Three Hundred Miles in lour Hours—Landing
in the Wilderness —'J he Jinlloon Abandon
ed—Four Days without Food—Lost in the
llW*. Eating Han) Frogs and Berries — Froei
dential Deliverance.
The public has already been informed, by de
spatches published in .ill the papers, of the safe
ar rival at. Ottaway, C. VV., on the 8d instant, of
Professor La Mountain and Mr. Haddock, who as
cended in the balloon Atlantic from Watertown,
N. Y., on the 2id of September, and for w hose
safety much fear was felt. The Watertown Jout*
nal, (October sth,) contains a long and full account
of tlie Utsasuouo -vs tlie Atlantic, and the
wanderings and sufferings in the wilderness of the
balloonists, La Mountain and Haddock. Ihe ac
count written by Mr. Haddock is very interesting,
but want of room compels us to confine ourselves
to copious extracts. Tlie balloonists were up in
the air from four to live hours, when, finding
themselves over a dense wilderness and the dark
ness of night around them, they concluded to de
scend. The account says :
We descended into a valley near a very high
mountain, but as the place appeared rather forbid
ding, we concluded to go up again. Over with 30
pounds of ballast, and skyward we sailed. In
about ”0 minutes we again descended, but this
time no friendly light or “deep-mouthed watch
dogs’ heavy bay” gieetc-d us. We were over a
dense wilderness aud settled down over a small
lake. We bad our life-preservers ready for use,
but got up again by throwing over all our ballast
except about 18 pounds. Mr. La Mountain now
said it was folly aad madness to stay up any lon
ger, that we were over a great wilderness, and the
sooner we descended the better. VV e concluded
to settle down by the side of a tree, tie up, and
w ait until morning. In a moment we were near
the earth, uHd as we fell I grasped the extreme
top of a tall spruce, which stopped her descent,
and we weie soon fastened to it by the large dug
rope. The touch of that spruce sent a thrill ol
discomfort to my heart,’ for I knew that its kind
did not grow in any well settled, nor any warm
country.
Mr. La Mountain said, after he looked around
and made as much ot uu examination ot the scene
ry as we could do for the daikness aud ruin (for it
had rained the past hour,) that the “ Atlantic was
played out—we were far into the w oods, and if w e
got out alive we ought to be thankful.”
We rolled ourselves up iu our blankets, and pa
tiently waited until morning, ’ihe rain dripped
down upon us in rivulets from the great balloon,
and it was not long before we were wet as men
could be. After a night passed in great discom
fort we were glad to see the first faint ray of day
light. Cold, and wet, and rainy, the morning
broke, the typical precursor, we were to learn, of
many other mornings to be spent in those unin
habited wilds. We waited until 0 o’clock in hopes
the rain would cease, and that the lays of the sun,
by warming the gas in the balloon, would give ns
ascending power sufficient to get up again, lor tlie
purpose, if no other, of obtaining a view of the
country into which we had descended. The r.tin
did not cense, and we concluded to throw over all
we had in the balloon except a coat apiece, the
lile-preseiveis, the anchor, and the compass.—
Ov. i t card, then, they went —good shaw.s and
blankets, Mr. Fayle’s overcoat, bottles of aie, and
a flask of cordial, ropes and traps of all kinds. —
i he Atlantic relieved ot her wet load, rose majes
tically with us, and v e were able to b hold the
country below, li was an unb.i okeii wilderness of
lakes and spruce — and we felt then that we had
gone too far, through a miscalculation ol the u
iooitr ol the .balloon.
tht* current vv.'S driving us still to the North,
we time not st;.\ up, as we were (hilling farther
anti still farther to .lie “frozen tide lrotn whicli
we hue there could he no escape. Mr. La M.
seized tlie vali e cord and discharged gas, and we
descended in safety Ly the side ot a large spruce.
We made the Atlantic last by her anchor, and for
a moment talked over W ‘ at ite should do. We
had not a mouthful to eat ; no protection at night
from the and tmp ground ; were distant we knew not’
how Inr front a habitation ; were hungry to start
with; no eat thly hope ot raising a tire, and no
distinct idea as to where we were.
We settled in our ow n minds that we were in
John Brown’s tract or in the great Canada wilder
ness—to the South, we thought, of the Ottawa —
and knew that a course South by East would take
us out if we had strength enough to travel the dis
tance. La M. stepped up to the balloon and gave
•the edge of tlie basket a parting shake, saying,
“ Good bye, old Atlantic,” and I fancied I could
see a tear in his honest eye when he said it.
TRAMPING IN TITK WOODS.
To the southeast, then, we started. After trav
elling about a mile tint! a half we came to the bank
of a small creek, flow ing down front the westward.
At this point, we were agreeably surprised to find
that some human being had been there before us,
for we found several small trees cut down, the
coals from an old fire, and a half barrel which had
contained pork. 1 eagerly examined the stamp.
It read, “ Mess Pork, P. M., Montreal.” This set
tled the question that we were in Canada—for I
very well knew that no Montreal inspection ot
pork ever found its way into the interior of New*
York State. We travelled all day Friday up the
unknown creek, which kept its general course to
the south of west, crossing it übout noon on a
floating log, and striking on its southern bank a
“ blazed” track, which h and us up to a deserted tim
ber road, lying on the opposite side from a large
lumbering shanty. Wc hoped one of the lumber
roads might take us out so a settlement, but after
travelling up them all until they terminated in the
wilderness, we concluded to cross the creek to the
shanty, and stay in it all night. La Mountain got
across safely : but mv weight was greater than
his, and the raft left me into the stream. I sank
in all over, and swam out, though it required all
my strength to do so, and on reaching the bank 1
found myself so chilled as scarcely to be able to
stand. I took off my ilothes, wrung them, and
we proceeded to the shanty, where we found plen
ty ot refuse straw, but it was dry, and under a pile
of it we crawled, pulling it over our heads and fa
ces in tire hope that our b’Cath might aid in w arm
ing our chilled bodies. I think the most revenge
ful, stony heart would have pitied our condition
then.
The weary hours of night at last wore away, and
wo held anew council. It wasevident, we reason
ed, that the creek we were upon was used for driv
ing logs in the spring season. If, then, we follow
ed it to its confluence with the Ottawa, or some
stream which empties into the Ottawa, we could in
time get out. the same way the timber went out.—
The roof of the shanty was covered with the
halves of logs, scooped out in a manner familiar
to all woodsmeu. These were light aud dry, and
, would form an excellent ralt. Why not, then,
i take lour ot these, tie iliem to cross pieces bv
wythes aud such old things as we could hud around
tlie shanty, and pole the structure down to that
civilization which a saw log ought to be able to
reach. Such was the course we adopted. VYe
dragged the logs down to tlie creek, and La Moun
tain tisd them together, as he was evidently more
of a sailor than myself. We got under wav, and
as we pushed oil’ a crow set up a dismal cawing—
an inauspicious sign, and ominous of the great
trials and sufferings in store lor us. We pulled
doyrn stream about ten miles, and came abruptly
upon an immense pine tree which had fallen across
the stream, completely* blocking the passage of the
raft. No other alternative was left but to untie
the pieces, and attempt to push them through un
der the log. This we at last did ; tied the raft
together again and polled down stream. To-day
we ate each a raw frog, all we could find, and be
gan to feel that we ere hungry. But there was
no complaining—our talk was of the hopeful fu
ture and the civilization we hoped yet to reach.—
Down the creek we went into a lake some two
miles long, and into which we, of course, supposed
tlie stream passed, having its outlet at the oilir
end. VYe followed down tlie northern bank, keep
ing always in shallow spots, so that our poles could
touch the bottom, until we arrived at the bottom
of the lake, where we found no outlet, aud turned
hack upon the southern bank in quest of it. On
reaching the head of the lake we found that the
current of ihe creek turned abruptly to the right,
which was the reason of our losing it.
We felt happy to have found it again, and plied
our polos like heroes. VVe passed, during the day
the spot where we had first struck the creek, and
where we had made a slight land mark which
might afterwards aid us in finding the Atlantic
should we ever wish to do so in order to get iter
out. At night we did not stop, but kept the raft
going down through the shades of awlul forests,
whose solemn stillness seemed to hold tlie unre
vealed mystery of our darkening future. About
ten o’clock it began to rain again. VVe stopped
the “ vessel” and crawled in under some “ tag” al
ders on the bank, where our extreme weariness
enabled us to get, perhaps, half an hour’s sleep.—
ilising again, (for it was easier to pole at night in
the rain down an unknown stream, than to lie on
the ground and freeze) we pressed on lor a couple
of hours, for until about tliree o’clock, when pure
exhaustion induced us to stop again. This time
we found a spot where the clayey bank lacked a
a little of coming down to the water.
On the mud we threw our little him*”- ** -*
;,n<i a * -m.... ..i. rcct urffwn up under us, so
that our bent bodies presented as little surface as
possible for the rain to beat upon. But we could
not stand such an uncomfortable position long, and
as the daylight of the Sabbath bi oke upon us, we
yvere polling down the stream with a drizzling rain.
At 8 o'clock we came to a place where the stream
canoned—rushing over a stony bed, down a steep
descent between high rocks on either bank. To
get our raft down this place we regarded as Hope
less. VVe tied up and examined the shore. Here,
again, we found unmistakable evidence of lumber
men, as they had evidently camped at this point,
to be handy by in the attempts they were doubt
less obliged to make to get the timber down the
canon. The rapids were about a third of a mile
long, and in all the rapids of Blank river there is
nothing so wild and romantic as these. VVe de
scended tlie bank and thought it best to try our
luck on foot. After travelling about a mile we
found the bank so tangled and rugged, and our
selves so much exhausted, that locomotion was im
possible ; so we concluded to go back, and if we
could get the raft doyvn a piece at a time we would
go on with her, if not we would build as good a
place as possible to crawl into, and prepare for
death.
We went back, and after examining the stream
attentively, concluded to try and get tlie raft down.
We at once commenced, and I freely confess this
the most trying and laborious work of a life of la
bor. The pieces would not float more than a rod
at a time before they would stick on some stone
which the low water left above the surface, and
then you must pry it over in £ome way and pass it
along to the next obstruction. We were obliged
to get into the stream, often up to the middle, and
there 1 several times fell headlong, completely us
ing up our compass, which now frantically pointed
in any direction its addled bead thought desirable.
The water had unglued ihe case, and it was ruined.
After long hours of such labor, we got the raft
down, and La if. again tied it together. Passing
on, in about an hour we came to a large lake —ten
miles long and six miles broad. Around it we
must of course pass until we should find the out
let. So we turned up to the right, and pressed on
with as much resolution as could be expected. To
day we found oue clam, which I insisted La Moun
tain should cat, as he was weaker than myself, and
had eat little or nothing on the day we went up.—
Around we went into all the indentations of the
shore, keeping always in shallow water.
At last we stopped at a place we thought least
exposed to the wind. We laid down upon the
cold ground, having lifted up the end of our raft
so that the wind might not drift it away in the
night. We were cold when we laid down, and
both of us trembled by the hour, like men suffer
ing from a severe attack of the ague. The wind
had risen just at night, and the dismal surging ot
the waves upon the shore formed, I thought, a tit
ling lullaby to slumber so disturbed and dismal as
ours. By this time our clothes were nearly torn
off. My pantaloons were flit up both legs, and the
waistbands nearly torn oil'. My boots boili leaked,
and our mighty wrestlings in the cannon had torn
the skin from ankles and bands. La Mountain's
hat was gone the first day out; he had thrown
away his woollen drawers and stockings the first
day of our tramping, as they dragged him down
by the weight ol water they absorbed. We slept
but little. It really seemed as though, during that
night, we passed through tire horrors of a dozen
deaths. At daylight we got up bv degrees, first
on one knee and then on the other, so stiff and
weak that we could hardly stand.
Again upon the almost endless lake we went—
following round its shore for an outlet. About 10
o’clock we found a broad northern stream which
we thought was the outlet we were seeking, and
we entered it with great joy, believing it would
take us to our long sought Ottawa. Shortly after
entering the stieam it widened out and assumed
the form of a lake. We poled up the westerly
shore for about seven miles; but found we were
again deceived. On our way up Mr. LaMountain
sang these pretty lines—
“ Cheer up your hearts, my men,
Let nothing fright you ;
Be of a gallant mind—
Let that delight you.”
His voice was hardly above a whisper, but the
song was a source of comfort to nie. His, indeed,
was a “ gallant mind,” which the extraordinary
hardships and dangers of our position had not
daunted. But when we found that all the weary
imlcs of our morning travel had been in vain aud
had to be retraced, my resolution certainly failed
me lor a moment, and I sat down on my end ot
the raft and felt like shedding one tear of genuine
regret. Yet we felt that our duty as Christian
men was to press on as long as we could stand,
and leave the issue with God.
It had now been four full days since we ate a
meal. All we had ate in the meantime was a frog
apiece, four clams, and a few wild berries, whose
acid properties and bitter taste had probably done
us more harm than good. Our strength was be
ginning to fail very fast, and our systems were evi
dently about to undereo an extraordinary change.
I did” not permit myself to think of food—the
thought of a well covered table would have been
too much. I thought over all of poor Strain’s
sufferings on the Isthmus of Darien, where he,
too, was paddling a raft down an unknown stream,
but never believed we could stand half the amount
of suffering he did. Besides, he had means to
make a fire—we had none.
He was upon a stream which he knew would lead
to the sea and safety—we were upon waters whose
flow we knew really nothing of, and were as much
lost as though in the mountains of the moon.—
But we “ could not give it up so,” and took fresh
courage as troubles appeared to thicken.
Well, we turned the raft around, and poled her
back towards the place where we had entered this
last lake. We had gone about a mile when we
heard the sound of a gun, quickly follow ed by a
second report. No sound was ever so sv.eet to me
as that. We hallooed as loud as we could a pood
many times, but could get no response. We kept
our poles going, and had gone about half a mile,
when 1 called La Mountain’s attention to what I
thought was a smoke curling up among the trees
on the side of a hill. My own eyesight had be
gun to tail me to an extent that I could not depend
upon it when a long, steady gaze was necessary,
tie said it was smoke, and that he thought just
VOLUMK XXXVII.—NO. 30.
• below it, on the bank, was a bark canoe. In *
I few momenta the blue smoke rolled gently but un
j mi.stakably above the tree tops, ana we felt that
jwe were saved. Such a revulsion of feeling was
almost too much for us. We could hardly believe
our senses, and credited anything favorable to our
condition with the utmost caution. Our bitter dis
appointments had taught us that lesson.
We paddled the raft with the ends of our poles
directly across the lake, near perhaps three-fouriha
ol a mile wide, and made for the canoe. It proved
tci be a large oue—evidently an Indian’s. Up to
the bank I pressed, leaving La Mountain at the ca
noe lo cut off a retreat by the Indian in case he
was timid and wished to avoid us. I came at once
upon the shanlies of a lumbering wood, and from
the chimney of the farthest building a broad vol
ume of smoke was rising. I hailooed—a noise
was heard inside, and a noble looking Indian came
to the door. “ Vonley partey Francaiu F’ was my
eajrer enquiry, as I grasped his outstretched hand.
“ Yes . r—aud English too.” He drew me into
the cabin, and there was the head of the party, a
noble-hearted Scotchman, named Angus Cameron.
‘I immediately told my story—that we came in with
;a balloon, were lost, and had been four days with
out food—asking where we were. Imagine mv
! surprise when he said we were one hundred anil
j fifty miles due north of Ottawa—ir. the dense, un
inhabited forest, whose only limit was the Arctic
circle. In a word, we were nearly 390 miles in a
due North course from Watertown, in latitude 47.
Dinner was all ready. The party consisted of
four persons—Mr. Cameron and his assistant, who
was also named Cameron, LaMab MaeDougall, a
half breed, and his son Beauceil. I despatched
the young Indian after LaMountain, who came in
after a moment the absolute picture of wretched
ness. Ail that the cabin contained was tendered
us, and we began to eat. Language is inadequate
to express our sensation while doing so. The
clouds had all lifted from our sombre future, and
the “silver lining” shone all the brighter for the
deep darkness through which we had passed.
A Sturtlln; SurpiiKe.
A curious circumstance has conic to our knowl
edge, says one of our Western exchanges recent
ly, which, though cresting much talk among cer
tain parties, has been hushed up as much as possi
ble, and as it does not seem likelv to proceed far
mer, we suppress names. A gentleman and his
wife sometime since settled in Rockford; shortly
after their arrival they made,*>*.U ,c,
aequ ‘“>'uT3eautilul widow, who
nan the reputation of being a great dirt. The gen
tleman, up to tiiis time, had been a most devoted
husband, and though there seemed to be a mutual
attraction between himself and the gay widow
whenever they met, the wife, confident of his affec
tion, suspected nothing. Matters progressed, how
rapidly she did not know, until the beginning of
tins wees, when husband, wife and widow were in
vited to tea at the house of a friend. It was an
agreeable social party, and the company were ap
parently enjoying themselves highly, w hen the wife,
who had been chatting w ith friends on the piazza,
! entered the parlor and seated herself in the shadowr
of a window, the heavy damask curtains of which
separated lie from a tete-a-tete which *tood !u a re
j cess. The parties occupying tire tete-a-tete were
| her husband and the lascinating widow'; and what
was her astonishment when their low tones became
fully audible to her strained ears to find that they
were arranging the preliminaries of an elopement,
to take place that very night! Matters were to be
arranged so tbat the wife would be sent home ear
ly in the evening, while the husband, in the most
natural manner in (he world, would offer to drive
home the beautiful widow. Instead of home,
however, they were to go immediately to the cars’
and leave on the eleven o’clock train.
The discovery was so unexpected and the shock
so great that the poor wife almost fainted. She
was determined, however, not to betray her knowl
edge of the guilty scheme until th, proper time
came, and, recovering herself, glided from the fatal
scat, and tried to enter into conversation as usual.
Os course she was not greatly Surprised when her
husband shortly afterward affectionatelv advised
her to go home with Mr. and Mrs. , who were
“oir:g their way, as he himself had to go to his of
fice shortly, and might be detained till late. She
made no objection, but putting on her bonnet and
bidding adieu to her entertainers, started for home,
to the great relief of the guilty couple, who had
feared some trouble in getting rid of her. Imme
diately on arriving at home, the wife proceeded to
pack a carpet bag with a pile of shirts, and other
necessaries, and started on foot for the house
where her husband still remained. She hid herself
m the shadow ol the trees and waited, but not
long. Soon her husband and the widow exchang
ed good night w ith their hostess, the latter remark
ing in a lively tone, that she should “certainly tell
iiis wife.’ They seated themselves comfortably in
the vehicle, when the wife, without bonnet or
shawls suddenly walked to the side of the carriage
uni said, quietly, at the same lime holding up the
carpet bag.
“I)., don’t go without your shirts, the mercy
knows when you will get anv more!”
Ihe blank astonishment of the two may be im
igined. The simple words, however, produced
the most complete re-action in the feelings of the
faithless husband, lie looked into the pale face
ot his wife, and met her clear gaze, and saw that she
knew ail. lie said: “M., we must take Mrs.
.lome, and then I will tell you how it happened.”
iiiey did take .Mrs. home, and left her there.
The husband and wife seem affectionate and devo
ed as ever ; but the widow is di.'.-utirfitd with so
ciety at the West, and thinks of going East this fail.

The Mobile A '.egister, edited by Ex-Minister For
syth, formerly o: this city, says the Columbus En
<j'tirer, rejoices over the Democratic success in
Georgia as a substantial or ultimate triumph of S.
A. Douglas. It now considers Georgia as certain
for Douglas in the Charleston Convention, and his
nomination as a ‘matter of very little question.
The Register is the most free-spoken and candid
of the Douglas papers in the cotton States, and
works zealously in behalf of its favorite. We
agree with it as to the strong probability of Doug
las’ nomination by the help of many Southern
votes. The Register says :
“ From all the means of information at our
command we can now confidently assert that Ar
kansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Georgia
and Virginia certainly, North and South Carolina,
Louisiana and Alabama most probably, will hearti
ly endoise Mr. Douglas’ nomination at the Charles
ton Convention.
“ In the recent gubernatorial canvass in Geor
gia the opposition spared no exertion to force
this question on the Democracy as an issue. The
attempt was steadily and successfully resisted.
Mr. Brown declined to commit himself against
Douglas ; the heavy majority which our telegraphic
column announces to-day pioclainis what was the
popular response to this course. The Georgia De
mocracy are therefore left lree to follow the guid
ance ol their uubiaraed judgment and their hearts.
\\ hat the verdict will be, who can doubt? ’

Foor men of all men should never undertake to
drown their sorrows in strong drink. It doesn’t
pay. Misfortunes may drive a man to the cup, but
it takes a fortune to keep him there.
A sober young man in humble condition recent
ly married a lady of fortune ; a mouth afterwards
lie fell drunk from his horse and broke his neck.—
The effect is attributed to his sudden fortune and
the insufferable arrogance of his wife.
Boor fellow ! his wife’s money turned his head
one wav, and her temper turned it another ; be
tween the two bis neck was broken.
Moral: Let all poor fellows be careful how they
take or mistake a “ big bug” for a bed “ bug.”
An Indiana paper notices the birth of a baby
weighing fifteen pounds. Whenever the mother
holds that baby in her lap, a heavy responsibility
rests upon her.
The Pennsylvanian said lately that “ the Demo
cratic party con>ists of iron men.” Then the devil
will have a good many “ irons in the fire.”
Go to Washington and see how white men make
laws, and you will he as much disgusted as if you
were to go to the West Indies and see how the ne
groes make molasses.
