Balloon Ascension by Prof. John Wise.

On Wednesday of this week Prof. John Wise, the renowned aeronaut, made his ^ascension from Lafayette, with tho intention of making an a?rial voyage across the continent to the Atlantic coast. 'Jupiter' is the ritime of his anal ship, on the side of which is the sublime and beautiful in•/Ascription .'ASTBA CASTRA, NUMEN LUMEN,' which means, "the stars are my camp and

Deity my light." What more appropriate or significant motto could be placcd on that which bears the adventurous scronant GO far away towards the eternal stars that tfift earth with all its hills and lofty mountains are lost to sight and it would seem 'that he who ventures above the clouds in a fabric apparently so frail, which moves to and fro with the gentle breeze, would need the protecting arm of Deity to guide him safely in his perilous voyage. Prof.

Wise left Lafayette at 2 o'clock, P. M. rose above the city to an immense height, and remained almost stationary for. an:hour and a half. The winds then bore him a south-west direction. He moved on slowly and gently at a distance of two and a half miles above.the earth, in a rather irregular course between south-west and .south. Towards 5 o'clock,, P. M., he fctruck an almost due south course, pansed over Crawfoidsville, at a distance of two .miles above ..the town about two miles south of Crawfordsville, he commenccd descending, end for a distance of three miles passed with considerable, .rapidity jus£ above, the tree tops, and .landed in the

Crawfordsville and Terre-Hautei road,»five miles south, on the farm: of Widow Benefit.

Dr. T. W. Fry having seen the rapid descent of the Balloou, and thinking that in all probability the Balloon had caught upon the tree-tops of that heavily timbered country, went in company with Samuel Binford, in search of Mr. Wise, for the purpose of rendering any assistance that might be necessary. as. Yanarsdall, the Coroner, and some other young men had "preceded the Doctor and Mr. Binford.—

The Prof, was jocularly told that the,pitizens had gone out prepared for holding an inquest. Prof. Wise returned in a carriage 'with Dr. Fry and Mr. Binford, and felt g'ateful for the kind attention which had been1shown him. When introduced at the

Cranr House, a large crowd greeted him with three loud and hearty cheers. ,- When nearing the earth he threw out a .rope and requested an Irishman to catch it and pull 'him down. "Faith and .be-jabers," said I%ddy, "and I'll not do it, the thing might sr a ad a A

AN IMPORTANT ftlOVE. A project is now on foot to take the initiatory steps for the -construction of a Turnpike road to run in a North-western ,4iteetioa from Green castle to Waveland, in Montgomery comity, taking in its line

Portland Mills and Russelville. This road is greatly needed, and the country at which it commences and through which it passes and terminates is abundantly abla to build it. This project was mooted some time since through the Banner by John Milligan, Esq., of Waveland, and uiged bv us uj on the attention of the people.

Forthe purpose of consulting upon the plan, &c., to be adopted, a meeting of all those interested in its construction or at all concerned iq the improvement and development of the resources of the country is' called to take place at Col. A. S. Farrow's old farm on Thursday, the 25th day of August, 1859, at 10 o'clock, A. M. Let there be a geaeral turnout of everybody,— Putuam Banner. —It will be seen from the above that the citizens of our neighboring county of Putnam, are agitating the subject of the construction of a Turnpike road from Greencastle, via Portland Mills and Rusaelville, to Waveland in this county. A meeting is called for Thursday the 25th inst., to be held on the farm of Col. A. S. Farrow, for the purpose of putting the ball in motionA road of this kind, in that direction wo'd doubtless be of incalculable benefit to the growth and prosperity of Greencastle and her citizens, and probably to other portious of Putnam county but wa cauuot see where it wonld materially benefit the citizens of Waveland and thereabouts. They, 'tis truo, need a road of this kind badly, but it should be in a different direction.— From Waveland to Crawfordsville is the Turnpike road they want and need and we hope, for the prosperity of all concerned, that our citizens at each of these places, and on the route, will immediately take the construction of such road under consideration. Tbey have means in abundance, and why not use them for their own convenience, and for the prosperity and well-faro of the county? The work can be accomplished, if our citizens who are directly interested, did but think so. Our friends in the south-western part of the county need a northern out-let for the product of their section of country, and sho'd have it and we hope the citizens of Crawfordsville and vicinity will lend aid and comfort and that liberally

/y The Crawfordsville Journal gives an account of the death of a young man by the name of Lewis, of Montgomery, caused from the effects of diinkiug a few drams of tho poisonous whisky sold at tho doggeries of Hurley and Kennedy of that place.

Ihe liquor caused violent tetanic spasms, which finally resulted in a most horrible death.

—We find the above notice in the Greencastle Banner, of yesterday, which we are compelled to say is altogether erroneous. You entirely mistook what we said Mr. Banner. We stated that the young man Lewis said "that he had gone, in company with some five or six others, to Geo. Hays' grocery, in Crawfordsville, and bought and drank some whisky, which caused a burning, vomiting, dec., within a few minutes." We did not say that he had bo't whisky at Hurley's nor at Kennedy's.— We further stated that he was having tetanic spasms and that the young man's physicians supposed these spasms to be caused by the liquor he had drank. Neither did we publish that he was dead. He was, at the time of our publication, in a rather critical condition, and so we stated. He has since, we are informed, near­

ftli'ltir FOREST FESTlTAtw Th« large company of yonng ladievsomo one hundred and fifty, the beat vocalists in the place, who have been rehearsing for some timo past, the direction of Prof. Robbins, will perform the beautiful and romantic Operetta of Forest Fe*tixal, representing Scenes in Fairy Land, Friday evening next, at McClelland's Hall. This Fairy Entertainment was performed last week iu Lafayette, as it attfays has been,, to crowded houses, and with the most brilliant success.. The stage will, be made a beautiful green lawn, covered^ with trees from ihe forest, tastefully arranged with wreathes, shrubbery, birds, flowers, &c.— In tho center will be a neat throne for the Forest Queen, surrounded by her Maids of honor, Shepherdesses, Nymphs, Naiads, Fairies, Sylphs, Zephyrs, &c., giving out the beautiful melody of Elfland. Though seldom performed except in larger cities, owing to the great trouble and expense attending this exhibition, Mr. R. has concluded to trust to the liberality of this community, and has placed the admission fee within the reach of all. We understand arangements have been made also for those at a distance to come over the Rail Road at half fare. Now is the time to witness one of the most attractive Entertainments ever given.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WISE CASE. Gov. WISE and his friends are determined to face down all the hypocritical indignation of "the party" at theDosNELLY letter. The Richmond Enquirer—his organ —keeps up good courage, and defiantly says: "As for Gov. Wise, he did writo the letter. He says he did. That he has ritten and will yet write many more and similar Utters, we entertain no doubt. By the letter he is willing to stand. He has 'no recantation to make—no palinodes to sing.'

And further: "The" present "writer could disclose, from his own knowledge, numerous instances in which the most prominent and favored aspirants for the Presidency, 6ome of whom have attained the- high preferment, have thus exchanged views with confidential friends."

As to the charge of trying to divide the New York delegation, the same authority remarks, with italics as we quote:). "Gov. Wise attempts no such thing.— He advises only that to preveut the packing of a delegation, New York shall adopt the Virginia system of electing delegates by districts and further advises, that the.delegates thus fairly elected go to Charleston to contest the right of representation 'gainot the packed delegation of the 'Albany Regency.' The very same thing was done in 1856, doubtless with the full knowledgo and advice of Mr. Buchanan. Tho two delegations went to Cincinnati, and how was the question of unity discussed there by the Virginia delegation? The Virginia delegation interfered and turned the scale of decision as to who should cast the vote of New York. "Mr. Garnett and other friends of. Pierce and Hunter, the samo men who threatened to disturb the unity of Virginia's vote insisted that the whole vote of New Yck should be cast as a unit by the "Softs"— by a single wing of the New York Democracy—by the partisans of John Van Buren— who were fresh from the camp of avowed free-soilism, and that the friends of D. S. Dickinson, who claimed to represent the majoHty of the New York Democracy, should be altogether excluded. "In every..effort to divide the vote'of Virginia—to-'give the "Softs" a unit to give the ".Softs" a majority—they were successfully. foiled by a majority of the Virginia delegation."

The Enquirer promi&'es to follow up this exposition, in subsequent articles. We feay expect some rich and rare' doVelopinonts, before the Governor's, tbronirh—C-ifc Urssette.

flretn the ta+reoM Extra. Stfttemest of tlw Ke«eaer» of Dr. Doy.

We, ten, citizens of tho Territory of Kansa^engaged in the deliverance bf'otir feUow*oitizens from a Missouri dungeon where he was unjustly held, and learning '.ijiat certain parties have given false reports of our action, do setjforth the facts, ^imjjly as a vindication of our conduct. Dr. Doy, was, to onr knowledge, forcibly abducted by a band of lawless men. Missourians and others, from our soil. Held in violation of all law or legal precedent, and learning that this high handed violence was likely to result in a cruel and humiliating imprisonment of our fellow-citizen believing that every citizen of Kansas was injured and insulted in the person of Dr. Doy, and having no other remedy from the authorities whose duty it was to protect "us, resolved to deliver him by the only means lift us, and have executed our purpose as follows:

Having waited until the expiration of the time in which we, were told a legal remedy might be had,' and anticipating Dr. Doy's immediate removal to the penitentiary at Jefferson City, we at once proceeded to St. Joseph, Mo., where he tyas confined. Desiroifa of secuiing his relief without bloodshed if possible,* we took such precaution as would most easily effect our purpose.- On Saturday night last, in a storm of wirid and rain, we proceeded through the streets of the city of St. Joseph to the jail. We had previously ascertained the nature of the jail. That besides the outer doors and a room to pass through, and a flight of stairs, there was a heavy double door, part of iron, and a double grated gate of heavy iron bars.— We determined to proceed by strategy rather than violence. Only ten minutes before we arrived at the jail, the night watch was there, and aroused the jailor with a report that he thought he had seen some one around the jail. He had just left before we arrived. Part of our number was stationed so that they could not be seon from the doors or windows. Three of the number, one of them with his hands seemingly manacled, was. guarded by two others holding him as a prisoner. It had been so dark as the party came through the streets, that we had to keep close together to keep from loseing each other.— Once a cry of police! police! was heard, occasioned by some row down towards tBe docks, and policemen passed the party on their way towards it, but party went on. Having been stationed as mentioned above, we knocked. The jailor came to the upper window, and asked our names and our business. He could see there was but three persons. We told him that we were from the neighborhood of Savannah, (Missouri.) that we had a horse thief in charge. That we had chased him from within a mile of Savannah, and bad just captured him outside of St. Joseph. He asked a few more questions, and came down and unlocked the door. We entered, leading in the prisoner bound between two of our number.— We had to proceed' through an apartment —thence into the passage. Here ihe jailor stopped and asked a few more questions, lii order to satisfy himself. He seemed anxious to know that there were sufficient reasons for the imprisonment of the alleged horse thief. We then proceeded up stairs. Meanwhile, a young man who was in the building came iroui below, and proceeded to the inner door. At the same time, other three of our party entered aud s^ood in the room below, now dark. The young man, coming back, ran against one o' these persons, and asked who it was. He was told that it was more of the same party.

Meanwhile, the party at the head of the stairs, and the jailor, had gone into the upper room, where his wife was, aud had got the keys. A large dog lay in front of the jail door. The jailor opened the heavy door, and then unlocked the grate, and swung it back. The supposed horse thief was told to go in by the jailor. This he demurred at doing, alleging that he did not desire to go in with "niggers." "There are no niggers there. We won't put you with niggers," said the jailor. "Is that abolitionist, Doy, here," asked one of the party. "Dr. Doy, you mean," said the jailor. "That's what we're after. Iu the name of an outraged community we demand his release," said another of the party.

The jailor turned, astonished, to the niol speaker, as if to demand the meaning of this, when that person said to him: "It's a mere ruse. Mr. Brown—wo have got you."

The jailor attempted to close the door, when the speaker drew his revolver, and, planting it at his breast, said: "That door can't be shut. We came here to release our friend, and have the power to do it."

Seeing himself powerless he then yielded, and Dr. Doy was taken from the prison. The othor prisoners desiied to escape one of them got his coat and tried to get out at the door. He was compelled to go back. The jailor begged that they at least would not let the other prisoners escape. Dr. Doy went down stairs to the other party. Then the other three followed down. Before leaving, one of our party told the jailor that we were determined to make the matter safe, that tho jail would be guarded, and that if he or any other ventured to loave it that night, or to raise an alarm, it would be at the peril of their lives.

Our party then left the jail. The clouds drifted over a little just about the moment of the occurrence, and showed the. streets more plainly. Many of the houses und business places weie still lighted and opon. Our party marched in solid form to the river, two of them bearing up Dr. Doy, who was unwell and weak from his confinement. On our way to the river two of the city night guard, with their lanterns, came up behind the party, and followed us to the river. We had previously found a couple of boats,' ,and had watched them during the afternoon and evening, so as to know that they would bo ready for our purpose. We embarked, tho policemen, with their lanterns, standing back a little distance and watching tho proceedings.— We rowed to the Kansas shore, and having reaohad it, started for ouf homes, and to take. Dr. Doy, to his home. \Ve were, followed all the first day by parties that we

supposed

to be enemies,

but they did not address our party. Having thus succeeded, happily and peacefully, in rescuing our fellow citizen, we respectfully cubroit these facts, and 19main «ati»fied with the share we-have had fa the "transaction

KANSAS, July 25th, 1859.

Douglas Stotli Fallitff in ludlnnA* An IndiaBtpolls correspondent of tho Washington Constitution, who is evidently a HINDRICKS man anil a Lecomptonite, writes:' "Set, it doWn aflfa fixed fa'(jt thdt the' next Staid Convention will be compos* ed of reliable Administraton Democrats, and no mistake." The same jubilant individuals gives the following report, at headquarters, of the recent exploit by which the Douglasites were "squelched" in Marion county: "The great contest was in the selection of delegates to the State Convention, which meets in January next, and part of whose duty it will be to select delegates to the Charleston Convention. Here the factionists tried their best to get an entrance to that Convention, but twelve solid national Democrats were selected, who will see that the right kind of delegates are sent to Charleston from this dis.trict." "When it is remembered that this is the headquarters of a few noisy factionists, who have given the party so much trouble in the State in the last two years by systematicefforts to pull down the National Administration, the 'importance of the result will be'appreciated. JfS significance is understood here *k will have an.important influence in the State,'.'

According to this account, the Little Rebel may consider himself fairly done for in Indiana.—Cin. Gazette.

WON'T SOMEBODY HOLD II11HI

Hon. Mr. Rbett made a speech on the 4th of july a Grahamsville, South Carolina, he did, and it was full of patriotism, it was, and he said many things that tickled the descendents of the tories amazingly. The speech, in a nut-shell, is "the Union is no longer desirable, therefore let her slide."

The Conservative, of Newbury, South Carolina publi*hen the speech with the following editorial endorsement:

Mr. Rhett's position is the only one a Southern statesman may safely occupy.— He does not look to the preservation of the Union as the first and paramouut good to be accomplished, but is pairs of its continuance. Seeing that it cannot be proserved by efforts of ours without involving a surrendering yf rights and a forgetfulness of our past glory, he is willing to let the Union slide in order that we may be preserved. If Unionists themselves would pause ari reflect, this would be their policy too for there is no surer uay to preserve the Union than for the Southern men to threaten, in earnest, its dissolution. In that event the compromises would come from the North and the South could dictate the terms. As matters now stand it is the part of the North to dictate the terms and the humiliating part of the South to acquiesce in her demands. And this will ever be the case so long as we put our trust in federal strategists who have all the tact that is requisite in leaders, without any of the principle which should characterize them. Look for a moment at the political leaders in the South. How many of them are worth the Southern bread they eat? The fewest possible imuiber. Th«y tire all democrats.

To us, democrat is becoming every day more synoymons with humbug. Donglas is a democrat. Senator this and Represenatitive that, Governor this and ex-Gover-nor that are democrats, and who in Heaveu's name is not a democrat? Democrats are common—common because they are so cheap. Il they were not so common they would be better off.

Such sentiments as there arc common in th8 South. They imagine that the North is made up of a set of ninnies who can be frightened into any measures by threats to dissolve the Union. Will the Conservative please call up this way regularly? We like the snap of it.—Ind. American.

The following minute discription of the murdered man found in Little Sugar Creek near Terre Uaute last week, given by the coroner, may afford a clue to trace the parties in this horrible affair, and we copy it for that reason:

On the 10th day of August, 1859, a man, whose name is, to the undersigned, unknown, was found dead in Sugar Creek Township, in this county, in Little Sugar Creek, about two and a half miles west of Terre Haute, The body, when found, was partly under water, the head, however, being out on the bank. The deceased had lost his left front upper teeth, and on his forehead, near the hair, there was a deep flesh wound. Tber was a pistol shot on the right side of the throat which was marked with powder. His eyes were dark hazel, had a roman nose, aud dark curly hair. He was about five feet eight inches high, spare built, and wonld weigh about 145 pounds.

When found, he had on no clothing but a shirt aud dark drawers made of cotton cloth. Clothes supposed to belong to the deceased were found on the bank near by, and were a gray coat of heavy woolen tweed, lined with lead colored lustre— sleeves lined with striped calico—dark wine colered vest lined inside with calico, back lasting buttons and vest nearly new— gray ca&sinet pants, striped up the leg— blue mixed woolen socks—dove colored gloves—new white cotton handkerchief with purple border—chip hat with a narrow black band—calfsk'n shoes about half woru. Also, one powder flask made of horn and filled with powder—one fine tooth comb—some bullets—some percussion caps—one pocket book with a two dollar bill on the Parke couuty Bank and eighteen cents in it, were found in the pockets. This pocket-book was marked th the initials, "I. B." At the feet of the deceased, in the water, was found one single barreled pistol. A dog, supposed to belong to the said deceased, has been taken in charge by the coroner, where he con be seen at his residence Oh Lafayette-street, in North Terre Haute—ho is a Shepherd dog.

and newupapef packages south'. A brief summary of her news has already been published, having been obtained off Cape race by the yacht of the Associated Press.

The following dispatch, which was received at Q.ueenstown the moment of her departme, furnishes advices a day later than was brought by the Vanderbilt:

LONDON, Aug. 4.

A dispatch from Paris says the French Adriatic squadron had returned to Toulon. Troops from Italy were continually arriving at Marseilles.

The funeral rites over the Sardinian and French soldiers, who fell in tho cause of Italy, were performed at Turin on the 3d.

A dispatch from Bologna says the Sardinian Commissioner, Marquis d'Azelio, had issued a proclamation announcing his recall, recommending the people to remain tranquil,-and promising in the name of Victor Ema'nuel to ou.deav.or. to obtain the concurrence of the Emperors of European nations for the accomplishment of just and reasonable wishes.

The ministry had convoked the National Assembly. Perfect order prevailed throughout.

The Duke of Granmont, the French Ambassador at Rome, had arrived at Paris.

The threatened strike in the building trade at London was I.e. oming serious. A meeting of several thousand workmen was held at Hyde Park, and speeches were made of an important character.

LATER FROM THE~GOLD MINES LEAVENWORTH, Aug. 16.— The Denver City Express of the 8th arrived this morning.

A nugget weighing fifty 6ix pennyweights was taken from the Nevada Gulch. Rich diggings have been discove.ed at the head waters of the Bayou Soloda.

Extravagant reports continued from the Colorado. A newspaper has been issued called the "Mountain City."

The State Convention, sitting at Auraria City, adjourned, having passed a State Constitution, the features of it are not given. The boundaries are from latitude 37 to 43, longitude 102 to 10.

A division ol sentiment existed as to the propriety of a State organization. The Convention voted to submit the question of Territorial or State organization at the same time.

ATLANTIC CABLES.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The statement of Mr. Seward, published in to day's Herald, contains an interesting fact connected with the working of Atlantic cables. It appears that the sum of $250.OOu WAS saved by the British government by being able to inform the Canadian authorities that two regiments of Canadian troops, which hail been ordered to England, were not wanted. The expenses attending their shipmen I were thus saved. This fact should be pufficieut to set at jeat tho doubts oi skeptics.

DRAINING A BWAUK—The Newcastle, la., Courier states that a company has been organized and a survey made, for the purpose of straightening the channel of Blue river for the distance of ten miles, and draining the marshy bottoms adjacent.— A ditch six feet wide at the bottom, and six feet deep, is to be sunk in tho stream iu as straight a line as possible, on the premies of each landholder, and this, it is thought, will reach far enough down to allow all the water of the swamps to run into it. The reclamation of hundreds ol acres of good land will be one good result and the lemoval of a fruiful sour.ee of agues and fevers, another.

The advance is on first and second class frieghts. on a basis of $1 25 to Cincinnati and 81 80 to St. Louis for first class. We hear that a convention is to be held at Niagara, some time this week, for the purpose of establishing a permanent arrnagement, when the preliminary schedule will bo continued, if not further advanced.

The following flattering notice is taken from the Portsmouth (Ohio) Scioto Valley Republican," of April 3, 1858.

SCANDINAVIA.—A friend writes to us for our "real opinion" of Dr. Roback's Scandinavian Remedies,—where he can obtain them—and why they are "Scandinavian," and we are frequently asked the same questions. Scandinavia is the ancient name of Sweden and Norway, and a Scandinavian, that is a Swede or Nonvegian, affeclioually calls his country "Scandinavian" in the same 6ettse a we speak of "Columbia," or "The Union." By the way, there are over nine thousand Scandinavian families in Dane County, Wisconsin. Although a citizen of this country for many yeard, Dr. Roback is a Swede by birth, and compounds his Medicines of Swedish herbs, we think the name is very appropriate.?— .VfctittTe the highest opinion of the Medicines, and of Dr. Roback himself, who is not ouly singularly fkillfnl, but a gentleman of the Old School', as we know personally.
