moth air.ship, 7 feet high and Sc feet in
diameter. If the ascension IS not satisiac.
tory, the money will be refunded.
In presenting an exhibition for the amuse.
ment of the public, with a view to its per.
lection, it is essential that the excItable elc.
nents OF amusements shall, if possible, be
blended with the more solid features Of sci
ence, research, or of instruction in an Gle.
mentary branch Of education.
a parachute. with a figure attached, rep.
resentiug the goa'ess orliberty, will be sent
down from the balloc7, at an altitude of one
mile.
Prof Wilbur, in this b1Ioon, with the
American flag uuturled, propo,es to carry
the ensign Of American liberty though the
trackless fields Of space, where mortl man
has never yet placed landmark or csl ed
line, and carrying the stars and stripes
higher than they have ever before hoated
will give its folds to the breeze amid the
ether blue, and, ascending nearer the con.
stcllations of the heavens, let the stars Of
glory float.
Every one wishing to take an mrial trip.
can do 50 BY making Arrangements previous

RIVER MATTERs,-The Muscatine of the

the White Collar line, leave Port Byron for
st. Paul tomorrow morning on the arrival Of
The train from Rock Island.

Montrose, and the Kcithburgh for IT, Mad.
son to morrow
The Pembina came up last night with &c
car loads of grain of which went up the
rver and the other Q carloads we're reshipp.
ed for Chicago.
1t may not be uninterestlng to know the
freight tariffs on grain up the river, from be-
low this point. From ali points between St.
Louis and the lower rapids, to Rock Island
the freight is 25 cents per cwt. From all
points above the rapids to Chicago the
freight is 81 cents per cwt. The rolling
stock OF the Chicago aud Rock Island road
is not large enough to meet the present dc.
mand upon them for rcshipment and as the
rush Of freight is but temporary, it would
not pay them to increase it for the accom-.
mediation of grain shippers Freights, how.
ever, are very lively just at this time. The
passenger trade is also very large, and is in
creasing daily. Every boat which comes up
is loaded with passengers, as well as the
down boats.

speculation. Rim Union, m.
We wish the RAIDS would agree among
themselves about the matter. They hrst
charged that It was tobacco speculation
bat when II was shown that all the tobacco
Gen. Singleton purchased was package OF
| Il hundred pounds, for the use OF himself
and friends, and that some one stole this
from him at Annapolis, on his way home,
they chsr"c that his mission was ."
cotton speculation. We can assure them
that It was neither tobacco nor cotton
speculation. but was purely and simply for
the same object which Mr. Lincoln had N
view when lie wcnt to Norfolk on the
"peace.sncah business. Its only object
was 70 stop the war and restore the Union
an object which every man, woman and
child in the United States protesscd to de.
sire. But while at Richmond the rel
els did make some proposals to him in re-
gard to saving property. Gen. Singleton
consulted Mr. Lincoln about it and Mr.. Lin.
coin advised that it be done, if Gen. Grant
thought boat Gen Grant did think best
and so wrote 10 Gen. Singleton. and rave
him permission to save the property. 1t

Component rnrts OF AIcohol.

Chemists say that "Alcohol consists
chemically, in a state of purity, OF
carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen in
the proportions Of carbon about SO
parts, oxygen 81, and hydrogen II to
the 100. The addition of water forms
the various proof spirits, 1t can be
generated in no way but by fermenta-
ton; no skill Of art has yet been able
to combine the above elements in such
proportions, or relations, as to produce
alcohols except by heat and moisture
melting fermentation in vegetable sub.
stances. But it should DO understood,
that vegetables may undergo d certain
degree Differentiation without produ-
cling alcohol; or, if suffered to produce
it, another stage of fermentation. will
radically destroy IL, and produce an
acid. Thus, any of the vegetable sub
stances, rs corn or rye, subjected to q
certain degree of heat and moisture,
will soon suffer a decomposition, and
a development of sugar, to a greater or
less degree, win take place. Ifremov-
ed now from circumstances favorable
70 its farther fermentation, as is the
case with dough for bread, etc, no APP
preciable quantity o falcobol is created.
A further degree of fermentation,
however, is generative of alcohol, and
if arrested here, the alcohol maintains
its decided character while still an
other stage presents the acetous state,
and the alcoholic property is lost in
vinegar"
