The wind was high, nd I moved off rapidly in a northeasterly di lotion. I knew by the shouts of the pe >ple, di ich were given with a will, that my balloon scension thus far had proved satisfactory, and begnn to look around on thc grand scene resented io my view. Tho atmosphere was ?ry clear, giving mea prospect bounded only y tho horizon, which was sharply defined,, nd which presented a lino unbroken by any iiountuinous prop ctions around its entire cir unifotcnco. Tho whole face of thc country ppearcd exceedingly level, though ocoasion lly I saw some bills, but thc general appear ance was thut of a vast plain. I had a fine dew of tho city just ut the start, but in cpn ?equonce of moving r.wny so fast, I could but ?ntico its general appearance of regularity and icaliiess. Hearing a train of eua beneath, I ooked down and found that I had overtaken ;l|C Charleston train, and wus having a lively "Ooo with them. They tried hard, as I havo^ lince learned, to keep up with mc, but in vain ; [.crossed thc road diagonally, and left them ?.way bebiud. At half-past 4, I hod,roached, the height of ono mile, and feeling a iittlo chilly, put on my overcoat. To tho loft of my course, I saw three villages-thoy woro Gran ?toville, Aiko.n oqd BluckvlUo. Tho general flippearaoce of thc couotry was ns if the wholo face of it had boon onoo ? completo forest, nnd spaces made hero and thorn by dearing off tho timber, thus loavin? the 'groat'moss of woodsy and dotting tito country o\or with plantations. Occasionally I- carno low enough to hear voices of persons below, but though I tried repeatedly to get somo inforolation of my whereabouts, I failed to olieit'any responso to my questions. As I poBsod Over ono house I felt qoitc sure that thodwollersth?r?in had roooivod a terrible soaro^ for $he, women were screaming in a tembl? manner, aided, by, a singlo o?alo voice. Too wind boro mo rapidly by.tho..place, omi I had my quiot lough at tholr cxpouso, when I saw n flash oosr.tho door, of tho house, followed by tbq .report;of ft, gun. I havo no doubt tho shot wad intended for thc balloon, but I waB out of the rc h of any ordinary gun, and so. had another "laugh to mysojf. 1 hoard a nnmbbr of shpts fired duripg the trip, ^ut supposed thoy we're ctthor fired, by huntsmen, or else sintply to attract my atjton^p'n. ?t proois??y fivo o'clook, I orossed tho South ?Jprollno ftatlroad ' about eight or ten miles southeast of Blackville. T saw no moto 'villages after this } tho country h a da sameness of ob arno ter, Varying only in showing a greater numbed of plantations and n largor oreti of woodlands. As a ?ail on the water, isa good nppotizor, io is ? voyage in tho air, nSul thia was no exooption. Being little sund occasionally, fur tho sun was get ting lowor, hntTthe gas that had boon tunned by its roys was cooling and condensing, thus gradually losing a portion of its buoyancy. Night was approaching; and, though I felt sure that it should bo nfooniight, I looked in vain for that silvery orb. Thinking I must bo mistaken, I thought of landing without further dolay, and looking below found that thc sun's rays had loft tho earth, though it was still shining on tho balloon ; in passing over some wator almost dirccily beneath me tho reflection of tho moon on its surface, bright as th%original,!caught .my oyo,; thc bhlloon. had hidden it from mo, so I continued cm. my journey. During tho daylight I had noticed smoko curling from tho woods in ninny places, but now all over the country, near and fur, tho .fires could bo sden, fairly sprinkling the earth with lights ; in som* places they were so hu morous and near togethoY that they gnvo in tho distance tho exact appearance' of a large city, with its thousands of gas-lights. I thought at tho time, however, that no mutter how fino to look upon, they would bo danger ous places to oomo in contact with when land ing. I lookod at my compass occasionally, I ard sometimes found myself going north of east and sometimes southeast, tho upper cur rent carrying mo in ibo latter direction, I did not know my exact whereabouts, but'T hoped I was norning Charleston, andrus caused mo to continue the'voyage longer than I otherwise should have dono.

I now allowed the balloon w j settle gradually, with thc view of landing w s soon us an opportunity offered. 1 floated |t lonur some time, however, before a clearing ?,1 ame in my way; when this came nt last in |< ne shape of a field walled around by a thick tl foods. Tho rate of speed ut which I was p ravelling and tho uncertainty with which ti icight is measured by tho eye in thc absence ii f daylight, showed mc the difficulty of land- n ng under such circumstances. The attempt w vas made, however, but without success, just y ouching the tree tops on the opposite side of bo lot. I lind one bag of ballast left. It K va3 immediately thrown over nud kept thc p ia) loon out id* tho trees for awhile, but it soon v icttled again und brushed the tops of livo or ? lix pines, causing it to rebound from fifty to ii i hundred feet. This brought to view an- 1 jtber field just ahead, on which wore a mun- | ? bor of naked dead pines. To have tho bal- t loon impaled ou oue of these is probably thc ( most duugcrous position in which the aeronaut t oould bc placed, and I would much rather ( havo taken thc chances among tho grcon pines, \ but my ballast was gone. I quickly let go t my drug rope hoping to clear them by letting j tho ropo drug instead of currying its dead woight itt tho basket, but it was not enough, andjn another moment tho 'Hyperion' dashed 1 broadside against one of tho . tallest of thoso fiendish-looking skclotous and waa fastened in , its arma; thc tliddon eeqopo of till tho gus J must of course follow, and what then ?

Thc Sew Age-To What i* thc World Tending? . Tho history of mankind ns far ns wc know it up to tho present ago, has boon but thc in troductory chapter of tho great volumu of tho nineteenth century and to tho wonderful fu ture that is just opontng. The old saying that history repeats itself is no longer truo, except in a limited sense, for tho extraordi nary discoveries in science and thc social, po litical and material developments of tho pres ent time are unlike any that have occurred before. Tn truth, this is a new agc, s? now and surprising, and so far in advance of any preceding one that those who boliovc in a millennium have no difficulty in fixing this ns the period for 'tho regeneration of tho world and for thc coming of that new heav en and earth foretold in thc Apoer.lypso. Hut wo shall not go into thc mysteries of pro phecy or into speculations about theological or spiritual matters 1 wc shall treat of fnois only nnd tho deductions to bo drawn from thom. Those who love to cont?mplate things of antiquity or to. study and dwell on ancient history often profess to lind a superior civili zation in the past. They go back to Egypt, to Grecco nnd to Homo, and attempt to show that wc arc only not in ad vaneo of these countries when they had reached thc highest poiut of tlalr civilization, but that wo aro be hind them. This, however, is a barrow and shortsighted view of tho matt?r, and shows that these lovers of antiquity do notcompre hond thc mighty agencies and wonderful pro y, ?f modern civilization. Tho ^ffosVl/tiGiv.- , " . ... r , . , . ' vt" civilizations rccor id m history or on monumcntt^.. , ''uoturcs is int of Egypt, and no doubt this is t??c c. r nothing has boen discovered to show th-.., , ly nation before tho Egyptians lind attained^ latoknowlcdgc and tho arte of lifo Which i > ?ustitute civilization as nowyundcrsloQd. lt, ho Ilifbi^i. ^fcre only pnstorul tribjsJbc?ojc*s, icy went to'Egypt. '/iib' Cl?ibfsc, timagh % icy boast of a civilization dating bock before y} ie Egyptians, have nb right to claim that, 0| ul though they have a pcouliar civilization a, f their own they ave not yet a civilized peo- u le in thc European and highest sense of thc p ?rm. Egypt made some progress in the arts Lta f building,sculpture, agriculture and even in c tcrnture. The Pyramids and her vast and ^ orgorous temples attest this. These struc- ii ires show, too, some knowledge of science as r 'di ns a good deal of art. Still, massive and j nduring ns these ore, they arc comparatively.. e ude and lack the highest character of ni t.- j? 'hey show also that thc mass of tho people c rcrc ignorant slaves, and that state of things ras incompatible with a high civilization. t .nc same remarks apply to thc great Rabylo- ( dan and Assyrian empires. Their civiliza- , ion was such of tho same character. The j Tews were in advance of all the people of an- x ?ient times in the superiority of their religion y ind in their code of civil and moral laws, but ? ? 'rom this exclusiveness, their peculiar theo- | >r?tib system and narrow views, never attain-] . id great proficiency in science and nrt. Thc j , j reeks reached thc highest point of civiliza ,ion in ancient times. Their superb struc tures and exquisite sculpture have never beon surpassed,-and have remained tho models of benuty and skill for all succeeding ages, lt was in Greece, too, that tho domocratio and ic publiaan principles of government arose and received their development. Not ouly wcro tho arta of poaoc and war known there j not )nly lind litoraturo, philosyphy, poetry and jloqucucp reached tho highest point, but science, whioh distinguishes in such a remark ?blo manner tho present agc, began to bo un folded there. Home, that mighty Power of | :hc past, took tho various phases of proceed ing civilizations and moulded and adapted thom, to her own peculiar oiroumstanccs. Rome bcoatno grcut a}so in art, particularly in thc art of, war, and greater than any forpi or nation in statesmanship, in her admirable laws, and in government. The literature of Home, too, liko that of Greece, wijl exist forever, to show tho civilization attained, in thoso times, tfroiu tho period when Homo declined tho world passed through a long night of intellectual darkness and stagnation. It was not until England began to emerge from feudal and religious dispositisra, till tho. freo cominoroial oities of Italy sprang into; existence, and till com meroo began it3 civili zing influonco, that the light of thc past re vived and that ? new light bcgao. ?o shed ita power ovbr Europe. , We might notice tho progress made from that period, the discove ries io sotonoe, tho intellectual giants--such ,a? Newton, Shakespeare and ethers that, illu minated tho world -the sproail of navigation and commercial cntorprijo to all parts of the globe, with tho discovery of Am?tioa* but theso would not oems within the Hmits of ari editen il drlifoe/Wdevcry teadorW Mho rVU'famihir ?Uh the tacts. ?H thc events arid progress to whioh we have adverted Rcein to point to these latter days, and appear to have been ordainedSby Providence as preparatory to this new ago-! to the wonderful developments of tho nine teenth century. The civilizatou of Greece or Homo-and that was tho highest of ancient times -cannot be compared with ours of tho present day. Tho most intellectual people of former times never drcamed of the magnetic telegraph, of that steam power which now circumnavigates thc globo and'uh?t?S all tho nations of the world, of the Tailroad which spans continents and covers the territory/of all civilized nations like network, nod of that wonderful printing press which diffuse intel-, ligenco nil ovor the" earth, Uko tho ftght'of thc sun nud almost as rapidly. 'Tho conti nents which now hold i?stant?noous converso with each other through submerged thread? of wire were not known even to tho ancients. Countries and people remote from each other arc brought io communication more easily than neighboring towns were a few years ago. Look also at thc thousands of inventions in machinery, which perform inprc work than, all thc combined labor of mankind could, and at the manufactures, which have given a now phase to life and which have enlarged com merce to n degree that no one formerly could believed possible. We mig't refer to th? almost godlike, power of man in modero times in exploring tho bowols of tho earth and realms of spuce, in counting tho years of ago j of tho globe, in annlizing tho roys of tho tun and telling the composition of that body, end iu all the astonishing discoveries in eliomis, try and other branches of science, ns ovidence of the incomparable superiority of tho present over every preceding age; but it is only necessary to call attention to faots so well known. Tho most important feature of our modern civilization, however, is the social and.* n?lit^el revolution which has been eflected"" iu ,u Uleb ?s. still goj?;oh./iItT^?or^er ?

Now the rights and power of the peo lo oro generally acknowledged; yes, even odor jnonarohioal forms of government, Where onccssions of politioal rights have to bo. 'rung from tho rulers. Under the potent nftuence of tho telegraph, press, steam com nuuicution and thc other agencies of this age ho mases of mankind arc becoming enlighte ned, thc principles of politioal equality are icing universally ;diffused, and rulers in sdi ivilizod countries htivo to yield to the voioe ,f the people.. Still, wc soe only tho dawn of bc future. Tho mighty revolution has only ommenced. All the nations and races of nankind will be brought in close communie? iori with one another, intelligence will be niiversully diffused, modern civilization will iprcad over the whole face of tho globe, polit* cal power will be used through and for the jenefit of thc masses, thc financial, theories, ind systems of tho past will bo revolutionized md science will unveil more and more the, secrets of nature. This is no faucy picture? These must be the inevitable-.results of mod orn progress.
