At seven o'clock yes terday morning the balloon was again allowad to rise, Buislay and McRoberts going in her, and Adama remaining on tara firma. The daring voyageis stripped the frame work from the basket and threw out the cops to increase the boysaay of the balloon, and left with but eighty-five pounds of ballast. The balloon rose rapidly to the height of a me, and moved notbeat before a stiff breeze. It passed over Georgetown, El Corado county, about a quarter before eight o'clock, and at five o'clock this afteroon was seen over. Forest Hill. As the Voyagers bad sont down their overcoats, by Adams, it is plain that they would make no effort to remmin op last night, and they donkt less brougin down the balloon before sundown
