr. Harrison pro. mised, you half a dozen: so get ready for it.’ ‘Ay, ay, sir,’ I replied, and sitting down in the stern-sheets, the painter being made fast on board the ship, I proceeded to obey orders, while llic rest of the boat’s crew began to heave up our friend’s anchor, and so forth. It is one of my rules never to borrow trouble, and s > I napped away my dream beginning where it had left off, on board tiie sloop-of-ivur: and I enjoyed myself and tlie rest of them in true man-of-war style. How long my slumbers may have lasted, I know not,—but i was at l< ngtli awakened by tlie rolling and pitching of the boat, she having shipped a heavy sea, which thoroughly ducked Jack Garnet, any hmv. 1 bolted up, and found myself in a peck of troubles. Someone in the hurry of duly on board the merchantman had accidentally cast off the pain ter of my boat, and the soutii Avind having sud- den'y freshened into a snorter, I had quietly drifted out to sea, and uoav found myself out side of Point Angles, in a stiff breeze, roiling a- bout on the mountain surges of tlie Pacific O ccan. Tlie thinz was done so quietly, that no one on board bad observed it, (the aforesaid squall having taken them unavA’ares,) and they did not perceive my departure until after I had made that discovery. Here then I was, fare- nough from any possible aid, captain, cook and all hands of the first cutter of the F sloop- of-ivar,—al 1 alone bv myself, and no body with me> —outward bound. Taking the tiller, I endeavored to keep her head to the wind, to diminish her way out to sea; but finding that she broached too, rather too of ten, I took an oar and pulled her round, stern t<» the wind. I then resumed the tiller, and began to ir.uke a straight wake before the Avind toCo- quimbo, Callao, o. Davy Jones’. I now made fine head way, so fine, indeed, that I had soon the satisfaction to sec that all the shipping in Valparaiso were out of sight, and Point Angles By tors time, I had recollected my scattered tviis, a id perceiving that they were lowering a* Small Pox.—Dr. Luzenburg has made addi- -- . tianal experiments and had many additional*'Avas drifting rapidly .astern. T I Avas speedily picked up, and taken on board the brig, a.id a glass of iialf-au-iialf being given me, I found b -th eyes and tongue, and while teiiing my story, 1 saw that the brig was large and lii'avy, mounting ten guns over her bui- j works, having no ports, and full of men. These | were rather suspicious particulars, and I was ; glad io find that the person commanding avus in | the best humor, being greatly amused by my j narration. j ‘Well, well!’ said he, after a lung fit of laugh- | ter, ‘since you are commodore of the American i fleer, I must treat you civilly: for’ard there: j Cook, give this man some breakfast.’ While discussmg said breakfast, and racking my brains to think whereaway I was the truth suddenly flashed into my mind that I had heard something said in Valparaiso about a piratical vessel which had been off liie coast of P^ ru.— The story avus, that many merchantmen had been plundered by her, bat that no violence Avas ever offered to officers or crew, bv the pirate’s crcAV, unless they resisted, cor even then any thing more than avus necessary to subdue them. Cargo was never touched; all they wnuted avus g Id and silver, and that being surrendered, they always went off peaceably. They were spok en of as a horrid looking set of fellers, com manded by a remarkably handsome young man,—ul! speakinga strange language, anil un able to understand English, Spanish or French. It was also said that liiey were usually seen near evening, and that at night, though frequent ly in plain sight, they would always suddenly disappear,—and though frequently seen and chased by men-of-war, they always disappear ed entirely at night,—while in the day, they sa.’led like the wind, laughing at pursuit. My informant also said, that the piratical vess- 1 was a brig, Avitli painted ports carrying ten guns, and a long twenty-four pounder on a pivot. All this was true of tlio biig I was now on board of. She was heavily sparred, her canvass white, and raked mass, Avinle her sharp b >ws, beau liful shear, and ch an run, at once convinced me, ihough manned by’ imps and commanded by satau, she was as sweet a craft as ever ploughed the sea. When I had finished my breakfast, and relat ed my yarn to the hands forward, who, though I i Jeous looking rascals, spoke English as well ax I, I avus ordered aft again to meet the scru tiny of the captain, whom l had not yet seen. He was a small man, below the middle size, slender form, delicate limbs, and a face so smooth and round, that ho did not seem to be over eighteen, while his voice was melody it self, being low and exquisitely modulated. Having heard my story, and assured me of kind treatment, he demanded to know of me Avhat snips Avere in Valparaiso Bay, iitAxard or out ward bound, and what men of.war Avere there—tlie state of tilings ashore—what vessels Avere expected, and where from—and lastly, whether I had heard any thing said about a pi rate off tlie coast of Peru. 1 ansAvered these manifold questions as fully as possible, and in reply to the latter, said what I bad heard—add ing, truly, that the English sloop of war T was despatched a week before lo protect the merchant service from him. This last item afforded him much amusement. ‘Well, my lad,’ he said, ‘it will be a longtime before they catch us—for avo are, as you s<-e, lhat same pirate—friends lo the s< a, and ene mies to all wiio sail upon it. We are short of Avood and water, and must g<> into Valparaiso to fill up—not, however, till your sloop of Avar comes out; but since you say she is about to re main th re, 1 Avill entice her out. You can now take care of yourself*. I shall not ask of you any duty, and as soon as I can, will set you ashore.’ It was now about noon, and the brig—whicli had been lying to since 1 Avas picked up—fiilod her maintop-sail, made ail sail, and boarding her starboard tacks, avrs oft' with the speed of light, soutii by east, to make Point Angles, leav ing illV boat adriit. Pile Andes were yet in sight, and Valparaiso not far distant, so that in an hour Point Angles was in plain view, and at 4 P M. we entered the bay, steering straight for ihe F. All hands were now upon deck, and to do them justice the brig avus Avorked admirably.— The long twenty-four Avas hauled aft, and pointed over the taffrail, while the rest of the guns were cleared away and double shotted.— All this preparation fifr action rather puzzled me, for I could not think that the pirate captain intended to fight the F , inasmuch as her Sae fell off directly before the wind, ar.d hauled ■ up on the laib «ard tack—her larboard battery I speaking in thunder as .t came to bear; then ’ crowding every thing she gave chase. Here, however, she was at disadAantage— fo we had the start of a mile—and, moreover, j Avere under fine headway'. Her true game was ; io keep away a little, and if possible carry a- way some of our spears with round shot; but ! that part she determined to put off until it could ! be given ivitii effect—nothing doubting but she ! should speedily overtake us. But m this the commodore reckoned without : his host, for we rapidly slipped away from him, ! woiking to windward of him in spite cf his i i miss. I lowered it, and turning to my shikaree, j told him he must shoot her. lie was a capital l shot: I have seen him break a bottle at a hun- jenerally supposed she avouIJ stay there a time, j died yards distance with a-ball. “No, no, Sa- unless Jimmv Fiatfoot actually took her under [ bib, me nui shoot—me afraid me not hit him.” I threatened to shoot him if he hesitated, pul ing tlie rifle into iiis hands, and in order to give him confidence I advanced forward a little to his left. He tiredhnd missed, thru ay doAvn the nfle, and fled. The moment the enraged bca*t- second was spurs and gaitors; I could not have ran far before I heard her roar- I cast a look I attempt. his wing.
