Mons. Chevalier's Balloon Trip Across the Atlantic from New York-A Pantons Aeronaut-Il ts Previous Exploit a Plans and Preparations xor tne Great Enterprise. About three months ago a paragraph in THE NEWS announced the arrival upon our shores of a balloonist of the name of Chevalier, who was going to make au aerial voyage from New York to Europe. Moat people recalls the fate of similar previous projects,* and dismissed Chevalier, from mind as a humbug. Mons. Chevalier, however, little recked what people Mid about him, indeed does not appear to have cared whether the general public said or know anything, at all of him, for scarcely a word in his behalf haa been seen in the public priuts from that day to this. Meanwml? he has been consulting with gentlemen whose countenance and support are woi th having-such men as. Prof. Doremus, and Prof. Henry, of the Smith-' sonian Institute,' and a number of solid men of means, and to-day the great enterprise ie Said to be in a most auspicious state-tho balloon and ita appurtenances in oomple order, the connection with the gae pipes for supplying gas, made at-Landsman's Park, Mew York, and the period of departure definitely fixed for about the middle of July. WHO IS CHEVALIER ? i He was boru in St. Petersburg in 1836, being the sen of an officer of the Russian army. The Emperor Alexander himself stood godfather at his christening ; but Mons. Chevalier claims a close relationship to the Czar than that of godson even, for his mother was an Anowfriefi; which is the family name of the Grand Duke Constantine, who ought, by the rights of de? scent, to be on the throne matead of the pre? sent Autocrat. After having gone through the wars against Sohamyl, the.Circassian, with" his father, young Uheva'ier was taken to Switzer? land by,U s mother, where he was placed in the University of Geneva, to be educated for a su - geon. He finally abandoned surgery, however, lor chemistry and metallurgy, and eventually followed his brother to Australia, where they engaged in mining. In a few years he; had returned te Paris, where, in 1862, he was studying photography with Nadar andDis?eri. From the days of his student life he had a penchant for aerostation, and had .lavished his patrimony on balloons of all shapes and varieties-fish-shaped, bird-shaped, ciprar ahaped, cylindrical, w. th machinery and with? out, but be j on d the urra titivation of hie taste for ballooning study, and no result save the reduction cf his fort one. He finally made one invention in his art, however, which will give him on enduring fame, and whioh goes far to? ward assuring the .success of his peruioua en? terprise of traversing tbe wide Atlantic. This was the "compensator"balloon-a small reser? voir balloon placed beneath tho mouth of the main balloon to reoeive the gas whiob esoapes by expansion in high latitudes, and which in ordinary baboons is lost, lt was during bis stay in Paris with 'Vadar that Chevalier engag? ed in tbe greatest ballooning feat in history, the voyage of THE FAMOUS BALLOON "LE GEANT." The remarkable incidents ef the ascent of "Le Geant," which took place in Pans in 1864, are doubtless fresh in the memory of many of our readers. Chevalier had with him as com? pagnons du, voya ?je t the Princess De la Tour D'Auvergne. . a then famous "girl of tho period," Nadar, M. Deleasert, the two brothers Godard, M. Tirion, great-grandson of Mongol fler, and M. De St. Felix. "Le Geant ' was one hundred and ninety-five feet in beightb, held 650,000 cubic feet or gas, and was of soon tre? mendous power that previous to the final start it took np fifty-four soldiers of the National Guard, or as many as could be packed into the ear and its rigging. The balloon ?aB provided for the voyage with india-rubber beds, a print? ing press, ?rom whioh bulletins io the shape ef printed handbills were scattered out during the progress of the voyage, with directions m several languages to forward them to Paris; and London, a complete photographic apparatus, and a set of the beet astro? nomical instruments; presented by various scientific societies. "Lo G?ant* left Pam at 5 P.M., on tho 16th of September. The saino n'ght. at 10 o'clock, ita electric lights attract? ed the attention ot the guard on a boundary post between Holland and Germany, who in? formed tho balloonists th ab that they were seven hundred miles from home. They then ascended ?gain, and during the night Cheva? lier had the proud pleasure of seeing the value of hi? compensator balloon practically de? monstrated, aa it was at one time half full of [ gos that would otherwise have been lost, and ! rendered further progrese Impossible. The landing was effected the next day, at 8o'clock, not without " serious wsaualtiety- however, as gm Princess, Nadar, St. Felix. Deleasert and hevalier, all had limbs broken, and were otherwise seriously hurt. The balloon bsd traversed fifteen hundred miles in fifteen hours. Several other ascents of Chevalier's have be? come historical. In 1867 he crossed the Bog lish channel from Dublin, landing in West? moreland, after a sait of IN mites, done in four hoars. In 1868, he ascended from Hull, Eng? land, and attained the altitude of 80,000 feet, a height which he claims has never been equalled, and beyond which he believes it ls not given to man to go. He was privileged to witness on this oocasion ' phenomena hi th or Lo unrecorded, but it was at the expense of the moat aoute suffering. At the height of 14,000 feet breathing became difficult, and some pigeons he had with bim wore onable to fly; at 80,000 feet the blood started from every nore of his body, as well as from nose, eyes and ears, and his clothes yere saturated. ?

Chevalier has mader 165 balloon voyages, and may be presumed toihave a moderately good understanding of the difficulties hable to a voyage across the Atina tic He declares that these difficulties are not peculiar to the Atlantic voyage, except eeTH ia one of unusual extent and duration. Tl jy naturally range themselves un 1er two heaUs, viz: 1. Maintaining the buoyancy of the balloon. 2. Keeping to a direct co arse. Tho groat cause of the 'diminution of the buoyancy of the balloon-is the raising and falling in uio altitude of :ts course. In the case of the ordinary balloon, every Sight above the average level costs an expenditure of both gas and ballast. The gas is lost by ex? pansion and consequent ov^-uowing iront the mouth of the balloon, thia* IOSB of gos then C3UHC8 the balloon to sink below the course, whioh in turn compels the throwing out of ballast to bring it up again. Ihe loss of gas in fluctuations is a very serious consideration -in the case of a balloon of tho size of that in whioh Professor Chev dior is to make his tran s AUantio trip. ''L'Esp?rance" for that is its name, has a capacity for 80,300 feet of eas. At the height of 80,000 feet the atmospheric pres? sure is, say one-tenth lesa tho surfaoe of tbe earth, and the gus consequently expands one tenth in volume at that elevation, if every time Chevalier's balloon should rise 3000 feet it were to loso one-tenth of VB contents, equal to ninety-six pounds sus'ainiu? power, it would not bo two days bdftre L'Esperauco would sink into the sea, new Ito rise again. HOW THE OAS AMP BALLAS^ ABE SAVED ? It is here that M. Chevaliers own invention, the "compensator" balloon, eomee into play. Attached to the lower part of L'Esp?rance is a second or reservoir balloon, which is not in? flated at the earth, but is ready to receive the excess of gas resulting from expansion at high elevation. Professor Chevalier has also devised an ingenious contrivance to secare a rebound of the balloon from the depression consequent upon one of these flights with ?ut any expendi? ture of ballast, which, of coarse, is most.pre? cious on a long ocean trip. Across the hoop, to which is fastened the netting that covers the balloon above and the eax below, he has extended a windlass made of a hollow cylinder. A rope of sufficient strenglh and length is at? tached to and wound upon this windlass At the lower extremity of the ro*ie are fastened, at proper intervals, a number ot small water? proof canvas bags, whose mc iths are kept open by small rings. Bot ween ; these at stated dist9no3s are disposed a numb '.' of small con? ical floats, whioh are intended tb serve the pur? pose of supporting the length uf rope when it reaches the sea by the depression of the bal? loon,' As the balloon descends the lower por? tion of the rope is gradually deposited upon the surface of (he sea, relieving, the balloon of its weight, until a sufficient quantity has been thus disposed of to arrest the balloon's further descent. Buppose the balloon lo have passed through rain showers or clouds aighly charged with vapor during the night, ari the ropes of the netting and other parts of-he apparatus to have become heavy with moieiure. iHot loss than 200 or SOO pounds Weight .8 often added to a balloon in this manner, ano if there be no sun to dry ap the moisture the lidded weight brings the balloon to the earth. ; -s soon, how? ever, as the rope from the oar otftE'Espeiance begins to trad on the surfaoe ' the >al!oon ceases to fall, and continues on i's way at an1 unvarying elevation until thesuuj; - wind takes the heavy moisture out of. the- figging, when she ie enabled to regain her pwV >us altitude in tua akiee. ? Now, again tho rsipo mmmw chocdt to a too great ascent with ita attendant lose of gae. The water bags on tbs rope have been filled as they were trailed through the water, and the increased weight prevents a high flight, and keeps the balloon down to her work, so to speak, with the whole original power or buoyancy of the rebound. By this simple and beautiful arrangement of the rope with its water-bags, the 1 atlast of the balloon is diminished or increased at will; indeed the ballast adjusts itself without the intervention of the aeronaut, according to the necessity of the moment. Prof. Chevalier .is confident that by means of the compensator and the rope ballast with such a balloon as L'Esper? ance, constructed for the occasion, elevation can be maintained for ? period of one month should circumstances require it. HOW THE DISSECTION IS PRESERVED. The second ot the two great problems .of the undertaking ie how to keep tue balloon on a direct course. Chevalier is not by soy means a victim to a belief in balloon-navigation. In fact, he has a perfect contempt for the balloon, considered as ah air-ship, aud says it is good for nothing but ior the purpose of scientific observatioi. A balloon, he says, so far from being a ship is not even a buoy let loose ?rom its moorings ; for a buoy floats on the surface, but the aerial sea has no surfaoe. A balloon, says the Professor, is a jelly-flab, immersed in a fluid hy whose every current it is helplessly carried to and fro ; the jelly-fish makes feeble jMR^^djKSCt.its own.ewrge, w?th about as much success as those of a balloon. How,then, is M. Chevalier to. know Wheo he ascends from Landmann's Park next July, whether he ie about, to cross tho Atlantic or the Pacific,? Toe answer is, that though'chevalier does not be? lieve in balloons, he does believe, in currents, lu every ascent daring his long career, be says, he found on reaching an altitude any? where between 8000 and 10,000 feet that the wind was invariably iron thc west or rathol from the northwest ; however way the wine! was blowinc.poor tho ground, in each of hit onehundredandsixty-five ascents he founde northwest ourrent in the upper atmosphere. Chevalier believes this ourrent tobe a disco ven of hie own, and it is for the gloxy of establish? ing his theory, rather than ot sailing three oi tour thousand m{les over the water, iwhich ht regards quite ah every-day altair), that he jin dertakes his balloon voyage from North Amer ic? *o Europe. THE GUIDE ROPE. Be will be greatly assisted in determining the actual course whioh his balloon may be a any (hue pursuing by the rope suspended iron the car, described above As tho rope, whet touching the water, will always drag in thc rear, it will only be necessary to observe itt direction by the compass, and that of th* balloon itself is at enos indicated. Anothei equally important determination which th guide rope will afford, and whioh will not. b attainable by any other means, will he thi distance at whioh the balloon is from the its mediate sm face of the earth at anv time wbei the view is obstructed by clouds, fog or darli ness. -The barometer affords information ohli as to the height above the mean level of the sea and, without the warning given by the guidt rope, the balloon might at any time, whei sailing too low, be dashed against mountain ou waves; and, owing te tho velocity wah which i would be moving on the wings of a storm, BOO] a shock would be fatal. FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR THE VOYAGE. Mono. Chevalier may be seen almost an montipg quietly at WQri: puWOfeJte^iflhlni ton che a on h is balloon at Landmann's Park He ie a quiet, unobtrusive, yet propossessini jottQg man of S3 years, cf ??Acoiup?ex?on an with black hair and moustache.

He converses and writes ia ai payent English, though he opea ks and write In t'ronoh, Germnn and Russian as well. H ia very communicative and entertaining io eh dilating his plans and theories. He han nc yet determined as to how many and what oap panions ho will take alona with him on hi voyage. The applications for passage on t b rare bu? pori 1 lou? journey have been pouring i on him by hundreds. An opportunity to tr the accommodations of the ship will bo give these aspiring candidates for aeronautic lain dorins the several preliminary ascents at tn end of a rope whioh will be made at Lam mann's Park next week* .

A Washington telegram to the Baltimore Son eaye : In consequence of the abeenoe of the Presi? dent there was no Cabinet mooting to-day. It has been suggested in certain journals that when the Cabinet again convenes the .Butler proposition, winch ts substantially to declare martial law in the Southern States, will be con? sidered. From one cf th? members of the Cabinet it ie learned tbat there is no founda? tion for the above quoted statement. It is true, as telegraphed hence, that General Butler did actually ur?c some such extreme measure in an interviow be had with General Grant last Saturday. Tbe President heard the sugges? tions respectfully, but did not indicate what, if any, opinion he had formed on the subject. Aa General Grant now very rarely acts upon his own motion in 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 ol General Butlers impositions, for the reason that every mum? er of the administration very well knows that the Executive has no authority in the matter of local disturbances in Staten until called upon by the State authorities for Federal assistance, in the mode pl?iuly indicated,, in tho constitu? tion. No sucu constitutional H tops lia ve been taken by any State officers, and no euell course is expected note, as it Jbas become well estab? lished that no extraordinary resistance of civil authorities exists, nor have recently talion place in any of the States of the Union, jgl?eneral Butler's proposition, coming from him, does not surprise those who understand and properly appreciate him. He has been guilty of more bold legal heresies than any public man who professes to be a lawyer, and no good lawyer here would be willing to risk his reputation on an endorsement of General Butler's legal opinion, where matters of politi? cal interest intervene. TEE RAILROAD JDXEETCULTY., I From the Augusta Constitutional'Bt ] 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 rumora 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 tbat tbe basie of a settlement proposed last week, and thought to be accept? able to parties in interest in th id city, which compromised the whole litigation by the pay? ment of $100 OOO in Columbia and Augusta Railroad bonds at par to the South Carolina Railroad Company, has not been further acted upon by the City Council, and consequently no reply made to that proposal. Instead o? which a formal offer has been made hy Council to purchase a certain amount of stock in the Ma? con Road from the South Carolina Railroad Company at its cost, payable in bonds of Au? gusta and Columbia Railroad Company at par, by which purchase it was expected that the South Carolina Railroad would forego all claims and privileges, also allow tho free use of its bridge, and several miles of track, until the 1st january, 1870, to the Columbia Road. Since writing the above, we have the best 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 1B Bald to be a .direct off-hand Offer that the South Carolina * Railroad Company will waive all claims against tbs ot ty, growing out of the contract made in 1860 with Council (which in? volves the amount of principal and interest in the Macon subscription,) the city to waive any claims it may be supposed to have against the South Carolina Railroad, and that company to bind itself not to interfere with the Columbia and Angosta Railroad's crossing the river into Augusta. The Sooth Carolina Railroad to have 4t?-prient rights guaranteed to Jt^aA ror thc uture 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 public opinion here is really in earn? est in encouraging m many roads io 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. TUE ERESBY!ERIANS. The Negotiations for Reunion Between ' the Old School and Hew Behool Aeeesn hlles. In the Now School General Assembly, in New Yark city, on Monday, Rev. Dr. Darling, chair? man of the Committee on Answers to the Over? tures for Reunion by the last Assembly, made the following report: The special committee appointed to collate the answer? of Presbyteries to the overt ursnn 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 tue two branches pf 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, i860, respectively in Albany, N, Y., and Har? risburg, Pa. j ;. : n .? U / ffi Four Presbyteries 'have answered the over? ture in the negative-Distriotef Columbia, De I troit, Washtenaw and Chicago. At the afternoon session on Tuesdiy, Dr. Fisher read a report oa .the conference with j other Presbyterian bodies. Delegates from the Old and .New Schools, and from otb^r bodies, met and unanimously agreed that a reunion was most desirable, if the way was clear. j The following four points were submitted ss a b isis of reunion : First. The Old and New Testament are ac? cepted as 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 or 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. .i i -- ^CREDlTORS'NOT?Cp.-Atlj PERSONS indebted to Mr. GEORG E H.
