WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL 17,1S67. DAY-BREAK. \ I waa standing in thc pearly Twilight, of tho morning early, With my face Through the jrdlory pillars turning Where the east was faintly burning With a trace Of delici?os light jost breaking. While tho day was slowly waking In sweet grace. Far and near the orchard reaches, Blooming plums, and blossoming peaches, Thick as hail On the wind serenely flowing. Scented leaves were richly blowing Fink and pale; * And the clammy dew in clusters, Starry, corrasoated lustros, ' * In the veil Of the heavy Dowering vohraes Quilting walls, and covering columns, Braiding alendar, trellis-woven.

I was sleepy, languid, shivering With the icy spring-air quivering And a Biorn, Half disgust, and half of anger, (llore of sloth, and much of hunger,) For the sea-green lawns, and fl- <wery Opal tops of orchards bowery, S?kon corn.

ITS CLIMATE, TIMBER, MINES, FIB HER IES, AGRICUL TURE, GEOGRAPHY, ETC.-A REPORT FROM UNITED j STATES CONSUL COLLINS, LAID BEFORE THE SEN? ATE PREVIOUS TO THE RATIFICATION OF THE CES? SION TREATY. NEW YORK, April 4. To Ute Eon. Wno. E. Seward, Secretary of State oj the United States: ii The many erroneous statements in the press of the day in regard to the country of Russian America has induced meto lay before you a number of facts not generally known to tho public, and which I trust may be valuable to the Department of State. In my investigation to determine the route of the Russian American Telegraph, I sought the highest Bourceii of knowledge in regard to the physical and topographical condition of the north western limb ol' our continent. As early as. 1856 . when I first visited St. Petersburg, I embraced every opportunity to become acquainted with Russian officers and parties high in authority who were competent to-enlighten me on the subject and studied all the maps and books that could be found relating tort. . Y BearAdmiral irulghelm, now Governor of the Am cor country, and who held the office of Governor cu' Russian America for fivo years, has also given me much valuable information. I have also had "frequent conferences with the Governor and Di rectors of the Ra asian American Company, from whom much han been learned. The boundaries .and general outline have been so frequently and fully given, than nothing need be said further as to tho location ol! Russian America. Commencing at 5-1 degrees 40 minutes north la ti tude, on tha Pacific, the mam land is marked by a succession of inlands to- the Alia ska so that open . boats or small river steamers can navigate safely between the islands and tho main land Many of thew islands aro covered with splendid timber, and the waters abound in fish. The coast of the main land is densely timbered, T, hieb fact was one of the causes which induced the location of the Russian American Telegraph to be made inland east of che mountains. . The first river of any importance that enters tho sea in Russian America is the Steeken, or St .Francis, in about 55 degrees of north latitude rivet has been followed by our. exploring _esto the cascades, where it breaks through }. coast. rango of mountains dividing British Colombia from. Russian America. This river is . ' found navigable for boats fifty miles. After pass? ing the cascades it again becomes navigable for - some distance toward the Rocky. Mountains. Game and ?ah are'abundant, timber good, and gold mining - bas. already been commenced by a . party of Americans. Natives are quite numerous . during tho fishing season, but are reported friendly, and anxious to i;rade furs, etc., for merchandise. Itis said that the prospect for gold on this riverie equal to the old 1849days of California. lhere are many small rivers as you ascend along the coast, and pass over the mountains into tho British possessions, and parties of natives trade with the interio r tribes more to the east and north by following the source of these streams, and thus arrive in the volley between* the coast range and .the Rooky Mountains. .The..next river of any im? portance is tho Oopper Mine, .which,enters the sea' in view of Moimi St. Elias, in about 60 degrees north latitude, and 142 degrees west longitude. "This river is or importance in consequence of its icoatioh and tho access it gives to the interior, as it unites by a bte the waters of the Yukon within BriHBian. territory, 'giving almost uninterrupted ' navigation from, the coast on the Pacific, bs. way of the Yukon and ISnitchpek, to Behring's Sea, thus giving easy ac jess through a large part of tho southwest limb of this country. Next comes Cook's Inlet, and a river entering into it, which the Rus? sian American Company use in connection with the ' Kcoakovine to reach the Knitchpek and Fort St. I Michael. Y Jitter passing the Peninsular of Allaska, we find a considerable iitream entering into Bristol Bay. ? This stream, by a system of lakes, is said to con? nect with Cook'* inlet. Next in order comes the JKooskovrmes, & river of considerable magnitude, and of importance to the country in giving access to the interior. This section of . the connery gives considerable trude to the Russian-American com? pany, and in winch they have trading stations. The largest, most important, ana the chief and queen of all the rivera wost of the Rocky Moun? tains, and north of 46 degress north lattitude, is ?he great Kmtchpek, which enters into Behring's Sea between 64 and 65 degrees north latitude, by several mouths, and on the parallel of 165 degrees west longitude. This great river has an easterly course for some five degrees, then bends abruptly to the north some four degreed, thence nearly cast to a point not "AX distant from tho British frontier, whexe it receives the Porcupine or Rat River from the northeast, and the Yukon form the southeast ; the junction o?'these two rivers tbrm .'the Kmtch? pek ; it is navigable to the sea, a distance of 1000 miles, for steamboats. This river had never been seen by white mon in i+s whole course previous to explorations fer the construction of tho Russian American telef.Taph ; in fact, on many maps the Yukon was tra-:ed as an affluent of an ima-mary river, emptying into the Arctic Ocean, but the ex? plorations have determined a great geographical fact, which places the Kmtchpek at the head of all rivers on the northwest coast, and riving Russian America the largest river north of 49 degrees. As we proceed north through Behring's Strait, and enter the Arctic Ocean, we find Kotzobue Sound, which is fed by a considerable rivet, on which is a large population; here is found, like on the coast of the Arctic Siberia, extensive deposits of animal remains, where fossil ivory may becomo, as in Siberia, an article'of valuable commerce. Further east there are many bays and sounds, and beyond Point Barrow thc Colville River enters Garrison Bay. This river has its main course to the south, and the natives report it navigable and inhabited from a point not far from the northern bend of the Kmtchpek to the sea. Fort Yukon, the head station of the Hudson Bay Company, west of the Rocky Mountains, is ou ( 1 Russian territory. This fact has not been cstab- ] lished by Government survey, yet it is well known t to both Russia and England.* No difficulty has ? grown out of it between tue two Governments, be- 1 cause the Rossi an American Company and the 1 Hudson's Bay Company, who have enjoyed exclus- 1 ive trade in these regions, came to an under- 1 standing as to their interests along tho lino of the c disputed territory, in order that there should bo A no conflict one way or the other among tho natives. < They were for peace along the boundaries, and no r doubt pursued a wise course. j Major Kemficutt, chief of an exploring party, t who died on the Knitchpek last year, had spent, t some years preyi?usly, a winter at Fort Yukon. Ho t describes the country as favorable to trade and of S-eat importance to tho Hudson Bay Company. \ e explored a large district of the country around t the fort, generally on foot. He entered the conn- 1 tryon his first voyage by tho Mackenzie River i pass, returning the same way on the voyage for < the exploration of the route of the telegraph. He i entered by way of Fort St. Michael, near Behring's < Straits. Gu the upper waters of the Knitchpek, j and upon the whole course of the Yukon, timber t is plentiful; the country abounds in game and the i rivers and lakes afford fish. Salmon ascend the t Knitchpek in great numbers and are largely taken j by the natives for food, both for themselves and t their dogs during the win ter. The natives are rc- ? ported by Major Kennicutt, and by employees of the Hudson Bay Company, as peaceable anc won? derfully honest, theft being rarely known among i them. They are a vigorous, enterprising people, 1 ?nd very fond of foreign trade and merchandise, though tho difficulty and cost of transportation bv t way of Mackenzie River route limits tho supply t?? t much below the demand. ' ] Navigation by way of the Knitchpek would mere* ie ? tho trade and Taroo of thia emmi ry ono hun dr in a few years; in faot the Knitchpek, with upon it, would reveal a new world to enterpri au venture. By this stream the wholo of al to unknown country is brought within the re steam communication from San Francisa when tho Stars and Stripes shall flaunt a Yukon we may.look for mines of gold and being discovered quito as rich as those f south. Tho furs or this countrv are wond< plentiful, and form a valuable anti extensiv< meroe both to tho Russian and British tr That tho Hudson Bay Company con afford to E>rt their merchandise ana supplies overlain udsou Bay, or by way ot St. Paul, and J their furs over tho same route, jg* startlin deuce of the value of the trade, because trai tation over this long route cannot cost less tl per pound. With the Knitchpek open to navigation, ten cents per pound from San Fr co would pay enormously. Upon the whole, Russian America, with i pendencies, the islands attached to it, is a va! country in itself, viewed intrinsically. It is no a country as Oregon or Washington in clima soil, but it hos, nevertheless, many souri wealth. In the southern part gold is known to exist Copper Mine River, whence its name, there ii poi, though, as a mattor of policy, the RT American Company have not encouraged mi because they feared mining, even ii succe would soon break up their monopoly of th trade and open the country to the searching of foreigners and the demoralizing influei cheaper goods and more lucrative employme the naives. Thc isheries along the coast and islands build up a population and commerce t hera w at no distant day, will rival Newfoundland au coast of the Atlantic, east of Cape Cod. The s and banks along the islands or Russian Au are the resort of myriads of codfish, unsurp for size and delicacy. Once give us a lodgi these fishing towns will soon spring into tence, giving for our Pacific ooast a nursei first-class seamen, which, in the growing merceofthe Pacific, will be just what wo there in the future, in order to give us the 8 macy of that ocean. The fisheries alone are % more to ns th ?n the whole cost of the cou and will repay us in the future simply for tl vostmont. The immense population of Ask the islands of the Pacific will be good custo for our surplus fish, and will readily take a have to spare* Timber for building purpot abundant and convenient; Baw-mills will make the lum ber trade a source of great profit only for domestic uso, but for export to Ash the more southern islands. Boat and shipb ing can be carried i on on profitably where j timber is so abundant and easily procured. The acquisition is also valuable on accou several deposits of coal along tho ooast and isle At Codiac, the Russian American Company worked a coal vein for some years past, and used it in their forges and workshops, as well < their steamers employed hi carrying on their < meroo with California and Asia. Nor is this country to be counted os nothii an agricultural point of view. Wheat, barley oats can be produced as far north as 60 degr gardens flourish along the ooast in the Rut settlements, producing all the vegetables requ for domestic use: It must always be remembered that the Pa coast is much warmer than, the Atlantic coa equal degrees. The isothermal line of Sitka, ( Archangel,) is equal to Newfoundland or Petersburg. That is, about 40 degrees to ? grecs of Fahrenheit, and the mean of tho i mometer is ascertained to be 45 degrees fouri utcs ; winter, 34 degrees seven minutes ; suuu 56 degrees two minute s. Taking it then as a whole, the country of ] sian America cannot be considered, as s would have it, a dreary waste of glaciers, i cebe white hears, and walrus, and only fit for the qui maux and drinkers of train oil. One more article of commerce must not be sight of, that is ice. On the islands there are ra frosh water lakes, which afford an ihexhanai supply of very pure'ice. The trade in ice, so has been conducted either by the Russian Am can Company or under their permit, conseque the ice trade has not been developed to any gi extent. This trade in the hands of Am?ne would soon grow to wonderful proportions, for. reason that these lakes in Russian America sui the only ice suitable for shipment on the Pa< north of the Equator. I did not mention in on when speaking of the fisheriee, that all the ; North, from Codiac to the Artic, whales are foi in great abundance. Codiac and Bristol Bay all whaling grounds, and many a New Engl, town owes its wealth to the large catch of wm in Russian American waters. Walrus are as pl tiful at and about Behring's Straits as blackber. ore with us in August. With American nab settlements along the coast, the ivory and oi these walrus will become no small source of wei to our enterprising fisher men. One more fact in regard to climate and temi atore. Major Kennicutt died at the great east bend of the Knitchpek, 500 miles by the cours* the river from its entrance into Behring Sea. 1 ice in the Knitchpek broke; up jon.May 24, and May 25 a portion of his companions embarked mi+ive boats, taking with them Major Kennion body,.navigated the river to the sea, without structura, nd then coasted north 70 miles, .Fort St. Michael, a post of tho Russian Amen* Company. This proves a great deal as to : favorable temperature of that country, and mal tho Knitchpek nearly as early as the BL Lawrei in point of navigation.1 '. ?'.'.'fa .?

Tho New York Herald's Paris correspond? writes March 29: The health of the young Prince Imperial, son Louhi Napoleon, who is now eleven years old, said to be delicate. It is an ominions fact that : one hundred and sixty years no monarch in Frar has been succeeded by his son. Thus, Louis Xl was the grandson of Louis XIII.; Louis XV. v the grandson of Louis XIY.; Louis> XYL was t grandson of Louis XV. ; Louis XYLTL was t brother of Louis XVI., Louis XVLL dying in chi hood, and never came to the throne.

The Day Forty-eight Honrs Long, Last week we showed that tho first beginning oi ;he day is somewhere between America and Asia Fh? precise locality of that* somewhoro has no seen determined.

Th< lay would start from a meridian fine extending 'rom pole to pole, and the longitude of this da? ine would be so accurately fixed, that a mai night stand astride it and realizo tho paradox o: laving one foot in Monday and tho other in Tues lay. Many of the readers of this will live lon? mough to hear this subject discussed in nationa councils. We propose now to show that Monday, or anj )ther weelc day, is forty-eight hours long; womeai) ;hat during forty-eight hours Monday is on earth jomewhere to be found. Tho Monday of this city is of course twenty-four hours long, but before ind after our Mondav there ?B Monday in some )ther quarter. When Monday begins in New York, there havo beon three hours bf Monday in London, ind for three hours after our Monday ends there rill bo Monday in San Francisco. Thus between ihesa places Monday lasts eighteen hours. Now f the day lino wore at our antipodes, Monday ifould begin there twelva hours before ours, and md twelve hours after ours. Thus, for the space jf forty-eight hours, earth is not rid of Monday. Die fact may bo illustrated in another way. Sup nose we are at the day line. Monday there be? nns, and in twonty-four hours along comes Tuos lay. But just west (half an inch, if you pleaso), donday began only an instant before it ended east rf the hue. Tho Monday oast of the fine is twonty bur hours long, and west of tho fine is tho same ength, and in all Monday lasts forty-eight hours. [Scientific American. ICELAND WHALE FISHERY.-For a century, thoro md been scarcely any whale fishing carried on ut iceland, and the long repose had caused the llsh o increase abundantly; until an enterprising \morican recently established himself at Seydis iord,,onthc cast coast, where, in company with lis four brothel's, he adopts a peculiar method of ishing, which is described in a report just laid he tore tho English Parliament. Tho fisherman puts rat to. sea ina small screw steamer, with a largo vhalo boat in tow, and strikes the whale by means )f a harpoon shot from a sort of rocket apparatus. The handle or stock is charged with some detonat ng compound wliich explodes as tho weapon enters he fish, killing the whale almost instantly, but ho generation of gas in its body prevents tho linking of tho carcass. The destructive missile is the American's own in? dention. Ho counted upon being able to approach ho whales in his steamer near enough to take aim, rat they invariably avoid it, and it has been found ?ecessaVy to shoot them from tho bont. Tho body >f tho whale is towed to lund and the carcass cut ip on the strand, and the blubber mid bones at race crushed aud boiled down for the oil. Last rear the catch was twenty-iive whales, which gave m average of 100 barrels of oil per whale. The vhaleboncs are sent tc England, where they are said to be used for making Prussian blue, and a jrqiect has been broached fer pressing the flesh md sending it to England for feeding dogs and ?igrs. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says : "One ;honsand workmen have struck work at tho Port and stone quarries, and have been idle since rueadav. on account of the discharge of some of ,ho number for voting tbo Democratic ticket at ,he recent election, and fifty of the mill hands at lockville have also lost their situations for a ?iuiilar reason."

Residos the Telegraph, which; has probably a larger circulation than any other doily journal in the world, reaching 140,000 copies,: and the Star, which is a party paper and less pride-, ly read, a new penny paper, called The Day, has inst been started. It isa quarto, each page as: large as the Times, printed in clear type upon good paper, and filled with very good and roada-: I ble matter. The paper alono must cost more: than the price of tho printed sheet,-notldng, therefore, can support it but a very large , amount of advertising. Notwithstanding the progress of the English penny Press, the Times maintains the supremacy, and will, doubtless, do so permanently. Its money, and, what is of still I more importance, the great experience and sagooi-] ty of its managers, command ? or its columns tho ablest and most brilliant waiters of the day; and there is, and always will bo, a large class of peoplo in England who prefer quality to cheapness, and who will have tho bost nt whatevor c-st. In spite of rivalry, tho Times continues to be by all odds, in all its" departments, the abl?st newspaper ever published, lot without in thc least disturbing tho position or influence of that great journal, tho Penny Press has become one of tho "institutions" of England. / GOOD EXCUSE.-The laBt number of the Weekly Pine Bluff (Ark.) Dispatch apologizes for the small amount- of editorial matter in that issue, on tho ground that Major Sparks, the editor, is absent; Captain Block, who is editor during the Major's absence, quite sick and unable to write anything; while ?ie Military Bill having become a law, the remainder of the attaches aro too much "skeart" to say anything, unless they talk about the Fe? nians. Besides all that, the "office is half full of snow, the printers nearly frozen, the publisher's cow run dry, the editor's wife out of wood, the hens unwilling to lay, and the writer himself in despair from these manifold ills. ' He says to his Eatreus, if these reasons ore insufficient for the orren condition' of his columns, they may go to Boston for better ones. . COMMERCIAL. Exports.
