Austria and Hungary.
There has again been some severe fight
ing in Hungary, and again the Magyars
have been victorious. Kossuth appointed
Dprrbinski commander-in-chief. "Our
Vienna letters vand DaDers.'.' savs the
Times, "are of the 20th inst. They con
tain no new details of the battle of Wait
zen, excepting the official news which our
correspondent gives that the Hungarians
have succeeded in breaking through the
Imperialist lines and marched to the
north."
The correspondent above alluded - to
writes from Presburg on the 19th instant;
"For some time the plans of the Hun
garian chiefs have been shrouded in mys
tery, and we are only now beginning to
gain an insight into them. It was in vain
'that Georgey kept so long at Comorn.
He there awaited Dembinski, and after
this junction, the combined armies co-operated
at the battle of Waitzen. Dem
binski took up his position with 40,000
men at that place, Georgey maintained his
ground at Comorn.
Dembinski assumed the offensive, and
after a well contested action, forced Pas
kewitch to retreat to Demabeez, near Go
dollo. Georgey was not equally success
ful; although he maintained his ground at
first he thcu rht proper to retire to Isra and
Corncm. The Hungarians have retaken
Neutra. We hear here, that the Russ
ians have been compelled to abandon
Debreezen from the want of provisions, j
Fever and cholera have made fearful rav
ages, both in the Austrian and Russian
armies; and now that they are beginning
to be drawn away from their supplies, the
diseases will work their way in corres
ponding ratio.
"Three ladies of high birth are under
imprisonment at Pesth, for having mani
fested sympathy for the insurgents. They
were tried bv court-martial.

than Imperial authority) that the Kuss-,.

Another letter describes the Russian
retreat to Duna Kees as a disorderly flight !
before Dembinskv s Hussars, and states
that the Russians were only saved from
annihilation by the arrival of Ramberg. ;

Hungarians, passed the river at O'Beckse;
and Bern, at head of G0,000 men, sudden
ly fell upon Jellachich's army and com
pletely crushed it.
Pcsth offered on Sunday and Monday
a spectacle of terror on the one hand, and
of hope on the other. The partisans of
Kossuth had the boldness to speculate once
more in Kossuth bank notes, which they
ran up to 65. All houses and cellars
were shut close, and so it remained till
Tuesday morning. By order of General
Ramberg, gcrsy, a secretary of Kossuth,
was shot.
Kossuth, with the ministers, functiona
ries, and chambers, having withdrawn on
the 9th to Gzeglcd, subsequently remo
ved from thence to Arad, after the surren
der of that fortress by the Austrians under
General Bergcr. The steamers received
orders to move down the river to a place
of security.
A ministerial crisis at Vienna is report
ed. M. Schmerling and Count Leo Thun,
are mentioned as likely to be admitted
into the cabinet.
General Haynau lias been disgraced,
and has to resign his command into the
hands of General Hesse, who has just
been appointed Feldzeugmeister.
According to a Vienna letter of the 20th,
the Emperors of Russia and Austria have
just had an interview at Brunn, the former
having arrived in the strictest incognito.
Lord Ponsonby, the British ambassa
dor, and his family, have arrived at Vi
enna. Vienna papers and letters ofthe22d
inst. contain a bulletin, which confirms
our former accounts of the defeat of Baron
Jellachich. The bulletin proceeds to state
that the Ban's army suffered a loss of GOO
killed and wounded, and among them 14
officers. It is, however, evident that the
Ioes of life must be greater by far than the
number quoted in the official reports.
The head-quarters of the Ban are asserted
to be at Ruma, Syrmia.
A letter from the camp near Comorn,
in the Preesc, gives an awful description
of the scenes that arc enacting in the coun
try around the fortress. On all sides col
umns of fire arc seen rising to the skies,
villages, farms, boats and bridges are in
flames. The artillery of the fortress and
the imperialist batteries, with sixty cannon
of the largest calibre, are firing against
each other.
The KoJncr Zeitung publishes the fol
lowing bulletins:
"Bistritz. June 2G. Wc have taken
Bistritz to-day, No defence was made.
The enemy retreated. I will pursue them
to-morrow. Bem."
"Bistri;Z) JU:1- 'Z0. I have beaten the
Russians. Mvoutnosts are atRickendorf.
My maiden army fought seven hours with
the Russian horse and drove them back.
"Postscript My troops have entered
Valendorf. Bem.
"Bistritz, July 2. I have for the fourth
time advanced to Bistritz by way of Gross
Sajs and Varsahely. I hold ihe enemy
in the denies of Borge, without having
had occasion lo claim the assistance of our
troops at Karlsburg. Bem."
These bulletins are in a manner explain
plained by the following news from Con
stantinople: On the 21st of June, General Luders
took Kronstadt, after a violent contest with
400 Hungarians that had been left in that
town After taking Kronstadt, the .Rus
sians marched upon Hcrmanstadt. The
Hungarians advanced to Togorash to meet
them.
After a bloody battle, which lasted thirty
six hours, General Luders being totally
defeated, retreated to Kronstadt, which
city is filled with the wounded and flying.
nother Russian corps, which was to
force an entry from Moldavia into Tran
sylvania at Aylosh, was likewise roughly
handled, and thrown back into Moldavia.
There is also a Russian bulletin, in
which the above statements are contra
dicted, and in which it is asserted that the
Russians fought four small batdes on the
7th, 8th, 10th and 12th inst., in which
they killed 200 Hungarians and captured
310, while but two Russians were killed
and four wounded.
The Commissioner of the Hungarian
government writes from Hermanstadt,
under date the 3d July, that the Russiaus
have been forced to retreat to Kronstadt.
Bem was preparing to attack that city on
the 8th or 9th July.
The seat of the Hungarian government
has been transferred to Arad, on the 14th
July. This last circumstance proves the
assurance with which Bem hopes to finish
with the Russians in Transylvania, and,
on the other hand, it confirms the defeat
of Jellachich, because, if the army of the
south was still formidable, the Hungarian

ad of famine, we are sur
rwunded by vast abundance. The earth
teems with her fruits. Prosperity crowns
our trade, and the returns of co'mmerce
enrich the land. If we lose much by flood
and lire, still will there remain a great
balance in our favor. I he pestilence,
though fraught with wo to the bereaved
heart, must be designed for good in its
consequences. 1 he movements ot the
world must be active. Where man is,
commotion, agitation, convulsion, will
prevail. After all, what a happy contrast
do we exhibit, when our condition is com
pared to that ol Europe! Fire, flood and
pestilence are common to all the earth.
But Europe, in addition to all these, is
accursed by ever)' civil wrong, social op
pression, and political scourge, that tyran
ny, bigotry and sectarianism can invent,
as a torrent to humanity. The events of
the new world are bright and cheering
compaied to those of the old; and yet, the
latter has a brilliant future to look forward
to. Abounding in money, successful in
trade, blessed with an ever productive
induclry, the old world wears a smile of
regeneration on her wrinkled front, that
augurs well for her freedom, not less than
her prosperity. Gold! gold! cold! is the
cry of her bankers, brokers, exchangers
and merchants. Constitutions! Rights and

the cry must end in reality. Perhaps no
age of the world before gave such abun
dant evidence of God's goodness, instead
ol God s vengeance. No page in the

radiance, as the one now open before us.
And this too! in the face of French nerfidv
and Roman subjection; both, however
grievious and disgraceful, mere spots on
the sun's disc. Neither the walls of Paris,
nor the gates of Rome, embrace earth's
population of freedom. Heads of far-see
ing sagacity, both in the old and new world,
anticipate immense business, and prodi
gious profits, during the year 1850. But

.'2 California Speculation. It is said
that an ingenious Yankee isabout to take
to California a large number of laying

dollars a dozen. He thinks they will lay
enough on the voyage to . make him inde
pendent immediately upon his arrival.
. Heroics of "Heroic Age."
"Heroic Aoe," of the Washington
Union, however he may be ridiculed by
the Republic, holds a pen like the scime
ter of Saladix, keen, flashing, and irre
sistible. We have read his articles with
much pleasure; and although they are ex
clusively devoted to politics, or rather to a
consideration of the merits of Taylorism,
they are remarkably agreeable and in
structive reading. We give a few of the
specimens of his style: Pennsylvanian.
The inhabitants of the South Sea islands
have a curious way of catching monkeys.
1 hese little devils, m the shape of human
ity barring their way of carrying them
selves amuse themselves " by imitating
anything that mortals do in their presence.
The natives, therefore, get a tough log of
wood of some length, and begin with
wedges of stone and wood to split it. As
they progress, they put in larger wedges,
until the split is held open by one or two
wedges easily knocked out. They then
put their hands in the split, and endeavor,
by pulling out both sides, to part the log.
Occasionally one knocks the wedges with
the beetle, and all commence at a dead
pull upon the parts of the log again.
When a sufficient number of monkeys
have congregated about the tree to make a
demonstration, the natives leave the log
with the beetle beside it, and repair to a
neighboring thicket to await the result.
Soon one monkey drops down and takes
hold of the log, then another, and then
another, until the split is lined with their
black paws from one end to the other.
When this is done, a monkey, not to be
outdone in his part of the performances
seizes the beetle, and knocks away at the
wedges, which, ol a sudden, fly out, lea
ving a baker's dozen caught in a trap as
safe as a platoon of cats in a bag. Isn't
there hallooing then? and don't those long
tailed individuals consider themselves ta
ken in about that time? Can't they chat
ter then, and even cry piteously for help?
And don't they, when relieved, have a
sovereign contempt for splits even unto
the day of their death? Well, we con
sider the Democrats, who supported
Zachary Washington, for the benefit of
the Whig party, as in the predicament of
tne monkeys, with their paws in the cleft
log; and if they don't denounce their lead
ers and teachers hereafter, it will be be
cause they have less sense than the real
monkeys, and a better claim to
"A jacket of gre9n, with breeches of blua.
And a hole just behind for tba tail to come
through."
And now for the luck of "Zachary
Washington."
The Second Washington was lucky in
going to Mexico to fight the battles of his
country. He was lucky in getting back
from Fort Brown to Point Isabel, without
being forced to fight a battle without am
munition. He was lucky in fighting the
batUe of Buena Vista against orders, and
as he said, with a halter about his neck,
after the extraordinary capitulation of
Monterey. He was lucky in having men
fitted for the service he was lucky in
having a Worth, a Wool, and a Childs, to
aid him. He was lucky in getting back
from Saltillo to the field of Buena Vista
without being cut off by the Mexican cav
alry. He was lucky in having his letters
well indited; in having his pledges short,
sweet, and comprehensive; in having weak
ppponants in the Whig ranks in Phila
delphia; and in having Democratic friends
in the country, who really thought him a
better Democrat than Gen. Cass, and a
truer patriot than Washington; and now
when the affairs of State begin to press
heavily upon him, how lucky he is in
having a cabinet who desire to do all his
business for him, and monopolize all his
patronage and power.
We respect a lucky man he is the in
dividual "for our money; like a cat ;hrown
out a chamber window, he always drops
with his feet down. A man may be
lucky without finding a soft soap mine,
and respectable without having the dys
pepsia, and as is sufficiendy shown in the
model organ, may be witty without a spark
of common sense. By the way, in future
years, when the Genius of Liberty shall
plough about the high places of the re
public, we should not be surprised if the
savans of Europe should be called togeth
er by the horn of science to examine the
relics of the past that burden the soil, and
which will then be known by the appella
ation of the organic remains of the
"HEROIC GE."
The following account of a green horn's
visit to a ship, is intended to elucidate the
wisdom of certain of the Presidential in
vestigations: As he mounted the sides of the vessel,
ha k i vc r-h aired old boatswain, aresseu in
uniform, with a silver , call, was piping
. T V 1 1. A.
most melodiously, lie seizeu me ooai
swain with both hands, thinking he was
the captain, there6y putting his pipe out,
and astonishing him by his familiarity.
Old Junk retreated forward among his
messmates, who asked him what he
thought of the head of 'the sea lions. "A
tlamn'il nrettv fellow he is," said the ofl-
ended dignitary, "not to know a boatswain
from the captain of a line-of-battle-ship."
Things;, however, went off very well until
the otlicial went forward and looked down
the main hatch. As this extraordinary
hole gaped before him, he seized the cap
tain by the arm and exclaimed, in a voice
of tremulous astonishment, "By Heavens,
she is hollow?" and echo, down in the
deeper vortex, in the shape of the captain
of the hold, answered, "She is hollow!"
and the man on the royal yard heard it,
and, with a smile upon his bronzed coun
tenance, unwittingly, shouted, "She is
hollow;" And blessed b? God, she was
hollow.
Nothing late from California.
Salaries here and in England.
The Reformer Richard Cobden, some
days ago, in a recent debate in the British
House of Parliament on the bill to reduce
the expenses of the government twenty
per cent., made the following striking
comparrison between England and this
country, and the public men of each:
A salary of JC5000 a year for occupy
ing the Treasury bench was much more
than need be paid to any man. He would
go further than a reduction of 10 per cent.
on such salaries. Why, considering the
general range of profits and prices, should
we pay our public officers more than
double the salaries paid to the public offi
cer of any other country? Take the Uni
ted States. (Hear, hear.) It was a great
empire, second only to ourselves in mari
time importance. Well, the four princi
pal Secretaries of State in the United
States received only 1,250 a year each.
Now those men corresponded in dignity
and importance with the Secretaries of this
and other countries, and were in all re
spects quite as distinguished as they were.
It was impossible that any individual on
the Treasury bench could conceive that he
(Mr. Cobden) in any way detracted from
their importance or their merits, by com
paring them with those men. Take next,
the diplomatic officers. Our ambassador
to Paris had .10,000 a year; our ambas
sador to Austria had .9,000 a year; and
our Minister to Spain had 6,500 a year;
while the United States did not pay to
their highest diplomatic functionary more
than 2,000 a year. Now, he put it lo
the house had they one ambassador or
minister abroad who would consider it
derogatory to his dignity to be compared
with Mr. Bancroft? Had they a superior
man to Mr. Bancroft? (Hear.)
Who amongst them all stands higher in
his profession, or n9 a man? Why, then,
should we pay 10,000 a year to an am
bassador at Paris, when the Americans
pay only 2,000 to their ambassador at
Paris? But it was not his proposition that
the salaries paid this country should be
reduced to the same figure as that of the
United States. Let it not be said he was
for bringing down their establishment to
those of a rppublic. If the house would
reduce them 20 per cent, that would satisfy
him, and they would be still well paid.
But what he wished the public function
aries of this country to exhibit more prom
inently was a sense of loyalty, and an ap
preciation of the honor which attached to
the holding of office, and not an exclusive
desire to being paid for carrying on the
public establishments of the country.
Were such a feeling displayed by public
men it would greatly enhance the dignity
of their position and heighten the estima
tion in which they would be held by the
community.
He had thus, then, indicated what was
the class of officers the reduction of whose
salaries he wished to see effected. There
were, in his opinion, not only many that
might be reduced, but many public ser
vants whose services might be dispensed
with altogether. The hon. gentleman
had lost sight of the great number of su
pernumeraries that we had, and who were
not required. The noble lord at the head
of the Government had stated that Prime
Ministers formerly had sinecure offices,
which they could give to their sons.
Now, it did not seem to him that Minis
ters of the present day lost sight of their
relations altogether. ("Hear," and laugh
ter.) A great part of the patronage at the
disposal of our Ministers ought to be con
sidered as some compensation for the la
bors of their offices. Besides, there were
retiring pensions in this country, but in
America there were no retiring pensions
for civil services.
California,
We have before us a private letter,
written by a genUeman of property, now
returned from California, which country
he had visited in the United States ship
Ohio, simply for the purpose of seeing it.
The facts which he states are therefore,
without either the bias of interest or disap
pointment. He states that Mr. Ithamar
Whiting, formerly of Dedham, Mass. and
the two Ranneys, from Chicopee Falls,
are in California. The Ranneys he left
at the Stanislaus "dry diggins," with a
party of 15, sick of their speculation, and
regretting that they had given up their
comfortable situations. The situations
they had left were at a factory in Tepic,
Mexico. Whiting's income from his fac
tory, at the same place, last year, was
$22'000, and yet he left all to dig gold.
The writer left him at San Francisco ill,
where he probably died. He says that
California is the worst "hole of a place"
he ever was in, and that thousands of dis
appointed people were arriving every day.
The writer states that he went up to the
mines in company with a gentleman who
had expended considerable money in brin
ging along fifteen Indians to assist him,
but they did not succeed in getting more
than an ounce apiece per day, and that the
man was aisgusieu wiui me mines, as
every decent person is wno goes mere.
These statements in regard to California,
are, without uoudi, too true. ine sacri
fice of home and friends, for gold, does not
pay, and particularly is this the case with
those who leave good and lucrative situa
tions. Springfield Republican.
Western Boatmen. An effort is beinj;
made in St. Louis and elsewhere, to es
tablish a Chapel for the use of Boatmen on
the Western waters. There were 80,000
of these men employed on the steamboats,
and 20,000 more, it is stated upon the keel
and flatboats, of the., Mississippi and its
tributaries. More than 8,000 are directly
connected with the est. Louis trade alone;
and on an average, some 1500 are on shore

Boatmen's Union.
The boatmen thrm
selves are said to be anxious that this work
should go on, offering to be held responsi-j
ble for the salary ol tnetr minister, i ne
character of this euterprise is such as will
secure it many friends and supporters, and
it is to be hoped the work may be per
fected. ,
Long and Short Articles. A long
newspaper article, like a "great book," is
a great evil. They are less apt to be
read; and if perused at all, a great part ofi
their effect is necessarily lost; if the be
ginning is lost before the end is reached.
Short articles, on the contrary, as they are
most easily read and remembered, are
most likely to be useful. Virgil's good
old maxim in agriculture, is equally appli
cable in writing for the public. Admire,
says, he, 'large farms, cultivate small ones.'
Many subjects cannot justly be treated
with brevity. But such are not suitable
to the columns of a newspaper; they should
be discussed in the monthlies or quarter
lies, or in books. A newspaper article or
paragraph (they should be nearly synony
mous) should be brief, and to the point.
It is a great art to say, either verbally or
in print, just what one has to say, and no
more, and to stop when you have finish
ed Charlestown Free Press.
The Mexican Proctocol.
This document, which has already
created some noise in the public prints, is
likely to be a subject of much discussion
in the next Congress. A correspondence
has sprung up recently between Rosas, the
Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
Mr. Clapton, in respect to its force as a
paitofthe late treaty between the two
countries. Mr. Clayton, we learn, goes
the full length of denying any validity to the
proctocol at all, it forming no part of the
ratified treaty, never having received the
sanction of Congress, and being inconsist
ent with the Constitution of the United
States in some of its requirements, partic
ularly that which recognizes the predomi
nance of a particular religion in the ceded
territories, the grant of land, &c. The
subject is likely to be one of interest in the
next session of Congress. Mr. Clifford
U. 'S. Minister of Mexico, one of the
Commissioners who agreed to the procto
col, is to be recalled, and is likely to be
succeeded by governor Letcher of Ken
tucky. The Mexican journals, we see,
announce the fact of the succession, but it
has yet, we understand, not been fully
determined upon.- Phila. Ledger.
In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, it
has been remarked, the rates of travelling
are higher in proportion to distance, than
in any of the northern states. This is not
good policy, as has been proven by expe
riment in other states. The Harrisburg
Keystone in commenting upon this topic,
has the subjoined remarks:
"Last week we adverted to the high
rates of fare, between this place and Phil
adelphia, and intended to follow it up by
a comparison with the charges on other
routes, in different part3 of the United
States. This we have not found time to
do; but we are fully satisfied that the rates
between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, ought
not and will not, when the Central road
is completed through, exceed 2 j cents per
mile, and we do not think the way travel
ought to be higher. We feel confident,
that the company and state, will find it to
their interest to reduce it to this rate.
when fare is high, none but those who
have business, or who are wealthy, are
likely to travel; but when it is low, many
persons of moderate means, who wish to
visit their friends, or take a little recrea
tion, will avail themselves of the opportu
nity. It will bring the recreation of trav
eling, within the means of a class, that is
now, to a great extent, excluded from it.
If the company and the state, by this
means, can make as much money, if not
more, than they can by higher rates, and
at the same time accomodate the public
and make the works popular, why should
it not be done? We sincerely hope that
the canal commissioners, in any new ar
rangement, will have this object constandy
in view, and we cannot but believe the
Pennsylvania company will cordially sec
ond their efforts.
The Mexican Volunteers.
A Washington correspondent of the
Pittsbvrg Post, says, with much force:
Taylor is a man of strong passions and
prejudices, and the men about him humor
these; and where their dislikes and prejudi
ces unite with his, the combination of them
all together, backed by supreme power.
make all attempts to counteract their evil
influence, hopeless. Thus-Tay lor hates,
with the strongest hatred, all the Mexican
volunteers. With his Cabinet, this hatred
is as bitter as his own. This feelincr is
also general with the whole army, who
have from old associations, an indirect or
sustaining influence over Taylor. So
that all the influence around the President
are adverse to the volunteers of the Mexi
can war. The new army soldiers, com
prising among them, some of the ablest
men of the Nation, are a proscribed class.
They are looked upon, by a certain order
of Whigs, patriots of the Truman Smith
class, and such as make up Taylor's Cab
inet, as vagabonds and oudaws, as a de
graded class, without mind, conscience or
respectabuity. These volunteers, there
lore, officers and men, with a tew excep
tions, where personal or family ties and
influences make it otherwise, you may
please set down as a class beneath the no
