Troy, n. Y, October ga dispatch was received
in this city this evening from Professor La Noun
tain, dated Ottawa, C. W. October 3. 1t was as fol-
lows:
Lost all Landed 500 miles north of Water
town, in the Canada wilderness. We were four days
without food Brought out by Indian guides in ca
noes, &c. Please inform my wife.
(signedD "JoHS La MOUNTAIN"
0rTAwA, c. w., October 3.-Prof La Mountain
and Mr.. Haddoek came into Ottawa to-day, having
landed $50 miles north of Ottawa in the great Cana
They were brought out by Indian guides in bark
canoes.
They travelled in their balloon 800 miles, and were
up in the air only from four to five hours.
For over four days they have been in the wilder
ness without food, and with means of striking
fire.
They were rescued most providensially by Mr..
Cameron, who was hunting timber with Indian
guides
The New York Tribune says:
The place is about three hundred miles north of
WatertOwn, so that they must have had a northerly
current This disproyes the story of the balloon
having been seen fifty miles southeast of atertown
over st. Lawrence county, unless the current sud
denly changed. La Mountain telegraPhs that he has
lost everything. They were four days without food
and without the means of making FIRE. They were
fortunately discovered by Mr.. Cameron, who was
ooking for timber. probably along the headwaters
of the (IatineaR river. Indian guides were found,
who brought them down toottawa in bark canoes
They were less than five hours in the air, and must
have landed about ten O'Clock at night having trav-
eled at the rate of mile minute, the balloon be-
ing from four to five miles from the earth. This
extraordinary voyage due north strikes hard blow
at the favOrite theory of steady easerly current
in the upper strata Of the atmosphere. Ten hours
further travel in their direction would have brought
them to the point where Sir John Franklin is sup
posed to have persisted

KOssUTHs PLASs.-A correspondent of the London
Star, writing from Paris, says:
Kossuth was is Paris September u, and all the
journalists of every color and degree paid him
visit in the hope Of learning what his Intentions
aims and views really are. 1t can not as yet be
known whether these are in favor Of immediate ac-
ton or whether he to replace the sudden and
decisive movements which characterized his mode
of warfare before it submitted to the rules laid
down by Louis Napoleon. whether he means to
wait and see if the Emperor of Austria will relent
and so by degrees yield the freedom which, accord
ing TO Austrian rule it would not be prudent TO
grant all at once The account to be given by Kos
suth Of the principle upon which he has been act
ing has been waited for with the greatest patience
and it has been agreed that no judgement is to be
formed of the conduct pursued by Kossuth, as it
appears upon the surface; and that all verdict is

it with his own appreciation to the fat Of their
opinion.

A CoNTRAsT.-It is stated that the number of slaves
in the South connected with churehes'is four hun
bred and sixty eight thousand or about oneseventh
of the slave population The Boston Post says:
.hen it is considered that the ancestors of these
slaves were so recently most degraded heathens in
wilds of Africa these figures appear very remark
bIe especially when the results of all foreign mis-
ionary efforts the native heather church member
ship in 1855 was only one hundred and eighty thous-
and"
This exhibits the difference between the efforts to
christianze the African in contact with superior
race, and in the condition of his native barbarsm.
The result is surprising and at the same time con-
stitutes an overwhelming argument in favor OF the
christianizing influences of slavery, when we con-
slider that the result of missionary effort and the
advancement of the negro in christianity IN the
Southern States has been incidental principally to
his contact with, and influence of the white race

Valley and Towsontown Turnpike Road. This
road runs from Towsontown to the bridge over the
the Great Gunpowder at Meredith's Ford-pass-
ing nearly three-fourths of its whole length
through Hampton, the splendid estate of JOHN
RIDGELY, Esq. 1t has been built entirely by the
means and energy of the farmers residing along
the route and beyond its present terminus, in Du-
lany's Valley Superseding the worst piece of
country road known to civilization, it opens an
easy and pleasant access to one of the love
Hest and most fertile hooks in Maryland
When this valley comes to be seen and known, as
it now will be-when the enthusiasm of tourists
will no more be checked by the prospect of sore
bones and broken carriages-men will wonder
that so charming landscape should have so long
lain concealed, almost at our very DOORS In fact,
Baltimore County, throughout is replete with natu-
raj beauty-no where such picturesque hills, such
smiling valleys, such cool springs, such gushing
trout streams. There are large wealth. good
morals kind hospitality, much shrewdness in
gathering gear, and much care in preserving it.
And yet good friends of Baltimore County, you are
blessed-we suppose we must say so since you ad-
here to them as the wise adhere to blessings and
benefts-with the worst roads in the world fla
prophet were to preach to you to mend your ways,
you would stone him and not them. Wherefore let
us beseech you to lay this matter to heart, and Sc
riously reflect how much it costs you to retain
your dear old nuisances The men of Dulany's
Valley have set you good example, and, our
word for it, you can do such violence to your
feelings, as to improve your roads, you will find
that it will pay.

France in pumoting certain reforms in the Papal
States, but also of declining to entertain PROPOSE
ton looking To the mutual abandonment of their
armed occupancy of those territories. That this
speech in its more menacing aspect, as originally
reported, should have had depressing effect upon
the French and English funds was nothing more
than might have been expected. Coming from
sovereign who is usually chary of his words, the
time chosen, and the circumstances under which
the remarks were made, were well calculated to
give them more than usual significance. That
they have increased the popular agitation in ITALY,
cannot be doubted but that they foreshadow the
armed interposition of France in the event of a
war in Austrian Italy, is not at all so clear. The
very sensitiveness evinced by the Paris Bourse
when the speech of the Emperor was published
shows how much averse the people of France
are to have their career of material prosper-
ty interrupted by declaration of war, the tenden-
cy ofwhich woudb be to let loose the Oppressed ma
'honalities, and to convulse the whole of Europe
In the Italian struggle, if the issue should be
made, the moral support of France is all that is
needed. If the revolutionists, backed by Sardi-
mia, should shrink from doing battle with Aus
trial. single-handed, they do not deserve the free
dom to which they aspire. France certainly can
not hope to gain anything from reconstruction
of Italy, and her commercial interests forbid her
from taking up arms, unless impelled thereto
by the pressure of circumstances which do not at
present exist
