I resume my pen at a moment when all Paris is ringing with the details of the most horrible atrocity which has erer, perhaps, figured in the annals of crime. Everything else is for gotten in presence of the shock inflicted on so ciety by this most frghtful violation ot the pri mary law on whish its constitution depends the security of human life. We had enough of sensational matter, and more than enough, Heaven knows, before this terrible Pantin mas sacre occurred, to keep public attention alive and in a state of excitement. A government tumbling, or rather having already tumbled to . ... .it.- j pieces, and nothing apparently ocmggot reauy to replace it; a half-constituted legislature; a sick imperor; a weak, wavering, reactionary ana unpopular ministry ; a clamorous revolutionary press, growing bolder every day in its language and attacks; a' discontented and disappointed population, full of vague aspirations, but in re ality hardly knowing w; at it wants, or how to carry out in practice its new-born enthusiasm for nohtical hhcrtv. Here were elements suN ficient already for contusion end bewilderment Rut all thse, and foreign affairs and troubles to boot Spain, Cuba, Prussian, Raden, the re ported insanity of the Emperor Alexander, as much as the decaying strength and intelli gence of the Emperor Napoleon all, all have been swept aside in presence of the horrors of that field of Pantin, ot wtr.ch posterity hereat ter may well relate that it is called a " field of blood" until this day ! A mother and six chiU dren murdered and gashed and mangled, and just thrust under the sod, with their hands al most sticking out of the ground, as though that were sufficient burial for concealment, on a spot within half an hour's walk from the walls of Paris, and traversed by railway trains from morning till night. Pantin lies between Paris and St. Dennis (itself a mere faubourg now of the capital), and passers to and fro the unsavory locality, which was ai- of the postoffice in his name. Failing in this, he allures Gustave Kinck, to Guebwillerin his lather s uame, thinking, propably, that the son would be sure to get the money ; and then he goes off to Paris himself, calculating, first, to draw Gustave after him, with the 5,500 francs in his pocket, and then the wife and family, with all their other securities and property, and there murder them all and take possession. And extraordinary as it may seem, this astound ing plot proved very nearly successful. Gus tave rvinck went to Guebwiller, and. though he When the valve snapped shut, it cracked like a gun, and made me tremble for a moment it made such a strange noise up there.

His story was utterly incredible from the first, and every circumstance has since gone to prove its falsehood. There can, indeed, be little doubt that Traupmann has been the sole concoctor and instigator of the erime, though it is hardly probable that he could have been the sole perpetrator of it, unless he had succeed ed in first drugging his victims.

"What a spectacle rises up to ones mind's eye as one attempts to realize the scene ot nor rors ! The screams of the vTOman and her chil dren, rising upon the darkness and pilence of the night ; the fearfully intermingled sounds of blows and gashes, and shrieks of hmenta- tions " Rachel weeping for her children which must have intervened before the assas sins could have pursued, overtaken and done their work on all thein victims, and reduced all again to silence more awful even than their cries' And then, immediately comes the in voluntary question. Who could have done all this? Who, and how many and with what suddenness, for him, or them, to have escaped detection or observation, by sight or sound, even in the very act ? The mother was strong and resolute ; there were boys of sixteen and burteen years of age, beside the younger chil dren, whose first instinct, one would think, would be to fly. shouting for help, in all direc tions at once, and who were to be followed, over taken and brought back to the shambles, let at the moment when I write justice lias as yet laid her hand but upon one man. or rather youth, barely twenty years of age, and far from robust in appearance, and stamped him as the sole or chief perpetrator of the dreadful deed. Here is one, certainly, of the chiet mys teries to be yet cleared up in this terrible crime. It is scarcely necessary for me to repeat here, at any length, the endless details, more or less relevant, which will reach you in the published statements of this dreadful transaction. At the present moment the shocking story, divest ed of extraneous circumstances and irreveren ces, seems to amount to this : An industrious and saving mechanic named Kinck, with his wife and six children vail by the same mother), lived at Roubaix. The eldest son, Gustave, was eighteen, the second sixteen, and so on down to the youngest child of three or four years. They had accumlated considerable pro perty for people in their station, to. the extent of 70,000 to 80,000 francs. The family appears to have been for some time what the French term en Tatr, as to their future movements nd residence, the father wishing to return to his native province of Al sace, and the mother not liking to do so. Hence a good deal of gos.ip and talking of their affairs and prospects among themselves and their neighbors. Among the latter were the Traupmans, and chiefly the son, a young man of abut twenty, with whom Kinck the elder seems to have been connected both in business matters and also to have been very communi cative as to his property and future intentions. This Traupman, who is clarly described as b ing of that class of young Frenchmen, so num erous in the present ajre, who are indocils pau perism pati who will brook anything but pov erty, and yet have no mind to wait till they can enrich themselves by honest exertions appears to have formed the deliberate determination to possess himself, some time or other, of the prop erty of the Kinck family, and to avail himself of his knowledge of their affairs only for that purpose. Accordingly, when he knew of, and perhaps instigated, the departure of Kinck the father to Alsace (who had previously remitted thither, through the postiffic3 at Guebwiller, a sum of 5.500 francs with a view to his projec- tive settlement in that part of the country,) Traupmann either joins himself to or follows Kinck, murders him (as is supposed) on the road, and attempts to .get the 5,500 franca out HER EXPERIENCE Mrs. Charles Wise, a wife of the aeronaut made a balloon ascension with him the other day, at Lancaster. She writes When my husband announced that he would sell the vacant seat in his balloon char iot, " Jupiter," I resolved to be. the highest bidder, though it should be a thousand dol lars, when he gravely suggested to me about ;past ten year3 ia unaccountable, but the pay, having, as he said, two cash offers tf tnUt- von nn vmir cmr! fnrt, fifty dollars each. I told him mine was a hundred dollars paid in advance by numer ous charges against him for darning stockings and sewing his buttons on for ten years past. From this he made no appeal, but said all mm " right, you shall go. At ten minutes past four o'clock on Satur day afternoon, Jupiter being sufficiently in flated, I stepped into the wicker car thereto attached, and with a throb of delight loomed up over the centre oi the city. ' ihe multi tude below, with upturned face3 the tat tling sound of martial music the shouts of applause and the earth with its life gradu ally sinking down down down still deep er down, excited me very much, and I invol untarily began to wave my kerchief in re sponse to the happy salutations of good friends below. My husband handed mc the talismanic flag to wave, while he would throw overboard bal last composed of bundles of business circulars, and up, up we went at a glorious rate. My replies to his questions for awhile were only "Splendid! splendid!" My heart was palpitating with joy over the beauties spread out beneath and around, so that I could do nothing but gaze upon the grand scene before me. When we got beyond the built-up part of the city, I ventured my head through the barrier of ropes to look straight down, and beneath I spied what seemed a nice little Christmas garden, with little buildings in the in l-i i i miciaie, wnicn my nusuana tola me was Franklin and Marshall College, and just at this moment a milk-like vapor rushed down before and underneath us, entirely obscuring the world below. All at once my toy and observation changed to a feeling of amaze nient amazement most profound. Oh, what a solemn silence surrounded us. It was an awfully mysterious thing to me, how thL heavenly curtain dewdrops could so eud denly wrap itself around us. The big puffed-up globe above our heads, scarcely visible, seemed to bend and stagger with this load o. tapor weighing upon it. Presently a cheerful, mellow glimmer of light came from above, which cheered us again into conversation. Here Mr. W. threw overboard a considerable bundle of business cards, and it. True, there is the grand old river flow ing along its edge ; here is the great natnral obstruction of the falls which has placed it with the great commercial cities of the coun try, but now when I see your splendid houses and your beautiful streets, all seem to be changed.

Ap- plause.J lie was my early and best devoted friend, and I was his, and 1 can never revert to his memory without reverence and resject. I beg your pardon, gentlemen, I came here with no prepared address ; the time has long since passed since I have attempted euch a thing. I came here simply to thank you for this unexpected reception and honor, and to express the hope that you may continue tob prosperous, and that our country mav be one and united forever. rAnplause.l Pardon me. therefore, for not adding to this address, and for contenting myself by simply thanking you for this honor.

Miss Doolcy, ot Washington city, a beautiful, intelligent and interesting youog lady, who, for some time pist has been teaching school in JMnce George's county, Maryland, about a milo from Fort Washington, was met on the road yesterday morning, while walking from tho house of Mrs. Schaaff, where she boarded, to (her school house, by a colored mao, who has a wife living in this city, and knocked down, (brutally outraged and robbed. Her screams attracted the attention of some gentlemen who 'were hunting in the vicinity, but who,' when they reached the spot found her totally un conscious, and her ravisher gone. As may read ily be imagiced the news of the outrage spread Vapidly through the neighborhood, and, ia a short time the adjoining country was being 'scoured by parties in pursuit of the villain, and towards nightfall he was caught near the scene of his crime,and taken to Piscataway, where he is "now chained to another of his race who Had been previously airested on suspicion. ' Of. his guilt there is, it is said, no doubt, for in his fccuffle with the unfortuuate young lady a cot ton bandage was torn from his hand, left on the ground and found there afterwards by those who . . i . i ...

As they floated about, they shone like silver and gold. Presently we came out at the top of this cloud and here again came a new sceue. How beautifully strange up here great big mass es of white, soft-looking, fleecy clouds below. Oh, they looked a3 soft and silk' as the finest down, and they rolled about, aa it were, in a wanton voluptuousness. " But, where are we now we are entirely partitioned off; how will we get down ?" Mr. W. said : " I will take you down now ; but before we go, let as eat a bite of our provisions, kindly furnished us by our friend, John Sides. " No, indeed," said I, " this is a feast of reason ; I can only feast with my eye3." But, to please him, I ate a few grapes off a bunch placed in the car by John Adams which he was devouring with a gu3to that indicated a Keen appetite, as he also eot out of the basket a roasted fowl to regale himself with. While in this solemn stillness I wa suddenly startled. "Oh, what wa3 that?" Mr. W. said ; " I let off some gas to go down." On Saturday last he had cut his hand with a scythe, and having no rag convenient, he had torn off a piece of the leg ot his drawers, and made a bandage of it, and the rag found cor responds with the piece torn off.
