France and Her Emperor.
No country now fills so large a space in the
oyo of the world as France. She presents
the anomaly of a large, wealthy, intelligent,
bravo, and resolute population, thoroughly
subjected for all practical governmental pur*
poses to the will of one man, nnd ho being the
most astute of inonarchs, wields the power
thus conferred upon him with astonishing
effect. The action of France on any great
internal or European question, depends nei*
ther on tho will of her people, nor the deci
sion of Parliaments, but on tho determination
of her Emperor. Internal “order” having
been secured by destroying or holding in abey
ance some of tho raoßt sacred and inestimable
of human rights, a sort of liberal and enlight
ened despotism lias been established, by which
Louis Napoleos has secured the power of
guiding her destinies, and controlling her re
sources, with the tacit understanding, how
ever, that while be can do as ho pleases, ho
must in tho main please to do right.
Thus supremo at homo, ho is equally power*
ful abroad, and his movements are watched
with a fur moro scrutinizing and jealous eye
than those of any other monarch. \Then ho
first assumed tho Imperial robes, ho was pa
tronized by some of his brother Sovereigns,
and mi libbed by others, as a parvenu; but the
proudest of them now court hia friendship,
and fear his haired, and, to all appearance, lio
is as firmly seated upon his throno as those
who boast a line of kingly ancestors, running
back for many centuries. Tho firmness with
wlvicii he lias hold tho reins of government,
and tho success which attended his demon
strations aguiust tho colossal power of Russia
at Sebastopol, aud against Austrian tyranny
in Italy, have given him a prestige that no
other Imng*mnn possesses. The known mar.
tlal superiority of the people of Franco—their
love of military glory, and their readiness to
sustain tho most protracted, bloody, and ex
pensive wars—may well make any nation
dread a monarch who can direct their mighty
arms ugotust any country ho chooses to an
tagonize. Tho military renown of Franco
bus been purchased at a cost of human
life which cannot be contemplated with
out a shudder; but while we are aston
ished at tho semi-barbarous tone of na
tional sentiment which has not only sus
tained but applauded reiterated and re-ro
itcrated wars, and at tho perverse taste which
has given to military pursuits an unwarranta
ble preferonco over peaceful occupations,
uo one cau fail to pcrceivo how much
this superior development of the military
Idoa has added to her rank in the scale
of nations. Nothing illustrates in so striking
and forcible a manner her immense waste of
human life in war as her slow increase of popu*
lotion. This has not been quite doubled dur
ing the last one hundred and fifty years. In
1701, her population was 19,CG9,320, while in
1851, H was but 85,781,628. In 1801, it was
27,810,003. During the first fifty years of the
present century, the tncrease was considerably
less than forty per cent, and it is estimated
that in the wars of tho Empire France lost no
less than 1,700,000 men. During the same
period tho population of Great Britian nearly
doubled, and the population of tho United
States rose from 6,200,007 to 23,191,876—an
increase of nearly 400 per cent, While other
causes may have dono much to retard the in
crease of tlie population ofFrancc, her bloody
wars have doubtless been by fur the most im
portant one. A nation thus lavish in her ex
penditure of that which It is the primary ob
joct'of all Governments to preserve—tht life-ot
her citizens—in foreign wars, necessarily ex
ercises, when she is under the guidance of an
ambitious and skilful ruler, and when she pos
sesses sufficient material wealth to support the
necessary expenditures of warlike enterprises,
—a degree of influence, bordering on terror
ism, over contiguous nations of a more peace
ful disposition.
By those tvho consider an abundance of the
precious metals ono of the surest criterion* of
national wealth, and their rapid accumula
tion ono of tho best evidences that could given
of national prosperity, France must bo regard
ed as tho most prosperous country on tho
globe. Her average excess of imports of tho
precious metals over exports for tho ten years
ending with 1858 was 808,787,51X1 francs, or
$02,000,000 —so that since her present ruler
was elevated to power she has increased her
stock of gold ami silver about $020,000,000.
Her foreign commerce during the same period
has nearly doubled in extent, her exports in
1858 being valued at 2,5Gtf,000,000 francs,
and her imports at 2.161,000,000 francs.
Nearly all branches of her internal industry
have received during the same period an im
petus unparalleled in her former history.
But tho fears of a French invasion, which in
England so frequently “fright tho isle from
its propriety,” arc based more upon the re
markable increase in strength and efficiency
of tlio French navy than upon any other cir
cumstance. It has gradually risen from a
small and almost contemptible fleet to a
strength approximating that of Great Britain ,*
and while the numerous colonies and extensive
commercial interests of tho latter Power com
pel her to stud every ocean uitd sea with the
sails of her war-ve&sels, France can readily
concentrate her navy upon her own coasts.
Upon no branch of thy public service has Iter
Emperor bestowed more marked attention,
and in no branch has thero been a more rc
mavkaiile increase in efficiency. In 1858 she
hud afloat or building 209 steam and 252 sail
ing vessels, carrying 12,520 guns and 56,610
seamen and marines, and site had also a large
reserve forco of murines. It is, therefore, nut
unnatural that the people of Great Britain
should be anxious to be, as far as possible,
prepared to resist tlio attacks of so powerful
a neighbor it’ any unfortunate combination of
circumstances should destroy the peaceful re
lations of the two countries.
The Missing Balloonists,
(From the Northern New York Journal* Sept. 2?.J
La Mountain, owing to tbo storm of Tuesday,
was compelled to defer his ascension till Thursday,
when the weather was fine. Tho pubtio adware
was crowded with spectators, and every window
looking out upon it whs fillod with heads, while
the roofs of buildings were black with human
beings. At about ten o’clock tho process of infla
tion was commenced, which continued till bl F.
M when La Mountain appeared among tho crowd
ana bid adieu to them. John A. Haddock, Esq.,
of The lieformer, also took a seat in tho car, to
tho surprise of everybody, as it was not known that
ho ant/oiputed accompany Jog Mr. La Mountain in
his aeriul voyage.
Tho balloon rose beautifully and majestically
above the village, amid tho ehouts of tbo crowd.
Aftor reaching n few hundred feet, it passed off to
the northeast, and in about twenty minutes was out
ot sight. It was soon to pass Philadelphia, 18 milts
distant, fifteen mi antes after its departure. Tho
last that was hoard of it was Us passage ovor tho
town of Fowler, St. Lawrence county, 3l» miles dis
tant, when it seemed to bo moving at a rapid rate
in tho same direction as before. It was supposed
that they would oomo down before dark, and their
roturn to tbo villago was confidently expected by
tho morning train from Potsdam.
Up to this time—five dAys—nothing has been
hoard from them, ami consequently there Is much
anxloty about their safety, and the balloon and its
passengers ia the thorno ofoonvorsatloneverywhere.
>Vo hope, however, that tho predictions of maoy
friends may not be realized, and that we may have
the ploasuro of welcoming him back among us after
a successful and pleasant voyage. A gentleman
somowhat versed in air travelling and the condi
tion of tho voyagers states that tho aeronauts, at
tho last moment, evidently werodisposed to remain
in tho air over night if they found circumstances
favoring such a course; that they probably did so,
and landed in tho wornlug in somo out-of-tho-way
wlldoroeas; and that the distanoo on landing from an
inhabited point explains tho delay of tidings from
them; that they were well clad, and could not suffor
from cold; thatthoy had but a small quantity of pro
visions say three pounds, but thatat this season of
tho year they could not find it very diflloult to ob-,
tain the menus of sustaining life; that they are
both resolnto men, and well calculated to surmouut
obstnoles; that they had from two hundred and
fifty to three hundred pounds ballast, which would
enablo them, if they struck the Gulf of St. Law
ronoo, to cross that body of wator, aud possibly to
cross the ocean, if their course unfortunately lay in
that direction; and that their absence should not
cause especial alarm, even though they should not
return for several days.

to have A'centennial celebration on the 20th Oct

TWO CENTS.
.Hr, William B. Heed’s Speech an 1 *
Inconsistencies.
[For The Preu.]
As Mr William B. Reed basso modestly given
bis “ earnest, cordial, and (he hopes) disinterested
testimony” to the “ patriotism, integrity, and abi
lity of the Administration of Mr. Buchanan,” and
has kindly told his auditors, in order to mitigate
bis own inconsistencies, that “Mr. Webster, who
was called a pretty good Whig, supported a fugi
tive-slave law,” and “ Mr., Clay, as late &* 1850,
announced it to be his doctrine, (and we Whigs
were very apt to take his notions as law.) that a
Territorial legislature could not interfere with
slavery, or the tenure of slave property—the Pre
sident’s doctrine exactly”—designing to lead his
hearers to believe that Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay
would, if living, follow the illustrious lead of Mr.
Rood, and accept the Administration dogma that
tho Constitution gives the right to carry slaves
into the United States territory—will you allow a
gubscribor to inquire what the late Commissioner
to China thinks of the following sentiments of Mr.
Webster and Mr. Clay, uttered during the very
year, 1850, when he claims their opinions to he as
he states?—
On March 7, 1850, Mr. Webster said :
” Wherever there Is a substantive good to be
done; wherever there is a foot of land to be stayed
back from becoming slave territory, I am ready to
assert the principle of the exclusion of slavery. I
am pledged to it from the year 1837: I hare been
pledged to it again and again; and I will perform
those pledges.” r
On February 6,1856, Mr. Clay said:
‘•I have said that I never could vote for it mr
se.f, and I repeat that I never tan, and never will
rote, and no earthly power will ever make me
vote, to spread slavery over territory where it does
not exist. ’
Again, on May 22, 1850, Mr. Clay said:
‘‘lf, by the Constitution of the United States,
there is a right, on the part of every slaveholder In
this country, to carrysUves fnfo the ceded territo.
nes, (ichich I certainty do not bdieve or admits
Ac.” '
Are those doctrines “ tho President’s doctrine
exactly Lot the wary Commissioner answer.
But we can come a little nearer home to this “dis
interested” politician and late office-holder, who,
“when the Whig party marched over in a body to
the Abolition camp,’' magnanimously marched him
self into tho Democratic fold, and now speaks so
cavalierly of “ some suoh abstraction as slavery in
the Territories,” which ho compares in importance
with a oonteat for position in a City Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee!
On pago 173, vol. 2, et scy. of his lifo of his grand
father, General Joseph Heed, Mr- Will Urn B. Reed
says:
“Slavery nercr took deep root or spread its
dark branches far in Pennsylvania.”
lie quotes from President Reed’s message to the
Assembly, as follows:
“ We would also again bring to yonr view a
plan for tho gradual abolition oi slavery, so dis
graceful to any peoplo, aud more especially to those
who have been contending in the great cause of
liberty thesmolros. Honored will that State be in
the annals of history, which shall first abolish this
violation of the rights of mankind, and the memo
ries of those will bo held in grateful and everlast
ing remombrance who shall pass the law to restore
and establish the rights of human nature in Penn
sylvania.”
And again remarks himself: •
“ Abolition with them (the Pennsylvania states
men of the Revolution) was no wayward freak of
headlong enthusiasm, but a reasonable measure of
economical administration—the application of high
principles of abstract equality, In order to eradi
cate without violence, and by gradual processes, an
admiited and inveterate ev
Mr. Heed, again, referring to the authorship of
tho Preamble to the Pennsylvania Abolition Act of
1780, is unable “ to claim the honor for President
Heed,” and adds:
“It may not bo inopportnne to recall public at
tention in this place to another legislative measure
of kindred interests. The resolutions of the Senate
and House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, of
December 22.1819, on the Missouri question. They
were written by William J. Duane, then a repre
sentative from Philadelphia. They breathe, in
eloquent language, the Pennsylvania sentiment of
178 U.”
From an original circular to the Representatives
iu Congress, signed by the then Gorernor, William
Findlay, the following portion cf the production
thus above praised is extracted .* .
“The Senate and House of Representatives of
Pennsylvania, therefore, eannot bnt deprecate any
departure from the humane and enlightened policy
purrned not only by the iUustrtou* 'Congress of
1787, bat by their successors without exception.
They are persuaded that to open the ferine re
gions of the West to a servile rowe-would tend to
‘lncrease theft* numbers beyond tfstyuT'elfltopU >■
would epen a new and steady market for the law
less wndorft of human dash—and weald render all
schemes for obliterating this most foal blot upon
the American character nselesi and unavailing.”
These were sentiments which Mr. Reed approved
“as late as” 1847; they are sentiments which he
need never have been ashamed of; but being now
(“in office and out of office”) a “ warm personal
friend of the President,” that champion of the in
famous Lecompton .Constitution, and giving an
“ earnest, cordial, and disinterested support” te
his Administration, he has found it convenient not
only to indirectly deny his own former sentiment*,
but to endeavor to misrepresent those of Mr. Clay
and Mr. Webster. X. Y.Z.

Ma. “Wise’s Balloon in Hamilton Dark.—
Mr. Wiso commenced tho infUtiou of tho balloon
Jupiter, 34 feet in hor short diameter, yesterday
at ILA. M., in Hamilton Park, corner of Sixty
sixth street and Third avoaue. At 2 P.M., the
great yellow orb of oiled stuff was fully distended,
and multitudinous gaud-bags were put in requisi
tion to hold it down. A large concourse of people
were attracted by the announcement yesterday
moruiug, that he would attempt gome experiment#
in takiug up the balloon attached to a rope und
windlass, by which it could bo pulled down.
Although the wind was a little gusty, the
anxiety of the people was so great to see
tho ascension, and tba desire of some gentle
men whom ho had invited to go up witk him
was so decidedly in favor of going, that he made
the attempt. At 3 o'olock, with two gentlemen, be
rose nearly 800 tcet. They described the sensation
as exceedingly pleasant. They had no dizziness,
and for onco in their lives got an idea that New
York was not so very large a city after all. From
tho Battery to High Bridge it was rolled out be
neath them like a may ; Westchester, the Sound,
Flushing, Brooklyn, the islands, and the Nar
rows, were toward the horizon. They looked
over the Palisade ridge into New Jersey, and
far up the Hudson. The air was pare and in
vigorating, and they said that they were not id
tho loast frigbtonod, though some envious peo
ple, who could not go up, did insinuate that
they saw thoir faces suddenly grow white. It
would be a very pretty play, with spy-glasses, to
watch the oouutenanoes of people as they go up,
ami see how it seems to them, xheropeand wind
lass arrangements, undor tho direction of an old
sea captain, worked admirably. In asecond ascen
sion, Mr. Wise took up two other gentlemen' The
breezo became fresher during this trip skyward,
and they were swept over bo that the rope was
caught for nmoment in some trees near the Windlass,
bringing the balloon down upon more distant trees
for a moment. Tho windlass will be placed in a
four-acre space of smooth meadow, on the Park,
to-day, so that the treeacannot interfere. Of coarse
no attempts were made at photographing the
scenery lrom the balloon yesterday. That proems
requires perfect calm. It willbeattempted to-day
should there be no wind; and a large number of
people will be taken up all along dunugthe day.—

celebrated “White Ball," then abUia with
myriads of wax lights, that filled this splendid
chamber with their eoit radianee. More than hair
a zaUloQ of thalers had been recently expended in
its decorations. There in solemn state stojd the
statues of the twelve Brandenburg electors, the
eight allegorical figiree representing the Prussia*

tho Prussian monarchy, Frederick L nUeed

the abuses and fearful suffering he was made to
undergo through tho brutality of his half-mij
father. Here was tho ecece of many of the most
shameful cruelties inflicted upon tho Prince, which
would havo erushed the manhood out of the mow

strengthen and develop his. Josr as I was enter

rich stuffs, and a daxsle of diamonds and precious

court circle passed on. But it was, tike seme
empty pageant at Vanity Fair. Presently there
was an onosual stir In the crowd, and a Ie w mumur
pervading the whole gallery. It was easily sees
by the excitement, and the earnest looks visible in
the crowd, that some very distiqgaiibod personage
was approaching. I turned to my nearest ceien

the serene light of intellect shone round it.

thoughtfully on. Thero was a mumiur r.f appro
bation,only restrained by the etiquette of the oc
casion from swelling unto loud acclaim. Of this,
however, he did not appear to take the least r>.-
tice. The pageantry by which he w&s surrounded
clearly had no charm* for him, and he looked,
I havo no doubt he felt, that he would have much
preferred the solitude of his study to mingling
in this dance of folly. n
This was tho first sight I had obtained of the man
I mo?t derired to see in all Prussia: I gazed at him.
therefore, m< st earnestly a# long as he continued *ii
sight. His dress, as [ have said before, was faded in
the extreme, and he evidently had tbo student’s coc
teaapi for it# fopperies and'fripperies, ftyusd hi
neck he wore suspended, by a plain black ribhrn,
the portrait of the reigning King, while the point# vf
two or three orders were just visible, peeping from
beneath the fold of the left collar of bts coat. Hii
manner was abstracted, and his thoaghts evidently
elsewhere than amid the splendid pomp ana
pagoantry surrounding him. As he approached
the centre of the line, where I had taken up my
fisition, he looked up for a moment; and* then
wa# struck with his wonderful resemblance to
the late venerable Doctor .Alexander, who hju
“ left a name to live'* among the churches. There
was the same dove-like expression ont of his eyes.
tho same quiet repose about the lines of hlj mouth;*
and the same calm serenity about the high pale
brow, that all those who bad ever seen the Patri
arch of tho Presbyterian church weuMharehai
recalled to their minds in gating on the Prussian
philosopher. Considering his great age at that
time, nearly eighty-six years, his step ws»
remarkably firm; and. with the exception of
the stoop habitual to the student, bts car
riage wo# indicative of strength of ex
tern. The friend and counsellor of the last
king of Prussia, and in high favor with the rrigu
ing monarch, there was nothing within the rang*
of royal benefits that Homboldt could not have
had for tho asking. But, with the true pride of
rho devoteo of science, he put away from ham ho
nors and emoluments, anxious to enrich Ptuxsla
with the contributions of science, and not seeking
riches in return. Residing in a plain edifiee. In a
retired part of the city, surrounded bv his books,
he worked to the last, sod death, wo believe, foacd
him almost with pen in hand, finishing his Eosmos.
Hi# worldly goods were not great, and, with the ex
ception of his library, be owned no property of a&v
great value. His library he left to his faithful
serving man, who has offered it for sale, and we be
lieve Mr. Wright, our minister at Berlin, has been
making efforts to obtain it for the United States,
I left the old Schtoss about ten o’clock, and passed
out of the gate towards the Lust Garten, between
the celebrated bronze hordes, a capital imitation cf
those on the Monte Cabello. at Home. As 1 looked
up at the ancient pile, lights were glancing at every
window, and I coaid hear the faint notes of tha
music, which was opening the dance in the Hall
of the Knights. Tho next :iorning the prostrate
form of one of the guards was found upon tho
threshold of a chamber in the palace, and when re
stored toeonscioasuess, persisted in the story that he
had seen the vision of the “White Lady.” All Ber
lin believed hi? tale, and from the palace to the
humblest cottage there was au anxious feeling as to
what the future had in store. A few months after,
the Emperor of Russia died, and a# he was related
by marriage to the royal house of Prnsria, the
coming of the apparition, theqnidnunc? conceived,
was legitimately accounted for. There had been a
death in the royal house. J W W.

Casting of Mills’ Statue or Washington*.
—Last Tuesday quite a large party was assembled
at the foundry of Clark Mills, near Washing on, t->
witness the final casting of tho equestrian eutue of
Washington, which was attended with the happiest
result. This statue represents General Washington
at the battle of Princeton, at th© mwt cri losl mo
ment of that decisive contest. He Isi mounted tu
his hone, which rears backward upon his haunches,
alarmed at the roar of battle; hU sword is drawn,
and his intrepid countenance seems to defy tho
danger by which he i? menaced. The statue i>%s
- the merit of being a faithful portrait, 89 tne
artist ha? modelled tho features of the General
from the plaster cast taken by Qoudon from Wash
ington himself, and which, antil recently, was pre
served at Mount Vernon. Tho costumed th©
rider, and the caparison? of bi? horeo, are atevtato
copies of the originals. The Presideot haring de
signated the site for this statue—the u CirA©.” in
the First ward, Washington—it will probably be
inaugurated the 22d of February.

covered last week, off Eaton’s Neck. Lorg Iriasd,
about opposite Norwalk. Connecticut, which upon
examination proved to be at least thrr© mUea in
length by two in breadth, the bed bcirg at least a
foot thick, and composed of the largest “East
Rivers'’ ever seen in market. The discoverer*
swore eaoh other eeurwy, and resolved to rnaka
their fortunes; but on© of theparty l asely betrayed
the secret for $5OO. The result has been that over
two hundred vessels have been at work on the

market purposes.
