There is feeling of relief here over a
report that the government means at
last, and after what seems to everybody
here overmuch delay, to come to the
relief Of our fishing interests in the
Gulf of st. Lawrence and the British
America waters. The United States
man-of-war kearsarge is to proceed al
once 20 those waters to protect our fish
ermen against further outrages, violence
and wrong; and what il thought by oul
people of even greater Importance, Col
Fitz j. Babson, collector Of this port
aud Mr.. Alfred Foster, of Boston, who
was connected with the Halifax com.
mission, are to 90 out in the kearsarge
as commissioners, to make an official
report of what is done wrongfully to
our poor fishermen to prevent them
from using their rights under the treaty
for which the government paid 80 many
millions. Mr.. Foster is lawyer and
knows all the laws Of the case, and will,
it is understood, defend our people in
the colonial courts, where they get very
unfair treatment. Col. Babson knows
more about fishing interest than any
other man IL Massa 3husetts or in die
United States, and Will be able 10 show
precisely what losses they suffer from
the misconduct of the Dominion peo-
pie,
The appearance Of the Kearsarge in
the colonial waters will show the people
down there, at least, that our govern
ment does not can to have our poor
fishermen run over any more. Mat
tiers have come to an intolerable point
down there: we are worse off than be.

Miner 1t raised a sprinkle in Pres colt today, July 7th, 1869. On July 7th, 1868, the wet season, it con- menced raining similar to the starter we had this forenoon. In '6S it rain ed 4 days, and good corn or other farm produce could have been raised on the top of our highest mountains, as proven by the fact that General Deven made a scout through the hills Tn pursuit of Indians, and at a point on the high mesa, east of Prescott, which was covered with brush, his pack train carrying forage, stam- peded, scattering corn over several acres, which grew up and produced corn without any cultivation, save the planting, which was done by the mules hoofs tramping it into the soft earth.

THE WATER QUESTION.

To certain extent, fears arc cn tertained lest the supply of water for irrigation purposes the coming year, will not be adequate for the demand, should d greater area be sown. Whether these fears are well ground ed we know not, but as larger body of land is cultivated every year, the supply must of necessity be dimin- ished. There are several plans by which this difficulty may be obviated viz: by the concentration of water m one or two large canals, thus saving a great amount of wastage, and an- other by the diversion of crops. The growing of wheat and barley requires much more water than that of sugar cane, broom corn, cotton, flax and others that are equally as remunera- tive. Tic soil of this valley is pc culiarly adapted to the raising of cane, and a good harvest would be certain every year, and the same may be said of cotton and flax. A zen tleman, connected with a sugar re- finsry in San Francisco, who recent ly paid a visit to this place, gave it as his opinion that sugar cane could be grown here, equally as well as at the Sandwich Islands, and that it would hc one of the best industries of the country. In the event of a scarcity of water by the present source of sup ply, artesian wells will have to be bored, and other means resorted to. The formation of this valley i, well calculated for wells of this character, as the best authorities on this subject state that artesian water is found where high mountains are near al hand, and where the valley has q gradual descent. Several attempts have been made in the Territory foI striking artesian water but without success, owing no doubt to not con forming to the conditions of the land Proper precautions taken now to reg ulate the supply, will save an i'm mense amount of trouble and annoy ance in the future.

General James Bomford was a marvel of personal strength in his younger days and while serving as captain in the Mexican war ''took down. q Mexican hully at Toluca. The bully entered store one day, and, while his hand was lying on the counter, Bomford, without saying word, took his place by his side and placed the point of his elbow on the back of the hand and pressed it as though it had been in a vice. The aatonished Mexican squIrmed and twisted in his efforts to extricatc his hand, but to no purpose, and he re signed himself to the position Bom- ford asked some trifling question of the keeper of the store and quietly Jeff. The bully was not seen in To luca again during the stay of our troops.

The Town Trustees have lately been experimenting with prison la bor. In consideration of the work they agreed to pay for the services of the guard. During the past week the prisoners have been engaged in clearing off fhe cemetery grounds and some $21 has been paid the guard at the rate of 8 per day. Previous to putting the prisoners to work some men had agreed to take the en- tire job for S24, so we don't think this will be a very profitable arrange ment for the town. Some of the prisoners who are taken out refuse to perform any labor, which accounts for so little being done. As reme- dy for this obstinacy we would sug- gest they be fed according to work done. Let them earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. Nc sweat, no bread.

The Dariea Ship Canal project.

New York, July Gth.-The Tribune says: Senator Burnside defends his resolution respecting the Isthmus Canal, on the ground that while the North American continent below the Canada border will eventually be under the control of the United States, movement to establish this highway with European capital must be regarded, as in certain sense, an intrusion upon American territory.
 Senator Burnside informed Zri- 6uu1s reporter that his Isthmus Can al project was offered in good faith as timely warning to the European Powers, thSt whether the Canal be built by a foreign government or by individuals, it would antagonize our interests. When there is need of such a canal our Government can loan it's credit for it's construction We shall soon have three railroads across the Continent supplying ample facilities for transportation.
 Speaking of the DO: sible appoint ment of General Grant as the Presi- dent of the Intcr-Oceanic Canal, the Herdld thinks the General would not be caught by such q fiattering bait, and adds that LesSeps has fallen into q serious mistake if he thinks that little adroit tiattery can change tine settled purpose of the Government of the United States respecting for eign interference with the affairs of this continent.
