remind as loo strongly of the quarter whence
we came. Accordingly more ballast was dis-
poaad of. Tbe balloon rceponded to tbe wish
expressed and roee up to tbe dear inane until
aaatters and things underneath began to look
rather indistinct. Great lakes dwindled into
mere wash-tuba, and big bayous dwarfed to an
utter eontcmptibility. Owing to tbe eatmneas

night; and anoordtugly, the beat plaoe
•MUe was aeleoted and the baUaon lowered in-
to a swamp not Car from a bayou or canal, skir
ted with oano, brash and ootton wood. The
party, whioh consisted of a lady and two gentle-
men, beside M. Godard, waited patiently until
tbe auehor bad taken bat bold of tbe brush,
and then wtarted for the levee. Tbe locality
waa utterly unknown; but se nobouseeeould be
aeen in any direction, acamjmoMitf became a
-4ootorito. Aoeordingly, while two of the gen-
tlemen detached tbe oar from the balloon and
let np tbe latter aa far as the eable would per
mit, tbe third made a ire, and lbs lady began
to make preparations for supper- Darkness

bright fire burning pilee of fuel oollooted, and
* rude table set out with claret, cake and cham-
pegne; roast dusk, gelattne, ham, bread, and
other aimilar eatables and drinkables.
After supper tbe party gathered around the
ire and disensead matters and things in gene
ral, especially where they ware and bow they
ehould get back. The prospeet waa certainly
anything bat plceaunt, but was mat with all the'
bonhomie and good nature that distinguisht*

Washington oorrespondont of the Charleston
Standard writes aa follows:
Tim unexpected return of the U. 0, Bain-
bridge, from tbe Brasil atation, baa created quite
a stir in naval ciralaa. It appear* that Lieut C.
(Almarado) Hanter, who waa in oommand of
the Bainbridfl*, was deairoua of going to Para-
Say to forcibly interfere against the loael au-
oritiea in behalf of Oopsul Hopkins and hi
brother, Who have rcocntly had some serious
diflionldee then. Tho Commodora of theaquad-
ron did not deem it advisable to isaae (be aoo-
eesary orders for auoh a atop, and ao the apiey
Lieutenant took the responaibility of putting up
his helm and coming home to nport to th« Sco-

letter from Utah Territory:
I ban never before appreciated the troubles
of frontier Hfo. All the town aouth of thr Bait
Lake City are completely overrun with Indiana,
who keep the aettlon entirely under their

females and frighten tbeat into submission.—
They gn into the fields, steal tbe wheat, and
take it to themiUer. When tbe griat ia ground,
they ight with the miller if he require* nii toll.
The people make them presents oontinually,and
