But I have the conviction that the mis
sion of the Hungarians, if not more exal
ted, is more important than to secure the
triumphant assertion of a threatened prin
ciple, because the struggle in which they
are are engaged must prove fatal to conti
nental freedom, or utterly destructive of
absolutism in Europe.
If the contest be numerically and mate
rially uneven, there is this inequality in the
result to be expected, that 'the undying
cause of civilization and of truth can only
for a time succumb ? while the all of des
potism at this date would bo irretrievable
'and final. I will not pause here to contem
plate the probable career of the reaction,
from the period of its hypothetical ascen
dency to the next of those great conflicts it
will have periodically to renew, or till call
ed on to fight its sanguinary battle over
again beyond the Rhine. Suffice it to say,
that the political life of Hungary, and the
complete though temporal ascendency of
of absolutism, are staked against the actual
existence of the despotic: principle.
The champions of both causes, armed
and menacing, with swords drawn and
scabbards thrown away, confront each
other, undisguised and without illus
ion. Kossuth, while stimulating the gen
erous Hungarians by the hope of giving
freedom to the continental world, distinct
ly warns his people that their only hopes
lie in their own unaided efforts. Russia
and Austria cease any longer to uphold the
maSk., The intended subjugation of Hun
gary is, avowed ; captive officers are in
cold blood put to death ; cities are given
up to fire and sword ; and women, for the
expression of political feeling, arc flogged
openly in the public streets, according to
the avowal of the Imperial organs.
Utter night and ruthless barbarism are
threatened on the one hand. Upon the
other, all attempt at mediation or compro
mise would be , laughed away. It is felt
that either Hungary must be crushed and
her defenders whitening with their bones
the soil by tens of thousands, after irre
trievable defeat, or that her banner must
be puShed further forward than even in
our eventful century the most adventurous

From II o Flora la Reput I.car, August 2
. Another Indian Outrage.
We communicated to our readers at a
distance, in an extra, by the mail on Sun
day last, the following :
By the steamer Ocamulgce, which rea
ched this place on Thursday., the 26th, we
learn that an, express arrived at Pilatka
the same day with intelligence from Tam
pa, that another Indian outrage had occur
red at Charlotte Harbor. The Indians had
burned the trading-house and killed the
clerk, Mr. Payne, and another man nam
ed Whitton. They also wounded several
others. This terrible occurrence. is said
to have taken place on the same day with
the outrage on Indian river. As the latter
occurred on the 13th inst., Wait' was an
unaccountable delay in the express sent to
Pilatka, if the attack on Charlotte's Har
bor also took place on the 13th. The ex
press reached Pilatka on the 20th—mak
ing 13 days since the occurrence. If both
outrages were committed the same day, it
gives good reason for the opinion that they
were preconcerted. An armed party, how
ever, which was despatched to Charlotte
Harbor by the comantit!ingoflicer at
Tampa, as soon as' the outrage waSittieWii;
states that they met Billy Bowlegs on their
return, who disclaimed any participation
in the affair, and said that it was done by
a straggling party. Whether this will a
mount to much in the face of the alarm
ing facts, time will show. We have not
seen the despatches conveying this intelli
gence, as they were deposited in the mail
for Washington. Their purport is brought
by passengers from Pilatka, and though
somewhat indefinite it is in the main true.
One report is, that but one man lost his
life, who was burned in the trading house,
and that the persons wounded were wo
men and children.
The families of the settlers in Orange and
St. Lucie counties have all been'synt a
; way in consequence of the Indian river
attack, and many families in St. John's
county have retired into St. Augustine.,---
; A friend who came from there a few days
; ago, informs us - that he met three carts
containing -- families Lill their way to the
city.
The settlement of Enterprise has been
completely deserted ; although some ten
of the white men, with several negroes,
have fortified themselves on the extremity
of the wharf; commanding the main set
tlement, and from which they say they
can resist an attack from a tarn force, as
the passage to the pier-head in front of
which the byeastwork is built, is very nar
row. In case, however,9f imminent dan
ger, they have their boats gathered and
attached to the wharf, so that they can
take to the lake in a moment. These facts
we learn from V. Dupont, csq., who bro't
his family down yesteiday, but who will
join his party curly again next week.
STILL rermi.--:-We learn from a gen
tleman who arrived in a steamboat on
Monday' night last, that an express rider
reached Pilatka al Sunday, bringing the
intelligence that a party of regular troops,
who were dispatched to the scene of tho
outrage at Charlotte Harbor by Major
Morris, the commandant at Tampa, to
gether. With a numer of citizens, number
ing in all upwards of sixty men; had made
report. 'They found the bones of the'
trial (Messrs. , Payne and Whitton) who
lad been shot; their bodies had after
wards been consumed with the building.
The party buried the remains. While
there they saw three Indians, who had
croSsed.Pease creek on a log, (the bridge
hav in g been previously , burned by Indianti,)
who soon recrossed and retired into the
hiimmock. On retireing 'they raised the
savage war-hoop, which appeared to be
joined in by numerous other Indians.—
They were not persued by the whiteii,
who' iad been ordered to aveidan engage
.
ment—fortunately, perhaps, as it stated!
their arms were in a very bad' condition.
The three Indians seen were painted.
An express reached Jacksonville, from
Governor Moseley, on Saturday evening
last, commanding the lieutenant colonel
of` the 15th! regiment of Florida millitia to
enlist a mounted company of one hun
dred men, to organize on the 7th instant,
and to proceed to the frontier without de
lay. Another company has been ordered
from Leon county,' These orders aro re
sponded to with great spirit, a large num
ber of good men having promptly offered
in this-vicinity. We have no doubt that
enough to form two additional companies
will hold themselves in'readiness for fur
ther orders. If requisitions were general,
ly made, Florida would readily furnish
two thousand volunteers. It will be seen
that tho governor has also taken steps
fully to organize the militia. Elections
are ordered to fill vacancies that have
curred in the staff.
'Phus it would seem that the late out
rages have fairly aroused the State.---
We shall soon, of course, be furnished
with United States Troops. The demand
of Florida will now be the removel of the
nlinns. It will not do to temporize—
it will be vain to treat for anything short
of entire removal. If it be true that the
head chief of the Seminoles has disclaimed
connexion with the outrages, it affords
no assurance to settlers of their safety.—
If lawless bands arc permitted to rove and
prey upon the people when off their guard,
it is worse than a declared state of war.
Treaties have not restrained these sava
ges within their linfrts, and they should
now be driven from the peninsula.

in point of health.
At Paris, ICy., on the 29th and 30th

At, Lebanon, Tenn.,3s or 40 cases were

disease was fast declining.
The Alton, 111., Telegccwh, of the 28th

The Cincinnati Ga: - --ette of last Friday,
gives the following as to the departure of
physicians and nurses from that city, to .
the rescue of the deserted cholera victims
at Sandusky: The party consisted of Drs.
Strader and Caroland, Mr. Bailey, Mr.
Hughes, and two or three nurses. Dr.
Strader telegraphed back a request for more
help, which was responded to by Drs. Ste
phens, Hughes, Banks, and Foote, who all
left immediately for Sandusky on their er
rand of mercy. This noble self-devotion
is not confined to this city. Drs. Ackley,
Delameter and Spencer, with several stu
dents of medicine, influenced by like con
iderations, Avelif ti to Sandusky from
Cleveland. What a lesson is thus taught
to the Sandusky physicians- and others,
who fled, panic stricken, from their homes
and their friends, on the first appearance
of the tlisease.
Drs. Quinn, Lindsay, Ochlctrec, and J.
L. Hillsdale, went up in the cars last eve
ning to Sandusky.
The Commercial says that Dr. Strader
was most successful during the epidemic
in Cincinnati, fighting down the disease,
and adds:
Dr. S. writes, that upon his arrival, he
found the city in a deplorable state—co
sternation in every thee, and death and
sickness on every hand. There had been
little or no provision made for the sick, &
no sanitary regulations had been adopted,
or if so, not enforced—the cowardice of
the resident physicians the cause of all.—
'ln one hour after the arrival of Dr. Stri
der, he took possession of a public building,
converted it into an hospital, produced bed
ding, &c., andin four hours after that time,
he had fifteen patients within its walls.—
There is promptness and energy for you.
At Buffalo, the total number of cases, froml
the commencement of the disease, is 1,
665, of deaths, 516, The Buflido Com
mercial says that the epidemic is evident
ly on the decline there.
As to Sandusky city, a telegraph dis
patch from a Mr. Parks, at 7 o'clock on
Saturday evening, says that the cholera
had lett that place, as suddenly as it ap
peared.
At Toledo, Ohio, the Cholera is not so
bad as represented. Whole number or
cases from June 30th, to July 30th, 05,

The Board of Hearth of Toledo reports
five new cases, and one death, on the first,

lates the followingdisgraceful affair :—The
circumstances attending the death of,lonx
`'Yuma as . near as wo can gather the ,
aro as follows: On Tuesday aflern n
some altercation. took place between' Tit
liam Eisenbise and John Wright,-iiiiicl
at the time resulted in nothing serious.—
Eisenbise (who was considerably intoxica
ted) however followed up Wright, although
the latter is said to have repeatedly told
the former that he was no match lbr him
in fighting, until they reached the Alley
near. Freeburn's smith-shop. Eisenbise
therecaught Wright by the armand struck
at him, but_did not hit him--the blow hav
ing made, as we are informed, an indenta
tion in a board fence which many suppose
could not have been made by the knuakels
of Eisenbise alone, although ono of the
strongest men in the county. Eiscnbise
then threw Wright over his head, jump
ed on him, and struck him, three or four
blows on the head, when he was taken otT.
It was at once perceiVed that Wright was
dangerously injured, and he was immedi
ately conveyed to Major Eisenbise'S hotel,
and inedcal assistance called in. His
wounds were dressed, and although for a
short time he exhibited] fitvorablo symptoms,
he expired on Wednesday morning.
, A post mortem examination' was made
by Drs. Ard, Worrall, T. & T. Howard
Vanvalzah, and others, which proved that
the brain was injured by a fracture of the
skull.

Shortly rifler this brutal assault was
made, a man named John Long, while
looking at the bruised and shattered head

see the num that eoild lay him out in that
way, or something to that effect, _when
William Eisenbise at once declared that
he could Jo it, and the result was another
fight. Long however proved a rough cus

Eisenbise remained about town until with
in a few minutes of the death of Wright,
without any attempt being made to arrest
him, when he crossed the Lewistown and
Tuscarora Bridge and made for the moun
tains. He was seen by several persons
at Bixler's Gap during that day, and is
represented as being almost unable to see
and to be otherwise so much bruised as
to be unfit for travelling. His friends, it
is supposed, have since them provided him
with a retreat in the. hills, or aided his
escape, nothing further having been heard
of his whereabouts up to the.time of our
going to press. A reward of $5O is off

that she is from Germany , has been three

Tenting of the Pamphlet Laws.
The subject of the printing of the laws
annually .passed by our legislature, has
become [otopic of newspaper discussion.
That the present. plan answers the end
designed, viz: that of informing the great
mass of the people of the character of the
laws annually passed by their represent ,
atives, no one pretends. They are scarce
ly ever read, eicept by lawyers—arid
there arc many exceptions aven among
the members of the "legal profession."
Under the present system the laws nev
er make their appearance until late in the
summer, when the public mind is general
ly more occupied with what is to be, than
what has been. After printing, wagon
loads of these laws at Harrisburg, they
are sent at a heavy expense into every I
county, and delivered to the Prothonota
rys, who keep them until they are called
for. But they arc seldom called for, and
after they get to be two or three year's
old, are generally let go to destruction.—
The plan proposed is, to have each act of ,
Assembly, as soon as it becomes — a law,
published in at least one newspaper in
each county in the State, at the expense
of the State, county, or individuals, accor-
ng to the character' of the law—or by
the State alone. Sectional or individual
acts, to be thus published only in those'
sections immediately interested.
This subject richly merits attention.—
The present mode is inefficient beyond all
question. It is a useless expenditure of
money. By the plan proposed the expen
ses would perhaps be quite as great, but
then it would give, yea, it would almost
:force every . op to read the laws by which
ho is governed—ignorance of which will
not excuse their violation.
Among other unattemwehom_tg_s •
he convention of editors, wIliA is to be
held in Ilarrisburg in November next, take
up this subject, and give it their candid at
tention.
The Cause of Freedom.
We again give space to much foreign
news; Which will no doubt be read with a
vidity by all our . readers. The accounts'
from the brave Hungarians—in whom now
almost alone centres the hopes of freedom
oppresp'ed millions of Europe—pre
sent a rather desponding picture. Later ,
news, however, give a more cheering as
pect to affairs in that quarter. A great
meeting was held in London, which was
addretsed by Mr. COBDEN, the celebrated
advocate of liberal principles in England,
culling upori the British goVernment to re
cognize the independence of Hungary.
This has become a subject of discussion
in our own country, and our governMent
is bcmg loudly called upon to recognize

Death by Fire.

Messrs. EDITORS :-A most disstressing

A German officer in icilachich's
corps, writing of the Hungarian-war, says: •
The greater battles were in part very 1",
bloody, for they fought, on both sides with
the greatest courage, and with indeseriba•
ble animoisity. • Thus, at Gyongyos, I
saw two squadrons of Kossuth-bluesars
charge twice a Jam square of our artill
ery; twice the qUict welbsimed fire of the
foot drove then: back, horses, and men fell ;z
in platoonsktut with a ringing shout 'of

fire and broke . the ranks on which their
sabres now raged like lightning. Alas we
could not fly to help our brave comrades,
for attthe moment we were engaged with
an overwhelming force of the enemy's
cavalry. .Though- at the end of the strug

small. It. cannot be. denied that the great

thei cavalry , fight admirably, and show
a courage and skill which belong only to
the good soldier: •
Latterly, the order has not been "For
ward," but backward— a sad Word for
the ear of a brave soldier. When this un
happy war will end cannot' be told.—
The Hungarians will carry it to the last,
and it will - cost seas of blood before Hun;
gary and Transylvania can become con
quered provinces. And then it will take
an army of 50,000 mcri to keep that fire
from bursting forth, which, will long burn !
under its ashes. But what is all this to us

The Seventh Census' • •:;'
Two circulars are now bein g distributed.
throughout the United States, for the pur
pose of eliciting information, to render per
fect as possible the yesult of ' the arrange=
ments for taking the census of 1850. One
of these calls for such information as will
enable the Census Board to arrive at the
most proper enumeration of subjects to be
embraced iii their report; and the other for
suggestions as to the possibility of aban
doning, in the several States, questions
which have no practical bearing on their
respective. resources. The Secretary, un
der the direction of the Board, is now bus
lily engaged in the preliminary arrange
ments for this important labor, and it is
most desirable that replies should be sent
on at as early a date as possible. All

DISTRESSING TRAGEDY.—MrS. Rebec
ca Mitchell, wife of Hamilton Mitchell, of
Ross township, Ohio, drowned herpelf re
cent!), in the Yellow Creek, under the fol
lowing circumstances, as stated in the
Steubenville Herald :
She left home on the 15th ofJune, and
after loitering about the neighborhood for
a few days, took her children, the eldest
about six, the second four, and the third
one year of age, to the banks of Big Yel
low Creek, and in the deepest place in the
stream, consigned herself and the three
children to a watery grave. When the
bodies were discovered, the youngest child
was tied fast to its mother, with, an apron
and a pocket handkerchief. The second
was tied_aboye the knees; to prevent his
rescuing himself by any chance struggle:
The head of the eldest showed some signs
of'violence, whether done in being thrown
into the stream,or previously, is not known.
The causes which led this woman to the.
commission of so horrible an act, arc said
to be inattention, abuse, cruelty, and jeal
ousy, on the part of the husband./
THE MAN WHO HAD NO NEMIES.-A
man who has no enemies, is seldom good
for any thing. He is that kind of materi
al, which is so easily worked, that every
one tries a hand in it. A sterling charac
ter—one who thinks for himself, and
speaks what ho thinks—is always sure to
have enemies. They are as necessary to
him as fresh air. A celebrated person
who
,was sourrounded by enemies, used.
to-say :—"They are sparks, which, if you
do not blow them, go out of themselves."
Let this be your feeling, while endeavor
ing to live down the scandle of those who
are bitter a g ainst you. , If you stop to dis
pute, you do but as they desire; and open
the IntY of more abuse. --Let the poor fel
-1 lows talk. There will be zi reaction, if
you do not perform your duty; and hun
dreds, who are once alienated from you,
will flock to you, and acknowledge their
error.
