ESCAPE OF MRS. KOSSUTH.
AS AUTHENTIC SARRATIYI. |
During he month of August, 1848 the i
President Governor of Hungary Louis Kos <
su’h with tha principal officers of his provis
ional government, were in the fortified town 1
of Arad, on the river Maroseh. Between that '
place and the town of Zegad n, on the Tiach,
in the vicini-y of Arad, Geor/ey, with the
Hungarian troops under his command, lay
encamped : while behind him, towards the
Tiach, was the Russian army of reserve, un
der Paskiewitch. Dstnbenski, with his mon,
besieged Temeswar, and he bad already car*
tied its third wall. Between him an! the
T *eh lav the united A istro Russian Forces-
The army of Bern had b*en defeated at H«r
manatadt by the Russian General, Luders, and
he had fled with a small band of faithful fol
lowers toward Tern as war.
With this position of the combatants, the
plan of Dembirski was to unite with Geor
gey, near Arad, and then to attack the Russian
forces. Before this was effected nows reach
ed him of the capitulation of Georgey, and
that the Governor, M. Kossuth, had been
compelled to forsake Arad, and retire to the
town of Vilagos. Before leaving Arad, the
Governor separated from his wife and chil
dren. and their paring scene is said to have
been one of the most touching nature. Un
der ibe circumstances of the moment, it was
a subject of more even than doubt whether
they would ever meet on earth. It was only
when a young Hungarian noblemen, named
Athbm. now in exile in Kutayieh wi*h M
Kossuth, solemnly swore to his wife that he
would never leave her husband, that Madame
K<v*uth consented to be separated from him
and seek safety in flight The children were
confided to the care of a private secretary of
the Governor, and this individual subsequent
ly delivered them up to the tender mercies of
Haynail, for the purpose of securing bis own
pardon and safety. The children ret out be
tore their mother, and the la'ter in her flight
endeavored to keep at least so near to them as
to now and then of their safely.
Madame Kossuth s ught out a brother of
hers residing in the town of Villages, and
he is now imprisoned in the fortress Comorn,
with >r any others of the unfortunate Hnn
garisn patriots, for eighteen years, on account
of the succor which he then gave to his sister.
Leaving him, she next went in search of her
children, end wandered to a pesta or farm
bousd, Boeksak belonging to a relative. There
sae fell ill of a Typus fever, which nearly
ended her life ; and when so far recovered as
to bo able again to travel, she continued her
journey in search of her children. She «oon
learned that they had been given up by their
protector to the Austrian General, Haynau.
and taken to Pea h. Her own safety depen
ded wholly upon the fidelity of the Hungarian
p»a«ants, and on their attachment to her htis
bind.
iNow having no other object in view than
h‘ir own safely, without friauds bet.er off
than herself, she soon became reduced to a
state of cimplete destitution. In disguise she
wandered over the tno?l miserable part of
Hungary. She even, aw a moans of safety as
well as support, sought for service as servant,
and by toiling that she was a poor woman,
who bad just been discharged from a public
hospital—which, indeed, she very tnach re
sembied —was so fortunate as o find employ
o<ent in the family of an humble carpen er, in
the town of O:a»h Iliya, who little thought
he was served by the iady of Louis Kosjutb,
the late Governor of Hangary Everywhere
notices were exposed in the strsets offering
forty thousand florins for her capture, and
prochiming death as the punishment of the
person who should dare to harbour or conceal
bar from the authoiiiies.
Among the persons who fled with M Kjs
aiith before the overwhelming number of h s
enemies, was an elderly lady, whom it is
necessary to designate as Madame L—,
and who, from being unable to ride as fas*, and
as long as those who were stronger and young
er inan herself, soon became exhausted, aid
was left behind. She had a son, a Major in
tha Hungarian army, near the person of the
Governor, and both son and mother were
warmly attached to his interests Madame
L "—■ ■ when unable to proceed longer with
the fugitives, in order to reach a place of ssfe
tv in tt.e dominions of the Sultan of Turkey,
determined l«i remain in Hungary, and d vote
herself to the findii g of Madame Kossu:h and
res orhig her to hnr husband
f,or this benevolent purpose, Madame
L disguised herself as a beggar, and
alter a long and weary journey, oftener on
foot than in any conveyance, vhe crossed the
vast sandy pltias of Sou hern Hungary and
at length reached the p’aco in which Kossuxh's
cl ildre a were but could hear nothing of tbeir
mother.
She learned that the children had been sent,
soon after their mother had lost sight of them,
to the house cf General G ■■ —, now in the
s-rvice of the S u't’n in Syria, to be kept with
his own three children hoping that they would
thus bd screened from those who sought alter
thorn. The eldest, named Louis after his
father, was seven years of age; and all *ere
told that if they acknowledged they were ths
children of the Governor, they would be .m
--piisoned by the Austrians, and never wee their
parents again So that when an Austrian
oil cer traced them to the house of Genera!
G he whs at a loss to know which of
the children were those of General G ■,
und which those of M. Kossuth; and ap
proaching the eldest cf the latter, he said i
“So mv little man you are the sou of the
Governor !”
To which the youth replied, “I im not sir f’’
His firmness surprised and vexed the officer,
who was certain fioai the statement of their be
trayer, that these before him were the long lost
treasure of tils ambitious search, lie now en
deavoured to frighten the children, and, draw
ing a pistol, directed ii to the breast of the boy,
and said that I* he did not at once acknowledge
that he was the son of Kossuth, he would put
a ball though his heart. Young Louis—who, it
is said, shows himself now in exilo at Kutayieh,
much of the character of his father—replied in a
tone equally firm :
ffc ( ’1 tell you, sir, lam not the son of Kossuth ”
Tlu officer baffled by the child's simplicity of
manner and apparant sincer ty, waa divested of
hie convictions, and led to believe that he ha J
been imposed upon.
But before Madame L could gel near
them, other agents of the Austrian Government
hud been more successful, and the three children
had been carried ofl in si eret to Pesth, near the
clutches of the butcher Haynau The moth
er and sister of M Kossuth had also been
captured and placed in strict confinement.
It may be here mentioned, in this Utile narra
tive of the sufferings and deliverance of the rel
atives of Louis Kossuth, that Madame L ,
on finding w here and how her children were situ
ated, found out her own maid-servant, and so
succeeded as to have her engaged al Peath as
thrir nurse. This person never left them until
the moment of their final deliverance from their
Austrian jailers was arrived- After thus having
provided tor the welfare of the children of M.
Kossuth, Madame L renewed her search
for their les ituie, suffering mother.
Finding no trace of her, Madame L de-
termined to follow (he fugitives, and if she
reached Widdin, to ascertain from M. Kossuth
himself, where his poor wife had gone, and then
return, tn search other Continuing tn the dis
guise of a beggar, sometimes on foot, at others
in a farmer's cart, this heroic woman reached
the frontiers ot Hungary, and, crossing them,
entered the tonified and walled town of Wid
din. where the late governor of Hungary and
ilia brave unfortunate companions were, enjoy-
In the protection and hospitality of the Sul
tan of Turkey. Madame L applied to M.
Kossuth, butuot being known to him personally,
and the Austrian General having set so high a
price on the capture of his wife, he at first re
garded her in the light of an Austrian spy.
Having however, soon found her son, who had
followed the Governor into Turkey, he readily
convinced M. Kossuth of the identity of his
mother. Ail the information which M. Kossuth
could give her was, that there was s lady in
Hungary in whose house he believed his wife
wou’d seek a refuge : and if she was not still
there, this iady would most probably know
where she was.
The Governor now furnished Madame L
with a letter to this lady and another with his
own signet ring for his wile, which would be
evidence oi fidelity. It is not here necessary to
follow Modame L on her toilsome jour-
ney. Devoted to the philanthropic work * hich
she had undertaken, she wandered over the san
dy steppea of Hungary until sko succeeded in
reaching the little town in which the lady resid
cd. and delivered to her M. Kossuth’s letter.
This she read, acd immediately burned it, not
daring even to allow it to exist in her p sses
si«>a. This lady informed Madame L that
the wife of Governor Kossuth had left her resi
dence in the guise ot a mendicant, and intend
ed assuming the name of Maria F nj that
•he as to k icn herse.f to be the wid wof a sol
di< r who had fallen in battle, and t! a: if possible,
she would go to the very center of Hungary,
in those vsst pasturelands, where she hoped no
one would seek alter her.
With thisinformatioa, Madame L again
resumed her journey She feigned to be an
aged grandmother, whose grandson was mis
s l ng, and that she was in search vs him. She
made many narrow escapes whi e passing
guards, soldiers, and spies: al length she reach
ed the plains before mentioned She went
from house to house, as if in search of her
grandson, but in reality o find one who would
answer the description given of her poor Mails
F ■—- n. At length, in a cabin, she heard that
name mentioned, and on inquiry who snd what
that person was, learned that ihc w«s the widow
ot a Hungarian soldier who had fallen in battle,
and that she had a child, who was with its grand
parents. They then described her person, but
added that she had suffered so much from ill
ness and grief, that she was greatly changed.
R< fore she came here,” said the speaker, “she
worked for her bread, even when ill; but after
her arrival, she became too much In.lisposed to
labor, on account of which they sent to the
Sisters of Charity for a physician, uho came,
bled and blistered her ; v hen she was able io
go. she had been conveyed to the institution oi
th' Ststcnt where she then was.” Madame
L , feeling that the poor sufferer must be
rone other than the object of her search, ex
pressed a desire to visit her.

much difficulty in procuring access to Matia, and

count of the females occupying the bed, wh le
he slept at the door. 1 hey started early-in the
morning and the “husband” temai cd behind to
learn something more ot the suspicions to which
their conduct had given rise. He again over

In (iiec.ening, whit® the two ladles were Bit
ting together in a miserably cold room, the f»co
of poor Maria so muffled up as to conceal her
features, and induce the belief she was eullcrlni'
from her teeth, both appearing much as persons
in great poverty, overcome by her afflictions
Maria had a nervous attack, and talked and
laughed so loud, that her voice was recognised
by an Austrian officer who happened to be iu the
house. This person sent a servant to ask them
to come into the room, where there was a fire
Madame L inquired the name of ths
good gentleman who had the kindness to invite
them to his room, and when she heard it,
Maria recognised in him a deadly enemy of her
hutband. While they were planning a means of
evading him, the officer himself came into their
apartment Immediately arising, they made an
humble courtesy in so awkward a manner as to
divest him of all suspicion. Madame L -
spoke and thanked him again and again for his
kindness, bat added that such poor creatures as
they, were not fit to go into his room. So soon
as the officer retired Maria had another attack,
which would certainly have be rayed them, had
he been present. Madame L implored her
to bo composed else they would be loot.
Starting again, they were not molested until
in the evening, when they were apprehended and
conducted by two policemen before a magistrate.
There the lorrasr spoke of them as suspicious
characters ; but lhev were not told of what they
were suspected. Whi'c the examination was
going on, Madame L slipped a bank note
into the hand of the superior ot the two police
men. Thia bribe quite changed the aflair; two
men became their friends, excited the pity of the
magistrate in their favor, and thsy were allowed
to depart. Thus they went on from station
to station, until they reached the fr intiers of
Hungary, near the Danube. They entered the
little Saubin and asked permission of the head of
the police to pass over the river to Belgrade.
This was refused, until they said they wished to
go there for a certain medieine for a daughter
who was ill, and that they would leave their
passports as a security. He then gave his con
sent, and they crossed the Danube, and entered
the dominioss of the Sultan of Turkey.
It was night when they entered Belgrade.
They knocked at the door of the Sardinian Con
sul, who had recently been stationed in that
frontier town by his king, whose « hole heart
sympathized in the Hungarian cause, and who
formed a friendly alliance with M. Kossuth for
the freedom of Italy and Hungary. The Consul
had been advised by M Kossuth that two fe
males would seek his protection, but not know
ing them, he inquired what they wished ofjhim 1
Madame L replied, “l odging and bread.”
He invited them in, and Madame L intro-
duced him to Made Kossuth, the lady of the late
Governor of Hungary.
It will readily be conceived that the Consul
could scarcely believe that these two m’serab'e
beings were the persons they represented them
selves to be. Madame Koasuth convinced him
by sh .wing him the signet-ring of her husband.
In his house Madame Ko>suth fell ill, but reccdv
ed every possible kindness from her host. They
learned that all the Hungarians and Poles had
been removed from Widdin to Shumla ; and,
notwithstanding that it was in the midst of a
seiore winter, they decided upon proceeding at
once to the latter place. The Sardinian Consul
applied to the generous and very liberal Prince
of Servia, in whose principality Belgrade is, for
his assistance in behalf of the ladles, and in the
most hospitable and feat less manner he provided
them with his own carriage and four horses,
and an escort; and in this way they started
through the snow for bhumla. Their journey
was wi'hout any apprehension of danger, for the
British Consul-General at Belgrade, Mr. F ,
had provided tte party with a pass; ortas Brit
ish subjects, under the assumed names of Mr.
Mrs. and Mias Bloomfield ; yet the severity of
the weather was such that Madame Kossuth,
in theill state of her health, suffered very much.
Often the snow was as deep as the breast of the
horses, and not nnfrequently four oxen had to
be attached to the carriage In their places. A
journey, which in summer would have requir
ed but a few days, now wa< made in twenty
eight
On the twenty-eighth day a courier was sent
in advance of them, to apprise Governor Kossuth
of their approach. He was ill; and. moreover,
on account of the many plans ot the Austrians
to assassinate hint, the Sultan's authorities could
not allow him to leave Shumla, and go to meet
his wife. The news of he: deliverance, and her
i approach, occasioned the liveliest satisfaction to
■ all the refugees ; and the Hungarians and Port s
I went as far as the gates of the city to meet this
i heroic martyr of the cause of Hungary. It was
night when thecarriage neared the city-, and as
it entered the gates, she found the streets light
ed up with hundrcdsol lights, green, while, and
red, ths colours of the Hungarian flag, and was
’ welcomed with the most friendly shouts Irom
' the whole body of the refugees.
i When Madame Kossuth descended from her
I carriage, she found herself in the presence of
r her husband, who had risen from his bed of
I illneis to receive the poor “ Maria F ”
, of the plains of Hungary. In piece of receiving
, Iler in his arms. M. Kossuth, overcome by feel
ings of admiration fur the sutlerings which his
\ wile had undergone, and by gtatitutde lor 'er
devotion to the cause of her country, threw him
self at her feet and kissed them. She endeav
oured to speak and offer hsr husband consolation
f and tranquily, while her own poor feeble heart
, was ready to bunt with emotion. Her voice
failed her, and, amid the reiterated shouts of the
Hungarians and Poles, this heroic woman waa
carried to her husband’s apartments.
In March of the past year, iomc seventy per
lons—the chclf of the Hungarian refugees,
among whom were also several Poles—were
conveyed in one of the steamers of the Sultan
Turkey to tho place designated for Ihelr fu
ture residence in Asia Minor. From S'humla
they travelled by land to Varna, on the Blsck
Sea ; from thence they were taken in the steam
er to Ghemilk, in the Gulf of Mndanich, is the
sea of Marmora, without being allowed to stop
at Constantinople. They crossed from that
place to Brojsa, at thefuot of Mount Olympus ;
and, after a short delay there, agitated by hopes
and fears, they continued on to Kutayich, where
thev al! still are. Madame Kossuth is with her
husband, and greatly through the labours of
Madame I. -■■■-, who undertook another jour
ney into Hungary for this purpose, she now also
hasher children with her. Among the individ
uals who persist in remaining at KutavKh with
the Ex-Governor of Hungary and his lady, are
Madame L —and the relative who, during
the dangerous wanderings in Hungary, figured
as her husband. Many of the refugees are hut
ill provided for. The amount which the Turkish
Government allows M • Kossuth for his subsist
ence is insufficient or the support of so many
persons It is a well known fact that the du ra
tion of the detension of M Kossuth depends
wholly upon the Sultan, whose protection was
so generously and so effectively granted to the
refugees. It is also known that the Sultan hus
refused to detain him for a longer period than
one year, and that this period ends within the
month of May of the present year. To detain
him beyond that period will be to assume a re
ponsil i'ity in the eyes of the world which will
weigh heavily upon the character of the Saltan,
who has, thus far, possessed the sympathy and
the admiration of all well thinking men on both
sidesuf the Atlantic. We would invoke that
generous prince to carry out what be had so
successfully begun ; and to permit Kossuth and
his unfortunate companions to seek a home in
the distant New World, w here they cannot, even
should they desire it, which we disbelieve, dis
turb the tranquility of Austria, and where as
sassins can never molest them. In the United
States they will all find a hearty welcome ; *nd
in the paths at private life each will find that
aymathy and assistance to w hich their patriot
ism and their sufferings so strongly entitle them.
Arrbst of Mr Thrasher at Havawa
Advices from Havana to the 19 h iast. brought
bv the Empire City at New Orhans on the
22 nd, states that Mr. Thrasher, late editor of
the Faro Industrial, the American who admin
istered »o the wants of the Cuban prisoners,
was arrested at Havana on tt>e 15 b, on sotue
unknown sbarge. His papers were seized:
and ns was nai allowed to communicate with
his friends. He was not committed to prison,
but confined to his own residence and closely
watched ty the Commissary of Police. This
arrsst of Mr. Thra-her prokably grew out of
an affair noted as follows •
In ’eply to a letter of Sir. Thrashe* 1 , denjing
all knowledge of the pretended declaration ol
independence issued tn the naxe of the peo
ple of Cuba, the New Orleans Della of a fate
date says:
“Mr. Thrasher, in a card in the Cresen;.

pendence of Puerto Principe, published in the
Delta. There is some mistake id this matter
it was certainly handed to us bv a gentleman,
whu assured us it was from Mr. Thrasher,
with t-e request to have it translated and pub
lished. That gentleman is now absent irom
the city, and we ehaU have to wail bis return
to hear bis explanation o( ix.”
If it had been '.rue that this declaration was
forwarded to New Or leans by Mr. Thrasher,
we can imagine uodiiog mure impolitic than
to expose him to the veDgear.ee of thu Spanish
government. If the charge es the Delta esn
be substantiated. Mr. Th asher will answer
for it with his life perhaps. It has already ex*
posed h.m to suspicion and annoyance

Savannah News, of Monday, from Count
de Pozos Dulces, at Havana, tn regard to a
request made of him by Gen. Lopes, his broth
in-law, in h:s laiast mi merits,which does honor
to the fai en chief. The letter says:

To the Public.
Own brief connection with the Columns of
this paper has terminated. At some sacrifice
of personal ease and comfort, we have endeav
ed, so far as we could, to aid the can re of the
Union party in Georgia. We trust that our
gratification at its triumph has been higher and
purer than that of a mere partisan. With a
hearty “Godspeed” to the cause, of whose
ultimate and national success we hope the re
cent election in Pennsylvania is an omen and
a precursor, we taka our leave of our readers.
Samuel Barxbtt.
Ws doubt not that our readers, equally
with ourselves, will regret the termination of
Mr. Barsktt’s connection with this journal,
for during his brief career as A.sociate Editor,
he contributed largely to the r entertainment
and instruction, in the elucidation of tho great
principles involved in the lata canvass; which
he discussed with marked ability, and a point,
force and directness, not only peculiarly hia
own, but rarely equalled. We part with him
with unfeigned ret ret, and should have been
much pleased if his connection could have
been prolonged much beyond the period origi.
nally contemplated in his engagement.
In conclusion, it may nit be improper to
assure our readers and friends, thousands of
whom have never faltered in their cordial sup
port of our journal, that our highest efforts
•hall, as heretofore, be xealously directed to
render it worthy their continued confidence,
and equally useful in the promulgation of
sound, conservative political nrinciples, as it
has always been prominent, if not the most
prominent and efficient, in the developement
of the resources of our own, our native
Georgia.
Comments Extraordinary.
Th a Constitutionnlut !r Republic, of the
10th inat., io commenting upon the defeat of
the Southern Rights parry in Georgia, uses
language, which we duu t not, has excited
the astonishment of its readers of all political
part'os. The startling assertions and insinu
ation'made in that article will awaken many
minds to tbc character of that devotion to
Sou.hern Rights, possessed by many who
glory in the name, ar d arouse the indignation
of thousands of true sons of the South who
possess no slaves, but would hazard their lives
in defence of ,he institution of slavery.
The extraordinary and startling assertion is
made by the editor that there exists in Geor
gia "a very considerable anti slavery party ”
This is not a hasty statement made in bis wrath,
and the mere effervescence of disappointment
at the result of the election. The election o
Mr. Cobs by a majority of 18,000 votes
(about one fifth of the entire number cf votes,
polled) is coolly cited as furnishing "decisivs
evidemt” of the existence of such a party.”
The extent and power of that element (the
“anti-slavery party’ in nur midst) wo believe,
says, lhe Constitutionalist R Republic, “has
been generally underrated. We have never
fallen into that error, arid therefore, giving it
dua consideration, were prepared to see Mr.
Cobb triumphing hy its aid over the Southern
Kights cause and the principles of State
sovereignty."
This is a most deliberate accusation of a
very large number of lhe citizens of Georgia.
It is made as an accusation founded on “de
cisive evidence,” and merely confirmatory cf
the previous views of the editor upon the
extent and power of that an.i slavery element
in Georgia, which by others was generally un
derrated.
The extraordinary a-sartion thus deliberate,
ly put forth, is supported by an argument
which does no less injustice to thousands of
the good citizens of Georgia. The cause of
Mr. Cota's triumphant election is not distantly
hinted at. but plainly attributed to "lhe jeal
ousies of the poor, who owned no slaves,
against the rich slaveholder.”
“ The interests of slavery on tho one side end lhe
"OLcaioua Umiom'* on the-tlrer, tbouvh the Union
was in fact in no da, ger, have been artfully arrayed
before the eyre oi lhe inasses -uho own no slaves,

peace and pto-psriiy. H hen it is ccnsidered that
out of One Mundreei ’thousand voters in Georgia,
there are but about 'J'uenty 'lltowiand slavehold
ers, the result will create less eurprimc.”
We aro at a Io e to conceive of the motive
which could have led to these insinuations.
Au indefinite number—certainly large, for lhe
tnajorityof Mr. Coss is large—of lhe voters
of Georgio, embraced within lhe number of
lhe Union men who are not slavehol <ets, are
charged with being elements of an anti slavery
party. To show lhe groundwork in fact of
the charge, we may mention that of lhe 30
Counties containing lhe largest slave papula
lion in Georgia, 35 gave majorities to Mr.
Coss. Is not this comment enough on the
justice of lhe charge I
But is there tn reality any disloyalty to our
own institutions in that large class of our
population who own no slaves ! Far, far
from it. When there is such disloyally, then
is slavery indeed a ‘'doomed institulian.”
The assertion mat such disloyalty exists, does
more to strengthen the hands,aod enliven the
hopes of the abolitionists, than all the aid they
might hope to obtain outside of our own
limits. The entire prevalence of the “higher
law" at the North the abolition of the Consti
tution, tho coalition of Christendom in a
crusade against elav ery, would give lees cheer
to their hearts, than the truth so confidently
proclaimed by lhe Constitutionalist if Repub
lie.
Nor id it has true that the non-slaveholders
in Georgia have a deep, actual and abiding
intereat in upholding the institution of s’avefy,
ban (hat they feel awake to that interest
Whether they own slaves or not, all of their
feelincs and sympathies are with the South,
and their interest too, as ind.asolubly connec
ted with it as those of slaveholders themselves.
Have they no interest in the horrors which
abolitionism would introduce into their own
families T If the South be indeed endangered
by the prospect of insurrection, have they do
.nterest in that T If slavery be restrained and
cramped within two narrow’ limits, do they
acd theirs escape its convulsions I Do not
most of them anticipate the holding of slaves
as their own proper y, as the consummation of
their hopes of prosperity ? Is not the pros
perity of the 8ou»i, their prosperity its adver
sity, their adversity t
Away with the idea that the interests of
s’avehotders and non-s'aveholders in th_> South
are not identical. They are so in fact, and in
the feeling of alidades. The assertion of the
Ccastitutwnahst, that the disproportion tn the
numbers of slaveholders and non-sfaveholders.
in Georgia, furnishes a consideration which
wjlldiiniciish surprize at Mr. Cobb's election,
involves the assertion .hat there is a felt ddfe
rente in interest between tnem. We suppose
th® extraordinary assertion will be backed by
do pap ror papers in Georgia. Convince
the abolition party of this, and their zeal will
be renewed by hope. u The Hon. Wa. H
Skward will plume himself” upon this cew
and more efficient mode of attack upon slave
ry. If ths editorial of ike C onstitutionaiist Ar

•• A serg consist crab te anti port] in
our midst In the heart of Georgia, oce
of the loading Southern B'ates ■ ■. A
divided interest, or. what is much the same,
an interest, whether divided or identica', Jut
to be divided. Tn.s also in Georgia—in the
very midst of slavery.
Give there two facts—these mighty weapons
—:o abolition, and rhe flame will not burn
down for wart of fuel. A licing hope, a grea
practical held of operation, a cheering expec
tation of success, will have become its own.
Proclaim to it next, that Georgia bolds the
doctrine of consolidation that the elect cn of
Mr. Cobb is the triumph of ccneoiidauoc,
(which Gecrgi*. dues cox bold, nor the election
of Mr. Ceas prove) and then remove all
barriers from their path, and you will have
completed ail the work for abolition which the
Constitutional:**, has wrought for it. The aid and ’
comfuri it needs, wilt have ben furnished, :
and it» hea*t made gl.-d.
F ar be it from u» to a>d m producing such a
convic ion in such a quarter. Were raven
T rue, we should at least, in melancholy sikncc
regard the ruin we could not avert. We
should not call the attention of our foes to our
weak points, ard invite aggres ion by showing
the certainty of its success. Wo should not
cry out, "our barriers are all beaten down,
come, and take us.”
But the charge is no less unfounded than
shocking. In no such attitude as this does
Georgia stand. The fact before referred to —
that 23 of the 30 largest slavehoiding Couniiei
in the State, gave majorities for Mr. Cess
shows in whoso hands the slaveholding por
tions of the people considered their inslitu
tions safett. The hearty co-operation of those
who hold no slaves, shows whether there is a
division of interes', in fact, or feeling. Nor
do we charge on those who voted for Gov.
McDonald, any di.-loyalty to slavery. We
believe the mssstx of the people of Georgia,
of both parties , are and wete unitedin their
object, though divide . in the means of obtain
ing it. H /ien titv are divided in their attach
ment to their own institution, it cannot with
stand the assaults of its enemies. Slavery is
indeed a "d mined institution” when an anti
slavery party exists in the heart of its territory.
But no such party exists. The Union party
of Georgia has shown its relation to the insti
tution of slavery in its resolutions. On these
it triumphed. The result of the triumph is
not to show a division in Georgia on the end
to bo accomplished, the protection of Southern
Rights, but to show extraordinary unanimity
on tho means of pursuing those rights. It
proelauia to all men of all parties at the North
the neces.i'y of the purgation of old parties.
It proclaims a very different view from ag
gression. It is the voice cf warning, given not
in bravado, but still in earnest.
Some of the leal sons of Georgia proclaim
ed her DxoxADATtoN in their Convention of
J!ay last They now proclaim her division
against herself, what they esteem her weak
points, and join in the croakings of the Se
wards of the North. Slavery it ilrmger than
He Union, for all that, if for no other reason,
because it can only be reached bytramplirg
upon tho Constitution, which is the bond of the
Union.
“ Cc-operatlon—lts I-rospesis."
" I.el us continue io “enlighten the public mind,
rouse the p tblic feeling, excite tho public shs me,”
and the South will be unitel and a Southern Con
federacy formed. There is a strong Southern rights
party in rhe Slates of Alabama, Mississippi, Geor
gia an 1 North Carolina. This party is rapidly on
the incresse, and will, we believe, in time prevail.
The union cf the South will not be effected inn
month, nor perhaps a year, yet, we are encouraged
when we remember (bat our fore-fetters were en
gaged in agitating and aiKiissing the wroags they
had received Irom tbc mother country lor ten years
before the colonies were united in resisting those
wrongs. Let tra then persevere, and let not “delay
create despa-r.” As for ourselves we have no fears
of fiilure—the clouds which have for a time some
what obscured our political horizon are being dis
persed. Our prospects now Hr co-operation are
brighter than they have ever bees. Separate se
ceasion, ira mot bitter enemy, will soon be dead,
"the day of co-operation has just dawned ”
Tat above extract is the c-ocluaion of an
editorial iu lhe ‘'Southern Right’s Aevoeite,” a
co operation journal, published at Anderson,
South Carolina.
The idea of forming a Southern Confede
racy for the past acts of the General Govern
merit, the Advocate will find, when it has tried
a month, a year, or even ten years, as utopian
and fruitless as separate State secession, which
it has so zealously opposed. The true policy
of the whole South is to take position on the
Georgia Platform, and when that ia disturbed
by the General Government, co operation
will be certain and easy ; and the fact that the
ent re Sou h occupies it, will be a sure and
safe guarantee against its disturbance. Wc,
therefore, in all sincerity commend the sug
geition to the “Advocate’’ in common with the
entire co-operation party of South Carolina,
and invoke them to persevere in "enlightening
the public mind” of that State in reference to
the Compromise measures, the true interests
of the State, the great prosperity her people
enjoy in the Union, and lhe blessings and
benefits lhe Union confers upen eaeh and all
its members and their tit zens. To this the
press of that State generally have devoted
little atten ion, and have sought rather, to
alienate the affections of the people from the
Government of their fathers, than to excite the
public sympathies in ,ita behalf. They have
taught that it was lhe most "cor-upt and tyran
nical Government in lhe world,” iu the face
of the fact that ita citizona, from one extreme
to the other, are enjoying a higher degree of
prosperity and have their property and liber
ties bet'er protected than aoy people on the
face of lhe globe.

ished cars, just turned out of the Georgia
Railroad shep, that we ever looked at. A I its
timbers are of Georgia growth. The seats
aro made of Walnut, and look nearly, or quite
as well as those made of Mahogany. Ou one
side is a beautiful view of the City Hall cf
Angusta, and of the Stone Mountain as you
pass it on the Georgia Railroad; and on the
other a fine northern view of the same Moun
tain, and a beautiful view of ths Macon Female
College. Tho painting is executed in the
finest style. The car will seat seventy-six

SFARTANIUKe ABB UxtOß RAILROAD. —Wo
have recently bad some interesting conversa
tion with an intelligent eitisenof Spsranburg,
in reference to the prospecs of this enterprize,
writ ch we consider cute the most promts n
has latelf been siartew in the State. Il’ is
now in away that promises success. The
con pany is fully organized, under the Presi
dency of the Hon. Gabri 1 Cannon, Senator
for Spartanburg, a d with an active and effi
cient board of Directors, who are sparing no
labor to comp ete the capital necesiary to the
construction of the Road. About four hun
deed thousand dollars, ii eluding the Sta e
subscription, hrs been pledged to lhe enter
prise, and only one hundred thousand is want
ing to complete the necessary capital.
Several propositions, we learn, are before
the Board, as that part of the route which is
toeonit.et this road with lhe lower Railroads
of the Slate. The several surveys made by
order of the Direction, have been reported by
lhe Engineers as highly favorable. To units
with tho Charlotte road at Cornwell, eight
miles below Chester, C. H., will be about C 2
mi es; to unite with the Greenv lie mad at Al
s'.on, on the Eas'ern side of Bread R ver, will
be about sixty eight miles. The people of
Neu berry are a'so very desirous of a junction
at heir town. The Board have a meeting at
Glenn Springe tc-day, and will take in o con
sideration lhe comparative advantages of alt
these routes. We think the first traced has a
very decided superiority over the others in d -
rectnem of communication, not only with
Spartanburg, but still mnre with largo and fer
life districts of North Carolina.
In elligent gentlemen who have travelled
somewhat extensively in the upper parts cf
'his S ate, and in Georgia, North Carolina and
Tennessee, have expressed their opinions
warmly iu favor of this road, and lhe betel
that an ioveatmsnt io its s’.oek will prevs as

night we had a thunder shower sufficient to
lay the du*t and cool the atmosphere and quite
acceptable after two months of dry weather.
Daring the rain, the stable of Mr. Smith Brid

was struck with lightning, a fine mare killed
and the stable set on fire by the fla»h, and
entirely consumed, together with some 10,-
00 * bundles of fodder, and a small quantity
of corn. Mr. Bradley s loss is near SSOO.
The fire burned so fiercely that it lit up our

over it was not more bratum fulmso, or empty

nona about the city. The telegraph oftee was
lighted up in a manner, more brilliant than
agreeable, though no particu.ar mis hies was
done. The rrsidence of A J. Drowning, Esq.
in Pitt, near Beaufain street, was (truck, aad
considerably injured. The circumstances are
somewhat cunors. The family were, at the
time, at Church.
The lightning seems e have on'er.d through
a glass door, opening on the piazza, of the

bathing room. The inward door, a panelled
oa., >• well as tke plastering near it, were
very much (battered—the door being lorn
from :ta hinges, and the lower portion ofil
knoek-d to pieeea. Beyond this no traces cf

A Horsk without Hair !—An extraordinary
phenomenon, in the way of “horse flesh,” was
brought tn town yesterday afternoon by the
steamer Gordon. It is a mare, captured on
the plains of Venezuela by a party of American
hunters, headed by the v ell known traveller,
Juan Persy, and Capt. Hall. She is 15| hands
high, of great beauty and symmetry, and with
out one par.icle of hair on any part of the
body. The skin resembles India rubber, and
is as soft almost as velvet.
The owner of this singular animal is now on
bis way to Macon, where he intends to exhibit
her at the approaching Fair From Macon he
will return to this place, when those of oar
peop'e who are carious in such things wi.l have
an opportunity to see her. She will spend the

return to the North, from whence he brought
her, io her present hairless condition.—Sen.

army formerly besieging Montevideo, refused
to march under Geti. Oribe, who bad gone

The Magnolia atd A. II Howland, reported
no oil, nre in port; and instead of six hundred,
therj ere but one hundred and forty-three
vessels upon the coast this season.”
A letter from C. W. Rexford, dated San
Francisco, Sept. I 5 h, says-•
44 1 called on the captam of the schooner
Curlew, which spoke the ship John Weils,
who partially corroborated the reports in our

points. He said the male of the John Wells,
boarded him and repored the Araroatha, of
New London, to be lost; the Henry Thomp
son, of New London, also lost; the Arabella
New Bedford; America and Neptuna, of
New Bedford, ditto—(another account made
it U N 2 ptuue,” of New London, no oil up to
A'ig. Ist.)
The Mary Mitchell, of San Francisco, lost.
The captain states that the report of the loss
of the mate of the Magnolia is incorrect, a* i»
the report tha‘ the A. H. Howland h dno oil
op to August Ist}
Ha also re ported that the ship —, Rey
naid, oT New Bedford (probably the China)
whs fnll and bound for home, having taken
1 500 barrels out of the wreck of a French
whaler. He further says that the John We Is
was not badly damaged, that she only lost her
fore foot, and some sheathing an 1 copper off
her bows The ma eof the J. W. did not
say that fifty or sixty more whalers would be
lost, but that ho could name mere than fif.y
jhips which had abandoned the ground on ac
count of heavy weather an I ice.
Th© Mary Mitchell was worth $20,000 and

The letter reports that seme cf the whale

CHANGE AND THE CHANGELESS.
The eye that sparkles with a flish cf mirth,
is quenched ere long in swelling streams of sorrow ;
Tears flood the source where laughter had its birth ;
To-day we smile—we nek in woe to tuerrow.
* The trait? nnd lineaments we hMd to dear,
| Harden and sullen n a marble slumber ;
We look our last upon the funeral gear,
And add one sleeper to a countless number.
But ]ove is changeless in the changeless soul,
Tuough born on ear'.h, and reared in homes that
perish ;
Buoyed on the wings of ages as they roll,
It clings to memories it was wont to cherish.
Amidst the glories of yon radiant skies,
Transplanted thither from its mortal d veiling,
It dreams of those fcr whom in fleshly guise,
With tenderest thoughts its faithful breast was
swelling.
Oh ! fondly nurture in thv heart of hearts,
The precious whose produce blossoms ever ;
And when tha spirit from the body pat is,
Life’s sasred ties o en death will fail to sever.
The St. Louis Repulican of the 12th inst.
contains the following extract from a private
Utter from London to a gentleman in that city:
Some of the tricks of the swell mob have
been curious—one thus dressed and looking like
a gentleman, pretended to find a bug on a lady’s
dress, begging her to allow him to kill a noisome
insect; and she saw him take It off. She
thanked him warn ly and ofi he went. Fortu
nately she immediately perceived she had lost a
valuable bracelet. She suspected ncr friend—
went to a policemen andto'd what had passed.
He said, are you sure you would know thu man ?
She saH she was certain she wou:d. Then po
and stand by that door till I come to you. She
did so—and the policeman soon joined her. Ho
had by telegraph had every door shut but the one
they were at--‘hey had not waite! long, when
the lily said that’s the man. The person was
taken into custody searched and on him was
found a smwll box full of bugs end the lady’s
bracelet. Was not tha’ a clear trick ?
