BOILER ScRAPER-A New INVENTION.
III. D. Cooper, of New York city, has in
vented an apparatus which he calls Gooper's
Boiler Scraper." 1t consists simply of shaft
set lengthwise across the inside, and near the
lower portion Of the boiler. Attached to this
shaft are number of arms or scrapers. One
end Of the shaft is continued through the
boiler head, by a steam tight box, and to it q
crank is attached by which it may be turned.
The scrapers are so set that when the shaft
is turned they remove from the bottom Of the
boiler, or disturb any sediment that may have
settled there. By turning this shaft two or
three times round, once in three or four hours,
any sediment that may have settled in the bot
tom of the boiler is disturbed or loosened and
again mixed with the water. BY this disturb
ance the formation of scale is in measure
prevented or at least retarded. Stirring up
the water in this manner also facilitates the
more perfect discharge Of sediment in blow
ing out. 1t is claimed that this arrangement
is a very useful one. 1t was patented in May
last.

On the 9TH of July last Mr.. Golden, in the
House of Commons summed up the beauti-
full fix that Great Britain is in for conducting
a foreign war. He said:
srWhat could you do in n war with 10000
900 of Germans to carry out your own will IN
regard to this question: ! am now speaking
in answer To the honorable gentleman the
member for North Warwickshire. What
could you dn % ;.aintain that slice OF land
in SchleSwig for the Danes We should
have to fight the whole German people, in
frenzy of excitement, thoroughly in earnest,
ilnbued with convictions which are the growth
of ten or twelve years constant pamphleteer-
ing, lecturing and newspaper reading. You
might attack Austria. You might dismem-
Der Austria from her outlying populations,
but would the German population greatly
grieye to see the extra-Teutonic limbs OF
Austria cut aways You would not be at
lacking the German race there, and it is
against them that you have grievance.
Your navy would do little. It is proposed to
send an army either to Germany or elsewhere
to contend in the field against great militia
~ nations Your army is already engaged
in other fields. You have at this moment
upwards Of 10000 troops in India, and 5000
troops for the depots at home, making about
5000 troops for India alone. You haye two
little armies in China, separated from each
other by 1000 miles Of country. For the
first time you have this year placed detach-
ment of troops in Japan. You have 10000
men fighting somebody's battle-I will not
say whose battle-in New Zealand you have
10000 to $4,000 troops in British North
America committed as point Of honor to
the task Of defending frontier line Of l,5O0
miles against country which can keep
100000 men in the field. You have besides
other detachments at the Cape Of Good Hope
and the West Indies, and you are just emery
ing from 4 war with Ashantee, to say moth
ing of your garrisons in Malta, Gibraltar, and
elsewhere. The world never saw such dis
persion Of forces as that. It used to be re-
ceiyed maxim in war that concentration gives
strength, and dispersion entails weakness.
l do not say word as to the policy of keep
ing these troops distributed all over the world.
merely state the fact, and ask you wheth-
er YOU think the circumstances OF your hav-
ing these troops scattered abroad in these re-
mote fields is not duly taken into account,
and is not employed in discounting your
force in the eyes Of nation in Europe to
whom you use menacing language. say
that it would be folly, and that it would be
childish il we were to conceal from ourselves
these facts. do not quote them to dispar-
age your power at home. begin by saying
that you are all but omnipotent at home; but
when your newspapers are telling us that it
is with difficulty that you can find recruits to
serve in your army, you surely cannot expect
foreign Governments to be inundated at the
prospect Of your going to war with them on
land"

A New TELEGRAPH LINE TO THE PAoI-
F1c.-From journal (The Nor Wester)
published at Red River Settlement, in the
Hudson's Bay Territory we learn that DIR.
Rae, the Arctic Explorer, and a'fellow-enter-
priser, Mr.. Swei@r, arrived at thet place on
the Doth Of last month, in the capacity OF
pioneer surveyors of an intended line Of tele-
graph which is to stretch from Red River to
3he Pacific, on British American territory.
DIR. Rae talks confidently Of rich gold fields
in prospect ON the Saskatchewan, and he
hints that Imperial money will be got 70
open up the proposed line Of communication.
The obstacle in the way Of realizing these
dreams Of progress in the Northwest is the
anomalous form Of local administration UNI
der which the Territory is held. Until q
regular Government on the colonial or some
other system is formed, telegraph and other
enterprises fall into the category Of purely
ly visionary projects.

BUTLER AND BANKS ONLY MILITARY
GovERNoRs.-General Grant is instituting
changes in the system as well as in the prac-
teal conduct Of the war, says st. Louis
correspondent. He don't believe in civilian
Generals, or politician Generals, but wants
TO let them down as easily. as possible, in de-
ference to the President. Thus he found
convenient opportunity Of snubbing General
McClernand before Vieksburg, ana now he
has probably inspired orders which have just
been issued, virtually reducing Generals But
Ter and Banks TO the Office Of Military Gov
ernors, by restricting their commands and
limiting their departments. On the whole,
with considerable experience to help him
along, Banks has been failure in the field.
The credit Of Port Hudson was mainly due
to Gen. Wetzell, who planned the approaches
and was the leading spirit Of the siege. But
Ter has been in but one battle, and though
there defeated it was clearly his duty TO fall
back. rather than endanger Bermuda Hun
dred. Nowhere else has Butler ever directed
field movements. He has ordered expedi-
tons and planned raids, but, unlike Banks,
he has never been under fire more than once
beyond his own camp. But Grant is down
on political Generals, on common sense
principles, and hence his disposition to re-
strict their privileges.

PsAcs.-The Cincinnati Enquirer, one Of
the leading peace organs Of the country, says:
aThere Is but one issue before the people,
and that is, not how the war shall be con-
Quoted, but whether It shall be conducted at
ali. TheD Democracy are for immediate peace"
There is no Disgusting this preaching, nor
the position Of the party from which It comes.
What is the meaning Of "peace, immediate
peace" but the most shameful and disloyal
submission to the rebellion. How otherwise
can peace be attained to-day, except by pur-
chasing the cessation of hostilities on the
part of the rebels, at the price of yielding
them everything they ask. And what is this
but the rankest, the most obnoxious form OF
Copperheadism the declaring to the world
that liberty surrenders her sword to slavery,
the confession that America is failure, and
the hope of the oppressed Of all nations is
extinguishedi The disguise is too thin to
impose upon the loyal heart Of the. country,
and the peace party should be made to feel,
that they cannot be permitted, under the pre-
tence of moderation or humanity, to tamper
with that which is most precious to every
true American, his country, free, liberty low
ing, liberty guarding, the cynosure of all eyes,
the asylum Of all ations.-RereiHe.

STATE aIaHrs IN THE SOUTH.

.
The principle of estate Rightsvi is and
was the only political idea that the
Southern people ever had. That idea was
their God, John C. Calhoun was their
Prophet, and the Virginia and Kentucky
resolutions were their Bible. On that
principle they declared war upon the
General Government, and have carried on
that war for three years a war which
has devastated their land, beggared their
people, and made the whole South battle
field and graveyard. And now, when
they have done and suffered thus, their
" Confederate Government" knocks seven
bells out Of the whole /" State Rights
idea, and old JEFF firmly puts his foot on
the necks of the squirting Governors of
the Sovereign" States of the South.
Several of those Governors protested"
against this order of things last April, but
old JEFF treated their protest with con-
tempt. Since that time, Governor Brown
of Georgia and JEFF have had some spicy
correspondence upon the subject, growing
eat of the latter refusing clearance to
one Of the Georgia steamers, unless half
the cotton on board should be cleared on
account of the "Confederacy." Governor
Brown rants about State Rights, and
e denies Jef-s right to do so and so, but
it all ends in JEFF having his own way,
and the State Sovereignty business going
to the wall. The correspondence appears
in the S. F. Bulletin, which paper sums
up on it as follows:
This is a pretty specimen Of the rights
that the States obtain with such q cost OF hui
man lives and--cottonl If the spirit of CAL
houn epioys any tolerable view Of what is
going on under the sun, he must be intensely
happy over the issue of the struggle he be-
gan. And If the war between the Union and
the insurgents should cease to-day, how long
would the Confederacy hold together Re.
lieye it from the pressure Of war, anditwould
surely tumble into as many fragments as
there are States now banded in rebellion.
Each would set up for itself, and each lie at
the mercy Of any stronger power to pluck It
down. Stop our war now, and the South
would become new Mexico, and speedily IN
sheer faintness and poverty welcome new
Maximilians and new Napoleons to play the
guardian. If we would not have European
sovereigns parceling out the last fragments
of the severed and re-seyered South to their
troublesome nephews and the sons of their
left-handed marriages, the war now waging
must 90 on till there is not 4 township be-
tween the Potomac and the Gulf that is not
loyal to the Union. Our war is first 20 crush
the Confederacy, and then to save every shat
tered fragment Of it to the Union.

REFERRINe to the Pampanoosuc, the n
Y. Tribune says: "This splendid ship, which
is to be to the great screw feet OF 1865 what
the Niagara was to that Of 1856, is now fully
under way at the Boston Navy Yard, and
will be in frame very soon. Her unusua,
size and strength entitle her to be considered
the largest wooden man-of-war in the world.
She is longer than the Persia or Niagara, al
though not Of so heavy tonnage as the lat
ter, when she was launched. The Mersey
or the Duke of Wellington in the English
navy does not carry SO formidable battery
as that designed for her. 1t will consist Of
fourteen of the best guns in the United
States service, and it is said that none Of
them will be less than ll-inch bore.

gentlemen and ladies left Aurora for Mono
lake, where they intend to remain about two

contain boiling springs and numerous other
curiosities.
