The balloon Star Spangled Banner
terday afternoon, agreeable TO the ar
rangement, before announced in our col
umus. The imitation of the balloon COM
menced about 10 o'clock, but was sus-
pended between and o'clock, on
account of the rain. II was decided at
this time that the proposed ascension
would not take place; but subsequently,
the rain having ceased and the prospect
of good weather being promising, the
Committee of arrangements concluded TO
have the programme carried out. Ac-
cordingly the initiation was completed;
and at five minutes past z the balloon
took its aerial fight. Mr.. Samuel A.
King, proprietor OF the balloon, was ac-
companied by j. b. Stearns, Superintend-
ent Of the Telegraph Fire Alarms, VIM.
MoCormic, Mr., Holden of the Herald, and
Thaddeus Page.
The balloon took an easterly course,
passing in line down Summer street
and Immediately over the harbor. There
was a fog at the time over the water, and
ID was decided TO make a descent as soon
as possible, The gas was allowed 10
escape, and the balloon, it was supposed,
could be landed at Fort independence,
But this was found impraotioable. 1t
FIRST struck in the water little south
west of Rainslord Island The balloon
again arose and went towards Long Is
and. II was thought landing could be
effected here, but this expectation was
not realized In the meantime several
boats, and the steam-tug, Huron, Captain
Scully, were endeayorng TO follow the
aerOnauts, Lines were thrown out and
caught first by a sail boat; but this proved
inefficient The balloon continued TO go
up and down by turns, dashing the party
beneath the water,
The Huron finally got purchase upon
il, but an inch rope was broken as 1t II
had been only a thread. A second time
it was attached TO the tug, but 80 great
was the power Of the balloon that the
boat was drawn three quarters Of mile
when the passengers made their escape
on board Mr., Stearns was thrown into
the water. Mr.. King was the last to
leave the basket which he had no sooner
done than the rope parted and the ball
loon shot of into the clouds at a fearful
rate, IL was valued at $500, and will
probably be mover seen again. The party
got an board the Huron about half-past
>, and reached the city an hour later,
thoroughly drenched, but in good spirits
IL was narrow escape from drown ing,

inflated, and, with Mr. Westbrook in the
car, started from the earth between four
and five o'clock p M. 1t had not
assembled more than 800 or 400 feet,
when it burst and turned inside out and
fell with rapid momentum, striking the
ground about thirty rods from its start

heels going through the close wicker
work of the side of the car, and sinking
TO the depth Of nearly two inches. He
was Immediately taken out of the car in
a totally unconscious condition. One Of
his legs was broken--perhaps both, and
the internal injuries TO vital parts of his
body and brain precluded all hope Of re-
covery. No human organization could
endure suoh a violent conclusion. Sew

1t would be curious to know whether
any one Of the rebel regiments from the
far far South, which fled from Fort Henry
the lother day, on the approach of our
troops, was the regiment which marched
from Louisiana to that part of Tennessee,
not long ago, bearing before it black flag,
adorned with fearful imagery and CROSS
bones, and underneath the words ''No
Quarter" 1t may have been and it may
lpt : tits AS likely one way as the other.
We certainly know that the Black Flag
gentry of South Carolina were not slow
in fleeing from the Hilton Head forts

their ears and according to a Charles

The Philadelphia Inquirer's cores
pondent writes that several zimporGtn1
orders have lately been issued by Gen.
Sherman. One was occasioned by the
fact that improper communications have
been made by officers and others in the
command, and their private letters, and
those letters being printed, secrets of the
highest consequence have been d1vuiged'
perhaps, to the enemy,
The order in question warns both civi-
lians and military men that the punish
ment for conveying information to the
enemy, either directly or indirectly, is
death. 1t would be well for the friends
OF such incautious babblers to remember
this, when with equal eimprudence ~tlfey
are inclined to publish letters, containing
what Should never have been told. "a
Orders have been issued to receive all
contraband negroes whonfreely offer their
services to the Government, and to en-
ploy them in such services as they may
be fitted for any surplus of able-bodied
individuals to be sent to labor at the de-
pot. A record is kept, showing the name
and description of the person, and the
name and character, as loyal or disloyal,
of the master. Compensation is allow ed
