Aboutitiitu mootiio sft-v a-fwngiapu ui a HA NZWB announced the arrival upon our shores ; of a. balloonist of the name, of. Chevalier, who WM going to make an aerial voyage from New York to Europe. MKJIt people recalls the fate : of similar previous projects, and dis mi ss ed Chevalier, from mind as a humbug. Mons. Chevalier, however, little recked what people ; said about him, indeed does not appear to have oared whether the general public said or knew anything at all of him, for scarcely a word in his behalf has been seen in the pxblio prints from that day to this. Meanwhile 1 e has been consulting with gentlemen whose c. sstenanoe and support are wot th having-such 'men as Prof. Doremos, and Prof. Henry, of the Smith? sonian Institute, and a number of solid men of means, and to-d\ j.the great enterprise is Bald to be in a most auspicious state-the balloon and ita appurtenances in oomple order, the connection with the gas {apes for supplying gas, made at Landman's Park, New York, and the period of departure definitely fixed for about the middle of July. WHO IS CHEVAXXEB ? He was horn in St. Petersburg in 1836, being the son of an officer of the Busman army. The Emperor Alexander himself stood godfather at his ohriBtening ; but Moue. Chevalier claims a closer relationship to the Czar than that of godson even, for his mother was an Ano wirk fi; which is the firmly narr.o of the Grand Duke Constantine, who ought, by the rights of de? scent, to be on the throne instead of the pre? sent Autocrat. After having gone through' the wars against Scbamy), the Circassian, with his father, young Cbeva'ier was taken to Switzer? land by h s mother, where he was placed in the University of Geneva, to be educated for a sn goon. He finally abandoned surgery, however, tor chemistry and metallurgy, and eventually followed hiB brother to Australia, where they engaged in mining. DJ a few years he had returned to Paris, where, in 1862, he was studying photography with Nadar and Disderi. From the days of his student life he had e. penchant for aerostation, and bad lavished bis patrimony on balloons of all shapes and vat ie ties-fish-shaped, bird-shaped, cigar Bhaped, cylindrical, w. th machinery and with? out, but beyond the gratification of his taste for ballooning study?"and no result save the reduction of his fortune. He finally made one invention in his art, however, which will give bim an enduring fame, and which goes far to? ward assuring the success of his perdions en? terprise of traversing the wide Atlantic. Ibis was the "compensator" balloon-a small reser? voir balloon placed beneath the mouth cf the main balloon to receive the gas which escapes by expansion in high latitudes, and which in ordinary balloons is lost, lt was during bis stay in Paris with Na Jar that Chevalier engag? ed in the greatest ballooning leat in history, the voyage of THE FAMOUS BALLOON "LE GEANT." The remarkable incideute of the ascent of | "Le Geant," which took place in Pans in 1864, are doubtless fresh in tho memory of many of j our readers. Chevalier had with him as com? pagnons da voyage, tho Princess Da Ja Tor" D'Auvergne, a then famous "girl of tho period," Nadar, M. Deleeeert, the two brothers Godard, M. Tirion. great-grandson of Aiongol fier, and M. De ?St. Felix. "Le Geant ' was one hundred and ninety-five feet in heightb, held 650,000 cubic feet of gas, and was of such tre? mendous power that previous to the final start it took up fifty-tour soldiers of the National Guard, or as many as could be packed into tho car and its riggine. The balloon wee provided tor the voyage with india-rubber beds, a print? ing press, irom which bulletins in the shape of j printed handbills were scattered ont during the progress of the voyage, with directions in several languages to toiward them io Paris and Londoe, a complet? photographic apparatus, and a set of the best astro? nomical instruments, presented by vinous ecieo tifie societies. "Le Geant" left Pans at 5 F. M., on the 16th of September. The same n ght, at 10 o'clock, its electric lights attract? ed the attention of the guard on a boundary post between Holland and Germany, who in? formed the balloonists that that they were seven hundred miles from home. They then nscended again, and during the night Cheva? lier had the proud pleaauro of seeing the value of his compensator balloon practically de? monstrated, as it was at ono time half full of j gas that would otherwise have been lost, and rendered further progress impossible. The landing was effected the next day, at 8 o'clock, not without serous casualties, however, as the PnnccBS, Nadar, St. Felix. Delessert and Chevalier, all had limbs broken, and were otherwise seriously hurt. The balloon had traversed fifteen hundred miles in fifteen hours. Several other ascents of Chevalier'? have be came bistorioal. In 1867 he crossed the Eng? lish channel from Dublin, landing in West? moreland after a sail of 164 miles, done in four hoare.

He was privilege! witness on this occasion phenomena hith< unrecorded, but it was at the expense of most acute suffering. At tba height of 14 feet breathing became d?fflcnlt, and ec pigeons be bad with him ?were unable fly; at 80,000 feet the blood started from ev nore of his body, as well an, from nose, e and ears, and his clothes werf saturated. BOW IHK ATLANTIC VOfAOX [a TO BE AGO PTiTBHTQ. j ? M. Chevalier has made 1,63 balloon voyaf and may be presumed to have a mod?r?t good understanding of the difficulties Inblc a voyage across the Atlantic. He decla that these difficulties are not peculiar to Atlantic voyage, except as it ls one of onus extent and duration. They naturally rai themselves un 1er two heads? viz: 1. Maintaining the buoyancy of the bailo 2. Keeping to a direct coarse. The great cause of the diminution of i buoyancy of the balloon is the raising a fal lin sr m the altitude of ita course. Ia l case of the ordinary balloon, every flight abc the average level coste an expenditure both gas and ballast. The faa is lost by < pansion and consequent overflowing from t mouth of the balloon, tho loss of gae tt os uses the balloon to sink below the cour which in turn compels the throwing out ballast to bring it up again. Ihe loss of g in fluctuations is a very serious considerad in the case of a balloon of the size of that which Professor Chev ilier is to make his trai Atlantic trip. "L'Esperance," for that is ; name, has a capacity for 80,010 feet of cae. the height of 30,000 feet the atmospheric prc sore is, say one-tenth less the surface of t earth, and the gas consequently expands or tenth in volume at that deration. If eve time Chevalier's balloon should rise 3000 fe it were to lose one-tenth of its con tents, eqa to ninety-six pounds sustaining power, would not be two days before L'Espcran would sink into the sea, nevcr to rise again. HOW THE OAS AND BALLAST ARE SAVED ? It is here thai M. Chevalier's own in ventio the "compensator" balloon, ?ornes into pla Attached to the lower part of L'Esp?rance is second or reservoir balloon, which is not i flated at the earth, but is ready to receive tl excess of gas resulting from expansion at bit elevation. Professor Che va lier has also devis* an ingenious contrivance to secure a rebout of tbs balloon from the depression consequei upon one of these flights without any expend tore of ballast, which, of coarse, is most pr clous on a long ocean trip. Across the "boo to whioh is fastened the netting that cove; the balloon above and the ear below, he hi extended a windlass made of .a hollow oylinde A rope of sufficient strength and len ct h is a taohed to and wound upon this windlass, i the lower extremity of the rope are fastend at proper intervals, a number of small wats proof canvas bags, whose months are kei open by small rings. Between these at state distances are disposed a number of small coi i cal floats, which are intended to serve the pu pose of supporting the length of rope when reaches the sea by the depression of the ba loon. As the balloon desosnds the lower poi tion of tho rope is gradually deposited upc the surface of ihe sea, relieving the balloon < its weight, until a sufficient quantity has bee thus disposed of to arrest the balloon's fur tbi descent. 8uppose the balloon to have passe through rain showers or doods highly charge with va pea* during the night, and (he ropes i the netting and other parts' of the appara?t to have become heavy with moisture. Not lei than 200 or 800 pounds weight is' often addc to a balloon in this manner, and if there be c son to dry np the moisture the added weigl brings tbe balloon to the earth. As soon, hov CT ci, aa tura fogs nom au a? M -imagycrmtn. begins to trail on the surface, the balloo ceases to fall, and continues on ita way at a unvarying elevation until th* sun or wind take the heavy moisture oat of Ike. rigging, whe ahe.ie enabled to regain tar?VariO?s,jkiUfcUd in tbeslnrs. Nov; ?gain the rope ?rte**? check to a too a teat ascent -with its attends ii loss of gas. The water bags on the rope hav been filled as they were trailed through th water, and the increased weight prevents nigh flight, and keeps the balloon down to he work, BO to speak, with the whole origina power or buoyancy of the rebound. By tbi simple and beautiful arrangement of tberop with its water-bags, the ballast of tbe bailooi is diminished or increased at will; indeed th ballast adjusts itself without the lnterventioi of the aeronaut, according to the necessity o the moment Prof. Chevalier is coundon that by means of the compensator and tb rope ballast with such a balloon as L'Es per ance, constructed for the occasion, e lev?t: oi can be maintained for a period of one monti Should circumstances require it.' ? HOW THE DIRECTION IB PRESERVED. The second ot the two great problems of th? undertaking is how to keep thc balloon on i direct course. Chevalier is not by any meant a viotim to a belief in ballooo-navigation. L fact, he has a perfect contempt for the balloon considered as an air-ship, and says it is coot for no thing but tor the purpose of seien ti tic observatiot. A balloon, be anys, so far fros berne a ship is not even a buoy let loose Iron its moorings ; J or a buoy floats on the surface but the aerial sea bas no surface. A balloon says the Professor, is a jelly-fish immersed it a fluid by whoso every current it is helplessly carried to and fro ; tho jelly-fish makes feeble efforts tb direct ils own cnn se, with about as much success as those of a balloon. H o w.t. .a, is M. Chevalier to know when he ascends fron: Landmann'a Park next Joly, whether he is about, to cross the Atlantic or the Pacific ? Thc answer is, that though Chevalier does not bi? li eve in balloons, he does believe in currents. In every ascent during his long career, he eavs, he found on reaching an altitude any? where between 3000 and 10,003 feet that the wind was invariably from the west or rather from tho northwest ; however way the wind was blowing near tbe ground, in each of his ono hundred and sixty-five ascents he found a northwest carrent in tho upper atmosphere. Chevalier believes this current to be a discovery of his own, and it is for tbe gloiy of establish? ing his theory, rather than of sailing three or four thousand milos over the water, (?vhidi he rep. arda oui to an e very-day affair) that ho un? dertakes bis balloon voyage from North Amer? ica to Europe. THE GUIDE BOFE. He will be greatly assiated in determining the actual coarse which his balloon may be at any time pursuing by tho rope suspended from the car, described above Ai th J rope, when touching the water, will always drag ia the rear, it will only bo necessary to observe its direction by the compass, and that of the balloon itself is at once indicated. Auother equally important determination which the cuide rope will afford, and wbich will not ba attainable by any other means, will be the distance at which tho balloon is from the im? mediate surface of tbe earth at any time when the view is obstructed by clouds, fog or dark? ness. The baromoter affords information only os to the heigbt above elie mean level ot the sea, and, without thc warning given by the guido rope, the balloon might at any time, when sailing too low, bo dashed against mountainous waves; and, owing to the volocity with which it would be moving ou the wings of a storm, such a shock would be fatal. FINAL PREPARATIONS FOB THE VOYAGE. Mons. Chevalier may bo seen almost any morning quietly at work putting the finishing touches on his balloon at Landmann's Paik. Ho is a quiet, unobtrusive, yet prepossessing young man of 83 years, of dark complexion and with black bair and moustache. Ho hus a largo and kindly blick eye, and a countenance which imprsssas one that its owner is a stranger to physical fear. He converses and writes in ex? cellent English, though he spanks and writes in French, German and Russian as well, ile is very communicative and entertaining in elu? cidating his plans and theories. He bas not yet determined as to how many and what com? panions he will take alons with him on bis voyage. Thu applications lor passage on the raro but periUous journey have been pouring in on him by hundreds. An opportunity to try tho accommodations ot thc ship will bo given these aspiring c . ndidates for aeronautic fame during tho several preliminary ascents at the end of a rope which will be made at Land? mann's Park next week. The final varnishing of the balloon bas just been complet ed, the valve was being adjusted yesterday, and tho Professor is busy with the maze of knotted cordage winch forms the rigging of the silken ship. A life-raft has been presented L'Esp?? rance whioh will be suspended beneath the car of the bailo >n in readiness foi use slould the aeronaut find it desirable to toke to the watery element. The balloon is 96 feet high, 65 feet in diameter and has a buoyancy capable of ene tainin? 8 tons. GRANT AND THE SOUTH. General Butler, the Pre rident and the Southern 8 tm te a. A Washington telegram te the Baltimore Son says : In consequence of the absence of the Presi? dent there was no Cabinet meeting to-day. It has been suggested in certain journals that when the Cabinet again convenes the Butler proposition, which is substantially to declare martial law in the Southern States, will be con? sidered. From one of the members of the Cabinet it is learned that there is no founda? tion for the above quoted statement. It is true, as telegraphed henoe, that General Butler did actually urge some snob extreme measure in an interview he had with General Grant last Saturday. The President heard the sugges? tions respectfully, but did not indicate what, if any. opinion he had formed on the subject. As General Grant now very rarely acta upon bis own motion ia important measures, but is governed generally by the decision of his Cabi? net council, there is no probability that he will take any further notice of General Butler's Srepositions, for the reason that every merri? er of the administration very well knows that the Executive bas no authority in the matter of local disturbances in States until called upon by the at a te authorities for Federal assistance, in the mode plainly indicated in the constitu? tion. No such constitutional steps have been taken by any State officers, and no such course is expected now, as it bas become well estab? lished that no extraordinary resistanceof civil authonties exists, nor have recently taken place in any of the States of the Union. ^General Butler's proposition, coming from hun, does not surprise those wno understand and properly appreciate him. He bas been guilty of more bold legal heresies than any public man who professes to be a lawyer, and no good lawyer here wonld be willing to risk his reputation on an endorsement of General Butler's legal opinion, where matters of politi? cal interest intervene. THE RAILROAD DIFFICULTY.'. [From the Augusta Constitutionalist} The presence in our city yesterday of'Presi? dent Magrath of the South Carolina Railroad Company, with a committee of directors from Charleston, gave rise to a variety of rumors on the vexed subject ot 'the railroad compa? nies, and the likelihood of an amicable adjust? ment. From'all we can gather on anything like au? thority, it seems that the basis of a settlement proposed last week, and thought to be accept? able to parties in interest in this city, which compromised the whole litigation by the pay? ment of $100 OOO in Columbia and Augusta Bailroad bonds at par to the South Carolina Railroad Company, nas not been further acted upon by thc City Council, and consequently no reply made to that proposal. Instead ot which a formal offer has been made by Council to purchase a certain amount of stock in the Ma? con Road from the South Carolina Railroad Company at its coat, payable m bonds of Au? gusta and Colombia Bailroad Company at par, by which purchase it waa expected that the South Carolina Railroad would forego all claims and privileges, also allow the free use of its bridge, and several miles of track, until the 1st January, 1870, to the Columbia Baad. Sicco writing tho above, we have the beet, authority for saying that yesterday afternoon President Magrath authorized a proposal to the City Council of Augusta, which, if accept? ed, must practically end the controversy. It is said to be a direct off-hand offer that the South Carolina Bailroad Company w?l waive all claims against the city, growing out of the contract made in 1860 with Council (which in? volves the amount of principal and interest in ^B^W^^l?toh^e^^ the South Carolina Bailroad, and that company to bind itself not to interfere with the Columbia and Aug na ta Railroad's crossing the river into Augusta. The South Carolina Bailroad tobare tm mSBtlltTlghta f?UtMUm lt, an*Aw tba future to be on a common footing with all o.uer railroads entering or passing through tbis city. If it be in accordance with the policy of the city, and publio opinion here is really in earn? est m encouraging as many roads to come to Augusta as may wish to seek us, it would seem that this proposition is fair and equitable to all concerned in the issues pending in the matter. THE PRESBYTERIANS. The Vegotiatloni for Kennion Between the Old Behool and New School A ssem bliee. In the New School General Assembly, in New York city, on Monday, Bev. Dr. Darling, chair? man of the Committee on Answers to the Over, tures for Bennion by the last Assembly, made the following report: The special committee appointed to collate the answers of Presbyteries to the overture on the subject of reunion sent down to them by order of the last Assembly, respectfully re? port: That one hundred Presbyteries have ex? pressed their approval, giving their consent to the reunion of tte two branches of the Pres? byterian Church in the United States on the basis proposed by the joint committee of thir? ty, and approved by the two meetings in May, 1868, respectively in Albany, N. Y., and Har? risburg, Pa. Four Presbyteries have answered the over? ture in the negative-District of Columbia, De? troit, Washtenaw and Chicago. At the afternoon session on Tuesday, Dr. Fisher read a report on the conference with other Presbyterian bodies. Delegates from the Old and New Schools, and from other bodies, met and unanimously agreed that a reunion was moat desirable, if the wey was clear. The following four points were submitted as a b isis of reunion : First The Old and New Testament are ac? cepted os the rule of faith. Second. The Westminster Confession and Catechism, slightly modified, as far as regards the civil law, is adopted as the full and accu? rate interpretation of the Holy Writ. Third. The united church is to accept the Presbyterian form of government. Fourth. Tbe united church accepts the Psalmody, and prescribes its use. The report was referred to the standing com? mittee on reunion. .^CREDITORS' NOTICE.-ALL PERSONS indebted to Hr. GEOBQE H. OBUBEB are requested to make payments to either. Ur. GEORGE E.
