While the news from the Gulf of San Blas, which we publish this morning, does not in- form us of the discovery of ‘a practicable route for a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, it is, on the whole, favorable. Notwithstand- ing the continuous rains, the work of exploring and surveying bad gone of without intermig- sion, although the progress of the expedition was much impeded by the unfavorable weatier. Twelve milos inland, over a summit level of not exceeding one huadred and twelve feet, had been examined, the principal route lying along the course of the Mandiaga river. Ex- plorations had also been made of the Nicalagua river, and a party under Lieutenant Hitchcock was exploring the Samgandi, which is the left fork of ithe Mandinga, and which, with the Nicalagna, flows in the direction of the Saa José. This latter stream is a tributary of tho Mamoni, whic flows ieto the Bayamo on the Pacific side, It now remains to be discovered how high the souree of tho San José is, tode- cide upoa the practicability of a route for an interoceanio canel between San Blas and Chepo. Already the firat apurs of the mona- tains had been “encountered, but they do not indicate that there is no low summitlevel along the entire route. Further explorations, which have doubtless been made by this time, were regarded as necossary before a final decision couid 0 arrived at. Meanwhile it is satisfac- tory to know that the officers and men of the expedition have been working energetically and faithfully, and that, whether they discover @ practicable route or not, the thorough sur- vey they have made of the isthmus will be valuabie to science. A Resvorvtton my Costa Rica.—Our cor- respondence from Central America, published elsewhere this morning, gives the details of a suecessful revolution in Costa Rica. The whole affair was somewhat grotesque in its character. Probably in imitation of tho famous trick played by the Greeks upon the Projans, nine revolutionists hid themselves in carts containing grass, and which were driven into the barracks at San José, At asignal they emerged from their place of concealment, shot down all who opposed them, took possession, and soon after arrested President Jimenez, A new government was then installed, headed by Dr, Bruno Carranza, who will retain power until some other revolutionist deposes him. It is gratifying to know that no “iyrants” were shot. Jimenez and all the prisoners were set at Iiberty, and at last accounts everything was going on well.

This year le has been peculiarly empbatic inexpress- ing his sympathy with modern progress and ia enjoining upon hia Cabinet and all the tunc- tionaries of his dominion the steady pursuit of reform—agricultural, industrial and judicial. He comes out most decidedly for internal improvements—railroads, river navigation, harbor facilities, better transportation, &c.— and fervently returns thanks to the Most High for the progress already attained. We publish this addréss in full in another column, as wo have translated it from the original text, specially transmitted to the Herarp. Itis highly interesting, in view of its source and the remarkable circumstances under which it has been pronounced. The mightiest potentate of the East has thus definitively arrayed himself on the side of modern ideas, and the light of progress, in completing its circuit of the world, at last is minarets of St. Sophia. Nor Equat to Bosworra Fiaut.—The- glorious battle of Bosworth Field, as it hath been many times fought in the Bowery theatre, was @ piece of combat—glorious and tena- ciously maintained—by comparison wilh the great Fenian fight of O'Neill’s soldiers. The Fenian battle was child’s play to the three up and two dowa of the Bowery heroes. TreLEGRAPA OsBLes TO CenTRAL AND Sovra Amerioa.—Our letiers from Panama and Jamaica contain the gratifying intelligence that the Wost India and Panama Telegraph Company were pushing forward the work of connecting the island of Jamaica with Cuba. Sir Charles Bright was of the opinion that by the first or second week in June Kingston would be in telegraphic communication with the United States and Europe. Some doubts appeared to exist as to the laying of the cable between Kingston and Aspinwall, because of a net receipts of telegraph companies working ia the republic. It was proposed to use the lino intended for the isthmus for part of the exten- sion from Demerara down the east const of South America to Rio Janeiro.

His Eminence Cardinal Antonelli accorded an interview ¢o one of onr special correspond- ents in Rome a few days since, The particu- lars of this interesting oceasion are published {n our columns to-day. The narrative is pre- faced by a biographical sketch of the eminent churchman—a man who has played such a prominent and distinguished part in both the making and writing of the history of the ponti- ficate during the past twenty years, Tho Car- dinal Secretary of State is a worker in the world—attentive, continuous and close. He has studied mankind, and although he has passed the greater portion of his days within the walls of the Vatican he has, owing to his extensive, vast means of informa- tion and in the keen and practised eye and ear of an able propagandist seen, as it were, the world, ‘‘which is a curious sight, and not at all as some good people write it.” Progressive in idea beyond the-rule of his school Cardinal Antonelli pays great attention to American affairs. He has studied the broad transatlantic field of the future, and is evi- dently happy to glean information from the laborers on-its soil, He anticipates the demo- cratic asylum of the tiara, the home of tho Popedom, when the Old World centre of unity shall have crumbled to the dust and the mighty builders of the West be called upon to complete the grand Christian edifice the foundations of which were so securely laid and consecrated by the men of the East. Cardi- nal Antonelli has consequently informed himself as to the materialistic condition of America—our wars, our debt, or system of of finance and diplomacy. The climate of the American Continent has also been considered in all its varying phases of temperature, and storms, and solstice heats by the divine—a fact which gives us additional reason to be- lieve that the members of the Sacred College have been reflecting seriously, perhaps de- bating, the original assertion of the HERALD, uttered many years since, to the effect that the seat of the Popedom would eventually be trans- ferred to American soil, The Cardinal, who was evidently in a genial mood towards our special writer, may also have been considering how appropriate and kiud at the time was our first tender of American hospitality to the first emi- grant Head of the Church and our offer to make his Holiness as comfortable as ible after his first landing. When we "Ben wrote the Italian element controlled the College of the Propaganda to a very great extent. We alluded, consequently, at the time, to astranger. The aspect of the question of the succession has altered considerably since. The American Episcopal element has become a great power in Rome. The tiara may thus come to us. This does not by any means alter the intent of our original feeling towards the bearer of the Seal of the Fisherman individ- ually. Should, however, the ballot of the Conclave settle the call of the Holy Spirit, the “ascending and descending,” the Anabanoin-~ tos and Katabanointos of the Holy Scripture onthe head of Cardinal Giacomo Antonelli, none shall rejoice more sincerely than our- selves. The utterances of his Eminence to our special correspondent prove that he is progress- ive and will consequently be the “right man” in the place, if chosen, at least for a period, and to tide time still onward towards the day when the universal Church shall be recon- secrated in accordance with the inspiration of the Sermon on the Mount. Mextoan “Smucanina—Presipent JUAREZ iw A New Liaut.—The investigations which have been made by a committee, of Congress touching that very interesting and lucrative branch of business, the business of smuggling over the Mexican border, have brought out President Juarez before the world in anything but an enviable light. We had supposed hin to be a patriot and an honest man, and the general sentiment of our loyal States during our Southern rebellion and the French protec- torate over Mexico was that of admiration for the bravery of Juarez in his struggle with Maximilian and France, and of approbation of the course of Secretary Seward in standing by Juarez as the embodiment of the Mexican republic. Now, if these reports of this inves- tigation into this Mexican border smuggling be true, Juarez, asa confederate smuggler, was an active and useful ally of Joff Davia to the end of our Southera rebellion, when, for all that time, a word at any time from Mr, Sow- ard would have driven Juarez out of Mexico, If this testimony is true, and we are afraid it is, General Grant will be justified in bringing Juarez and Mexico tos prompt and docisive settlement. Ove Larzst Apviogs From Brazit report the opening of the Chambers with a speech from te Emperor, in which, to the surprise of everybody, no reference was made to the pro- posed emancipation of the slaves. Probably this omission was due to the fact that the con- servatives are largely in the majority in tho Brazilian Chambers, and they represent the pro-slavery element in the empire. Unfortu- with Paraguay, and its successful termination has placed them ina more decided minority thanever. However, Dom Pedro is too shrowd a moaarch to run counter to the tendencies of the age much longer. Te once expressed himself as favorable to gradual emancipation, and we trust that he will recognize the policy of coimlag out cpenly in opposition to the coa- tinvance of slavery in his realm, Wonperrun Fisa Invastos oF New Jrr- | sry.—It has been a tradition of this vicinity that work is progressing and that before many | the hunters sometimes went out to ‘shoot shad with a shovel,” and ia Jersey they are realiz- ing the possibility of that peculiar way of tak- ing fiab.

General George P. Foster is the name of the Marshal, ‘Sir, I shall resist your arrest,’ said General O'Neill. ‘It will be useless, sir,” said General Foster. ‘But, sir, I am armed," said O'Neill. ‘So am/J,” said Foster. “John, opon that carriage door. Now, Mr. O'Neill (‘Mr. O'Neill’ is good), get into that carriage or I will put yoa in. 1 am going to take you to 8t, Albans right through the midst of your men, and if you make the slightest outery I will shoot you dead.” ‘Mr, O'Neill” saw that “‘the game was up,” and so he sure rendered, obeyed the orders of his superior officer, and was carried off, his unexpected adventures at the expense of the United States culminating in Burlington jail, Now, of all the practical jokes ever played upon the commander of an army in the crisis of a battle, this joke upon O'Neill is the fun- niest. That United States Marshal Foster is not only a trump, but he is a wag; he has not only the coolness, tact and courage of a first rate officer and soldier, but he has also a vein of wit and humor that would make him an excellent comedian. The capture and abduc- tion of “Mr. O'Neill” from his army in the crisis of its first battle, beats any curious thing produced in military science by Fox, of the Olympic, or the nigger minstrels, In point of fun it beats the surprise and flight of Jack Falstaff from his highway plunder, This remarkable capture, however, of the Fenian General carries with it a good moral, and it is this: when in command of an army engaged in battle ona hostile frontier enter no house for rest or refreshment without first ascertain- ing who is inside. ‘Woman’s Idea of Government. The public have during the past fow months been interested and perhaps edified by the ideas and impressions put forth by Mrs. Vic- toria C. Woodhull upon the broad, general subject of human government, a3 well as by her subsequent nomination of herself as a can- didate for the Presidency in the election of 1872, The articles in which she has announced these views and purposes have from time to time appeared in the HzRaxp, and to-day we present a further communication on the ques- tion of the ‘‘Limits and Sphere of Govern- ment.” It is evident that Mrs, Woodhull is imbued with at least one very sensible idea, and that-idea is one whieh it would be- well for large numbers of aspiranis for public posi- tions to emulate—viz., that fitness Is the first prerequisite of qualifications entitling the secker to enjoy the position sought for. This it is, doubtless, which has led her not only to study and perfect herself in the nature of the fanctions she seeks to exercise, and their effect, and, in the honest belief that she does understand the question, to give her opinions to the people, that they may judge of Mer ability and the correctness of her views. At the same time it is somewhat difficult to see what good will come out of this particular Nazareth, Mrs. Woodhull offers herself in apparent good faith asa candidate, and per~ haps bas a remote impression, or rather hope, that she may be elected, but it seems that she is rather in advance of her time. The public mind is not yet educated to the pitch of uni- vorsal woman’s rights. At present man, in his affection for and kindness toward the weaker sex, is disposed to accord her any reasouable number of privileges. Beyond that stage he pauses, becaugé there seems to him to be a something which is unnatural in permitting her toshare the turmoil, the excitement, the risks of competition for the glory of governing. There is therefore but one position that may be taken in considering the aim of this am- bitiows lady, and that fs that, perceiving and fully appreciating the natural obtuseness of man, she has boldly put herself forward with a view to wearing down these scrapulous angles in his sympathetic character and nature, | and that she will, afttr all, be content with the knowledge that.she has done her fail share in educating him for the new order of things which shall supsrvene when woman in all mat- ters bas equal rights and duties with him.
