Trw great French pulpit orator Whoso lold protest suuiiist the rilrimioiiiuHe tendencies wulch hi pro M-nt control hi church, and even threaten to control the Keniiienlcal Council, is at. present a Kucst or our ltv. FHthcr Hyaciuthe, whoso departure for the I'Bited Stales wao recently announced by ca'ile, arrived yesterday In the rrench Bteamer rereire, and now stays at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. A nnni er of visitors called there during the day to pay their respects to the (Treat preacher, but only a few Lad the pleasure of bcinu; admitted. The Father was rroatly fatigued by the vovntre, and desired t retire at an early hour. Among those who had a protracted Interview with him was a representative of the Tribune. . The conversation was pfirtly of a private and per sonal character, and not suited for publication. Father llyaclntho Is, however, entirely frank about his intentions and his present suunt ion. Jle desire It to be understood that, he still Is a Unman Catholic, lie lias never been, hesavs, an ritramoutane; is not now and never will be. Hut he denies Hint there is any reason or Identifying ntramouianlsm with the Catholic Church. He Indulges the lirm hope that the council will not, as is commonly anticipated, consolidate the I Itraniontune theories and constitute them the creed of the Church ; but that, on the con trary, it will leave tho door wide open for those who. like'himself, have been throughout life the devoted ' champions of a more liberal const ruction of the Catholic doctrlues, and who in particular have de fended the entire harmony netween uieunimiian re- igion and the great achievements of the civilization if tin- nineteenth century. Father Hyacintlie ex pressly declares his full concurrence iu tho senti ments of Father I.acordulrc, who died, according to his own words, "an Impenitent liberal," and of Count Montalembert., who recently, from his sick bed. (which he expects to be soon his dying bed), sent a stirring letter to the "liberal priests and laymen of iermany," exhorting them to have courage, as without tho courageous profession of the liberul Catholics' the "Church would soon bo lost in the Benseless'triumph of a fanatical blgotism." Father Ilyaclnthe expresses his admiration of the wise and moderate words of the Oermun bishops lately asscm kled at Fntda, which he thinks cannot fall to exert a most salutary intliience. To the question what conrae of action ho would pursne, ir, as the common anticipation now is, the majority of the Bishops assembled in Homo should expressly sanction the ultra-Papal theories of the Itoinau See, and leave no room in the Church for any who utterly repudiate those theories, the Father replied that this question will not come up for consideration until the resolutions of the council shall bo known. He has no fixed progiamme yet as to his movements in the United States. He has come over to seo and to study the country of which he has been s j long an ardent admirer. In his addresses he has often in masterly eloquence traced the greatness of this country to its open Bible and Its popular and free religion, and he wants to see witli his own eyes whether the actual picture corresponds with his idea. After a few weeks or mouths he expects to return to Fiance; he may or may not go to the Kcumcnical Council; beyond that no programme has been laid out for the fnture. Hut the strong basis of his religions belief, on which he dwells with particular emphasis, is the belief iu the divinity of Christ, in the inspiration of tlie Scriptures, and the excellence of tho Christian civilization of the nineteenth century. Father Iiyaciuthe is now in the prime of his man haod. Jle was worn in 127 at Orleans, studied at Fail, where his father was rector of the Academy. Having, at the age of 'eighteen, entered the Serai nary of Saint Sulpice, lie was, after four years of theological studies, ordained priest, and soon after called as Professor of Philosophy to the Seminary of Avignon. Later he became Professor of Theology ut Nantes. After that ho was for several years con nected with tho parish of Saint Sulpice In Paris. Feeling a vocation to the monastic life, he spent two years in the novitiate of the Carmelite Convent of Lyons, then Joined that order, and at once produced a sensation by his brilliant sermons. He preached the Advent sermons at Ttordeaux iu latin, the Lent sermons at Perlgcux in 1HC4 and in the summer of the same year went to Paris, when at tli'j Church of Madeleine, and later at Notre Dame, he achieved a great and brilliant success. Every suc cessive year increased this success; and his reputa tion as one of the greatest living pulpit orators, not nly of France but of the whole Christian world, was undisputed in any quarter. No great jaurnal of t lis country or ot Europe has failed to tell its readers about the brilliant oratory of Father Hyacinth" and Jong before his bold protest tilled tho world with amazement, Father Ilyaciuthe's name was known in every part of the Christian world. Father Hyacinthe, according to his own state ments, has always been a Liberal, and opponent of Lltramoutano theories. Now that his Liberalism has become so conspicuously kuown, the French papers, with what truth we have not yet learned, publish some Interesting particulars about his Libe ral beginnings. We llnd it stated that in the year ist2 Father Hyacinthe, on the invitation of the So ciety of St. Vincent de Paul, for the first time ascended the pulpit of the Church of St. Nizier, at Lyons, as substitute for Father Hermann, who enjoyed considerable fame as a preacher, but was then attacked by illness. Father Hyacinthe confined him self at first entirely within the limits of the lnstruc tlons given him by his superiors ; the commencement of his discourse was cold and unlmpassioned, and failed to excite any enthusiasm In his audience ; sud denly, however, he followed his own inspiration, and uttered an eloquent apostrophe on the want of bro therly love In the present assembly and in the Church, and on the universal selfishness which pre vailed in its place. The latter portion of his discourse caussd no little surprise, and was the subject of much comment. In a second sermon he announced quite pluinJy a preference for morality over dogma. "J have wandered over tho world,'' he said, "aud have everywhere found only germs of intelligence and atoms of understanding. I have entered the cloister aud have there only met with abortive Raima.-' The Archbishop of Lyons, Cardinal Ronald, -heard this sermon preached, aud was highly offended at It. In the first burst of Ins indignation he sent lor Father Hyacinthe aud forbade him to preach In any Church of his dioccHe. Tho urgent representations of the highest society in Lvons induced him to with draw this prohibition. He again sut for Father Hyacinthe, and in a mild and uncommonly forbear ing manner put Ixifore lilm the harm he would do to the Church if he went on with his violent attacks upon it Father Hyacinthe could not resist tills friendly address, and promised to control himself in future. It was not until lately that ho found hiiusalf unable to keep this promise anv longer. Fntlicr Hyacinthe' Revolution In Mnpport of Freedom ol t'ouneInicc-. Powerful Uudorxo ntrtit of I lie .Honk. II. L'Abbe Mil lion, of the diocese of Paris, has ad. dressed a remarkable letter to Father Hyacinthe, In which he disputes tho right oj the Superior of iho Carmelites to unfrock the learned preacher whoso retirement from the order hus JuMv occasioned so much excitement In the clerical circles of the Homau Catholic Church. He says: My Dear aud illustrious lirothor: The day on which I wrote to youexprcpslnif mv warm sympathy tor your courajfe In maintaining In vour person tho liliertyof the word of the J.vaugclist? against the pretensions of the superior of your order as to what yon ought to support or not to support in the pulpit of Kotte Daiuo, 1 was far from foreseeing that this a't, which does you honor, would bo the object of stuh violent attacks from the religious prea-j. You must expect obloquy; it. Is the portion of liberty In the world. You have, In truth, raised atempost; It is the logic- of passions, and these aro Im placable. I do not hope that I can bring back to a true notion of this subject the fanatics who stamp you as a renegado, as bad as Luther, at least as bad as Lamennals. We must leave such men to the phamo of their profession. Put we have among the clergy good men, with honeiabl'j and loyal natures, whom tills lurious clamor lias arrayed against us. The-e men can tie brought back to thi truth. I shall never forget what thu good Cardinal one of the most lutelngent and moderate archbishops said to me many a time "What a fault have we committed In the case of Laniennais ! They have Irritated him ; thev have driven lilm to extremes. Tho evil which his fall hus caused could have been easily avoided." J should have never thought that I should have to apply to Father Hyacinthe this judgment, so full of wisdom. You must havo a powerful faith a Chris tian eourage to resist martyrdom; not to be dis turbed bv the fury of those audits of insult who Vi.'iV tlifs adiun'ablv servo the holv cause bv riWl iiinjr under foot tno men who tread in I ih? nn.Whood the slippery path of defection. A regards the men who can judgo your tonddct with indUTa'cii'.', these prtHtut the iserious Bide of the question which your fiction has created; and this I would wish them to understand. When a priest Is at once, as you are, a religious of an order and a pivacher, there is a double authority to which ho Is subject. As a religious, he Is subject to his nuperlor; as a preacher, he Is beholden to the bishop of the diocese In which ho exercises his sacred office. The bishop has no authority to direct him In his monastic life, nts superior cannot command him In his apostolic ministry. The doctrines of the con ferences of Notre Dame are dependent on the Arcn hishop of ltrls, and, when at the end of a station, the archbishop, ascending the pulpit, In Ids t,irn ratines the doctrines which have been adduced oy the preacher, tin; latter, the humble lirP"j'1. of the bishop and his simple vicar, retires, the bishop alone Is responsible before the I 'ir These are verr simple Ideas. Your superior has no longer the right to say to you, "You have pre hedin such and such a manner ; I wish that you woul I not sustain such theories any lomwrhat T ' '' rononnceHiich tendencies." If ho did that he Is guilty of usurpation Iu tne or-ierni nn- -"""'," is higher than the superior of an order. o u have' Iheii bv vour couraKlou protest, maintained tne Ibe ty of the preacheT and the rights of the hplsco ", 1 1. , hnf. rptrar.i von have been eiul- nen ly Catholic; and I doubt not that Ko me, which his the ancient character or weigh ing th"so things maturely, does not under stand the question in the true point of view. If vou are wrong in this act which 1 have so inuch praised, it must lie granted that the mis sion which Is given to ns in the pulpit docs not de pend nn v longeron the Episcopal hierarchy, but on the conventual authority. To tell you my mind ireelv, I do not think that the fathers of the forth coming council will approve of this upsettlnir of the hierarchical order in the Church. Your violent enemies have guarded themselves against running foul of this serious aspect of the question, aud the writers or the independent press are not su'llclent l.v acquainted with ecclesiastical mutters tohaveutider Ptood your position. Thev have seen nothing tint, a monk throwing on' his frock, and enthusiasts have taken advantage of tho petty occasion to say: "Come, make another step in advance ; come to us come to the advocates of free thought." Yon have to thank them for this attention. They are, without, any doubt, very honorable men in the diocese of M. Salnte Reuve. But a simple conflict in which you assume your liberty by going out of the cloister as you wonld assume in leaving the parochial mlntstry for the cloister, is not aa event of such gravity that your faith should be pledged In whatever might be, aud that you would have to cast it tetho winds wlta vour cloth, to take reluge against perse cution in the shelter in whlcn Lamennals found rest. When tho excitement first aroused by your letter shall have subsided, men of calm and sober minds will return to your opinions. You will not, however, bring back your enemies they have been so happy, from the fervent exclama tion which closes your letter, to see in the warm appeal to tho Sovereign Pontiff, to nil future coun cils, and to Christ himself, the proud revolt of the monk. They have not reflected that to appeal to the Pope Is to recognize the Pope; that, to appaal to councils and to Christ is to believe la the authority of councils and to place one's self under the safe guard of the Church and of its Divine founder. In the diocese of M. Samte Uetive I do not know whether they take such precautions. But when, even under the first impression of your profound concern, sihnc expressions in vour letter would have had all the theological rigor which could be desired, that did not cause a rupture. The cruel phrase, "The fall of Father Hyacinthe," which I have read in many of the religious papers, Is a base calumny and a remarkable misrepresentation. lam glad to bo able to protest, in my humble position, against dangerous violence. We galu nothing in the Church in drawing up our own soldiers against us. It had been said Luther, Calvin, Lamcuuais have passed awav, and tho Church remains. Yes, but two thirds of Luropo aud the 'ew World arc Protestant. Yes, but since the deplorable defection of Lamen nnls the Church of free thought has assumed among the educated classes a vast develop ment. Foolish, indeed, are those who do not sec these things. 1 have tho good fortune to see them, and I express my feelings. This insane de sire to imike heretics ami apostates at all hazard, and ut the least cause, is unhappily not new among us. it lias, nowevcr, assumed greater intensity in our uie. I thank (iod that I am free from this foiiy. This, then, my dear and illustrious brother, how ever little may lie my power in the Church, is the reason i nave resolved to divest myseir wmi Christian Joy of participation in the calumnies, tho injuries, the baseness and cowardico which overwhelm you. I know that there aro among the clergymen who have the same calm and impartial judgment regarding the matter, but who have not pens with which to 'declare their thoughts as I have declared mine. In conclusion, were I to be alone in regarding your Initiative In favor of liberty, honor- tunc, courageous, and just, i wouiu oe bo. Accept, mv dear and worthy brother, the expression of my most devoted sentiments. Your very humble ser vant, L'AliBE J. II. MK'UON. MUKTAKSIEC, Oct. 8, 18U. GENERALITIES. Not Itourbon.

Two men had stolen a leg of mut ton from a umall eating-house and were making olf with it, when another individual who had left the establishment at the wtmo time and had observed t he act, remarked to them that their supper would not cost them dear. "11 you saw us." replied one of the thieves, "you shall not tell,"-and, drawing a knife, he plunged it into the throat of the stranger. Tlie confederates then made oil'. The wounded man Is not expected to recover. The Connecticut Flood, Since the time "when the memory of man runneth not back to tho contrary," there has never been a mere tain Hood in the Conneclieut river so long sus tained as this. For about two weeks it has beeu steadily sustained at a height of twenty feet or more, rising occusiiiiiallv to'twonty-flve or twenty-six feet, aud keeping most of the tlmo fully up to twenty feet. This Is wholly the result of rain, and It equals the long floods of April, which tiro sustained by great bodies of melting snow far north. The lower part of the city is still lloooed.

DIAMONDS. The Excitement In Anmrnlln The Wonderful Australians are In a ferment. They have dis covered that tho most precious of all g ;iiis lies burled almost, In the mud beneath their fost. Tho fever burns stronger every day. This is what a Melbourne - correspondent writes to the London Times on the subject: "In mv last letter 1 gave yon a Rhort account of the newly-formed diamond mining company In Mel bourne. Since the departure or the last mall a second company has been started to search for precious stones In what Is now called the diamond district of New South Wales, and both that colony and Victoria are pretty well bitten alike with this new mania. "in every broker's office, at the corner of every street, In every railway train or public carriage, and at every dinner-table, the talk is of diamonds, and rubies, and opals, and emeralds, and pearls, and topazes, and of every other precious stone known to the cabinet of the lapidary, our Australian nights are now all turned into 'Arabian Nights,' and many of us are living and dreaming in another Valley of Diamonds, which Is to make the fortunes of all who will only take shares in the new 'Mudgee Diamond Mining Company (Limited).' You cannot enter n jeweller s shop but brilliants of the finest water irotu Mii'lgce are presented to your view. "Meanwhile, to bring the excitement to fever heat, comes to nr. a few days back, a telegram from Sydney, announcing that a diamond so large that the Kohlnoorwas a contemptible tiling to.it hid been found at. Armidaie, in the northern district of New South Wales; that the thing was nearly as large as a turkey's egg; that it weighed seven ounces and some grains; and that it was being cou Vfycd by an armed escort to Sydney. At first, tills report vtas regarded here as a rather stipid hoa devised to move the share market. Hy subsequent advices, however, we learned that a remarkable stone of some kind had really been found as re ported; that It was as large as described; that It hid been lodged In the Treasury In Sydney for safe custody; that the Itcv. Mr. Clarke, the well-known geolog'iht, had been set to work on It, but that his report had not yet been made in any authentic shape. "We next learned by telegram that tho Bank of New South Wales at Armidaie had advanced 700 upon It at, a venture; that it had reached and been placed in the Sydney Mint, where it was detained for the payment or escort charges. The Australian Steam 'Navigation Company also, It was reported, were urging a percentage claim on it for freight. Telegram upon telegram thus showing this noble and protracted contention over 'the Mountain or Light,' as It was called, we set It down for a topaz at least, and possibly even a diamond. The Illusion seems to be at least dispelled by a telegram Inform ing us 'thnt it Is now generally believed to be a piece or crystalized quartz.' "I had, however, in my own hands the other day a diamond just arrived lrom Mudgee, and weighing 6 U-8 carets. It is a perfect octatwdron, clear, and without speck or flaw. It was the property of tho Hank of New South Wales, and has since been soul by them to Mr. Crisp, a Melbourne jeweller, for XI 14. It Is almost supertluous to add that the Mudgee dis trict is now attracting great numbers of people or every rank anil from all parts or the colonies, one who has been there informed me that he saw bank ers nnd merchants' clerks and lawyers with their coats off, washing away for koh-i-noors with the en thusiasm of the early golden era; and that in every cottage round about the neighborhood women and children had their little 'Hilda' at the disposal of the highest bidder." VIIUUN'IA. Iilciitriinni-I.cvrrnor Lewis, one of I he Pros pective wciiiitor. The Richmond DUpaU-h of yesterday gives tho fol lowing sketch of Lieutenant-Governor John F. Lewis,- of Virginia, who last evening received tho nomination for the United States Senatorshlp from the Walker legislative caucus, and will undoubtedly bo elected to-day as one of tho representatives in the national Senate from that State: Lewis Is a name well known throughout Virginia. It has been worn by many of her best citizens in colonial and revolutionary times, and in tho present day. Not a few members or the family have boon honored with positions of trust iu tho State nnd National (iovernments. The subjet t or this sketch is a son of General Samuel H. Lewis, of liockingham, a mau of uuusuul talents and fine attainments, re cently deceased. He has always lived In the neigh borhood of his birthplace, and, devoting lmnseK to ngriculi ure, has, by industry and honest dealing, amassed a competency for his family. He has never dabbled iu politics, but his opinions on public uilairs are alwavs clearly defined, frankly expressed, and generally known to the people of his county. In lt;o thev elected him by a liandsoine majority to the State Convention. As a candidate he proclaimed himself an unconditional 1'nlotilst, and as a member of the Convention every vote cast proved him falth lul to his pledges. Conscientious in the belief that the true welfare of Virginia depended upon her ad herence to the Federal (lovernment, ho stood out, like a Lewis, to the last, and was one of the few members who persistently refused to sign the ordi nance of secession, and never did sign it. During tlie war Mr. Lewis maintained his Union sentiments, when nearly every man of us believed It treasouto do so; but he was always a Virginian, and whatever might have been tho Judgment of tho body of the people upou his course, 'he never tor a moment lost the respect or confidence or the people of his, immediate vicinity to whom ho was best known. sine the war no has taken a prominent part in the work of reconstruction, but has never fraternized with tho extremists, believing that the work might be safely entrusted to citizens or Vir ginia. At the late election ho was chosen Lieutenant Governor by a majority or 20,443; his personal popu larity being attested by the fact that he led his ticket by 2110 votes. He now fills the oillee or Lieutenant Governor by military appointment, and is tx officio President or the Senate. Governor Lewis is abont fifty years of ago, is tall, rather awkward in his movements, but has very pleasant manners, and makes friends easily. He is a highly-esteemed member "of the' Protestant Epis copal Church, and is a frequent attendant upon the councils and conventions of that denomination. TRASS -eoyTISEXTAt. An International Pnclfio Rnllroad. The Louisville Courier-Journal recently published this communication in Its editorial columns: A bill to charter the International Pacific Railroad was ottered by General Logan, of Illinois, In tho lower house of Congress last March, aud la now pending. Tho bill is looked upon favorably by a large portion of the members of Congress, and by tho people generally, as being tlie best and shortest line to the Pacific. The bill only proposes the Gov ernment simply to endorse the International Rail road hoii'ls lor the payment of the Interest, and the road to transport Government munltionsof wai'.sup plics, and mails in payment thereof. Most assuredly! Congress will respond and give Hid for this grand projected line of railroad, com mencing at Csiro, thenco due southward by Little Keck, tne capital of Arkansas, Austin, tho capital of Texas, nnd near Monterey or Saltillo, in Mexico, on to the Pacific. The distance by the scale from Cairo to Mazallun is ittuo uiiles; from Cairo to Wash ington, by the Cumberland Gap, MO miles, making WMI miles; from Cairo to New York JiiO miles, liOiiO miles; from Cairo to Lake Frio4W) miles, l7.o;mlles; from Cairo to Chicago, by rail, iiss miles, tosi. miles. A look ut the map or North America, with this lino marked straight rrorn Lake F.rie to the Pacific Ocean, will show to any unprejudiced mind the magnltiido ami importance of this road, benefitting tie: whole country, uml conflicting with no other charters trained cither by States or Congress. WILMINGTON. . A Supposed .Murder. Suva the Wilmington I)el.) Vomwerrlal or yester day: Yesterday morning Iho bodvof a man was found ijlng lace downwards in a gutter on French street, below the railroad, near a wood pile. There were marks or violence ubout tho head and face, which aroiiBed suspicions of foul play. A large crowd assembled and excitement, ran high. Coroner Peudergust held an inquest on the bodv, which was carried Juto a Khed ut Irish's coal yard. It was recognized as that of Daniel McKeuna, who had been working lor 1 homas shannon, a baker in Monroe street, between Second and Third. Dr. W. F. Qulriby testified"! have made a post mortem examination of the body supposed to bo thut of Daniel McKeuna, and llnd a contused wound, one Inch above the left eyebrow. Tho outer treble or the skull is depressed,! find three incised wounds on his i hin and one on his under lip, and one on his left upper eyelid. None of timseounds are sudl dent to cause death, but to produce Insensibility. I consider theue wounds to have been produced by a blow or blows of a club or other weaitous." However, the popular impression is that the man fell Into the gutter whUe drunk, and that death was caused by both the liquor he hud tuktu aud the in juries he received in lulling, UP IX A BALLOON. Perilous Portion of nn -Tronnnt Three MHos Above Knrth-llln Flner Frozen, and his Body Almont Paralyzed -JIarvelloiia Escape from lleatb. Among the wonderfnl escapes from death by trronants Is to be recorded the following, of which the Saginaw (Mich.) KnterprU speaks thus: On the occasln of Professor La Mountain's recent balloon ascension from Bay City he met with a terrible ad venture, and very narrowly escaped death. The balloon was filled before starting to its utmost tension, but owing to recent repairs leaked badiy, so that after one or two unsuccessful attempts Mr. Ileadley, who was to have accompanied Professor La Mountain, was obliged to get out of the car. Mr. Ileadley had the eatables, instruments of observa tion, aud tissue paper used to ascertain the ascend ing fore of the balloon, and aa he stepped out of the car, before he could transfer the articles named, those who had hold of the car let go, and the balloon shot up with a rapidity that carried It to an altitude of two miles within a rew minutes. A perrcct gale or wind was blowing at the time, and a moment after rain and sleet commenced falling. The bulloon was still ascending when lost to sight InacUud. Pro fessor La Mountain, In relatiug his experience, says that it became all aj, once intensely cold. The cloud he, entered was one swimming mass of snow flakes, Interspersed with rain, which formed a frost work on the netting or the bulloon. The cloud with the snow-flakes forming ami Hying hither and thither had, as he expressed it, the appearance of a cioud of steam through which tho sight could not penetrate. The earth was lost to view. By tearing tip his handkerchief ami throwing out shreds he be came conscious that he was passing upwards with wonderful rapidity, and along with the current of tho air eastward towards the lake. Nothing was discernible but the thickening mist, and overhi'Bd his balloon, which, ns tlm air became lighter, hud expanded the thin cloth covering to its ntm st length. Fearful that, lie might be carried Into 1 he lake, and without a pound of ballast to regulate, his descent, he reached for the valve ropo with thelntentlon of lowering himself gradually. To his surprise the valve would not open. The rain and sleet accumulating on the top of the balloon had frozen the valve so tight as to resist the pressure from below. Putting his whole strength to the task, he gave a strong pull on the rope, pulling out the Iron staples attaching the rope to tho valve, the rope falling down Into the car. The balloon was mount ing up faster than ever. It had passed the storm cloud, which was a mile below, and the heavens above were as clear, and the suu shining as bright, as at midday in June. But tlie air was very cold, and La Mountain was benumbed with cold. But little time was lost In speculation. He had attained a helgnt of over three miles. The balloon could not burst, for when the expansion became too great the gas could escape from the Hue or valve below, which was open ; but he was feartnl or being carried into or over the lake without having made preparations for such an event. Mounting tlie hoop overhead he reached, ror his knife only to find that he had left It on the ground. Clinging to th" ropes with one hand, with the other, aud his teeth, after some exertion, he succeeded in tearing a rent in the balloon from the bottom ten or fifteen feet upwards. Then serving the opposite side the same way, !io descended to the car to watch the progress. "During this operation the ends ot the lingers or both hands had become frozen. For a few minutes the balloon kept ascend ing, and then, us the gas escaped It reached an equipoise, and a moment after commenced gradu ally to descend to the earth. Kvery instant In creased Its downward speed. The Profes sor says that he heard the cloth tearing, the rents enlarging, until, with a crash that sounded like a death-knell, the cloth gave way to the pressure, opening a seam on both sides from the bottom to the top. The gas escaped instantly, low ing not a thousand cubic feet, while the air rushed In, lining up the vacuum, the balloon acting as a parachute. The Pi of ess or gives it as his opinion that at the height of two miles there was not a foot or gas in the balloon. The cloth, bellying out. formed a strong resistance to the atmosphere, anil retarded the descent. He remembers distinctly passing through a cloud, and the sensation on re gaining sight of the earth. He has an almost Indis tinct recollection of asproaehing the earth's sur face. A dull moaning like the surging of the waves greeting his ears, the flapping of the cloth became louder, and a moment after he became unconscious. On regaining his senses he found himself lying In the woods, and his balloon was some yards distant. Several per sons who had seen tho balloon descend had como to the scene and were standing near. They afterwards assisted him. His arms and legs were badly bruised, and himself stunned, but no bones were broken or internal Injury sustained. In ; tpo' where he fell Is seven miles from Bay City. He stopped over night nt a farm house near by, and yesterday morning re turned to Bay City. The time that he was In the air was less than thirty minutes, and the reason that he was not can-fed further was on account of passing through different currents of air. PANICKY. The Threatened ltevulslon In San Francisco. The San Francisco JlrraUl laments the financial condition or affairs In that ctly, and predicts rainy failures within tho next sixty days. It remarks: There is no use attempting to disguise the fact than hundreds or our strongest and most solvent men are in jeopardy not that they are less wealthy in sub stance than In the ordinary times or their prosperity, bnt that there Is no medium by which they can represent, in trade and tratllc from hand to hand, the values they possess. The State never was so prosperous, substantially, as to-day. and yet never was there a more gloomy day for the people of the State who are in anywise engaged in business. Strange and disgraceful anoma.y as It is, many of our merchants will fail in the next sixty days, who have property ten times the amount of their liabili ties, unless something be in the meantime done to alleviate their distress. W hy do not the bankers call a meeting of the mer chants and men of business, and propose a plan for easing off the difficulty? Why do not the citizens meet and protest against the outrage of collecting taxes at a time when ruin la staring everybody in the face? Think of the policy of locktng up In the city treasury l,sM),oo ), and abstracting that sum from general circulation, when tne depletion of coin from the veins of commerce Is just dooming com merce to death. I-et no man pay taxes. We do not advocate the defrauding of the city treasury or the revenues of the State ; but to demand the payment now Is not merely mockery, bnt it is tyranny and a piece or arrant dishonesty. The tax collector must stop. If that be added to the other hardens and calamities, there will be hundreds of bankruptcies. CRIME. IliKhvrav Itobberlea In Colorado. "Tho South Park coach, which left Fairplay on Tuesday morning and arrived in this city last even ing," says tho Denver (Col.) Xeic or the 6th Inst, "was stopped and robbed yesterday by three high waymen, between tho St. Louis and Omaha ranches, about thirty-three miles from Denvor. There were no passengers on the coach; and the driver was therefore going slowly up the hill at the place named, and was lookuig down at the wagon, when he was startled by the command 'Halt!' lioking up he found a man, whoso face was blackened, stand ing bv the roadside with a cocked ride drawn upon ' him. Stopping the team as soon as he could, Farnum, the driver, received an order to hold up his hands, und next to deliver np the treasure-iiox. He replied that he had none, us it was not tho coach which brought It down. The highwayman then told hlin to get out or the wagon and go a certain distance away, which ho did, aud while he was standing there the fellow examined everything in the wagon, feeling the mall sacks, and shifting their content from one end of the sack to the other. Finding no gold dust, tho robber next ordered F'amum to take off his coat, and on going through it he found about W in money, ami also a small sack of gold, value ubout $160, belonging to Mr A Bergh, or Buckskin. These he took, returned the coat, and told Farnum to drive oil as Taut aa lie could. The order was quickly obeyed. "On looking back alter his escape, Farnum saw two more men sitting not far from tho road, evidently the companions of the robber. They had with them two pack mules, with packs on them' bochefobt.
