From the time of tbe ascousion, half-past o'clock Wednorday aftornoon, tho bglloon was driven in an eastarly direction, sod whon in tho vicinity of Scarboro was drivon somo milos out oyor the lake. Donaldsun comprelionded tho situation aod advised tho passongors that they might count upos a slght over tho lake, not soeking to disgniss the difiicultion and danger which woro apparent to his experlonced mind. A varistion of tho wind carriod therm within o mio of the town of Whitley, and hopes wero enfertained of making a landing thoro, but theso expectations wers speedily dissipated by snother ehift which carried tho bal- Inon far out ovor tho watoers, so that bath alioros wora in viow. ‘I'hen, in tho worda of tho reporter, tho wind again veerod round and thoy noared the north shore, soon arriving within abont 6 miles of land, probably in the neighbor- hoodof Coburg. Then tho balloon, wiich hnd Dot been properly inflated for a long voyago—all those on buard expecting only tu ba abeont for & faw hours—Llegao to doaccnd, and at G:d5 tho drag-rope touched the wator. Tho descent now becamo much moro rapid, and sccund after second the water appeared with gieater distinct- ness. Dagalter bag of saud was thrown out, aud tho excitement, becama most intense, aud at the samo timo most intoreating, to thoso who wors belng carriod through the air. 'The basket began to oscillato in tho most violont manner, and, by tho explanation of tho Iro- fesgor, they found that this was causod by the motion of the waves in (ue Inko below. No por- coptiblo differanco was to bo discovored in the downward motion of the balioon. In half o minuto from tho time the rocking of the baskot was first observed, tho car was submergod to tho sxtent of about 2 foet. At tho samo time the balloon kopt tho most porfect equilibrinm. There was thon no longer hesitation about g ting rid of tho sand, and all was thrown out with tho exception of a few bags,which wore resorved in tho ovent of a still grester emergonoy. TFar out into tho Iako thoy wera atill diivon, aud vary soon tho opposite shoro was aa near as that which had beon loft: in fact, from nppoarances, rather uenrer.

YTrom this tims for mulo sfier milo the balloon traveled towards the head of tha lako, and tho ouly hope was that & favorable wind might o and carry them to somo friendly shore, Nothiug but dis- appomntmonta ook place, Bevoral vessols wero sightod, but all of them withont the limit to which the human voice could ronch, About 12 o'clock tho buliaon agaln commenced todescend, and moon roached ~about forty foot off tho water. Eversthing gradually went overboard, Prof. Dounldson giving tho word, whon tho varioun orticlos wore to be thrown out. The an- chor wont first, thou the anchor rope: then went s portion of tho drag rope, some 50 feot in length. ‘I'his lightening of the Lalioon was of soma nvail for tho tima belng, but It soou be- gan to near tho wator agaiw. Thon overcoats aud every availablo article went ovor the side. Btill thoy descended, and al about 12:15 touched the water. From this time up to the -oscuo tho basket was submergod more or less, the occupnuts nometimen sitting on tho edjyo and at other timea lolding on to the ropes. T'hey wore at the mercy of tho wind and waves, and from this time all hoges of baing saved wero abandoned, Fortu- ustoly, the wind subsided, and, being within a fow milos of Point Yolrs lighthouso, hopo began to rovive and faint expectations of wafoty wore cutortainod, Jot o holp camo. At this time the batloon had beon driven in by conflictiog cur- routs to within about 4 miles of tho shore. At thin stago it may bo kaid that Polnt Potro was tho last obance tuat tho balloonists had of reach- ing land until arviog at the far cud of the lake, somo 70 miles distant. Tho wind again rose in most uncortain gusta. At one timo tha balloon was out far, and fho noxt momont was_uear enough to share to attompt s risk of abandoolug the balloon for the water, in the hopes of swimmingtolaud, About1 o’clook, howevar, & small schoonor was discovored at a distance of ahout a milo and a half, Prof, Don- aldsou’s etrong voice succoadod {o reaching the a0 at tha Lelm, aod tho gratoful wérds ** Wo will try and help you," fluslly camo back to tha tmporiled voyagers. Tack after tack was mado by the vessol, but on account of tho balloon sml- ing into tho wind faater than it could follow, tho endeavor to reach waa found o bo futile, Then & voat was lowered, aud for an lour and a balf tho two mon who formed the crow rowod vigorounly, st times gottiug within spoak- ing distance, aund thon sgmn being left far boldnd. At last tho brooze subgid- ed to such an oxtent &a to allow tho boat to roach tho acronauta, Tho drng-mpa of tne balloon was bauded to those on board, and then commenced the voyage to tho shoro. At times, wblle no wind was "biowing, tho work of towing was esasy. Al othor timea the boat had to be brought up close alongside, and ueod as what might be calied & helm, i order that tho unwieldy moustor might not be blown out too far from the shore, At abont 8:50 Wednosday morning thoy happllv succoeded in making & Tanding ou the coast. Up to this time the balloonists hiad no knowledge of tho locality In which they wero, all boing too much engaged to fnquire of tho men 1g tho bont 88 to their whoreabonts. On landlog thoy found that thoy wera about 1 milo wost of Point Potrs, slso called Long Point, tho light-housa Laviog buan in sight for avout an Lour, Irom the time thoy sighted the echoonor until & lnudlnfi was offected wan about two hours, which mado the time pagsod fa the water about four hours.

I. M. GREGORY AND THE PRESS. To the Editor of The Chicago Tridune : Iumos Ixpvatnian Univeusiry, Juno 39.— You have heard of the man who waked up one morping and fouud bimeelf euddsnly becomo famous, Iauspect that, the day bofore, bo bad incontinently attacked the daily nowspaper press, or, which would serve tho samo purposo, that some voporter had done it in his name. Terhaps ho hind advisod & company of clergymen not to apend quito all their loisure time roading the daily papers, thinking 1t bettor that thoy at loast should occanlonally rond s book instesd. -FPos- sibly, be had callod nttontion to tho fact that uewspapers iu genoral are mado up of shork articlos, o sort of hineh of subjects, chopped up in whort and spley discussions, their spaco nob pormitting that full and comploto treatmont found in books, and which requires pationt snd continuous thirking ; nnd 1L may bo that, in the playfulngss of sn unrcstrained fancy, he may have venturod upon anying that ho would aa liof Lavo s pao of dish-water, (uncanntly transiated by tho reporter into " pail of slops) throwa npon him as to eubjeot Lis mind to tho exclualve nourishment of a daily paper, Now, if hodid all this, no wonder that msn waked up fawous, The wonder i that be ever slept at all, or, sleoping, ever lived to wake. -In his dicams he must bave scon innumorabla pens, each as long as that which the Elestor of Baxovy saw in his dream, in the Laud of Dr. Martin Lu- ther, which roached from the door of tho churoh 1n Wittomborg to Rome, aud all busy acratcbing forth ponderous and eloquout articles in defense of tuat dajly preus which his rash and ill-consld- ored words ™ had brought Into peril. In his cars must bayvo rosounded the mora terrible than Vatloan thunders of jnnumerabls steam-printing prosscs, ococh nyln;f off ita thousands of sheats per Lour, Lo groet tholr myriads of roadars with tho nuconquerable asscrtion of thelr high moral tendencies, their gront intollectusl worth, afid thoir vast public importance, and to bold up to tho coutompt ~of mankind tho wretch who had dared to say that, in soms casen, aud to o limited clasa of porsons, & book miglht somotimes prove more profiable resding than a newnpaner, What could the man Lave expectod after such a doclaration ? Did he think to sleop in qulet 1n his berth after throwing s lighted muateh into the powder-magazine? He #hould have read history., Iu the grest ocity of Epheceus, whero once atood that wonder of ‘the world, thio maguificent Temple of Diana, thera waa n gathoring of tho peoplo ono day, aud & cortaln _ traveling preacher from Jorusalom thoughtlessly lot fall somo remarks which ro- locted unfavorably on the worship of Diaoa, and thus throatened to diminish the snlo of shrjucs madp by Domotriue, tho pilversmith. Did the preachor foresco tha offect ? Tue poo- plo rustiod togethor, and nll with ooo voice, about the space of two hours, cried out: ** Great is Diana of the Ephoesinns! ™ Taul was famous from that hoar. 1 too, Mr, Editor, havo suddenly bocome fae mous without iutending it. In alittle familiar talk, tho other day, beforo a fow proachers st Des Moinos, I snid somothing about the dafiy newspapors,—vouturing tLa opinion that an ex- olusive, or eveu much, reading of newspapers tonded to montal dissipation, Thero was some playfulness and pleasantry of illustration ured with it. A reporter was present, and gobbled up avery word, with somo carelcss mixing of tho figures, and an unintentional misconception of tho argumont ; and, over since, my fsmo bas boon ou the iucrease. The papors bave taken me up, not 8o gently s one could wiak to be taken up, sud have houled me around, to bo talked about and wiitton about Ina way almost dis- couraging to s timid porson ; and only to-night o marked papsr csme to me from: {ha far-off Houth; with su cditorial nearly s colnmn anda bLalf long, In which my name occurs soversl times with highly impropor adfectives spnexed tot. Now, Mr. Editor, it belog impoesiblo to recall that littlo speech which the roporter made for me, or to place my own in ita stoad, perhaps I may appease the just indignation of my couptry- mon by quotlug to thom tho woras of the Tonn Clerk of Ephosus, uttered on tha bistorio occa. slon boforo referted to: “Yo mon of Ephosus, what av Is thera that Lnoweth not how thet the city of the Ephesiaua is a worshiper of the great goddess Diaus, and of the image which foll down from Jupitor? Beeing, then, that thogo things eaunot be spoken against, yo onght to bo quilot, and to do nothlng rashly,” Berionsly, 3r. Editor, who doss not know the power and valuo.of the American press? Tho freedom of thio prees standa nexl to’ freedom of wpacch in tho great chartor of our political lib- ertios, 'The press is the watch-dog of our free institutions ; and, with all ita occasional abuses of it priviloges, and its somotimes lack of purity and wisdom, he is uo friend to his country who wonld sce that presa muzzled, or its power abatod. And he who - haw vead, s T bave, for months together, the news- apers of other countrics,—of .
