Knterprl?e.
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. In 1868, he sanded from Hull, E
land, ?nd attained the altitude ol 80,000 fee
height which he claims has never I
equalled, and beyond which be believes i
not given to man to go. 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.

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.
