hear from all sides that large cargoes OF

We find in the New Orleans Pica-
yune of the 9th ult.. the following in.
tereSting coount of a balloon ascension
and deScension:
We are pleased to be enabled to state
that the balloon ascension Of Mons Pc
tin on Christmas day, from lot in the
neighborhood of the Gas Works, was
eminently successful, and that the whole
party descended, not without peril, but
that they are all now safe back again
in the city. The ascension took place
at 8 o'clock, P. NJ, Mr.. Pctin being
accompanied in his erial voyage by
three passengers, namely, Mr.. Jules
Duval, Mr.. Bonnaventure and Mr. Ed
wards. Mons. Petin was obliged, on
account of the proximity of tie Charity
Hospital, to rise almost perpendicularly
for a time. The balloon soon afterward
passed over a large white cloud, but
did not go through it, as was thought
by the mutitudes who were watching
him from terra 6rma. After rising from
ten thousand to twelve thousand feet,
Mons. Petin tried the wings and steer
ing apparatus of his car, the wind being
light. He found that his frai vessel
was under his complete command. and
that he could steer her towards any
point of the compass.
The balloon afterwards attained the
height of eighteen thousand feet, the all
being very cold, when a strong wind
took him 10 the eastward with rapidity.
Soon afterwards, by a mistake, bag oI
ballast, with cord attached to it, which
had been thrown overheard, became in
some manner attached to the cord which
opened the valve for the escape of the
gas. The gas very soon escaped and
the balloon rapidly descended. Itstruck

mile from land and about fifty miles from
the city, at seventeen minutes past A
O'clock, in about fifteen feet water
The balloon and car struck the water
with so much force that the boat or cal

instruments, upset. The boat being

A NEW PLAN FOR A RAILROAD
TO THE PACIFIC,

The details of the schemes of the COM
pany of New York capitalists, to under
take the construction of the railroad TO
the Pacific, are yet subject TO some al
teration; but, in word, they propose
to relieve Congress of all difficulty as to
the location of the road, by selecting the
route themselves. They offer to make
the road in fye years and by that time
to have it in complete operation. They
ask of the Government no public lands,
except what may be necessary for the
purposes of the road. They undertake e
to procure the consent of every State
or States within the boundaries of which
they may pass They ask of Congress
a loan of thirty millions, to be issued in
five per cent. stock, and delivered to
the company as they progress with the
road, at the rate of fifteen thousand dol-
lars mile. Thus, upon the completion
and furnishing with necessary appara-
ratus for travel fifty continuous miles,
they are to receive stock to the amount
of seven hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. ... ....
The company are to pay off the loan
in thirty years; and in failure thereof,
the Government is to take possession Of
the road and its appurtenances. The
Government may also, at the end OF
twenty years, purchase the road and
take possession of it, with all its appur-
tenonces, Oh paying TO the company the
actual cost thereof.
The company shall construct single
line of magnetic telegraph along the en-
tire line Of the road, so as TO be ready
for operation on the completion of the
road The company is to carry MESA
geS Of the Government without charge
and they are also TO traSport the mails
of the United States, and mail agents,
and troops, ordnance, military stores,
naval stores and supplies, Indian sup.
plies, &c., fee of charge to the Gov
eminent.

GEN. PIERcE's FoRTuNE.-As every.
thing relating TO the President elect
possesses at this time considerable in
terest, we give the following from cor
respondent of the N. Y. Herald. Gen.
Pierce, when nominated, was compara-
lively poor man; pecuniarily consid-
cred, worth perhaps somewhere from
$4,000 to $4,000, which he had ac-
quired in the pursuit of an arduous legal
practice since he resigned his seat in
the United States Senate. Since his
election, however, his friends appear to
be adding to his fortune materially. In
addition to the magnificent ring, valued
at three thousand dollars, which was re-
Gently noticed by the Herald as having
been sentfrom California, and presented
to him last week at the fremont House,
Boston, some of his friends in that city
are about to give him splendid coach
and pair of horses. A short time since
a few of his friends here gave him gold
headed cane, on which was engraved
the different coats of arms of the thirty
one States. The ladies' of Concord are
also preparing to forward large and
beautiful copy of the Holy Bible to the
White House on the 4th Of March
Last, but not least, it is currently ru-
mored that a wealthy relative of Mrs.
Pierce, residing in Boston, has checked
the General 10 the tune Of $30,0G0,-
There may be no truth in the report, but
| hope it is correct, for unless Congress
makes an appropriation to drain and f.
nish off The public grounds between the
Presidents House and the Potomac riy-
er, the General will either have to pur-
chase q new house, or run the risk of
dying with the fever and ague, or some
worse fever, next summer.
