The Last BALLOON.

The Chicago Times, of the 24tn inst, con-
talas dispatch from Lapcxte, md, giving
what. purports to be Information obtained
from the captain of The Schooner n. Hack
ley; but which is very inaccurate, In many
particulars.
Capt. L. w. Miller, Of tie Hackley, paid
this city flying visit last Saturday and Sur
day and from him we learn the following
facts
Capt. Miller set sail from Chicago only a
snort time before the ascension took place.
He had plain view of the balloon, as soon
as it had risen above the house tops. 1t con-
tinued to ascend, drifting easterly till Il had
attained an altitude of 2,0C0 feet or more.
Asout six o'clock, the balloon descended
to within 35 feet of the water, still sailing
about the same direction the Hackley was,
and the two men could be plainly sean with
the aid of the glass. The balloon continued
at about the same distance above the water
and some ways in advance Ct the HackleY,
until the deepening shade Of twilight closed
in, and he lost sight Of 1t about eight O'Clock.
The balloon had then reached distance of
absHt As miles, and at the rate it was going
would reach the east shore, IN the vicinity OF
Grand River, about foHr o'clock. Saturday
morning,
Capt. Miller was afterwards informed that
the balloon was seen by the crew Of the
Annie o. Hanson, about nirfe o'clock ;,still
near the water, and going in an easterly
direction.
The squall struck the Hackley about mid
night, and was very severe for about an hour;
at which time, he thinks the balloon
would have reached about two thirds Of the
distance across the lake.
He has no doubt but that the balloon was
wrecked before reaching tas eastern shore;
and that the two unfortunate aeronauts
found watery graves in Lake Michigan

quenched the fire and the tarring was
