In all of those places they met cordial well
come. After their return, they were pre-
sented with magnificent American flag by
the ladies of this place. The presentation
was made by Miss Louisa Murry in the fol-
lowing Words
"Srr: have the honor to present these
colors to the Downey Guards, in behalf of
the ladies of Roses Bar Township In de-
livering the ensign Of our nation TO you,
am happy in the confidence that | intrust it
to men whose hands are nerved by a gene

feel now more deeply than ever the honor of
our country's flag an honor held as sacred
and precious as our lives. Accept then, with
them our heart felt wish that your company
may prosper and become an honor alike to
yourself and country"
Capt Kergan made the following reply ::
"LADIEs From your fair hands, in behalf
of the Downey Guards / accept those colors
with feelings Of pride and pleasure. As your
gift we will honor and protect them, and if
duty to our country should call us from our
homes, we will bear them with us, and our
cherished hope will be to place them in honor
wherever danger is TO be met or honor won.
In such an hour we will turn our yes upon
them and seem to see your sparkling smiles
of beauty beaming from each lovely fold to
cheer us on. Such thoughts shall lend to
each soldiers heart new courage and new
hope, and thus inspired whilst we bear them
and life remains We will ever guard them
from any faint of dishonor or shame. With
this fixed purpose animating each OF our
hearts, we accept them from you, and for
them return you our sincere thanks"
After which, the Declaration of Independ
ence was read by John T Riorden, when the
company and guests sat down to a sumptuous
repast got up by the company, at which the
sparkling wine and patriotic toasts reigned
supreme until o'clock, when the doors of
the,spacious hall were thrown open to every
body to join in the mystic maze of the merry
dance, which was kept up until the wea
small hours of the morning, when, with three
cheers for the flag and Union, the company
retired well pleased with the days enter.

Balloon Observations.

The nrial telegraphic experiment is said to
be decided success Louis Napoleon used
balloon to reconnoiter the position Of the
enemy at Solferino Just before that famous
battle; but he had not the advantage of
magnetic telegraph arrangement to communi-
made The New York uerald's correspon-
dent, writing from Washington June Goth,
says:
To-day Professor Lowe ascended, from the
Armory lot The capacity OF the balloon was
20, 0Oo cubic feet 1t was provided with sig
nal flags and powerful telescope; but as the
ascent was made late in the afternoon, and
chiefly for the purpose Of testing the practi-
cability Of maintaining magnetic circuit and
operating in the balloon, no reconnoisance
was attempted. A circuit was established by
looping one of the adjacent telegraph wires
the one between Alexandria and the War
! Dedartment-with helix wires several hun
dred feet in length, wound upon a reel at the
spot from which the ascent was made. The
helix wires are very fine and flexible. They
communicated with delicate pocket Morse
apparatus carried by tie operator in The bal
loon The belixes were paid out from the
reel as rapidly as the ropes ATTACHED to the
balloon. An ascent of five or six hundred
feet was made, and the telegraphic arrange
ment worked charmingly. When at the ut
most elevation attained, dispatches were sent
to the President of the United States through
the War Department.
After demonstrating the success of the eX-
pertinent, Prot. Lowe was tugged through the
streets in his balloon, distance Of over half
mile, to the open lawn south of the White
House, when the balloon was safely anchored
for the night, with view to repeat the eX-
pertinent to-morrcw, in the presence of the
President and the Cabinet. With this tele-
graphic apparatus, and the means of making
an aerial reconnaissance, General may be-
accurately informed of everything that may
be going on within a long days march of his
position in any direction.
The following is the dispatch sent 10y Frof
Lowe to the President which at his aerial
hight:
BALLOON ENTERPRISE, June 18th.

its girdle of encampments, presents superb

station, and in acknowledging Indebtedness
to your encouragement for the opportunity
of demonstrating the availability of the sci

And finally, compare the prices OF mes
pork in the Northern and Southern States:

In many Ct The Southern States the pfice
of provisions is seen to be more than double
what it is at the great depots of the North ;
so that in all such States where the Confed-
crate Government has troops, they are costing
as much to feed as twice the number IN arms
are costing the North.

The GEoRGIANs AND Their GovERNoR-
The Savannah Republican, of late date,
says:
We hear that Governor Brown telegraphed
yesterday TO one of the military officers of

thorpe Light Infantry to carry their arms
to Virginia, but to take them in possession
and forward them Immediately to Milledge-
vile. Somehow, though, the Oglethorpes
left at the appointed time. and the arms and
accoutrements, all, went along with them.
We are rather inclined to the opinion that
the circumstance will agitote the bile of His
Excellency to soue considerable extent. Far
better thus, though, than that brave Geor
gians should be left to fight the battles of
their country without arms in their hands
