A BALLOON AsCENT.--On the 29th OF Sept,
Professor La Mountain, accompanied by man
named Haddock, assembled in balloon, from
Watertown, n. Y, and as nothing was heard of
them for several days the most serious fears
were entertained for their safety. A dispatch
was received at New York, however, dated at
Ottawa, G. W., announcing that the aeronaus
had arrived at that place in safety. 1t appears
they Travelled in their balloon 800 miles, were
up from four TO five hours, and landed 100
miles north of Ottawa, in the great Canada will
derness, where they wandered about four days
without food. They were rescued providen-
TALLY by Mr. Cameron, who was hunting
timber, and brought out by Indian guides
The balloon, of course, was lost.

Destructive FIRE AT VOLcANo.-A destruc-
tive fire occurred at Volcano, Amador county, last
Saturday morning, and is supposed to have been
the work of an incendiary 1t broke out about half
past eight o'clock, in an unoccupied building, on
Consolation street. There very little wind at
the time, yet the flames spread rapidly, and in less
than an hour the entire business portion OF the city
with the exception of the re-proof buildings, in
ashes. The hook and ladder company, and the cit
zens generally, were promptly on hand, but no hui
man efforts could check the progress of the flames.
All the freproof buildings stood the fire noby, and
the post office was saved. The total loss is esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000. Twenty min
utes after the fire broke out, some of the losers had
men on the way to the different mills to engage
lumber for rebuilding.

uuorEcTION AGAINST FIRE.

Mn. Enron The Journal of last week, speaks
Of move being made by the ladies Of Nevada 70
nrocure a fire engine, and the young and brave OF
our city will be called upon to take charge OIL run
and sleep with that precious structure.
Protection against fire is a necessity that should
have been furnished us long since, and the proceeds
of ball. in which the ladies would signify special
interest are almost certain to be ample for procur
ing the means Of doing important service IN controi
ing the element which has so often destroyed the
substance and hopes Of our citizens.
A FIRE engine is good "ins.itution" in city wen
supplied with water, and whose streets are level or
well paved, but do not believe it could be maoe
servceable in Nevada, even though water was abun-
dant. The time necessarily employed in reaching
the fire, and in rigging the apparatus, would render
It useless piece of "furniture;" for, before our
"brave lads" could possibly receive orders from Their
"gallant foreman" to play a'oay our town would be
half consumed and the fire attain such progress as
to defy all the engines in the country.
A "masheen" would be very fine thing for us
.bhoys" to ornament with brass hubs, decorate with
sweet scented flowers, gracefully surmount with
gaily rustng streamers, and thus proudly lead "our
beauty" through the city to receive the admirine
gaze Of our street-corner observing citizens. But

The Nevada Democrat., 1859-11-02

ExEoUTIoNs.-John L. Jenkins, convicted Of the
murder of s. McCarty, and Thomas Elder convicted
of the murder Of Michael Myers, were executed at
Quincy, Plumas county, last Friday. From the Ar
gus, we learn that they met their fate with good
degree Of frmness and expressed firm reliance in
the promises of the gospel Both prisoners address,
ed the party assembled within the enclosure urging
them to take warning from their fate, and avoid the
practices that led to their doom. Jenkins further
stated that he had liberated himself from his chains
and had them tied with a string intending to jump
from the carriage, on his way to the galows, and
take his chances of making his escape to the woods
but mature consideration decided him to submit to
his fate, fearing that return to the world might be
followed by return to his former sinful course, and
a loss of his hopes of heaven.

Political combinations.

The opposition papers of the South are advi-
sing their members Of Congress, to form Goa
lition with the Republicans in the organization
Of the House of Representatives, for the pur-
pose of securing the spoils The Nashville Ban
ner, the leading opposition paper of Tennessee,
says: "Were we a member Of the House Of
Representatives, we would not, in any event,
support an Administration candidate" which
sentiment is endorsed by the Louisville Jour
nal The Richmond Wing, in regard to the
same matter says:
awe repeat what we have before said, that
the Southern opposition members OF Congress
should not hesitate single moment about uni
ting with the Republicans 10 the organization
of the House. Their constituents will never
hold them guiltless. should they in any manner
contribute to a Democratic organization Of the
House."
Parson Brownlow, a shining light of the OPP
position, has written letter to one "Brotber
Taylor" advising him to "pitch in" and run
for Clerk. The Parson thinks the Democrats
are terrible set Of rascas, and believing the
Republicans to be no worse, be would not hesi-
tate moment to act with the latter "in mat

lows letter, that Etheridge, an opposition men,
Der from Tennessee, is candidate for Speaker,
and bis only hope OF an election would be to
get the votes of the Republican members. Mr.
Winter Davis, who is now candidate for Con-
gress from Baltimore, strongly advocates un-
ion with the Republican members AS it will
only require the votes Of five or six opposition
members, united with the Republicans, to con-
troll the organization of the House, the pros
pect is favorable for the success of such COM
bination. The only difficulty will be in adjust
ing the proper division Of the spoils.
On the other hand we have a report that the
Southern Democrats, who were elected on the
platform of Congressional Intervention, to pro-
tect slave property in the Territories, are dis
posed to concilate the Anti-Lecompton Demo-
Gratis of the North, and for that purpose would
be willing to elect to the Speakership Morris Of
Illinois, Hickman of Pennsylvania, or Adrian
Of New Jersey But even such an arrangement
could not succeed except by securing the votes
of some nineteen or twenty Southern opposi-
tionists; and as the latter hold the balance Of
power they will be likely to use 1t to the best
advantage for the purpose OF securing the lions
share OF the spoils.
