Passing Over Luke Erie.?At 3 a. m., Sat- i

wore somewhere over the State of Indiana or j
Ohio. At. -I n in., we paused a city, hut cnultl
not make it out, hut :<L 6 ?. in. we discovered '
T^i1:g Krie ahead i?f in, and then concluded j
thai, the cily we left n little South of our track ;
must havo "been Fori. Way no. At 6 a. m, we
unssrd Tolc?L>. sind ahttiil an hour afterward we '

Bteain ei?w, that wan propelling up n river or j
bay,headed for our track, and some one aboard j
of her very quaintly cried ulnud to ns: "Tli.it
i* the lake nliea.l of yon." Mr. Ln Mountain ;
cried bank, "Jsit lake Erie?*' and the answer j
wae, ' Yes, it is, nmi you bad better look out." j
Our goood friend, the propeller finding ihat we '
discarded bin kindness, rounded olf again, and !
Hounded ii!? a good-bye with bis steam whistle, '
and went bin way up the river I
Here we mounted up until tl>s hnlloon ffot
full, mid the barometer Ml to 23, in order to
make along near the Southern shore of the lake;
but nt Mr. I>a Mountain's suggestion. that we
could mnke tho city of Buffalo by sailing but a

I opened the valvo until we gradually unnk to j
williiii five hundred feet of the water. Ilere we !
found a genl!*; pftlo of aliont a ?|>eed of a inile j

we should Itettvo in niwlrt of KiiD'hIg. And (hen
lise and sail over it. This wait a most interesting
part of our voyage. VV?j overtouk seven ?io*m- 1
boat*, parsed mutual balutationo, and would ?'>on j
leave them flitting on tho horizon in out rear.? j
One ol the^e lonely travelers remarked, rb we
pawed him," You are going it like thunder."?
At 10-20 a. m., we were bkirting along tho
Canada shore. mid pasm-d near (lie mouth of the
Wellnnd Canal, and noon began to inonnt for
oar most. Easterly current, no us to tako Buffalo

The Xn'uraluation Question.?A letter from
ine non. <?. ft. I'ugu. Lnitni Mates Senator. on
this exciting question, lias the following paragraph
:
Residence in any country, so lone a.s it continues,
will suhjcct the parly resident. to the
law of that cotintry ; and wr presume residence
ordinarily, from the mere fact of birth. Dutthid
presumption h rebutted, and completely overcome,
by a change of residence, 'accompanied
by other acts denoting ihc intention of the parly
to exputriate himself. A man born in Prussia,
therefore, who has become a resident of the
United States, and taken the oath of naturaliza
tion. is no longer a subject of the King of Prussia,
in any pense or to any extent whatever. Ho
never can become a Prussian subject, in fact,
unless by removing to Prussi.i and obtaining a
new, fixed, permanent residence there.
The Hon. John Hickman, writing upon the
mmo subject, saya : "You will tluin dec that 1
regard any refusal of the United States to defend
aadprotect a naturalized citizen, either nt
home or abroad, as vigoroutly and fully as au
American born, ilcstructivc alike of the theory,
principles and practice of our Government, and
demanding the marked rebukeof e^ory consistent
Democrat."
Taxable Proptrlij of New York.?The taxable
yroportj of New York city, as assessed for tbfl
present year, reaches the enormous sura of
$551.023,1142, rtf which real cftuf-e takes $378,054,930,
and personal :g 108,336,730 ; non-reaident,
$14,831,462. The totnl increase over

Southern Matron, has earned so enviable n f:rtnc

FIRE.
! Just nftor our paper went to prees on Wednes,
day evening last, between } uud b o'clock, the
cry of firo was heard in the direction of our Dc
pot. Upon reaching tho spot, the flamm were
found issuing from h lot of cotton on the Depot
i pl.itform, wliero nbout lOOlial-H wore deposited,
i A large crowd noon assembled, and tho cotton
n<?t on fire takon out of danger, und then every
| iVort made to extingiubh the burning bale*, but
1 finding it impossible to do thin, froin tho binall
; supply of water, they w?r# removed from the
1 platform, by which it only suffered a slight injury.
Twelve bales were entirely consumed, and five
j or Bix more very nearly destroyed. The loss falls
j on Mr. Gko. B. Cmnkscalea, of our District.
The fire is supposed to have originated by u
w|)iirU from the locouiutivc.
