items brought by the bark Springbok:
A letter dated King Williams Town, Au-
gust 20,:-To day we heard of tough skir-
mish that took place between Fort Cox and
Fort White; Capt. Walls, of the As, kille d
with his own hand nine Kafirs
A letter from the frontier of August %,
says it is more than rumored that the exclus-
ion of the entire frontier Kaffirs from the Cis
Ksi territory is determined upon; and that a
large emigration, to the number of 10, 900 Eu-
ropeans, is to be at once directed into the old
Gaika and Slambie country.
Thus it will be seen that the terms of peace
by the English will be the expulsion of the
Kafirs to Central Africa, their lands being
confscated.
The English steamer, which was due at the
Cape the last of August from London, and
was to sail again on the first of September, had
not arrived on the Sd of September.
The Cape Town mail says that three OF
four whites in pursuit of stolen oxen, were
suddenly surrounded by forty armed Kaffirs
whom, after a short contest, they dispersed
with The loss of several killed.

troubles in the colonies, says, The great want

RalIoOning,

Our citizens last week witnessed two beau
tiful balloon asccnsions by the distinguished
American Feronant Mr. Wise of Pennsylvania
In conversation with this gentleman he re-
MAJ ked to US that he felt no apprehension of
danger in these ascensiuns, at least no more
than he does in walSiag about the street.
Twice lie assembled for the purpose of falling
to the earth. This may appear starting but
it is true. At Allen town Pa, and at Phila-
delphia some years ago Mr.. Wise went up in
balloon, so charged with gas, that at or near
a certain height it would burst. He was swift
ly landed upon terra f:rma, but both times safe
y. English papers under the head of "Mirac-
ious Escape" have recently commented on a
balloon ascension in England during which an
explosion took place at such an elevation, that
the utmost surprise is manifested that the sero-
neaut was not instantly dashed to pirces-in-
stead of which he escaped With "a few slight
bruises.
As an American writer remarks, the only
thing miraculous about the matter is that he
was injured at all Bursting balloons in this
country. has been reduced to science aud ac-
cording to Mr., Wise the best Informed .aeronea-
perhaps in the worll, is attended with no
more danger than with drinking ginger pt'r.
What snakes the escape appear miraculous Is
the very cause of its being unattended with
danger, and that is the great altitude at which
it takes place. While an explosion four hun
dred feet from the earth would probably be at
tended with one universal and eternal smash,
similar accident happening at an altitude of
two miles. would let you down as quietly ao an
India-rubber halter. For second ar two nf-
ter the Justification, you fall with fearful ra-
pidity--but the moment the collapsed balloon
begins to feel the resistance ofthe atmosphere
things begins to become as the trade winds,
and you slide down harnIessly to the earth.

The Result.

The smoke of the late election-never very
thick-has cleared away, and the result is en-
tirely satisfactory to the-"Democracy." So
far as the returns have been published by the
Columbus papers, it appears that Woods ma
jority for Governor will be about 10000. On
the remainder of the State ticket, the Loco
foco majority will be about the same. with the
exceptions of the candidates for Auditor,
Treasurer, and two of the Supreme Judges.
On these the Loco majority viii be from five
to ten thousand majority each
By the aid of the Locofoco Constitutional
Gerrymander, their majority in the Legisla-
ture is more overwhelming than it is on the
State ticket The Senate stands 26 Locofo-
cos, Wings. and one Free Soiler. The
House 81 Locofocos, 27 Wings, and Free
Sellers
Our opponents now have every thing their
own way, and we expect them to fulfil their
many promises to the people, Let them now
establish their hard money system, by the re-
peal Of our present banking laws, and making
it penal offence to pass paper money of any
kind. Let them repeal the present tax law,
which they claimed, before the election, oper-
ated SO unequally upon the people, Let them
reduce the expenditures of the State, and the
salaries of its officers, which we're said to
be SO enormously extravagant. In fact. let
them fulfil but one half of their many promi.
ses, and we venture to predict that within less
than five years, the people will gladly return
TO Wing rule and Wing measures.
''Truth, crushed to earth. will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers"
and it is gratifying and consoling fact to al
lovers of their country-to those who love
the right, and are willing to MAINTAIN it-tha
although error and misapprehension seem now
to be in the ascendant, Truth and correc
principles must eventually triumph. Will
this view of the matter, we see nothing fo
Wings to be disheartened at--nothing tina
should induce them to relinquish one effort
to secure the ultimate triumph of their meas
ures and principles.
