We publish this morning a card from Dr. McC&xntock, in reply to a long article pub lished in our paper a few days since, from Mr ■ ~ H. P. LAmn,„ of Westmoreland. . «'•. we refer to, closes the controversy so far as the Mommy Post is concerned- Mr.' y- r Laird and Dr. McClintock have both had a hear ing, and, as the matter* is growing a little too > personal to be either “ interesting or instruc tive,” we think it shall stop here. From our intimate knowledge of Dr McGmr- TOOK—and we have known him from early boy v» hood—we cannot conceive the idea that he could be, guilty of *a falsehood, or a dishonorable act. -We appreciate him too highly as a friend and a fellow, citizen, to prostitute our columns to the use of those whose malignhnt feelmgsmayprom.pt them to assail him in a dishonorable manner, and the malice of his enemies must hereafter . find name other channel of attack thgp the col* - -Ulflnß of the Mommy Post. From the accounts given in our New York and Philadelphia exchanges, we should judge that the entree of Kossuth into New York was one of the most grand and imposing spectacles, ever " Witnessed; because it was the united offenug of homage from hundreds of thousands of free citr izens, to a solitary individual—an exile from home and country—without the power of patron- age—-and seeking for nothing for himself, that «*aay not be equally shared with his countrymen- Ho monarch oh earth could at this moment call forth hosts of exulting freemen; —no man on earth could enlißt the sympathies and the most . . ardent affections of all men, as does Louis Ko«- .- suth ; and all this is owing to the fact, the single fact,, that he is at this moment the trne embody ment of the great inns of the age—Republican Freedom! His progress in the world, from the moment that he came under, iho promotion of V Stars and Stripes, has been one of glory and triumph only ; for the People, wherever ho has ... . gone, seemed to look upon his imprisonment ns > ; ■ the ocoultation olrthe Star of Europe, and his .'liberation is regarded—and most -aptly too—as the glorious beaming of that Star in the zenith of political power for tbe masses ■ While New York has been arrayed in all this splendor of a holiday, in order to honor the OKEat idea in the person of Kossuth, Philadel phia and Baltimore are both stretching out their amis to welcome him. The preparations that have been made in both these cities, are alike creditable to them, and to their country. Phila delphia will receive him with all her patriotic Citizen Soldiers and nearly all her Societies of • of every , kind. Her German population will • vunite to a man in honoring the great chieftain ; and all that.can be offered in demonstration of • - their devotion to the cause, will be freely offered. . . ..Baltimore has made preparations in accordance with-Tier ancient system of true hospitality; and - the most honored of all her honored sons have ..been.deputed to take the most active part in de claring, to Kossuth the welcome of the Monu mental City. -. . - As citizens desirous of advancing the interests of our beloved city, we deem it our duty, from time totime, to make such suggestions iu regard to public and private improvements as may conduce to the comfort and convenience of our people We knew of no project at this time that will be . received with more general favor "thant the one we are about to discuss—we allude to the light ■ ing of the Monongahela levee ■ There Is no city iu the Union—certainly none -in the great-Mississippi Valley—that can boast -of-so beautiful a levee as this same Smoky City ■ of-Pittsburgh.. At present it is very pooriy lighted—the only burners being scattered along the Water street pavement. From that pave mentdown to the waters edge there is not a sin gle gas burner. Daring dark and foggy nights the levee presents any thing-but an attractive .appearance,, and the steamboats are compelled to hang-opt torches in order tbatdraymen, ship pers and others may see to do business. The - darkness of the levee also gives an opportunity for. wharf rats and thieves to commit their dep redations, snd.steal -without being detocted. - "What we propose is this—to erect a number of large gas posts in a line along the levee, at high water-mark/from the point to Bakeweil’s Glass 'Works, around which there should be neat and Strong iron enclosures. Therß should be at least „ three-brilliant burners to each post, ooveredover with idear lamps, Such lighters as we propose will mot'only be of incalculable benefit to those who are compelled to do business on the Monon-1 gahela levee after night, but they will also be an honor and an ornament to the city of Pitts burgh, •Of course these burners cannot be ereoted for nothing;-bat i,n our opinion the cost is but a - small matter when compared with the advanta •gewsiaing- from the proposed improvement, -The ievenuo to the city derived from the steam boats which land at our wharves,; is .immense, ahd we think it is but right that a small portion of that revenue'should.he. set apart for the-pur - pose Of tuaking the bnprovement "we suggest. ■ We h'ope that Our City Councils will take some action in the matter as soon as possible. - High PEIOE of Esotiaff Consols. — It Trill'be b«b by, the foreign news that'English Consols, ‘ the representatives of the debt of that' countiy,, hava_gone -up to 99-- It is a long time,since' a price" so hear par has been obtained; and the; fcot !"**>♦/■« thatthe English brokers are not, apprehensive of any immediate outbreaks on. ■ the Continents ® - ...-t ■ -.V-J; J*-’ 1 ~ , .

THJE PROGRESS OF KOSSUTH UGHTiae THE LEVEK It wiU-be seen that there is no change in the prices of stocks ; and the rates of exahange for bank notes has been considerably reduced.— , This, we presume,-is an. indication-th&tmoney is rftore abundant thou it -has been, for some -weehfl ipast;, which*'is. not remarkable, in view of tho greatj change that has taken place in the eastern aud 1 foreign markets- - v;. WeandoiStand-that many of the Banlrs in the interior of this State design makittg-'an effort to procure the repeal of the law imposing a tax of two mills per cent, on their circulation. This effort, we trußt, will prove abortive. The large shipments of specie, that have been the cause of so much alarm to Federal partisans; and which has been so strongly deprecated, even | by men of that party who we had thought enti-1 tied to the appellation of statesmen, are thus ' spdkeu of by the New York Journal of Com- 1 mere < * iDECEMBEK 12. As long as the present rate or supply from California continues, we cannot expect?or wish to see the outgo entirely checked- We do not regard these shipments as a calamity j on the contrary, they tend to keep up a healthy state of business, and restrain undue extravagance in trade. > The St. Louis Intelligencer , adverting to the Free Banking Law, recently sanctioned* in Illi nois, says: We learn that already;arrangements are talked of for the establishment of free banks in. Illinois under the new law. It is confidently said, the Managers of the Great Central Railroad Will es tablish a bank of large capital—the issues of which will be predicated on Illinois State bonds- We have scarcely any doubt but they will do so, if Mr. Robert J. Walker is successful m the ob ject of his mission to London; and that he will be we do not doubt. The Free Banking Law in Alabama, which was passed last session, bus, it appears, never been acted on ; and the Governor of the State deems the law a failure. 1 Ohio will pay off about three millions of dollars of the principal of her debt and interest on the Ist of January, which will nearly all be upon the New York and Philadelphia market for reinvest ment. * The New York papers annonoce the failure of the eminent firm of Hicks & Co., largo foreign commission merchants. They were mvolved in the failure of Thompson & Co. to the amount of $250,000, and Mr. Ricks was elected a trustee to manage the affairs of that manufacturing hnxi. !

We do not think there can bo found a speci men of truer and purer eloquence than the fol lowing, which we select from one of the speeohes of KoSßuth os roported in the English papers. When all who have heard him bear the same tea* timony to his power in this particular, is it at all wonderful that the People of our country, without distinction of party, are becoming unan imous in behalf of the cause of European free dom ; and in favor of oar doing all that we can do to advance the great cause: “ Three years ago, yonder house of Austria, which had chiefly me to thank for not having been swept away by the revolution of Vienna, In Maroh, 1848, having, in return, answered by the most foul, most sacrilegious conspiracy against the chartered rights, freedom, and national exis tence of my native land—it became my sharo, being then member of the ministry, with the un disguised truth to lay before the Parliament of Hungary the immense dnnger of our bleeding fatherland. (Hear, hear.) Having made the sketch, which, however dreadful, oould be but a faint ehadow of the horrible reality, I proceeded to explain the alternatives whioh our terrible destiny left to ns, after tho failure of all our at tempts to avert the eviL Reluctant to present the neck of the realm to the deadly stroke whioh aimed at Its vefy life, and anxious to bear up against the horrors of fate, and manfully to fight the battle of legitimate defence—scarcely had I spoken the word—scarcely had 1 added the words that the defence would require 200,000 men aud 80,000,000 of florins, when the spirit of freedom moved through the hall, and nearly 400 representatives rose as one man, and lifting their right hand towards God, solemnly said, We grant it—freedom or death.” [The solemnity of gesture and voice with whioh Kossuth uttered these words produced a powerful effeot on the assembly.) Thus they speko and there they Bwore, in a calm and silent majesty awaiting what further word might fall from my lips. And for myself—it was my duty to speak, but the grandeur of the moment and the rushing waves of sentiment benumbed my tongue. A burning tear fell from my eyes—a sigh of ador ation to the Almighty Lord fluttered on my lips —and bowing low before the majority of my people, as I now bow before yon, gentlemen, I left the tribunal silently, speechless, mute. (Kossuth here paused for a few moments, over powered by his emotion, with which the com pany deeply simpathathized.) Pardon me my. emotion— the shadow of our martyr* passed before 1 m V eyes—l heard the millions of my native land once more shouting, Liberty or Death /” Cleveland Columbus and Cincinnati Ratt- KOAD— We learn from the Cleveland papers that a cash dividend of four per oent. on the capital Btook has been declared for the last six months. The .business of this road greatly exoeeds the anticipations of its most sanguine friends, and the earnings for the past six months are greater thanvthose estimated for the year.

Ho, together with. others, went on and examined the route for a part of the distance between those two poiuts, and.make a highly favorable report ns far as they have gone. The cold weather setting >m, pre vented the completion of their labors. The act of incorporation under which this road ‘ is pro posed to be constructed, is called the Pittsburgh, Kittening and Warren Railroad, yet the charter does not specify any points at which tho road must touch, Pittsburgh, Kittanning aud the State line, leaving the Company to choose the most direct and practicable route between the two latter points. According to Mr. Sloan's report, the Clarion route is about one hundred miles shorter than the Warren route, and is in every respect far Bupenor to it . It may there fore be considered as certain that the formor route will bo selected. Here is the act of incor poration: A further Supplement to an Act entitled an Aot for the incorporation of the “ Pittsburgh, Kit tanning and Warren Railroad Company,'' ap proved the fourth day of April, one thousand, eight hundred and thirty-seveu.

Awful Mistake. —The wife of Edmund Ray, Esq., of Norwich, on Tuesday last, having occasion for the use of Morphine, soul and pur chased some. By mistake, Sirt/chumr was sent her, from a done of which she died tu about an hour She was an influential nud active member of the Baptist Church, aud had appointed a meeting of the church choir at her hoaso that evening. a meeting of tho managers of the American Bible Society, held tn New i ork on Thursday, it was, on motion of the Rev Ur Tyng, resolved that the committee on anniver saries bo instructed to consider and report upon the expediency of enrolling the name of Louis Kossuth among the Vice Presidents of the So ciety. A California Reverse. —We see it stated in one of our California exchanges that Barton Lee, Esq., once the wealthiest men in Sacra mento, whose property was rained at one mil lion five handred thousand dollars, is now at Sandwich IsfSnd& engaged in his former occu pation, as, a house carpenter. flgSu Under the head of “Old Hostile," the Cleveland Plain Dealer says :—“ We see that a meeting of anti-masonic whigs is advertised to be held in Pittsburgh during the present month.— The old fellows are in a fine state of preserva tion, and bid fair to send their hobby down to the latest whig posterity. Why shouldn’t they be conservative ? Conservatism is the begin ning, middle and end of the party. Bragg’s Artillery.— The St Louis Republi can, noticing a drill of Col. Bragg’s battery of flying artillery, at Jefferson Barraoks, says : We are not familiar euongh with military terms to attempt a description of the various evolutions, but some idea may be formed of the rapidity with whioh they are exeouted, by the time occupied, as noted by several gentlemen. The company came down the parade at full speed, halted, formed in battery, unlimbered, and fired several rounds. The order was given to take the whole to pieces. The cannon were taken off the ; carriages, the wheels off the axles, the swabs and everything pertaining to the guns scatter over the field in apparent confusion. The oan noniers sat down upon the prostrate wheels and trails, and the horsemen were all dismounted.— The whole of this movement, from the oommand to halt to the dismounting of the gun carriages, oooupied two minute? and five seconds. Again the word of command was given, the wheels were replaced on the carriages, the guns mounted, everything in its place, the horses at tached, and reformed in battery, and fired in fifty-two seconds. The maddening speed with whioh they drive, no matter how uneven or dan gerous the ground, the quickness with whioh they halt, the rapidity with whioh the horses wheel to their positions, the celerity and regul arity with whioh every person connected with the guns performs h s special duty, oannot be de scribed. Suoh is the perfection of the guns and car riages, that if anything breaks, or is destroyed by an enemy, it can be at once supplied. They even carry extra wheels, and every part of a gun is the counterpart of any other in the bat tery. In these manoeuvres the horses partake fully in the rider’s excitement. With distended nos trils' and glowing eyes, they furiously rush on, but soon learn the word of command, and seem to understand what is required of them.

The estimate for the Department proper next year is $7,577 60—the smallness of the amount resulting from unexpended balances of former appropriations. For penhions,’the estimates for the next year are $1,053,686 31 less than those for the present year. . ; ' ' ' • For the Census,, the. further sum of; $150,000 is asked to complete the work. The whole number of pensioners of all classes now on the rolls iB 19,611, of whom 13,467 were paid during the first two quarters of the present year, thelatest periods to which we have re ports. The number added to the rolls during the year was 2,287, and the number of deaths reported 765. The whole amount expended for pensions during the; year ending 30th Septem ber, 1861, exclusive of navy pensions, is about $1,439,848. Of bounty lands, the Secretary states that in his last report the whole number of warrants issued to soldiers of our last war with Great Britain was stated to be 28,978. Since that time 1 warrant has been issued for 820 acres; 55 have been issued for 160 acres, and 36 for 40 cores each. There are still 450 olaims suspend ed for further evidence. There have been 90,146 applications filed for bounties under the act of 11th February, 1847, granting lands or scrip to soldiers engaged in the war with Mexico. In all 83,955 claims have been allowed, and warrants or scrip issued to the parties entitled. The warrants and scrips issued since the la9t annual report are as follows, viz: 3,020 warrants fur 160 acres each; 223 warrants for 40 acres each ; 63 certificates for $lOO each; and 2 certificates for $25 each ; and 6,191 cases are suspended for further evidence. .The Bounty Land law of 1850 donates land to probably not less than 250,000 persons, after making proper allowance for those who have died leaving no representative, entitled to claim. Between the 28ti oT September and sth of No vember, 1850, 9,418 applications were filed. On the Ist of November, 1861, the whole number received was about 167,000; and, as they are still coming in rapidly, it will not fall far below 170,000 at the commencement of the session of Congress. » The duty of acknowledging, registering, en. dorsing, filing, investigating, deciding, and issuing warrants for such a vast number of claims, involved great labor and responsibility, and the Pension Office has been greatly straitened for want of a sufficient clerical force. But notwith standing all these difficulties, of the 157,000 claims which had been filed on the Ist of No vember, 1851, 76,000 had been examined and 54.000 carried into warrant; 22;000 have been rejected or suspended for further consideration. The number of warrants now daily ex • ceeds 400, and by the meeting of Congress the aggregate number of warrants issued will be about 70,000. The Secretary avers that the invariable rule of the office has been to act on cases in the order of their presentation, and that no case has been laid aside except for some defect or inform ality. The Secretary invites attention to valuable suggestions by the Commissioner of Pensions, viz: Ist Confinement of the Pension laws to those who rendered the military service, and to the widows and minor children of such as are dead; 2<L The adoption of more efficient pro visions to prevent fraud—citing that, of two hundred and thirty-one recent applications for invalid pensions from two of the Western States, only sixty-one were just ; .3d. To make the war rants for bounty land assignable ; and, 4th, the enactment of a law making it a felony to forge, utter, or publish as genuine any forged land warrant or other evidence of claim against the United States for land, or any endorsement or assignment thereof The Secretary recommends, in view of the great increase of the business of the Pension Office, the appointment of an Assistant Commis sioner of Pensions. He also recommends the graduation of the salaries of the clerka accord ing to the nature and valae of the services ren dered by them respectively. Of tho public lands, tbo quantity sold during the last fical year was 1,846,847 49-100 acres, for which the sum of $2,370,947 46 was receiv ed. The quantity sold during the first quarter of the present fiscal year was 473,140 66-100 acres, producing $601,891. The quantity sold during the corresponding quarter of the last fiscal year was 266,879 66-100 acres, the pro ceeds of which amounted to $349,876 06; thus showing a considerable increase in the sales of the present over those of the lost fiscal year. Tho quantity ofland located during the last fiscal year, with bounty land warranto, was 2,454,000 acres, which, added to the quantity sold for cash, makes an aggregate of 4,300,847 49-100 acres. Had the quantity located with warrants during the last fiscal year becu disposed of for cash, at the minimum price, the aggregate of revenue from sales of the publio lands would have been s6,* 438,447 45. The whole number of warrants is- sued up lo the Ist of November instant, under the Mexioan war bounty land law of 11th of Fob runry, 1847, is 80,781. Of these 66,618 have been located and returned to the General Land Offioe; and of this latter number 00,200 have been patented. The whole number of warrants issued up to the same period, under the general bounty land law of September 28, 1850, is 64,- 201 ; and of the 3,708 which have been located and returned to the General Land Office, 1,950 had been patented on the Ist ultimo. Abstract of the Report of the Poet Slat, tor Qeuerat* Wo condense the following facts from the re port of the Post Master General: At the close of the fiscal year ending on the 30th’ day of Jane last, there were in operation within the United States, 6,170 mail routes: their aggregate length was 198,290 miles ; and 6,644 contractors were employed thereon. The annual transportation on tnese routes was 68,- 272,262 miles; the annual cost thereof $8,421,- 754—being about six cents four mills per mile. The annual transportation in California at the olose of the fiscal year was 687,576 miles ; at an annual cost of $180,270. The annual transpor tation in Oregon at the eloso of tho last fiscal year was (as near as con be ascertained) 80,498 miles, at an annual oust of $19,988, or about sixty-five cents and four mills per mile. There were on the 30th day of June last, six foreign mail routes, of the estimated aggregate length of 18,849 miles. The number of miles of annu al transportation therein is estimated at 616,206. The number of postmasters appointed during the year ending June 80th, 1851, is 6889. Of these 2649 were appointed to fill vacancies, oc casioned by the resignations: 187 to fill vacan cies occasioned by the death of their predeces sors ; 206 on changing the sites of the offices for which they were appointed, 699 on the re moval of the prior inonmbents ; and 1698 on the establishment of new offices. The whole number of post| offices in the United States at the end of that year was 19,796. There were 1608 postoffioeß established, and 256 disoontin ued daring the year. The gross reoeipts of the Department for the year ending June'Bo, 1851, were $6,786,498,22: the-amount of ordinary expenditures, during the year were $6,024,566,69—which, deducted from tho gross revenue of theyear, leaves the balanoe of revenue over the ordinary emen ditnres, $708,299,99. The estimated expenses for the present year, ore $7,128,448,68; these expenditures are to be mot by the balances now standing to the credit of the Deportment, the reoeipts from post ages, and the appropriations made by the aots of the 3d of March, 1847, and the 8d of March, 1861. These will be sufficient to meet the ex -penses of the current fisoal year, but further aid from the Treasury will be required for those of the succeeding year. The Report says There is a disposition manifested in certain quarters to urge a farther reduction in our in land rates of letter postage, before the re sults of the last reduction are properly ascer tained. Those who take the position that the people of this country Bhonld not rest satisfied with any reduction of postage until it, be made as cheap as that of Great Britain, seem to forget that onr rates of postage,are now, M* tact, compara tively mno.h ohebper lHah those of Great Britian; and that the condition of the two countries, in regard to nearly every thing which should influence the rates of postage, is widely differ ent. The United "Kingdom of Great Britain Wl Ire land has an -area of about 120,000 square-miles, find'* pop.nlatign of twenty-eight millions; Vhile the area of the inhabited portions of the United States may be estimated at more than 1,100,01)0 square inUes, with a population of twenty-four millions. ~ - - - \ The* results of the.iheap postage system in Qreat jßritain and-of ■ redneed rates of postage in this country under the qot 0f1845, are con tinually refmzed.to.,as. evidence that this Da- r * / 7 V ** *\ *?‘ ** _ *j t 4» ••*' •; V- •! !? t 5 ij, r "'’ f-‘ .-.V '^v K ; V F. • '• ' 71: l'? 7 y 'i _ \ .’*• • * -i 1 ,*'# 1 I' ■ f V.'l ‘- V ~£>' L.

And the expenditures...... 766,999 7s id. Leaving a net revenue of.. £840,787 Os 11 Jd. Again the gross revenue for the eight years, from 1882 to 1839, both inclusive, was £18,246, 687, 12s, 1 Jd., and , for the eight years next succeeding the reduction, only £18,848,966.63 BM—although the franking privilege was abol ished on the adoption of the penny postage, , and the Government paid postage, at the ordinary rates. The postage paid by the Government- in 1847 amounted to £168,866 Is; Td. The increasing abuses of' the franking privi lege render desirable sonic farther legislation in respect thereto. The franking as public docu ments of matters which are not such; the dis tributing of franked envelopes topersons not en-. titled to the franking privilege; the franking as “ official” letters which are not such ; the use of the frank to cover innumerable circulars for the benefit of others than the' parties who frank them, and the franking of letters of other per-, sons, are presented as some of the existing abuses. All these should, in my Judgment, be prohibited by sevore penalties, andLa; conviction for such an offence sheuld deprive the offender of his franking privilege. It is alsoproper that the attention of Congress should be directed to the fact that the penalty of five hundred dollars, imposed by the existing law, is found to be in sufficient to prevent the counterfeiting of franks either with or without the assent of the person whose frank is counterfeited.
