It is all times the duty of the Journalist to give to his readeis the best lights upon any question af fecting the?r interests, which may be accessible to him, and we have endeavored to keep our readers advised from time to time of the mutations in the price3 of the various staple products of the coun try. For some weeks past speculation has been rife as to the probable tendency in the price of Hour, and we have witnessed wheat reaching the unusual price of $1,80 per bushel, while corn, its kindred cereal, is easily bought through the coun try at 30 cents per bushel or Si,50 per barrel, be ing l-6th the price of a barrel of flour. Can this state of things continue ? This is a question which onr formers should ask themselves, and which they should answer and act upon; and while we pretend not to any superior knowledge of the subject ue may express our views, such ns they are, and ask for them nuthingmore than their proper weight as mere suggestions. To begin then with our con clusions. 1st, Wheat cannot go much higher, and toill not lon% remain at pre tent prices. 2d. Palm ers would do well to sell soon and get the tojv of the rise. There can he no question but that the wheat crop of the Union is good, more than suffi cient to supply home demand and average foreign export. What then has caused the present ad vance in the price of flour. Some answer that it is caused by the war in the Ciimea, &c.f and oth eis that it is caused by the short crop in Europe, especially along the Baltic, the wheat region of Europe. The former of the causes is wholly in sufficient for the end proposed. The whole ariny of the Crimea is between 300,000 and 400,000 men. They were previously fed in Europe, consequent ly the consumption is but little increased. Then has production been diminished by the war ?? This is the only alternative. It is apparent to every one that the actual army of the belligerent powers has not been doubled by the war. The excess only then above its original members has to be accounted for. Whence come they ?? Hardly from agriculturists, for it is well known that the greater portion of the recruits of Europe are drawn from the cities and towns, the dregs and the excess of their population. But even if they are drawn from agriculture all must remember that every department of European labor is over lun and cumbered down, and that a draught such as the present war, but purifies and renders avail able those who remain behind to do the labor,? Hence we conclude that the war is not the cause of the high price of flour The crop of Europe may be somewhat short, but from what we can leam ic is nearly au average one, while the pro ducts of Egypt and the East may supply the deticil in the Crimea. Then the immense product of corn, oats, and potatoes in the United Slates must be felt even across the Atlantic, in producing that ultimate approach towards equilibrium in puces, which must ultimately exist in countries trading with each other. At home the effect will be tan gible. Take any given family of moderate means and put flour at S9,00 per barrel, corn meal at St,o0, Irish potatoes at 25 cents per hushel and the amount of ftjnr consumed would he 50 per ct. less than with flour at ?5,00 per barrel. It is right th?t this should be so and so it will be. Our grocers will find corn meal in hourly requisition, and who will say it is inferior to flour iu general conduciveness to health and strength; potatoes will if possible become more of a staple article of con sumption than ever, and the result will be that flour speculators will ere long find they have bought up too much of the article, that the people ' can live without them, and that they will not pay the prices which they had to pay last year. Til? Virginia State Fairs. The Richmund Dispatch of last Wednesday, in its account of the State Agricultural Fair, and the Fair of the Virginia Mechanics' Institute, says: In the stock department, including blooded hor ses, the exhibition far surpasses that of last year in the type of the animals, though the number is nothing like as great. lied Eye, lievciiue, Finan cier, Voltaire, Polydore, Emperor, Morgan Hunter, Sarah W ashington, Nina, Selene, and a host of < ihets were gieally admired f??r their symetry of form and sprightly appearance; but none of them arrested more attention with the judges of hmses than a year old colt by Childe Harold out of Sarah "Washington, and owned by Thomas W. Doswell. Without exception, we look upon him as the most perfect specimen of horse flesh that we have ever seen, and feel assuied that he will prove a racer inferior to none that have preceded him. On the trotting track, a number of fast, and showy "crab?," in single and double harness, were ex* hibited; after which Oie trotting champion, "Kos suth" made hss appearance, and took a short spin around the course lor the gratification of his friends. To say that he is by far the fastest stallion tnat ever madea track in Virginia, is but to repeat what judges have asserted long since. We also noticed several of his colts, which are really beautiful, to one of which a premium will be iiwureed in the course of b day or two. In the cattle department, the specimens exhib ited cannot be excelled, as all admit who have seeu them. And the variety and quality of sheep are unusually good. The poultry exhibition bears no comparison in quantity, to that of last year, but the quality is equally as good. All in all, the Fair is a creditable one, and should atimilate our farn ers to renewed exertions, so that in the future nothing will be wanting to do them the amplest justice. Paik. of tmk Va. Mechanics' Institute.?The large and fashionable assemblages that continue to throng the exhibition rooms of the Mechanic's In stitute, give the best evidence of its complete sue eess, and of the general interest felt in that Insti tution, which has for its sole object the prosperity of the State and the advancement of her people. We have never witnessed a more grand display of Virginia manufactures, Virginia art, and Virginia productions, than are to be seen at the Fpu, ma have we ever seen the people of the Old Domin ion so thoroughly aroused to the importance ot en couraging "home" industry, than they now ap pear to be. The friends of the Institute only regret that every town and village in the State have not con tributed their quota to swell the present exhibition to thai mammoth size to which it is destined to ar rive. /They are not laboring for Richmond only, but for the whole of Virginia?her prosperity ami her greatuess?and they desire the aid of every section in carrying out their laudable designs.? Like the Agricultural F.-?ir, the Mechanics' Insti tute, situated as it is, in the capital of the Old Dominion, is intended as the nucleus from which sister organizations may spring lorth into lite, and contribute to ih* improvement or mechanism, manufactures and arts, thereby relieving our glori ous old mother?Virginia?of her present depen dence, and making her what she should be, the bright particular star in the galaxy of our confed eracy in all that tends to the wealth, education and happiness of her people. Horrible Arrant in Urbana.?The Ohio S:ate Journal relates the following: On Priday last, Judge Williams, of Union co. atone time Associate Judge of that county, while iu a state of lutoxication, seated himself ou the railroad track, in the vicinity of Urbana, and was knocked off the track by a freight train, and his foot crushed in such a manner that amputation had to be resorted to the same night. We learn that Judge Wil.iams died last night from the effects of injuries received at the time. It is due to the en gineer of the train to say that when he fqund the person would not leave the track, he reversed the engine and jnmped off and endeavored to ruu ahead of his machine to save Mi. Wijli'ams, but missed it by not more than two steps. The Judge tfaves a wife and children to moqru his loss. [ From the Louisville Courier. J ^ A Voyage in the Upper Dee] MOXS. CODARD's BAL.LOO* ASCENSION. It was 5 o'clock on one of the blessedestand sun shiniest Saturday afternoons ever vouchsafed in tbernooth of October. The spectators within were anxious; the outsiders were clamorously impatient. ?Allons,' shouts Mous. Godard. ?Let her go/ echoes his interpreter. Immediately the liues were cut loose, the sand bags thrown out, and up nnd away the huge America sails, the music play ing the 'Old Folks at Home/ and the vast con course shouting with their ten thousand throats. Mons. Godard climbs up among the netting, and his conpagnonM r/u -voyagK five in nomber, wondering at their own temerity, shoot back to the fast receeding earth, wave hats in recognition of friends* and starred and stripped flags in demon stration of their patriotism. The house tops are cleared. We have a lair open field before us in the clear expanse vof air. The privacies of the town are visible, for we look down into hack yards and through open chimnies. The Brook street spire appears like the point of a hod kin, and the street througed with people dwindle into mere threads. Approaching the river we ascended higher, and looking below upon the placid stream, we can discover our giand ship mirrored on the bosom of the distant tide. There are but two or three steamets at the wharf, and they, to our vision, seem like mere cock-boats. Turning to the westwmd, Portland is distinctly visible with five steamers at the landing, while New Albany I sits upon the opposite shore, a miuature city, as I if its houses were but chi dren's toys. Far away i in the distance is a line of black s.uoke hovering over the river, and just in advance we descry a steamboat ploughing the river. It, however, is soon lost to sight where the Ohio enters iherance of hills commencing at the inouth of Salt River. Hovering over Jeflersonville, we see that our Hoo sier friends have become infected with the curiosi ty, and are straining their necksand eyes to scan the terial wonder. Here we i ave time for retrospection. But first, a moment for thought. Our individual prepara tion for the voyage was so hasty, and our inten tion to make the trip formed so suddenly, thai we actually ha 1 no tun- to think of the perils that might environ u wanderer in the upper deep. An overcoat borrowed, and an oral well delivered to a friend, and we had started off" upun the journey to parts uuknowu. At the outset, the novelty ol the whole scene, and (he constant recurrence of new objects to be looked at, banished all thoughts of our unusual position. We had no opportunity, being so busily eugaged otherwise, to tnj^y the sensations said to be incident to novices iu such excursions. As a matter of course, therefore, we ' were deprived of these emotives common to a de pi rtu re from this terrestrial sphere. Indeed it is not necessary that we should gloss over the truth in denying the absence of fear. Swinging in mid | air several thousand bet above the eaith, a fr?il ! basket the only barter between saletvand destruc tion, we were astonished at our own self posses sion, and that of all our companions. Not to either our bravery or recklessness do'we attribute this feeling of security and calmness, but rather to that rare purity of the atmosphere that prevailed every fibre of the frame, that gave keener v:.-ion to the eyes and acuter hearing to the ears, and that while hiding the deformities of the earth, which we were leaving, heightened its man ifold beauties. Looking back from beyond the river, Louisville appeared draped within a blueish haze, through which every building and the course ol every street were plainly visible. Seuth of the city the coun try was spread out as if it were an elaborately drafted inap. Fences and other division lines were impalpable; the only recognizable feature* of the landscape being the color of the fields and the alternation of woods and pastures. The line of the Nashviile Railroad was slretchtd out 11 nlil it converged into nothingness, while the various turnpikes, at first like be.ts of white cloth, were swallowed up iu the distance. The Salt liver hills were veiled in the mists of Indian summer, and beyond them rose other and higher mountains, bounding the horriznn. East or the city the pros pect was even finer, the country being more di versified by houses and farms. In the far-off woods, where the Frankfort '.ailroad became lost to our sight, we thought we described Peewee Valley. Hut doubtless ii was only a supposition. Jefler-onville left behind, and we sped gaily on mounting higher and higher as Mons. Godard re lieved the balloon of ballast, which pattered like rain upon the trees below. Then we attained our greatest altitude, the oljectson earth dwindling into ti e utmost insignilicence, and the horrizou widening around us. The prospect at this time was leally sublime, the ?*rand circular panorama spreading before us with its variegated scenes, its forests and meadows and mountains, and the Ohio, like a silver belt, winding amid all the prospects ot loveliness. The balloon appeared to move slowly, or rather it had no perceptible motion to those in the car. Above us was the grand silkeu dome, to which our basket was "pendant, apparent* ly'stationnry. All was calm, and it was a luxury to sit in the seemingly motionless car, not a breath of air stirring, while we were waited by unseen attendants?swiftly it must have been, for ti e landscape immediately below us was constantly changing, new features being presented every mo ment. The vast forests lying to the North and East of Jeffersonvilte were unusual'y beautiful iu their autumnal robes, the beech trees flaunting their golden liveries to every Lretze that sighed among them. During all this time we had not noticed any change in temperature, but now, u' we ascend, there was a perceptible difference. Very sudden ly we encountered a current of air that seemed to belong to a frosty morning in winter. But ibis w s only a moment: ry sensation, and we were again in a comparatively warm region, though the at-' mosphere was highly rarifled, and breathing ii had a wonderfully ^xhilirating effect. As the shades of night were falling, and the pros pect for making a sale landing after dark in a section of country so heavly timbered as that we were pass ing over was but slight, Mons. Godard thought it best to prepare for a descent. All regretted the necessity of this course, for we had just learned whata luxury it was coursing through the untramel ed air. The vavle being opened, we commenced descending slowly, the commander of our ciaft be ingon the lookout forltn open field where we could make the landing in safety. Rearing the earth we passed over several farm houses, the inmates ol which hailed us with inquires as to our route and destination. The distinctness with which we heard these calls was truly wonderful, considering our treat elevation. Finally, the proper spot was dis covered ami the Monsieur bade us, in Ins best French, sit perfectly still when we touched tie ground. Down and down we came, so rapily that we expected a g-and smash up of the basket when term Jimia should be reached. Hut such w;-s not the case. Mous. G. threw out his anchor, which cathiug in a fence, made fast and pulled the fence niter us. This not proving a sufficient anchorage, it caught in a stump, and we * ere in a moment on the ground. Hut scarcely had we touched tre the balloou bounded in the air some fifty feet, and then as if suhdued, sank quietly down. We had some trouble in extricating ourselves from the basket, as it had an inclination to upset, caused by the sway ing of the balloon. Finally all were out, by u hich time the inmatrs of a house near by had tome up, attracted by then uiisual visitor on tiieir land. Short ly afterwards other neighbors arrived, and iu less than fifteen minutes we were surrounded by over twenty-five men from the various farms in the vi cinity. All were delighted at the visit we had unexpectedly paid them, and demonstrated their pleasure by assisting as in the labor necessary for securing our monster vessel, Morethan an ho ir was required to expel the gas from the ball* o i, which interesting procedure required the combin ed 'pressure of all hands present. This much be ing effected, the next step was procuring a convey ai.ee to bring us home. And here conies the ttuf'of war. We bad found no difficulty in getting into the field, but the rul? was to get out. It was nearly a mile to the Charles town plank road, through fields where briars grew taller and thornier than were everseen elsewhere, and woods where stumps and fallen logs covered the whole ground. A path for the wagon thai was obtained from one of the farmers had to be search ed out, and on that mission of discovery, Moris. Michot, the jeweller, and >our correspondent, per formed services that were honorably mentioned by Momp, Godard in his choicest French. It was nine o'clock ere the balloon was paoked up securely, and all was in readiness for the trip home Seven stout men were required to lift the huge affair in the wagon, as it weighed (empty) over six huud red pounds. In the meanwhile, the moon for our lamp and the grass for our table, we had partaken of a splen did lunch, hospitably provided for us by Mr. Mav berry on whose premises we were. Other'condi ments,' such as milk, &c.f brought from the city, were tasted and their quality acknowledged to have decidedly improved by the serial journey. At last all things are iu readiness. We shake hands all around with our kind Hoosier friends. We pilot the wagon through the briar patch, open three gaps in the fences, and succeed in reaching the plank road. The drive to Jeffersonville was soon accomplished, despite the unreasonably rough road and we enter llut town with our flags waving and our French friends singing the Marseillaise Hymn. It is hut a short ride by steam across, the river, above which we so recently floated. Home again, we find ourselves in a glow of satisfaction at the ??ood time we had enjoyed, with a score of anxious f lends awaiting our arrival Our journer was abort an^iweet, like a stolen kits, we hieing landed about one and a half miles back of Utica, Ind.. and the time occupied in the voyage being Ira than a half hour. A few words in praise or Mans. Godard. Every spectator of the beautiful ascension must bare been convinced that he is a master of bis profes sion. We that were with him had the amplest opportunity of fudging of his skill. He is cool, daricg, modest, and caieful; a man to fill one with both admiration and astonishment. On the occa sion cf his ascension next Thursday, let the grand spectacle be witnessed by thousand* of i?iying persons. Our 'eoodlie companie' consisted of the follow ingJt'ghly individuals: Mon?. Michot, the celebra ted jeweller, .Mon. Zedurf, Mons. * Havis, Mr. McMullen, and Tours, airily, SB DE KAY. i roni the Louisville Journal.
