ROBERT BALDWIN, An eminent minister la Alabama. Dr. TuU'i Itair Dye Colon a Beautiful Black. MIS *3*1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ gro woman* employed by Mr. J. A. North aa ? serWt at htereafdeace, on ftsyaolds street, between Campbell and MoOarten streets, while walking along the street in front of her. employees - dwelling, *dis covered a large paper collar, covered with.writing, and'to whioh a bunch of keys and a block silk cravat were attach? ed, lyicg ia.tke dast, She immediately picked it op, and carried it to Mr. North. The mysterious collar contained the fol? lowing inscription, whioh was written f n a legible bat very norvoub band, upon both bides of it: "Should this fall into the hands ol any one, send word to my dear wife, Mrs. J. J. Harte, at Olive Street Hotel, St. Louis, Mo. I am up some ten or twelve miles in my balloon, tossed to and fro. Have lost oontrol of it, and the Lord only knows where I will land. The wind has been blowing a gale since Saturdayr 8th inst. I am oat of food, and am nearly famished for water. I left St. Louis on 7th, and have been floating about in space ever since. I drop this, hoping some one will find it and address {a letter to my wife, soon. I will write, I should I land safe on earth again. My' j name is J. J. Harte, of Boston, Massa? chusetts." . The oollsr is an ordinary paper one, size 15, and has, apparently, been worn for some time. Four small keys, attach ed together by a black Bilk neck-tie, about a half inoh wide and considerably frayed at the edges, were tied, by means of the latter, to the collar, the ends of tho cra? vat being passed through tbe end button? holes of that article, sad tied seenreiy [ together. The keys were evidently fast? ened to the collar to give weight,. so as to make it fall to the earth. The whole; thing bears an air of plausibility that makes us loath to believe it a hoax. It may be said that it is not possible for a man to live ten or twelve miles above the earth. Grant this.' It is a very easy matter for a person placed, as tbe un? known states that he is, in his mysterious communication, to imagine himself a mush greater distance from - the earth f than be really is. If the story be a-true one, the balloonist is, indeed, in a terri? ble oondition. Miles up in the air, at the mercy of the capricious oarrents, his balloon unmanageable, destitute of food and water, and with no prospect of reaobing the earth in safety, his fate. is sqoh as to make one shudder to think of. Miyor Est es telegraphed yesterday af? ternoon to the Olive Street Hotel, St. . Louis, asking whether a Mr. Harte left that oify on the 7th, in a balloon. Mr. Patrick Walsh, Agent of the Associated Press in this city, also telegraphed to the agent in St. Louis, requesting in? formation in regard to the same matter. : A balloon was seen high op fn the sir, nearly over the Savannah River, and sail? ing in au Eaatorly direction, by a num? ber of persons, about six o'olook yeatet day afternoon. Mayor Es tee received en j answer to his despatch late last evening, stating that no balloon had left St Louis during the last two weeks, within the knowledge Of the sender of the despatch. It by no means foliows^- however, that a balloon did not leave ot. Louis during tha^.tim'e.?Augusia Constitutionalist. ) - & A RbmabbabTiS Ooin?idknck.?A cor? respondent of the Charleston Courier writes: It is s coincidence whioh I have never seen noted by any one, but it is ourions and noteworthy, that St. Patrick's Dsy is the anniversary of the landing at Port Royal of Governor Sayle and bis little baud of colonists who planted South Carolina. This will appear by the fol? lowing extract from the journal of the Grand Council, ot Jane 8, 1672: "W. Thomas Norrie, Anthony Charm and Samuel Lucas came this day before the Grand Council and made oath, that they were privy to tbe contract between Rioh ard Deyos and C. Edwards; his servant, and that the said Edwards was to serve the said Deyos the term of two years in this provision, from the time of his ar? rival there and ended the 17th day of Maroh last past. "Tbe said 0. Edwards thereupon re Eorted a freeman, and his liberty granted im to take warrants for the land dua. bim in the provision aforesaid." This, of course, fixes the arrival on tbe 17th March, 1670. I thought yon might be pleased at having this reminder given to yon on the 203d anniversary of the birth of South Carolina. _F. A.
