South America.

Political affairs in Chile are in about the
same state as when the last steamer left All
the south is held by the Government, and the
north held by the revolutionists. General
Vidaurri, with $500 men, has been sent to
take command in the north. The general
feeling is that the revolutionists will be easi-
ly overcome with the troops the government
have now in Coquimbo.
Guayaquil dates are to the 4th April. A
revolution broke out, headed by General
Maldonado, and an attempt was made to take
President Robles who at that time was in the
house of Gen. Urbina, but the officer who had
charge of the expedition was shot by Gen
Franco. The firing was incessant during the
night of the 4th. 1t is said that the Peruvians
have melted the revolutionists to overthrow
President Robles and Gen. Urbina, who are
personally obnoxious to the Peruvian Gov
ernment.

sewardI.m on the wanc.

The New York Herald says the Republican
State Convention of New York, which met
few days ago and nominated State ticket,
did not dare to mention the name OBJ w. II.
SEWARD. The wand OF the arch enchanter
had lost its power, and his friends found
themselves in such position that they were
necessarily dumb. 1t appears that the magic
of his name is also gone in New Jersey. A
correspondent of the Herald, writing from
Trenton, and giving an account of the Re
publican and American Conventions there,
makes the following remarks about the nom
inee for Governor, and the wane of Seward
ism
The nomination of Olden, looking at it in
a national point If view, is decided rebuke
to the republican doctrines as expounded by
Senator Seward. and settles the fact that the
orator of Rochester cannot count upon New
jersey as a supporter of his I" irrepressible
conflict doctrine. The only way that the
New York Senator can obtain any delegates
TO thu National Convention for him from this
Slate will he by holding midnight caucuscs
in barns, outhouses and other out of the way
places, where the rank and file of the Opposi-
lion camp will not know anything of their
proceedings Mr.. Olden being a politician
"a the Clay and Frlengbuysen school, and
being considered rs embody ing the true SEN
timents of the Opposition forces in New Jer-
sey, il can be readily seen that Seward has no
reason To look tor any favors from this State.
1t is TO be hoped that as Sewardism goes
down, conservatism will rise aud take its
place. ~ ~

Navigating the Air.

tSt.A NEW YORK. Sept. 10.
An aerial ship, called the City of New
York, intended for a transatlantic voyage,
has been inithe course of completion for some
months past in the vicinity of New York,
and is now so nearly completed that she will
be ready to undertake the trip in October
The aeronaut who has charge of the enter
prise is Mr.. Lowe, OF New Hampshire, who
has mad. several successful ascensious. The
dimensions of the ship are greater than those
of any balloon previously built. The capac-
ity of the gas receiver is 725.00O cubic feet !;
valve to the bottom of the boat is upwards
of 500 feet, the diameter $50 feet. Mr.. Lowe
proposes to go directly from New York to
London in from 4S to GA hours. Dropping
below the bas ket is a metallic life boat in
which is placed an Ericsson engine; its par
ticular purpose is the control of propeller
rugged out upon the principle of the screw,
by which it is proposed to obtain a regula-
ting power.
The application of the mechanical power
is singularly devised. The propeller is fixed
in the bow OF the life-boat, projecting at an
angle of about 45 degrees. From wheel at
the extremity twenty fans radIate, each of
which is five feet in length, widening gradu-
ally the point of contact with the screw to
the extremity. where the width of each is a
foot and a half Mr.. Lowe claims that by
the application of these mechanical contri-
vancet his air ship can be readily raised OF
lowered 10 seek different currents of air, that
they will give him ample Storage way, and
that they will prevent the rotary motion of
the machine.

beheld TO greater advantage than on this oc

OF rich lace, through which her soft complex
ion was softened even more, she appeared the
most perfect realization of imperial grace and
dignity which has ever been beheld. The
taste displayed by her costume was also a
matter OF admiration. No fantastical bonnet

thrown over her head, and the forehead en-
circled with the imperial diadem-the great

Leeturfng a. a Profession.

The N. Y. Tribune publishes list of one
hundred and ninety-four gentlemen and eight
ladies, as ready for engagements as public
lecturers during the present season. OF the
whole number New York furnishes l0l. Mas
sachusetts "a. Connecticut 10, Pennsylvania
8, Ohio 5, New Hampshire 8, Vermont 3,
Maine 2, New Jersey 2, Illinois 2, Rhode
Island l. Iowa 1. Maryland L. Missouri l,
Virginia L. The Tribune has. for two or three
years, made similar publications gratuiious-
ly; but thinks that Lccturing may now be
considered an established Profession, and
will not, therefore, introduce Lecturers TO
the public through its columns hereafter, ex-
cept upon its regular advertising terms. The
Tribune also remarks That they are well paid,
the cleverest and most popular OF them
will earn from $4,000 to $4,000 in season.
When We consider the fact that large
proportion of these Lecturers are of the fa-
natical school. in both religion and politics,
we take pleasure in noting the fact that
the Southern or slave-holding States
only furnish three of the whole num-
Der. Spritualism, abolitionism, infdel-
ity, and woman's rights, have each their
special advocates and champions in the list,
all Of whom are ready and anxious to r,ceive
a "call.'' from Village, Lyceum, Society, OF
Association, far or near, whereby they will
be able to air their opinions and sun their
rhetoric, and at the same time replenish
their exchequers by an inflow of quarters"
In the infancy Of the " Profession" the uni
versal price of admission TO these entertain
ments. as far as we learn, is the same, on all
occasions and for all themes-a quarter of
dollar pays all the supposed damages to the
physical constitution and the wear and tear
of the intellectual. There is no difference
nude between the Rev. HENRY WARD BEECH
Err, PARKER PILIsBURY. Lucy STONE and the
distinguished Mr.. TooT-A-TooT. Their efforts
are worth precisely the same to the auditor.
When, however, the :. Profession " advances
in age. and the elements of which it is CON-
posed are more clearly classified and distinct
ly marked, we shall look for amendment in
this particular. In the course of few years
it may be expected to have lectures on any
conceivable subject: to order, Mt from two
cents up to one dollar. For example. ten
years hence, no one in his or her right mind
would think Of paying more than a couple of
coppers to hear Miss ANToINETTE BRowN-
while there would be many who would freely
"sheIl out - dollar to hear one of her
plump and rosy sisters, who is likely to come
to the rostrum at that time.
Upon the whole, henceiorth, there will be
no dearth of Lecturers and Lectures at the !
North. There is ample and Increasing
supply. to keep the popular mind from stagna-
ton.
