On Tuesday evening, the 15th inat., a man man named Thomas Laughlin was found dead on the Tunnel Hill, four and a half miles from Johastown. His scull was badly fractured, and the bone under the left eye also, giving evidence that the blows must have been infiicted by a hammer. A man named John Martin has been arrested on suspicion of having committed the deed, and sinee been brought to our Jail to await his trial. The murder is supposed to have been caused by the difficulties between the Irish la borers known aa Corkonians and Fardowns. Laughlin belonged to the former, and Martin to the latter.

Kofsuth reached nttsourg on .inurscuiy evening lest,' whore he met with a warm recep tion, and wr.s escorted to tho St. Charles Hotel. During Friday he remained in his quarters to recruit himself after the fatigues of the journey across the mountains."" On Saturday morning, in pursuance of previous arrangements, his pub lic reception took place at the St. Charles Hotel in prcsenco of an immense ooncourso of people, who completely tiled the street for the distance of two squares, in a solid a column as could be compressed. The Pittsburg Tost estimates the nuinbe-r present at "not less than twelve thou sand human beings." He was introduced to the people from the balcony of the Hotel by Win. IV. Irwin, Esq., and welcomed on behalf of the citi zens by Col. Samuel W. Black in a most able and eloquent address, to which Kossuth replied at length, immediately addressing the people, who evinced their approbation by frequent outbursts of applause. Delegations from Beaver, Armstrong, Butler, Mercer, and Lawrence counties were also pre sented on Saturday, each of whom delivered ad dresses giving Kossuth the warmest assurances of sympathy, and also soiao "material aid." To each of whom Kossuth made suitabio replies. On Monday last a banquet was given at the Masonic Hail which the Tost describes as "the greatest demcrstratiou in favor of Freedom that has ever been made in Pittsburg." After Kos suth had been welcomed by A. IV. Looraia, Esq., in a most chaste and beautiful address, ho re plied in a speech of great length, and fully equal in eloquence and argument to any Le has yet delivered. We clip the following extract from the address, in which he alludes to the opposition of Catholics to his mission : Gentlemen I have almost abused your kind patience, tnd I still must claim your indulgence for some further remarks. I am told that the Roman Catholics in the United States are on posed to my views. I am glad to bo able to say that in general it is not so. I have warm' friends and kind protectors amongst the Koman Catho lics Lore. The gallant General Shields, Mr. Downs, the Senator cf Louisiana, the warm neartcd Oovernor of Maryland, j udge Le Grand at Baltimore, and many other of my kindest ! friends are Reman Catholics; and from New York up to whatever place, masses cf Roman Catholics have so universally, so generally shared in the common spuipathy bestowed on me, aa whoever else. How could it be otherwise? Is my cause not the cause of freedom? And is freedom net a treasuro to whatever religious denomination? Can there be a people of what ever religion who loves to be oppressed? WhM country is mere Raman Catholic than Italy, thau Rome itself? And is Italy ig Romo not opposed to the despotic Government of tho Pope in Rome, while it remains 6trongly attached to the spiritual authorities of the Pope? As for myself, 1 am a Protestant, not only by faith, but by conviction; and no man can be more warmly attached to religious convictions than I am. It is no merit of urine that my Uoublesomo life has aSorded to me opportuni ties of severe trial in that respect, and it is no merit of mine, but a simple necessity that I did not sacrifice my religious convictions to what over consideration. But I cm no sectarian, I claim liberty of conscience fur myself; and what I claim for myself, I am of course ready to re spect in whomsoever eise. I therefore respect every religious conviction. I respect the con viction of Roman Catholics, and will never forget that it is the religion of nearly half of my countrymen now, who have cordially co operated in the cause of my country's Inde pendence. I will never forget that it is the religion of Poland, cfr.il Italy, of half Ger- rnr.ny, of the greatsst parts of France and Ire land, whose hearts for tho greatest part are with me, and tho rest of whom, on reflection, must bo with me, because they must side with civil and religious liberty. But if I were a Catholic, I would see with even more pain than, as the simple assertion of civil and religious liberty, I noio see Popery ' prostituted by obedience to the Czar, the re lentless persecutor of Catholicism, who forced the United Greek Cathoiics, in the Polish Pro vinces, by every imaginable cruelty, to abjure their connection with Rome, and carried out r.t a far greater expenditure of human lifo than Ferdinand and Isabella, or Louis XlVtb, the most stupendous preselytisia which violence has yet achieved. Certainly more than 100,000 human beings bad died of misery, or under the lash, in the manner in which the unfortunate Miusk nuns were proven to have died, before he terrified these unhappy millions into a snbmission against which their cor.aeimccs revolted. Yet with this man, red with blood, end damned with the million curses of their co-religionists, have tho men of that order which rules Poprry, now made an auianeCj or rather a compact of submission, like that which evil doers, according to the superstition of pst ngc., made with the evil spirit. A pecu- liar character of that order, is the ambition to ! sit"n " i'1 the rotunda. The military were or rule the world; hence its alliance with the Czar. ! dercd to clear the rotunda, the Speaker plied his Hence is the lVpe an obedient Katrop of the Cz.ir, tho sanguinary persecutor of Catholics in the Polish Provinces. Hence we see High Priests of that Church, misusing their Ecclesiastical authority; opposing every movement for liberty, and supporting the cnuseof despotism on earth. a tl:3 enormity, c.-.lighteneW Catholics them selves hoc clearly, but that ambitious power shich it was a Pope who had been foremost to nppres.-. but which, witli a reptile like vitality had writhed from under the heel that brui-ed it, ' 'W'J ,1,:U """gst them a movement should gain 'P'':'UTlf, ,rT",',? t0 t,,c ' 'pirutions of freedom, ai;,n'1 bcnciki-il but to tho "nr th. oppressor of; i their lN-liwicu ? Is it not clear v tiicm y h v "oixt men, Catholics, like Lamenaus and F.obertz and Gioberti incurred the censure, of the Korean Court ; why the Archbishop of Paris found him self in opposition to its policy, and why the majority of the Roman Catholic Clergy of Italy, of Romagna, and of Home itself, are hostile to the temporal authority of the Pope, and sympa thize .vita Mazzini so generally, that of 17 con spirators, recently ftrrcsted for conspiring in fa vor of the . Republic, against Austria, 1C were priests belonging to the humbler orders of the clergy. They tre, in fact, opposed to the union of temporal and spiritual authority, whieh de grades a religious conviction into a policy sub servient to despotism. They are opposed to per secution and intolerance : and regard with ab horrence the unnatural league with all oppres sing despotisms. These are indeed things which every Catholic, having only at heart the interest of his religion, ought, with deep sorrow, to view, and not allow himself to be abused as a tool by individuals who take tho word "religion" but to screen their private ambition with ; and whose motto is "let the world groan in chains when we but rule under the shadow of the Eagle of Russia.' Really, I am sorry to have thus to speak. But once to do it, was a necessity. If it be indeed true that amongst the Roman Catholics an oppo sition is got up against my cause, let them re member that in opposing me they oppose the independence and freedom of millions of If unga rian Catholics, the independence and freedom of Catholic Italy, Catholic haif of Germany, and Catholic France : and in opposing me they are supporting the Caar, the most bloody enemy of their religion ; they arc doing tnc business of Russian diplomacy. TJie Inaugural Address. Our readers will find this admirable State pa per upon our first page, and we cannot do better than invite for it a careful perusal. We adopt the word3 of the Lancaster Intelligencer, which says : "Governor Eiglcr has done himself much credit by this production its matter and style being equal to any thing of the kind ever issued to the public. Thu Democracy cf Pennsylvania may well be proud of their talented and excellent Chief Magistrate, and they may rest satisfied that in elevating William Bigler to the Guberna torial chair, they placed tho rein. of government in Eteady and careful hands. We predict for our new Executive a brilliant career. The commencement of his administra tioa augurs favorably, and his talents end pa triotism are a sufficient guarantee that he will be "every inch a Governor," and that, under his guidance, our glorious old Commonwealth will go forward prospering and to prosper." CCRRIiSFCirDISrCS. Hahrisbcbo, Jaa. 21, 18o2. Tho storm in which I left town continued during the greater part of the night of Monday, 12th inst., and the snow was eo drifted upon the Pennsylvania Railroad as to cause the train a detention of ten hours between Hollidaysburg and this place. Left the "Mountain House" at 9 o'clock on Monday evening and did not ar rive here until two o'clock Tuesday afternoon. To Capt. Frederick Boley, the gentlemanly con ductor, we were much indebted for his kind at tention and persevering efforts to rush the cars through the snow bank3, in which he succeeded admirably. Upon my arrival here I found the town in arwr of excitement concerning the re ception of Kossuth. He was expected to arrive on Tuesday afternoon but did not reach here until Wednesday at two o'clock. 7he fine mili tary company of Capt. Garland, the' " National Guards," and a very large number of citizens and strangers took part in the procession. Kos suth was escorted thr jugh the principal streets, the "Guards" occupying the post of a "Guard of Honor;" ho was 6eated in a sleigh drawn by four white horses, decorated with flags. By his side were tcatcu the committee consisting of Mr. Kunkle of the Senate, and Mr. Bonhain of the House, who Lad proceeded to Baltimore to meet him ; the next sleigh contained Madames Kossuth and Pulzsky, Col. Pulzsky and Maj. Hennington of England. The streets were ovc-r- I hung with the American, Hungarian, and Tur kish Cags, the ladies waved their snowy white handkerchiefs from the windows of their houses, the gentleman cheered vociferously, and the brass band of the "Guar. W discoursed "a con cord f sweet sounds." I immediately made "tracks" for the ladies whom I had engaged to accompany me to the Capitol and was fortunate enough to procure excellent places for them on the floor of the House of Representatives, in the seat3 of the members, for which I cm under lasting obligations to Messrs. Wise, Laughlin, and Sclicll. By five o'clock the Hail was filled with th members of the Senate, members of the House, heads of departments, Canal Commis sioners, resident and visiting ladies, and gentle men of leisure. At near t-ix o'clock Kossuth arrived leaning on the arm of Gov. Johnston at which time there was much " noise and confu- hammer, the Sergeant-at-Arms was directed to close the door, the Speaker of the Senate ad dressed the noisy crowd, but all of no avail, the sovereign people were not to be quieted. I took a position within a few fet of Kossuth, at the Speaker's stand, and heard the welcome of Gov Johnston and the reply cf M. Kossuth. Persons thirty feet from the Speaker's chair could nut hear a word on account of the noise outside and 'in tho Hal!. Kossuth epcaks feelingly and well, but I must eay that hid speeches read better than listen to. His accent is quite foreign and his voice sweetly musical. In size lie is very iinall fmd to me he seemed a iue:e skeleton of a man having a ponderous head and broad shoul ders, lie wears a moustache .ami beard, has long brown hair, high, proiaincnt forehead, full, large, biue eye, and ia appearance is a remarka ble man. On Thursday I hud an invitation to ' accompany th editorial corps of this town, for i tnc purpose of presenting an address to him. The uddrc?s was spokea by Mr. McKinley of the j f '''" and Kosmh replied iu s.me neat rcmnrks. Immediately afterwards Dr. Browe-r of Butler County was introduced nr.d mru!i sn clomicnt snrw. t... - . t- .i. witu some "material aid," (25.) to which responded in a speech replete with beautiful! imagery and impressive gcm3 of thought. I here had a fino opportunity of seeing and hear ing Lira while Le was "warmed up" with the Cro of enthusiastic liberty (?) and I need but say I was astonished, yet pleased. The ladies presented him an address and each contributed a dollar to the " Fund." The " Banquet" took place on Friday at Herr's Hotel, tickets $5 each. Gov. Johnston made a powerful speech and was loudly applauded; Speaker Rhey also spoke and his'remarks upon the occasion are univer sally commended; Kossuth made what might well be called a set speech and it is conceded that he far surpassed all previous efforts. During his stay in this town about $1000 were contribu ted to the " Kossutir Fund," but the general impression is that the reoule can lo as thov . tjoncti irki a , " . , r . . . preserve a strict neutrality in the-aSairs of foreign governments and leach the nations of the old world by moral persuasion. The people make too much of the man and many are already beginning to regret the active part they have taken in the matter. Kossuth left on Saturday morning and I understand remained over Sunday at Lytle's " Mountain House," where, I learn, he rendered himself unpopular by his arbitrary and dictatorial conduct. He i3, undoubtedly, very excitable and dictatorial, for I witnessed a meeting between bim and a gentleman of this place at which the latter invited Lim to address rhe "people" of Ilarrisbug at seme public place and I had cause to form such an opinion. To change the theme I would inform you that a party of ladies and gentlemen, among which was your humble servant, took a two-horse-j sleigh-ride to Carlisle on Friday afternoon and intended returning same evening, but upon ar rival in that beautiful town the "crowd" were waited upon by a deputation of Carlisle gentle men and requested to accomp.-iny them to a "little dance to-night" about six miles oil" at Papertown. Thinking that the acceptance would favor us with an opportunity to become ac quainted with the fair beauties cf Cai lisle r.nd the very clever, obliging gentlemen of that place, we concluded to go and an hour's ride through a magnificent snow etorni brought our jaded hor ses, our snow clad coats and hats and almost frozen selves to the desired sjot. I here met my very esteemed contemporary John B. Brr.t; ton, Esq., of the Volunteer, and I found him a gentleman, accommodating, sociable and printer like became acquainted with the ladies and gentlemen assembled and we all enjoyed our visit, danced all night till broad day-light and took ourselves and the gals home in the morning. I like the town, the people and the style of their soirees, reminding cna of good old times in Cam bria. 4 - On Saturday Evening Gov. Bigler and lady, accompanied by Cel. Barrett and Judge Prance" of Clearfield arrived in town and re-established the excitement which had in a manner subsided upon the departure of Kossuth. The Governor is looking remarkably well and ia Cue spirits, notwithstanding those "shelves" that it was in tended to work out of Clearfield boards last Oc tober, but thanks to the log the knots were too plenty to allow a "clear shelf " to be blocked out of a Clearfield pine. Gov. Bigler and Gov. Johnston attended the " Printer's Festival " on Saturday evening at Wyeth Hall, and both made speeches which were enthusiastically applauded, more so however was the speech of the former. General Packer, Senator Matthias ar.d F. V? Hughes, Esq., the newly appointed Secretary of the Commonwealth, addressed the banquet and their remarks were well received. Sunday I went up to Carlisle in the cars, but on account of the etorni was obliged to come back in a four horse sleigh with a full load, the cars not being able to run. The great event of the season took place yes terday, namely the inauguration cf Gov. Liglcr. The concourse of pecple was immense. Long before the hour of twelve o'clock the Hall of the House of Representatives was crowded with ladies and gentlemen the ladies occupying the seats of the members and other most favorable positions. To a stranger a glorious opportunity was presented to see of what material the fairest portion cf humanity in this section is composed, and I must saj' that in looking under the sea of bonnets that were in view, the eye could not fail to observe the general beauty of the face, the winning smile of woman, bright, beaming, lus trous, sparkling eyes, at every glance piercing through the very soul of a rugged mountaineer, while the mouth, the true emblem of expression, seemed formed by its creator to elicit man's warmest admiration. The ladies of Ilarrisburg arc the kind to kill a fellow's heart and if I get away from here whole and entire rn irk a wonder. Gov. Bigler was sworn by the Speaker of the Senate and the inward exclamation from the heart of every Democrat was, " thank God and our good Democratic work once more ue have a Governor." The military were all introduced upon the floor of the House and at the commence ment of the " Inaugural Address " the uproar near the door was subsided and all was stillness. The Governor made what I consider a great ad dress and every one in the Democratic ranks cannot dui enuorsc its even' woru. uc spoke-1 with much animation and iu a decided and truly elorjuent manner, and during the course of his remarks was much applauded. Gov. Johnston, Speaker Walker, of the Senate, and Speaker Rhey of the House, sat near him during tho de livery of the address. After its conclusion the band playe I Hail Columbia and the crowd gradu ally dispersed. A number of military companies from adjoining counties were here and added much to the impressivencss of the exercises. Francis W. Hughes, Eaq., of Pottsville, has been appointed Deputy Secretary of the Common wealth and E. S. Goodrich, Esq., tf Bradford, Deputy Secretary. lion. James Campbell, of Philadelphia, is here and receives the Attorney Generalship of the State.

At a banquet given in commemoration of the birth-day of Benjamin Franklin by the X. Y. Typographical Society, Mr. Bigeiow, editor of the Eccning Post, made the following singular, and, to the craft, gratifying statement: He said that he esteemed it an honor, at all times, to appear as the representative cf the Press. He esteemed it the more when he en joyed it by an invitation of the Society of Printers.
