Courtenay has met his enemy squarely upon groun 1 of his own choosing,and gaind what we consider a decisive victory, his article is characterized by a better tone and more apparent coolness, It seems to us that in view of all the facts qf the case t|je President cannot possibly ap point Mr. MowTy to the Charleston Collectorship in spite qf a|l {.he politi cal ii)tlu ul> co which lie has been able In some mysterious manner, to secure, without closing his eyes tq the dam- Ugiqg facts contained fn Mowry’s own swqrn testimony before the Mas ter in Equity for Charleston county.

McCrady says, ‘‘would | give us a vast system of improved I turnpikes which would build up and j develop our resources far more than I any further extension of our rail roads,” and every one wlio reads his able and interesting argument will feel strongly disposed to accept bis conclusion. Gen. McCrady, as we understand him, does not oppose the construction or completion of through lines, especially by outsjde capitalists. •Such lines draw business from dis tant point*, and are. in large measure, independent of local trade and travel. It is undeniable that a stiort line to the West would he beneficial to the State, and well worth the amount of local capital required to ensure its construction. Tile subject is full of consequence to the ]>eople of this State und Air.

Just us the rope holdjng the balloon was past off to-day, the hot-air stove used in inflating the bal loon overturned and set the balloon on tire. The ball pop shot qp rapidly with Wm, Patterson in the basket. He wps afraid to jump and the bal loon was several hundred feet high when it collapsed.
