On Saturday last, the Chronicle, the
office of which the President and mem
bers of the Cabinet honored with visit,
thus referred to one of the ablest and
most patriotic journals of the whole
country:
When newspaper or an individual starts
out upon the path Of treason to a good Gov
eminent, or Of sympathy with such treason,
falsehood becomes as agreeable and as natural
as personal and political ingratitude. Indeed,
it would seem to be difficult for such charac-
ter to tell the truth except when he exposes to
his fellow-traitors that which his hypocrisy has
enabled him to steal from the confidence of
good men. The National i'steIhgemcer fills a
large space in this category. .-. r.
The course of those who charge the In
tel9igencer with being "upon the path of
treason" deserves to be watched as closely
as the trail of John Morgan. This charge
Of treason, copperhead, &C., &C., is taking
a wide range. ~ 's& .A'-

AerOna mites, as Connected with the

It is prevalent idea, originating in a dis
patch from Washington, that the balloon corps
used for making military reconnoissances, has
been broken up, and the use Of balloons dis
pensed with. This idea is All erroneous one.
The corps has suspended its operations, tenn

1t is unfortunate that the balloon corps
