Kentucky boasts of 20, 900 Democratic
majority. This, of course, insurcs good
law, and 4 vigorous enforcement thereof
Property and person are, beyond pcradven-
ture, safe. This would have appeared. no
doubt, iii all the Democratic journals, were
it not for the fact that the military have
been called out to suppress numerous bands
of horse-thievcs, barn-burners, high way
robbers, and cut-throats, who have taken
entire possession of Lincoln and adjoining
counties of that State. These amiable
Democratic liegemen are no doubt at this

-Emigrants from foreign countries are
pouring into the United States more nu-
merously than ever. The average number
of passengers by steam from Liverpool is
not less than one thousand per day, while
many must come on sailing vessels. The
greater part of the present influx is from
the German States, though there are many
Swedes and Englishmen. Ireland is by no
means exhausted yet, but the proportion of
newcomers from that is not so large as for
merly. 1t is remarked that the people now
settling in this country are of an unusually
intelligent and prosperous class. ALI such
should be made welcome, as they add large
ly to the wealth and productive capacity of
the nation. In addition to the influx from
Europe, thousands of Canadians are now
leaving the province and seeking new homes
in our Western States. The tide of popu-
lation setting toward us proves that no.
where else in the world can be found SO
much personal liberty and security, com
bined with a fertile soil and the assurance
of safe and permanent government.

VIRGINIA CITY, NJ. T., June 1,th, 1869
M. Eriag Il have had quite an extend
ed trip since visiting Cecil. The day after
calling ut your Office, | started for the
Mountains by the b. & o. r. r. to Par
kerrsburg thence to Cincinnati; thence to
Chicago, Omaha. and by the Union Pacific
Railroad to Ogden, then the terminus of
the L. p. Road. From this point | travelled
south $50 miles, through the Mormon set
Elements, stopping day i'll Salt Lake City,
and a week with brother who is 200 miles
south of the city, buying cattle to ship
North to Montana. From this place l
travelled on horseback across to White Pine,
Southern Nevada-distance about 800 miles
rough trip. The country over which l
travelled was barren desert most of the
way-days very hot-and long drives with
out water. Made the trip across i'll eight
days; visited the different districts III the
White Pine country looked at a number
of their silver mines and WAS soon con-
vinced of the fact that the country was not
what one would suppose it to be by reading
the newspapers and is no such a country
as Montana. | started from there on horse
back but the Indians stole my horse, so |
went back to Hamilton City and took stage
to Elllo, on the C. p. r. r.; then by cars
to end of track walked across to the L.
p. Road-the two were then but ten miles
apart, and We're completed three days later.
From this point | took the cars on the l.
p Road to Corenne, Utah, and then by
coach to Montana, where | am now located.
and think it the best country i'll the Noun

4 SUBMARINE STEAMsHIP.-Accounts of
a new plan for building war vessels are
given in the German papers. Otto Nosel
proposes to construct Il submarine steam
ship, and the Berlin Brrsen Zeitung asserts
that the Prussian admiralty has approved
of the plans submitted for Inspection
The vessel, covered with strong plating, is
entirely below the surface of the sea, with
the exception of the deck, which is sur
mounted by vaulted iron roof of immense
strength. Beneath this covering heavy
guns are placed, so that the whole greatly
resembles tirst-rate iron-clad. 1t is said,
however, that besides all the advantages of
such men-of-war, the new ship may be en-
tirely submerged, and in this position is so
completely under command that it can out
weather Il storm or attack an enemy with
submarine cannon and torpedocs. Mr..
Vogel is now engaged in constructing 4
large model, twenty-fnur feet in length,
which will soon be finished.
