DISTINGUISHED ARRIVAL.

The train on the Greenville Railroad yesterday
brought down Prot. L. S. Lowe, the celebrated
seronaut, with lis balloon He attracted much at
tention, and his account of his rapid trip from
Cincinnati was scarcely believed, until he showed
papers from that city of the 10th inst
We had the pleasure of long conversation with
Prof L., whom we found to be highly intclli-
gent gentleman, and very pleasant companion
From him we obtained many items of interest con-
corning his voyage, which we would be glad to
publish at length, but the crowded state of our
columns prevents. He left Cincinnati Satur-
day morning, at o'clock, passed up the valley OF
the Ohio river to Virginia, with the Intention OF
landing near Petersburg, but after crossing the
Aleghanes current bore him South between this
range and the Blue Ridge. A little before
o CLOCK, he came down near the line between North
and South Carolina but finding himself at too
great a distance from any railroad he assembled
again and next came down at Pea Ridge, In Union
District, at O'Clock p. NJ, having thus travelled,
by the course he pursued about l, 200 miles in
nine hours This, we think, is the fastest time
yet made
From Pea Rid @e, Prof Lowe was conveyed to
UnionVle, where he remained until yesterday
morning when he came down to this city, with
the intention Of going on Immediately to Washing
ton, but on learning that there was doubt of get
ting 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 II feet, is IA
yards in circumference, So feet from top to valve,
and will hold 10 ,OG0 feet Of gas.
The result of this experimental trip goes to con-
firm the belief of Prof L., in the entire practical
bty 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.
Prof. Lowe kept journal OF incidents during
his entire trip, and has promised detailed ac-
count Of the practicable after his
arrival at Louisville, which we will be Of
much interest to our readers.-C oiuo,Jia Caro-

INFLUENCE OF TRIES UPON CLIMATE.-.Jochn
Frederic Sahouw, Professor Of Botany at Cophen-
hagen speaks as follows of the influence Of forests
upon the atmosphere:
I'VE find the most evident signs Of it in tue
torrid zone. he forests increase the rain and
moisture, and produces springs and running
streams. Tracts destitute of woods become very
strongly heated, the air above them asscends per
pcndcularly, and thus prevents the clouds from
sinking, and the constant winds Grade winds or
monsoons,) where they can blow uninterruptedly
over large Surfaces do allow the transition o!
-vapors into the form of drops In the forests, Oh
the contrary, the clothed soil does not become
SO heated, and, besides the evaporation from the
trees tavors coolng therefore, when the currents
of air loaded with vapors reach the forests, they
meet with what condenSes them and change into
rain. Since, moreover, evaporation of the earth
goes on more slowly beneath the trees, and since
these also eyaporate very copiouSly in hot eli
mate, the atmosphere in those forests has high
degree of humidity, this great degree of humidity
at the same time producing many springs and
streams"

THE SEAT OF CONFERENCE.-The High Point
Reporter favors the idea of removing the capital
from Raleigh to that place. After enumerating
the many advantages possessed by the tom" of
High Point, the Reporter states that "there is a
whiskey shop on each side of town at no great
distance off," In consequence of High Point
being the highest point of land on the N. G. Rail
road, the Reporter thinks that those who usually
congregate about the State capital would thus be
raised nearer Heaven than it is likely they will
ever otherwise attain. "The only objection (says
the Reporter) we should have to the seat of gov
ernment being removed to this place is, the bad
effect it would have the morals Of the neighbor

HOOK AND LADDER COMPANY.

A meeting of the Charlotte Hook and Ladder
Company made the following recommendations:
Keep matches in metal boxes and out of tho
reach of children.
Wax matches particularly dangerous anc
should be kept out CT the way Of rats and mice
Fill fluid or camphene lamps only by daylight
and never near fire or light.
Do not deposit coal or wooden ashes in wooder
vessels, and be sure that burning cinders ex
tinguished before deposited.
Never place light or asbes under staircase
Never take light to examine gas metre.
BE careful never to place lights curtains.
Never take light into,a closet, particularly
where clothes are.
Do not read in bed by candle or lamp light:
Place glass shades over gas lights in show win
dows and do not crowd goods them.
No smoking should be permitted in warehouses
where goods packed or cotton stored.
Where furnaces used the Principal Register
should always be fastened open.
Stove-pipcs should be at least four inches from
wood work and guarded by tin.
DIRECTIONS RESPECTING TIE MANAGEMENT OF
FIRES I, THEIR EARLY STATE.
On the first discovery of fire requiring the
services Of frcmen, all DOORS windows or other
openings to the building should be kept closed
until the engines arrive. THIS ShouH Lc nUari-
bic done.
The most effectual preventative of incendiary
fires is c0ut'0"sHc&S IN securing property from
depreciation. The iuccndiary, unlike the burg
lar, does not break locks, bolts and bars wherever
access can be obtained without difficulty, it is
there he applies his torch.
DIRECTIONS FOR AIDING TO ESCAPE FROM PREM
on FIRE.
!. BE careful to acquant yourself, if possible,
with the best means of exit from the house.
= On the first alarm, reflect before you act If
undrcssed at the time, wrap yourself in blanket
or piece Of carpet; open more doors or windows
than absolutely necessary, and shut every door
after you.
3. There are always from ten to twelve inches
of pure air close to the ground; if you cannot,
therefore, walk upright through the smoke drop
wet silk handkerchief, piece Of flannel woosted
stocking drawn over the face permits breathing
and to IA great extent excludes the smoke.
4. If assistanc is not at hand and you in
tremty, tie the sheets together, and having fastened
one to some heavy piece of furniture, let down the
women and children, if any be i'll the house, one
by one, through the window and then follow
yourself, by sliding down the sheet ropes.
). If in public place of assembly, which is
fire, do not get excited, and do all ill your power
to prevent panic. All should bear in mind that
there is time to escape if there is panic.
6. If womans clothes should catch fire,
let her instantly roll herself over and over on the
ground, and if rug or other wooden thing be at
hand, wrap herself in it, request bystanGcr to
help her. In all cases, drop the ground or floor,
and rut your hand over your mouth; death will
invaribly result from nhaling the smoke or flames.
BY order Of the Company.
