The night was raw and sleety when I regain ed the deck of our bunt. The officers, instead of leaving a watch above, had closed up every thing, and shut themselves in the cabin. The fire-room only was open. The boards dushed from the outside hy the explosion had not yet been replaced.

You may lnugh, Stranger, but I believe I should suffocate in an empty church, if I once felt that 1 was so shut up in it that I could not get out. I have met men afore now just lika me, or worse rather much worse. Men that it made sort of furious to be tied down to any thing, yet so soft-like and contradictory in their natures that you might lend th-mi any where so long as they didn't feel the string.

Rallnnulnff Eilranrtllnarjr t A daring feat was accomplished on Saturday last, by a citizen of our neighboring town of Gettysburg. Mr. John Wise, the American Aeronaut, par rxcrltrncr, had announced his intention to make his 39 Hi loon Ascension, on that day, from an enclosure in Gettysburg and with his usual punctuality, was ready on the day and hour promised. His balloon was inflated his ballast, grappling iron, &c., duly stowed, and he was about to step into his basket At that moment, Mr. John McClellan, a young gentleman of Gettysburg, enquired of Mr. Wue whether it would not be possible for two per sons to ascend with the power then in Hie bal loon. On receiving a negative reply, Mr. Mc Clellan seemed much disappointed said he was determined to have a ride, and enquired the price at which Mr. Wise would permit him to make the voyage nlone. 'One hundred dollars, Sir.'snid Mr. Wise, who did not aj- pcat to consider the enquirer to be in earn est 'I will give you fifty dollars !' 'Agreed fork over !' Tlie joke was 'carried on,' nnd the cream of it was soon transferred to the pocket of the Aeronaut and his substitute was snugly seated in the car, vociferating his di- rection to 'cut hxse !' Mr. Wise thought that nmtters had now gone fur enough, and request ed his customer to get out, ns the time had ar rived at w hich he had promised to be off". But he refused to do so, and iusUt.-d that he hail regularly hired and paid for a passage 'in this U)at,' and go he would. As Harney O'lteardon said to the mnn iu the moon, when the latter respectable personage told him to 'lave his hoiild." 'The more he bid him, the tn'ire he wouldn't !' Mr. Wise then let the balloon up a short distance hy a rope, thinking probably, that as there was considerable wind, and the air horse consequently turbulent, that his nubstttute would have his courage cooled and 'give in.' But this was no go and thinking that he had as good a start as ever he would have, Mr. Mc Clellan cut the rope and wa$ off" ! After he found that it was the determination of Mr. Mc Clellan to go, Mr. Wise had but lime to give him a ,'w hasty and imperfect instructions in regard to the mnnngrment of the balloon and in a few minutes the d.-.ring amateur aeronaut had ascended to a height of about two miles. Here he struck a current of air, which bore him directly towards York. He says that the enrth receded from him very rapidly after he had thrown a bag or two of sand upon it that Gettysburg passed nil toward llagerstown, and that he'saw Carlisle, Hanover, Alxittstown, Ox ford nnd Berlin strolling about and that soon after, just ahead of him, he saw Old York coin ing full tilt up the turnpike toward hun, -pnreutly taking and afternoon's walk to Get tysburg. Having determined tostop at York, and fear ing, from the remarkable speed at which ouru euully staid nnd sober town was travelling, that she would soon puts under hit balloon, and give him the slip, he pulled the string at tached t the safety valve, in order lolet off a portion of his gns. This valve is so constructed, that when the rope attached to it is pulled, the vulve iqiens lo the interior and again closes by the force of the gas when the rope is let go. Unfortunately, however, the unexperienced Hcmnnut pulled t.xi violently at the valve rope, tore the valve dour completely otTit hinges, and brought it down into the car ! When this oceuried he was more than a mile high, and hi; immediately and with fearful rapidity de fended, or rather! to the car ! When the vulve door came off", the gas of course escaped rapidly, but the balloon caught sufficient air to forma parachute, by which the fall was moder ated and vie are happy tosiy that the voyager reached the earth ab int five miles from York, entirely uninjured ! Ho mivs that assoon us I lie vulve doorcdiiie dowa upon hun, he kne.v lliil something hud "broke loose;" and just then re membering that Mr. Wise had told him to be sure w hen he descended to throw out li s grap ping iron, he was preparing to get at it among the numerous things in the basket, when. the earth bounced up against the b.ittoin of the var !" When first seen from York, the balloon wits almut thirteen miles off, nearly dun West. It appealed to be b pproaching d ireetly low ord our town, until the vulve was pulled and it had fal len considerably. As it fell, it bOeineJ to find a current that hire it rapidly toward the North. The spot ut which il landed is about North West of our borough. The escape of Iho gas was distinctly seen from Yoik; nnd as the balloon neared tlio earth it hud lost its rotundity am! appeared to the gazers lit ro R come down lu avtlij like 1 Wet sheet.

In the same Court, on the same day, Jon. C Coi.t, con victed of the murder of Mr. Adams, wus placed at the bir to receive s-'iitence. Mr. Seldcn, (' mnsel for the prisoner, stated the reason why the Court above had not re versed the case, but maintained that Jude Kent could yet review his decision, and he should be glad to make an argument and to be heard in the case. Tne Judge replied that all forms and delays had been gone through with, and that it only remained for the conit to perform the last sol emn and painful duty.. Colt was then arraigned nnd asked by the clerk if he had any thing tossy why sentence of Death should not be pronounced. The Prisoner sa id he had prepared a paper which he should be glad to have read. Judge Kent read the communicetion aloud, which sat forth thnt the Jury had given a ver dict against the evidence and against the charge of the Jndge, nnd that they had been governed by the clamour of the Public, the misrepresentations of the Piess, and a predispo sition of some ofthe Jury wlw had said he Might to be hanged. That if he could have got his case before the Court of Errors, he felt confident it should have had a favorable result. Judge Kent remarked that there had never been a fairer trial, or a more patient and im partial Jury. They had manifested every possible indulgence to him and his counsel, and it was the height of injustice to impugn their motives or conduct; thut it was his duty as well as his inclination to shield them agiinst all blows, and to award to them the common ex pression that they had honestly performed their duty. Here Colt addressed the Court in as firm and commanding manner il lie find been an advocate instead of a prisoner, and snid in sub stance, that he had njt intended to cast any re flections upon the jury, and he did not intend, in his written documents, so to express him self He said, he was not the mnn who w ish ed to break down the law, but still he was like other men, he could not receive an affront without resenting it, --and that he had done on more thm he should do again under similar circumstances. The result, however, he felt not re-ponsible fir; they were the consequence ofthe party ; and however deeply he lelt for the fatal termination, they were brought upon the party by his own acts. He, however, felt more agony from the position he w as placed in than he should to meet death itself. He should leave the result to God. He had no disposi tion to postpone a sentence that must be pro nounced. Judge Kent said there was nothing left for the Court but to fix the period of the execu tion. He should refrain from expressions which were customary on pronouncing a sentence. The prisoner at the bur was no common person; it was eviuenl he could meet any crisis in a manner not common among men. He should therefore pronounce his sentence, which v.as, thul he be taken to the place of execution on the llh of ovetnbcr, and there be hunq bt the neck until he teas dead. Colt received this list sentence with great solemnity, but with firmness, and w ithout any expression of fear or sorrow. His counsel and brother Miwd near him on this trying occasion.
