Steam ON Canals.

The New York Courier says that a large
number of steam canal boats, fitted up for
the navigation OF the Erie canal, have left
that city since the spring, and have accom-
plished all that their friends have predicted.
One boat accomplished the up voyage, from
Buffalo TO New York, in FIVE days aud four
teen hours, and another made the trip in
FIVE aud half days IL is said that still
further Improvements have been made tend
ing 10 smother reduction of the expense Of
the machinery, at such parts thereof rs are
so constructed as 10 allow a reduced con-
sumption of fuel, thus further facilitating
the undertaking.
These successful attempts in the use OF
steam on the New York State Canals, serve
To show that time and expense will hereaf-
ter be saved in the transportation Of mer-
chandise and produce to and from the West,
and WILL no doubt, thus secure to the State
and city Of New York all the advantages
that the most sanguine friends of the Canal
system ever anticipated
A steam canal boat for the Ohio canals
has been launched near Akron, Ohio; she
ia described as beautiful and well built
boat, capable of carrying GO OF 20 tons, and
swims like duck. Her owner has named
her the Enterprise, and he is certainly en-
titled to considerable credit for his enter
prise in applying steam to the navigation Of
the canals of the Ohio. Her boiler and ma
chinery occupy less room than the stable oil
an ordinary horse boat, and only weigh
about two tons. She will consume not to
exceed 900 lbs of coal in twenty-four
hours, and run four miles an hour. If this
enterprise succeeds on the Ohio Canal, we
shall hope to see, before long, steam canal
boats on the Ohio and Wabash Canal.

eny" The New York Herald thinks the
shareholders do not fully comprehend their
own interests, as the doctrines of the Black
Republicans would lead to policy the best
adapted to promote the interest of the $780,
900 holders of slaves. The restriction of
the limits Of slavery to the present slave
States, would give them the monopoly of
slaves, Of slave territory, and of slave pro-
ducts; and there would be no end 10 the
wealth they could command If they were
Guided by their individual interests, as a
class, they would all sustain the Republican
doctrines. Extend the cotton area by the
annexation OF new slave States, and revive
the African slave trade, the value of negroes
would be but nominal, and the increased
production of cotton would reduce the price
to the cost of raising on the best lands, and
the exhausted soils of the old slave States
would hardlybe worth tilling There is
more power in these arguments to arrest
the spread Of slavery and the importation of
slaves than ia the most hitter denunciations
of slavery and its social aud moral iniqui-
ties.

A Bloody Array I'm Green County.
Some of our central counties are infested

with desperate set of horse thieves, coun-
terfeiters, robbers, aud murderers. How
such gangs CT villains have been formed in
these remote rural districts, is matter of
wonder to the people in other parts OF the
State. The Worthington, Green county,
Times, of the LIST inst, gives an account Of
an attempt of gang of Williams to rob an
old German, named Christian Deppa, living
seven miles south of that place, who was
supposed to have large sum of money in
his possession. On Saturday, the 18th in
slant, the Sheriff of Green county, having
received some intimation of the designs Of
the clan OF robbers, went to old man Dep
pe's house to warn him. Calling TO his aid
several citizens, they secreted themselves
near the house to watch for the robbers, old
man Deppoe being with them.
About IL o'clock at night, says the Times
three men we've seen entering the old mans
house, and Immediately commenced search
for Deppe's money. The Sheriff with his lit
tie band, surrounded them aud commenced
the arrest. But the burglars, as it seems,
having come amply prepared for any emer-
gency, commenced firing upon them, and
at the same time retreating. Several shots
were exchanged, in which VIM. q. Moss
fired upon one of the desperadoes, stunning
him severely and falling him to the floor
He was Immediately arrested, and gave his
name as Claypool.
Another man calling himself Homer was
arrested. The other one made his escape.
The shooting took place in the house, and
it was not until the confusion had subsidized
that it was known that Deppe had been
shot. He was found lying dead upon the
floor.
Ii will be remembers by some of our
readers that Homer, arrested by the Sheriff,
is the same fellow who testified so strongly
in favor of Bill Spells, who was arrested
some weeks since for passing counterfeit
money. The other man arrested is said to
be an eatire stranger in "these parts"
The excitement which this tragedy has
caused ia impossible to be described, and we
are happy TO say, from the indignation man
ifested by all our citizens throughout the
county in regard TO this affray, that Greene
county will be cleaned out-that is, every
lazy, lying, suspicious scamp viii be severe
ly lynched till he is willing to leave the
country.
The robbers were committed TO Spencer
county Jail.

By The influences OF the European war
upon the financial condition Of the world is

upon the financial condition OF the worlu II
a subject that is exciting much speculation
among commercial men. The credit and
capital of European bankers are based in q
good degree upon the public securities Of
the governments involved in it; and on
European banking is hinged the financial
operations of the world; and rs that rests
on political events, politics and finance have
become inseparable subjects of discussion.
Public measures and events are more dis
cusSed on the bourse than in the Cabinet.
This more than any preceding war, is a
conflict Of political opinions-a war Of dy-
nasties-apd if allowed to run its course
must result in the downfall of some Of the
existing governments, and in their ruin the
monstrous fabrics Of their financial systems
and public debt must fall. In such crash
the present generation Of bankers, loan
mongers, and financial spectators must go
down, as the bankers and fnanciers Of the
French Revolution and the Empire sunk
with the dynasties that had created them.
If such an event takes place, the creditsys-
tenn of the world will receive such shock
as it has never felt before. 1t will take
more than all the gold OF California and
Australia to fill up the vacuum that the ex-
plosion of public and private credit in Eu-
rope will cause. In the present condition
of affairs, slight event might produce a
political and commercial revulsion that
would shake the world to its centre.
A rebellion in Hungary while Austria
was struggling, amid her embarrassments,
for the preservation of her possessions i'll It.
aly-or a shot or dagger that should take
the life of Napoleon-might produce a shock
upon the Bourses of Europe that would in
volve the whole system of commercial cred
its throughout the world Commerce has
expanded its ramifcations till it embraces
the interests OF every civilized man it has
made community of interests among all
nations. The fluctuations of finance at its
chief centres are transmitted with electrical
speed through all the avenues of commerce.
The rise and fall in the price of stocks, and
the rates of interest in Vienna, Paris, and
London, are felt with the pulses Of the wire
that transmits the news in every town with
in our borders. We should be prepared to
meet these shocks; and though the war, il
it continue, may bring years of prosperity
/ 10 us, il will end in the exhaustion of Eu-
rope-the destruction of public and private
credit-and in political changes that must
/ produce financial and commercial derange-
ments, here as everywhere else, for which
! prudent men will be on the watch

The CrOn6.

The Princeton Clarion says: "There
perhaps never was a better prospect for
crops anywhere than there now is in this
county. The whole face of the country
seems to be covered with vegetation and
substantial products. The season thus far
has been most propitOus for the farmers
Corn is abundant, thrifty, and advanced.
Some farmers have plowed it the second
and third time. Wheat promises a yield
never before equaied hereabouts Oats
what there is-eNcels that OF previous years,
while meadows are rejoicing in the most
luxuriant growths OF grass. The fruit crops
will be good, hogs plenty and fat, and chill
dren dirty aud healthy
The Nincennes Gdzefe says the crops
in all that region of country never looked
more promising, Fruit, too, is plentiful.
Ii says apple, peach, and cherry trees are
loaded, while strawberries and blackberries
will be extremely plentiful
The farmers are all ia excellent spirits at
the prospect, and are specializing upon the
European war, and its probable effect upon
the price Of grain crops.

MeIancholY Suicide.

The Chicago papers of the lst instant
contain the following particulars of the SUI
icide of DR.. BIRCH, the Dentist, formerly a
resident of this city, where he had numer-
Gus friends before be fell into evil habits
1t will be pleasant TO them to know, as we
learn by private note from DR.. Byford, that
the Masons took charge of his remains, and
attended TO the last Offices to be paid TO !,
deceased brother
The coroner was called to hold an inquest
on the remains OF an elderly man named Birch,
dentist by profession, about fifty years of
age, and unmarried who has been boarding
at the Newton House, where his death took
place. The history of the unfortunate de-
ceased is sad picture of seli.ruin, The
blighting at iair prospects, and the wasting
OF more than ordinary talents aud advanta-
gee, by the intoxicating cup.
DIR. Birch has, in the places of his former
residence, won high reputation "a an in
telligent and scientific man. He has laid
his professional brethren under Indebtedness
to him for valuable additions 10 the appli-
snces 10 their art The medical journals,
have, in several instances, been enriched by
bis contributions OF reports of interesting
cases. Unfortunately, DIR. Il. became ad :
dicted to habits of intemperance, which di-
lninished his usefulness, and broke up his
business. At the time Of his coming TO
Chicago, sometime last year, he had reform
ed and for some months he maintained his
position on that point. He had numerous
friends among the medical profession, who,
through all that beclouded career, detected
that which gave him their esteem, and hope
for his future.
Recently, however, he had again com
menced yielding to the ensnaring vice, and
since has sunk rapidly, becoming much de-
pressed in spirits, and talking gloOmily of
himself. On Monday he called at the office
of one of our physicians, and after some
desultory conversation told him that he
should bid him good bye, and it was I'M
likely he would see him again. But little
weight was attached to this, other than as
token of his dependency. 1t was, how
ever, as would seem, of the nature OF a
prophecy, based on his already fixed pur-
pose of self-destruction.
Yesterday the inmates of the Newton
House were made aware Of the sudden and
violent illness of the unfortunate man.
Medical aid was summoned and the symp-
toms, as far rs could be ascertained, seemed
to be those of poison. The poor man was
importuned and entreated to tell what he
had taken, to describe his symptoms, to re-
ceive aid, but all without avail, and he died
in great agony.
At the inquest a post-mortem examina-
ton revealed that death resulted from dose
| of strychnine. At his rooms nothing was
found to indicate the means used until one
of the attendants picked up some torn bits
| of paper at the head OF the bead and had
the curiosity to put them together, when
the words "Strychnine Poison" were made
out. The verdict Of the jury was in accor-
dance with these facts

The cost Of Reading Matter in News
papers and BOOks.

The n. Y. Herald makes calculation OF
the reading matter il publishes weekly, and
compares the cost OF il to It's readers, with
the same amount of printing in books. We
are of opinion that the economy of printing
newspapers compared with books, will make
the former the medium OF publishing all
works designed for the million. The Herald
says
During the week ending Saturday, May
IA, we published in our seven daily issues
3,453,l7 ems. In the technical language
of printers, an sm is unit of space to meas-
ure printed matter. In volume of ordina-
~ size, containing three hundred pages,
there are 2s4,O00 of these ems The con-
tents OF the paper for week would there
fore make upwards OF thirteen volumes of
three hundred pages each-an average of
two volumes for each OF the six working
days aud one for Sunday. Taking snch
books to be worth, on an average, about
seventy-tive cents each, they would cost
nearly ten dollars in all and get ace gipe
the reader ths sshoie Of oar weeks matter, an
equal gadaiity and far more iafeTssttng, for
fourteen cents.
