PETERsoNs MAGAZINE.

Greatly increased in size, aud improved
in elegance and merit Edited by Mrs.

RRIAL NAVIGATION.


II win not be denied that Jefferson County, is fair
" and justly entitled to the credit of making the
frs application of steGp the waters Of the great
I Potomac River at Shepherdstown, to q Steamboat
erected by the late RumBey.
This powerful engine is now In common use, and
is tue grand pTopeling Po1Der upon the high seas
thoughout tbs world, and affords rapid facilities to
the Merchant, the Farpasr and the Traveller in the
transportation of merchandise prOdaee, &c &c, from
cities to town, and from depOtS to cities.
+ In 1888 history informs us that an ascension was
made in a Balloon, by the Marquis d Arlandes and
81 Pilatre de Rozier IN France amidst the clalnorous
shouts, and enthusiastic applause of thousands Of
spectators who had assembled to witness the novel
aud thrilling spectacle.
Various attempts have since been made to intro
ducc to the travelling world Balloon navigation, but
all efforts, have as yet proved abOrtive.
Tiberius Cavalo comedies the discovery of the
aeronautica machine, to the Montgolfres as 1t first
proved successful in their hands. WOuld time and
space allow full description of the ingenuity and
ability of Cavao, especially in his philosophical
pursuits, it would be highly gratifying to those
whose intellectual researches are of that nature
MrsJohn Wise contemplates voyage across the
Atlantic Ocean in a Balloon, and should his efforts
at Shnnnondale Springs, on the latter part of this
month be crowned with success who say TINT he
will not receive from the county of Jefferson the
Cssary impetus to enable him TO triumph all his
former difficulties He has made l59 asccnsons, and
VIC feel very confident his ascension from Shannon
dale may now be set down at the 16Oth.

The following from the London News Oh the sd
August presents, n resume Of the most recent facts
bearing upon the Eastern question:
The latest as we'll as most authentic intelligence
to be obtained respecting the Eastern question IS
that which will be found in our parliamentary In-
tellipence of this date In the House of Lords last
night Lord Clarendon confirmed our statement that
Russia had forbidden the sending of tribute money
from MOldO-WallaChia to COnStantInOple, and add
ed that soon as the Porte should receive ohlcial
information Of this prohibition would call on the
Hospodars- to withdraw and cease their functions.
Our Consul al Bucharest thought that 1t would be
highly improper for him to remain in such event.
and Lord Clarendon had communicated to Lord
StratfOrd his entire oncurreRce in that opinion. a
messenger left London last niGhtfor St Petersburg
taking our instructions to Sir Hamilton Seymour,
desiring him TO demand explanation from the Russian
government as to this proceeding.
In the House of Commons, Lord John Russell made
statement describing the efforts which the powers
are making to restore friendly reaons between Rus
sia and the Porte
The Hamburg Correspondent under. date of st.
PetersbGrgh, 2lst ult, says -
"The ornaments in the interior of the empire con-
tnuc witloutinterrupton The battallions Ofreserve
Of.the 4th corps of infantry concentrated near

cupy the positions in the camp, near Krasnoge elo
and near Badost not far from Gotschino The ma
nGuveIs the Two corps, which form an elective
force of loo, 900 men, still continue"
The HiennG VGRderer has 4 letter from CONSTANT
nopIe of the 10th ult stating that the Egyptian feet
having IL, 900 men board, had arrived here, and
was doing quarantine Mt SylYi-Bourou, not far from
COnstantiuople, letters from Trebsond announced
that Abdi- Pacba had organized there corps of 2O

Hon. TRU1rAN SMITH.

Among other visiters Of distinction at Shannon
dale, is the Hon. Truman Smith, of Connecticut,
with his wife and daughter. Though we have at
times said some pretty hard things about this gem
tlsman, we jet welcome him with great pleasure
10 Our beautiful Valley, and know that he will re-
ceive from all that hospitality and courtesy which
his great abilities and untring energies give just
claim to expect
In connection with a recent trip which Nh. Smith
has made to the cooper Region" the local cor
respondent Of the Washington Republic says
The Hon. Truman Smith, who returned TO the city
q day or two since from the Lake Superior copper
region exhibits splendid array Of specimens of the
precious metal some of the oielding as high as
ninety-fve per cent. he represents these copper
mines as productive beyond all former expectations

California ARE really as valuable to the country as
these copper veins fnthe heart ofour country.

Tic preITmfnary arrangements haye been COM
pleted, and there Is now no doubt of Mr. WIS., the
great aeronaut5 making an ascension from Shan
nonda1e on OF abOut the LIST of September. To eff

not only just but generous in assisting in getting
mp so novel and curious exhibition in this part of
