SAN Francisco, July 2s.-Advices
from Sydney state that the steamer Ze-
lsndis arrived on the 2lst inst, and de.
livered her mails two days and Elk hours
ahead of those via Sores Straits, which
LEFT London seven days ahead.
Proposals to do away with the New
Zealand postal service is now before the
government, and if acquiesced in will sd-

easily with three steamers, instead of five.

PRoF. WISE has q plan for balloon ex-
cursions and pic. MICS in hot weather, and
recommends it rs cheaper, healthier and
more available than the ordinary meth
ods of getting away from the torrid waves
that surge over us during the summer
solstice. OF course Prof. WISE is trying
10 advance 3 theory, and with it his own
personal opportunity; but for sll that
there is something bslmy and soothing in
what he suggests. Take, for instance, n
balloon 80 feet in diameter, 100 feet high,
and costing about 5000. About 26S, 600
feet Of gas would be necessary TO fli it.
This would cost $500, and would
last two weeks. Such balloon
would take up twenty-five persons
of average weight with their lug
gage. Mount TO an elevation Of 1900
feet and picnic. What glorious seusa-
tions are suggested TO the imagination.
There could be secured by this means
the finest views in the world. Mountain
and sea, city and country could all be en-
joyed at single glance. And the air.
Nothing Of the earth, earthly; it would
be the pure element the reviving and
healing ether. No insects, no dust, no
annoysnces. It would enable many .
Wayfarer TO get nearer Heaven for IS
than be could get any other way. By
al means let US have the balloons, and
We speak at once for rooms in the hrst
univsrsal mid.air hotel constructsd.

LETTER FROM COL. WHITE.
MooRErIELD, w. Va, July


Editors of the lntelligencer.
am here in attendance upon court.
NV attention has been called, to-day, to q
letter published in your issue ST the I'D
inst, dated Grafton, July 18th, and
signed "Nelly," which contains the fol-
lswing pa agraph:
aThat letter has impressed many Demo-
Gratis all over the country the same as
Robert White, the Democratic nominee
for Attorney General. was Impressed by
q conversation in Philadelphia, on July I'd
or 4th. White, late general in the rebel
army, sought and obtained an introduc.
ton TO General Hayes, because he fought
against him during the war among the
mountains Of West Virginia, and since
then, seeing the error OF his way, has
returned TO the political folds OF the Stars
and Stripes and, he might have added,
IS now rewarded for his services in the
Rebel army by the nomination for At
tornev-General Of the State, on the Dem
ocrstic ticket. After this interview with
Gov. Hayes, this ex-rebocrst general
said, l don't see how any man can read
his letter of acceptance, or converse with
Gov. Hayes, and not support him: There
is no man in the United States L would
rather vote for than Gov. Hayes, but as
| am the Democratic nominee tor Attor-
ney- General, l cannot do it without be-
ing politically killed in my own State"
These statements are so utterly with
out foundation that l must request you,
-
| not only never sought and obtained
an introduction" to General Hayes at
Philadelphia or elsewhere, but never
spoke to him nor, to my knowledge, did
| ever see him in my life, nor did | ever
make any declarations IN regard to his
letter of acceptance, nor as to voting for
Gov. Hayes, such as are attributed to mo
by that letter, anywhere or to any person.
Very respectfully, yours,
ROBERT WHITE.
