A dispatch from Quincy, 111., July C aaya: At the much talked of leap from the balloon made by 1W. T. P. Haidwin at the fair urouuda near thi city to-day, over W.ww iieople witnessed the performance, which was very daring- Haldwiu ascended to a height of one mile, and then, holding his parachute, lanuehod himself into spaco. 1 he parachute was eighteen feet in diameter, and made of cord and atroug silk. When the jump was made it was closed, and the first two hundred fet the aerouaut dropped hkea rocket. Then as tho parachute expanded, the ilescent became less rapid, and tho strange apparatus Moated steadily dowu like a bird, it was a grand sight. The descent was accomplished iu three minutes nml twenty seconds, Riddwiu struck the ground with some force, but uot enough to injure him. The descent varied about a quarter of a mile from vertical, nml tin professor struck the ground about a mile and a half from where the ascent was made. His at tempt to collapse the balloon when jumping failed, and it soared awnv skyward wheu re leased of his weight, lie. made a similar Uap In California last winter, the distance hciug 1,000 feet. KioMN'n KltCOUIIKNIiATIim. A few dllYI ago llrigadier (leiierul Kiglin received from Adjutant Uuuernl Drum at WiiNhiuglon, a lettor asking for information concerning the (iregou militia, and for nny'suggestions tho general might feel like making concerning the organization of the militia. Oen. Siglin in due time replied, and after giving the de sired information slated that ho had just one suggestion to make. "Ever since tho year lKlll," wrote lie, "by the code of tactics the station of tho brigadier geimml has been seventy ynrds in tho rear ot tho center of his brigade when drawn up in line of battle. Since theti Brent improvements have been made in Are arms, and the distance to which a bullet from the rille of an enemy will reach has wonderfully increased. In view of this fact, I would respectfully suggest that it would 1st emiueutly proper for the space be Iweeu the brigadier general and the lino of Willi) to be greatly augmented, and that the general be given several additional aids with which to direct the movements of his troops from the further distance." The Siuslsw, Congressman Hermann las addreised I loiinr in the Secretary of War earnestly urg ing that oilicial lo direct an early survey of n, lur nml harbor. Mr. Herman's state- meiits iu reuard lo the business that ir bt ginning to push Into that section is correct ml an earlv survey should be ordered. The following is the letter: ltusf hi'iio.

In calling upon the engineer oflice at Por'lund, Oregon, Inst week 1 tiud the engineer with out any orders from Washington as yet. There is urgent necessity for this survey. Great improvements have commenced on tie Siuslaw river. Three saluiou canueiie aie established and in construction, a saw mill for export is established und manufacturing lumber in which the country abounds. Three new steamers are on the river, a large number of settlers are tilling the soil, the U. S. mails are running regularly but all these various eutrpriscs are hugely dependent ou an improved outlet to the sen. Steamer and schooners do cuter across across the bar for cargoes but since no survey exists on the bar ot in the harbor no insurance enn be had on enrgoes, export or import. An official survey will aid matters very much. Hut now everything is iu suspense. I therefore urgently appeal lo you for an order ou the engineer corps here to commence survey at oni-e and relieve the public anxiety. Very Respectfully, ltlNOKR Hkhmanm, M. C. City Transfer!.
