Lines Inscribed to Gen. Soott. Verses inscribed by Mrs. Gen. Scott to her husband: Oh, Star of the West! throw thy radiance be nign, . Unchanging and strong, on the warrior s way! May the waves that surround liim, through favor divine, * lie as lustrous and calm as thine own cheer ing ray ! “The hero of many a battle” goes now More joyfullt forth on a mission of peace; Oh, Star'of the West! be the prototype thou, Os success, whose blessings shall never sur- 1 cease! God prosper the bark that hath lxirrowed thy name; Supplications heart-born to his throne arc ad dressed, For the good and the brave and the pious who claim Our devotion, our prayers, in the “Star of the West.” They go all unarmed, (save with holiest views,) The isle of ambition and strife to arrest, For the spirit of John (loved Apostle) imbues Hearts now seeking his isle in the “Star of the West.” Unarmed they will land mid contention and wrath, But on high ’tis ordained that “peacemakers are blest They will follow once more their long, long ocean path, And regain their own shores w ith the “Star of the West.” Still on, gallant Scott! true disciple of Virtne! \V hose justice and faith every danger will breast; Avert the sad conflict—Heaven will not desert you ’ There are angels on guard round the “Star of the West! Mr. Choate’s Conversational Powers Mr. Choate’s conversation was grave, rich, and stately; yet always there was a play of humor glimmering through its thoughts, delighting and dazzliDg by turns. You never heard him say much, however g r avc, without catching some thing thrown in at once startling and sparkling, or strange and mirthful. Ido not think I ever saw him, even in his own house, where, of course, there was no disposition to do anythiug for effect, either in his library or at his table, fa tigued or fresh, without bearing bim say something in that quiet and sometimes sepulchral tone of his, which could hardly fail to set a smile on the grimmest feau tures. It was not done for effect, but the natural play of a great and truly frolick some mind. The dry, quaint, and fear fully sober manner, too, in which he would utter these things, intensified their effect very much. As frequently in cour* he would throw off a scintillation, which, when repeated, would seem not very hu morous, perhaps, but which his porten tously solemn visage and manner would set the jury, the bench, and the audience into convulsions of laughter. Ilis words in talk were the same rare and high-sounding words which he used in his speaking. Ido not believe any man in America, if even in the world since Adam, bad such a remarkable vo cabulary of language as he bad. It was the language of learning, of literature, of romance, of art, of newspaper, of slang even, all mixed up together. But chiefly, I think, he delighted in long words—“ long-tailed words in osity and ation.” I asked him once how be sup posed that a plain jury beforo bim, of farmers and workmen, were going to un derstand that dclugo of dictionaries with which for three hours he had over whelmed them. “Well,” said he laugh ing, “ they know which side I’m on, and they know I spoke a great while, and that’s enough for them to know about it.” He did not accord at all in Mr. Web ster’s veneration for tbe Saxon element of our language—the world short, simple, and strong. lie rather agreed with Thomas de Quincy, that the Latin ele ment of the toungue is needed to bear in upon the mind an impression of general power, of beauty, and of sensibility.— When he chose, or the exigency deman ded, he could salt down a thought into the smallest and snuggest sentences ; but ho did not often choose.— Col. Parker's Reminiscences. Statistic** of Headache. The Medical Times and Gazette con tains some interesting medical data, ob tained by inquiries made in tbe usual course of professional experience, con cerning the causes of headache. Os ninety cases cited, seventy-six were fe males—a number which establishes pretty strongly the fact testified to by most of the old writers, that females are more frequent sufferers. Os the seventy-six females forty were single. The predispo sition in the case of females is believed to originate in the nervous system—suscep tible of nervous disorder being much of teuer found in the female than in the female subject. It is likely to exist in organisms which evince a capability of so much fineness and delicacy of percep tion, united with so much proneness to emotional excitement and in which the functions of organic life are observed to be so readily wrought by passing states of thought, sensation and emotion. Os the exciting causes, emotional dis turbance has the highest number. Out of the ninety-nine cases fifty-three de clared this to be one of the causes of their attacks, forty-eight also considered that atmospheric states were to be blamed, and twenty five specified thunder. In re gard to inheritance of the liability, in nineteen cases the mother is mentioned, in nine the father, and in twelve both parents; in all, forty gave explicit evi dence of hereditary predisposition, and a few others mentioned cases in collate ral branches. Out of the ninety cases only nineteen blamed their diet. As to the influence of climate, twenty-nine seem very clear that they are at least lia ble to attacks of headache in places where the air is dry and bracing; six commend cold atmosphere, and six con demn it; eight praise warm atmosphere, and three dislike it; six are in favor of sea air, and four are adverse to it. Fa tigue is mentioned as an exciting cause by thirty-two. ♦ Balloons and tUe Balloonists. The New York Journal of Commerce, of the 2d inst., says : We learn from the Home Sentinel that Mr. C. C. Coe, who was injured by falliug from a tree while trying to extricate his bolloon, lies prostrate unable to turn over without help. His fall produced an inju ry to the spine, and it is feared lie will never fully recover. La Mountain, since his expedition to Canada, appears to have become satiated with aerial voyaging, and to have aban doned the business. Mr. Haddock, who accompanied him in the perilous trip, probably will not go up again at present. Fros. Lowe, who has been experimen ting upon the credulity of tho people of New York, if not upon aerial navigation, has discharged his gas, and stored his monster air ship away in some safe place for the winter. It seems probable that since the bal loonists have satiated their ambitiou for ascensions, we shall have a cessation of this mania for a while. Rope walking and ballooning have had a great run during the past season.— probably something else, perhaps equal ly foolish, will turn up next year. If not, we must make tbe Presidential election answer the purpose. Horses going South. The Richmond Dispatch says : Two or three, and perhaps four, of the Virginia turfmen are preparing to stan South with their horses, and will probably leave here by the last of the month. T. and T. W. Doswell will take with them the invinci ble Planet, Fannie Washington, and Ex chequer (and Nicholas I.!) and, if no ac dent happens, will visit Charleston, Au gusta, Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans before they return. Planet is now looking as fine as silk, and if be starts in good condition and on a good track, the horse that beats bim will have to make the best time yet on record. We know that every racer from here to New Orleans will be glad to tear his laurels from his brow, and it may be that some of them will succeed ; but if they do, the backers of Planet will have little use for other races this season. Heavy Tariff on Ghost*. The Montgomery Mail of Monday says: On Saturday last, the House of Represen tatives passed a bill and sent it forthwith to the Senate, by whom it was passed instanter, imposing SSOO per day, on all persons dealing in spiritual manifesta tions, &c._ It is a clear case, that our de- L parted friends cannot visit us at the price.

Lord Brougham and Slavery *n Georgia , Rev. C. W. Howard, one of the editors i of the Southern Cultivator, says: Our attention has been called to a par- j agraph which has appeared in a number j of newspapers in which Lord Brougham is represented as saying, in substance, that slavery was forced upon Georgia, while a colony, by the mother country. His Lordship is iu error, and the error is one which in the present state of public opinion as to slavery at the South may do harm. We are perfectly familiar with the whole facts of the case, having examined the original documents relating to it, in the State Paper Office in London. Slavery was prohibited in Georgia, at it? settlement, by the Trustees. The grounds of its prohibition, as stated by the Trustees, were prudential—not moral. General Oglethorpe, himself, owned a plantation of negroes in South Carolina, at the time he was at the head of affairs in Georgia. One of tbe motives in the settlement of Georgia, was to establish a strong force in a favorable position to check the advance of the Spaniards from F’orida. Another was to give a home and employment to numbers of white per sons iu England and on tbe Continent, who were the victims of misfortune.— Another was to introduce the growth of silk and wine, b„th of which were sup posed to require a degree of intelligence not attainable by negroes. The introduc tion of slaves was deemed incompatible with the ends proposed by the founders of Georgia. The colonists very soon ascertained that ibis prohibition was fatal to them. Carolina flourished—Georgia languished. For years tbe colonists petitioned to be allowed negroes. Instead of increasing in numbers, Georgia in 1740 was reduced to one-sixth of its former population.— The persons most influential in inducing the Trustees at last to allow the introduc of negroes, was the celebrated George Whitefield. We preseul an extract from one of bis letters, as a pleasant theme of meditation to tbe abolitionists. “God is delivering me out of my embarrassments by degrees. With the collections made at Charleston, I have purchased a planta tion aud some slaves, which I intend to devote to the use of Bethesda.” (the Or phan House.) The Highlanders at Darien, and the Moravians at Ebenezer were averse to the introduction of slaves—they constitu ted but a small proportion of the popula tion—the rest were most eager to be al lowed their use. After years of petition, in tho year of 1746, the law against the introduction of elaves was repealed. The effect of this repeal was magical.— All the interests of the colony prospered, and its advances was repaid beyond com parison. The introduction of negroesintoGeorgia. instead of being a compulsory measure, of England, was an act of necessity, sug gested by tbe painful experience of the colonists. White had been tried and found to be practically useless in the climate of our sea coast. The African alone was found capable of enduring our almost African sun. This chapter of Georgia history contains a pregnant les son of instruction. It teaches the abso lute necessity to us of tbe institution of slavery, and the insane folly of those who would disturb it. H. Suit by a Husband for Seducing and Alienating the Affections of bis Wife. In the Supreme Court this morning, before Judge Hear, trial was commenced in the case of William A Cochrane vs. George L. Perry, 11. F. Durant and H. C. Hutchins appeared as counsel for the plaintiff; J. C. Abbott and Charles F. Choate for the defendant. The action is brought by the plaintiff, charging the defendant with seducing and alienating the affections of his wife, Frances E. Cochrane, aod damages are claimed in the sum of $40,000. Mr. Hutchins, in his opening remarks, gave a brief history of the case. The plaintiff, a merchant of this city, was married in 1853 to Frances E. Fowle, daughter of Charles Fowle, then of this city, but now of West Roxbury. He kept house in Shawmut avenue several years, but his business improving he moved to East Brookline street, upon the south side of Franklin Square. On the day in question, he agreed to take his wife to West Rcxbury to see her sick mother, at six o’clock in the after noon, but heariug tbit her mother was worse he went home at an earlies hour and found the parlor locked. The de fendant was found inside under peculiar circumstances ; that Mr. Cochrane epught hold of his collar, when the defendant drew a pistol, and soon after, without further molestation, left the house. Mr. Cochraue took his wife home to her mother that night. The next day she removed her things from the house, and has not been there since. Mr. Cochrane broke up housekeeping. He had but three courses left to pursue; to be quiet, and thus leave it to be inferred that he had wronged his wife; to shoot the se ducer, as they do in other climates; or to bring this suit. Sixteen witnesses were then called and sworn for the plaintiff. One witness, a book-keeper in the em ploy of Mr. Cochrane, testified that he boar Jed with Mr. C., and that the family was a happy one. Mr. C., after the oc currence in April last, was much agita ted, aud walked the room all night. Since then his health is impaired, and he is not the man of business he was before. —Boston Traveller, 6th. Acting Richard with a Canine Ac compan lament. Sol. Smith relates the following: At a sitting iu New Orleans, we were “put ting through” a candidate in Richard (he Third, when, just as he started from his couch in the last scene, exclaiming, “Give me another horse,” Ac., a little fist of a dog flew at him, and seiz ing on the seat of his trousers, hung there till taken off by his master, who was ac ting at the time as sergeant at-arms. Os course the would-be tragedian was re quired to try the scene over again—and again ; but every time that confounded dog would get loose and attack him in the rear! 1 have no doubt he had been trained to it. At least six times he weut to sleep, and old Jack Green, as the Ghost of Henry VI., with a cigar in his mouth, repeated the line, “ Wake, Richard, awake! to guilty mind a terrible example!” And Richard every time bounded from hia coucb, flourishing his sword, and stag gering towards the fottlights, exclaiming, “Give me another horse! BiDd np my wound*” [“ here’s that dog again—can’t he be tied!”] Election of Texas U. S. Senator. Nfw Orleans, Dec. 14.— Advices from Galveston to the 11th, state that Lewis T.

The following admirable production, delivered before a company of volunteer soldiers during the Revolutionary strug gle, upon the eve of their going to “glo rious war,” was calculated to inspire them with more than Herculean courage. Mine Frients :—Ven virst you corned here you vas poor and lousy, and now, mine frients, you is prout and sassy, and yous gotten on your unicorns, and dein vit yon like doings upon hog’s pack ; now, mine frients, let me tell you dis, a man is a man if be is no bigger as my dumb. Yen Tavid went out to vite mit Goliab, be took nothing mit him but von sling; now, don’t mistaken me, mine frients; it was not a rum sling; no, nor a gin sling, no, nor a mint vater sling; no, it vas a sling made mit one hickery schtick. Now, ven dis Golish seee Tavid coming, he says: “You von little scoun drel, does you come to vite me ? I vill give you to the birds of tho fielt and de beasts of air.” Tavid says: “Goliah, Goliab, de race is not always mit de shwift, nor ish de battle mit de strong, and a man is a man if be is no pigger as my dumb.” So Tavid he fixed a stone in his sling, and drows it at Golinh, aud nocks him rite in de vorehead, and Tavid takes Goliah’s sword and cuts off his heat —and den all the purty cals of the sbiddy comes out and strued flowers in his way and sung, “Saul ish a great man for he has kilt his thousands, but Tavid ish a greater man as be, for he has kilt Goliah.” — - - The Philadelphia Movement. The Philadelphia Ledger, of Tuesday, alluding to the Union movement in that city says: The people have too long supinely rested while loud-mouthed fanaticism has been preaching treason and disunion, and exalting crime to a level with the highest degree of righteousness. If such folly, wickedness, blasphemy and disregard of the most sacred obligations under the laws, are permitted to go on unchecked by any countervailing opinions from those who constitute the real strength nnd power of the Republic, we Bball soon see an end to our government and our pros perity, for the Union will of necessity fall to pieces under such felonious assaults, aud the once proud Republic will dwindle into petty States, each struggling to keep itself alive by imposing most op pressive burthens upon the trade and bu siness of the people. The good sense of the people is capable of averting such a calamity, and there is no time so favora ble for its exercise as the present, when one-half the Union is standing in amaze ment, wondering whether all this blatant approval of John Brown really proceeds from a thorough and general corruption of public sentiment in the North, and whether the exaltation of the hardened and daring criminal as a hero is to incite others to imitate his unlawful acts. Hovel Wager. “Pink,” the interesting New York cor respondent of the Charleston Courier, speaks of the following funny wager on tho result of the Mayor’s election in that city: One Tom Fleming of this city, disa greed with a friend as to who would be Mayor. Tom had no money to bet with his friend, but agreed, if he lost, to buy a broom and sweep the croeeing of Fulton street, between the Herald and Sun build ings. Tom went against Wood, and con eequently he lost The streets are very muddy, and he is sweeping away to day, to the amusement of a great crowd of lookers on. The agreement was to sweep from 8 o’clock in the morning until 4„ in the afternoon. • ——• Death of Dr. Martin. We are grieved to notice the death of Dr. Martin, of this city, Clerk of the preme Court. He was found this morn ing at 3 o’clock, on the pavement, at the foot of a stairease, opposite the Milledge ville Hotel, with bis head fractured near the top of the spinal column. The wound may have been occasioned by a fall from the steps. Dr. Martin never spoke or manifested any consciousness after he was discovered in his helpless condition. He was immediately taken to his residence, where he expired about 12 o’clock yesterday.— South. Rec., 14. A Matrimonial Kink. A man is at present living in this city, says the Hartford Courant, who has been rather unfortunate in bis connubial rela tions. He is living with his third wife. His first two left him, as he did not, they claim, act the part of a tender, provident husband. Neither of these ever applied for or received a divorce, yet each of them bas another husband, with whom they are now living, one in Fairfield oounty and the other in Windham county. The fa ther of this luckless individual lives with his second wife in Litchfield county. His mother lives with her second husband in Rhode Island, and neither the father or mother vere ever divorced. The state ment herein set forth is “a true copy,” and a parallel case, perhaps, can be found in no other part of tho world. Beatkera Armory. The resolutions offered by Mr. Broylee, of Whitfield, were adopted in the House of Representatives yesterday, requesting the Governor to confer with the Execu tives of the several Southern States, on the plan of establishing a Southern Ar mory, and in the event of their not agree ing that he shall appoint some suitable person or persons to make inquiries and estimates for such an establishment in Georgia—all the information to be laid before the next General Assembly, “ to maintain our equal and undeniable rights in the Union, if we can, and out of it if ‘we must.”— Southern Recorder, 13*A. ♦ Hurra for the Babies. We see in a Pickenß paper, that there will be a baby show in that county soon. Look out for squalls. There will also be a show of Babies at the Pickens County Agricultural Fair be tween Dr. William G. H*****n, and Thos.

We regret to learn that our old friend, John W. Shepherd, Esq., Supreme Court Reporter, was run over by a loose horse, while on his way to church, on Sunday morning last, near the livery stable of Messrs. Smith and Chapman, by which he sustained a painful injnry in the spraining of bis ankle. Mr. Shepherd had several children with him at the time, but all of them escaped unhurt, we un derstand, with the exception of one, aud her injuries were not severe.— Mont. Advertiser, 15 th, A Terrible - ♦**#; The experiments wltfi belle* shells filled with molten iron from a cupola fur nace of new construction were resumed at Portsmouth on Thursday. On the former occasion it will be in the remem brance of our readers, the shells were filled on board tho Colossus, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, and fired trom a gun on board the Excellent gunnery ship, a considerable time elapsing between the shell being tilled and its being tired at the object, rendering lb result of the riment futile for the purpose intended. Since that time, the Stork gun-boat, ten der to the Excellent, bas been fitted with one of the cupola furnaces, aud from this vessel the firing took place on Thurs day. The results were of the most satis factory nature, proving the fearful power of the missile on its effecting a lodgement in any part of a ship; os shortly after the firing commenced, the Undaunted frigate, moored on the mud of Porchester Lake (which was the object fired at,) burst out into a mass of tiame from the fore channels, right aft, and burnt for some time furiously. The Stork then gave her some shots near her water line, and sank her as well as the depth of wa ter wculd allow. A floating fire-engine was then afterwards towed up by a steam tug from the dockyard to put out the re mainder of the fire. From the appear ance of the Uudaunted when the tide had left her, the fire must have obtained great hold upon her before it- was finally ex tinguished.—Manchester Guardian , 3oi>. 2(5. Royal Race of the Plontagencta. What race in Europe surpassed, in royal positiou, personal achievement aud romantic adventure, our own Plantage nets —equally wise and valient, and no less renowned in the Cabinet than in the field? But let us look back only so far as the year 1637, and we shall find the great great grandson of Margaret Planta genet, herself the daughter and heiress of George, Duke of Clarence, following the cobler’s craft at Newport, a little town in Shropshire! Nor is this the only branch from the tree of loyalty that has dwarfed and withered. If we were to closely investigate the fortunes of the many inheritors of the royal arms, it would soon be shown that in sober truth “ The aspiring blood of Lancaster Had sunk into the ground, ave, and deeply too. The princely stream flows through very humble veins. Among the lineal decendants of Edmund of Wood stock, Earl of Kent, Sixth son of Edward I, King of England, entitled to quarter the royal arms, occur a butcher and a tool-gatherer; the first a Mr. Joseph Smart, of Hales Owen ; the latter a Mr. George Wilmot, keeper of the turnpike gate at Cooper’s Bank, near Dudley.— Then again among the decendants of Thomas Piantagenet, Hake of Gloucester, fifth son of Edward 111, we discover Mr. Stephen James Penny, the late sex ton at St. George’s, Hanover square—a strange descent from sword and sceptre to the spade and pick axe!— Sir Bernard Burke's Vicissitudes of Families. —— •*- Little Patti. The second appearance of Adelina Pat ti, at the New York Academy, was even more successful and triumphant than her first. The Tribune critic, (Mr. Fry,) not an easy critic to satisfy, says of it: The Becond performance of Miss Ade lina Patti confirmed all the favorite im pressions which were excited at her debut. We never knew of so brilliant a first ap pearanceon the stage; with debutantes in ordinary there is always a qualification as to the excellence of the vocalization —of the method, the style—the executive accuracy. But with Miss Adelina Patti is none of this required. She executes better than Jenny Lind, and about equal to M’me Sontag. About this there is no mistake. W’onderful it may appear that a young lady of sixteen—brought up in New York—should Lave extemporized such a conclusion, but so it is. In this executive certainty, Miss Adelina Patti has probably not her equal now in Eu rope. Indeed, we cannot name any ce lebrity there since the death of M’me Bo sio, who is with the same rank. Mississippi Legislature. The following bill “to protect the peo ple of the State against Northern fanati cism,” has been introduced in the Mis sissippi Legislature by Mr. Smylie, of Hinds : Its provisions exempt negro property from seizure and sale to satisfy debts due in States which are opposed to tbe rendi tion of fugitives from service, and it a'so allows a citizen of the State, whose negro has escaped to a Northern State, and whose recapture is prevented by a local law in said Stale, to garnishee any money or property belonging to a citizen of said Northern State, which may be in this State, to satisfy the value of the fugitive who may have escaped, and whose rendi tion is refused. It was referred to the Committee on State and Federal Rela tions. * Caged birds are the source of much pleasure, and while they give much hap piness if they are kept in good henlthy condition, seem to enjoy life nearly, if not quite as well as their mates in the bush or the wild wood, —especially if, either from laCkof memory, or from bliss ful ignorance, the caged birds do not know what pleasures they lose. “Where ignorance is bliss, ‘tie folly to be wise.”— One of the great drawbacks to the happi ness of birds, and to the pleasure of keep ing them is lice, and having recently learned of a safe and sure way of remov ing them, we give it to our readers : Lay a piece of Canton, or cotton flannel over the cage at night, several nights in succession, taking it off at daybrak.— Multitudes of lice will be found upon it, which are easily killed. After a few days all will be removed. A case in which this was very successful, has just been brought to our notice; from a pair of bobo-links hundreds of these parasites were removed in this way.— Mich. Farmer. Rail Road Accident. The Chattanooga Gazette learns from a gentleman, who was on the oars at the time, that the cross ties gave way on th* East Tennessee and Virginia Rail Road, about one mile east of Strawberry Plains, on the Bth inst., and that the train tum bled off the embankment to the ground— a distance of thirty or forty feet. There were sixty or seventy passengers on board, and there were only a half a dozen who escaped uninjured. When heleft no one had died, and he thought it probable that all might recover. Some escaped with but slight briuses, while others had limbs broken and some were badly burned by the stoves. One old gentle man from New York Cily, was seriously injured. If no one should die of the* wounds received, this terrible affair has ended better than such accidents gener ally do.— Nash. Union. Aecldent. A little son of Mrs. Lanier, residing near Fort Browder, in this county, acci dently shot himself, whilst out gunning a few days since. It seems that in getting over a fence, the hammer struck some thing hard and the piece was discharged, the load passing through the flesh part of th# arm above the elbow r causing a very painful though not dangerous wound.— We hope to hear of tbe little sufferer's speedy recovery.— Eufaula Express lotA. Pat was dry, and got out of the cars for his refreshment; the cars, very thoughtlessly, went on without him, Pat’s ire was up. “Ye spalpeen! he cried, starting on a run, and shaking his fist as he flew after the train. “Stop there, ye old stame wagon ; ye mutherin stame injine—ye’ve got a passenger on board that’s left behind.” Incendiary Publications Prohibited.

Attempt to Kill a Wlf. We learn that a man named Bedsell, was sent to Lowndes county jail for an attempt to kill his wife lately. He‘s said to be occasionally insane. Mail, The Balloon Children. The following account of the accidental ascension of “the Harvey children,” from near Centralia, Illinois, Sept. 17, 1858, we extract from Life Illustrated. It will doubtless be interesting to many of our readers just now, as Prof. Wilson, its author, is ltie’gentleman who made the ascension from the Oglethorpe Hotel on Tuesday last: “Soon after witnessing one of the most splendid sunsets that my eye ever rested upon. I found myself slowly descending upon a large forest. I regretted very much to find the ascension power giving out so soon, as I had anticipated a long and pleasant journey by moonlight. In fact, I had prepared myself with suffi cient clothing to reach the Atlantic Ocean, if the aerostat would carry me there. . After feasting for an hour upon one ot the most gorgeous views that nature in all her loveliness can present, I amused myself by perusing some newspapers that were given me to distribute on the way. I threw out ballast when I had descend ed within half a mil* of the earth, and soon went up to the height of three miles, where I remained till near dark, when the power of my machine again gave out, as it was not well coated with var nish, and I descended in a field on the farm of Benjamin B. Harvey, about sev enteen miles from Centralia, and three from Rome. The grappling iron caught in a small tree, and Mr. Harvey and son came to my assistance. They took hold of the anchor-rope and drew the mrosat, while I remained in the car, to the house. Mr. Harvey’s family and some of the neighbors soon collected around the bal loon, and seemed as much astonished as the Digger Indians and the descendants of Montezuma were at tny ascensions from Mexico and California. As they had never seen the “elephant,” some ot them concluded to take a ride in the bal loon. Accordingly, the anchor was made fast to the fence. Mr. Harvey mounted the car. while his sons and some of the neighbors let him up a few feet by hold ing on the rope. 1 warned them several times to hold the rope, as the air ship might slip her anchor and leave them in the lurch. After Mr. Harvey had sat isfied his curiosity in balloon riding, be placed his three youngest children—two girls and a little boy—in the car. While he andhiß sons managed the balloon, I stepped one side to converse with the la dies, who were asking me many questions about my serial voyage. After the three children had remained in the car a few moments, Mr. Harvey took out the oldest daughter, which gave the balloou so much power that it jerked away from them and the fence in an instant, and in a minute was out of sight, leaving us completely overcome with fear and amaze ment at an accident of so novel and thril ling a character. The emotions of the parents may be more easily imagined than described, when they heard them cry, “Mother, let me down; mother, let me down,” until they had disappeared ap parently among the stars, and could be heard and seen no more. I informed them that tho balloon was not very tight and would come down, I thought, in one or two hours, and not go more than ten or twenty miles away, as there was but little or no wind at the time. Although it went toward the northwest when it as cended, I told them I thought it would go east, in the same direction in which I came from Centralia. I informed them that there would be no danger of the ohildren falling out of the car, as the ropes were too numerous and close. The most I feared was, that they might come down in a large forest and not be easily found. I advised them to arouse the neighborhood for at least, ten miles around, particularly to the eastward, as I believed the balloon would go in that direction. Mr. Harvey gave me bis horse to ride back to Centralia, to have tbe news sent by telegraph nnd tail road in every direction. I reached Centralia about twelve o’clock at night, and in the morning had an extra published, and the news spread as soon as possible. Mr. Knowles and I went in search of them on Saturday, and were told by different per sons that the balloon was seen passing toward tbe west in different places from eight to ten o’clock at night. Saturday evening it was reported that they were found safe several miles from where they went up, but it was not known to a cer tainty where they were found—at CeD tralia—until Sunday morning, when it was ascertained that they had safely de scended about eighteen miles southeast of Mr. Harvey's, near Mr. Atchison’s bouse, suspended in the air,fc the anchor having caught in a tree. Saturday morning, Mr. Atchison had gotten up eatly to look at the comet, or “blazing star,” as he termed it, and dis covered tbe balloon, when the little girl called to him to pull them down, telling him to do it “easily.” The little boy was found asleep. The little girl said her brother complained of being cold when they were very high. * She did not pull the valve-string. The ball remained in the air probably longer than I did, as it bad more ascensive power in proportion to its weight. A brother of the children gave me t heir names and ages—Martha Ann being eight, and David three years of age. The joyful news reached their parents about two o’clock on Saturday, and the children came home the same evening, on which occasion the rejoicing must have been equal to the sorrow which had so lately preceded it.
