Of all presen, that the days Of steam are

this new mo!iyepower as farsurpasses steam
as steam surpasses The old modes. The
Boston Transcript thus sums up few Of the
advantages which caloric has over steam:
so1g The caloric engine burns about one
tenth as much fuel asa steam engine; hence,
a caloric ship Of. the same size may crcum-

Annexation in a New quarter.

The telegraph brings us the information
that French Count in Sonora, named Boul-
bon, has defeated the Mexican General,
Blanco, and declared Sonora Independent OF
Mexico, and annered it 10 France.
1t appears, as we learn from our Califor.
MIA exchanges, that Count Boulbon took a
contract from the Mexican government to
put down the Apaches. hostile tribe Of In
dians, the Mexican government paying so
much head for every Indian killed. The
Los Angeles Star tells the balance Of the
storyi
~, seems tha, he proceeded to the Apache
county and succeeded in driving off the In
dians from a tract Of so leagues in circuit,
when he was called upon by the military
commandant Of Sonora, 10 render an account

object. He had seized upon q train Of

Blanco had despatched to The military post

Informant left, ihe Frenchman was on his

co. Don Manuel Gandara, an influential
Mexican, had joined The forces Of The
Frenchman, and the triumph Of the revolu,

The intelligence received subsequent tC

Cast iron, when viewed under favorable

If mass ofcast iron be located until soft.

carbon will be forced lo,he surface, and will

oxide gases, and thus pass off. When all
the carbon has been parted with, the mass
is called wrought iron and may then be
