EXPLOSION OF CAPT. TAsaART's BALLOON The
Flying Machine of Capt. John Taggart, which went
up from Jersey City on Wednesday last without
the Captain, has been heard FROM and we regret to
cay, destroyed. The particulars are thus related
in The Suffolk Democrat Huntington, Suffolk Co,
N. W of Friday :-On Wedne sday evening last,
ct about half past six o'clock, large balloon with
a beautiful car attached, descended near the house
of Jonathan GdeTsleeve, at Clay Pitts, in this
town. The car became entangled ia the fence of
lane leading TO the dwelling and barn, while the
balloon gently swayed with the wind above il.
When it was first discovered by a son of Mr. Gill
dersleeve, IL occ asioned good deal Of surprise,
end he called TO his aid brother and his wife, and
his mother to assist in securing il. large open
ing was made in the balloon TO permit the air to
escape; but unfortunately at this moment of
the ladies approached the balloon with a lighted
candle, when the infiammable gas took fire, and a
violent explosion imme diately followed, knocking
down the whole party and burning the two young
men severely on the face and hands. The ladies'
escaped with very slight injuries. The balloon
was torn 10 pieces, and eDkindled into a blaze AT
the same time, and the beautiful car with its ma
chinery greatly damaged. The varaished mate
rial of the balloon burnt wildly TO set the
fence on fire, which, from its proximity to the
barn and dwelling, would have undoubtedly COM
inundated the flames TO these also, but for the
unusual excrtions Of the injured persons, who,
though in great egony, subdued the fire, by tearing
down the fence, and throwing water upon the
burning fragments Of the balloon. The light Of
the explosion was noticed at the distance OF sew
eral miles, and the conclusion great that il
was sensibly experienced by the inmates Of a
dwelling half a mile distant.

IMPORTANT FROM HAYTI.-According to recent
intelligence from Hayti, it would appear that the
late armistice between Soulouque, the black En-
peror, and the eastern half of the island, known as
the Dominican republic, having expired, actual
hostlties had been renewed. In an engagement
in the mountain defle of Bonica, the black troops
of the black Emperor are reported to have been
cut TO pieces with a terrible slaughter. We are
also informed that Hayden brig had been captured
of Scott's Harbor by couple of gun boats of the
Dominicaps. From all accounts, the Dominicans
will be competent to defend their territory. 1t is
understood they are on good terms with the French
and English agents, that they are well armed,
equipped, and disciplined, and it is not improbable
they may carry the war into Africa" before it is
over. Of course, pending these hostilities the
trade of the island will be- Of necessity. suspended
In connection with the affairs of Hayti, we pub
lish the letter, to-day, of Mr.. Benjamin E. Green,
late United States Agent in that island, which will
throw some light on the diplomacy in that corner
of the Gulf.

which it says:

Guilty and utter lallhlessness of the

from him and his government the
hearts Of the people; supplanting the
ancient German loyalty and affection
with spirit Of mingled evaporation
and disgust. A recent measure, adop-

William since the commencement OF
the year, has given deep alarm and
displeasure to all but the partisans OF
