The PURCHASE OF New MEXICO. The Hon
Truman Smith, in his speech in the National Senatt
on the 9Th inst, produced full and official statistics to
show that the territories of New Mexico and Cali
lorna cost the Union 1924 ,O3S 1886 in the ex-
penses of the war and the indemnify paid for the
territory acquired. Besides which we have the fol-
lowing statistics Of the loss of human life in the war;
The number of deaths returned by the officers Of
the army is l2,S7S; 9749 were discharged for disa-
blllty, of whom at least half have died, say 1874;
1890 men were mustered into service during the
war, and SO, 573 were mustered OUT of the residue.
amounting to 22,6S7, 2O,072 were returned as dead
discharged or deserted, and the difference, 26I5,
are supposed to be dead7 Of those mustered out Of
service it is estimated that 10 per cent, or 5II4,
have since died; thus making in the aggregate, a
loss OF 25,48i lives through this war. Mr.. Smith
asks whether, with this expenditure of life and
treasure, the United States have not purchased New
Mexico, and whether we should be obliged to pur-
chase it second time.-.Albany Atlas.

ANOTHER ERoNANTIc EXPLOIT. AT the
meeting of the Academy Of Sciences, in Paris, on
Monday, July l, NJ. Arago gave an account of an
unsuccessful balloon ascension, which became al
most disastrous, attempted two three DAYS before
by NM. Bixo and Barral, two scientific men of Paris
The object of the Adventures was to ascend TO a
height OF seven miles, to ascertain the decrease Of
temperature and the density Of the air to make
hygromerlcal and barometrcal observations in short
to complete the information which the ascensons Of
Gay Lassac, many years ago, left imperfect. The
ascension took place at 10 A. NJ
The balloon was made with great care and accord
ing to custom, was only two-thirds filed with gas
but the net work OF strong cord which envelopes the
balloon had been hastily prepared, was received al
the last moment, and proved 10 be too small The
cords were cut, and in one minute and half. So
rapid was the ascent the travellers were lost in the
clouds. Arriving at height Ofabout three thousand
yards, the daton of the gas rapidly progressing
All worked well until the net ceased to be annie
enough to contain the balloon. Then their troubles
and danger commenced. The balloon b. came more
and more elongated below till the travellers and their
car were completely enveloped in its folds and were
IN lmmlnet danger of suffocation. In fact, the cal
had not been suspended sufficiently low
AT this critical moment, NJ. Barral cut in the bot
tom large hole with his knife Then they were al.
most stifed to death by the escaping gas Their
elevation was about three and half miles
The hole cut by NJ Barra checked the ascent, and
determined downward movement An accident
ripped large hole in the top of the balloon, and
then down, down they fell with fearful rapidity
The clouds soon appeared about them--above them
The descent was checked an instant by throwing Out
all the weights; but the rapid escape of gas soon
rendered this of no avail and the @ronauts saw that
speedy and violent collision with the earth was in
evltabe.-It occurred in vineyard near Meux
twenty-one or twenty-five miles northeast of Paris
NJ BixlO, who is member of the Assembly escaped
unhurt. His companion got off with some scratche.
and BRUISES which are not very serious, but suffic
emily so to have confined him since the accident tc
his bed.
Unterrifed by the dangers they have passed, The
bold adventures promise another ascension ere long
It is to be hoped that the next time they will place
their balloon under the control of some more exper
fenced aerial navigator.

We are afraid Wing friends will never get
over the shock given to their delicate nerves, by the
vote of Messrs. Allen, Mann, Rockwell and Fowler
against the ten million dollars to Texas. Indeed
they to take it SO much to heart that it would
not surprise us if they should make it the chief
ground of an opposition to their reelection The
-ddgertiser of Saturday, says:
SIT has been with the most sincere regret that we
have observed the persevering opposition of major
lty of the members Of Congress from the New Eng
land States, to these laws, long after it became ap-
parent that they presented the only practicable mode
of pac6caton which could be adopted at the present
session. In this predicament were half the present
delegation from this State We believe that thew
will find that in adopting this course, they have not
acted in accordance with the feelings and wishes of
the great body of their constituents
1t is said that the most dexterous rogues are in
the habit, when the hue and cry is raised, and the
police are after them, of joining with great enthusi-
asm in the shouts of "stop theft, ssop thief' and
Is easy to discern the same idea Of deception at
work here. The Advertiser, and kindred prints,
hope by the dust they raise around the honest men
Of the party, to hide from the eyes of the people the
contrast of their conduct with the baseness of Ash
nun, Elliot, Duncan and Grinne But the people
are not SO easily deceived, and the November cleo
tons will tell what they think of the representatives
who betray the cause of Freedom that Texan bonds
may rise. r. 81 .

Light, more Light.
BY c. oHAUNCEY BURR.
Old earth had once its swaddling clothes,
In dumb phenomenal of time;
Its strength like growing childhood rose,
Amid dusk chaos, and the chime
OF morning stars-wfsese music rung,
Where cleaning darkness wildly sung,
Light, more light!
And then its brawny manhood came,-
Its heart the mighty summons felt,
Rebounding with its blood of fame,-
And girded with an ocean belt;
Around its mountain ribs of rock
Was heard the awful thunder shock,
Light, more light!
And man was here, transating all
The mystic psalmody of Fate,
Gods heroglyphics on the wall,
Embazoned DER creations gate,-
Fire ciphers, which the brooding night
Made voiceful in a cry for light,
Light, more light!
Up went the shout through every age
A Gods voice in the soul of man
Resembling DER a sea Of rage,
Before the mighty battle-van
OF heroes, martyrs, and GoD's GREAT,
Who scorn the life of lust and hate,
Light, more light!
