The MYSTERY ExPLAINED.-Upon what
slight things hangs the destinies Of nations
Some score of years ago, a young Yankee
schoolmaster came south and spent year in
one of the country cities in'Middle Georgia.
The consequence of that visit was a mulatto
child-its father senator Seward, now secre-
tary of state! The way this became known,
the secretary himself told it to a DIR. R,
of Georgia, last summer, stating that he re-
GREETED the embargo on correspondence, as it
prevented his hearing from his daughter and
sending her money, which he had done every
year for years He went on to speak in such
a way as to convey the idea that he turned
abolitonist and brought on the war in order to
liberate his beloved daughter from the thral-
dom Of slavery! Well did Paulding say that
he was n yenomous reptile burrowing in the
mud, whose poison and power was unknown
till he struck Ought not this thing to be
sifted out! columbus Ga. Enquirer.

Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press
BEFORE RICHMOND, June 2l.-Col. loves
balloon was stationed Friday near Gaines
Mills, on the right center of the Union line,
and within four miles of Richmond. 1t was in
the air all day, and in the few hours it as
cended some thirty or forty army officers OBJ
served the position of the enemy's troops from
the elevated point of view it afforded. The
balloon is held to the ground by a strong cord
thousand feet in length, and of course as
cends to that distance above the earth. A
pulley and tackle arrangement, worked by
men below, is the power used to pull it down,
and, being strongly fastened to the earth, there
is but little danger of the machines escape.
The colonel and his assistants very seldom
ascend, officers and others, with authority for
the ascension, being sent up by twos and
threes at a time, and, after few minutes
stay, hauled down.
When the balloon has assembled at this
point to the end of its tether a grand view of
both armies is unfolded. Within a circle of
two miles in radius the sight is very perfect;
beyond that the angle of vision becomes so
nearly horizontal that woods, houses, and
hills, materially interfere with the view. The
landscape has three marked objects upon it,
which are the first to strike the eye. The
Chickahominy, almost beneath ones feet. bor-
dered by its dark green swamps, runs like
| thread from where it rises on the horizon,
away off to the northwest, to where it blends
with woods and hills to the southeast. The
James river in front, though distant, runs in a
deep, crooked valley, and bears on its bosom
hundreds Of craft that, in the distance, look
like white specks upon the blue waters
Richmond, covering large portion of the
western horizon, is, however, the principal
sight. 1t appears to the balloOnist as con
fused medley Of red, white, and black, and
heavy brown Notifications, stretching from
the right to the left, with thick walls, plent-

THE reports of the battle near Charleston
on the 10Th inst, as yet rest upon rebel au-
thority. 1t appears to have been fought with
great bravery by those of our troops who were
engaged, but, with the exception of portion
of the 47th New York (Scotch) regiment, it
is uncertain who they were. The troops on
| the other side were mostly from Charleston
and vicinity. We judge that the affair was
not decisive one, as the last dispatches say
the attack would soon be renewed The
| movement upon Charleston has now begun in
earnest, and its downfall cannot be long de-
ferred The Mercury anticipates the event
by removing its ''fast Hoe press" to Column
bia, beyond danger of bombardment. The
whole confederacy could not supply its place,
and it might be useful, the Mercury says, "if

EXEMPTION OF SLAVE Os-ERsEEEs.-It does
not seem to be understood, that the law of Con.
gress exempting one white person for every
twenty slaves, has no operation in the State of
Arkansas. So far as we are concerned, it is
only matter for general infolsnatiou an its
provisions have no practical bearing, 1t APP
plies only to those States having no law re-
curing white person to reside On a planta~
tion with slaves. We have such law. passed
at the fall session of 1861, which is the law
which governs here as to exemption. 1t is as
follows;
SEC. /. Be ii enacted by the General As
sembly of the State of Arkansas, That any
person occupying plantation with slaves. be
bound to have thereon white person to
oversee and maintain good order among
them provided he or she does not remain on
said plantation in person, and on failure to do
80, on conviction thereof, he or she shall be
fined not less than fifty, nor more than one hun
dred dollars for each month said plantation
shall be without such white person; this act
take effect from and after its passage.
Approved, Nov. 18th, 1861.
