the Bor. Thomas H. Stockton, of this city.
Vo cheerftilly giro it a placeman our columns,
as a fine specimen of “American eloquence.”
The literary labors'of tills distinguished divine
are worthy of emulation by his clerical ljreth

curate index, a'nd is accompanied with notes,
and adorned by beautiful engravings, Mr. S.
-resides ,in Philadelphia, : and preaches every
. Sabbath in NatioijahHall, Market street:
r, . . KOSSUTH,
There was no man who rejoiced moro. Binceroly
l,in. tho apparently Providential mission of
the Magyar patrioi to our shores. .Talk of the am
bassadors of Austria and Russia! . I mean them ncM
disrespect.'‘ But; certainly, Kossuth was J a nobler
ambaßsador—tho ambassador of the’people. , He
came,declining personal -ho felt
/the need of faith in his Lord.: and MHowoanye be
lieve, ’’.Bays .Christ,-,‘‘.who .receive honor one of
another, and seek,not; the,honor that . cometh from
only,?’;’. He.camo wUh the Bible in his hands
and tho Acknowledgment of the Holy Spirit on his.
lips! Ho came tp conWlt a nation which, with all
its ability io teabh, has yet soinewhat to learn, and
with alt it-has done,' has stHl'sotrietblng to do, He
came ih r the nnmeof spiritual liberty—himself, un
.lessl-mistake-him,-thetypoofthoFreeHeart. He
came in the name of eoclesiastioal liberty,,hearing
from afar, the perpetual prayers of. hiß native land
,for the-PreeChuroh., ; Ho,came in tho name of poli
tical liberty, Innienting poor Hungary as' already,
indeed, iwUllCaliy dead and. buried, but; by,the
grace of'God, blowing ft stirring prelude'to the
trumpet of Her resurrection!" • ' r ■
So ho came—and hero he stood! 'Whatthen?
' Example!.: Wo boast of our example. Our example
is to .revolutionize -tho world;; Tory vyell!; Then
let ua moke- our example what it ought to be, and
let'.us, welcome-and cherish' its proper effects.
Herb, J I say, he stood—the best Representative we
"ever’Baw of aU in Europo who/iuaplrwl by our ek
ample,: honestly endeavored to'lmitate it, andwCro
trampled down iu dust and blood for their wish-’
and effort.' And Washe noteworthy to plcad .their,

■See. .him!-: I setup no idol.. I merely utter my

and waving itaetripeaftlong coasts of des

our Government have worthily- represented us if it
had failed to welcome him ? I, forone, would have

Win’ay be expected,' It shall appear that Europe
has two different classes of claimants for'liberty,
then, let us take advantage of the opportunity to
show how we regard them. ' If, for instance, it
shall appear thflt’pfie of these classes; corrupted by
lust, abandoned to and driven to despera

United States llotbi., 1
, Cut, Aug. 13; 1859.
In looking over tbo list of arrivals at the hotels
in Philadelphia, I nqtice tho names of many tpor
ohints from thq South aqd West,: As jt should bo
the polldy of our jobbers and storekeepers to make
the visit of these strangers to our city as long and
m pleasant as practicable’. I would suggest to our
merchants that they “ treat ” their customers to a*
trip to Atlantia and a view of our sea-side'suburbs,
as The Press happily designates this place:
Not a few of these Southern and Western roor
eftantfhaye their families with them, who oould bo
enjoying the surf <}qring while,tho mer
chants \yoro yaking purchases in the oity. On
Saturday af.MrnOQD.QF; Sunday WQrqing, (he mor
ohant could join his family and enjoy a dip himself
in Old Ocean. .
By putting up throe or four more first-lass ho
tels, this can be pmtfo the most popular sea-bathing
place in the Union; and wo trust that the merchants,
shop-koopers, hotel-keepers, and. all 'others inter
ested jg tjio prosperity of Philadelphia, will aid in
building up and increasing the, attractions of At*
inntic City, for by' so doing tljey.will he increasing
those of Philadolphia'itself. Capo May, it is true,
brings many strangers to the city en‘ route* to the
ocean, but ns.tho steamers' run betweenihatplaoe
and New Yor}c, many of those strangers return
homo by way of the latter city, while those .who
visit tho sea-shore at Atlantic are compelled to re
turn to Philadelphia, in,order tp gel hQfne- In-,
deed, while at Atlantic they’are Tor.all’ business
purposes in Philadelphia, and every dollar spent at
Atlantic is roally spent in Philadelphia. .
’Tbo United aqd ijoaso are to
be great)y enlarged and improved this vfiptor, and
a mammoth brick hotel is to.bo/pnt up in tijpo for.
next- summer's bapdsome cot?

An Overland Trip from Lake Ontario
•; ,to Philadelphia.. - ,
[For Tho Frogs.]
As every journoy must have a starting point,.we
will presume ourselves to have;commenced our
from tho shore of Lake Ontario, at a point where
Sodiis' bay extends Into thefine fanning region of
Wayne oounty. At the entrance of the bay are
some extensive national protections for its com-,
meroo, among whioh are a light-house j breakwater,
life-boat,' Ac. On the eastern shore of thobay are
two extensive oi ties, which were built by the imagi
nation of speculators, previous to tho co&struotlon of
tho Erie Canal, and consequent diversion of trade
from the lake*. , These cities, like’ many Western
ones at the present day, existed on paper; and
hundreds of bpildlng lots,' wharves,’ and business'
sites wero sold to those' who !had never Been there. *
At tho time,of our visit, one solitary schooner, ‘
loading with'firewood,* was the extent of the busi
ness transactions at tho cities .of Port Glasgow and
Loomis’ Landing, if’we.except a; lew reaping ma
chines, with their operators, soouring the fine
crops of grain which now deok the thousand-doliar
building lots of fifty years ago. A ride of a few
miles brought Us to 4he village of Wolcott, whioh,
though laboring nnder some of the disadvantages'
of a town that has grown up in haste, has still
many of the conveniences that make lifo^omforta-'
bio. An extensive establishment for the smelting
of Iron qre was ’in full blast at this place previous
to tho fall of 1857. • • ’
From Wolcott we ppoceodod to Valley, and
thonoe to Olydo, on tho lln'o of thoErlOCainal and
New York Central ftailroad, Though ’somo por
tions of the' Ante were covered with" primeval
forest, a large portion of -the land was well culti
vated, fend forms 1 valued at from" fifty ,to eighty
dollars por aore. • * *
, „Thls portion of New York is the greatest fruit
growing section of the Union, and the quantities
sent to the New York market are enormous.
This year, however, there is not a peach in the
county,.though apples and other fruits are very
abundant. •>-*-£**
This seotion qf cqnntry consists of parallel
ridges of land/ elevated from qno to three hundred
feot in height, extending northward towards the
lake—yin some instances so narrow, on the topfoat
it is necessary to flatten 2 them to giro a sufficient
width for a carriage-road—which, of course, is ex
cellent, ns-all-tho water flows' off At either side
without following alopg tho oarriage track. At
the line whero tho Erie canal orosses the State, the,
ridges appear to Jmve been entirely, demolished,
Icaviug in their'stoad a long plain, known as
(he Dead -Level. * Our ride across this region
was very-disagreeable, the . deep black mud
preventing a footer.gait than a walk* At a point

country Lore' assumes: another' formation. The
central lakes,foavinz a breadth of from ono to flro
miles, and a length of from twenty to fifty, aro
separated by parallel ridges of Jana, of perhaps
twico the width of tho corresponding lakes, And
attain a hoight of from tbreo to seven hundred

of tho death of Robert Porter and Robert MeAdoo
met yesterday morning afc the. Chestnut-street

the purpose of hearing the conclusion of the evi

will bo remembered, were in a small boat, with
others: on TuCa'day qf last week, when .-they oame
in collision with tho steamboat John AL Warner,
and foe boat waffßwamped. The evidence elicited
was .very contradictory, the most intelligent por
tion of tho witnessea-swearing that the pilot of the
Warner made orery effort to avoid the collision,
and finally stopped the engine;'while one or two
witnesses 'testified that the steamboat kept on her
coarse without making, any attSfopt to avoid the
skiff. . t It;was evident, fromitbo "statements of the
witnesses, that tho drowned men and thqir com
panions woro entirely ignorant of the management
of a boat, and that no skill on foe part of the steam
boat pilot would, hnye enabled hiip to keep clear of
a boat which ,wda rowed ncrosshis oow.
• •Tho jury, after deliberating for some time, ren
dered the following verdiot; “ The death of Robert
