tWTHE PEOPLES Press is the title
Of a new paper just started in Columbus
by J. BARNEY MARSHALL, late editor of
the Capital City Tact. The name of
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS stands at its head
for President in 1860. Mr.. MARSHALL
is fine writer, and we cannot do other
wise than wish him success, but we have
misgivings as to the amount of good he
will do, in his present enterprise, either
for himself or the Democratic party.
FoRNEY, the mos. brilliant editor in the
Union, has made for his paper an immense
circulation, but there can only be one

one hundred and nineteen pounds.
"Olympus" is first rate horse, and a
victory over such an animal is no mean
triumph. On the same day his English
purchase, "Orianda." bowled over three
others for a small handicap, and was
beaten the following day by "Mimosa, u

The Battle of Now.

. The latest news from Europe tells us
that the first great battle of the campaign
was expected to be fought at Nevi. This
place is memorable in history from the
fact that, in 1899, the French, under Gen
eral j oubert. suffered terrible defeat
from the Russians and Austrians at that
place, who were commanded by the cele-
brated Marshal Suwarrow. The French
were completely routed, and GsneralJou-

Walking Horses.


We noticesin one Of our excha ngea an
inquiry as tothe reason Why agricultural
societies offer no premiums for walking
horses. Why is III Trottiag horses
and PAGERS are liberally provided for, Why
should good walkers be neglected? Ger
tainly they are at least equallyas valuable
for ordinary work, and fer travelling q
long distance over this hilly country, they
are much superior. A fast walker will trave
farther in q day and be less fatigued, gen.
ally, than either trotter or PAGER. Should
not our agricultural society consider this
subject?

Containing Two Men Descends to
the Lake!

As the Propeller Jefferson, Capt. S,
Bond, was passing Erie about O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, some five miles from
shore, large balloon was discovered
about three miles in the air above Erie,
travelling in north-easterly direction.-
Captain Bond was looking at it through
the glass, when he saw it rapidly de-
scend towards the Lake and in few mo-
ments strike the water. Two persons
were seen in the basket and one of them
waved white signal for relief. The
Captain ordered the course of the pro-
peller to be changed towards the sufferers
and when short distance from them q
small boat was lowered and manned and
sent to them. One Of them proved to be
Mr. --, the editor of the Erie Dis
patch. They were standing IN the bas-
ket, which was sunk in the water to their
middles, holding on to the netting over
their heads. The small boat was made
fast 10 the balloon, when a tug came out
from Erie and took them ashore.
Mr.. Kyle, the clerk of the propeller
Jefferson, aud to whom We are indebted
for these particulars. informs us that the
wind was ha uling the balloon through the
water at the rate of about five miles an
hour, and it required considerable exer-
tion for the small boat to overtake it,
The men in the balloon were quite jocu.
lar over the mishap, but as they shook
like the ague and were white as sheets
their mirth seemed to be of a rather
ghastly character. The propeller was
about seven miles from them when they
struck the water. The prompt action o.
Capt. Bond, Mr.. Kyle and others or
board the propeller, saved the lives of the
unfortunate @ronauts beyond doubt.
The manager of the balloon was tht
editor of the Dispatch, who has been OF
several aerial excursions before The as
cension was made in the presence of (
large concourse of people yesterday af

, The deluded gold seekers in the Pixies
Peak region are returning home by thou-
sands, in starving condition. 80 They re-
port that there is but little gold there
and that man can scarcely dig enough
to keep him from starvation. A tele-
graphic despatch from st. Louis, dated
the 18th inst says that the st. Joseph's
correspondent of the Democrat notices the
arrival at that place Of 100 returned
Pixies Peakers, who bring deplorable ac-
counts of the mining prospects, aud the
sufferihgs'o on the plains. 1t is estimated
that 10000 men are now on their way
back, all of whom are destitute of money,
the necessaries of life, and perfectly, reck-
less. Desperate threats are made of burn
ing Omaha, st. Joseph, Leavenworth and
other towns in consequence of the decep-
tion used to induce emigration. 1000
men are now reported fifty miles west Of
Omaha in q Starving condition. Some
residents of Piattsmouth closed their bus

Why the Amendment to the Massa-
chusetts Constitution was Made.

Our readers are aware that the Repub-
lican party Of Massachusetts has made an
amendment to the State Constitution,
which requires foreigners to wait two
years after naturalization before they arc
allowed to vote. Why they did it is
thus explained by Colonel Schouler. in
the Boston 4tlas of May 4. He was
answering some objections to the
law:
"The other point is, that if we accept
their amendment, we can not gain so
many Irish and German Democrats, now
IN the Democratic party, to our ranks in
1860. Now, as to that, we have only to
say that, firstly: NOTHING CAN BE
MADE OUT OF THAT CLASS OF
FOREIGNERS whom General Wilson
seems so anxious to propitiate; and, sec
oudly, we should RATHER NOT
HAVE THEIR AID. than be compell-
ed to buy it by any indscretion or yield
ing of any principle or just meas
ure."
Colonel Schouler was, until very recent
ly, the editor of Governor Chase's Co.
lumbus organ, and he and the Governor
entertain, no doubt, the same sentiments
in relation to foreign born citizens. As
"nothing could be made" out of that class
of foreigners that is, those who vote the
Democratic ticket-the best thing that
could be done was to prescribe them
