Henry A. Wise.

~
The hubbub raised by politicians on &C
count Of the Donnelley letter has died out
and the people Of America are again look
| ing towards It's author as their only hope
in the campaign of 1869. A short time
ago the cry was, ''Wise is dead and never
can be resurrected.' e.He had blundered.
and : blunder BY public man il crime.
We heard the same cry in 1850, IN Virgin
ia, at the commencement Of the war Of ex-
termination against the Know Nothngs: -
Wise wrote letter then, taking = decided
stand against all secret political parties, and
| it was said to be his death knell. TITS now
acknowledged by friend and foe that no 9th
| er man IN the broad Commonwealth Of Vir-
ginia cosM have been elected against that
organization, and his denunciation Of, and
deciaca stand against II, was the only way
to save the Democratic party IF Virginia
and Of the Union.
He was blamed then for coming o'ut and
acknowledging his principles-he Is blamed
now for doing the same thing-the only
difference is, that was public letter writ
ten for the eye of the world this Is . pri-
vate one written for an individual, IA an
swer to questions asked. and. singular to
say, the private letter will bear At close
scrutiny as the public one. In the one, he
avows his hostility to secret societies. native
Americanisn, &c. in the other he ex-
claims against King Caucus, wishes the
rights of the people protected, and shows
how it can be done. 1fin doing this his
interests are forwarded, can he be blamed
ought he to be blamed for having cause
in common with the peopies and TO serve
the people he is obliged to serve himself
Let us see what principle is enunciated in
the Denneiiey letter, and found SO much
| fault with by Wise's enemies It was
right that the people should be represented
in the Charleston Convention, and the only
way to accomplish this IS to have the dele
/ gates nominated by Districts instead Of by
the Albany Regency. if the said Regen-
cy were two powerful for the people in this,
then that the people should organize by dis
tricts and send delegation to Charleston
with that of the Regency, and appeal to the
good sense Of the Convention. Which had
the best right to represent the State of New
York there, The Regency's delegation, Or
the Peoples delegation This is certainly
declaring war against Caucuses. Is II
wrong if 20. Henry A. Wise is accounta.
Bile, and ought to be punished if not, and
Henry A. Wise was advocating the rights
and interests Of the people, he deserves their
/ gratitude: Even if he could not separate
bis interests from theirs, and was acting al
much or more for himself than them, The
result is the same-he has done them an ia
esimable service, and should be rewarded
It is war Of the People and Henry "A
Wise against the Politicians. Who shall
conquer? AUGUSTA.

Fatal Acc1DENr.-About 2 O'Clock last
Saturday evening. Mr.. ARCHIBALD II. BAR
CLAY, who was out cunning, accidently shot
himself. It appears that he was sitting
down under tree near the public reservoir
on the hill above his mothers house, with
the muszle of his gun, which was heavily
charged with turkey shot, leaning against
his right breast and the beech resting upon
a rock. The gun slipped off the rock by
some means and was discharged thereby the
contents entered his side, carrying with it
into the flesh portions of his clothing, and
inaicting most frightful wound. The
muzzle being against his person set FIRE to
his clothing, which younger brother, who
fortunately was with him, cut away with his
knife After receiving the wound Mr.. b.
got up and started for home about a quarter
Of mile distant, met with wagon on his
way in which he was placed and carried
home. The load entered, as we learn, a.
mong the short ribs, ranging up and back
wards. He fingered on in intense pain till
three o'clock Monday morning, when he
died
The deceased was about nineteen years Of
age, member Of the present Senior Glass
of Washington College. beloved by his
youthful associates on account Of the many
amiable traits of character which he posses
sed; but above all and better than all for
one who is suddenly called from time tc
eternity, he was an unpretending follower
of Him whose favor is better than life. -

TIE ANNEXATION or TUSCANY AND Mo-
DErA 70 SARDINIA. The people Of Tusca-
ny and Modena, in Italy, through their
constituted representative, have decided on
being annexed to the Kingdom of Sardinia
Probably no force will be employed by any
ofthe great powers to prevent the annexa-
tion. It is desired, and would be beneficial
to both parties by the arrangement. 1t
will raise the population Of the Kingdom
of Sardinia 70 about eleven millions and a
half, which Parma will increase to pow
~erful Italian State; which could easily bring
into the field three hundred and fifty thou
sand regular soldiers. 1t would be pow
er almost equal to Prussia, and Would be
adequate to the defense Of Italy from for
eign invasion. Sardinia would then COM
prise within its limits the magnificent cities
of Milan, Turin, Florence, Leghorn. and,
with the exception Of Venice. would inelade
all Northern and most Of Central Italy -
There would then only be in the Peninsu-
la, Naples, Sardinia and che States Of the
Church.
The divisions Of Italy, which have beer
It's bane, would end when 50 large portion
Of it was Incorporated into one State, anc
Italy would soon be truly independent
Sardinia entered the late war with less thar
FIVE millions Of people, but she bids fair tt
come out Of it with nearly twelve millions

AN IMMENSE KR1AL SH1p-FRoM New
YORK TO LONDON IN Forty EIGHT Hours
The New York Times contains an account
of new erial ship, which is in course of
construction, about 4 miles from that city,
under direction Of the aeronaut, Z. s. G.
Lowe, of New Hampshire. man who is
said to have made thirty-six balloon ascen-
sions. The new aerial ship has been chris
tened the City Of New York. and is designed
for transatlantic voyage. Iii Eve times
larger than the largest balloon ever before
built. Its dimensions arg as follows:
Greatest diameter-feet, 100
Transverse diarneter-feet, l04
Height from valve to boat-feet, $50
Weight, with out6t--tons, 81
Lifting power [aggregate)-tons 224
Capacity gas-envelope, cubic-feet, 725. 900
Six thousand yards, ffty-four thousand
square feet, of twilled cloth, have been used
in the construction Of the envelope, and
seventeen sewing machines have been en-
ployed in connecting the pieces. The up
per extremity of the envelope, intended to
receive the gas-valve. is Of triple thickness,
strengthened with heavy brown linen, and
sewed in triple seams The pressure being
greatest at this point, extraordinary power
Of resistance is requisite. 1t is asserted
that one hundred women, sewing constant
~ for two years, could not have accomplish
ed this work, which measures ly niles
| The material is stout, and the stitching
stouter:
/ The vatnish applied to CHS envelope Is a
composition, the secret Of which rests with
| Mr.. Lowe Three or four coatings are ap.
piled, in order to prevent leakage Of the
gas. l
The netting around The envelope is equal
to 100 tons. The basket is circular, twenty
feet in circumference and four feet deep
It is to be warmed by limestone, which is
to furnish heat without fire. Below the
basket is metallic life=boat, containing an
Ericsson engine, designed to control pro-
peller, by which means it is believed reg
ula:ing power may be obtained, The pro-
peller is fixed in the bow Of the life-boat,
projecting at an angle of about forty FIVE
degrees. From wheel at the extremity
twenty fans radiate. Each Of these fans is
Eve feet in length, widening gradually from
the point of contact with the screw to the
extremity, where the width of each is l IL
feet. Mr.. Lowe claims that by the applica-
ton OF these mechanical contrivances his
air-ship can be readily raised or lowered;
to seek different currents Of air; that they
will give hin, ample Storage way, and that
they will prevent the rotary motion of the
machine.
Mr.. Lowe expresses complete confidence
in his aerial ship, and DECLARES his purpose
to start to Europe with it, and hopes to
make the trip in forty eight hcurs. The
enterprise involves an expense Of $40, 900
The time for the ascension is not fixed, but
the event will probably occur in three OF
; four weeks.

our gratitude for his kindness in prohibiting

have done Mr.. Douglas the injustice to doubt
the genuineness of this self-evident emana-

perhaps moral to the great Harper fable
