Whilst thus confined, some it broke in his meat and fowl houses, Mole every fowl and piece of meat on farm. In doing so they passed throush garden, levelling the fence, and thereby nilting the cattle and hngs to destroy nil vegetables intended for winter use. The ' thing left for the support of lhat family a small quantity of corn meal and some tasted coffee. In lhat condition they lay rge portion of the time without watei, lout fire, and without food. . poor widow in the neighborhood sent n a small piece of meat, and the oldest , not quite so ill as the rest, did, as long is strength would enable him, crawl to fire-plane, stir up the dying embers, half some bread,' fry a piece of meat, and l coffee without milk or sugar, attempt to :ve the hunger of his. dying father and ;rs. Oil oun occasion, weak and feeble le was. he "stasered'1 thronch the snow i neighbor's house to procure fire. 'At lime the father and children would be ng for water, and not a drop in the house no one to bring it. Thus they lay for iral days, until God, in his mercy took of lliR children. Two days did they lay ises by tho side of their sick parent, and jn to prepare them for sepulchre and vy them lo tho tomb.

COM.UISSIOXr.IlS AND THE I'lMSVLVAMA HAIL IIOAD. Tho Pliila. Ledger says, we have re ved from llurrisburg a copy of iho recent positions mude by the IViu.s Ivania Hail ul Company, relative lo the conveyance freight over their road, bttween Iltnli v sburg and Johnstown, and Iho reply of Canal Commissioners thereto. The pro pitious of tho Company were : 1st. The Pennsylvania Rail Road Compa to haul over ihe Allegheny mnintians. lueen llollida) sbnrg and Johsiovn, after i canal naviualinn opens in 1854, all ichl in cars of transporters doing business lite State canals, for one dollar and twen live cents per ton, (exclusive of Iho Slate : on tonnage,) for the whole distance be en these places 2d, The Slate to haul nil freights passing -r the Columbia Rail Road, in cars of tho unsylvania Rail Road company, and not reeding two cents per ton per mile, inelti iij road, motive power, and passengers, a", i rates charged by said Pennsylvania Rail ad company, for similar travel over their id, with a deduction of 20 per cent for Ihe s of cars and transportation expenses for t' class passengers-; and 33 J percent for ligrant and other travel. The Canal Commissioner' reply is unfa ruble to the propositions. They say Iho st proposition would increase Ihe cost lo 9 Slate, for services performed, ten cents are than' is now charged at column rates Ihe present road with its ten inclined tnes The Rail Road Company would re ive $1 38-10, for carrying 48 miles, out 84 39 per Ion, Iho average charge on otW from Philadelphia lo Piltsbirg, while e Stale would receive but S3 06 6-10 for '6 miles of canal, and 82 of rail road. no difference is still greater when the prac al effect is applied to heavy tonnage, on bioh a low maximum rate is charged. In "in! lo Ihe second proposition, the Com issioners say the price offered is 3 4-10 ill per mile less than the Slate now re ives The loss lo the State, by accepting ould be $72;800 on tonnage, and $35,650 i empty cars. The Commissioners, in turn for : That if the Pennsylvania Rail Road Com my will abandon the construction of a ad over the mountain, and make suitable mnectioris with ihe Stale works, the Board f Canal Commissioners will bind the State j far as they have the power lo do so, lo nil iheir tonnage over Ihe mountain, at the lie of SI 20 per ton, being a less rate than nat at which Ihey propose lo carry for he State.

Washington, April 18. Kossuth visited Mt. Vernon to day. No man, of whatever country, who honors true greatness, can visit the home of Washington without reverent emotion, withont earnest re flection upon the calm majesty, dignified justness and moral force of that character which swayed the destinies of America in the stormy lime of our Revoltitiqp. What of Kn.gu!h at that home 1 at the Tomb of Washinatonl Kossuth who might haTe been Ihe Washington of Hungary but fnf treach ery. Kossuth who pleads for his 'downtrod den fatherland ;" who aks from us what Washington had from France, and to whom the oppiessed of all Europe look in the de vout hope that the success of Washington may yet be his, and llioir form of govern, meulhat of which Washington was tho first chief. With his own oriental richness of style and poetry of iinasery, the exiled Mag yar could not himself reveal Ihe emotions, regrets, resolves and hopes of this important day in his eventful history. The party consisted of Kossuth and his wile, F. Pulszky, F. Hajtiik, and Captain Grei'rhenck, of Kossuth's suite ; Senator St wiird and wife; Elwood Fisher of TheSonth- cm Press; Uev. Mr. Bellows, of New Vork, and wife; Grace Greenwood, and Miss Ann Phillips, of Lynn, Mass. The boat left the Washington wharf at ten o'clock. Kossuth and party embarked at Alexandria, whither j they had tone in rnrrinsrs. The weather j was fair, ihe sky unclouded, the crowd on the ! boat not large, and the passengers congratu- lated themsplves upon ihe circumstances fu vnrinir iheir "pilgrimaged' The boat stopped for twenty minutes at Fort Wnshinstoti. Kojsnlh and party visited Ihe Fort, and by theCommander were afford ed every opportunity for observation. Kos. Ftilh went in'.o the soldiers' quarters, and ex amined minutely the accoutrements and the accommodations of the soldiers. Arrived at Mt. Vernon, accompanied by Senator Seward, Mr. Pulszky, ?lr. Tlajnik, Grace Gieenwood. and others of the ladies, Kosiith and his wife proceeded to the tomb. ' Kossuth stood for a few moments apparently apparently unmoved, lo those who were not near him, but lhne who were nrar him fe't that he struggled to supress emotion. In a few mo ments he grasped tho iron railing, rested his face upon his hands, and wept his whole frame throbbed with emotion. Il was emo tion which should have been unobserved, but which was loo intense fur even Kossuth's will to control. It was not a moment, as I consider honest human nature, for thought. The hear; has the mastery in such moments the affection control thought comes af terward. Kossuth had aimed as Washington aimed he renewed Washington's example bo fell his country lies bleeding an ex ile he stood bleeding ah exile he stood at Washington's tomb was it any wonder his frame thiobbed w ith emotion lhat he wept, ami that his countrymen wept with him, as Pulszky and Hajuik 1 Ho turned away and walked alone from the tomb it was an hour for solitude what were his thoughts I would not speculate ; but afterward, in Washington's Library, to some friends he saiil : ' How much of greatness depends on suc cess! Had we tho aid Washington hail no, not so much, I would not ask it I could not expect il one quarter." Giaee Greenwood said, "Washington's God is your God." Ksssuth replied, "Yes, we can rely only on our God, the justness of our cause, iron wills, honest hearts, and good swords." This explains what Kossuth may have thought when he walked alone, after he had wept at the tomb of Washington. When Kossuth returned from his sad, soli tary walk, he looked more melancholy than I have ever seen him. Tho lines on his face seemed deepened, ns if many years of thought had been added to his life. He was immediately met by Senator Soward, and was introduced to Mr. Washington, son of the proprietor of Mount Vernon, who is a grand nephew of the first President. Mr. Washington conducted lire party to the man sion. Kossuth had plucked a spear of grass at Washington's tomb, which he presented lo his wife. He expressed himself grieved thai Mount Vernon was not Ihe property of the Nation. Senator Seward said a public opinion was being foimed which must de mand a movement that would secura it as such; and Mr. Washington remarked that if the Nation ever expressed a desire, through its Representatives, to possess the spot, Ihe family would surrender it. Kossuth said he feared there was not deep piety for tho dead in America not as deep, at least, as in some other countries, lie thought the memory of iho illustrious dead should be cherished by nations, and the legacy of their great deeds and good example should be commemorated in proper respect and attention to the places where their remains leposed. When Kossuth was conducted to the vari ous rooms in the mansion he examined Ihe furniture, pictures and relics with manifest inti-ie-t. To the key of the Rastile, present ed lo Washington by La Fayette, he direct ed tie' ntti ntion of his wife, and spoke of it in a manner which indicated lhat it was to him a relic that should not be forgotten, Vour renders know Kossuth was himself a prisoner fur liberty's sake in his own coun try. The only room in which Kossulh was sop. arated from the visitors generally was Ihe li brary. Here none but his friends was admit ted. He examined the books, and made many inquiries about Washington' habits. I have in another place mentioned the pi in ciple conversation in this room. One iuci dent should not be foigotlen, Grace Green wood had picked a twig; of cedar from Washington's tomb. In the library she pre sented it to Kossuth; he accepted it with thanks, which were spoken faintly, but which were lo be seen clearly in his eyes. When the party left the library they walked through the yard, looked for a few moments at the garden and returned to the boat. It hid been an interesting reminiscence to have visited, with Kossulh, the death bed chamber of Washington, but ho was not in vited lo enter it. SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL. On the return of the boat to the Capitol it tnnched at Alexandria. A small crowd had assembled on Ihe wharf. When the steamer left the wharf, three cheers were given by the crowd for Kossuth. He bowed to the people at each cheer. At 31 the boat reached the Washington wharf. Kossuth went with Senator Seward to his mansion, where he spent a part of the evening. Thus ended Ihe visit lo Mount Vernon. I hnve tried plainly to tell your renders what happened during this visit, tt is a theme upon .which one ''in the vein" might write eloquently but I am tint that one. I have only to add that I hnve witnessed two affecting scenes connected with Kos suth's tour llirouuh the United Stales, which are lo me rich remembrances so rich lhat memory will always cherish them his part ing with Ujhnzy nn the Mississippi River, and his deep emotion as he stood with un covered head before the tomb of Washington grnsped ihe iron railing, and bowed him self to hide his liiirninj leais nor will I ever forget the sad yet resolute expression of his brow when in Washington's Library he said : "Wo can only rely on our God, Ihe just ness of our cause, iron wills, honest hearts, and good swords." May that reliance be rewarded when the crisis for Hungary comes, and may that cri sis come soon ! W. T. C. hl,,llE years ago a Philadelphia merchant ";llt a cargo of goods to Constantinople. Af- Il'r "' supercargo saw the bales arid boxes safely landed, he inquired w here they could be stored 'Leave them here, it wont rain was the reply. ''But 1 dare not lo-nighi," leave them thus exposed; some of the goods may be stolen, said the supercargo. The Mahomedan merchant burst into a loud laugh as he replied, "Don't be alurmrd there ain't a Christian within fifty miles of heie.". Hoofland's German Bitters. These celebrated Bitters prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, 120 Arch street, Philadelphia, are perlorming astonishing- cures throughout the whole country. We can bear witness lo their curativo pnwvrs in the case of a friend of ours who hail the Liver Complain, and who had tried almost every other medicine, bul without effect. After taking a few bot tles of Ihese Bitters he was entirely cured. To those who nro similarly afflicted we re commend them to lake the preparation, knowing that they will cure the disease spoken of, and many others to which "fiesh is heir to."
