THE JOURNAL. CORRECT PRINCIPLES-SUPPORTED DY 'muTu.] ' 134413 `z" -ar. HUNTINGDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 13 1849 TERMS: The "HUNTINGDON JOURNAL" is published at the following rates, viz : $1,15 a year, if paid in advance ; $2,00 if paid during the year, and $91,50 if not pail until after the expiration of the year. The above terms to be adhered to in all cases. No subscription taken for less than six months, and no paper discontinued until all artearages are paid, unless at the option of the publisher. (C, The McMurtrie Real Estate to be offered for sale at the Court House on to-morrow, is located on Shaver's Creek, not Spruce Creek, as we erroneously stated last week. NEW STAGE LINE. -W 6 are rejoiced to learn that the new Stage Line from Jackstown to Chambersburg, established by our totvnsman, Mr. A. Issnuoc•r, is already attracting public attention, and doing a good business in the way of carrying passengers. We have been infdrm ed by those who have travelled on this line, that the coaches are very fine, the drivers pleasant and attentive, and that the trip between the two points named is quite a pleasant one. See card. l37'Our neighbor, Mr. M. Clabaugh, it will be seen, has opened anew Oyster Saloon, where he is prepared to serve up Oysters and other good things in the best style. give him a call. gcr Those of our friends visiting Illintingdon, who desire to make purchases in town, would do well to first consult our advertising columns. Those who advertise are selling on the modern principle of "quick sales and small profits"— those who do not, are adhering to the old sys tem of high prices. Our Borough. The citizens of this borough, we are pleased to observe, are awake to the importance of se curing the advantages held out to them by the Railroad Company. During the past week, two public meetings were held, relative to sectfring a suitable location within the limits of Our borough, for the erection of the Depot, Ware house, &c., contemplated by the Company. Ow ing to the indisposition of one of our citizens owning the property best adapted to the purpose in question, to make any definite offer of the same to the citizens and the Company, nothing Nof'll definite character has yet been accomplish ed. gtiii this should not discourage us. We should persevere in our efforts so long as any possible chance remains to benefit permanently, our borough. At the Meeting lield 'On Saturday evening last, Committees were appointed to wait on the cit izens generally, and solicit subscriptions to se cure the erection in this horoushof the Railroad improvements in question. We hope that all will evinces Liberal spirit. Now is the time to act. There is danger in delay. CoLt.Ecroa AT PLIILADELPIIIA.-Some of our contemporaries are calling DM* the removal of Wm. D. Lewis, Collector at Philadelphia.— What fort Is not Mr. Lewis honest and capa ble t Before we can make up our mind to op , - pose the Administration by asking the rejection of its appointees, we should like to have ennui good reason for so doing. Mr. Lewis was not our choice for Collector, but since he has been appointed by Gen. Taylor, we do not approve of any Whig opposition to him unless for good and substantial cause. Thus far we believe it is admitted by all that he is making a good ofß cer. Good Appointments. We learn from Washington, that lion. JOHN W. FARRELLY, of Crawford county, Pa., has been appointed Sixth Auditor of the Treasai y Col. S. W. PEIRSON, of Somerset, Charge to Buenos Ayres. These appointments are of the right stamp, and will give great satisfaction to the Whig party. Mr. FAAULLLY was a member of the last Congress from his diet, ct, and served for many years in the State Legislature. He is a gentleman of enlarged intelligence, great per sonal popularity with all who know him, and is a Whig of the right sort. Col. PIERSON has alk•ays been a hard work ing Whig, and a more clever fellow a hris nev er been our pleasure to meet. We congratulate him on his promotion, and wish him unbound ed success and great good luck while filling the station assigned him. It given us pleasure to applaud the Adminis tration for both the above appointments. We hope a "few more of the same sort" may soon be announced. ccr Our friends of the “Blair County 11%i g" will please consider us as having touched our beaver and made our best bow, for their kind and too flattering notice of us last week. If the Whig receives half the support we wish it, it will be one of the best patronized papers in the interior. It cannot receive more encourage ment than it deserves. State Treastiteri To show how sincere were their denuncia tions of Gen. Taylor for making removalt, the locofocos intend removing the present efficient Whig State Treasurer, Mr. Ball, the coming Winter. We do not however complain of this. Mr. B. and his friends ask no favors at the hands of Locofocoism. Whigs are not afraid of star ving when they are turned out of , office. Sev , out locofocos have been mentioned as Mr. Ball's successor, and among them we observe the name of Wm. D. BOAS of Dauphin county. As a - change is determined on, we believe the selec tion of this gentleman would be the most pop ular that the Locator° party could make. He is competent and honest, and personally very' popular with all who know him. Handsome Compliment to Governor Johnston. At the last •liiversary of the First Baptist Church Sunday School, West Philadelphia, the Rev. Mr. Hamner, in the course of his remarks mentioned that the Governor of the States through which he had recently travelled, had been constittited Life Members of the Ameri can Sunday School Union, by the liberal contri butions of Sunday School children. At the clOze of the services, a collection of more than $5O was taken up for the benefit of their own school, and just as the benediction was about to be pro nounced, some one who did not believe that charity should end at home, very unexpectedly rose up and Said, he realty thought they should do something to aid the American Sunday Sehdol Union in planting schools in destitute places, &c. &c.—lle proposed to make the Pas tor of the Church, and the Governor of the State Life Members of this Society, and at once the necessary amount, $6O, was secured. The following letter from Governor Johnstbn accepting the pcisition assigned him by the kind; news and respect of his young friends, will be read with great pleasure by every good citizen. EXECUTIVE CIIAMBEE, Harrisburg, Pa., July 27, 1819. I . R.. T. L. IIAmNER,—./lle Dear Sir have received your kind letter, communicating the gratifying fact, that the Sunday School of the First Baptist Church, West Philadelphia, have procured for me a Life Membership in the American Sunday School Union. This act of generous kindness, I shall ever cherish and remember, and more particularly so as being the UneXpected and voluntary action of those who can have no impure motives, but whose thoughts, like themselves, partake large ly of the Kingdom of Heaven. In early live it was my fortunate lot to be come a scholar; and subsequently a teacher in a Sunday School. The impressions there receiv ed of the value arid importance of Scripture !earning, have increased with my advance in life: In the dark hours of worldly trouble,in the midst of the storms of human existence; in the hustle of life's affairs, or the turnidils bf political strife, the good man finds in his Bible a conso lation and contentment that the unlearned in its holy teachings cannot possess. In the day of our tribulation, when the anxieties, thoughts, purposes and designs of humanity are closing— the angel of death stands ready to usher the spirit into the spirit-land, it is then the devout reader and follower of the Bible precepts, tri umphs in the calmness of his death, under a blessed hope of a bright futurity; while the uninformed writhes in mental agony ovef the doubts and shadows of an uncertain destiny. '1 he Almighty Father conferred upon his re bellious children no greater blessing than the Holy Scriptures, and man can be employed in no higher or holier duty, than in their diBtriburion and teaching to his fellow man. I accept, - with great pleasure, the position as signed to me by the kindness of my young friends; and shall feel obliged by the commu nication of such acceptance to them. With sentiments of sincere regard, I remain mbst truly yours, IVA!. F. JOIINSTO. FOREIGN NEWS. Since our last the Steamship Hibernia has ar rived bringing one week later intelligence from Europe. The Russian Autocrat has as yet made no espouse to the Turkish refusal to surrender the Hungarian refugees. The French Ministry have determined to adhere to the views on the Roman question laid down by Napoleon in his letter to Ney, and both Falloux and Thiers are balked. Mr. Thiers has made an elaborate re pOrt to the Assembly, in which he is said to ar gue that the organization of the Roman Catho lic thiirch and the so-called Rights of the peo ple are ificdmpatible with each other, and that the latter Ought to give way; and Mr. Falloux is going to leave the Ministery because it says it will not act further on the same doctrine. The question of a central power for Germany has been provisionally settled by a treaty be tween Austria and Primate, so that the wisea cres who expected a war in that quarter are dis appointed for the present. The Illingerians who were at Comorn are coming to America with Klapka at their head ; and those whd are at Widden are about to be transferred to the isle of Candia by the Turkish Government. From there they can easily get off to England. The report that Item has turned Turk is confirmed, And it is said that Dembinski and others have done the sante, and are now officers in the Turk ish army. Og"The New York elettion take's Olace in November. Our chicken cock has his jaws set for a strong crow.—lrantingdon Glo;ie, Oct. 3d: Well, let us hear Lim crow. Why, neighbor, out' Coos instructs us to say that he dares your male chicken to look at the returns from New York, and even give a genteel yawn, in place of the "strong crow" for which he had his "jaws set." The New York Election. GLORIOUS NEWS. The union of the (lid lldnker Locofocos and Free Soilers of New York, it was thought, would certainly defeat the Whigs of that State on the Gth inst. Not so however. The Whigs met the unprincipled coalition fearlessly, and overthrew it. In the City of New York the Whig majority over the coalition is about 2000! The Whigs have also carried their four sena torsi and 14 out of the 18 assemblymen. In the common council the Whigs have 11 aldermen to the Democrats 7, and the assistants are classed in the same way. Three cheers for the gallant Whigs of the Empire City. The Whig majority in the State over the two combined parties will be about 5,000. The Legislature will be close but it is thought the Whigs have a small majority in both Houses. This is important as aU. S. Senator it to be elected. /lima for the Jersey Blues! As usual the Whigs of New Jersey again tri umphed over Locofocoism on the 6th inst. The Locofocos made a desperate effort to secure a majority in the Legislature, but the ever trde Whigs of Jersey, although no excitement pre vailed amongst them, rallied and carried the Legialature by a majority of nine on joint bal lot. The House will stand :33 Whigs to 25 lo cos. Senate 10 Whigs ton locos. Cholera in New York. From a report of the Sanatory Committee of the New York Board of Health, we learn that the total number of deaths from cholera and other diseases of the bowels, from May 10th to October Ist was 15,219. Of these 5,017 were from cholera asphyxia, 001 from cholera infan turn, 226 from cholera morbus, 015 from diar rhea, and 019 from dysentery. The report says that after numerous and va rious experiments no foreign matter could be discovered in the atmosphere which can be re garded as the source of disease. No substance was found present in the air capable of produ cing the chemical effects attributed to 'ozone,' and the experiments of those European chemists who have announced the production, by artifi cial means, of such a new form of matter as ozone, or such a modified or 'allotropic' condi tion of those forms previously known to us, are declared to be unsatisfactory. CoNs•rnocTivc MILEAGE.—It appears that Mr. Comptroller Whittlesey has just put his veto upon the account rendered lty Mr. Dick ens, the Secretary of the Senate, of aboUt 000, which he paid to the members of the Sen ate, as constructive mileage : that is he ,aid all of them, but three who had scruples in the mat ter, the mileage, for going home on the fourth Of March last, end returning the same day. It is stated that Mr. Whittlesey stibthitted the matter to the President, who promptly request ed him td do what he believed to be right and let the conseqtiences take care of themselves! Mr. Dickens will, therefore, have to ask Con gress to make up the expended sum. The paid Senators will hardly refund any part of the $40,- 000 they have received, according to precedence though not according to law and justice. DIFFICVLTY IN THE FRENCH CHATIBEIIS.-It is stated in the telegraphic intelligence from Paris, that on Friday the 19th ult., during the speech of M. de la Drone on the Roman ques tion, an altercation arose between Thiers and Bixio. The latter declared that the former had said that the election of Louis Napoleon would be a disgrace to France. Thiers demandedsat isfaction. A duel took place at once; one shot was fired by each at twenty paces distance, but neither was wounded. and the seconds came forward and said that the parties had done all that honor required. Both members returned to the Assembly just as the sitting was adjourned. LADIES eon CALIFORNIA.-A young lady of Boston has accepted an offer of $4OO per month to act as book keeper in a mercantile house in San Francisco. It is also stated that several young ladies are about leaving Boston for Cali fornia. SLAVES RMANCIPATED.—The Staunton (Va.) Vindicator states that Mrs. Polly Bell, the wid ow of Francis Bell, deceased, near Long Glade in that county, has liberated all their slaves, 83 in number, with a view to their settlement in some one of the free States. These slaves are principally young and design locating in Ohio. A DEFENCE, bi Wm. Pix:v.—We learn from the Philadelphia North American that Mr. Hen ry Fairbairn, an English gentleman, residing in that city, has prepared, in pamphlet form, an examination of the charges which Mr. Maccau ley, in his recent history df England, preferred against the founder of our now great Common wealth—the illustrious William Penti. TUE COST or RIOTS.-It appears, by a re port to the Philadelphia county Board, made on Monday, that nearly a quarter of a million of dollars ($238,230) has been paid out of the county Treasury since 1836 for the suppression of riots. This sum does not include the snug little bill which has yet to be footed for the riot on election night, which will probably bring the amount quite up to a quarter of a million. REPEAL OF Tux TARIFF.-A movement in fa vor of a repeal of the present tariff, or a con siderable modification of it, has been started arhong the manufacturers of New Jersey. A State convention on the subject is proposed to be held in Trenton en the 14th of November next. 177' HENRY PEtRIKEN, Esq., we regret to learn, died at the Merchant's Hotel, Philadel phia, on the Bth inst. Mr. P. was from Centre County and formerly a member of the State Senate. tie served as Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth under Governors PORTER and SHUN. He was recently appointed by the Canal Board to suPerltitend the censtruction of the Rail Road to avoid the Inclined Plane. His uge was about fifty years. Sixama. CASE.—The Cumberland, (Md.) Alleghenian states that on Wednesday last, an Irishman, who resides nen.' :Lanaconing, threw from his stomach a live snake five of six inches in length. For several years past he has been in delicate health, and latterly subsisted almost wholly upon Milk. On Wednesday, at the earnest persuasion of several of his countrymen, he was induced to drink with them. Directly after swallowing the liquor, he was Seikod with vomiting and threw up the snake. Tim COST OF THE GREAT PACIFIC RAILWAY. —At the St. Louis Convention an estimate was submitted by Col. Curtis, a skillful engineer, of the cost of the road to the Pacific, and the cost of the survey. The road can be made, he thinks, for eighty millions of dollars ; and one thou sand men, an engineer with a party being as signed to each one hundred miles, can complete the survey in one year. Bg= A greit fhot-race came off at Buffalo, on Wednesday last, for a purse of $l,OOO, between two whites and eighteen Indians. One of the Indians, named Canada, won the race, making his ten miles in fifty five minutes and forty-five seconds. Jackson, 'the American Deer,' com ing in some six rods behind him. This ig said to be the best time on record. RIOT .-A serious riot occurred in Reading on Monday night last, between the men attached to Spalding & Rogers' circus and a number of the citizens: The Administration. In little more than a month hence the President will present his message to Congress, when the line of policy design ed to be pursued by the Administration will be distinctly traced out, and be sub ject to the approVal br condemnation of the American people. It would seem, therefore, to be a simple aet a justice in those politically opposed to the Pres ident, to withhold their hostility until he shall have the opportunity to define his position, and to make known the measures which he would recommend to be adopted. Should he recommend, any thing adverse to the interests of the country his opponents may attack his measures without subjecting themselves to the charge of being influenced by factious motives. if they are resolved to "strike," they should at least "hear him," first so as to be able to give a reason for the blow which they may give. He had hardly taken his seat in the Presidential mansion before he was violently assailed with abuse and at tempted ridicule ; but this erroneous course cannot affect his popularity or diminish the respect in which he is held by the American people, who will judge him by his acts and not by the imagi nary offences imputed to him by embit tered partisans. All he can desire is to be judged fairly, and that lie has a right to expect from a free and enlight ener, people.--Baltimore Clipper. FnimiTFut. ACCIDENT.—On the 10th ult., while Mr. lessee Frizzell of Libertytown, Fred erick county, was on his return from Baltimore, with two ladies, Misses Williams, as Messen gers in his wagon, a thunder storm came tip. In order to shelter the ladies and himself from the pelting of the rain, which blew fiercely into the wagdn, he dro{ee under an oak tree dear Pine Orchard School and Meeting house, in Franklin District of Carroll county, and sad to relate, they had not been more than fifteen minutes there when the tree was torn to atoms by light ning, the horses both killed, wagon body badly shattered, and one of the ladies (Miss Ann Ma ria Williams,) seriously burnt and otherwise injured by the lightning ; so much so that it is thought she cannot ettrviiie: Hardships of Gold Hunting. Dr. M. R. Tewksbury having personally seen the Elephant, writes a description of the pecu liar kind which exists in California that is by no means flattering. We COrry the beet pate graphs: In relation to myself, I have no horribles to relate, except from the best fair I shrunk fifty pounds in my personal corporation. I instance this as a specimen of the general result of the lavirs of the circumstances ; and nature dealt more kindly with me than with a vast majority of unworthy associates. To an experienced Californian, there is nothing more foreign to his thoughts than the idea of getting rich by dig; ging gold. Ido not exceed the bounds of sober truth, when I estimate that nine-tenths of the honest laborers who go there, moderate their aspirations for gain, to the simple point of gain ing enough to get them back to they own coon , try. The Captain of the vessel in which I sailed from San Francisco toldme that nearly all of his Pas sengers were begging applicants for the privi lege of working their passage from Panama. A man, of whom it was reported in the New York papers that he had returned with twenty thou sand dollars worth Of Old as the reward of his enterprise, to my knowledge had to borrow money to meet his current expenses home. Susquehanna Bank—Heavy Defal- Onion: MoNTßose, Pa., Nov. 5. The Cashier of the Susquehanna Bank has been committed to jail, in default of $lO,OOO bail, on an alleged charge of defalcation. It is reported that $85,000 of the funds of the bank are unaccounted for. Horrible criinez Sr. Loris, Nov. 6 A revolting case of rape and murder took place the other day, near Palmyra. A negro belonging to Mr. Glasscock, committed violence on Miss Bright, an interesting little girl, 14 years of age, and then murdered her. FOr fear df be ing detected, the inhuman monster turned rbund and killed her brother, aged 11 Yeats. The wretch has been arrested, and will be burned alive on Friday. Young Barnum, who was shot in St. Louis by the French brothers Montesquieu, is much better, and hopes are entertained of his recov. ery. The editor of the St. Louis Republican has been shown a sample of Rice grown in the vicinity of that city. It was raised without ir rigation of the land, and the experiment, though Made on a small scale, has convinced the culti vator that rice may be made as valuable a crop to the grain grower of that region as many of which are now cultivated. ELECTIVE JUDICIARY.—The Kentucky Con vention. after a weeks debate, has adopted the several articles of the new constitution report ed from the committee, providing for an elective Judiciary. The four Judges of the Court of appeals are to be chosen by districts, one to be Chosen every second year, and are to hold their offices for eight years. TIIE WESTERN RAILROAD.-We understand that Milnor Roberts, Esq., who is the Chief Engineer of the Bellefontaine and Indiana Rail road, writes that his surveys are progressing very satisfactorily, and that the country is of as favorable a character as could be desired. He is engaged in surveying the eastern end of the Bellefontaine road where it connects with the Ohio and Pennsylvania road. He has run some portions of the line 17 miles without a curve. DEsiti Or T. J. GROSS.-We learn that Thos. S. Gross, who fir 18 years has been assistant Clerk of the House of Representatives of this State, died at the Trappe, Montgomery county on the 28th ult., in his forty-sixth year. He was a moat excellent officer, and deservedly held in high esteem. Perhaps no legislative body ever had a more assiduous, attentive and competent clerk. DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD IN CAnaora COUNTY PA. --We learn by the cars from White llaven, the particulars of a tremendous Hood, and it, mel ancholy consequences. It appears that, on Hickory Run, a stream whit h empties into the Lehigh, about five miles below White Haven, there was a large dam, belonging to Mahlon K. Taylor, which covered about seventy acres of ground, when full, and in some places forty feet deep. Dining Monday night in consequence of the hedvy rains on that day, this dam filled to overfloVving (the waste gates having been ne glected to be hoisted.) and the dam gave way about midnight, sweeping every thing before it. Houses, with their sleeping inmates, were dashed to atoms, and their inhabitants, without a inoinent's ,warning, carried away by the migh ty flood: Mr. Taylor's house and two saw mills were bestroyed. Isaac Gould's house and sawmill were carried sway, and not a timber remained together. His daughter, who was in the 'Muse at the time, was fourid on Tuesday, under a heap of floodwood, dead. !not . " 'West's wife and four children found dead ; he was under a log heap, in a state of insensibility. Thom as Crawford and wife were both found dead. Twenty persons were Missing, of whom seven bodies have been fotind. Nothing has been 1 1 heard from below the mouth of the creek, and serious apprehensions are entertained for sever al families living just belowi in a narrow gorge. They must have perished. As the Lehigh was high at the time, we very much fear there has been disasterous work along the whole Tine of the Lehigh navigation.—Luxerne Pa. Denwerat Oct. 31. TERRIBLE AND FATAL COLLISION ON TIIE COL umutA RAILROAD.-About 4 o'clock on Thurs day afternoon, a serious accident, attended with a loss of life, and a considerable destruction of valuable property, occurred on the Columbia Railroad between Parlcsville and Coatsville. The locomotive t 0 Clarion" with a freight train going tip Wards, was approaching the latter place to take in water, when the coupling of part of the train broke. Twenty cars all heavily laden were thus liberated, and there being a heavy downward grade, they ran down by their own gravity with immense speed.—They went on as far as Coatsville bridge, inhere they came in col lision with another train Which had left Parks burg some fifteen minutes previously. Such was the force of the shock, that some twelve cars were demolished and three others were driven completely aver the bridge. Two men in the employ of the State, were at work repairing the road near • the spot, and not seeing the cars come on the north track were struck by them. One of them, named Linn was instantly killed, his head being sever -61 from his body. The other man, named Pat ton, was seriously hurt, and is not expected to survive. It is stated that the men in charge of the cars which broke loose, had left the train and gOne into the hotel at that stopping place. They were employed by the transporters, and their conduct is highly censured. Had even one of them been on the train, he might have used the break, and thus have prevented the disaster. North American. For the Journal To Mi:. J. As HALL : var I were the only object of your en mity, I would pity and forgive you. YOU have every claim to compassion, that can arise from the misery of defeat. The condition you are reduced to, would dissrm a private enemy of his resentment, and leave no consolalation to' the most vindictive spirit, but that such an object as you are, would disgtade the dignity of revenge. But the nature of your transgressions gives you no title to indulgence ; and though an individual is not authorized to forgive the in juries done to society, he is called upon to as sert his separate share of the public resentment. Engaged in the defence of en honourable cause, I would take n decisive part. I should scorn to provide for a futureretreati or to keep terms with a man who preserves no measures with the public. Neither the abject submission of de serting his post in the hour of danger, nor the more honourable shield of cowardice should pro tect him. I would pursue him in his shameful retreat, and try the last exertion of my abilities td expose the infamy of his name. Finding yourself unable to cope with the trhe spirit of resentment, you vainly attempt to per suade others, that unseen hands are raised against you. I have no disposition to charge a man of such high honour with palpable falsehood, how ever deserving he may be of it, but it is due to those whom you would calumniate that I deny the assistance of any individual either in word or deed. Atiil the best consolation that you can get Upon this point, will be to read the story of the German Knight who went forth in pursuit of adventure ; and when he had awakened the rage of his antagonist, he found, too late, he had not the proper weapons of defence. You have labdured to draW some nice distinc tions between yourself and me. This I will not for a moment resent. Our readers will be able to put a proper estimate tipon our faculties for compounding ideas ; and you will be able to see your folly by turning back to your first person al address to me. It has gone forth to the world as a token of your morality, arid the vicious will read it as master effort, while the wary la bourers along our public wprks will hail it as an addage to their stock and store of rant and abuse. Where we once saw you slumbering upon On academical throne, enjoying the highest honors attainable by a man of your limited education, we now see you writing the death warrant of your own reputation. Whete then saw you eldthed iii the habiliments of public praise, enjoying a life of civil security, we now behold you adding the last negative to your character, and meanly confessing that ybu have not the common spirit of a man. What then, my fair sir 1 Is this the event of all the sacrifices you have made 1 Have you se cured nothing for such a waste of honor? Noth ing for the friendship you have so scornfully rejected? Nothing to compensate you for the sacrifice of your own personal feelings ? . Un happy man! The palm of educational friend ship has passed from your view. Return then, fair sir, to the solitude of your own just limits, and hide your blushes trbm the public gaze.— In that solitude with such a load of shame even black may change it color. I will not impose upon our readers a review Of the fOul and unfounded imputations alleged against my supposed allies, but rest assured, sir, the malignant rancor of impotent spleen and en vywill assail them in vain. believe now, my most gracious sir, that I may take my leave of you forever. I have every reason to suppose that in future times, when you are approached in all the forms of de corum which you deserve, you will be more cautious in dealing out malevolent tirade, though it be clothed in that deliriuni tremens sort of literature which yoU value to highly.— The hand that is quickly raised in self-defence, is not callous to the touch of humanity. Even Casa,- regretted the fall of Pompey. And while I commissetate your situation, I vvould more deeply regret the recklessness of ihid event, if I were not satisfied that really to info'rm the understanding corrects and enlarges the heart.

In New York, idst week, one lawyer brought another before a jury, for spittin3 in his face. —Verdict the Pldintili WO. Letter from Kossuth, the Hungarian, ELOQUENT APPEAL TO-ENGLAND The following letter from Kossuth, the brave Hungarian leader, addressed to Lord Palmer ston, makes a forcible and eloquent appeal to' England, in behalf of himself and the other Hun garian refugees. We give the letter in extenso, as we arc sure it will be read with lively in terest : Kossuth to Lord Palmerston. Wines, (Turkey,) Sept. 20., Your Excellency is, no doubt, already informed of the fall of my country—Un happy Hungary, assuredly worthy of a better fate. It was not promoted by the spirit of disorder, or the ambitions views of fac tion ; it was not a revolutionary leaning which induced my native country to ex cept the moral struggle Illumined so glo' riously, and brought, by nefarious means' to so unfortunate an end. Hungary has deserved from her Kings' the historical epithet of "generous na tion," for she sever iilloWS herself to be surpassed in loyalty and faithful adher; ence to her sovereigns by any nation ire the world. Nothing but the most revolting treach ery, the most tyrannical oppression, and. cruelties unheard of in the words of history—nothing but the . infernal doom of annihilatron to her national existence preserved through a thousand years; through adversities so numerous, were able to arouse her to oppose the fatal stroke aimed at her very life, to enable, her to repulse the tyrannical assault of the ungrateful Hapsburghs, or to accept the struggle for life; honor, and liberty forced upon her. And she has nobly fought that holy battle, in. which with. the aid of Almighty God, she has pre- veiled against Austria, whom we crush ed to the earth, standing firm, even when attached by the Russian giant, in the consciousness of justice, in our hope in God s and in our hope, my lord, in the' gonerous feeling of your great and glo nation, the natural supporter of justice and humanity throughout the world.— But this is over; what tyranny began has been by treachery concluded ; on all sides abandoned, my poor country has fallen, not through the overwhelming power of two great Empires, but by the faults, and I may say the treason of her' wn sons. To these untoward events, 1 pray God that my unhappy country may be the only sacrifice, and that the true interest of peace, freedom, and civilization throughout the world may not be invol ved in our unhappy fate. Mr. Francis Pulaski, our diplomatic agent in London, has received ample in formation as to the cause of this sudden and unlooked for change in the affairs of Hungary, and i- , instructed to commu nicate it to your Excellency, if you are graciously pleased to receive the same. It is not antipathy to Austria, though so well merited at the hands of every Hun. , garian, but a true conviction which makes me say, that even Austria has lost far more by her victory, gained through Russian aid, than she would have lost in merited defeat through honorable ar rangment. Fallen from her position of a first-rate power, she has now forfeited her self-consistency, and has sunk into the obedient instrument of Russian am bition and of Russian commands. Russia only has gained in this sanguina ry game: she has extended and strength. ened her influence in the east of Europe and threatens already, in a fearful man ner, with outstretching arms, not only the integrity, but the moral basis, of the Turkish empire. May it please you, my lord, to commu nicate to your Excellency a most revol ting condition which the Turkish Gov ernment, at the suggestion of Russia, is about to impose upon us poor homeless exiles. I s the Governorof unhappy Hungnry, after having I believe, as,a good citizen and honest man, fulfilled to the last my duties te my country, and had no choice left me between the repose of the grave and the inexpressible anguish of expa triation. Many of my brethern in misfortune had preceded me on the Turkish terri tory.
