RAPID TRAvELNG-TwELvE Kindred MILES IN
NINE HoURs.-Prof. S. G. LOWE, the well known
sronaut, ascended at Cincinnati Ohio, on Saturday
morning last, at o'clock, and landed at o'clock,
P. NJ. the same day, in Union District S. c. he
arrived at Columbia on Monday. The CGroliRidn
says:
He left Cincinnati on Saturday morning. at 4
O'Clock passed up the valley of the Ohio river to
Virginia. with the intention Of landing Peters
burg, but after crossing the Aleghanies, current
bore him South between this range and the Blue
Ridge. little before O'Clock, he came down near
the line between North and South Carolina; but
finding himself at too great distance from any
railroad he ascended, and next came down at Pea
Ridge in Union District at l o'clock p NJ. having
thus Travelled, by the course he pursued, about
1900 miles in nine hours. This, we think, is the
fastest time yet made.
From Pea Ridge Prof. Lowe was conveyed to Union
ville where he remained until yesterday morning,
when he came down to this city. with the intenuon
of going on Immediately Washington but learn
ing that there was doubt of getting through. he
changed his route, and will leave this morning for
Louisville, KY. where he has located his residence,
via Augusta and Nashville.
The balloon has diameter OF 43 feet, is A yards
in circumference 55 feet from top to valve and will
hold 20, 900 feet of gas.
The result of this experimental trip goes to con-
firm the belief of Prof. L. in the entire practea-
bility Of carrying out his great enterprise, to which
he has devoted so much time and money, that OF
crossing the Atlantic in balloon. This he Will
probably attempt during the coming summer.

IMPORTANT FROM TIE SoUTH.-The
Richmond Examiner Of Friday contains
an elaborate lending article, insisting
that the South must raise five hundred
thousand men by CONSUMPTION, on the
plan of European States, if it would
fight the united North with fair pros
poct of success The article points out
the disadvantage of all the volunteer
and militia syatems, and emphatically
declares the North unitod more and
more thoroughly by every dcfoat and
sacrifice, and now has a regular army
of FIVE hundred thousand.
The Examiner publishes a telegram
from Savannah, stating that Fort Pu-
laski had opened fire on Tybee Island,
and driven the Fedcrals to another
point; and from Charleston, announc-
ing that the Northern troops have en-
tire possession Of St. Helena Island, had
landed at the mouth Of Ashpoor river,
on the northern side of st. Helena
Sound, and had attempted to land near
Bnckiugham, but were driven Of.

Fslloi0 citizens Of The Senate and House
Of Representatives.
In the midst Of unprecedented polit-
ical troubles, We have cause Of great
gratitude to God for unusual good health
and most abundant harvests.
RELATIONS WITH FoREI0N NATIONS.
You will not be surprised to learn
that in the peculiar ozigonoics Of the
times our intercourse with foreign na.
tions has been attended, with profound
soiicitudo, chiefly turning upon our own
domestic affairs.
A disloyal portion 0f tho American
people have, during the whole year,
been engaged in on attempt to divide
and destroy the Union. A nation which
enduros iactious domestic divisions is
exposed TO disrospect abroad, and one
party or both is sure, sooner or later, TO
invoke foreign Intervention.
Nations thus tempted 10 Interfere arc
not always able TO resist the counsols
Of seeming e1podienoy and ungenorous
ambition, although measures adopted
under such influences seldom fail to be
unfortunate and injurious to those
adopting them.
The disloyRl citizens Of the United
States, who have offered the ruin Of OUT
country in reward for tho aid and com.
fort which they have invoked abroad
have received less patronage and en-
couragement than they probably ez
peoted.
fit we're just to suppose, as the in
surgonts have seemed to assume, tha
foreign nations in this case, disregard
ing all moral, social and treaty obliga
tions, would act solely and selfshl,
for the most speedy restoration Of com
merce, including specially the acquisi
ton Of cotton, those nations appear no
yet to have seen their way TO their ob
joot more directly or clearly through
the destruction than through tho pre-
servation Of the Union
If We could dare to believe that for
eign nations are actuatod by no highe
principle than this, am quito sure
sound argument could be made TO sho,
them, that they could reach their air
more rapidly and easily by aiding {
crush this rebellion than by giving en-
couragement to the principal lever re
lied on by the exciting of foreign ma
tions to hostility against US, as alread
. intimated, in the embarrassment oI
= commerce.
Those nations, however, not improt
! ably, saw fiom the frst that it was tn
i, Union which made as we'll our fOroig
as our domestic commerce.
They can scarcely fail to perceiv
that the effort for disunion produce
the existing difficulty, aud that on
strong nation promises more durubl
peace, and q more extensive, valuable
and reliable commerce, than can tn
same nation broken into hostile fral
ments.
is not my purpose to review OF
10 discussions with foreign States, becaus
- whatever might be their wishes, or di,
G positions, the integrity of our Cover

n but upon the loyalty, patriotism, virtr
. and intelligence Of the American poopl
The correspondence itself, with Il
