have been plausible at an earlier period, but c-

a subject immediately cnuuected with tho vital

efforts are making bv some to efface the land
marks of nullification and union, hv which the
course of the political parties in this State have
been lately directed, and to hoist for the guidance
of parlies in this county the flags of White and
Van Buren. I am prepared to believe, and recent
movements conclusively evince. The address
being made “to tile citizens of Iloustou county,”
whose decision can neither give direction to the
Presideuiial question or control the electoral vote
of tiie Suite, it is not unreasonable to suppose
that 'lie political relations of the,county arc in
tended to fie affected through tho Presidential
canvass. Why confine it to Houston, unless her
local concerns be exclusively tho subjects of con
sideration and the only objects intended to be
affected. The design is palpable* the purnose is
plaiu. If ill- writer hereof be correctly informed
the people constituting the majority in this coun
ty are tho persons sought to be affected by the
Presidential question ; and that many of the mi
nonty confide in Judge White’s causa to strength
en their own, is manifest hy their avidity in com
mencing and their zeal in continuing thecontest.

God’s having declared for tha benefit, warning,
or instruction of mao, that at. or not until the
end of a thousand or ten thousand of our years
certain events should be, by no means proves
that those events were not ns perfectly within his
cognition as auy set or occurrence of events are
to a man in a short, definite, and measurable
space or point of time, and frequently designated
man as noiv. ‘Events that to mankind have
in succession and in periods far apart, and
e.-eu iu different and remote generations, have j
I been us they now are with those to coine, as com-
| pletely within the sight and knowledge of Deity
as are the different parts of a small map to a
good human eye. And nought excludes this opi
nion of our Heavenly Father hut the “blindness,
iiig on a firm rock, with bulwarks around me.—
Beneath me I could view the Queen of tho West,
Newport and Covington, and towns, villges,
and green aud fertile fields. My views were
more extensive than some might imagine. 1
could see objects in every direction distinctly
twenty miles at least; consequently the area of
my scene was more than tw'elve hundred - square
miles. Around tills view, several dense clouds
floated, their upper surface was illuminated hy ihe
•ays of the sun. and they appeared like vast fields,
mouiitnius. projecting rocks aud caverns, all
clothed in pure white.
On leaving .Cincinnati, I passed in an East,
South East direction, and was on tho Kentucky-
side of the Ohio River for a short time, lint suou
crossed the river again, and moved about East by
South. At half after six o’clock. I lost sight of
the amphitheatre. Thirty-five minutes after 6,
heard the firing of a gun. Ten minutes afterse-
ven, could hear people shouting, and beard the
firing of a cannon three times iu succession, which
seemed at considerable distance.
At seven I took the first observation with the
instrument for ascertaining the rate of my trav
elling, aud found 1 was moviug at the rate ofoue
mile 4 minutes and 17 seconds—or about 14 miles
per hour. 3’he above mentioned instrument is
simple, aud to me valuable; it was constructed
by Dr. Loeko of Cincinnati, to whom 1 tun great
ly tudclited, nor only for tbe instrument, but for
his advice oil various subjects, and the interest
he has taken in my welfare. I now marked on
number of' way hills (which Dr. Darues had
politely prepared for ine) the height of the Ther
mometer aud Barometer, the course and rate I
was travelling, and threw these and uLo a num
ber which were not marked overboard. Ther
mometer 50di-g. Barometcr24 1-10 inches, courso
East by South, rate 14 miles per hour. At the
time 1 took my departure, the Thermometer was
83 deg. Barometer 29 13 19 inches. At half af
ter seven, passed a little to the left of a town
which, if 1 mistake not, was Batavia ; tho town
.■11 was ringing music playing and the people
hooting. The inhabitants noticed me passing
over. I wavrtt my flag aud threw out several way
bills to them: 1 was at au altitude of nearly a
mile. 1 continued to pass over a fine open coun
try. At half past seven oclock I lost sigiitofthe
Ohio river. At eight o’clock I took my second
observation. Thermometer 30 deg. Barometer
21 inches; course East hy South; rate one mile
and a half in nine minutes; saw Williamsburg
to the sc nth of me.
Se%-cral clouds were now floating above aud
below me, aud as they had iost their pure white
appearance, cast a duiaess over all beneath, and
robbed me of a scene of grandeur—the sittiugof
thesuii. .Moisture from the clouds began to ac
cumulate on the surface of my vessel, aud to run
down tho neck, so as to completely soak my pau-
talouns aud feet with water. At 9 o’clock took
3d observation; the thermometer35 deg.barom
eter 24 1-10 inches, course E. by S rate one I
mile to 6 minutes.
The moon was shining, but it was not clear. &.
I had but a very imperfect view of tbe earth. A
little before 10 o’clock water poured down upon
me; the blankets aud sheets, the ballast bags.
and every tiling on hoard, were wet-
Joseph Pennelton. and two or three others,
cut down several trees aud were enabled to se
cure her without ai.y injury.
The spot on which 1 landed is in Pebble Town
ship, Pike county, 9 miles from I’iketowu, 18
miles from Cbilicothe, K)0 miles from Cincinnati.
Tbe 1< tiers entrusted to my care were safely de
posited iu the Post Office at Waverlv, a few miles
from where I landed.
I take this opportunity of expressing my grate
ful feelings to the ladies and gentlemen <d Cin
cinnati aud its vicinity, for their liberal patronage
on the day of my ascension, and to assure the pub'
lie that had it not been for the unferseen escape of
which thro’
bo effected.
The contemplated railroad, for which Thomas Spal-
| ding Esq. has a charter, communicating with Flint A-. 1
J Ocmnlgcc rivers, will greatly benMit this section of
] country. It will perfect au inland communication
from the Atlantic cities to those of the Gulf of Mexico ;
a work much needed, both from its commercial advan
tages and that of government. This rail road has its
termination on Flint river, at the point before nlludc-d.
to tor a town site. I have entered into bonds with Mr.
Spalding, to that effect, that the tov. n will he laid out
duriiigthe present season, and the lots offered for sale
as announced in advertisement
From close observation, I discover, that those who '
are temperate iu their habits, cnioy as full a share of'
health, ;is in any other part of the country in the same
gas through the nppertnres before alluded to, 1 latitude. The society is gradually improving, and I
would have remained in the atmosphere at least
30 hours, and have accomplished my proposed
voyage to the sealor.rd.
