The Globe-Democrat correspond ent at Bunker Hill, 111, thirty-two miles northeaFt of here, writes that he saw "Wise's balloon piss there about 6 :30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. From this point the balloon took a course almost directly north, and was seen later in the evening about 10 miics away, between Bunker Hill and Carlenville. There is a very wild and rugged region 15 to 20 miles in extent, known a3 the McConppu creek bottom, heavily timbered and almost uninhabited. There appears to be the bare pos sibility that the balloon descended in this dense wildernes8, and that the aeronauts may have been so ser iously injured they have not been able to get out of it. An expedition to explore this wild section of coun try may be organized. Tally One lor flic FIKhorn Valloy IE. R. Co. The spirit of progress is surely abroad in the land. The evidence of it is not far to seek on every hand. Capital is seeking investment in all the old chauueis of business, and commerce is reviving everywhere. Such an impetus has been given in Nebraska that the next ten years will probably be startling in the rapidity of the development of our uatural resources aud the set tling up of the country. There is nothing that we just now think of as more gratifying to Ncbraskans than the increase this season iu her number of miles of railroad, bring ing communities closer together, in creasing their prosperity, and mak ing their interests inseparable. The following note is the last sounded to the north of us, and shows enter prise. "We congratulate Oakdale upon her good fortune: Oakdale, Oct. 3d, '79. E. V. R.

JUDGE AMASA COBB, "Who received the unanimous vote of the convention will be elected his own successor. No extended notice of him is needed he is already a member of the supreme court, and has given general satisfaction. He is able, honest, and atteuds faithfully to the duties of his office. JNO. L. CARSON AND JOS. W. GANNETT, the former of Nemaha, the latter of Douglas county, are well qualified for the position. "Mr. Carson," says the Omaha Bee, "is ono of tho ablest and most successful business men in southern Nebraska, and Mr. Ganuett's position asauditor-in-chicf of tho Union Pacific railway system, is within itself a guaranty of his superior business qualifications." GEORGE W. POST, "Who received such a strong en dorsement from the Judicial Con vention is, personally, an almost universal favorite throughout his district. The Democratic party will try hard euough to take votes away from him, but they will find the tables turned, and their candidate hopelessly defeated. Mr. Post will be his own successor. STEPHEN S. 31'aLLISTER. Our candidate for County Judge, was born at St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 11th 1849, and is consequently thirty years old. He is the youngest son of Jamc3 McAllister, an old citizen, and a well-known and much res pected man. Young McAllister came with his parents to Nebraska in 1S5S, into Platte county iu 1SG0. In 1871 he began the study of law at the Iowa Law School, Iowa City, and was admitted to practice in the courts of Nebraska, at Columbus, in the year 1S73. He has held the position of Police Judge in this city for four years, and Justice of the Peace upwards of three years, and in the exercise of the functions of those offices has given general, and, so far as wc know, universal satis faction, showing ability, faithfulness and promptness. No man will doubt his ability to discharge the duties of the office with honor to himself and satisfaction to those who may have transactions with him. He is a mau who can thoroughly be re lied on, of good habits, steady, careful, pains-taking, prompt and withal obliging aud courteous. If elected to the office (which his polit ical friends confidently expect) wc predict that the people will be so well pleased with him that he will remain in it as long as he may desire to do so. HARRY C. MAGOON, the caudidate for Sheriff, is a farmer iu the western part of the county, an ardent Republican, a man of strength and courage, and will make a good Sheriff. Harry was born at Lowell, Mass., Oct. 22d 1S46; in 1S55 went with his parents to Minnesota. It will be seen from this that he is a thoroughly western man. Being such when the war of the Rebellion broke out he enlisted for the defence of the government, in the second Company of Minnesota sharpshoot ers, went immediately into the field, his company being attached to Col. Bcrdau's regiment. He was iu 23 engagements. Was with Porter's corps at Hanover Court House; all through the Peninsula campaign under McClcllan at Fair Oaks, Harrison's Landing, Sec. "Was with Hancock's famous corps, at Division headquarters as a sharp-shooter, and was slightly wounded three times. "Was in the 6econd Bull Run fight, at Gettysburg and South Mountain, and all the engagements of the army of the Potomac from its organization to its discharge, anil was never In hospital but one week though wounded three times. On the 25th of August '64, when Hancock lost his corps on the "Weldou R. R., Har ry was captured by the Rebels, taken to Petersburg, then to Libby and to that deatlrs-pcn, Saulsbury, where he languished six mouths, and during which time, out of S,000 prisoners, 5,498 died of starvation. He was exchanged the last of Janu ary, G5, and came home but only to raise a company to start back south again, when Lee's surreirlcr was reported. Mr. Magoon came to Ne braska in 1872, and for the last six years has been Justice of the Peace iu his precinct. "We give Harry's history somewhat at length because voters wish to know, and because a special onslaught is to be made against him. His career allows Harry an ardent Republican, coura geous, determined and active just the kind of man for Sheriff; being, likewise, a man of very generous impulses, he will do all he may, legally, to mitigate the severity of 1 the law against criminals and others. DR. T. E. 3IITCHELL the candidate for Coroner is in every way competent to fill the place for which ho is nominated, being an ac complished surgeon of many years experience iu the army and elsewhere, and an able physician. Iu case of the death or disabil ity of the Sheriff, he would admirably perform the duties of that office. JOHN W. EARLY the caudidate for Treasurer, was born in Columbiana count-, Ohio, in 1814; passed his early youth as Buckeye boys usually do ; when 17 he enlisted in the service against the Rebels, joining the 19th Ohio; was atShiloh, Franklin, Stone River, and other engagements. After his time was out he re-culistcd in the 104th regiment, serving 2 years, and was afterward in the government em ploy until 1805. In '67 he camo to Nebraska, Platte county, and engag ed in farming for seveu years, serv ing his county as commissioner. Sinco the Fall of 1873 he has been in the County Treasurer's office, either as Assistant or Deputy under Mr. Kummcr, that old war Democrat who has held the position of County Treasurer for twenty years. Mr. Early has been trusted by Mr. Kum mcr with the business of the office, and is thoroughly versed with its duties in every particular. John is a very obliging, affable gentlcmau, and of course will be elected. There are yet several weeks of the cam paign, and we will have something more to say of this office, and our candidate. JOHN G. ROUTSON for surveyor, is known to most of our Platte county readers as one of the best of men, and an excellent surveyor. G. "W. SHAFFER for County Commissioner, is a farm er, a man of good judgment who has the interests of the people at heart, and who would carefully guard the affairs of the county in that import ant office. CHARLES A. BRINDLEY candidate for Superintendent of Schools, is a young man, son of Charlc3 Brindley, one of Platte county's oldest and most respected citizens. lie has had about six years experience as teacher, and is very well qualified for the office. He is a man of steady habits, whose conduct will shame none of his friends; affable, agreeable, upright in his transactions, aud will honor himself and the county in the office to which his friends will call him.

It is said that he was the bearer of important orders to General Merritt. General Crook will arrive here to-morrow and will go forward and assume command of the expedition and will personally direct the move ment, of troops. The awful silence at the front in dicates that the worst may be expec ted, and grave fears arc now enter tained for the safety of Capt. Payne and his command. Troops and supplies are being sent to the front with remarkable dispatch, Capt. Gillis, quartermaster, giving the matter his personal attention. Omaha Republican. Forest Fires in JJfetr fork.
