Bearful Adventure of Two Children in a The recent death of Eleazor Williams, claim. ae ant for some years past to the style and dignity of a French Prince, naturally enough suggests to us rememberance of many other, names, as those belonging to individuals who have promalgated their own near connection with thrones, if, indeed, they have not insisted on being the legal occupants of thrones themselves, The first is one who claimed precisely the same dignity as the deceased had done since the ear 1853. Passing under the title of Duke of ormandy, he was known to the European public for a loog time between the restoration of the Bourbons to the throne of France and the thirteenth and fourtcenth year of Feuis Philippe’s reign. He, too, claimed to be the son of the unfortunate Louis the Sixteenth, and Marie Antoinette—Dauphin of France by birth, and legitimately Louis the Seventeenth, king from the date of his father’s beheading. . By the many, the claims of this idividual were ridiculed, but there were some whom itwat only reasohable to suppose better informed on the subject, who accredited this Duke of Normandy just for what he assumed to be. In person and feature he bore a strong resemblance to Louis and Marie; in age he was the same the bona fide prince would have becn, if spared ; he also had various marks about his body, which, in challenging an examination into his claims, he said would identify him with the son suppos: . ed to be dead, in the eyes of people who had been made acquainted with the same in the days of his infancy. To several of the French royal family he pointed, indicating them as the witnesses he desired to be called to the stand ina court of justice. But useless were all bis endeavors, There was no court of competent jurisdiction for his case, and so he continued in obscurity, He was a man of high scientific acquirements, and at the date of his death was busily employed on the perfecting of a machine that must have put an end, it was supposed, to war forever. He left a large family, in poverty, to mourn bis loss; and what may be instanced as some evidence of the justice of his claims, oe iife has been often imperilled by an unknown hand, But France ia not singular among European nations for its claimants to royalty. Hngland has taken her part in that game. Cilia on further back than the commencement of Queen Victoria’s reign, we find first, an elderly gentlemau anxious for recognition as King, on the assumption that he was the only son of George the Fourth by a marriage pre-dating that of the monarch, while Prince of Wales, with Caroline of Brunswick, Then up starts another, who prefers a claim to the paternity of the Duke of York. And then a third, who claims to be the Queen’s brother himself, and therefore entitled to the purple in precedence of her. Instances of this kind could be multiplied, and of course never gained a convert. At the same time others have risen of a complexion to inspire a shrewd suspicion that a crown is often diverted from its proper head and placed upon . one not legally entitled to wear it. An example . occurred some years ago in the case of one} Caspar Hauser, a youth freed from a dungeon through the benevolent exertions of Karl Stanhope, a British nobleman, Everythiog connected with this young Hauser—his imprisonment, what he could reveal, the efforts made to get. him back a prisoner—pointed to one plain hypothesis; it was that in him Baden would have recognized her Grand Duke and ruler, had the many outside the curtain of State politics been as wise as the few inside.—N. YF. News. Derressions oF THE Eantu.—Surprise has been manifested and inquiries bave been made asto the cause of mountains, but the cause . whieh produced the valleys or depressions of . the earth is just as much a matter of wonder, . Some suppose—indeed, it is a very general opinion, that all the lower parts of the earth’s) surface are covered with water, but this is not . exactly 60. Seas, lakes and rivers are only lower than surrounding lands, but there are many inhabitable portions of our globe whieh are much lower than some great seas and lakes, Thus the wacers of Lake Erie are about two hundred feet higher than the rich cultivated plains surrounding Lake Ontario, but the latter lake is some feet lower than these plains, and is the receptacle of their drainage waters. The most extensive and wonderful depression of the earth isin Asia, Itis avast region of about 18,000 square leagues ; it is occupied, to be sure, mostly by the Caspian Sea, but it also contains populous cities and extensive cultivated districts situated ina depression of three hundred and twenty feet below the level of the Black Sea. It isan opinion pretty generally admitted by scientific men of the present day, that mountains have been formed by the upheaving of their materials, and that they have issued from the bosem of the earth. Asia abounds in lofty mountains, and the vast depression of the Caspian Sea and its adjacent plains is surrounded with great mountain chains, hence it is supposed that the elevation of these masses cause the consequent depression of the Caspian valleys.—[Scientific American. carried off accidentally in a balloon, at Centralin, Missouri, oceurred on the 17th of Sept. An arvnaut, named Wilson, had made a successful ascent, and descnded again sixteen miles from his starting point, about two miles from Rome, Jefferson county, entangled in a tree, and Mr. Benjamin Harvey, his family and otbers, disentangled it, and towed it to the house of Mr, Harvey, where they attempted to haye some sport by ascending the length of the rope / which it was held. Proving teo heavy to rise, Mr. Harvey stepped out and put in his three children, a lad of three years, a girl of eight, and a still older girl. At this point Mr. Wilson called out to those holding the rope to be sure and hold fast, But the three children were’ too heavy, ‘and the eldest was taken out. At this instant, through the unwatchfulness of the persons at the cords, the balloon group. The children ecreamed, with horror, and the piteoas appeal, “pull me down father!” as it grew fainter and fainter, rendered the parents, and indeed all present, for the time, perfectly frantic. It was now past eeven o’clock, and becoming dark, and ihe balloun was soau lost sight of, A period of more intense wretchedness to the paternal heart can scarcely be imagined. As there was little wind, the balloon had gone almost directly upwards, till its disappearance in a southerly course. Messengers were dispatched through the region in every direceion, and the alarm spread rapidly, creating everywhere the most intense excitement. In all quarters the men and boys ralied in parties to scour the country and search the woods, with the expectation that the victims would, somewhere descend, and be subjected to the perils of drowning, or starving, undiscovered. At Centralia the intelligene ecaused an indeseribable sensation, The idea became current that they must encounter a friged atmosphere which they could not survive, It was about three o’clock on Saturday morning that Mr, Ignatin Atchison, living on Moore’s prairie, eight miles from Mount Vernon, got “to see the blazing star’’—the comet. An immense spectre rising from a tree, about twenty yards distant, rather appalled him, and he reentered the house and awakened his family, On his coming out again, a weak and piteous voice called to him from the spectre, “Come here and let us down; we're almost froze!’’ Mr. Atebison speedily preceived the astonishing nature of the case, mustered help, cut away several limbs of the tree, and drew the ear in safety to the ground! The little boy was first lifted out, and when placed upon his feet. he instantly ran for several yards, then turned, and for a moment eontemplated the balloon with apparently intense euriosity, The little girl told her sorrows and adventures, with an almost broken heart, to these people, who, strange to say had not heard of the disaster, A messenger arrived at Mr. Harvey's, cightransporting tidings that the children were safe. We will leave it to our reader's heart to suggest the joy which the intelligence caused. It was late in the afternoon when the little ones arrived, their parents. The little girl is nanied Martha Aon, and her little brother David Isam. She says that he soon cried himself to sleep, and that she cried till she slept a little, and then awakened in the tree. Tuk Herxpon Mrpat.-—-The medal ordered to be prepered by the Virginia Legislature, in honor of the late Capt. Herndon, of the ill-fated steamship Central America, and to be presented to his widow, has been finished. From a description of it in the Richmond Anguirer, we copy the following : The Hernden medal is of pure gold, about two inches in diameter, On one side is depicted in bold relief the scene of the tempest, the life-boat crowded with passengers aud etruggling with the waves, the steamer half dismentled and the heroic commander standing resolutely on an elevated part of the wreck, necesvarily small scale of the picture does not admit of any strict accuracy in the depiction of the human figures, but, like the beautiful symbolic engravings from the antique, it is sufficiently distinct to relate in an unmistakeable form the now well known story of the Christian bero’s self-sacrificing devotion. Around this deviee are inscribed the following words: “Devotion to duty, Christian conduct. and genuine heroism respected snd revered.”’ The reverse of the medal bears the following inseription, surrounded by a delicate olive wreath, wrought with exquisite finish and minuteness: “Presented to the widow of Captain William Lewis Herndon, United States Navy, by Virginia, us a testimonial of respect for her virtuous sou, &® noble and gallant officer. 1858.” RalLroaps in Cuite.—Private correspondence infurms us that the Chileans, and particularly those of Valparaiso and Santiago, are greatly incensed at the Americans residing there mainly for the reason that these latter obtained the late lettings for constructing railPreparations For AnoTner State.—The increase of population in the upper peninsula of Michigan and in the northern counties of Wisconsin and Minnesota, has become so numerous that movements are now making for the creation of a new Territory from a portion of these respective States. Petitions are in circulation for presentation to the Legislatures of those States, asking them to cede to the general government such territory aa borders on Lake Superior. They allege that the interests of the country proposed to be separated, are distinct from those of the remaining portions ef the States; that the principal occupation of the inhabitants of the country bordering on the lake must ever be that of mining, while that of those other portions of the respective States must necessarily be that of agriculture. The people also complain that in their remote position from . the State capitals, it renders it impossible to communicate to the seats of government for . more than one-half of the year, and that in the summer season. The present population of the roposed Territory is now excecding twenty thousand, and rapidly increasing. By allowing @ Territorial confederation. a seat of government could be so located as to render the the distance of travel to it by the masses of the people less than two hundred miles ; while neither of the three State capitals ean at present be reached by a journey of less than one thousand miles, Under those difficulties on the one side, and the anticipated benefits on the other, there seems no reason why the new Territory of Ontonagon should not be created.—[N.

In person and feature he bore a strong resemblance to Louis and Marie; in age he was the same the bona fide prince would have becn, if spared ; he also had various marks about his body, which, in challenging an examination into his claims, he said would identify him with the son suppos: . ed to be dead, in the eyes of people who had been made acquainted with the same in the days of his infancy. To several of the French royal family he pointed, indicating them as the witnesses he desired to be called to the stand ina court of justice. But useless were all bis endeavors, There was no court of competent jurisdiction for his case, and so he continued in obscurity, He was a man of high scientific acquirements, and at the date of his death was busily employed on the perfecting of a machine that must have put an end, it was supposed, to war forever. He left a large family, in poverty, to mourn bis loss; and what may be instanced as some evidence of the justice of his claims, oe iife has been often imperilled by an unknown hand, But France ia not singular among European nations for its claimants to royalty. Hngland has taken her part in that game. Cilia on further back than the commencement of Queen Victoria’s reign, we find first, an elderly gentlemau anxious for recognition as King, on the assumption that he was the only son of George the Fourth by a marriage pre-dating that of the monarch, while Prince of Wales, with Caroline of Brunswick, Then up starts another, who prefers a claim to the paternity of the Duke of York. And then a third, who claims to be the Queen’s brother himself, and therefore entitled to the purple in precedence of her. Instances of this kind could be multiplied, and of course never gained a convert. At the same time others have risen of a complexion to inspire a shrewd suspicion that a crown is often diverted from its proper head and placed upon . one not legally entitled to wear it. An example . occurred some years ago in the case of one} Caspar Hauser, a youth freed from a dungeon through the benevolent exertions of Karl Stanhope, a British nobleman, Everythiog connected with this young Hauser—his imprisonment, what he could reveal, the efforts made to get. him back a prisoner—pointed to one plain hypothesis; it was that in him Baden would have recognized her Grand Duke and ruler, had the many outside the curtain of State politics been as wise as the few inside.—N.

Derressions oF THE Eantu.—Surprise has been manifested and inquiries bave been made asto the cause of mountains, but the cause . whieh produced the valleys or depressions of . the earth is just as much a matter of wonder, . Some suppose—indeed, it is a very general opinion, that all the lower parts of the earth’s) surface are covered with water, but this is not . exactly 60. Seas, lakes and rivers are only lower than surrounding lands, but there are many inhabitable portions of our globe whieh are much lower than some great seas and lakes, Thus the wacers of Lake Erie are about two hundred feet higher than the rich cultivated plains surrounding Lake Ontario, but the latter lake is some feet lower than these plains, and is the receptacle of their drainage waters. The most extensive and wonderful depression of the earth isin Asia, Itis avast region of about 18,000 square leagues ; it is occupied, to be sure, mostly by the Caspian Sea, but it also contains populous cities and extensive cultivated districts situated ina depression of three hundred and twenty feet below the level of the Black Sea. It isan opinion pretty generally admitted by scientific men of the present day, that mountains have been formed by the upheaving of their materials, and that they have issued from the bosem of the earth. Asia abounds in lofty mountains, and the vast depression of the Caspian Sea and its adjacent plains is surrounded with great mountain chains, hence it is supposed that the elevation of these masses cause the consequent depression of the Caspian valleys.—[Scientific American. carried off accidentally in a balloon, at Centralin, Missouri, oceurred on the 17th of Sept. An arvnaut, named Wilson, had made a successful ascent, and descnded again sixteen miles from his starting point, about two miles from Rome, Jefferson county, entangled in a tree, and Mr. Benjamin Harvey, his family and otbers, disentangled it, and towed it to the house of Mr, Harvey, where they attempted to haye some sport by ascending the length of the rope / which it was held. Proving teo heavy to rise, Mr. Harvey stepped out and put in his three children, a lad of three years, a girl of eight, and a still older girl. At this point Mr. Wilson called out to those holding the rope to be sure and hold fast, But the three children were’ too heavy, ‘and the eldest was taken out. At this instant, through the unwatchfulness of the persons at the cords, the balloon group. The children ecreamed, with horror, and the piteoas appeal, “pull me down father!” as it grew fainter and fainter, rendered the parents, and indeed all present, for the time, perfectly frantic. It was now past eeven o’clock, and becoming dark, and ihe balloun was soau lost sight of, A period of more intense wretchedness to the paternal heart can scarcely be imagined. As there was little wind, the balloon had gone almost directly upwards, till its disappearance in a southerly course. Messengers were dispatched through the region in every direceion, and the alarm spread rapidly, creating everywhere the most intense excitement. In all quarters the men and boys ralied in parties to scour the country and search the woods, with the expectation that the victims would, somewhere descend, and be subjected to the perils of drowning, or starving, undiscovered. At Centralia the intelligene ecaused an indeseribable sensation, The idea became current that they must encounter a friged atmosphere which they could not survive, It was about three o’clock on Saturday morning that Mr, Ignatin Atchison, living on Moore’s prairie, eight miles from Mount Vernon, got “to see the blazing star’’—the comet. An immense spectre rising from a tree, about twenty yards distant, rather appalled him, and he reentered the house and awakened his family, On his coming out again, a weak and piteous voice called to him from the spectre, “Come here and let us down; we're almost froze!’’ Mr. Atebison speedily preceived the astonishing nature of the case, mustered help, cut away several limbs of the tree, and drew the ear in safety to the ground! The little boy was first lifted out, and when placed upon his feet. he instantly ran for several yards, then turned, and for a moment eontemplated the balloon with apparently intense euriosity, The little girl told her sorrows and adventures, with an almost broken heart, to these people, who, strange to say had not heard of the disaster, A messenger arrived at Mr. Harvey's, cightransporting tidings that the children were safe. We will leave it to our reader's heart to suggest the joy which the intelligence caused. It was late in the afternoon when the little ones arrived, their parents. The little girl is nanied Martha Aon, and her little brother David Isam. She says that he soon cried himself to sleep, and that she cried till she slept a little, and then awakened in the tree. Tuk Herxpon Mrpat.-—-The medal ordered to be prepered by the Virginia Legislature, in honor of the late Capt. Herndon, of the ill-fated steamship Central America, and to be presented to his widow, has been finished. From a description of it in the Richmond Anguirer, we copy the following : The Hernden medal is of pure gold, about two inches in diameter, On one side is depicted in bold relief the scene of the tempest, the life-boat crowded with passengers aud etruggling with the waves, the steamer half dismentled and the heroic commander standing resolutely on an elevated part of the wreck, necesvarily small scale of the picture does not admit of any strict accuracy in the depiction of the human figures, but, like the beautiful symbolic engravings from the antique, it is sufficiently distinct to relate in an unmistakeable form the now well known story of the Christian bero’s self-sacrificing devotion. Around this deviee are inscribed the following words: “Devotion to duty, Christian conduct. and genuine heroism respected snd revered.”’ The reverse of the medal bears the following inseription, surrounded by a delicate olive wreath, wrought with exquisite finish and minuteness: “Presented to the widow of Captain William Lewis Herndon, United States Navy, by Virginia, us a testimonial of respect for her virtuous sou, &® noble and gallant officer. 1858.” RalLroaps in Cuite.—Private correspondence infurms us that the Chileans, and particularly those of Valparaiso and Santiago, are greatly incensed at the Americans residing there mainly for the reason that these latter obtained the late lettings for constructing railPreparations For AnoTner State.—The increase of population in the upper peninsula of Michigan and in the northern counties of Wisconsin and Minnesota, has become so numerous that movements are now making for the creation of a new Territory from a portion of these respective States. Petitions are in circulation for presentation to the Legislatures of those States, asking them to cede to the general government such territory aa borders on Lake Superior. They allege that the interests of the country proposed to be separated, are distinct from those of the remaining portions ef the States; that the principal occupation of the inhabitants of the country bordering on the lake must ever be that of mining, while that of those other portions of the respective States must necessarily be that of agriculture. The people also complain that in their remote position from . the State capitals, it renders it impossible to communicate to the seats of government for . more than one-half of the year, and that in the summer season. The present population of the roposed Territory is now excecding twenty thousand, and rapidly increasing. By allowing @ Territorial confederation. a seat of government could be so located as to render the the distance of travel to it by the masses of the people less than two hundred miles ; while neither of the three State capitals ean at present be reached by a journey of less than one thousand miles, Under those difficulties on the one side, and the anticipated benefits on the other, there seems no reason why the new Territory of Ontonagon should not be created.—[N.
