AZ The Balloon Ascension, advertised to take
place in Stanton on Saturday last, again proved
failure. The cause, this time, was not the wea-
Their, for the day very favorable but the want of
gas to carry up the Balloon, suffcency of material
not having been provided, il would seem, to gene
rate it. Mr.. Wise was not here, but his young
associate, Mr.. Creaver made every effort possible
to get up, even by leaving the basket and getting
into the ropes, and divestng himself of hat shoes,
and coat-but it was " no CO." Who is most to
blame, therefore, or to what extent the fault of the
miscarriage attaches 10 any one, we are not in
formed, for no explanation Of the circumstances,
or apology to the public, has yet been offered to
MS for publication. We must say, however, with
due Difference to all concerned, that we think our
fellOw-c,izens have good reason to be heartily
tired of balloonng.
/ The concourse of people collected ON Saturday
appeared to be greater than that on the for
mer occasion-yet the day passed of in the ut
most order ard quiet, notwithstanding the morti-
flying circumstances of the disappointment. This
speaks well for our population, and we have just
reason to be proud of it.
The place selected for the ascension was Mr..
Stuarts meadow, and the spectators were sta
toned chiefly on the sopng hillside on the west
of it, and the scene they presented for hours, was
certainly of the richest and most picturevque.
we have ever witnessed. The gay and many CO.
ored dresses of the ladies', mixed up in the throne
in family and neighborhood parties, gave to it. in
the bright sunlight, briiancy and effect which
may be better imagined than described.
by the way, we suppose our Rockingham neigh
bors will be utterly amazed when they hear of
this second Balloon failure in Staunton since it is
so much against their " philosophy" and the first
astonished them so much. They had a thought
OF attempting something of the kind themselves ;
but as ace have iailed-a people whom they con-
slider such perfect adopts in the art of "in1ation"
they may reasonably conclude it is not worth
their while to try, and give it up! We shall see
however, how that will be.
