March Horticulture.
The present indications ure, that this will be a great
fruit year. The trees are not only loaded with bud uud
blossom, but by the failure of the crop lust season,
millions of insects were destroyed. These who have
uot ulready grubbed around their peacli roots, and
tukeu out that villainous flat-head worm, should loose
no time in doing so. Fruit trees that are getting
mossy, and look as if premature old age had taken
them, should be washed with soft couutry soap. The
good efTects will be ulmost immediately perceptible.
All transplanting not already done, should be done
immediately. Strawberry beds should be worked uud
kepi dean. Most vegetable seeds muy lie planted.
Tender vegetables, such as beans, squashes, cucum
bers, egg-plant, etc., must have some protection from
frost, or cold nights. Seeds that are slow of germinat
ing it is well to soak. Gardens thut have not already
been highly mnuured, may now have a top dressing of
ashes, soap-suds, o:c., these act us fertilizers without
burning. Onion beds may now la* stirred with the
hoe ; seed onions may yet be put in the ground ; cab
bages oud lettuce may bo transplanted this mouth ;
spinach should be thiuued out and worked ; English
peas should be well worked and bushed, and in work
ing the |>ea, be careful and shade the ground around
the roots as much as possible. The pea slunds a poor
chunce in this climate, with late frosts ami burning
suns, the pod is seldom moro than half perfected, but
if the roots cun be protected from the direct influence
of the sun, the vines will yield a third longer, and the
quality of the pea much improved ; should the season
prove dry, the best watering put is through the handle
of the hue, the drier the season the more often should
the ground be stirred. Where fruit trees ore over
loaded with setting fruit, much of it should lie thinned
out, leaving the fairest ami best to ripen. Too thick
planting is more destructive to garden vegetables than
ull the drought. Many plant thick, intending to thin
out, but when the young plants look so green nnd
fresh, they can not bear to pull them up and throw
them away, therefore they are sulFered to remain, and
a stunted growth of inferior quality is tho consequence.
Horticulture.
The communication of our fair correspondent, found
below, will be highly ucceptalilo to those who are en
deavoring to cultivate that must beautiful plant, the
Azalia. This is the information that tho Southern
florist wants, all can read Loudon or Buist, and yet
few can succeed well with the Azalia South. There
are other plants in the same category, which to suc
ceed with, we must have the Georgia “ modus ope-
randi.” Muy we uot hope to hour again, and ofteu»
from one so eminently qualified hy experience, refined
taste, judgment, and good sense ? If tho fair daugh
ters of Eve come up to the rescue, surely flora may
udd new dyes to her banners, and gaily throw them to
the breeze :—
March 2, 1850.
Mr. Peabody :—To-day my Azalias are blooming so
brightly, 1 am forced to remember the promise I made
you, several weeks since. 1 believe there nre few ex-
otic« more admired than the Chinese Azalia, particular
ly Plionecia.'the most fragrant, and one of the most
Iteautiful; not withstanding, very few persons have them
because of their great liability to disease ami death hi
this climate. I have been trying to raise them for a
number of years, ami have lost a great ninny, before 1
learned the necessity of keeping them from the mid-day
sun. I now ulways set them, when taken from the
green-house, on the shady side of the house, where they
can have only the morning and evening sun during the
whole of the summer. I have sometimes act them under
the shade of trees, but it is not the host situation, altho’
denfledly preferable to the unobstructed sunshine.
They are often destroyed hy a very minute insect
which feeds on the under side of the leaves, il is scarce
ly (terceptihle to the unaided eye, but is very conspicu
ous when exninined with a small magnifying glass. I
have found that washing the plants thoroughly, with
oil soap destroys them. This should lie dune every
spring ami fail, and if the plants look unhealthy, ofteucr.
They must lie carefully defended from salt. 1 hav
several times lost plants from saltwater having been
put on them from carelessness or mistake.
Il is necessary to have the Pots every week drained,
yet they can not bear to lie left very dry. The hooks
direct tbe sod for all Azalias, to he composed of peat
and leaf niutild, with a little sand, hut as I have
known where to obtain peat, I usually had to use the
surface mould from a piece of woodland, taken w ith ns
much decayed leaves as possible, this I think does very
well,our native varieties grow in it. It is very easy to
raise them from etitlim'S placed under glass, about the
first of June, hut only shoots of the preceding spring
will grow in this way. The plant* are usually ho small
a* to take two or three years to make them large enough
to bhioin prettily. A larger branch may be layered, and
if fixed firmly in the soil early in the spring, will take
good root in one year, and bloom well the next spring.
It is always necessary to scrape ofT the hark from the
under-side of the layers, before they are pre sed down.
I do not recollect any thing else in relation to them, that
is needful to perfect success in raising and keeping them.
After they get old, they are very hardy, hut they hud so
early the flowers are almost always injured hy the cold—
otherwise, they would not require to lie kept in the
house at all. Very respectfully, M.
Agricultural Bureau.
During the lute session of the Alalunna Legislature,
a bill wus introduced, instructing the delegation in
Congress to vote for au Agricultural Bureau at Wash
ington. The bill pussed both branches of the Legis
lature, and ouly lacked tho Governor’s signature to
have become the law of Alubama; but ere the Gov
ernor had u chance to sign it, the mighty patriotism
of Agricultural Alabama was aroused, the bill was
reconsidered, and lost. What a lucky escape the Ala
bamians have had, from a department being fastened
ou the goverumeut, which would have shed the bale
ful light of Agricultural improvement into the dark
est uud most remote corners of the Union. Besides,
what business has Cougress tedo any thing to increase
the prosperity of the whole country ? Cougress was
established for political purfioses, let them mind their
own business, aud not be dabling iu such unconstitu
tional affairs us elevating and protecting the Agricul
tural interest of the country. The agricultural in
terests of the couutry will protect itself! LetCou-
gress protect the mercantile interests, levy duties, build
ligbl-houscA, represent our goverumeut by resident
ministers ut every petty court iu Euro|»e, Asia or
Africu, aud the farmers will stand up to the goveru
meut ; but let Agriculture alone, “ what is everybody’s
busiueas is uobody’s,” therefore we will have none of
your protection If this is not the language of Agri
cultural Alabama, we are uo iuterpreter. A Stale
combining every variety of soil aud climate, rich in
the varied productions of New Englaud, aud of the
tropics. A State whose whole interests are Agricul
tural, and her law-makers refuse to sustain the most
imputlaut public measure ever yet started in the cause
of Amcricau Agriculture. Verily we thought thut
moruing was uigh, but we fear ’lis midnight yet to
the legislators of Alabama.
The Weeping Cypress.— i in- splendid tree
ha >:** on recent'y intro lice J into i.ngltnJ from
me East. Imagine an evergreen wet ping willow,
with compact habit anti close, feathering foliage,
like the little cypress vine, and you will have some
conception of the beauty of this tree as we have
semi it described. If our little plant, of four inches,
which Ims just reached ns, at a cost of some ten
dollars, ever makes itself into a tree, we can per
haps describe it better from personal knowledge.
There can be little doubt, however, that it will
prove one of the greatest acquisitions to our list
of hardy evergreens.
Manure.
The hog-stye is a convenient laboratory for
making manure. While an apartment is covered
and kept dry for a sleeping room, for meals, nnd
to make % flesh, the other is kept open to make
manure. Any kind of earth tnay be thrown into
this receptacle, and its occupants will analyse it
by turning it over and over again ; and if they do
not m ike any chemical discoveries, or extracts
from the mass, they will be sure to saturate it with
new properties. Weeds, and any thing of a veg
etable kind may be thrown iu, which are not more
useful for some other purpose, and they will soon
be deentnnosed. This miscellaneous mass may
be carried to the general manure heap, and be
mixed with it. The pen may be again replenish
ed, and the foregoing process may be repealed
several times in a year, and the wine, are to blame,
or their turners are to blame if they do not make
manure enough to raise UHUllieieney of grain for
their entire support. That is a low bred animal
quapruprd or biped, which does not in some way
earn hi* living.
The hen-roost is worthy of notice, not only for
wh it is nn it, but for what is under it. Hero is
something strong aud valuable for some manufac
turers, and for every farmer. By great dilution it
is a very useful manure. The heu may be made
to earn her corn in some other way than by lay
ing eggs.
The kitchen has an milled and the sink h is out
miscellaneous matters too valuable to he lost.—
Sap suds possess intrinsic value, and if they are
iml he;lev disposed of, they should pass through
the sink; and by nduct be carried a convenient
distance, uml there be made to saturate a pile of
earth prepared for the purpose. 'Phis heap, when
it is tilled with various liquid elements may be
transferred lo llie garden; and it will enrich a
pint of ground large enough to produce all the
culinary vegetables necessary for the family.—
This sink fund will prove as useful to a household
as a sinking fund is to a nation. A thousand
little matters and tilings of vegetable and animal
substance, which are little thought of, may and
ought to ho returned to the soil from whence they
were taken, that nothing be lost.—.V. //. Deni.
Patent Honrs.—A machine lias lately been
invented for making hoops, which bids fair to do
away the necessity of growing hoop poles here
after. Any tough, straight-grained timber will
answer the purpose. It is first sawed into square
strips, the width desired for the hoop; these strips
are next turned round, like a hoe handle, and then
slit through the centre. Each stick thus makes
two half-round hoops. They sire then steamed
and bent. Casks lioojicd with them, present an
extra-neat appearance. The whole work is done
by machinery. Just previous to setting them, it is
necessary to wet them in cold water. A speci
men of these hoops was exhibited at the late
State Agricultural Show at Syracuse.
New York Agriculturist.
^ An Onion from Kosstth’s Garden.—Mr. J.
I' 1 . Hoyle, of this city, has in possession an onion
grown last summer in the garden of the celebrat
ed Hungarian patriot, Kossuth. It was taken
hy a Polish refugee, aud presented to the Rev.
Imdovictis Jerzykowitz, and by him to Mr. Doyle.
It is Hi inches in circumference, and weighs 1 lb.
M oz. It is one of the finest onions we ever
saw; and we are glad to learn from Mr. Doyle,
that lie intends to transplant it next spring, and
grow seed from it.—New York Agriculturist.
Instances of Remarkable Power of Memory.
Pacts compel the Author to believe that the pow
ers of the memory arc bounded only by the extent
of its cultivation. Of the extent of its natural
capabilities, lie has the highest ideas. Indeed, lie
regards its powers as almost infinite. Innumera
ble facts tending to establish this conclusion, lie
has witnessed and experienced. On requesting
the South Boston omnibus drivers to do errands in
Boston, lie observed that they took no memoranda,
yet committed no errors, though they often do a
score of errands at a trip. The second time I
went to the Boston post office, the delivering clerk,
without looking over the letters or papers said
there was none for me. I requested him to look,
which ho did, meanwhile remarking that it was
useless, but found none ; and scores of times, the
moment lie saw me, responded that there was
sometiiing or nothing for me, without my being
able to detect a single mistake. To be able thus
to remember whether or not there was something
for any of those thousands of citizens and stran
gers continually applying, requires an extraordi
narily retentive memory; and yet every reader
might have attained, probably can y. t acquire,one
quite as efficient. Mr. VVortlien, baker, .Manches
ter, N. II., serves three hundred customers, about
two-thirds of whom take more or less every morn
ing ; but lie sets down nothing till he returns home,
tiller having visited one hall of them; yet lie
forgets not a loaf. A mail in Halifax, N. o., can
tell at once tho name and age of every inhabitant
in town,young and old. Alter delivering a lec
ture at Clinton Hall, on the improvement of the
inmnory, one of the audience stated that an ac
quaintance of his, a cattle drover of New York,
who could neither read or write, after having sold
out large droves lo different butchers, kepi their
number, price, aud every thing in his mird, and
could go around months afterwards, even alter
having brought up ami sold out several other
droves, and settle from memory,without ever hav
ing been known to forget any thing. Those who
flunk this too marvellous for belief, will iiud it
abundantly confirmed by converging and collat
eral evidence throughout this work. The Gaboon
merchants accomplish by memory what is still
more extraordinary. The fact is remarkable in
itself, and furnishes a practical proof of the cor
rectness of this doctrine in improving memory
illiindably by its exercise, that all those who can
neither read nor write have astonishing memories
—several hundred per cent, better than others.
Of this fact, any reader can easily find illustra
tive examples. The reason is tlpit such, unable
to record their business transactions, are compell
ed to remember them, and thus strengthen this fac
ulty. Indubitable and universal fact compels the
belief that the human mind is constituted and ca
pacitated, provided the body were kept in the right
state, and this faculty disciplined in tho best man
ner, to recal every event of life.—Fowler on
Memory.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia North Amer
ican, writing from thoToulumne River, in tho Al
ta California, has the following iu regard to the
administration of justice there.
Local justice is at present dispensed by a sort of
magistrate called an alcalde. Some of these func
tionaries, elected by the early population (which
occupied an equidistant position between the abor
igines and our civilized slaves, nude up of runa
way soldiers and sailors,) were given to courses
generally considered inconsistent with gravity of
the judicial character. One at a neighboring
place, adjudged a fellow who was found louse
false weights, to pity a fine of three hundred dol
lars, “ which,” added his honor, “ will be expended
in the purchase of^liquora for tho refreshment of
the Court,” and it actually was.
Texas as a Sugar Country.—A Galve-ton
letter of the 2J inst, says that tho sugar produc
tion of tho State is greatly on the increase, a d
that the quality is very superior. The grain and
color ure unsurpassed for brown sugar, and the
flavor vastly superior. There is also an article
of syrup or cme juice, half boiled into sugar.

THE GRAVE OF POWHATAN
RY nil. G. M. WEST.
The Indian Summer’s gulden tinge
Had gilded Autumn’s mild retreat,
And like a glorious crimson fringe
Surrounded Nature's Country seat.
The Moon had trimm’d her early light,
To guide Earth’s children on their way,
And changed the gloomy shades of Night
To vie with Summer’* lovliest day.
All Nature seem’d in sweet repose,
No war cry, carnage or despair;
No foreign or domestic foes
To mar tho peace or quiet there.
Richmond, Virginia’s huastand pride,
With all her minarets and towers,—
Her rich domains, her landscapes wide,
Her shady walks, her lovely bowers;-—
Virginia, Virgin, virtue—name,
More virtuous than the “ Virgin-Queen,”
Thou rans’t prefer a nobler claim, x
Than wanton royalty, I ween.
A name more pure—more just—more grand ;
More honored—cherished—aye, more dear,
Than Britain’s annals can command—
Thy Washington was cradled here !
Bright “ James’ river” sweetly spread
Her snow-white arms t’ embrace the land;
Or, like n beauteous silver thread,
Braiding n robe with fairy hand.
Invited by such matchless charms
I sought “ Powhatan’s” lonely grave,
Who once, a mighty chief in arms,
Was deem’d the bravest of the brave:—
Three Angels met me near the place,
With radiant smiles, and lieauty rare,
Whose robes, and forms, nnd steps and grace,
Might well with majesty compare.
Yes, guardian angels of the dead ;
The mighty dead reposing near—
As if the spirit which had fled
Might sometimes come nnd meet them here.
Kindly they led ine to the s|Mit;
No inirhle Mausoleum here—
Anil yet the sound, “ forget me not!”
Rose from the rude memento there.
O mighty Prince, of war-like race,
Once powerful, noble, and renown’d—
I* this thy humble resting place,
Where erst thy palaces were found ?
And here, on this rough mouldering stone,
A valiant. Briton’s head waslnid,
When loud was heard a plaintive moan
Proceeding from a Royal tnaid ?
The war-cllib’s raised, the red men wait
The signal of their monarch's nod,
The work of murder to complete,
When, Lo! n messenger from Goi> !—
Tho monarch’s lovely daughter flew,
On wing* of love, ’mid yells and strife,
Her person on tho victim threw,
And “ Pocahontas” saved his life!
“ Strike »»o*. /” she scream’d, in wild despair,
Thu St ranger- white-man shall not die;
Or, if you do, his fate I’ll share
In ileath lieside him 1 will lie !
“ O Royal father, change his doom,
The daughter of thy love implores;
Or else let me |mis* thro’ his tomb,

Logond of the Hider'a Leap.
Shortly oiler the Revolution, a treaty wub con-
eluded at the Oconee Station between our people
and the Churokees. These Indiana, ns was their
wont on such occasions, had collected in great
numbers to watch tiie progress of the treaty, when
the negotiations had nearly Ireen broken off and
hostilities renewed by the occurrence of one of those
scenes of summary revenge so common in those
troubled times.
About noon of the sixth day, after the chiefs
and commissioners had met, a single horseman,
whose long grey hair, falling in loose disorder
about his shoulders, and whose pale haggard face
and bloodshot eyes, combined with his manly aud
utmost youthful form to give him moro the appear-
auce of a phantom knight of old romance titan
that of a being of flesh ami blood, was seen ma
king his way slowly among the Indians, passing
from group to group, and gazing into every coun
tenance with a wild eager look that startled tho
stoutest warriors and scut a chill to the bravest
hearts. At length he paused near a group seated
ou u log drinking rum and smoking tobacco, and
as his glance loll on tho principal figure there,
his frame trembled and his pale face, ht up with
a grim and ghastly smile, and grew it was said,
like tiie aw ini conception of death personilied.—
Rut this continued only for a moment, for in tho
next the keen crack of his rille startled tiie ear,
and a chieftain lay in mortal agonies. Then a
a solitary laugh was heard mingling strangely with
tho groans ol tho dying man, a cruel mocking
laugh, and tho stranger was bounding rapidly
away.
Instantly tho war-whoop rang from hill to hill,
and 1UUD warriors were following his track;onward
they drove, pursuers nnd pursued, when iu the mad
dening chase they drew near the stream which here
with a deep and rapid curront rushes along be
tween precipitous and rocky banks, the yells of
the savages grew louder and more terrible, for now
imagining escape impossible, they began to enjoy
the sweets of anticipated revenge. But the rider
rode fearlessly on, and, dashing boldly up to the
brink, with one bound of his noble steed cleared
the dungerous pass. Then again was heard that
hollow unearthly laugh, aud us the strange tnan
disappeared in the trackless wildorness, one wild
terrific yell of baftlcd rage hurst from the savages,
rung through the woods, echoed in the hollow pass
es of tho mountains, was answered by tho scream
of the eagle and the low bowlings of the startled
wolf, and all was still.
The rider was never heard of more, and men
conjectured ho perished in the chase that day ; in
after times, they told strange talcs of his suffering
life, how its morning arose in the beauty of hope,
and how sorrows obscured its promising day, as
the night shills out the sunbeams from the flowers,
and leaves them alone in the darkness to weep
aud die.
It was told that, far from the settlement he had
years liefore, with his loving wife and infant child,
made his home in a secluded vale; his brother, a
youth of sixteen, was an inmate of his cot. They
were strangers, it was said, in a strange land, and
never left their quiet home—but there, when; the
primroses blossomed aud the wild birds sang, they
lived and loved alone, and hoped side by side to
sleep in peace, when death had made their rest
eternal. Rut iu an evil hour a hand of pitilpss
savages stole into his home, of love, nnd with ruth
less hand luid^R its Kdcn desolate
Tho biollw^Beie surprised while laboring in
the lields, atwWn-ied away captives beyond the
mountains, 'ffley suffered greatly, in their pain
ful march, fr*un the crutdty of a gigantic brave,
t ie I. ader of tho band; ana when having arrived
at his village, Ins followers would have adopted
them as sons aud brothers into tluir families, he
ordered them to bo burnt for the amusement of his
women. The youngest was first to sufTer, and the
elder saw the brave and generous youth t&und
to a slake, round which faggots were heaped, and
slowly roasted to death was compelled to listen
to his moan- and cries, to watch the horrid con
tortions of his consuming body, and to hear the
yells of delight that hurst from tho exulting sava
ges as the human flesh burnt and crackled in tho
flames. It was thought that tho brother who was
compelled to look and to listen suffered more than
lie who writhed in the flames—the desire to save
without the power to move a finger in defence—
tiie horrid necessity of sight and sound racked
with a thousand maddening feelings, so that he
cursed nnd gnashed his teeth, and called on Heav
en fur help; but no help came, and then at eve
ning, when the moiirnfql winds stole from the
melancholy woods, and, lifting tho ashes of the
dead, bore them gently away, the flowing hair
that love had kissed, dark as tho raven’s wing,
straggled loosely and gray as if bleached by the
winter of years; and it was more mournful to
gaze on the living wreck than to think on the fate
of tlie'dead.
He Imd too been condemned to the same fate,
and now ho longed for the hour to come that should
release him from tho horrible recollection of what
he had seen; but in tiie stillness of the night, witen
the Indians slept, his hands were ioosed, and a gen
tle voice, like the voice of woman, whispered tho
name of his wife and child ; and then with mem
ory of home came the desire to live, and he escap
ed into wild woods, naked an unarmed, to find Ills
way to the distant settlement, or to perish of hun
ger uml cold in the trackless forests.
All night long, bleeding anil torn, ho toiled on
his weary way; venemous reptiles hissed beneath
his feet, tho panther glared fiercely at hint as ho
passed close to her lair, often he heard the wild
cat’s scream, or tho rolling of fiery eyes as
as the mountain wolves, gaunt and grim and ter
rible, howled in hunger around him.
For days he wandered ou, gradually growing
weaker and more weak as hope sank in his heart.
At times, overcome hy despair, he would lie down
to die in the lonesome woods; but then the thought
of his happy home would steal on his soul, and the
forms of wife and child would rise up before him,
blessing him with loving smiles and filling with
gladness his broken heart,and again he would wan-
ler on. But, alas! reason directed no longer its
tottering steps, for the fever of hunger and ex
haustion fired his blood and burnt in his brain, and
its strange delusion ho feel could warm kisses on
his cheek, and hear soft voices of home; and they
would breathe into his ear, low, sweet and spirit-
like, tho music of hope and peace. As the sav
age shout would again burst upon him, ho could
see his brother’s face, distorted and black and burnt,
grinning from the flames. At length the shifting
scenes brought him once more lo the threshhold
ol his home ; his gentle wife, with the infant on
her bosom, came as of yore to meet hint; hut as
lie stretched out his arms to clasp them, the forms
of mother and child faded away, and gliding around,
seemed to elude his touch. Noiseless and trackless
and shadow-like they glided before him, beckon
ing him on, until, pointing to the skeleton of a wo
man and child that lay whitening by a ruined wall,
they silently vanished away; and, as the fleeting
phantoms melted into the air, tho wanderer sank
senseless to the earth. How long he lay there
was never known, for there were none by but the
dead to count the passing time.
O, how happy for him had he never awnke, had
he never, awoke to find himself alone in the wide,
wide world, where the winds blow coldly on tho
lonely wretch, and where few gentle words evor
come lo cheer the broken heart.
Thus senseless ho was found by an old hunter
lying among the ruins of his home, and hard by
were tho mouldering bodies of a woman and child.
The dead were buried where they lay, but the
living body the old man conveyed to his own cot,
and there, for many days and nights, he kept a
hopeless watch by the sufferer's couch. Unex-
|K!Ctedly, however, the fever leaving him, he began
lo recover, and by and by went back lo dwell by
the dead one’s grave. But lie was no more the
glad-hearted man of former times, but a crushed
and withered thing; uud like one lost in a strange
land, who wanders hither and thither, and looks
into every face us if expecting each moment to
find the countenance he loved. His reason wan
dered too at times, and then he would talk to shad
ows that none could soe, and answer voices that
none could hear but himself, voices that were borne
uitout after hiin hy the winds; he could hear, too,
low wailing sounds, like the sobs of departed spir
its, rising up from the bosoms of the streams, and
mingling strangely with tho murmurs of the rip
pling waves j and all the shadows that floated on
the darkness, and all the sounds on the winds and
the waves spoke to him in the voice of the dead
crying for vengeance.
Then lie began to go away, and to be gone for
weeks, none knew whither, and to return with the
scalp of an Indian, until at length all of the band
that murdered his fluidly, save its chief, had fallen
to nppeasethe manes of the dead, and that chief
perished as we have told, at the treaty of peace.
This is tho legend of the Rider’s Leap, faithful
ly given us tlm writer received it from one who
was an eye-witness of much that he told, but who
has long since joined his compatriots in tiie grave.

HUNGARY—A Recollection of Vilagos.
'I'hf Tribune translates from tin; AUgemeine Zeitung
an interesting account of tiie surrender of Gorgey by an
eye-witness:
Thu 13th of August, 1849, the day on which
Gorgey, almost immediately after his appointment
as Dictator of Hungary, surrendered his army to
the Russians at Vilagos and brought the Hunga
rian War to a close, remains covered with an im
penetrable veil. The motives hy which Gorgey
was prompted have been subjected to the most va
rious interpretations; from the assertions of the
friends of Kossotlt, “ that the brave General was
seduced to treachery hy Russian gold,” to the re
mark “ that his good genius had brought him back
from high treason to loyalty,” every form of ex
pression has been exhausted on the subject. Gor
gey himself keeps silent, and no certain judgement
can bo formed until after the lapse of time.
The Mencsclt mountain rises at Arad, and
spreads nut almost to Transylvania. On the sum
mit of tho highest peak of this chain, two miles
from Arad, lie the ruins of tho Vilagos fortress,
which have obtained a new celebrity by the catas
trophe of August 13. The Wallacliian village of
Vilagos is situated at the foot of the mountain.
Here 30,000 Hungarian warriors laid down their
arms.
The following account is collected Irom a mem
ber of the Austrian army.
Tho hot sun of August 13th, shone with pierc
ing rays on the parched and silent ranks of the in
surgents, whose army was drawn up in two solid
columns, on each side of the Szullos road. Groups
of officers stood belore their battalions, gloomily
talking to each other. Staff 1 officers iu their splen
did uuiform rode up and down, occasionally speak
ing a word of encouragement to the faint-hearted,
for the usual noisy gaiety so peculiar to the Mag
yars Imd given place to the most painful depres
sion. “Mustit be carried so far with us,” was
the despairing cry that arose on every side. Cur
ses, such as no one can command but a Magyar
in trouble, resounded from the closed ranks.
Wherevor the eye turned, thore was lamenalion
and despair. It seemed like a vast field of death.
Hero were seen the wild fea lures of the “ Prince
of I'rusHia ’’ regiment, soldiers alike fearless in
war and reckless in peace, the consolidated batal-
ion called’ Alexander,’ * Schwarzenburg, 'Franz
Carl,’ ‘ Don Miguel,' 1 Vasa.' Few of those who
had broken their oath to their Hmperor were pres
ent to see the avenging double-headed Eagle. On
the bloody battle-fields of Hungary, on the ahoros
of tho Danupe and the VVaag, most of them bad
found their graves. As the flower of Gorgey’a
army, they were chosen to meet the first shock,
and to fight the hardest battle in all cases. Here,
as in every hotly-contested battle, the two rivals
in bravery, tho “ bosom children,” of Damjanich
and Foldyarg, the third and ninth Honved battal
ions, stood close together. These, the so called
“ Redcaps,” formed the elite of the Honveds, They
understood only one command: “ Elore,” forward,
and their wild battle-cry “ Eljen A Magyar,” which
they cheerily sounded forth in the thick gunpow
der smoko, often produced panic and confusion,
“ Third and ninth battalion Elore,”—this cry was
heard where the deeds of tho most terrific danger,
were to be performed ; a third part, perhaps one-
half, fell; but the paint was carried.
The Hussars leaned on their jaded, skeleton
looking horses, seemed to exchange with them
one last mute word, and to bid them a final fare
well. “ I must leave yon and go on foot like a
dog,” they murmured in the ear of their trusty
companions. The greater part regarded this as a
misfurtuno to break their hearts. They would
prefer exposing themselves to the greatest dangers.
They cast off their laced dolmans in which they
took so much pride, and bursting through the
military shell, tore the saddles from thoir horses,
and rushed off at full gallop, in order to become
uwain what they were before, “ the wild Csikos
(horse-tamer) of the boundless Puszta. Here
was the brave regiment of the Ferdinand Hussars,
with the old war-wolf their Colonel, at their head.
It was he who in the council of war at Vilagos
most strenuously opposed the surrender. When
ho was outvoted, in his rage he threw his heavy
sabre rattling at tiio feet of Gorgey, so that the
hall resounded with the noise. Within the gloomy
walls of Arad he may well expect in sadness the
fearful fate which he anticipated.
At a little one Hide of the main road, a stone
bridge leads over a small mountain stream, which
falling on the wheels of the neighboring mill, los
es itself in the surrounding meadows. The large
yard of this mill was at this moment crowded full
with all sorts of vehicles.
There stood in promiscuous confusion the splen
did four horse chariot of the Minister, and the
worn-out one horse market cart; the large, heavy
baggage wagon, with the light private carriage of
the officers in endless variety. From the tops
which protected against the sun, looked out with
eager curiosity, the fiery eyes of the fair occu
pants. In spite of the strict regulations, threats,
and even punishments, au innumerable crowd of
women of every description followed the Magyar
army, contributing, in no small degree, to the de
moralisation of tiie soldiers. As soon as it came
to a retreat, what confusion did they not occasion ?
Then was there a panic, a shrieking, a flying
about, as if the enomy had nothing to think of but
their beautiful persons. Bom suffered so much
from this grievanco in Transylvania, that he would
often cry out in comic despair, “ I have indeed
commanded a larger army, but never bo many wo-
ten.”
After I had wound nty way along, with a great
deal of trouble, I reached a small straw-roofed
building the only inn in the place.
As soon as I entered I saw the Chief Command
ant and Gorgey, the Hungarian Dictator for the
last 48 hours. He was dressed in his simple, but
romantic costume, which differed very much from
that of the General’s Staff who stood round him.
In a light, brown blouse, with a golden collar, rid
ing boots reaching far above the knee, a round
black hat surmounted with a waving white feath
er, ho was joking with a pretty young girl, into
whose ear lie whispered flattering nonsense. I
was astonished—a few ininntes before the catas
trophe effected by him who decided the fate of
Hungary, surrounded by men whose dark visages
wore the impression of the deepest despair, could
this matt, serenely smiling, be exchanging gallant
ries with a frivolous girl ? Was this a forced
cheerfufness, or the repose of a pure conscience?
Who can decide?
The General Staff floated around him, their
splendor and magnificence recalling the times of
Hunyudy Zriny. Every one was dressed in the
most elegant uniforms as if for a festival. The
sun-burned, youthful, thin figures in short Atlilas
with heavy gold trimmings, hats and waving feath
ers on theirhead, mounted on fiery horses, gallop
ing to and fro, formed a group as warlike as the
fancy of a painter could deseribo.
In the midst of this a general commotion look
place. Gorgey had thrown himself on his horse
and ufter him his whole glittering suite. It was
the last act, which was to conclude the grand dra
ma of the Magyar war. The splendid cavalcade
had placed itself in motion, the bridge unaccus
tomed to such a burden, groaned under the hoofs
of the proudly prancing horses, while the eye fol
lowed the historical procession with astonishment
and dismay.
When Gorgey, after the transactions were doz
ed at Vilagos, went into the midst of the army, and
declared, “ that lie no longer felt it iu his power to
defend the army, but if any was found willing to
ussumo the command he would gladly yield it to
him,” there was but one man ready for the propo
sal. This was a grey-haired Captain of the Huz-
zars, who sprang torwurd, nnd the tears which he
never knew before falling on bis grizzled bean),
cried out, “It was his wish and that of his com
rades to cut their way through, and this must be
the feeling of the whole army.” Gorgey spoke to
him privately and drily remarked “ That it was no
time to joke, aud there were balls enough to crush
any mutiny.”
Ouly a soldier’s heart can comprehend the feel
ing with which a man is parted from his arras.
Many seemed torn in peices in hclples agony, oth
ers wept as they kissed tho cold steel, while a
great number shrieked out with rage to be led
against the enemy, and not lo be subjected to this
disgrace. I saw how officers aud men threw
themselves into each others arms, and sobbing,
bid eaclt other farewell. But other places they raved
against the officers and accused them of selfish
ness. No pen can describe the wo, the despair
which prevailed among the Huzzars. He, who
felt so much at home on Itis horse, was now to bo
dismounted and creep along ou foot like the mean
est “Bake.” Many shot their horses; and they
who would have lost a limb without a groan, sob
bed like children.
During these scenes, Gorgey rode round, proud
and immovable as a marble statute of Mars, and
it was only now and than that his ringing, metal-
ic voice was heard exhorting them to make
haste.
Meanwhile, the twilight shadows began to fall
on the broud fields and heighten the gloom of the
transaction. The poor victims of the war had
thrown themselves on the grass, now wot with the
evening dew; near them were their arms piled in
pyramids, their flag in the centre, as if it were the
;risly skeleton of those battalions, whose ranks
iad shown so much courage and experienced so
many sacrifices.
But their rest was not of long duration. The
Russian escort catno galloping up, and accompa
nied by them, the Magyars were obliged the same
day to start one stage towards Zarand. This it
the “ guard of honor ” J heard called out in their
ranks. The march, under the Russian escort,
from Szollosto Ssrkad lasted no lest than eight
days. Whoever during this time should have ac
cidentally fallen upon the ruins of the Hungarian
army, would have taken it for om of the motley
caravans of the Arabian desert. The aim ponied
down his hottest rays on the sandy plains, over
which moved an endlesa throng of carriagee,
horsemen and foot-travelers, in tho wildest confu
sion. Every moment the procession
when all began to quarrel, curse, scream, and. for
a change, to fisticuff each other. If the roads had
been wider, or if the adjacent fields had afforded a
tolerably convenient path, the maddest spectacle
that can be imm&ginod would have peen exhibited.
Every one who was not assigned to tome special
post was obliged to get on the best way he ooulfi,
and a general race commencing, there waa no
lack of petty miseries and eomio scenes.

Cutting it Vat—or the Parson sad the Oheesss.
Our reverend hero of the hat story, that I did nn
for the Post tho other day, was riding home from a
visit to Newburyport one afternooq,—and being
on the road, where a frieod of his MV. T„ lived, a
staunch old farmer, famous for his fat cheeses and
good living, he gave him a call.
In a short time, tea was ready, and the doctor
was of course cordially invited to sit down at the
bountiful board.
“ I declare” ejaculated the diyine, “ I most say
that this cheese is the nicest I ever ate; why it
will nearly melt in one’s month I”
“Sartain,” returned the dairyman ; “you must
know, doctor, that my wife lets no one go ahead
of her on cheese; she always gets the first premi
um at the cattle-show; I stamp my initials on all
we make, and they bring a cent ar two a pound
more than any others in the'market.”
“ Excuse mo for helping myself to it eo bounti
fully,” said the reverend guest, “it is'so very nice ;
besides, it is quite a luxury to me—such extra
cheese,—we don’t have such at honte; in bet, to
tell you plainly, we havn’t had any of tmv kind
lately.
This brought out the good dairywoman.
“Sartain, replied the farmer,—“give him a good
one—the best you’ve got in the house.”
Soon as the doctor was ready to start; the gen
erous woman selected a nice fat chebee from hor
store-room—fit for a king’s table—tolled It up
nicely in a snick-span clean napkin and banded it
to their hired man to put it in the parsonYeleigh.
“ I’ll take care of it, myself,” said ohr doctor of
theology, taking the rich disc from the mkn, and,
after thanking the good people kindly (hr their
nice present, he bade them goad night, and started
with his prize for his hone and sleigh,- which was
standing by the front gate.
After stowing away hia cheese be unhitched the
animal, and jumped Into the sleighhot he had
scarcely got seated, and the reins adjusted, when
the horse, feeling impatient to be off, gave a sodden
side-jerk towards the road, capsizing the sleigh
spilliing ont the parson, and after him three chees
es, which he htul got at different places that day
besides the one jnst given him, which verged off
in different dlrectionslike rays of rich orange light,
leaving the doctor in the centre of the bate for a
nucleus!
All this came off before a good audience,—the
scene was not lost. A picket guard of children
stood at the gate—the tanner and hia wide were
posted at the front door, and the man servant and
maid servant stood at the window.
As soon as the doctor’s rich earns waa revealed
to the astonished eyes of oar goad dairyman, l.e
sprung forward and seised with his bags paw, tho
cheese marked “S. T.,” clapped it under his arm
—then turning to the parson with a satirical smile,
said—” Doctor, when you are ont of e-h-e-e-s-o,
just come this way, and you ahatl have this!” The
parson waa never known to call fbr it, we believe.
