Another Exciting Balloon Ascension.

Mr. King attempted to make at ascen.
sion in balloon, on Thursday evening
from Pbiladelphia. At first it was dashed
violently against some adjacent sheds, and
be bad to be hauled down: but a portion
OF the crowd insisted ON his ascending, and
be started up second time. but came in
contact with the Wire Bridge. The Phil
apelphia Sun says:
lie soon became extricated, but unfor-
tuna,ely struck the telegraph wire which
held him some time; the balloon all the
time swaying to and fro in the ebbing gusts
Of wind. Presently be became loose. struck
against another part Of the bridge; and
finally went down plump into the waters
Of the Schuylkil An exciting, amusing,
and withal, a terrible scene was enacted.
The balloon bounced up and down, and In
this way proceeded for several hundred
wards. Every time it descended Mr. King
would be plunged in the water, apparently
up to his neck.
The people on shore ran in every direc'
tion; several boats put out to the assistance
of Mr.. King, but from all we an learn he
arrived on shore no the opposite side Of the
river, more frightened perhaps than hurt.
The whole scene was thrilling in the ex-
treme. This was the first attempt on the
par. of Mr. King to msks an aerial voyage.

Mr.. Hobbs and his Gold.

The London Express objects, as does
Mr.. Hobbs, to the ungracious manner in
which Mr.. Bramah paid over his 200 gum
cas- for having his lock picked. 1t also
gives the following account Of the display
made Of the 200 guineas by Mr.. Hobbs at
the Crystal Palace:-
'aThe American department was again
the great feature Of attraction. Mr.. Hobbs
having with fne Barnum touch, got his
reward changed into soverei gns, and spread
them out under glass case, with a po-
licemen keeping guard and an inscription
informing the spectators that there were
two hundred guineas which had been
awarded for picking Bramah's lock. This
was an argument that appealed to the
meanest capacity, and excited so much Gu.
riosity that the place was scene Of bust
ling az day, every one wished to assure
himseiiii J.; occuiia:: proof that the American
had really won the day. The hero of a
hundred locks was himself the observed Of
all observers, and complained that even in
the streets he suffers one of the disagreeable
concomitants Of glory, in being followed by
crowds on his way to the palace.

Progress Of the Americans.

An English Journalists, speaking Of the
lnexam, led growth Of the United States,
in all The elements OF national prosperity
sums up in this wise:
"In On interval Of little more Than half
century il appears that this exlaordina-
rv people have increased over 5oo per
cent in numbers, their national revenue
has augmented nearly 700 per cent while
their public expenditure has increased lit
tie more than 400 per cent. The prodig-
ious extension of their commerce is ind.
Gated by un increase Of nearly 500 per
cent. iii their imports and exports, and
600 per cent. in their shipping. The In:
creased activity Of their internal commit
nicatiens is expounded by the numbar of
their post-uGices, which hns been Increased
more Than a hundred fold, the extent of
their post roads, which has been increased
thirty six fold, and The cost Of their post.
office, which has been augmented in sew;
ent, -,wo fold ro,io. The augmentation Of
their machinery Of public instruction is in-
dicaled by. the extent Of their public libra.
ries, which has increased in thlrty-,wo
fold ratio, and by the creation Of school H..
braries, amounting 10 1000, 900 volumes.
They have completed sy stem of canal
navigation. which, placed in continuous
line, would extend from London 10 Calcu!:
to, and a system Of railways which, con.
Hnuously extended, would stretch from Lon.
don 10 Van. Diemen's Land, and have pro-
vided locomotive machinery by which Tint
Distance would be travelled over in. three
weeks, a. the cos, of I'D. per mlle.: They,
have created system Of inland navigation,
The aggregate tonnage Of which is proba-
bly, n interior in amount to the collect
i've inland tonnage Of all other countries in
the word, and they posse many hundreds
Of river STEAMERS, which impart TO the
roaos of water the marvellous celebrity ol
roads Of iron. They have, in fine, con.
s,rucied lines Of electric telegraph which,
laid continuously, would extend over n
space longer by 5000 miles than the dis.
tance from the north to the south pole, and
have provided apparatus of transmission by
which message Of 800 words despatched
under such circumstances from the. north
pole might lie delivered IN ,orsting at the
south pole in one minute, ard by which,
consequently, an answer of equal length

The following poetical ballot was found

cratic town Of this county. 1t was depos-
lted by an aged friend Of ours, who, though
a. Wing, hasioo much love of country to
bestow his suffrage upon candidate who
sided with our country's foes in the war
With Mexico, and who voted against be-
slowing upon the war-worn soldiers a small
pitlane. OF land from the nations abun-
dance as a reward for tue valor they dis
played and the dangers and perils they en-
countered in the service Of their country:
Once more I'm peraitted to stand by the poll,
free volunteer without party control,
And vote Independent to set an example,
In hopes that all freemcn will copy my sample,
And no longer be led by a dim party taper,
But write their own tickets on sheets of fair
paper,
And vote for the man that is honest and just,
The man of integrity, true to his trust
man of ability, candor and merit
Unawed or unbiased by base party spirit,
Whose noble, capacioss and dignified soul
Will designsdly act for the good of the whole
friend to his country in peace and in war,
With morals untarnished as the beams of star;
friend to good order. religion and laws,
But not over partial to negroes or squaws--
A Republican Freeman's the name he shall
bear,
A title more noble than monarchs can wear
All party distinctions cast to the wind, -,.
They serve but to bias and hamper the mind
The children of folly, the offspring of pride,
Mere hobbies, for fallen ambition to ride
The source contention, the scourge of our land,
They've cost US more money than We can COM
mand.
The wheels of our government shackle and clog,
They plunge us in mire and obscure US in fog
Such party distin ctions with me are 10 tribes;
They may lead to the cracking of muskets and
rifles. ..
The cloud is darkening, the thunder is heard
The foes of our Union their standards have
east, se
The disease is contagious and may be increased
In this situation what is to be done1
What means shall we use or what candidates run?
The answer is easy, tits ready at hand,
'Tis courting our favor and awaits our command;
The terms are familiar, we'll known to US all
"United we stand but divided We fall"
| Our bane and our aEtidote now are before US,
The one will destroy and the other restore US
Now say, fellow citizens, which will you choose,
Our liberties cherish or free dom abuse7
When we are united our enemies fly,
Our Eagle triamphantly seurs to the sky;
But if, by disunion, and fiction we sever,
Our freedom We lose, and we lose it forever.
Our freedom was bought with much treasure and
blood,
And crown'd with the favor and blessing of Godi
And who can contemplate the dark, gloomy day
When republican fr0emen shall throw it away7
If time would permit would lengthen my COL
| umu,
And swell my remarks to to the size of volume;
But my time is far spent, must hasten away,
And leave the remainder till some future day.
