SENATOR BRIGHT.

The absence of Governor Bright from his
seat in the Senate for the last few days is owing
10 severe indisposition. We deeply regret to
learn that he is suffering from an aggravated
attack of inaammatory rheumatism, to which
he is subject. We regret his sickness on his
own account, for purer and a nobler man
does not live. We also regret it on account of
the temporary loss to the Senate of one whose
counsels are always able, enlightened, indie
pendent and honest. We sincerely hope that
his health may soon be restored.

AWFUL DEATH.-A most tragical tale is told
of the suferings of three soldiers of detach.
ment of the 69th regiment, now stationed at
Toronto, and black man, who got into a boat,
the soldiers with the intention of deserving. and
getting over to Crab Island, and from thence.
as opportunity offered, to America. After a
while, the wind arising, they were driven out Of
their course, and SO remained in the open boat
for several days without food or water. At
length one of the soldiers proposed to draw
lots that one should be killed to furnish food
for the others. They did so, and the lot fell
upon Thomas Buckley, one of the soldiers, who
forthwith bound up his arm, and opened vein
to bleed himself to death; one of the others and
the black man, sucked his blood, and AFTER
wards went raving mad, and jumped into the
sea. Buckley also died /; and there remained
only one soldier out of the party in the boat,
VIM. Lennon, who threw the dead body into
the sea, dashed the helm, and left himself to his
fate. He had not tasted any Of Buckley's
blood, because, according to his own statement,
he had felt scruple in doing SO as he had
been his comrade. After Ii days drifting, the
boat was driven on the coast Of st. Domingo,
and the coast-guard found the survivor, and
after giving him some refreshments, carried
him TO Jacnel to the British Consul, before
whom he made relation Of the facts as above,
and he was sent back to Tortola in the steamer.

THE SOUTHERN WINGS AND THE
NEBRASKA BILL,

few days since we copied an article from
leading southern wing paper, the Richmond
Wing, in which it announced its approval Of
the Nebraska bill, and announced it in the
most emphatic language. We transfer to our
paper of this morning another article on the
same subject from the same journal. We are
pleased to learn from that article that in its patri
otto effort to establish on firm basis the sound
constitutional doctrine of congressional non
intervention it counts on the sympathy and CO.
operation of the southern wings generally. We
have not doubted from the first that such would
be the case. The Richmond Wing magnani.
mously confesses its mistake in imputing to
Judge Douglas improper motives in his intro
duction of the Nebraska bill into the Senate.
We copy the whole article:
The Washington Sentinel, in giving our
views of the Nebraska bill, would seem to have
been in some doubt with respect to our opin.
ions on the subject. 1t is a little strange that
we, who have never had the slightest connex-
ion with freesoilers at home or abroad, and
never given to them or to their doctrines the
least countenance, should come under suspicion
in any quarter. We suppose it is owing to the
fact that, while we have always upheld the Just
rights of the south, we have not been particu-
arly noisy about it, and have not at all times
had faithin the selfconstituted champions of the
south, who professed themselves better friends
to the STAKEHOLDER than the STAKEHOLDER was
to himself. As to the bill under consideration,
we never had any hesitation with respect to its
leading features, and we suppose there is not
| whlg in all the south who had. Our only APP
prehension was that direct issue might not
be made, or, if there was, that the administra-
ton and the southern advocates Of its policy Of
rewardlng freesoilers might dodge. We wished
them hrst to commit themselves beyond the
power of retreat.
In, o paragraph, a few days ago. we ex-
pressed or implied doubt touching the mo-
| tives which may have actuated Mr.. DOUGLAS in
this matter. We arc persuaded we did that
gentleman injustice, and we wish frankly to re-
pair it. We are satisfied he has by his con
duct on this occasion exhibited dsinterested
fearlessness, more and more rare every day in
public men, and therefore more to be com.
mended. Some latent ambition may have ex.
erted an influence upon him; but it was an
excusable, laudable ambtion--that sort Of
| ambition, without which patriotism would be-
come extinct, and great and noble deeds would
cease to be achieved. If he hoped to win the
Presidency, he at the same time must have
been conscious of the risk he ran Of compro-
hitting himself at home, and sacrificing all
bis future prospects. He was the only man Of
his party or his section who had the nerve, the
manliness, the Curtain spirit, to brave the crisis
His conduct forms an enviable contrast to that
Of our great man, Mr.. Everett who, with ex-

WAYS OF STEERING BALLooSs.-We never
watch rocket flying without wishing 10 see ;ts
principle extended to the balloon, SO as to furn.
ish o means of guiding it. Let a balloon. ele
waited by hydrogen or coalgas, be also furnished
with the means of discharging vapor, such
as steam, .carbonic acid, the products of ordi-
nary combustion, or the like, and let this va
por be allowed to rush out against the air, ms
the gases produced by the combustion of the
powder in rocket do If the gas were thus
discharged from tube pointing downwards.
the balloon would ascend; if the tube were
placed horizontally, the machine would be i'm.
PEELED horizontally in the opposite direction.
BY the combination of two tubes, each nova
BILE on universal joint, the balloon might be
driven in any direction. The principle we are
sure is just one; we may yet see It applied in
practice.--British Quarterly.
