Carrots for Horse. It is admitted by every one who is at ill acquainted with the great nutritve (j jJiti.-scf the carrot, that as a winter f oit f( r horses, to use in f niall quantities caih say ba f a peek to each horse, with their dry food,aud especially in the absence of trecn provender it is of tho utmost value. It not only possesses fatteuing properties equal to oats taking bushel for bushel but it secures to the hcrse, in winter season, fine health, a loose skin, and a glof.y coat of hair,which it is impossible to produce except by the use of the carrot To those keeping horses, who do not raise their own carrots, we would hint that now is the time to procure a supply, while they are being harvested. About twelve bushels to a horse, we think, would bo eufikieut. They should be buried in the usual way, and taken out, a bushel at a time, as they may be wanted. They will in this way keep plump and fresh as the day thty were taken from the field. Ger nutvuwn Telegraph. Kossuth on Government.

The liLrary contained 5djjj00 volumes. Of these about 0,000, ia an adjoining room, were saved. All the""buSb, paintings and elegant fixtures were destroyed. The roof of the building is all burnt oit, and the exterior of the building ou the west blackened bv tho smoke and flanes. The Plxsileit and the members of Lis Cabinet were 01 the ground. An engine was placed in the ivlnda. F:rypassage in the building was flooded with wat-r, as most of it had to be conveyed in buckets. There were many thousands of people present. The dome of tho Capitol was at one time considered iu danger, but this and the two chambers of Congress are uuin jured. The flames were got under about 12 o'clock. The loss on the library is estimated at over $200,000. Many of thes woiks were exceedingly valuable, aud can not be re placed. The firemen were at work all day.

In tho House, Judge Gillis, of Elk, Mr. Bookain, of Cumberland, aud Mr. Rhey, of Armstrong, are the Democratic candi dates for Speaker, Kossnth lias at length reached Washington, the goal of his pilgrimage and hopes; and in his progress thither has developed his great miskiou, and enforced its claims upon the American people, with an irresistible elo quence that Las taken captive the hearts of the masses, and a force of logical de monstration that has carried conviction to thousands of the most cool-headed and cir cumspect among the leading minds of our country. It remains to be seen what ac tion Congress will take upon this impor tant subject. The people Lave already spoken ; and not only from Kossuth's im mediate presence, but from almost every quarter of the Union where his stirring and powerful appeals Lave been borne on tho wings of the press, they have sent back a resolute and enthusiastic response in be half of liberty and the vital principles of international law he so truthfully aud elo quently advocates. It is evident the great majority of the American people are with him heart and hand ; and the potential public opinion of the Union ought to be, and no doubt will continue to be, brought to bear strongly upon their representatives in Congress to favorably influence their action in his behalf. When, in a matter of this kind, constituents take the respon- sibility, the representative need not long haaitata n tlio wofn lin 0K011I.I nut There does not appear to be any good reason why Congress should refuse to re - affirm the well established principle of non-intervention; especially from so abject a motive as fear of offending any of the pi- .irl Vnnrr nf Knrnn. hn h r,rf,t.

Is it becomtntr. ui iuu then, that wo should now begin to falter in the fulfilment of our high destiny, and I 1 ' , falsify tho cherished bone, of th world ?, That we should suddenly exhibit to man kind an emasculated political manhood, that has neither the sagacity to perceive the merits of the impending crisis, or en ergy of purpose to meet the full responsi bilities it may Impose. The Americnuvpeople can not, and will not, remain indifferent to the stwogglea of Eurojx"w nations for freedom and indepen dence ; and we are persuaded they will not readily submit to the idea that our Gov ernment shall look on with supine indiffer ence, while essential principles of interna tional law, in which we are directly and deeply interested, are violated and annul led. The moral iufluencepf our example, upon which so rcueh stress is sometimes laid, has already done all that mere opio ions can do, aud the efforts of the gerniin atmg principles of liberty to blossom an fructify on the soil of Europe, are contin ually mi t and crushed by brute fijree, and tbe contest has become one, that in the very nature of things, can only be settled in favor of the right, by an appeal to arms; a sad alternative, but inevitable,and immeasurably preferable to the frightful submission which is demanded. The crowned demons of Europe care nothing fur principles or opinions ; all they value or fear isoirr. This being the case the opinions and sympathies of our people,un less embodied in some authoritative action of the Government, are but as water pour ed out upon tho sand, and make no im pression ou the other side of the Atlantic. No one asks or expects Congress to rush into a crusade of republican propagandism, or even diverge from the line of safe pre cedents ; but the people do ask that now, when the occasion justly demands it, the constituted authorities of the Union, in the legitimate exercise of the powers with which they are invested, shall promptly and decisively declare in favor of endan gered principles of international law, that all the world, republicans especially, have a right to dera-.nd shall be maintained. This, whilo of itself no more than an act of national duty, will do more for Kos suth and bis cause, than all our popular contributions of money and arms ; and will at the same time place us rectus in cu ria; right before the world, arrest war and bloodshed, hasten the prevalence of uni versal peace, and place it upon a durable foundation. For ourself, we fervently hope, upon principle as well as from sym pathy, that Kos.-uth will be fully success ful in bis efforts to procure from our Gov ernment an official endorsement of the groat principle of his mission.
