The STATE AUDIToRsHIP-It is stated
by some of our exchanges this week. the Pal
ladium, the Boston Bee, and perhaps one or
two others, that Mr.. A L. Rogers of this city
was a candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for State Auditor, upon the suppostion
that Mr.. Charles White, the present incum-
bent did not intend to be candidate for re-
election. 1t has also been industriously circu-
lated that Mr. White was DESTROYS of securing
the nomination for county office in the case
OF his failure to receive denomination. 1t is
due to Mr.. White, and to the friends who sus-
tanned him, to state that his resignation was
not thought of, unless his constituents had ex-
pressed such desire, and that he would
not have accepted the Office of High
Sheriff, if he had not been re-nominated for
the Office which he worthily and faithfully fills
The supposed vacancy" has existed entirely
in the imagination of others than those who
were friendly to Mr.. White, and had a
personal interest in having vacancy" de-
clared. We make this statement Wittou solic-
itaton, and only to correct an impression
which the reports to which we refer are quite
likely to convey.

"THE Book OF THE FIRST AMERICAN
CHESS CONGRESS" has been published in New
York by Rudd & Carleton. 1t comes very
late, nearly two years after the adjournment
of that "First Chess Congress-" and long
time after most of those who had expected the
book, had ceased to feel much interest in it.
If it had been published as first promised,
there would have been large demand for it..
But the work of preparing record Of that
famous Chess Congress in which Paul Morphy
became the foremost man, was trusted to in
competent and Enthusiastically -hands. Mr. D..
and who undertook to make an appropriate
Book of the Congress" has done himself no
credit in this affair. The Boston Evening
Gazette's chess editor speaks of "his known
ability" which should have been made mani
fest but there is mistake about this "known
ability" Mr.. Fiske has nothing of the
kind. His ability is altogether unknown" and
quite likely to remain so. We have seen
his inability, not only in the preparation ofthis
volume, but also in his attempts to be 'litera-
ry" and "knowing" in the Chess Monthly ;
all that is excellent in both publications, being
quite Independent of anything he has done.
The volume before us, seems to have been
thrown together and II contains much matter
that is quite inappropriate to such work. 1t
will have value for chess players in the re-
corded games of the grand tournament, and
in some other portions Of its contents and in

Tia LOST BALLooNIsr.-It is now eight
days since Mr.. LaMontain assembled in his
balloon from WATERFOWL, N. Y. Mr. John A.
Haddock of that place went with him, and,
when last seen, the balloon was over the great
wilderness of northern New York, known as
the hundred mile woods" travelling with
great velocity in north easterly direction
The voyagers may have landed in some dis.
tant part of Lower Canada; they may have
left the coast and descended into the ocean !;
and one of their friends intimates that they
may have gone on forced voyage to North
ern Europe. The uncertainty in regard to
their fate causes great anxiety among their
friends, as appears in the dispatches we have
printed and the public generally will share
share WISE a anxiety. The following from a
WaSseesss~~sn paper describes their departure
from that place, and gives some speculations
in regard to their fate:
"The balloon rose beautifully and maiest-
cally above the village, amid the shouts of the
crowd. After reaching a few hundred feet, it
passed off to the northeast, and in about 20
minutes was out of sight 1t was seen to pass
Philadelphia, 18 miles distant, Is minutes af
ter its departure. The last that was heard of
it was its passage over the town of Fowler, st.
Lawrence County, 30 miles distant, when it
seemed to be moving at rapid rate in the
same direction as before. 1t was supposed
that they would come down before dark, and
their return to the village was confidently ex-
pected by the morning train from Potsdam.
Up to this ume--hve days--nothiny has
been heard from Them and consequently there
is much anxiety about their safety, and the
balloon and its passengers is the theme of con-
yersation everywhere. We hope, however.
that the predictions of many friends NAV not
be realized and that we may have the pleas
ure of welcoming them back among us after
successful and pleasant voyage. A gentleman
somewhat yersed in air travelling and the con-
dltiOn OF the yoyagers, states that the eronauts
at the last moment, evidently were disposed to
remain in tine air over nightif they found cir.
cumstances favoring such a course--that they
probably did so, and landed in the morning
in some out-of-the-way wilderness, and that
the distance, on landing, from inhab-
tied point explains the delay of tidings from
them, that they were well clad, and could
not suffer from cold that they had but a
small quantity of provisions, say three pounds,
but that at this season of the year they could
not ind 1t very difficult to obtain the means of
sustaining life; that they are both resolute
men and well calculated TO surmount obstacles /:
that they had from $50 to 800 pounds ballast
which would enable them, If they struck the
Gulf OF St Lawrence, to cross that Indy of
water, and possibly to cross the ocean. If their
course unfortunately lay in that direction
and that their absence should not cause esne
cial alarm even though they should not ret,iro
for several days"

CAPTAIN CoMsToCK's OPINION OF THE
GREAT EAsTERN.-Capt. Comstock, lately of
the Collins steamship Baltic, who came home
as passenger in the Vanderbilt, arrived yes
terday. Capt. Comstock, it will be recollected.
commanded the Russian steam frigate General
Admiral on her recent voyage from New York
to Croustadt. He has taken great interest
in the mammoth steamer Great Eastern from
the commencement, has visited her every few
months while in course of construction, and,
on the invitation of Capt. Harrison, her com
mander, and the board of directors of the
great ship company, he accompanied her on
her recent trip, and happened to be on deck at
the time of the fatal steam explosion off Hast
ings, on the evening of the 9th inst. Captain c.
is highly pleased with the steamer, pronounces
her perfect success so far as navigation is
concerned, and is even enthusiastic on the
subject of her performances. Many have the
impression that the late trial was trip for
speed, and this is an entiremistake. The trip
was made simply for the purpose of removing
the ship from her position in the Thames to a
seaport where she can be coaled and put in
proper trim for a trial trip.

NARROW EsCAPE.-As man named Thorn
as McDermott, from Stoneville, attempted to
drive his horse and buggy across the railroad
track on Front street, last evening, he came in
collision with the evening train from Norwich
after the gate had been opened and several
persons had warned him of the approach of
the train. The consequence was, the horse
got far enough along to have the engine hit
one hind wheel of the buggy breaking it, but
fortunately causing no other damage A two
quart jug of poor but very strong liquor rolled
out upon the ground without breaking it. but
the contents were very wisely emptied upon
the ground by the police, who put McDermot
into the lookup for being drunk.

The MUSICAL CONVENTION is attended by
large company Of singers We notice many
very superior voices, and the effect of the
united chorus is very grand. A discussion of
the subject of congregational singing took
place yesterday, which was maintained by
several gentlemen 1t was almost wholly on
one side, to be sure, but much was ELECTED
which was apropos to the matter A rever-
end gentleman of the Methodist connexion
made some interesting remarks in favor of the
general idea of singing by the congregation.
Mr.. Baker doubted the practicability of that
kind of singing, and Mr. CoIlester expressed
the opinion that congregational singing would
scarcely do in the present state of musical
knowledge and culture. Mr.. Baker thought
bad singing was no more tolerable than bad
preaching or praying. Mr.. Hamilton thought
the genius and temper of the American people
not Of character to promise that degree of
attention to the subject which alone would in
sure its success
The exercises will conclude with grand
finale concert this evening. The members of
the Musical Convention will be assisted by
Mrs. Little, soprano, and Mr. S. b. Ball, tenor !;
and the entertainment will comprise songs,

The bee goes murmuring through the wood,
Where hide the flowers in shade;
Light floats the fleecy clouds above

No breeze the tall grass stirs; the leaves
Scarce whisper on the bought

The north winds keenly blow,
Clouds hide the sun; fields, plains, and hills
Are lost in driving snow.
The flowers are buried in the earth,
The singing birds have fled;
Gay summer tribes, like young hearts hopes.
Lie stiff, and stark, and dead

The white and spotless snow;
A cold mtenser than the frost
Has chilled her warm hearts glow
The song has frozen on her lips

FIRE IN WINcHENDoN.-In Winchendon,
Tuesday, Sept. 9th, the unoccupied Wooden
Mill owned by the Winchendon Manufacturing
Co., was totally destroyed by fire. By the
energetic efforts of the Fire department much
valuable property near by was saved. Two
machine shops occupied by Messrs. Goodspeed
Wyman escaped with slight damage. The
dye house and wood house were saved in a
damaged state. E. Murdoch, Jr., had 400
bushels corn, 100 bushels Rye and flour; Elisha
Murcock 100 bushels wheat consumed in the
building. The origin of the fire is unknown.
