Aobbsng an hcendiary Paper in Kentucky
The Types Thro,vn into the River For
some time free soil pape-, called the Stree
South, has been published at Newport, XVI.
across the river from Cincinnati. Ga Satur-
day morning last a number OF citizens met
and adopted resolutions that it was ineendi-
airy in its character, and should be removed
to the other side Of the river. The assem-
blsge then proceeded to the obn oxious Office.
The Commercial says: F
Maj Hallam approached within speaking
distance and stated to Mr. Baily that no harm
was intended or would be done to him or his
family, and requested him to open his door.
This Mr.. Baily refused to do and begged the
crewd to reconsider its intention offering, at
the same time, to admit to the columns of
his paper any objection any citizen bad to
any article published therein.
A number of persons then seized ladder
lying upon the pavem 4ut and attempted to
place it against window, in the second sto
ry, but painter who was at work there ap-
peared at the window and Threatened to
hurl Ratchet at the first who would at
tempt to ascend. A young man named Bar
~ Taylor Immediately produced q revolver,
but it was wrested from his grasp b. ons OF
the bystanders. A heavy plank was then
procured by the assailants, and used as
battering ram against the door which was
burst open by one ponderous blow. Upon
attempting to enter the premises, however,
Miss Eleanor, dau ghter of MIR. Baily, ap-
peared at thrd-story window, armed with
brickbat, and threatened to throw it at
whoever approached. Now commenced q
ridiculous scene between the assailants and
Miss Eleanor, who SHOWED. her determination
to execute her threat; they withdrew to
safe distance from the range of her missiles.
while she stood firm and ready to hurl them
One man, more brave than the 9th ers, made
a race for the d oor, but barely escaped the
inevitable brick-bat; others followed, and by
feints and lodges succeeded in keeping th cir
heads whole, and folio wed the predecessor
into the building.
Soon after the crowd gained entrance to
the Office they proceeded to take the press to
pieces, and carry the cases of type into the
street,bu a number of halfgrown boys com
menced an indiscriminata destruction of
every article they could fad. Type were
scattered, cases and furniture were thrown
from the windows upon the sidewalk. and
portions OF the press. by this time detached,
were hurled down the stairs and broken.
A wagon was loaded with tho fragments
u
the composing room and conveyed to Dods
worth's coal-yard, on the corner of Front
and Lawrence streets. Another load was
deposited on the ferry warf-boat, and a third
was thrown into the river.
4Erial Navigation.-Pro 7. s. G. Lowe,
the eronaut, who proposes to take voyages
to Europe in his balloon, the City of New
York, which is now being inflated for the
trip, has published card, giving his purpo-
SEES and desires in undertaking trans tlantic
air voyage. We copy portion of the card:
"SOme people may think l am insane, rash
or seeker after fame; but this net the case
l have tor two years cooly considered the
subject, and have provided for every contin-
gency. l intended to make my frat trip
across the ocean entirely private undertak-
ing; but finding that the amount of expense
to be incurrr ed would overtax my personal
means, have been compelled to announce
public exhibition, while preparing for the
voyage. am confident OF success for var
iOus reasons:
First-I have large balloon, which has a
capacity of 725,000 cubic feet; therefore,
should the envelope be no more perfect than
those which are usually constructed, it will
ratain its power for a longer period
Second have devised mechanical appli-
aaces for raising and lowering the balloon
while in the air, without expenditure Of the
lifting power.
Third have invented an apparatus for
indicating the different curreats, should
find myself going too tar north or south.
Should any accident occur, or should the
balloon machinery fail to accomplish its
work, the metallic lifeboat, which will be sus.
pended below the car, is rugged with sails,
and will prove sufficiently strong to endure
any sea.
1t is true, would have preferred another
season of the year for undertaking this first
great experiment n transatlantic naviga.
tion, but should thA first attempt at an ex-
ploring expedition,as term it, not prove en-
tirely successful, shall not be discouraged
nor debarred from instituting experiments
with view of ascertaining the cause of fail
ure and the remedy therefor. l shall be
supplied with all the philosophical apparatus
necessary to take meteorological observa-
tions. II srial navigation is ever perfected
it will be accomplished by perseverance,,
even in the midst of opposition and detrac-
ton. am willing to take the risk, and if
can do anything to add, In however email a
measure, to the store of scientific know ledge
l shall feel amply repaid.
