Our father we will love tbee stills Tbo' Time’s sad diaDges daily dim Thv feeble eyes, and bow thy head, Oli.precious father trust in Him! We've wandered from the parent nest, And built onr homes far from the tree, Where in our young and helpless days, We drew our life and hope from thee. bong yea's of toil for others' good. Bequeathes us neither wealth nor f„me, J ut all the Indies could not buy Our father’s pure mid honest name. Great sorrows shade thy heart aid home, And life has nothing thou would'st crave: E'en hope has fled, and left no light To shine between thee and the grave. But she whose heart was tluge always, Who gave ws life, stiSUitigers near, And not a sigh or pang of'thine, But is reflected in a tear. Let not misfortune cloud the light Of filial love and friendly care, Nor p.ay for rest and home in Heav’g, While we are unrepentant hero. V7e know that Heavefi is nearer thee. '1 ban ail the glories earth may claim, But. oh ! what blessings cluster round A lov'd and cherish'd father’s name ! Then father live, eh, live for us I That we mhy not despair and die— Htill let thy radiant countenance shine. Resplendent o'er our troubled sky. Milledgea h i, i'. G a , Aug 25th, 1805.

A Remarkable Idvtnlarc. } Mr. Coxwell. in a statement made, to The Northern Whig, says the inflation and ascent of tbe balloon, which ascended in ; Belfast. Ireland, recently were in every respect satisfactory. At an altitude ol about 3,000 feet the air did not appear to be near so strong as it was closer to t'uc earth. The course of the balloon was vertically over the top of the Cave Iliii. j and the country beyond for about 10 miles looked to'bim to be well suited for landing. ! However,at that distance tbe hill seemed to : -iso tip in mountainous ranges, and Mr. j Coxwell particularly inquired of the pas ^ sengvrs whether they could give hint any j information respecting the nature of the country on the other side of the hills, aud j whether it was suitable for making a de scent, because, if it was not, be would rather come down before approaching the hills The gentlemen in the car were naturaliv anxious to extend their voyage! as far as possible, without thinking of the ! suitability of the ground en w hich they should descend. When the balloon was brought down it ! w as found that the country was w orse than could have heon expected—roi gh, rugged and rocky—and, in fact, the most unsuita ble place for a balloon -descent that it is possible to conceive. The anchor, or \ grapnel, would not hold in the rocky soil — it broke away from everything, and the | consequence was a series of bumps and col li) ions of a most frightful character. Had there been any hedges or trees in the neighborhood, the balloon would ia all probability have been stopped in its pro gressat once; but, as there was no likeli- j hood of getting the anchor fastened at that place, it became Necessary to throw the large valve open to its fullest extent, and af ter about two-thirds of the gas had escaped, ami the balloon was almost crippled, the valrje line unfortunately broke. Every i person in the car then felt that the only j thing to do was to get out as quickly as i possible, and Mr. Coxwell gav.e orders for ail to jump out and save their lives. Two gentlemen did not obey Mr. Coxwefl’s summons to spring out at once, and imme diately afterward a sudden gust of wind came and carried the balloon up a higbth oi forty feet. Nothing could be done and the gentlemen who had succeeded in get ting on the earth failed tc hold tke balloon down, and she ascended with the two gen tlemen who had remained in the car. It appears, from what we have been j able to ascertain orf the particulars of this second aerial voyage—one of the most ex- ; traordinary ever heard of in the history j of aeionauting-—that, as the passengers j who had succeeded in getting clear of f’ue ! balkxn were on terra fir ma, the Research > ascended with tremendous velocity. Some distance from the scene of the first serious adventure the balloon struck against a rock, below which was a deep valey, aud . threw out Air. HaHertv, who had to fall a distance of about 20 feet before reaching the ground. The balloon ascended again : at a very rapid pace, carrying then a soli tary' passenger, Mr. Runge. who from > what we. have been able to learn must i have ascended a distance of at least two j miles. Jits presence of mind, it appears,) never deserted him, and he made the most i extraordinary exertions possjble with his j knife and some instruments left in the car to make a hole in the silk, for the purpose of allowing some of the gas to escape. At the same time he was almost benumbed with cold. Whether his exertions to ef- , feet a descent were successful or not, Air. : Runge himself is not able to tell ; but after going eight or ten miles further, to Glena- tiff, the balloon descended as rapidly as it , had arisen. It was then.bet ween 9 and 10 ; o’clock, and Air. Runge had been a solitary j traveler through the clouds for nearly an hour. [ On approaching the ground he observed a great number of people watching in won uoiment the proceeding of sttefa a rare i visitor to the romantic Glencriff. The balloon came to the ground with a aread- iul bump, when the then captain of the j Research cried as loudly as possible under j the eheuinstances to assist in capturing; the unruly monster; but the people, seem i inglv frightened at the appearance ofttte thing, ran away. Immediately afterward the grapnel was caught by a tree, and a woman who was near, with a conrage de- • serving of all praise, and offering a strong j contrast to tiie conduct of the affrighted men who ran away, seized some ropes which were hanging from the balloon and , endeavored to«attach them also to the' tree; hut before she succeeded in her) laudable exertions the balloon by the ,. vn j.i)‘)l iron pulletl tho tie* train He root. J and llew off on another excursion, this) time toward the Irish Channel: When coming near the coast the Re-; search went off on another erratic tour, taking a contrary direction. It again de scended at a very short distance lrom the, sea, when Mr. Runge saw his las* chance ; wa^ccme, and that if he did not use the) opportunity of throwing himsell out, even) at the perii of his life, he would be carried j off without any-chance of escape. He iheu, with a presence of mind which is | most singular under the circumstances, threw himself out ot the car, when he came near the ground, and fell into a hedge.— | The balloon being again lightened, once ! more disappeared in the * clcuds. Mr.) : Kunge, we are sorry to say, has received 1 i very severe injuries, being bruised iu near- i ! ly every part of llie body. Ho was as sisted to Ballymena, and afterward pro ceeded to Belfast, and is now under the cure of Dr. Williams M’Oormac. Mr Halferty, so far as .we have learned, has escaped with slight injuries. 1 be other passengers by the car—Mr. A. P. Hen derson, Captain Hardy, Messrs. Candy, James Taylor, Jr., Felix Simms, R. A Wilson, John Boins, and R. Kingbam— all arived safely in Belfast. Cannibalism in New Zealand.— \ Intelligence more horrible than that which has just reached us has never been received, even from New Zealand.. A most atrocious murder has been de-. liberately committed upon one of the u missionaries, and this, 'moreover, in cold blood, with every sign of delibe- i ration, and with all the revolting cir-| cumstauees of cannibalism. It has) been committed, moreover, not by a • rebellious tribe of savage natives, who! has never been brought under civiliz ing influences, but by theveiy flock of the missionary himself, among’ whom he had resided for years, ami within sight of his own house. The , unfortunate gentleman was. nt the be-) ginning of last March, returning to) his charge, in company with another)* clergyman, Dir. Grace. On hisarri-j val, in a small schooner, the captain quickly discovered the disposition i !: the natives, and urged him not to trust j himself ashore. Hut the same blind j confidence which lured-so many Brit ish officers into the hands of tlse .Se poys prevented Mr. Volkner front be lieving that ht* could be in any danger : trom his disciples. Before, however, i he lqid time to leave the schooner of; his own accord the natives came an j board and seized Iroth the crew and the two missionaries. Even then it- is said Mr. Volkner refused to believe in the murderous intentions which his | -captors professed, and it was not until he was compelled to strip himself of his- upper garments, under a halter hung from a tree close to his own i house, that he was undeceived. The natives hung him in savage haste, tore open his body, distributed his entrails f to the Maori dogs, and his heart and other fragments to the still more bru tal cannibals around, drank his blood, and finally cat ofF his head, which they ■ have preserved, and exhibit in church es and other places of meeting as a t token of their triumph mid on emblem ot their superstition. Mr. Grace was. warned that he would suffer a similar fate afttfl’ he had served their purpose, which was to exhibit him with Euro peans remaining to other native tribes, and thus excite them against us. Hap pily, however, the captain of t)ie, schooner had been released, and lie contrived, with great ingenuity and courage, at a rare moment when Mr. Grace.was ungarded, 4.0 carry him off to her Majesty’s steamer Eclipse, which had been sent round from Auck land upon the news of this atrocity.; So far, moreover, is this outbreak of savagery and cannibalism from being local or exceptional, that nearly every j missionary and settler for the space of about two hundred miles along the east coast, including Bishop Williams and his family, have been compelled to ffy for their lives, and often to j abandon their possessions, which in many cases, as in that of Mr: Volkner, have been distributed among the sav ages.—London TtmeSf July 7.

In one of its latest numbers it has the engraving representing Columbia gazing scornfully upon a group of kneeling men with pe titious for pardon in their hands, who are intended for leading Southerners. On the next page Columbia figures as a very rakish looking and scantily-clad young woman, with one baie aun resting familiarly ,011 the shoulders of a stalwart one-legged black—a faithful portrait—ibo thickest sort of l ; ps, the flattest possible nose and wool of uncompromising kink.

One of the reesons for this assertion is the fact that all 1 be proclamations appointing the pro visional governors are precisely in the same words, founded on the Tennessee arrange ment, and maturely considered by the president, and approved by the cabinet, showing a carefuily-eousidcred plan, the amnesty proclamation being iu accord with that document. The president, it is known, from thc represeH tations of liis intimate friends, is .determined to-pursue substan tially the reconstruction programme thus laid down, having reasonable evidence from the South that ii will he successful. Many of tho accounts from that section arc. exaggerated, and misrepresent the true and favorable condition of public opinion. (Associated. Press dispatch loth.
