A BIRD's-EYE VIEW OF THE DISMAL SWAMP,
Mr.. Geo. Elliott, the aeronaut, recently made an
ascension near the Magnolia Springs, in the
neighborhood Of the Dismal Swamp. 1t was
his one hundred and fourth successful trip to
the skies, and he declared that no former one had
given him greater satisfaction. The weather
was delightful, calm and clear; not a cloud
decked the horizon; gentle breeze gradually
took him, as he assembled, to the west. Amid
the cheers of bis spectators, the roar of cannon
and the sounds of music, be assembled seventeen
thousand feet, having view of the entire Dis
NAL Swamp, though at no time was he invisible.
Mr.. Elliott says the scenery was the most pic
turesque ever witnessed. Lake Drummond, sit
uated in the centre Of this great swamp, pre-
scented a sublime and pleasing sight. Herepre-
scented the swamp as one vast plain, interspersed
with innumerable pools or lakes, whose surface
presented golden hue.

The Il, *. Collins left Detroit on the night of

midnight, when she was near Walden, she took
Are, and was soon completely in flames. The
fire broke out on her lower deck, and such of
her passengers and crew as escaped were una
BILE to save any thing except the clothes they had
on. Nearly all Of them were compelled to jump
overheard to escape the fire. But few would
have been saved But for the fortunate arrival of
the propeller Fintrey, Capt. Langley. All his
boats were manned, and nearly every soul saved
was through his exertions and instrumentality.
Most Of the passengers were asleep when the
dre broke out, and of course there was great
CONSERVATION on board when they became aware
Of the danger. Many plunged into the water.
