From the y. y. Courier and EnqulEer.1
Since the close Of the past season, a number
Of new boats have been built for the application
Of steam power, and some old boats altered for
the same purpose, and upon further new prin-
ciples, the new boats especially, one called the
Eclipse and one the Rotary.
All these boats, including the Rugg1es, have
been cleared from this city this spring, and have
accomplished all that their friends have predict
ed. The Ruggles has completed her up yoyage
in five days and fourteen hours, and the Eclipse
in five and Il half days. We are informed that
provements, tending to another reduction Of ex-
pense, OF the machinery at such parts thereof SO
constructed as to effect reduced consumption
offuel, thus further facilitating the undeFtak-
in1.
These successful attempts in the use Of steam
on the State Canals, serve to show that time
aud expense will materially be sayed hereafter
in the transportation Of produce md mcrchan-
disc to aud from the West; and will thus secure
to the State and the city alf the advantages that
the most sangulne friends Of the Canal system
ever anticipated.
S1EA1 Of THE Oa1o CASAl.-A correspondent
Of the Cleveland PSaia4tok<r writes that the
canal steaner recently built at Boston. near
Akron, has been launched and performed we'll.
He says Of her: 'She is beautiful and well
built boat, capable Of carrying GO or 70 tons,
and swinls like duck. Her owner, Captain W.
Duell, Of Franklin Mills, bus named her tue
Enterprise and he is certainly entitled to con-
siderable credit for his enterprise in applying
steam to the navigation Of the canals III Ohio.
Her boiler and machinery occupy less room tban
tue stable Of an ordinary horse b0at, and only
weigh about two tons. She will consume not to
exceed 900 irs Of coal in twenty -four hours,
and run four miles Ill hour. The Enterprise
WIS built BY II. H. Paine, Esq, Of Boston, un-
der the supervision Of Captain Duell, and her
engine and machinery by L. Hatfield, Of Cuya-
t to th @ toas gus m pp e0%
having some alterations made in her wheels,
nlter which, be will lond for Cteyel4nd."

The Cape Race Dispatches.

Afson Ac SpElnFne1o tA1se.] Republican, May @,1
Occasionally We yet brief outlines of the news
BY foreign steamer, from Cape Race. Cane
Race Is the most easterlv point Of North A,neli-
ca, being rronontory OF the island Of New
toundland. The European steamers approach
within a mile or two Of Cape Race light, usually
reaching that point in seven or eight days.
A boatnau is employed there By the aasociat-
Cd press, who cruises near the SPOT and The
steaincrs throw up signals and fire gun to a.
tract Intention. When the newsbost il seen
trum the steamer buoyunt lin can with t}ap
attachsd IS thrown over, winch can be seen to q
considerable distance; tue steamer keeps On its
course without interruption, aud the boatmen
PICK up thu can and take it as quickly US posi-.
oie to the telegraph station at st. Johns, whence
tie news contained in it is At once dispatched TO
all parts Of the United States. 1t first passes
orer tue Newfoundland linz, which is built
across the island through an almost impcnctra-
Lle wilderness, thence across the submarine co-
ble to Nova Scotia, and through New Brunswick
to Maine aud Boston uad New York, The 1ele-
graphic distance from Boston to st, Johns is
urcr thousand miles, and it is not singular
that wire which for considerable portion Of
the route is through q wilderness should ba
times out of order. We suppose the reason
for making the Cape Race dispatches so meaqer
ls the difficulty Of transmitting the news uoon
the Newfoundland aud Nova Scotia lines. 9th
er~ise there ~ no reason why it should not be
a. full as the dispatch that comes from Halifax.
There have been Of late, since the war com

Count Cavour, the celebrated Sandman st1tes-
man, says the Florence correspondent Of the
Newark -4dsfrt:sfr. is onlv italian of the half
blood-a mixture Of the Tcuton and Celt. He
acquired his profession under British tuition,
aud reminds one Of the late Sir Robert Peel,
who had all the qualities that the men of the
South lack, in compensation, perhaps, for the
want Of all in which they excel. Bland, smooth,
selfpossessed and cautious, be is eminent
among his countrymen for that moderation
which is the disguise Of art. A wealthy bache-
lor Of fifty, he is heartily welded to affairs, and
no bride was ever more caresscd: albeit, the
enthusiasm never masters him. The writer
adds:
Count Carour is now virtually absolute n,as-
ter Of the Constitutional monarchy which he
llelped to found, and is determined to augment.
His alliances alt sure, and Austria provoked at
last, 10 cross the Rubicon, the Parliament is
tion-invests the King with all tue powers Of
the State, and is then prorogued indefinitely.
Yielding to his ardent young masters prevail
ing passion for tie field, he counsels the trans
fer OF these extraordinary powers to the Prince
Carignan, royal cousin. by construction, and
thus next Of kin, in tue house Of Savoy, Us NOM
inal Regent. This heavy-molded individual Of
the middle age will sign the DEGREES without
disturbing the text. The Minister Of War (Gen.
Lamarmora) ACCOMPANIES the King, and his
portfolio falls to Count Cavour--4uihor and
master Of the Italian novenent-at once Pres-
dent Of the Council. Minister OF Foreign Alairs,
Finance Minister, War Minister, aud Minister
Of Murine. and his i:satchlrss method Is quite
equal to the many sided charge. Yet no ,nan
Of business has more leisure. Nobody ever
saw Count Cavour in 4 hurry-or out Of hu.
'nor. His interviews with Louis Napoleon
would be 4 study for Richelieu or d 1ai1ey-

Trom the Dloomlukton Pantaf1aph.1
Farmers from Ill parts Of the county inform
us that their corn has been considerably dAR-
aged BY rats. Tho rats dig below the stalks and
eat the kernels. Ar. Heiner, who resides IN

sictims until their number reached two hundred,
when he stopped counting and continued kill

been Killed on Jesse Funk's farm, and Cyrus

the same kind Of treatment. When we SAW
him yesterday be WAS negotiating for rat ter
rier. Jacob Heiser, who G.es three miles north
Of Twin Grove. informs US that the rats hare
made dead set" at his corn, md that many
Of his neiXhbors are in about as bad = 6x as
himself. One Of his cornfelds, containing eight
acres, has been fairly riddled By rats-some Of
which he thinks are nearly u large as yearliug
kittens. He says the entire field will not yield !
dozen bushels His rats are rerv tame; them
conn from his corn fields in the day time, when
they and the weather are dry, and drink out OF
wash.tubs u front Of his door. He was in the
city yesterday for the purpose Of laying in
stock Of ammunition, with which he intends to
slaughter the long tailed animals that are grow
ing fat at his expense.
From the ponttsc li.1ngs.on CO.. sentnaa.l
The corn cribs being empty, aud very little

ratships hare betaken themselves in q body to

had very hard luck, according to our informant.
He suys tho Dr.. told him Jour informant) that,
upon discovering that rats were the cause Of the

The Csst OF Foreign Travel.
We extract from volume just published, en-
titled " From Wall Street to Cashmere" BY Ar.
John d. ireland, the following information as to
the expense Of foreign travel. 1t will settle
dispute in many mind in regard to question
so nice Jet SO important:
Travelling in England, with moderate speed,
in 6rst-class railEoad-carriages, coaching, OF
occasionally posting, when in out-ot-thc-
way places, always putting up at tue best hotels
in London, with rooms ut Longs and meals
there, or at the clubs, costs about line or ten
dollars per day. This is an average expense
for gentleman to travel on and lire comfort
ably, with reasonable quantity Of good wine
fol. dinner.
4On the continent the same can be done, in.
Guiding the Irving in Paris Or any other capital,
for tG per day. at the hotel or good lodgings,
and dining at the best restaurants. In Syria or
on the Nile, if travelling alone, the expense
would be about IS per day, or if with one friend,
about $3.50, and two or three, from n to IS.
Usually every one there travels with two or
three friends; alway did, except the last time,
when went to Palmyra. Then beyond the
Suez, the steamer charges are on an average Is
or 25 per day, including wines, beers, &C., and
the expense Of the route known BY the distance,
US these vessels never average over lsO miles
day. In fair weather, under the most ndvantag-
eous circumstances, they reach nine to nine and
half miles an hour, and hare had an expert
ricnce Of eleven different ssea1ners, and mostly
their best"

4 New Naturalization Sche eme

Some Of the S":.:hern papers nre advocating
the adoption Of d provision by the Southern
States requiring residence Of twenty -one years
BY man born in Free State before he shall bc
allowed to yotc: tue object being to defeat the
influence in Southern Suites Of such Northern
settlements as those at Cer>do aud elsewhere in
Virginia. The New Orleans Cresc<nt thus argues
in favor Of H.:
I've do not know why men hostile to the very
heart BY nasurc, should be allowed to come
among US aud wield to our injury as much in1u-
cnce Us We can to protect ourselves: and, there
fore, ne think that all northerncrs should be
made to serve very lengthy naturalization term
before they are allowed to yote IN Southern
State. This would gire them time to be cured
Of the hot prejudice which rnsny, even Of The
conscientious. bring with them, and would Gin
the claws Of the designing. Txeuts-oue years
won!d not be too short term to serve fur the
right Of voting on questions in which the saliva
tion Of our vital interests are concerned"

MINNESOTA POLITICS--T1kE CAM.
pAIGN OPENING.

Already, NC perceive the note Of preparation
is being sounded iii Minnesota, preparatory to
the Important election which occurs in that
State the easui1g October. A Governor and
other State officers two members Of Congress
and Il State Legislature are all to bc chosen
hy the people If the State ut largp, the Demo-
cracv in w'wcr having deliberately refused to
district the State for Congressman. under the
advice Of tbs present Chief Executive, Mr.. Sil~
ley, expressed by him in his first annual mes
sasc 10 the Legislature. Besides the import
ance Of carrying the State for Governor, the
election Of two Republican Congressman iu
Minnesota is expected to determine dccisiyoly
thc election Of Speaker of tie next House
OF Representatives in favor Of Republic-
M, and so givc tic control Of the important
standing committees Of that body iuto hands,
that will not, rs i'll the last Congress, make
thcnl subservient to the interests Of the extreme
Southern party, to the rrost1ation alike Of the
hopes or Tie business and manufacturing iutor-
ests ii the North and Of the landed and settler
Interests Of the West and Northwest. Upon
the Legislature II he chosen in Minnesota will
dcyolre the election Of T. S. Senator to ill
Gen. Shields vacancy, and also the apportion-
mcnt o: the State into Congressional and Lec-
1slatire Districts, thus determining in all proba.
b'lity, the future political status Of Minnesota
tho next half dozen years.
To the Importance Of tic contest beforc
then, both pArties in Minnesota seem to be
fully alive. The Republicans have called their
State Nominating Convention for the .oti, Of
July, proSin'o; and the Democrats theirs, to
assemble on the lGtl. If August.
1t is evident, from all the signs. that Ex-
Governor Alexander Namscy, tic strung man
oftllc Upper Mississippi Valley, popularly and
intellectually, will be nominated by the Rcpub-
icans for Governor, and they are vchcmeutly
challenging the Democrats to rc-nominatc Mr..
siblcy, and try before the people the adjourned
issue, whether the latter did or did not o1,tain
his Executive seat by the counting III Of labri.
Gated returns from tl,c wilderness and Indian
counties.
It is said, however, that Mr.. :>ibley and his
