BALLooNING.-One of the smallest,
and in some respects most curious of
the many societies in London, is the
the Aeronautical Society, presided over
by Mr.. James Glaisher, +. r.. S. At
the meeting of this Society two rather
important steps of progress were re-
ported. One is that by NJ. Dupuy de
LONE, who sends information that, bv
means of u screw worked by eight men,
in n balloon weighing altogether four
tons, he has been able to cause the bal
loon to deviate twelve degrees either
way from the direction in which the
wind was blowing. This, as the chair
man remarked, would enable one to
send balloons into Paris, as well as to
get them out. A step in the direction
'of motive power, combining strength
and hghtness, was exhibited in small
machine, occupying less than square
yard, in which steam was got up by the
use of gas, in less than two minutes, to
a pressure of 100 pounds on the square
inch. The machine weighs only forty
pounds, and is of four-horse power.
On the same principal it was averred
that another engine could be made of
100 horse power that will weigh 700
pounds. One is ordered for balloon
that has been constructed for the Aero
nautical Society of Vienna, at q cost of

Diarto says - &
owe are now at the 10th of December,
and have raised no means and done nothing
new to crush the rebellion. Let us give
fresh impulse to the winter campaign II we
would advance on the road to paciication.
The enemy will gain time and territory, and
we will have cause to deplore our criminal
yacilation. Without great and united
movement OH our part the war will drag on
as it has to the present hour. 1t has con-
sumed annually from ten to fifteen thousand
soldiers and $40,000,000. When we find
ourselves fallen never to rise again we will
bitterly regret our short-sighted lack Of pre-
paration."
