J. BOSE, AUSTRIA ANp THE REVOLUTION In March, 1848, Kosscnrwas at Vienns and Metternich at London; in October 1851, Mottcr nicli re-enters Vienna with pomp, and Kossuth is received in London like a conqueror. The fugitive Chancellor of State who, for 40 years . I°ng, had-been the soul of the Austrian' Gov ernment, was only tolerated in the foreign land ~. of his .exile, .but those whom Austria outlaws - are(he well-beloved of the human race. The great Process (or suit-at*law,) between Iluman , • -■ ity and the House of Hapsburg. 'whieh lifts' run through so many forms and stages of proceed ing, is become npe, and the final decision is at , - - hand. Should a Kossuth once more enter Vi enna, it could not, most assnredly, be under premeditated conditions, and with the same tendencies ns he boro-abont him 8J years ago; -- r ... .->■ for since that time, he has. learned that .“ Uni versal Democracy” alone, can guaranteed® sepa rate nationalities their independence, and that all particular diplomacy, confined to this 'people , ,-or thatpeople-individually, combat dig its own grave. hlettemich’S:entrance into Vienna fur . -rnißhesus an analogous lesson: this is no! pass ing circumstance in the life of an old man, —it -. : : ; is a political event. ■' He might; long ere this— have quietly returned to his beautiful villa on the “Rennweg” but the great statesman of Absolutism was willing only to be borne in as a victor. His return should have this meaning, viz: that his system—(for Metternich is the founder and advocate-of a system)—was once - again admitted to be the only truo one. A pqb- Ho oration.for Bn apology. Metternich luib not - : gone back to Austria—no, it is Austria who has ■ gone baok to Metternich. The Bound Table of the “stripling” Emperor admit that only by Mettemich’B system is Austria to be ruled . • And, in fact, this is trne! All experiments lead •. - - hack to. him, and the publio retraction of the _ “octroyed ” constitution of May 4th, 1849, was r exactly the “ pater peccavi” which the aged States Chancellor required. The Congress of : 7 Vienna contained two great statesman, Talley rand and Metternich. One invented theprin ciploof legitimacy, the other the Decentralization Idea and the German League. Austria’s perma - ; nence demands the German League as it was and now is, and the Leagno pre-supposes Austria as she was once and now is. The dJu ■ , ropean Middle Realm can exist only ns a great Federative Republic, or it must remain as it is. The German subject cannot be redeemed by the chicanery of a subordinate Polico Mandarin, but only by a Republic. This was just about the amount of Motternich’s wisdom; he hit upan the only tenable form of Austro- German Absolutism; not Prussia’s contempt ible trifling and half-way indecision, full of hypocritical -Überdlisiny tendencies; —no, but open Diabolism which is less dangerous to the! : development of humanity, and is less nauseating i to.our palates than Prussian hypocrisy 1 Indeed, the malapert aristocrats laid their heads togeth-1 er_and whispered away—secretly, of course—i ■ for .the reactionary rabble were, at that time, i ■■■■<-■■■■ under the “state of seige” imposed by a free : press. “D’ye see, Metternich has after all ■ . . been able to maintain it only 35 years; his great preceptor and court councillor, Gontz, predicted os muoh, too, when saying that this whole system was only calculated for about one man’s lifetime. But, at least, it will bear me and Metternich through.” As if Despotism did not always say, like tho aged Pompadour, “Apres moi la deluge !” (after me the deluge / Trass.) Now, the system which was to supplant Metternich, has already in so short a space of time as two yeare, completely worn itself out,; ' . and Schwarzenberg discreetly tnms again-to tho system of the great.master.

Even at that time the Vi - - ennese were dull enough to form a volunteer legion tobattle against Italy. Hungary did not recall her Hussars from Lombardy. "“The in . tegrityof the Empire must be preserved,” was 9 the cry; Czechs, Magyars and Germans vied .?. with one another in devotion to the Dynasty, each race with the secret hope, that it might for the fntnre rank.as the head of the Imperial- con glomeration.

It is not true that the last Austrian Loan has been ‘successful; the false appearance of-prosperity rests upon certain adroit manoeuvres with the Bank, at Vienna; one pocket borrows from the other—but both do ,not become wealthy thereby. The Bank has done a good business with the State- The Roy al Family have saved plenty of money— abroad But tho State and Credit?! • “ Well then,” some may say, “a third State Bankruptcy. NothingTnore 1 Austria mid the world are pretty well accustomed to that sort of thing.” But let people not forget that State Bankruptcy, hot in time of war, is altogether deplorable, because it comes on gradually, after a slow exhaustion of every national resource, after the depreciation of every kind of property with out a mutual patriotic release of debt, and with out a moral exaltation sufficient to meet the material disadvantages. This orash will begin by bo great a separation of the real and nominal value of Viennese hank bills, that the troops will resist that old method of paying them, and ■with the first military riot, Austria falls to pieees. Then not even the Hussion alliance will bo able to save her, and the Prussian coalition—as if Prussia had not betrayed every ally ! Russia can intervene only when it sees the I Revolution weak; in the first half of the year 1848, Nicholas thought solely of building a Chinese watt around his dominions : in the second half he had already perceived that he should be able to play arbiter by holding Prussia in cheok with Austria; and vice versa, just as Austria now attempts tohold one of her provinoes in check by means of the other—so long ns the Revolu tion stands on a weak footing 1 + Even in the- alliance of the Princes there is venom .enough for,mutual irritation. What has Austria for her victories In Germany, and the restoration of—the German League ? The wretched fact that offiejal, National Germany has again become so impotent, so weak, so pitifol and despicable, that it may serve as the apple of discord indeed, but can no longer be deemed the prize of victory; that allianoe with it presents no guarantees; and that all foreign powers can again give counsel in its internal affairs, until Austria herself is obliged to aban don her plan of Incorporation. Then, its com mercial system will hot gain a foot breadth on this side of the Vorarlberg, for who would enter upon the dismal inheritance of Austrian Finance without an Inventory ? and the onlv thing which Austria can attain through it, wifi be the dis rnemhermentand final annihilation of the Prusso German “ Zoilveroin.” The cabinets can destroy, bat only the people can build up I. “Vis consilu expers, mole ruit sun.

The world for many years has reoognized the existence of “grass widows,” and widows, dr itfacto, “fait and forty ; but the California widow lis a creation of modern time. The tide of emi gration which, during the past few years, has swept towards the modern El Dorado, has given Hse to this new order of widowhood. Adven turous husbands have severed the bonds of mat , nmonial. and many a loving wife has been left t without a lord, and mistress of herself—“ that i heritage of wo.” Tears and sighs, hopes and t fears, chequer the existence of the California I widow daring the first few months of separation; but often—too often—the absent one forgets hiß better half, and plays the part erf a truant. A i series of revolutions in the bosom of the forsa ken wife is the conseqnenco, and indignation , succeeds sorrow, indifference supersedes indig [ nation, and another love takes the place of In j difference. <Tho last condition to which this se quence leads is evidenced in the records of onr courts. Suits nlmost innumerable have been in stituted in which each fair petitioner alleges abandoment—pleads the hardships of a'Califor [ nia widow, and prays that the marriage ties, which hove no existence in fact, shall be abolish !ed in law. Then follows the equitable decision of the judge, and after that year of undefined existence which must be devoted to the proprie ties of the law, between divorce and wedlock, the certificate of a justice of the peace, general ly, closes the eventful history of a California widow. In one case, however, which has come to our knowledge, there . has been a eequel to a history of this kind. The footsore these : In the early part of the spring of 1849 a gentleman of this city, remarkable for that ro tundity of form and smiling expression of face which are generally the indications of good-na ture, free and easy manners, and a sober cast of thought, was suddenly seized with the Cali fomia fever. His family consisted of a wife, and a baby taken from the orphan asylum. The anxiety which he exhibited to lodge and provis ion them during his intended absenoe was the only care he was ever known to have experienc ed. But the ivifo was a loving and a dutifu 1 one, and she deolored' her willingness to endure almost any privation to promote his we) fare. He? departed for the- land of gold, sad she, anersome hard struggles with poverty, obtain ed a stock of fancy goods through the aid of friends and opened a small store iu the lower part of the city. No correspondence passed be tween theneglectful.husband and his lonely wife and neither heard of the other from the time of his departure up to about the first oflast month. On a.Sunday morning, about that period a large ritnnqer ,of Californians arrived - here in the steamer 'from Havana. M , the truant husband, was among them. On landing he start ed immediately in pursuit of his wife, and in walking up Royal street unexpectedly saw her approach him, leaning, fondly on the nrm of a portly gentleman; who seemed the exact coun terpart of himself and who was an old acquain tanoe of his. M —doged round a oorner until they passed, and then foUowed them, laughing to himself in anticipation of the agree . able surprise which he would soon give his wife and old crony, who, he supposed was gallanting her through friendship for himself. They final ly entered a neatuttle house in Casacalvo street and M-— was about to follow when the door was closed. A colored girl answered his knook however, and he enquired for Mr. M- . He was fold tliat no such person resided there bnt ha entered, notwithstanding, and stood in the presence of the persons he sought He rushed forward to embrace his supposed wife and friend «£!» was cordially received by both; but beoom mg rather ardent in' his attentions to the iady her companion said: “My dear M, you appeal to be laboring undera mistake. This lady ismy wife. A divorce put you out of possession more than a year ago.” Some little embarrassment followed, but nothing tomar the harmony whioh always existed between the parties, and M m n few dayß after returned to California.

It becomes our painful duty to announce the death of the Hon. Kilgore, President of the Steubenville and Indiana Railroad, which occurred in the city of New York on Friday evening. Mr. Kilgore was on n visit to New York on business connected with the above Railroad, was suddenly taken sick, which terminated in death. We have known Mr. Krn gore long and intimately, and we can with truth say that a more noble minded man never lived* He was formerly a member of Congress from Ohio, but his occupation was that of a merchant* at Cadiz, in Harrison county. Within the last years fie has resided in Steubenville, having been invited to that place to take charge of Die affairs of the Railroad of which he has been President. In the death of Mr. Kilgore the community in which he resided will lose one of its most valued citizens. THE PRESIDENT AND KOSSUTH The Gazette, of Friday last, takes great excep tion to our article animadverting on the course of the administration in relation to Kossuth : questions our devotion to the cause of Freedom in Europe; pronounces our article to he “Jesuitical and cunning, and a tissue of mis representations ; ” and says, ** we profess to be as friendly to the illustrious Magyar as the Post can be.” Wo shall remark upon these points consecutively; and in doing so will be obliged to “hold the mirror up,” in which is reflected the course of the Gazette,—observing at the same time, that we are reallyj;lad to find tho Gazette even professing to be devoted to “ the cause of European Liberty, and of its present represen tative, Louis Kossuth.” Our devotion to the cause of freedom in Europe might be justly questioned, if wo had ever written a line, or inserted a single sentence, in the columns of the Post, either in any manner doubting tho purity of motive of the great leader of Hungary himself, or the right of Hungary to bo free, or her power to maintain her freedom if left to combat single-handed, even with the tyrant of Austria. If we had ever published the productions of others, holding the great and good Kossuth to the gaze of the civilized world as “ a vaio and arrogant creature and his fol lowers as a filthy and degraded set; —if we had ever even so much as thought that Kossuth was aught else than a pure patriot, a wise and judi cious counsellor, a noble and magnanimous minded being; or if we had even thought that the People whom he so much loves, were inca pable of governing themselves, or that the intel ligent Peoples of Germany, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, France, or indeed that even those of Prussia and Austria itself were not capable of governing themselves, if Republican Govern ments were guaranteed to them ;—if we had thought, believed, uttered, or printed any thing involving any one of these sentiments, then we might indeed be questioned in relation to our devotion to the oaase of Freedom in Europe: but we utterly disclaim ever having held any such sentiment; and ask the Editor of the Gazette if he dare to say as much. If he cannot, then he should not profess as much friendship for the great cause as we have manifested. If it be “ jesuitical and cunning” to proclaim, openly aad boldly, our belief that the present administration of tho General Government is influenced by considerations favorable to Russia, Austria, and Spain, rather than “ the cause of European liberty, and its representative, Louis Kossuth ; ” and to assert our belief that a large portion of tho party which sustains tho adminis tration were actuated by similar feelings and views; then is our article of tho character named by the Gazette. If it be “a tissue of misrepre sentations 0 to assert—what we declared in the outset, even before there was any direct proof of the fact, —that certain government officials were - the instigators of the crusade against Kossuth, long before he came to our country and that the administration and its principal friends sympathized with and supported these, rather than the generous and noble-minded Magyar; then, indeed are we guilty of misrep- resenting the administration and its friends. However, we may bo permitted to advert to a few circumstances, calculated to show that we had tome good ground, at least, for our statements" The Gazette is well aware that the President takes some credit to himself for having antici pated any action of Congress in relation to Kos- suth and his associates in exile; and must be equally well aware that, in his late messago to Congress, the President also recommends “ to Congress to consider in what manner Gov. Kos- suth and his companions, brought hither by its authority, shall be receive and treated.” Now after having been so anxious to show that he was in advance of Congress, in the first instance, it wonld surely not have reflected any. discredit on our Chief Magistrate himself to have recom- mended some plan of reception and mode of treatment for .our distinguished guests. A rec ommendation coming from Jhim would have re- ceived attention apd favor precisely as itaccord- ed with the views and wishes of the People; and if Mr Fillmore does not find that his own “generous sparks are quenched in the foul em- brace of intense party feeling,” he will even yet pursue such a course as will put to shame the laggards who, under the name of prudence imd a proper regard for the policy of our oonnfay, .will yet do moroharm;to thecauße of Freedom! inEuropo, than all tho avowedenemids;ofße- l5 A. McCAMMON, Ch’mn, The Rt&road Convention at Steubenville, on Thursday last, was a perfect fizzle. A large number of delegates were iu attendance, repre senting Welhmlle, Steubenville, Lagrange, Wellsburgh, Warrenton, Martinsville, Bridge port, Wheeling, Marietta* &c. We learu from the Steubenville Messenger that the Convention very foolishly resolved to consider no other sub ject than that of a railroad from Wellsville through Steubenville to Wlielling,—thus defeat ing other objects in which Wellsburg, Steuben ville and other places are interested. Thereup on the delegates from the lost named places withdrew from the meeting. The entire busi ness of the Convention appears to have Jg|en ar ranged and controlled by the Wheeling folks. We presume they will discover ere long that that they have only been cutting sticks to beat thoir own heads. This Fair comes off on Monday the 16th insk, at Lafayette Hall. This is a festival the mere announcement of whioh should commend it to every philanthropio heart. It is to succor the orphan and the destitute, to bring oomfort to the deserted, to feed those who are hungry and clothe those who are naked. An Inclement sea son is approaching. The season when the poor mast sailer for many of the necessaries of life, has arrived, and the present occasion offers a fine opportunity to those who have an abundanoe of tho gifts of the “Giver of all good,” to con tribute to the co mfort of the unfortunate. We hope that all who have a charitable feeling will attend the Fair of the Sitters of-Mercy, and aid the holy cause in which they are engaged. ®@“We learn from the Monongahela City Republican, that tho extensive Bteam flouring mill of Mr. Solomon Cooper, on Maple creek, five miles from that plaae, caught firo on the morning of the 11th Instant, and was burnt to the ground, with all its contents, consisting of a large quan tity of flour and grain. This catastrophe falls heavily upon Mr. Cooper, who is a very worthy and industrious man. The loss in produce is ascertained to be 6000 bushelß of wheat, belong ing to farmers in the neighborhood, besides other grain, and a quantity of flour. Some of the farmers had their entire crop this year in the mill, and will be dependent on other sources for their flour. D utton Shannon, Esq., lost the product of two years’ erops. The mill had been lately repaired, and was one of the best in the county. There was no insurance. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Anotueu Bailkoad.—The Oniontown Demo crat is advocating the construction of a Bailroad from that place to Xatrobe, which is 7 miles East of Greensburgh, on the Pennsylvania Bail road. The Editor sayß: “We understand from good authority that the Central Bail road com pany has proposed that if the counties of Fay ette and Westmorland will raise two hundred thousand dollars, the company will appropriate the residue of the amount necessary to make a Bail road, from this place, by way of Connells ville and Mt. Pleasantto Xatrobe,' and guarantee the payment of six per cent interest on the stun raised.” ' ... Pnathof Gen. Belknap.—The Fort Smith (Ark.)

If the sympathies of the President and his more intimatu-advlsers with Russia, Austria, Spain, and-tho other despotic, usurpers, of power in Europe, let., them take their Btand firmly -ivUh sind by the peoplevof their own country, and this matter will soon-nssume a very differ ent-appenraheo. CWe holdtp the truth of the sen-: timent embraced in the message of President Fillmore, that—“ The deep interest which wo feel in the spread of liberal principles and the establishment of free governments, and the sympathy with which woVitness every struggle against oppression, forbid that we should be in different to -a cause in which the strong arm arm of & foreign power is invoked to stifle public sentiment and. repress the spirit of freedom in any country;” and we most ar* dently hope that the President may yet shape his course perfontly in accordance with this sen timent: for, if he shall do this, the slumbering spirit of Freedom in Europe will at once rise and overthrow the tottenng pillars of Despot ism. T We had intended to animadvert upon the pro fession of our neighbor, in relation to friendship for Kossuth and the groat Republican cause in Europo; but, upon more mature reflection, we think it not right to do so. Our reasons for adopting this course are, we trust, of a truly Christian character—we would not return evil for evil and still less evil for good. Our neighbor sinned very much against a sacred principle of charity, relative to Kossuth, by publishing Al most every infamous He that was uttered.respect ing him, previous to the arrival of the Missis sippi; but he now takes high ground, both in favor of Kossuth and the Republican cause; and therefore, so far os this matter is concerned, we are truly pleased to hail him—though an ardent supporter of the present administration—as an able and zealous co-worker with us, in favor of the oppressed millions of Europe, however wide ly we may differ in relation to matters relating to onr own domestic affairs. This is the line that we think it best to adopt, and we hope our neighbor will not compel us to resort 'o any oth er course. We are by nature inolined to be peaceable ; but, if we must fight in self-defence, our motto is “war, to the knife; and the knife to the hilt!” GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA. The latest intelligence from Virginia would seem to indicate beyond a doubt that Johkrc>R>- the Democratic candidate for Governor, is eleotrii : by a handsome majority over Summer, Whig.— Both branches of the Legislature are decidedly Democratic. Temperaneeville and Nobleatowa Plank We are gratified to learn that the work on this road is now progressing with great rapidity. About| seven miles towards Noblestown are al ready planked, and within the last few days the branch to the Washington turnpike has been entirely completed. This branch is one and half miles in length, which makes the distance from Temperaneeville to the Washington turnpike six and one-half miles. Great credit is due to Col. James A. Gibson, the Engineer, and M. B. Brown, Esq., the Pres ident of this road, for the untiring zeal they have displayed in behalf of this great enter prise. They have labored day and night to bring the work to a speedy close. We shall take a ride over this road tho first leisure mo ment we have, when we shall give it a more ex tended notice. Cleric of the Supreme Court* A despatch, received on Saturday, informs us that our esteemed friend John Cotle, Esq., has been appointed Clerk of thd Supreme Court for the Western District. A better appointment could not have been made. We have known Mr. Co VLB from our boyhood days, and we have always found him to be one of those of whom wo would esteem it a pleasure to cal! our friend. That he will discharge the trust confided to him with perfect satisfaction to the Court, and the public, wo have not a doubt. Steubenville Railroad Convention. The Fair for the Mere?

Sim moos suggests the necessity of an American Consul at Rio Hache.' The Morris (HI.) Yeoman states that not long since, while some men were digging in the coni bank, near the canal, they exhumed the body of a man, in a perfect state of petrifaction. From the.conluroy Cioth in whioh the legs were en cased, the cords and seams of whioh are perfect ly defined, it is supposed to bs the body of one of the Trish laborers engaged in the cons traction of the oanal. The limbs are nearly perfect, and are completely transformed into stone. Leicester Peters, confined in Bradford county jail for the murder of Edwin S. Pomrojr, killed himself last week by severing the femoral artery in the left thigh. He was found dead, with his bed. Batarated with blood. The New York Express states that the project ed line of steamers between that port and Ireland is being carried out by the original projectors. Their proposition for mail transit is now before Congress. : The Chancellor of. Delaware has enstained the injunction prohibiting the drawing of certain lotteries in that Stato. The case, however, is to be token ap to the Court of Appeals. The ship Horatio, of New York, has been aeiied at Maracaibo, because the Captain, who had a quarrel with the Pilot, undertook to pilot her out of the harbor. The Captain and mer chants interested had protested against the Seizure. Mr. Hossey and Mr. J. MoMullin and Son, of Baltimore, were among the passengers on the Pacifio, whioh arrived at New York onSunday evening. Mr. Rives, son of onr. Minister to Franoe, was also among the passengers. ; This will explain the mystery about the name of Rives. , An Appropriate Pretcnl.—The Emperor of Austria has forwarded, to Louis Napoleon a poo dle of extraordinary docility. It will, at a word, .sit np and beg—lick the boots of the Austrian ambassador, picking out his boots from any oth er boots of th o corps diplomatique —bark and wag his tail for the double Cagle, and give three dis tinct howls, one for liberie —one for egahte —one for fratemite. The dog carries a gold collar, en graved on it— “ Sam.” : Sealth of Europe. —The Emperor of Austria, it is said, is so extremely weak, that it is impos sible for him, just at present, to get up alone (a loan.) • Symptom of a Severe Winter. —The Emperor of Austria has been compelled to return to Vien na, having found his Italian cities below freez ing point. Two or three distinguished generals came back with froat bitten noses, so aold was the breath of young Italy. . . u Done Crying.—The old Irish cry of " Ireland for the Irish” willsoonbe lulled, and heard no 1 more; for if the emigration keeps up its pres- I ent enormous rate, there; will soon be nbt a single irishman left In Ireland, and the cry most be changed to “ Ireland for the English, or any one who chooses to live in it.” I A Coon Joke.—The -.Washington Examiner is actually re-publishing Brackenridge’s reply to Craig I Now, don’t ail laugh at once ! '■ We bad earnestly hoped'that the incendiaries’ torch would not again be lighted in oar Borough; In common with oardtizens, we began to breathe free, and inclined in the belief that the work of destruction was ended. IJut we were mistaken About 7 o’clock on last Tuesday night, a fire broke oat in the large frame stable belonging to tho Falton House, and in a few momenta it was enveloped in flames. There were a number of horses in the stable when the fire commenced. All were got out without injury except two, one belonging to Mnj. McFarland,, severely burned, the other owned by a young man from Allegheny Co., was burned'to death. Had it not been for the calm which prevailed, a num ber of valuable dwelling houses would have been destroyed—as it was, flakes of fire-scattered and fell several hundred yards from the conflagra tion.
