The LAST TRIAL.-The forthcoming experiment
In balloonng is likely to be final one. Professor
Lowe Is determined to start through the air for Eu
rope, and there are not lacking those to furnish
him with the means for his experiment. Weun-
derstand that this is to be the last trial and that
hit now fails, the Professor must look for other
hackers in any future experiment. From the char
acter OF the present preparations if Professor Lowe
does not now succeed he never can. Another bal
loon is being made, and with advantages of con-
structon that must result in success if success is
possible. The cloth for the balloon is twed lean
made expressly for the pupose, and woven so closely
as to be almost air tight. It's being sewed to-
gether, and will be thickly covered with a compo-
sition that is vast Improvement over the varnish
used upon the former balloon. Professor Lowe will
start upon his voyage as soon as the balloon is CON-
peted and before stress of weather the action of
the gas can take effect upon the fbres of the cloth
or diminish its strength. The balloon is little small
ler than the former one, but will be immeasurably
stronger We yesterday conversed with a gentle
man VINO has interested himself in the Professor,

your real character and responsibility This, if
no other difficulty existed, would seriously embar
rass me in making a favorable answer to your
proposition. Y GU should have at least given me
one respectable reference. The fact that YOU have
not done so, with other circumstances connected
with your letter, make it quite doubtful whether

You date from Auburn, and tell me to direct

you assign to me. You want SIS, 900 or S2O, ,OOO.-
This ls a common want, and you are not to blame

but there are certain little faults of grammar and
spelling, as well as other little points in your letter
which compel me to regard you as a person. by
education, manners and morals, as wholly unfit to
associate with my daughter in any capacity what
ever. You evidently think your white skin of
great value. don't dispute it; it is probably the
best thing about you. Yet not even that valuable
quality can commend you sufficiently to induce
even so black negro as myself to accept you as
his sonin-law. Respectfully,

WASHINGTON, Oct notwithstanding the ur-

sas land saes the Secretary of the Interior has not
regarded it as proper, under existing laws to sub
NIT recommendation to the President with that
view. As in the of those soon to be offered in
Minnesota, the relief suggested by the Secretary is
that, if the lands of preemptors shall not be sold
they will have the benefit of the twelve months
credit allowed by law for paying for lands which
thus become subject to private entry.
The President has made decision in the case of
Gen. Harney, which will be promulgated through

violated the orders Of Lieutenant General Scott,
he is, in consideration of his distinguished military
services merely slightly officially censured Gen.

ABOLITION REsoLUTIoNs.-At the meeting of the
Pennsylvania AntiSlavery Society, held at Centre,
on Friday last, the following resolutions presented
by Miss Mary Grow, were adopted:
Resolved, That we regard with great satisfa cton
the agitation that is now rocking the country to it's
centre on the question of slavery confident that its
effect will be such an enlightenment of the public
mind and change of public heart on that momentous
issue, as must eventuate in the overthrow of the
system.
Resolred, That in the action of the various eccle
siastcal bodies of the North, We see indubtabe
evidence of the power with which the anti-slavery
sentiment of the community presses upon them:
sometimes extOrting from them faint and unwilling
testimonies against slavery, and sometimes eliciting
hearty denunciation thereof; and that, in the
course OF such clergymen as DR.. Cheever, we see
indications OF regenerated and purified church,
against which anti-slavery societies can have no
controversy.
Resotved, That as long as the fugitive bondman
may be recaptured and re ensaved on Pennsylva-
mia soil, pennsylvania cannot be called afree State;
and thatfor the honor of our Commonwealth, for
the sake OF justice to the slave, for the love of the
absolute Right, we will earnestly strive to obtain
from our Legislature the enactment of law which
shall protect the personal liberty of every human
being on its soil, when that liberty has not been
forfeited by crime.
RESOLVED, That the experience of a quarter of a
century OF antislavery labor has confirmed our
talth In the principles ON which our enterprise is
founded, IN the wisdom of the measures by which
we have sought its accomplishment, and in the GER
tainty OF Its hnai triumph and that, thus confirm
ed and strengthened, we commence the labors of
another year IN aboundng hope that, at its close,
we snail rejoice In its success rejoice to-day,
