Moasrs. Goodsell, of the Graphio, started out to make an important expedition to discover mothing, Tho immense crowd which went to the Capitoline Grounds, Drooklyn, to witness tho msconsion soomed to foel that thoy were thera simply to bo humbugged, and whon the balloon suddenly collapsod, siuking to tho ground as n drunken elephant may bo supposed to sink, cach porson soomed to rojoico at fiuding his anticipation bad been proven correct, Thero Las beon an attompt to convey the improssion that the balloon was purposely ripped, but there i no truth whatover in this. Tho cotton matorial of which it was constructed was utterly inadoquate to hold the quantity of gas which the balloon contained, although at tho timo of tho collapso it waa only one-fourth or one-third filled. The whole thing is o contemptible wrock. It was never compotent to carry out tho promiscs of the managers, and to-night all that they bave as- serted and promised is genorally rldiyculud. The crowd that was deceived into golng waa not any- thing like as largo as tho managers nullci{mecd. “The Graphic Compauy talk alroady of batlding & now batloon, but no one places confideuce in in their assortions, 3 d Spectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, PMILADELPHIA, Sn{‘lt. 12.—Prof. Wise, who was to have gono up in tho Graphic balloon, was hera yostorday. Whon questioned, ha said there was mismanagoment in the whole enterprise, and that thoro is_appmently no_possibility of $he Graphic Company over sending the bailoon off. Ho will not accompany the aeronauts, Tho following telegram was roeceived this morninfi from D, Croley, of the Graphic, by O. 8. Hubbol, of this city, whoso earricr pigoous will accompany tho ‘oxpedition: *Our only rorly to adverse criticiem is the starting of tho balloon, which we have constantly endenyored to do from tho first.” [To the Associated Press.) New Yonk, Sept. 12.—An immenss crowd vis- ited tho Capitoline Grounis, Braoklyn, this aftor- uoon o witnoss the doparture of tho big balivon for Europe. The process of inflation ‘com- menced at an early hour this morning aud con- tinuod steadily until ten minutes past 4, whon the balloon suddonly awayod to tho north, ripped half way around, with a great tunrh\;{ noise, and foll flat upon the ground, Tho im- mense volumo of gas which bad been pumped into it, nearly 400,000 foot, escaped at the samo momont, nomxy suflocating thoso who stood on the inside, Inspector Pollk, Mr. Goodvell, and Polico Commissionor Briggs bad but the inatant boforoe shifted their positions to tho eastward and thus escaped being buried in tho notting and canvass. Tho crowd made o general rush over the ropes with the intention of tearing up tho canvaa into emall picces and carrying them off as momontoes, but n strong forco of g‘ lice on the ground charged and drove thom back. Mr. Stiner, who Lad gontracted to 1ill the balloon, said that it'would bo all folly to sttempt anothor inflation, as tho bag was not mado of the propor matorial. So the enterprise is abandoned for the prosont, [By Maif.} From the New York sun, Sept, 11, Donnldson slopt in the car of the Daily @raphic batloon, on the Capitoline Grounds, on Tuosday night, under cover of the tont in which tha paraphernalia had boon on_exbibition, Tho balloon, from which tho distonding sir had been allowed to ecscapo, lay in collapse, and was watched during the' night by four mon. It was fearad that some malicionsly mischiovous person might do it_some harm should the opportunity be given. In the night a_dispatch was roceived from tho Bignal Oftice in Washington J)rndlnung for the dny frosh easterly winds and possibly & lght rain, This was taken to the grounds, and at 8 o'clock in the morning Donaldson de- cided to begin fhe inflation, A G-inch gas-pipo had beon run into the grounds from a main on Maroy aveane, A woodon plug in tho end of .the pipe held back tho gas. At- taching tho nack of the balloon to this pipe ho knocked out tho plug, and the gas rushed into the immeonas muslin bag with a loud, hissing noise, The edges of the netting had boen care- fully fastoned to the cirolo of sandbags, and as the gas bogan to fill the balloon the notting hug- ged and hold tho varnished muslin, In an hour about 40,000 foot of gas was in tho balloon. This quantity waa just sufiiclent to distend tho ontiro surfaco to tho Leight of a dozon foot. I'ho balloon Iy on ita side, and as the breeze swopt ovor It, ta uadulating, glistening surfaco looked like & miniaturo gea in a galo, No buoy- antly sensitive was it, that the slightost gust of air rainod it duto minfo billows that surged aud struggled from one extremity to tho other, Lho Bignal Oftice had beon corroot in its foro- telling, Tho breeze freshoued to an esstorly wind—an air current in overy respoot the ro- vorso to what tho aoronsuts’ wauted. As tho balloon filled with gns and rose highor the wind enught it, tossed it about, and swayed it 8o vio- lontly that tho hoavy sand-bags were dragged from tholr placos. At this time but oight worlk- men, booldes Donaldson aud s Sun roportor, wero on the ground. Allt held to tho not- worl on tho cast side, where the wind oxorted tho greatest forco, “If wo could only get a shower now,” eaid Donaldson, *“the wind might go down," Int no showor came, aud the wind freshoned, Lunt, the navigator, and one of the Goodsoll biothiers arrived at 6 o'clock, at which time tho balloon held about 100,000 feot of gas, ouo-third of tho required amount, and ‘its top had reachied o hoight of abont forty fqet. Thon asuddon guat Jorked the neck of the hulloon from tho gas- L)Ipu, tearing a emall gap in the muslin, 1t thon ocamo o protty evenly-balanced quostion whethar tho balloon would tako a atart skyward by Itsolf, Over a hundred. men wore hurriedly collected from among tho laborers who thon througed the strests on thoir way to work, Uu- der the direotion of Donnldson they woro dis- tributed nlong the windward sido of tho tossing baltoon, and told to Laug to;the netti Sf, Tho weight of the mou and the eand-bags kopt the balloon more quiect for an hour, and the sul sidence of the wind was anxiously looked for, But tho woather man's prophooy bad not reached “mon, its fulfillmont. The wind awept over the un- proteoted ground with Increasing uh‘on?llx, lowlnf{ tho muslin bag Inward from tho nett I!F, aud subjocting it to serionn abrason. At longth, at noarly 9 o'clock, a suddon and poworful guat liftod tho bulloon clear from tho ground, and in 8pito of tho snud-baga and the_ hundrad clinging h carriod it eix or seven roda.” Tho notfing an tho west sida was partially torn from ita fase tonings, and tho hag bulged ot as though on the [’“‘“‘ of eplitting away entitoly, and float- ng on. Seolng that only eneryotia action would savo it, Donaldson climbod up the notting and openad tho valvo, 'Lhls, howaver, di .ot huvo the immadiate effect dosirad, and tho bal- loon still surged and tngged, Attnched to ono of the seama on the insido of the bag 18 o .ropo, londing thonco ont of thonook. It is called o "n{»cnrd," and is intended in caso o sudden Ianding i4 nocossnry, ‘or upon attompting to Iauncls the lifo-bont in n galo, to tear & alit aad allow the gns to ceeape, By its uso tho bag.can Lo torn from top to bottom, Boizing this ropo, Donaldson gavo o strong pull. A tonring sound was heard, and o oix-foot . fla- suro apponred in the balloon’s uido, out of which the %an rushod with o ronr. Soveral of tho fow spactators, who had in tho moantimo gathered, run up to this gap, aud as lhwrrledly ran away again, The air was tainted for & fow eccondy with the huudred thousand foet of gas; iand thora was an fnvoluntary clutchlug of noses' to the windward.” 'Tho coll n&an of the balloon was almpat instantancons, and it soon sy o tangled mass, Thoodoro Tilton was an eaxly visitor,-and s the comploto subsidonco of tho punctured glubu. Ilo laughed, and said that buman ges- ags might evolvo a wholosome morsl. One of the Goodsoll brothers danced around, and said that bo would rather had lost $1,000 than bad it hoppon. Thon Lie dischurgod ono of bLis om- Eloyna. who hadn'tin the emergency beon “ any otter’ than s —— dend man,” and scemed to fool roliovod. Navigator Lunt pushed bis natty littlo cap moro to ouo side, and - scrawohed his hioad. Donaldson sat down on a coil of rope and aworo milily. When the momentary sonsation had subsided, an examination of tho balloon was made, and it was found to be uninjured, excopt- ing tho rent made by the * rip-line," and o small teac nonr the necle, Profs, Wiso aud Stiner arrived at 10 o'clock. Thoi ){nllud off thoir boots 80 ns not to Injure tho ballvon, and examined it thoroughty, Bo- fora thoy arrived, Donaldson bnd begun the re- poiring of the ront made by the rp-cord, A strlpof muslin wag sown firmly over it, nnd covorad with poveral conts of varnish, A simi- lar plagtor honled the wounded nock.: Mrs. Ibling, Prof. Wise's nioco, also nidod in the re- pairg, and there was a strong corps of voluntoor advisors, From the New York Tribune, Sept, 11.° Prof. Wiso, who had been conspicuous by his absence from tho scome of tho oxhibition throughout the dng was closeted for severnl ours with his publishers during the ovonlu§, ond ot midnight roturned to his rosidence in City Hall placo. Ag ho entored ho was accostod by a Tribune reporter, to whom he stated that tho tallure of tho asconsion yesterday was duo to soveral causes, viz ; the unfavorable weather, thoe inability to inflato tho balloon, and the lack of completoness in the proparstions. The Profossor scomed disinclinod to speak of tho troatment swhich ho hnd received from the man- agers of tho euterpriso, but, after solicitation on tho part of his som, who accompanied im, ho mado moro positivo statemonts, though in o consorvalive and modost mantor. Ho #aid that his arrangemont with tho Measrs. Goodsell was substantially as follows : They agreed to construct such s balloon as_he suggestod, of materiala of good quality, and i¢ was to bo equipped with approved eciontific in- strumonts aud facilitios for the sustonance and preservation of lifo. Instozd of acting ou his recommondations thay procoeded to build bal- Ioon after tuelr own idons. They procured diffor- ont matorin! from that which ho suggested, om- ployed a suporintendent of coustrustion’ who was utterly unit for tho position, and entirely ditiregarded his (Prof, Wise's) ndvico, Prof. Wiko hias morely an advigory position in the cbuncils of the eunterprise, and whenevor his views differed from thoso of tho managers thoy weore disregarded. - Tho balloon;” inatend of - boing lnced under cover at tho ship-house in the Novy Yard, was exposed to the action of tho ele- ments for flvo wooks, until the material was re- tuslly rotten, and could not contain the gas. Instead of having an nm]i‘lb force of twonty-tivo mon at the grounds for the purpose of inflaling the balloon, Donaldson and & few boys wero there, and they, of course, could accomplish nothing. The balloon was rent in soveral placos, and ho was in doubt a8 to tho ability of the con- structors to repair it £o as to enablo it to be of snflicient sorvico to demonstrate the theory which lio had so much at hoart. In relntion to the businoss details of {he bal- loon, Prof. Wise said that the figures had been grossly overrated. o had mads an estimato of the cout of construction, and presented it to tho maoagers of the entorpiiso. He had estimated that a first-clazs balloon such as he roquired wonld cost $5,630. 'ho managers had not spent ovor 4,000 ou tho batloon which was now on ox- hibition. They had advertised for contributions which they declared would be twnod over to Prof. Wiso. On the strongth of this statoment, o number of subscriptions were recoived—one {from o ecientifle sociely amouuting to $1,200. This oheck had been drawn to the order of Prof. Wige, and he had indorsed it over to the managers, and had not received anything out of it. IHe protested against his namo being ueed 08 o bait for subscriptions, and declared to them that it thoy did not coase such n misuse of his zamo he would oxpose the whole matter. Many of the imploments and instru- montsof tho enterprise were contributed gratuit~ ously or for advertising purposes, 'The actual ontlay had boon moro than repaid by the rates of admission charged at tho exhibition of the balloon. ‘To this disfilny hoe was very much avorse, ns ho did not thinl that it was _just to chargo admission fees. Ilodid mot think that he had boen jl:mly treatod by the Graphic. Ho had spent his summor, all his enorgy and industry upon the matter, and had remained in this city ata large cost to himself. All that ho had roceived was about $195 for exponsos in conneotion with the balloon. Ho particularly dwelt upon tho treatment of the mavagers in rolation to his book, iwhich ho had contracted to write and publish, With a orfect knowledgo of this subject, the managers ad advertised by implication that he was to edit this book in conjunction with somo of tho poo- plo connected with thom. This had alarmed his ublishers, and it had hoon necessary for him to Slm:lnlm all connection with tlus Dook. Prof, Wiso concluded by stating that ho was gtill de- sirous of prosecuting tho enterprise, and that it this bolloon could bo repaired and made to demonatrato somothing practical ho would as- cond. Ho underatoad that the jutention was to inflato the balloon at 6 a. m. to-day with ng“' and if it wero possible tho ascousion would be made. From the New York Herald, Sept. 11, Prof. Wiso returnod to his rooms in this city at helf-past 7 last oveniug, and was met by a rep- rosentativo of the Herald dosirous of feoliny his solentiflo pulso. He looked caroworn an dojectod, but his temper was unrafiled, *‘ Whon will the attompt be renewed to inilate the bal- loon, Professor?

Ttoportor—Indoed | Tlow i that possiblo? Mr. Btinor has qunu howe to Albany this ovening, and ho has informed me that ho will not return until sont for. Prof. Wiso—I was not awaro of that. Thon turning to his son, Mr. Oharles Wise, How %e lhg!, Charlos, did *you kuow that Btinor had oft Charles Wiso—Oh, yos! Il loft only a short timo ngo.

Prof. Wiso—Not boyond this week, Tf thora in no balloon for me by Friday or SaturdayI shall considor myself absolved from the prasont undertaking, 'There was eomething said about gotting up anothor balloon by one of the Good- sells, but I told thom I wantad no moro of their oxperimonta ; I've had enough. Reportor—Then you are uot bhound to fulfill your contract at the convenionce of the muua- gors of the exhibition ? DProf. Wise—Cortainly not. I agreed io mako tho oxporimental voyage provided thoy furnishiod an afr-ship that could gt itself off the ground, I did not agroo and shsll not consont to participate in any exhibitions, I, througli n foolish, or rathor a whamoful, ecouomy, the balloou in a fuilure, tho fault is uot mine, for my wishes in_rogard to alwost overy detail of tho construction havo beon pouh-poobed, and ovorything hay boen douo tv save oxvenso at tho osslble risk of lite. I wdrhed tho Memers. oodsall woel ngo that thoy world régrot thelr pnmlmon( and m‘dmcd them to Iusuro tho practicabl lty of tent ng tho enstorly currout, I pletured fo them rofit that would nnturally accrue to hemy throughout the world if they should bo {ustrumental in aiding me to cross tha ocenu, I told thom that tholr fortuno was to bo ronpod aftor a successful trip, and uot by a mohkay-show befors wa had found whether thoir ennvas could bo buoyed up at all. DBut those clover young men Inghed, and told me to mind -my business (which wns witat I wan trying to do), and gave mo to understand that Miy Dons aldson could be relied upon for whatover advico wus noedod. Ever sinco thoy discoverod, some oolty ag0, that the copyright of my book (on- titlod ** Tlirongh the Alr ) was disposed of toa Dhiladelphin housd thioy” scom to bnve tried to amako it hot for me.

By necdlnss oxposnre, carcless humlllnm and a gon- oral blundoring or incomneiont manegomoat, tho balloon lias now beon damnged nlmost bo- yond a poseibitity of repair, and it it storng to- night it will be still furthorivjurod. Six monthg of eareful use would not bavo harnied tho can- va8 to tha oxtont that it bas alroady suffored, Roporter—It would soem, then, that you con- sider that the collapso is now complete? _ Prof. Wiso—I amafraid that therae {s but vor little hope of our ever getting ovorhead wl:fl thut nerostadl, Hnd it been properly housed aud intolli untl{ handled, oven though the ma~ terial of which 1t is mado is of an inferior qual- ty, I boliove that we coull hnve got off, and tilght have mnde tho voyago. If wo do start now, I hope tho Herald will eond a steam yacht around to Montault Dot to follow in our track, and take us aboerd whon we come down, for I'm pretty sure that wo eball need the servicos of an ontorprising journal to got us ashore. ‘CHEAP TRANSFPORTATION. ¥apers Rend Beforo the Sennte Come mittee at Xty Session in New York.
