Death ofthe 20, tmaster General.

Hon. AARON Y. BEowS, Postmaster Cen
oral Of the L. s., died on the morning OF
TIE o.h inst, at his residence in VI ashington
city, after an Illness Of about two weeks
He was conscious Up to witi.in fifteen min.
utes ofthc time of his death, aad took leave
Of his family. The President had a final
interview with him the evening before, and
was affected to tears. His last words are
said 10 have been the BILL" evidently re-
ferring to the Post office appropriation bills
which had been defeated.
Mr.. Brown was from Tennessee, of which
State he was elected Governor in lSi5.-
He had also served six years from 1910 to
1850 in Congress. lie was also chair
man Of the co:nmitte on resolutions in the
Baltimore Convention Of 1852, and had the
honor to report the platform then and there
adopted. He was fine stump orator, and
a Statorights man of the strict constructions
list school. In character he was said to CON-
bine suavity of manner with unblem!shed
purity, great industry and talent.
On the 4th CT March, 1857, he was ap-
pointed Postmaster General by Mr.. Buchau-
an. and during lis term of Office has done
more to improve the mail facilities on the
western rivers than was ever done by any
OF mis- predecessors.
The death of Mr.. Brown was preceded
but four days by that of JONI MARION, Esq,
Sd Assistant Postmaster General, who died
on the 4th inst. But two days before his
death he had attended party Of a friend
apparently in the enjoyment of perfect
health.
These important deaths, combined with
tho defeat of the post Qi.ic" 80.

New IaEpsh;rc Ciccficn

The democracy have met with another
overthrow in New Hampshire. They have
done no worse than they did year ago, but
they expected to do much better. They
have lost the Governor by 5000 majority
all the Congressman, and Of course the lie.
gislature. We notice complaints since the
election that the democracy Of New Hamp.
shire were crippled in their fight with the
enemy by unwarran;able interference from
the executive at Washington, as the demo
cracy OF Illinois were attempted TO be pa.
ralyzed year ago. A few Of the democrat,
ic candidates were supposed to be friendly
to Douglas, and Of course in the eyes of the
present executive, the election of Rcpubli-
cans was preferable to such.

80 Extra Session of the Legislature.

The Chicago Press announces, il not Of
ficially, that the Governor will call no extra
session of the legislature. The Supreme
Court having decided that the Auditor is
authorized, without any further legislative
authority, to pay all the salaries fixed b.
the constitution, the failure to pass the APP
preparation bill will have no other effect than
to stop the pay of the newspapers and a few
similar expenses Of the late legislature, and
TO postpone the payment of some money
due for work about the capital; but can lead
10 no such serious consequences as stopping
the wheels o! government OF destroying the
public credit.

Mr.. John La Mountain is busily engaged
in this city in making preparations for the
construction Of the balloon with which he
homes TO be able to cross the Atlantic during
the coming reason. For two weeks one Of
Butchers patent machines, at the rope snd
cordace works, has been used in making the
tw inc to be used for the net of the ship
This is about 10 of an inch in thickness,
and composed Of thirty six strands of the
very best Holland linen, carefully selected
FROM the stock at the MechanicviIlc thread
mills. 1t was necessary to guage the ma
chaine and drills, in order 10 turn out cord
Of the required size. That produced is re-
markedly beautiful in its ake-as smooth
and even as woven silG. Its strength may
be inferred from the fact, that it will resist
steady strain of three hundred pounds
The silk for the balloon has been selected
from a recent Importation from the East
Indies at New York. 1t is remarkable for
the strength and tirmness Of its fibre, while,
at tho same time, it is as light as any in
market The balloon is to be constructed at
Lancaster, Pa, upon the frames and with
the apparatus used by Mr. Wise, the father
OF :eranautics, for the purpose. 1t viii,
probably, be completed early in May. The
: first trial trip will be made from Chicago
during the latter part OF that month and
Mr. La Mountain designs crossing one Of the
lakes, and travelling at least one thousand
miles over continent. Whatever may be
. thought OF the practicabity Of his scheme,
he has catered into it with hearty earnest
ness which proves that he believes its &C
complishnent practicable, and is prepared to
risk every thing in the venture, with no pos
sibe hope OF making anything unless he
succeeds. In this nineteenth century il will
not do to laugh at any proposition. however
absurd it may seem. We can, therefore,
/ only wait, aud we shall see what we shall
see. IT Mr. La Mountain should cross the
I Atlantic with an AERIAL, his name vii, Of
course, so down TO posteritv with those Of
the most famous man; if he does not, he
