"Here let me state that the stream we came
down SO far with our raft is called Fillman's
creek the large lake we sailed around iscalled
river, which flows into the Catineau. The
Catinaue joins the Ottawa opposite Ottawa
City. Mr.. Cameron assured US that these
streams are 80 tortuous, aud in many places so
rapid, that no set of men could get raft down
no matter how well they knew the country, nor
how much provisions they might have. He
regarded our deliverance as purely Providen-
taI. and many times remarked that We certain
" would have perishcd but for seeing this
smoke" ......
Under the guidance Of Mr.. CAMERON they
returned to the place where the balloon had
been left, but finding her very much torn,
concluded to abandon her. A party of
Indians then accompanied them out of the
wilderness, and on their return to the regions
of civilization they were treated with much
kindness.
Mr.. HAoCocK concludes his narrative as
follows
Several general conclusions and remarks
shall terminate this narrative, already too long.
why did you permit yourselves to 90 so far 2
will naturally be asked. To which we can
only reply that the wind was exceedingly light
when we assembled that we were very soon
among the clouds, and consequently unable to
take cognizance of our course, or to judge how
fast we were travelling. Perhaps it is well
here to remark that when you are sailing in a
balloon you are utterly unconscious of motion,
unless you can see the earth. Ncr can you
tell, by compass, in which direction you are
travelling unless you are sufficient of an astro-
nomer to Judge from the shifting angles form
ed by certain stars In word, if you cannot
see the earth, you cannot tell how fast nor in
which direction you move This will, perhaps
explain why we unconsciously drifted off to
lattudes so remote When we rose above the
thick masses of clouds, before sundown, we un-
doubtedy struck a rapid current which carried
us northeast. 1t is my opinion that, after We
had travelled in this current about an hour, we
struck another current, from variation of our
altitude, which bore US off to the northwest.
When we.d descended near the earth the first
time, we ought to have come down !; but we
were unwilling to land at night in deep wood,
even though we knew we were not far from
habitationS, and we thought it best to pick
out better place This was our error, and it
came very near being a fatal one to uS-it
certainly was so to the Atlantic. In trying
to find our botter place to land, we were un-
consciously up longer than we supposed, and
as we were travelling in a current which swept
US off to the northward at the rate of 100
miles an hour, we soon reached country not
pleasant nor profitable to land balloon in

Ray The Hon. DAVID c. BRoDERcK, United
States Senator from California, was killed,
Sept. IS, in duel with Judge TERRY, of the
Supreme Court Of California. The difficulty
originated in political quarrel. In June last
in a speech delivered at the Lecompton State
Convention, at Sacramento Judge TERRY spoke
Of Mr. BRoDERIcK in abusive terms, and Mr.
B. retorted with harsh epthets, uttered, not
in the pesencre of TERRY, but to bis friend lone
D. w. PERLEY. The latter challenged BRoD-
ERIcK, who refused to fight, but intimated his
willingness to meet Judge TERRY at the close
of the pending canvass. At the conclusion
of the late election Judge TERRY sent chal
lenge to Mr. BRoDERIcK. who accepted it. The
meeting took place near San Francisco on the
morning of the 18th of Sept and at the first
fire Mr.. B., fell, his antagonists ball having
pierced his lungs.

cess of ALEXANDER RAMSEY, the Republican
GubernatOra nominee and the election Of the

citemeut. Her people, while in a Territorial
condition, could not take part in our Presiden-
tial exctementS and are disposed to make up
for that by a breeze now. Quite number Of
her principal nominees and voters are old Penn

State, and accidentally was present at Ho.

ed child badly burned, bnt not fatally. She
had crawled out at the window, and vainly en-,
treated her companions to follow but frighten-
ed out of her reason, she took refuge under
the bed and perished. She was soon drawn
out with hooks, her head and limbs mostly con-
sumed.

been discovered. The ships Erebus and Ter
ron had been abandoned in the ice three days
