It is certainly our misfortune ns a ntion that we are too easily imposed upon by tLe bold and designing. ly those who have no recommen dation save that of impudence, and the indispu table evidence they afford that the blush ef hon est shame never tinged their cheeks. We seem to derivo a real pleasure from being humbugged. We refuse to leara anything in the school of ex perience, although fihe occasionally forces a les son oil us, for which we pay very dear. Deceived to day, we are equally liable to be imposed upon to-morrow. While dismissing Kossuth as n worthless impostor, who had grossly imposed on our patriotism and liberality, wc gave a youthful singing girl not only a cheerful, but an nthusiastic, welcome, as though she was some thing more than mortal and did not perceive that we had been humbugged until sho had amassed an immense fortune at our expense, and returned to Europe, to dw;ll in retirement for the remainder of her days. The majority of our readers donbtless recollect the advent of Kossuth in this country. He was conveyed to our shores in a National vessel, and received as being little less than a demigod, in stead of a den.ngrgue. He was tycrj where re ceived as a second Washington - - the Man of the nineteenth century. He was everywhere en tertained with all the honors which enth miasm or ingenuity could invent, and wherever he went was honored, courted and followed by the "great ones" of the land. Money flowed in on him from every quarter, and hia "Hungarian bonds" were fcoon above par. The excitement continued for tome time, but at length the fever began to abate, reasan once more resumed his throne, and the people perceived that they had been wor- nhipping a rockless adventurer, whose schemes for the emancipation of his country were as wild and impossible as the most improbable Etory of the "Arabian Nights." The Kossuth excite ment, to use a common but expressive term, soon "fiszled out." Many of his most ardent admi rcrs and disciples during his sojourn in this coun try have almost forgotten him, and could not ttll.if asked, where he now dwells, or whether or not he is still living. A succession of new humbugs Lave since occupied their attontion.and consequently the Governor of Hungary ii con signed to oblivion. yf e need not allude to he Jenny Land cxclts- inent. After it had passed away, we all felt heartily ashamed of it, and fir.nly resolved never to allow ourselves to be made fools of again. Vain and foolish resolution ! We have since been worshipping sonio half-dozen of singing girls and actresses from abroad, with the teal and enthusi asm which show wc have not yet got rid of our National foible. A tew years ago it was given out that a scien tific man, a native of Sweden, had invented aea lorie engine the greatest invention of the age. Kteam engines were to be forthwith ignored, and the calorie age immediately inaugurated. Biogra phies and portraits of the inventor appeared in all the papers. The l)ople were excited, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and a mere experi ment treated as a well ascertained and fixed fact. It was soou ascertained, however, that the whole thing was a magnificent failure. Since then we have heard nothing about caloric engines or ca loric ships, and probably never will. The Atlantic Cablo excitement is too recent to have been forgotten y any of our readers. In fact it has scarcely yet subsided. As soon as it was ascertained that the cable had been laid, we forthwith became wild with enthusiasm. Salutes were fired, cities illuminated, speeches delivered, messages of congratulation transmitted, and Cy rus W. Fields declared the great man of the age. While beef-eating John Bull, our joint partner in the enterprise, looked on in solemn silence, as though nothing remarkable had happened, we were having a regular national jubilee, and good time of it generally. After all, it is now ascer tained that the cablo won't work, and that Eu rope and America aro not yet joiiifd together. Now thai the excitement is otct, we feel very much like a man just recovering from a fit of intoxication who is conscious of having done and said a number of foolish things, but can not reeollect exactly what they were. Our gruff cousin John Bull lias certainly good reason to laugh at us under the circumstances. Only the other day, a couple of fighting black guards, named Morri.ssey and Heenan, had a "1'rir.o fight" for a wager. Tho disgraceful scene was witnessed by a large and exc:ted crowd. Iarge sums wcro staked on the result, and the successful buffer is the Lion of the day. . The Jighl is now the topic of conversation wherever two or three American citizens are gathered together, and the newspaper containing all the particulars i anxiously sought after and carefully perused. Two blackguards who arc infinitely worse than professional hangmea, and little better than murderers, are spoken of as though they really occupied a place among the great aDd remarka ble men of the age. This certainly exhibits a worse phase in our national character than the Koesutk, Jenny Lind, or Atlantic Cable excite ment. This natural love of excitement and transpa rent humbug, ic a real national calamity. It is constantly rendering; us the pliant tools of selfish and designing inj posters, whose only credentials aie ignorance, toipudsoe cod a love of money. It leads us to beitow unmerited honors on the brainless but bold pretender, while modest merit nd worth are overlooked and allowed to pine in obscurity. The trutn is, wa want mere common and Um vncommon sense. If w do not think bkerat'onal men, ii is impossible for us to act ht tlitm. If cornmea rent bad coctrrUod our minds, Kossuth would never have been made a demigod of by us, nor the Atlantic Cable cele bration rendered as a "laughing stock" to the rest of mankind. THE WALKER "EXPEDITION. The filibuster Walker is at his old tricks again. The President has received reliable in formation that an expedition is row being organ ized under the direction of Walker, for the pur pose of invading the Territory of Nicaragua. lie has accordingly issued a Proclamation, enjoiuing upon the officers of the Government, civil and military, in their respective spheres, to be vi gi ant and active in suppressing this illegal enter prise, and in carrying out the standing instruc tions to that effect, and exhorting all good citi zens by their respect for the laws and their regard for the peace and welfare of the country to aid the efforts of the public authorities in the discharge of their duties. The intention is to send men to Nicaragua, ostensensibly as emigrant?, but the real object is to invade that country and renew the scenes of murder and carnage which disgraced the recent efforts of Walker to make himself "President of Nicaragua." Walker has given notice to the Collector of the port of Mobile, that two cr three aundrcd emigrants will be prepared to embark from that port for Nicaragua, about the middle of the present month. The President's Procla mation will probably throw the arrangements of the illustrious fiilibuster considerably "ouf- of gear.

On Saturday, about roon, a heart-rending misfortune happened ia the family of Win. M. Gold, engineer at the 1 earl iMUlg, .re siding on Western avenue, Allegheny. The wife ot Mr. Crold is the mother of twins, not yet two months old. For a few days past they have been troubled with cholic, and the doctor prescribed a very common remedy paregoric, ua catuiaay luey were very re?t less, and Mrs. Gold, previous to preparing diuner, took the phial containing the pare goric, (as she thought) aud gave each of tho babes a portion of the contents. The previ ous evening she had administered to them five drops each, which failed to quiet them, and she determined then to increase the dose, pouring it into a teaspoon, without couutiug the drops. She then placed the babes in the crib, and paid no particular attention to them for some time. Their unusual quiet ness attracted her attention, and she observ ed a laugor aDd extreme drowsiness, which greatly alarmed her. She fled for a neigh bor woman, who immediately began to in quire what she had giveu the children. The mother replied that it was paregoric, and upon turniug to the phial, she was horrified at finding the paregoric aud laudanum pbials side by side. She then remembered that she had placed the laudauum there after after having applied some of it to her fingers which she had burnt the same day. An ex amination convinced her that she had given her babes laudanum instead of paregoric, and she cried out in. the agony of despair, 111 at ehe bad poisoned her darling tubes. Dr. Percbment was summoned, but owing to the length of time which had elapsed, aud the large quantity of the drug administered, (about twnty-five drops each) he at once pronounced their case as utterly hopeless. .bvery means were resorted to, in order to Adams, 2,240 2,220 Allegheny G,508 10,057 Armstrong 2,002 2,386 Beaver 1,152 l.SGl Bedford 2,007 1,811 Berks 0,C54 - 5,024 Blair 1,070 . 2.711 Bradford 1,Q0G ',4,0G2 .Buck 5,171 5,205 Butler 1,984 2,534 Camlri 2,100 1,CG1 Carbon 1,203 1,407 Centre 2,000 3,3C4 Chester 4,742 7,371 Clarion 2,185 1,3C6 Clearfield 1,614 094 Clinton 1,307 1,240 Columbia 1,902 1,458 Crawford 2,114 3,070 Cumberland 2,811 2,501 Dauphin 2,185 S,344 Delaware 1,004 2,818 Elk 519 353 Erie 1,821 2,233 Fayctto 2,527 2,205 Forest 70 77 Franklin - 3,000 3,3S5 Fulton 730 505 Greene 1,941 842 Huntingdon 1,300 2.079 Indiana 1,440 3,027 Jefferson 1.153" 1,257 Juniata yV- ov V-10 Lancaster . ,- v,vw ,,- 9,925 Lawrence Col 1,923 Lebanon 1,508 2,057 Lehigh 3,102 2,917 Luzerne 4,490 4,747 Lvcoming 2,299 2,22$ M'Kcau 540 773 Mercer 2,120 2.825 Mifflin 1,122 1,400 Monroe 1,424 o'J'j Montgomery 5,525 57t; Montour 770 813 Northampton 3,041 2.225 Northumberland 2,450 1,034 Perry 1,023 1,791 j Philadelphia City 20,807 33,395 i Pike 497 170 P. -tier 498 983 Schuylkill 5,494 5,703 Snyder 1,055 1.402 Somerset 1.585 2,475 Sullivan 488 307 Susquehanna 1,954 3,121 Tioga 1.449 3,084 l'n i-hi 748 1,285 j Venango 1,743 1,902 Warren 1,097 l,t;05 Washington . ::,C7 3,900 Wayne 2,121 1,703 Westmoreliud 4,4 50 ii, 783 Wyoming 951 844 Fork 4,559 3,041 Total, 171,130 198,110 Bonus Gold Dollars.

Press, Indian Battle in Oregon Territory The War Ended IIartjoei), Oct. 19, A letter lias been re ceived here from Lieut. Tyler, of the Oregon army, dated Cceur d' Aluo Mission, Wash ington Territory, Sept. 15tb, giving intelli gence fifteen days later than previous advices. and states that the Spokan and Pcluse Indi ans bad been defeated after two days fighting. An Indian chief of tho Spokan tribe has been captured by tho United Staees forces, as well as nine hundred horses belonging to that tribe. All the plunder taken at tho time Col. Step toe was defeoted has been recovered. Col. Steptoe'a pistol was found on the body of a kead Indian. The army lost not a single man. The Inpians were begging for peace, and complying with all the demands of the of ficers, so that that the war was considered as ended. The letter contaiuing these facts was ad dressed by Lieut. Tyler to his father, residing hore, and having teen evprcssed to Fort Tay lor by Indian runners, it is probably the only letter from the seat of war received by the laet California eteamer. uouueed it to be simple and possible. Indeed, a company, at one time, conyisting of Euro pean and American capitalists was near for mation, to carry out the design. The j roject now under discussion does not contemplate the use of a ship railway, but tm rely the cutting of a canal at the Tiuando River, iu the province cf Checo, woerc locks will be unnecessary. During the last four or five years private individuals and the coverc- meutof this country, have been making sur veys at this point, whtch seems a favorable one for the reposed cnterpiisc. While this has b-'endone, the British and French Gov- cremcnts have been advised of the progress of the work, and we are now enabled to state that a company has been organized in Fug- land that will furnish one-third of the capital, while the Kmpcror of the French has agreed to find another third. The capitalists of the United States are now invited to examine the question, to enter upon a complete organiza tion for the most speedy and effective mode ot carrying out ttfe plan, so that the loDg and dangerous route around Cape Horn may be obviated. With the plethora of capital now in the United States, we ean easily afford to turn some of it to so magnificent an enter prize, and we doubt hot that the time is fully ripe for action. Ihe establishment of new States ou the Western coaBt, the discoveries of gold on the Pacific, the opening of trade with China and Japan, the ffroirieg impor tance of islands in Ocanica, tne rising up of a great nation inAustrilia, urge the necessity of facilitating the egress and ingress to the Pacific Ocean by overcoming the paltry bar rier that is so great a hindrance to commerce The world is whirling rapidly, and the best way is to lire with a fall sense of the impor tance of lengthening life and increasing hu man happiness, by saving every moment of time that mere money aud enterprise can ac complish. 1 ennsylvania Inquirer.
