We understand that we have morally offended
the arrival of their grea, ship. We certainly
intended offence, nor upon re-perusal OF our
remarks yet perceive any thing uncour'
teous or unkind. The folks of the Free Trader
however, thunder out against US, and we suppose
if we should be tempted to visit the great comment
cal emporium on the hill top, we should run som e
risk of being hauled up before judge Lynch. But
in hitting us the Free Trader preserves as usual
politeness towards the mass of our villagers of
New Orleans. Just hear him:
"After she (the Natchez) shall have ma de her
best bow to Rodney, Grand Gulf, and Vicksbnrg,
and after she shall have received the visits, and
blessings, and prayers of every man, woman, and
child, and slave OF Natchez and Adams county,
she will then sweep down the river, prepared and
authorized to act on the great Washingtunian and
Jefersonian maxim -s'Friends in peace, enemies
| in war;" Capt. Story will no doubt salute New
Orleans, and more particularly the editor OF the
True American, as becomes gentleman and a
Mssssppinn."
Now if Messrs. Besancon &, Halliday, the
organs of the Mississippans, how very kind our
Orleans sight of their great ship, after their slaves
have visited it. Wonder Messrs of the Free Ira
der, whether the Mississippans, intend to send by
the Natchez, few hundred thousand dollars to
| our Merchants, on account of the deb, they owe
them. Don't send any Brandon money however

Balloon Erplosion-Safe Descent We learn
from an extra Of the Eason Argus, that on Satur-
day, the 18th instant, Mr. Wise the Aeronaut,
assembled from Easton, iPs., with parachute bal
loon, accompanied with two small parachutes and
animals. MI Wise says. in his account, that at
the height of 1000 feet, conical parachute, with
its occupant, detached aud landed in safety.
After ascending few thousand feet more, he de-
tached his oiled silk parachute, which experiment
was 10 decide the certainty and safety of Ae para
chute balloon. 1t did not descend with the uniform
velocity of the first, but MIR Wise concluded that
the experiment could not be hazardous. When
the altitude of 5000 feet had been attained, the
balloon became fearfulIy expanded, causing loud
Kissing noise from the small tube at the bottom
through which the valve rope passed, giving warn
ing that unless the safety valve was opened, the
balloon must rupture. The balloon at this tim e
was sailing swiftly from the w to S E, while a
thunder gust was moving below it from S w 10
E. Mr. w. look ed at his watch, and found it to
be 90 minutes past 9, and as he was returning it
to his pocket, the balloon exploded In the space
OF ten aeconds, the gas rushed from the balloon
with noise resembling the approach of hurri.
cane, and, as the Rronaut Tell, the air whistled
| through the net work F" like strong Northwestern
through the rigging of shIp.' The balloon,
according to expectation, assumed the form of a
concave hemisphere, falling rapidly without any
vlbra,ory motion, until it reached the lower strata
of the air, which blowing sharp gale from
he south, when the parachute com enced its first
vibrations, drifting northward, making vibration
about every ten seconds, which now made the
descent very unpleasant. The wind from the
south drfted Mr. w. about three miles before he
approached the earth, and made his landing much
harder than it would have been in calm atmos-
phere. AS he neared the EARTH he threw over
all his ballast, which put him off his guard, and
as his car struck the earth obliquely, it bounced
up about ten feet, slightly brus sing lis shoulder
Contrary TO expectation, the balloon did not col
losre, bu. fell along side of him. He landed on
farm abost ten miles from Easton. Mr. Wise says
that he is so gratted at the result of this expert
munt, that he intends sorn to repeat it, and max
