TIE WEEKLY News AND COURIER
A PRIZE SToRY.--The proprictors of
the .NcDS md Courier, not content
with having the best daily in the cot
ton States, arc determined to make
their weekly second to none. 1t now
contains thirty-siX columns of choicest
matter cullcd from the daily edition.
A new and attractive feature will be
the publication ofa serial story by q
Southern author, illustrative Of South
ern life. A prize Of one hundred dollars
is offered for the best story of this
kind, containing twenty chapters of
ten pages of foolscap each, the prize
to be awarded by committee of
Charleston gentlemen on the 1st Of
April. This is al admirable idea.
Not only will the distinctive features
of Southern life be cmbalmed and
porpotuatcd in print, but al opportu-
nifty is afforded for Southern talent to
manifest itself. Southern aspirants
to literary fame have little chance
with Northern journals, but market
at homo may lead to the opening up
Of mines of literary wealth as yet UNI
developed and undreamed of.

THE MISSING AERONAUTS.

The Tmes-Journdi has despatch from Girard,
ILL.,, from reporter who left here last night
with John Wise. Jr., to explore Macoupon
Crock Bottom in search of tho missing balloonists.
The despatch states that they have 70 und trace
OF tho balloon it's occupants In that section aud
that they do not believe 1t came down south OF
Springfield. II was seen very high in the mir
sunday night by farmers east of dirard, and
circulars thrown from II were picked up. Circulars
were also found near Illiopolis the Wabash Rail
road, between Springfield and Decatur, III. This
explodes the Macoupin Bottom theory but there
are little grounds to base another upon. and as
much mystery surrounds the fate Of the aoronauts
as at any previous time.

several of the republican leaders to take this
course. in order to reduce the Robinson vote
in Brooklyn. which the McLaughlinites claim
will not fail far short of $4,000 majority
The more stalwart republicans. however. Bit
terly opposed to the proposition, and claim that.
with fair management and good nominations. they
elect their own mon to Office without going out
sde for help. It is thought probable, however not
withstanding this opposition, that coalition will
be made this week between the dissatisfied elements
of tho democratic party and the republicans, and
that the latter party will furnish the money neces-
sary to carry on tho campaign The republican and
the democrstic committees will meet this week and
designate the time for holding their primaries and
conventions. The nominations will not be made
until within two weeks OF election day. so that the
canvass being brief promises to be lively.
