BALLOON Experiments.

Mr.. Wise, the celebrated balloon;st, has
gone to Washington for the purpose Of
making a series Of balloon experiments
under the patronage and direction of the
Smithsonian Institute, which supplies
him with instruments for the purpose
One Of the experiments will consist Of a
squadron of balloons in the shape Of a
balloon regatta. In another one he will
cut loose from the balloon, when two
miles high (leaving the balloon in charge
Of companion), and descend with can
vass air conductor. Mr.. Wise expects
to establish the practicability Of guiding
balloons along the lines Of telegraph, and
by other means, so as to be able to steer
for and arrive at a given point, with as
much certainty as ships are made to nav
igate the ocean and carry on commerce
with the world.

sa5-Some years ago bank messenger on
board the steamers between Newport and
Providence, L. L., was robbed of q valse
containing SAC 900. 1t was taken almost
before his eyes, but no clue was ever OBJ
tanned to the manner of its mysterious dis
appearance. The last Police Gazette in a
biographical sketch of a notorious English
thief, Mike, gives the following account Of
the circumstances of the robbery:
''The greatest robbery in which he was
concerned, was the robbery Of the bank por-
ter. between Newport and Providence, r. 1.
| Mike ard his associates ascertained that on a
certain day the bank porter would convey an
| immense amour; of money from Newport
to Providence. The thieves provided them-
selves with satchel similar to the porter's,
and on the way to Providence, while one Of
the gang disengaged his attention, Mike
changed the satchels. When opened, it con-
tanned, to their delight, $40 900. As soor as
fair division of the spoils had been made
the 'smob" separated, and while one wen
West and another South, Mike took the safes
plan to prevent arrest by going to Londor
with his share of the plumber.

The October EtectipS.

We learn from friend who has just
reached home from Washington, that
determination is expires sed there by the
Lecompton leaders to carry this State at
the next election at any cost. Bright
and Fitch must be sustained, and Judge
Niblack, and other Lecomptonites from
this State must be returned to Congress,
if labor. intrigue and money will accom-
plish these ends. Jesse %. Bright will
open his Golfers, filled to plethora. by means
none can know,-but all can guess
and, il need be, empty them to gain the
purpose; for the source Of replenishing
the loss will be preserved to him. His
men have already begun their labors in
all parts of the State, and are now active
in this Congressional District. 1t has
been confidently proclaimed that Nib
lack shall be reelected, and every Post
master-every one who can be swayed
by hopes or fears of office,--will be oblig.
ed to join in the effort to overcome the
honest convictions Of the people. In tht
Indiana "Club Room" at Washington
ten or twelve clerks are constantly EN-
ployed in counterfeting the franks" o
Bright and Fitch and Of other Lecompton
members, to documents with which they
arc flooding this State.
Over 10000 copies Of Lecomp
ton documents are reported to have beer
already sent to Indiana. Let no mar
who receives one OF these missives flatte
himself that 1t is personal attention
from Bright or Fitch, or the member
whose frank it bears; for the frank is /,
forgery by one of the employees of TIT
club room, and the direction is from |
list of voters furnished by the Postmas
tiers in each village. which lists ar
never seen by Mr.. Bright or other mem
bers, and they care no more for the me-
to whose address they are sent, than the,
do for the laborers on Southern planta
ton. Their interest in them is for thei
votes, and not themselves. Let thos
who receive these documents accept tn
attention, and treat it as it deserves.

THE PROGRESS OF CALIFoRNIA.-In
looking back upon the history OF Califor-
MIA for ten years, its advance seems al
most incredible. Cities have been built
the wilderness turned into cultivated
fields, dotted with thrifty and populous
viilages-railroads, telegraph lines and
canals have been constructed, and her
population already enjoy all the refine
ments and advantages Of an old civiliza-
ton.
At the beginning of ls4s, Upper California
contained hardly Is, 000 Inhabitants, of whom,
about 1000 were in San Francisco. Its only
riches consisted in sheep and cattle; its only
articles of export being the wool, hair, hides,
and tallow of these animals.
In May. ls49. Immigration commenced to
people Upper California; and this region
before 30 quiet and poor, presented the most
confused mixture OF men, distinct in race
customs. and language. attracted thither by
the fabulous discoveries Of gold. EmigIants
came, not only by way Of Panama and Cape
Horn, but through Sonora, Texas, and the
valley of the Mississippi, across the continent
from the New England States, and from for
eign countries.
In June, 1850, the census reckoned 92.5st
inhabitants. In 1852, they mum bered 269,.
$50; and they have continued TO increase
gradually. till, at the end Of 1857, they
amounted to 597 900, classified as follows
332 $50 North Americans. $4,000 Indians
35 800 Chinese 10000 French, $4,000 o
Spanish race, 10000 Irish, 1000 English, anC
1000 people of color. In ten years, there
fore, from 1S4S to 1858, the population o
California has increased forty -iold.
