Mr. EatOns
Mr.. S. s. Eaton, one Of the parties V no
went up in the balloon yesterday, an account
of which is given in the proceedings of the
Fair, returned to the city last evening. Mr..
Markoe after being up about thirty minutes,
finding they were rapidly getting away from
the settled portion of the country concluded
it was best to descend, and let off the gas
for that purpose. Then finding themselves
descending very rapidly they threw out their
ballast. When they alighted they were in
in the vicinity of Forest Lake about 20 miles
in northeasterly direction from this city,
Mr. Eaten jumped out and fastened the rope
around a tree, but the balloon being by this
operation relieved of l60 pounds of ballast
suddenly shot up in the air breaking the cord
in two, and was soon out of sight Of Mr.. Ea-
ton, having Messrs. NJ arkoe and Brown in it..
This was about IL o'clock NJ. only IS or
40 minutes after leaving st Paul.
Mr.. +. then started on his return to this
city, and reached here as above stated, being
obliged to travel great portion of the way on
foot.
p. S.-Messrs. Markoe and Brown re-
turned at 5 o'clock the next morning, having
made a safe descent five miles from the place
they left Mr.. Eaton.

Gloomy Reports from Nicaragua.

New YoRK, Jan. "a. Passengers
from Nicaragua in the James Adger, give
gloomy accounts Of Walkers situation.
The seizure Of the transit route and steam
boats by Spencer is confirmed. He
states openly that he acted in behalf Of
Vanderbilt. No injury was offered to
the passengers in the captured boats, but
they were escorted to Greytown, where
the steamer was boarded by an officer
from British man-of-war, who ordered
the baggage Of the men to be put off in
stantly. Spencer keptthe American flag
flying from his steamer, although he made
his captures in the name Of Costa RIGA.
President Mora of the Costa Rican gov
ernIneni, has issued a proclamation grant
ing pardon TO Walkers men. and a
Tree passage back to the States. MANY
OF Walker men, both officers and nr;-
Yates were deserting. They all tell hard
stories Of their suffering from hunger and
sickness. Walker was still at Riyas. Wit,
600 men, and another account saws 1900
Spencer states that the Costa Rieans
have 1900 troops posted along the route,
They are also in strong force at Seragui.
and have guns posted on both shores.
The report that Gen. Henningsen had
fought his way out Of Granada and Joined
Walker, Is confirmed, as is also the ru-
NOR that Gen. Chiffon with large body
Of men had pronounced for Walker al
Leon. Walker, it is said, retook Riyas
without losing a man. Capt. Saunders
with bis rifles had advanced to Leon to
occupy shat post. The foregoing dispatch

returned Niearaguans who give very con-
aicting slofies.
