AERIAL NAvIGATIoN.-Some of our readers may

science of aeronautics, primarily. no doubt, with
scientific objects, but having so direct bearing on
military affairs-viZ: the employment of balloons for
reeonnoitering purposesm,that we feel justified in
Calling attention to it. The society is headed by the
Dukes OF Argyll and Southerland and has among its
office bearers Mr. Glasher and Mr.. Brearey who are
known to many scientific military men as little likely
to countenance any scheme that had no real practical
usefulness to recommend it.; In paper read by Mr.
stated that very fair average of success has attend
ed the of reconneitering g-baloons by different
armies during the last seventy years. and we further
gather that the subject of balloon corps is
der the consideration Of Government. The society
proposes if duly supported, to rent ground and
struct balloons and apparatus for experiment; to
establish museum for models and inventions in
connection with aerial navigation; to issue perio-
dical of transactions and to make frequent perhaps
daily ascents, whereby much knowledge of the eria
currents may be expectedto to be gained-a consdera.

there Is great necessity of getting little more

pos the remark. The essays of the members of Con-
pages the quantity published in the corresponding
period of the last Cong ess, and in our own State
Legislature six days were occupied in the discussion
of series of resolutions regarding Federal Affairs
and it is not thing to have whole day taken
up in talk about measure winch ought to be dis
going into wind and sound. Let as be thankful how
ever, that we have one public man who knows the
power OF silence. General Grant is a modern Pho
cion who did not speak at ALL and his career has
shown that long speeches arenot element of popu
