In allusion to to the daring propo-.
sition Of Prof. Wise to cross the At
lantic, starting from Boston in bal
loon, the st. Louis Dispatch says:
1T seems that tue Professor has long
intended to attcmpt this trip, and
has only deferred ii for lack ofmeans..
He is a noted Tropaut, and will be
remembered as one OF the successful
in the trip made in 1859 from st. Louis
10 the State OF New York. That trip
was made i'll abcnt twenty hours, tho
party, four in number, having left
Washington Square, in this city, at
four or-five in the afternoon and
landed Oh the eastern shore of Lake
Ontario, near Sacket's IlarbOr, about
noon OH the following day. That
feat was made moro notable In tho
presence and accompanying the expe-
dition of u then younger and rising,
journalist, but who may now bo
regarded as Mt the very zenith Of
his fame and usefulness. Our coun-
tryulen will look with anxiety
to the demouemcnt of Prof. Wise's
second great attempt, aud will wish
him entire success and safe return.
thereafter to his many friends on this
'coutinent. No expedition of this,
time is traught with greater daring,
and none that may prove of more
momcntous results should the the.
ories of the protector be fully ver-
ified."
The young journalist alluded to by
the Dispatch in terms of just compli-
ment is AR. Hyde, now editor of the
st. Louis Republican. Nothing be-
fore or since, rivaling the grand
voyage made by the party OF which
Mr.. Hyde was Que, has ever occurred

predicts that corn Will be sold at
double its present market value be-
fore the new crop appears. lie bases
his prediction on these causes: The
season thus far has been one without
precedent in the annals Of this
country. The severe cold, combined
with moro or less rain, that has con-
tiuucd until within few days, has
retarded vegetation ut least one
month, and now that we have .
warm atmosphere, the continued
rains prevent planting. We are
crcdifnbly informed that much Of tho
land usually appropriated to corn,
has not been planted. Under the
most favorable circumstances at least
25 to SO per cent. of the corn land
must remain implanted. The time
