S- We commend the following to the
NJ kinney Nc ssengcr. Mount Pleasant
Union, and the miserable squad of sub
missionists, who 30 deeply deplore tho
secession Ct Texas from the Addition
government.
The idea that there is any considerable
number of persons in Texas, at this time,
disposed to agitatc the question Of re.
nnion with the States Of the North il,
We think, entirely erroneous That there
may be such persons in the .northern
counties, or scattered elsewhere in the
State, is probable but they certainly do
not constitute party, and, so far ss we
can see, make no declaration Of .
design to agitate iI favor Of such policy.
For ourselves, We made no professions
in favor Of secession. We dreaded the
crisis but it is now over, or 50 near
over that it is much easier and better to
go on than to attemp. to recedc. We
opposed the original annexation Of
Texas 70 the United States, and should
oppose remuneration now or reaftcr, II
proposed We like peaceful and stable
government and think :hc seeded
States have fewer elements OF domestic
and political differences than could ever
exist under the old Union, with its con-
,!ic,ing elements. We have never had
any faith in the various plans for rcmod.
cling the Federal Constitution for the
proiessed purpose of securing the rights
Of the South. The constitution and laws
are good enough already, if the people
and authorities Of the Northern States
would only observe them 1t IN in the
people, and not the laws that the fault
lies.
Thus far, the experiment Of huildi ag
up new government in the South has
sneccedcd IA well ~ it's friends had any
righ, TO expect That there have been
irregularities and errors, even the most
sanguinc friends Of the measure will
scarcely deny We can only regard the
movement as partaking of the essentials
Of revolution ; but certainly history
furnishes no account Of another rcvolu
iion in which iudividna! rights and pull
lie interests have suffered SO little. The
new government Is not yet fairly estab'
lisIcd. and much remains 10 be done
yet much has already been ,nec'cd for
The preservation Of order. The contnu
ancc of law, and the protection of pri
yatc rights, which are matters Of as much
Importance as defence liom foes without
NJ, ono ihoasaadth part OF the troubles
have been experienced. which attended
the colonies ia their progress thus far

needed, we think, is union among our
selves to secure which only little pa

THE PEaILs OF WAR BALLooxs.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the Philadsl phia Press
sayE fa
Kise's balloon went up this morning early.
aud when between Fort Corcoran and Balls
Cross Roads il was seen to collapse suddenly
and fall with rapidity. The general impres-
sion is that ii was fired into. Your reporter
was at Fort Corcoran at the time, and VIII
messed the swift descent Of the balloon. It was
200 far of to ascertain how many were in the
car. but il is feared that their escape from a
sudden ard terrible death was impossible
The balloon was up yesterday, and could be
seen from the city sailing over Virginia. II
rested during the nj ght, and went up again
this morning, and Was but short time in the
air before il collapsed, leaving only small
section of the top filled with gas

can be 50 suspended as to point upward, or In
any direction required. The rifed cannon of
the Second Rhode Island throw shot four miles,
and to be Of any service q balloon cannot be
one-hslf OF that distance FROM the spot to be
examined. Even at an elevation Of mile,
no balloOnist could have discovered the bate
ries at Bull Run; but not discovering them,
he might report that no such defenses existed
there. The balloon may, however, be used
with great advantage in noting the advance Of
troops on the main road, and in watching the
general movements Of an army during an
engagement.

TIE DEBAsED DOUBLE EAGLE GOLD PIECE
The New York Journal of Commerce of Mon
day says:
We have been shown some very handsome
specimens Of the filled $40 gold pieces now in
circulation The work is done precisely as was
formerly described in the $40 pieces. The
sides Of the coin containing the impression left
In slabs (the center being taken out by sssiDg
or turning in lathe) and these two sides are
then soldered to q planchet Of platina, the
edge being also covered with gold and remiled.
Pistina Is the only base metal which will keep
mp the weight without increasing the size
The coin as finished is worth only about 81 :;
thus losing tWo-thirds of its value. They can
be desected in some cases by careful exami-
nation of the edge, where two faint lines some
times show that the coin is composed of three
pieces, None but a skilled expert can be sure
OF making this discovery. Mr.. John A. Cisco,
Who first detected this cheat, is a son of the As.
sistant Treasurer. Although quite young
man, he has shown rare tact and skill in this
work, and bids fair to rival Mr. Birdsall, who
has hitherto had no superior in that line, in
this or any other country.

FEMININE REvENGE.-The ire Of a fair
daughter Of Amsterdam-Madame Van S.
was caused by the misohsnoe of Mynheer D., a
jealous member Of one Of the volunteer rife
corps Of that fat but handsome city, who, when
practising at target, unluckily shot the cat of
Madame Van s. Though full of rage and grief
at the loss Of her favori'e, and bent upon re-
venge, the lady was kious not to say any
thing that could implicate her husband in the
affair, dreading lest a duel between the two
gentlemen might be the result, and according
ly determined TO avenge upon Madame d. the
tragic death Of the unfortunate animal. She
therefore sent private orders 10 her husband s
forenan-Mynheer Van S. is one of the most
extensive shipowners of the city-desiriug him
to haI e the holds of their ships searched for
rats, and TO send her fifty of the finest speei-
mems of those creatures that be could succeed
in causing to be taken alive.
The order was promptly executed, and the
rats, safely shut up in a large chest, were de-
spatehed by the bereaved Vrau to the country
house whittier the D-s had betaken them
selves for the summer. The chest reached its
destination in safety, arriving just as the own
ers Of the place were enjoying the beauty of a
lonely summer evening. Madame D., who
was expecting box of dresses from town, and
supposing the chest to contain the looked for
fnery, caused it to be brought into the eining-
room and opened under her own eyes. Her
" feelings" when the lid was raised and the
avenging army leaped forth from its am
bush. may be imagined Nailed to the under
side of the lid was letter addressed to the
dismayed and astonished lady, and contained
these words:
Madame: Your husband has killed my cat
have the honor to send you my rats
