Mr.. WrIght's Address.

We learn that the address on Education delivered on
the 1st instant by James A Wright, Esq, before the
Ellington Academy at Ellington, Nong Creek) in
this county, eloquent and instructive effort and
was listened to with marked satisfaction by large and
intelligent audience, embracing very many ladies.
Mr.. Wright spoke of the necessity Of education for
the Development of human intellect and usefuness-its
value adjunct religion and the highest moratyand
referred with pleasure to the progress of the educational
cause in North Carolina the growth of her Schools and
School Fund-the high position she occupied and
the still higher one she was yet bound to occupy.
The rewards of education were placed before ALL and
should dream that the possession or supposed
possession of genius could relieve them from the necess
ty of exeron to grasp these rewards or the supposed
want of genius debar them from aspiring to the highest
measure of success Mr.. W. quoted the language of
Sir Walter Scott and Baron Humboldt in support of
the ground he assumed and referred in glowing language
to the honor which Kings and Emperors felt themselves
honOred in paying to the memory of the great physical
philosopher, the illustrious author of L" Cosmos"
But the first and purest rudments of education must
be implanted by the mothers of the land-upon their
teachings developed subsequently in the Schools and
Academies and Colleges of the land, the welbeing of
the country and the perpetuty of republican institutions
must to great extent extent depend.

The Fourth at Stump Sound.
ONsLOW COUNTY. n. c.. Ju

ONsLow COUNTY, n. g., July 9Th, 1850
Messrs. Editors Presuming that some of your read
in this county at least would like to notice of
the doings Of the Fourth at Stump Sound have sent
you the following brief sketch.
Early in the morning the citizens aroused by the
firing of cannon and before eleven o'clock a large and
enthusiastic company had assembled at the place of Gel
ebraton.
At II o'clock, j. II. Foy, Esq, late Commoner from
Onsow and introduced to the audience Dr. Cader
G. Cox, who read the Mecklenburg Declaration, and
Mr.. W. T. Emmett, who read the National Declaration,
after which he introduced Dr. John Daniel Spcer the
Orator of the day. who delivered eloquent and patri-
otto address, which reflected high credit the young
speaker and elected warm applause from all present
Cannon were fired before and after the grafton.
Calls being made upon j. Ii. Foy ESQ, he responded
in few very happy remarks and closed by telling
anecdotes which set the house in uproar of laughter.
So passed the Fourth at Old Stump" without any
thing to interfere with the enjoyment of the day from
first to last. 1t is to be hoped that many more such
days in store for the good and true people of that
district which contains as gallant spirits, and firm
defenders of constitutional liberty as the Old North
State can boast of.

From the Albany Atlas
The Great Balloon EOyage-Landing of the Balloon
N

-
Mr.. Wise in Albany.
Mr.. John WISE the celebrated Eronaut arrived in
Albany at 81 O'Clock yesterday morning.
He reports that from st. Louis to Medina, Orleans
county, from which the last Geographic despatch con-
corning the Balloon was received the voyage was high
y successful the Balloon working to their entire salts
faction, and justfying the hopes with which they had
set out that they would be able to reach the seaboard
At this point, however they found that they were some
what out of their course being too far North and there
FORE determined to proceed to Boston or Portland.
Before taking that direction it was concluded to land
at Rochester, there drop Messrs. eager and HYDE and
then proceed On their journey eastward In carrying
out this intention they dropped down gradually and #
naIy struck hurricane perfectly rghtful in its force
which hurried them along at terrific speed towards Lake
Ontario They driven down to the very surface Of
the water, where the Balloon lightened in every
possible way, carried with fearful speed and violence to-
wards the shore and through piece of woods, into
which they finally managed to land This was in Hen
dersOn township, Jefferson county.
The four passengers, Messrs. Wise and LaMountain
Mr.. eager of Boston, and Hyde of the St. Louis Re
publican, unframed, beyond few scratches The
balloon is considerably damaged but not beyond repair
Messrs. Wise and eager came direct to Albany, yes
erday morning and from here the latter proceeded to
Troy and thence to Boston. Mr.. w left for New York
in the evening, on board the Knickerbocker. Mr. La
Mountain remained on the ground to take charge of the
balloon Mr.. Hyde proceeded back home to St. Louis
where he proposed to write detailed history of the
voyage.
The entire distance Travelled was eleven hundred and
fifty miles in nineteen hours and fifty minutes.
One of the marked incidents Of the voyage was an
oversight which came near proving disastrous to Mr.
Wise. He was in the wicker basket, and being over
come with fatigue laid down and fell asleep The rest
OF the party were in the boat below 1t being neces
sary to advise with him some point as to the course
of the Balloon, they called to Mr.. W. several times but
receiving no response Mr. eager went to him by climb
ing up the ropes and found him breathing spasmodcaly
from the effects of the escaping gas which was slow
sufocating him. He was Immediately aroused by Mr.
u, and soon recovered his senses.
The greatest attitude attained was two miles Mr.
Wise has entire confidence in the success of the under
taking, and expresses determination to make another
experimental voyage as the Balloon can be re
paired. He has no doubt but that voyage can bt
made by her to Europe in fourth the time that it il
now made by the steamers.
Mr. Wise was the Directing Chief Mr. La Noun
tain the 4Fronart, Mr.. eager the Navigator and Mr.
Hyde the Historian.

night the oath ut that terrible battle had been fought
and great victory achieved. The whole Austrian army
formed in line of battle extending five leagues The bat
tie lasted from four o'clock in the morning till eight o.
clock at night. The French took many flags, cannons
and prisoners.

battle was progressing, but gives no details.
previous account says that the Austrian force on
the Minco amounted two hundred and eighty thousand
men.
Prussia moving army towards the Rhine
Napoleon had demanded permission to march thirty
thousand troops through Hanover to the Rhine

will be unacceptable to France, thereby involving Prus
STA in the war.
1t was rumored that Prussia threatened to assist in
the suppression of the medtated instruction in Hunga
ny.

The London Times thinks that the new Administers
ton will be efficient than Lord Derby8 was.
We quote from its article the following review OF the
characters who compose it:
Lord Pamerston has had to 90 out of the old circle
and the hard beaten ground in which power has SO long
moved. He has had to negotiate at every step, and to
win allies when possibly he would have consulted his
own genial temper by choosing friends. He had to
make a treaty with Lord John Russell 1t is the law
of selEpreservation that compelled him to invite Mr.
Gladstone. Lord Campbell, it is avowed must be Lord
Chancellor because Sir r. Bethel Is required IN the
Commons. Sir G. Wood is an able and hard-workng
man. and his last administration OF the Indian Board
was the most successful episode of his career
Sir G. c. Lewis, if not persuasive, is quite able
to conduct our domestic legislation, and to keep the
country in its present peaceable state. The Duke OF
Somerset is said to be remarkable administrator and
for that reason is put in the Admiralty. Mr. s. Her
bert is Industrious and most agreeable speaker lie
is to be War Minister and most devoutly hope VIII
not have to do in his department than to carryn
to effect the sanitary reforms to which he has so long
devoted his attention The Duke of Newcastle is man
of high character and respectable ability he has already
had the Colonies and has done the work well. LOId
Granville, though not Premier, will be good Pres
dent Of the Privy Council any before him. Lord FL
gin is almost too great to put in the post office
The Duke of Argyll brings Dukedom, great pow
er of debate, and many friends Mr.. Golden, should
he accept the office marked for him, is the very
hero and liberator of trade Mr.. M. Gibson, who has
destroyed Sc many Ministries, will perhaps endeavOr to
maintain that with which he is himself connected Sir
G. Grey after many years service in the most aborouS
Offices contents himself with sinecure. We could have
wished more appropriate close to long official career
Would not pension have been preferable? Mr. Gard;
well shows his industry in taking Public Works and
has only to follow the example of Sir B. Hail. who we
told to be raised to the Peerage These make up
the Cabinet Sir A. Cockburn is to be Chief justice
of England Mr. r. Lowe, Vice President OF the CoGh
Gil. Lord Clarence Paget is to be Secretary to the
Admiralty, and Mr.. G. Fortescue, Lord Wodeho9s91
and Mr.. Massey, Under Secretaries to the Colonial
Foreign and Home Offices respectively.

THE STATES SUBSCRIPTION TO THE New BANK.-It
will be recoected that the charter of the Bank of North
Carolina required the State Treasurer to subscribe
$500 900 in stock for the Literary Fund and to pledge
if necessary the stock held by the State in the
Bank of the State of North Carolina to raise the spe-
Gle to make payments on the stock thus subscribed
The Treasurer recently visited the City of New York,
for the purpose of making loan on the basis of the
stock referred to and we are graed to learn that he
has made the most satisfactory and advantageous
engagements for raising the specie We understand that
he has contracted with Bank in that city for loan of
$250O00 in specie, at the rate of 12 per cent. The
legal rate of interest in New York is per cent This
business transaction speaks for itself tits credabe
the Treasurer and affords at the time another proof
if such proof necessary of the soundness of the old
State Bank and of the high character for promptitude
and integrity which North Carolina sustains in the
great commercial and financial centre of the Union
