That Remarkable Balloon Voyage.s
Prof. loves fight to tho clouds, al
ready noticed, is thus described by
the Columbia 6. g. Carolinian: J
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 near
Petersburg, but efter crossing the Alle-
ghanies, current bore him south be-
tween this range and the Blue Ridge.
A little before :! o'clock, he came down
near the line between North and Sonth
Carolina. but finding himself at foo
great distance from any railroad, he
assembled, and next came down at Pea
Ridge, in Union district, at | 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 Unionville, where he
manned until yesterday morning; when
he came to this city with the intention
of going on Immediately to Washing
ton, but on learning that there was
doubt of getting through. he changed
his route, and will leave this morning
for Louisville, Ky, where he has To-
Gated his residence, via Augusta and
Nashville.
The balloon has diameter of forty
three feet, is forty four yards in cir
cumference, fifty five feet from top to
valve, and will hold 10000 feet of
gas.
The result of this experimental trip
goes to confirm the belief of Prof. /.
in the entire practitability of carrying
out his great enterprise, to which he
has devoted so much time and money
that of crossing the Atlantic in a
balloon. This he will probably attempt
during becoming summer.

Spontaneous Uprising Of Tirginia.-
The Richmond papers say volunteers
continue to arrive in that city by every
train, and from all parts of the State.
So prompt and UNIVERSAL, indeed, has
been the response to the call, that they
have anticipated the accommodations
in preparation for them, and the Cover
nor has, in consequence, been compell-
ed to issue his proclamation requesting
that the various companies remain at
home, till individually ordered on.
The Alexandria Gazette also says
that troops are pouring in there from
the neighboring counties in such num-
bers that were they not amply provided
with camp equipages, they could
scarcely be accommodated. Alexan-
dria and the vicinity have alre ndy
assumed the appearance of one great
camp.
The country Of Amherst, with vot-
ing population of only 1900, has raised
1000 volunteers, Lynchburg has 800
men on duty, with several hundred in
reserve. In old Hanover, the land of

present time in every act and deed of
the Lincoln Cabinet, that these men
the terror of the peaceful, the moral
and the Industrious members of socie-
ty-have attained their object. They
formed an alliance for the. purpose of
controlling it, and they succeeded.
Power was gained by the combined
party, and they after a brief struggle,
triumphantly seized the reins. No one
can donbt, in view of events that are
daily occurring, that the men we have
alluded to-the most radical of the
Northern population-nowm mould, con-
troll and direct the action of the Cabi-
nent at Washington. More than this,
they have inaugurated reign of ter
ror throughout the North, and before
its absolute decrees. all men, high and
low, rich and poor, are forced to bend
the knee. No one has strength to
Withstand them.
We heard but recently of an united
North to defend and preserve the
Union-now we dear of an united
North to subjugate the South. The
change is rapid. 1t shows the increas-
ing strength of those whose permanent
success would be destructive oflibertv.
These are the enemies the South has to
combat. A Southern victory at
Washington would not only strike ter
ror into their ranks, but go far towards
releasing the good and estimable peo-
pie of the North from a thraldom which
has become as terrible as it is degrad-
ing. We hope to have the pleasure
ere many days, of chronicling the
glorious achievement.

Police Jury. +zOn Monday next,
9th inst, the Police Jury of this Parish,
Left Bank, will hold q regular session
at their Hall in this city, at the usual
hour. From the increased volume of
water now flowing past us in the river,
and the strong probability of a greater
rise, our Jury may deem some special
police measures on their part, necessary
for the better security of the Levees
and the protection and safety of our
citizens against an outbreak, or an
overflow by the Father Of Waters.
We are of opinion that a more strict
police, with regard to the above subject,
should be Immediately established
one which might materially serve
other objects just of this time.

Tie Cost. of Wdr-A Starting Pile
of Dottars.-A New York contemporary
figures up as follows what war of a
years duration will cost. The total
money actually expended, to say moth
ing of the loss of life, stagnation of
business, etc, is startling enough but
from the spirit manifested by the
Southern and Border States, the bill.
be it what it may, will be easily and
willingly footed:
As we will probably have 100000 men
under arms before month, their burden
on our people, in a pecuniary sense,
must be interesting and instructive.
A soldiers daily provision costs over
twenty cents, when of the rough sort;
his clothing, ambulance necessaries and
other requirements, over one dollar.
In movable state, then, every man
in the county, bearing musket, costs
us two dollars per day.
Two dollars per day for one man is
100000 per day for 100000 men;
100000 per day is 81, 100000 per
week;
$1,4O0,0OO per week is more than
$5,6O0,O00 per month;
, Or 81 100000 for two months
Or S22, 100000 for four months;
Or 1913, 100000 for six months
Or S67 100000 for one year.
- This for the Army alone.
No ships-no sailors-no marines.
But it will cost twice this. For the
mere support and travelling expenses
only are counted. No figures for
recruiting, for generals, officers, quar-
ters, government.
No figures for replacing dead men
with live ones.
No figures for burying the killed.
The cost will be over $3,0OO,000 per
week. Ten days war capital would
buy Cuba. Buchanan was. mad for
asking $3O,O0O,O00 to add a great
State to the country.

A REPUBLICAN YEw OF JEFFERs0N DGvIs.-The
Boston Advertiser, able Republican journal says
that if it had no other evidence the inaugural adj
dress of the new President of the sCOnfederate
States" is proof Of the unusual wisdom with which
the SecessiOnsts acted when they elected JEFFERSON
DAVIS to that Office. 1t credits him with as marked
combination of the qualities most needed for his
work as any revolutionary leader exhibited, and
adds:
As the leader of the Cotton States in their move
ment against the General Government whether the
controversy is to be carried cn by civil measures
only, or by sterner methods, to which be processes
himself prepared, though unwilling to resort. this
Government could have more dangerous enemy
than Mr.. Davis, and this fact, believe. needs 20
be more widely recognized than it is among our
people. Because Mr.. Davis has led the extreme
South, many have come to regard him as possessing
the personal qualities and weaknesses of the fire
eaters" But Mr.. Davis is, on the contrary, cool
headed, far-sighted, and not hasty. What he says
does is not the result Of crazy impulse, bus Of
cool determination, and is supported notify the tenn
porsry strength Of frenzy but by real intellectual
and moral power. In short, he is an antagonist who
challenges respect as well the utmost yigor and
caution in opposition, and one whom any statesman
might rejoice to encounter in high national con-
test, were he of any country save own, and
were the matter in debate anything except the
Union.
