Turn Second Senatorial District.—It give*
os much pleasure .to bo allowod to say that the
gentleman who has for a few days been before the
public as an "Independent candidate" iu tho
Liberty mud Bryan district, has retired from his
position, and will now "support Mr. Waltuour,
or any other candidate who shall be fairly nomi
nated by the Whigs.” While we can but say
that we think Mr. Varnadob allowed himself to
take a wrong view of his individual rights, we
mutt also say that the hnndsomo manner in
which he now retiree, In our humble opinion, cn-
titles him to the full confidence of the Whigs of
liberty, and wo trust ho may yet have his re
ward. We wish all " Independent candidates"
would follow his example.
0?» Tbo Charleston- Mercury says "tho Savan
nah Republican has gone mad," because we re
buked its interference in the local election which
is toon to come off in Georgia. We ure not sur •
prised at this. So disgustingly vain is the sprig
of chivalry who presides over the columnaof that
sano print, that it is not astonishing be iliould
think every body “has gone mart” who differs
from him. But granting that we are troubled
with "disorderly aberrations," we arc of opinion
thattho Mercury is equally unfortunate. It is
either "nlad" or politically corrupt, as is evident
Cram tho following facts: In the early part of the
last Presidential canvass, it said of Air. Cass that
he waa "all things to ailment and faithful to none—
a vasciUating, time-setving politician—unsound up
on the Abolition question, and an enemy to the
South." The next month it waa advocating his
election and defending him against its own
charges 1 In the second place, he calls upon the
South to destroy the Union, burn up the Consti
tution, and fight it out, if the Wilmot Proviso
should be passedby Congress. Still it defended Mr.
Polk for sanctioning the Proviso, and the South
Carolina delegation and the Democratic members
of Georgia in the House of Representatives for vo
ting for it! Inthethird place, Rcharged Gen. Tay
lor aud Mr. Kino with haviirg perpetrated "aflat
outrage upon the Conslilutiott" by tho promulgation
through Gen. Riley, of a Proclamation, calling
upon Uie people of California to form a Constitu
tion and organise a State government. And In
the next paragraph it wishes them "all success"
In the undertaking, notwithstanding it is "a flat
outrage upon the Constitution," if they will only
carry out the views of the Mercury !
Here we have, without going further, three
“disorderly aberrations"—threo facts which es
tablish the insanity or political corruption of our
strutting cotemporary. There may bo "method
in bis madness,” but may the powers above save
us from such ! But it is ever the case with those
who arc mentally diseased, that they believe all
the rest of tho world is mad, while they alone are
#ane. This tnay be proved any day by a visit to
a lunatic asaylunt or sanctum of the Mercury.
The Recent Removals and Discoveries or
Defalcations.—^Within tholaat few years breach
es of trust have become so alarmingly common,
that both tho Federal and State Governments
bavo been compelled to enact most " biting stat
utes" to punish the crime. Under such laws
nmtiy men have been convicted in the different
States. Tho crime is so base and contempt
ible, that under no circumstances can any exten
uation accompany it, and the miserable wretches
aro " whipped of juatico " without a sigh.—
Since the change in the Administration, three
persons holding promineut offices under tho Gov
eminent have been found defaulters to large
amounts—the Hon. Eli Moore, for $20,090;
Collins of Cincinnati, for $63,000, and De»|by
of Richmond, for $155,000. These tnen huvr
Loco guilty of crimes, rightly considered, infa-
inous—such as will render them incompetent to
testify in a court of law, aud yet, leading Demo
cratic papers talk of tho untarnished honor of
. these defaulting officers. Wc presume this class
of offenders come within the rule of—*
“It la base to filch a purse—daring to embezzle millions."
If three of Mr. Polk's turned out pluccincn have
thus shown tho juatico of their eviction, would it
not be as well for tho books of all to be overhaul
ed? It is only when an officer is removed, that
you aro sure of a faithful account. A teller In
Ncw-Orlcans had been for years enrrying on a
system of petty peculation—It was discovered
only on his removal to a higher office. Then a
rigid scrutiny was exercised, and tho fraud of
tong standing was detected.
However much this scrutiny may be dreaded
and decried by a few, tho people desire it— they
have no persoual partialities to nurse, at the ex
- x pense of the Treasury. They will thank Gen.
\ Taylor for the examination.
A very largo proportion of those removed have
long hold office or supplanted men whoso only
crimo cqnslsted in their, political opinions. Du
ring the four ycaraof the “most corrupt” Adminis
tration ot.J. Q. Adams, thero was ono defaulter
for tho sum of $4,000. During the Immaculate
Admlnislratlon of J. K. Polk, thero have been
Qisoovcrcd thus far threo defaulters, for a sum
exceeding $200,000. After the discovery of tlicso
transgressors in high places, wo say let the re
movals continue, and let us have a settlement of
accounts.

“ O, light not here, sweel bird !”-Old Boko.
Messrs. Editors.—Savannah is certainly a beau
tiful city. In tho day time, whou tho sunlight is
glauciugupon her avenues of trees, and tho green
grass beneath them, and her lofty spires, and up
on the bright eyes of her beautiful women, it pre
sents an enchanting vision. But, ns soon as the
day-light disappears, it becomes as black and
gloomy, as if" all the negroes in Africa had been
collected boro, and then boilod down Into all."
In the language of Byron—
“ The scene is changed, and inch a change, oh Night,
And storm, and darkuess, ye are wondrous strong."
And all this conies from tho want of a few lamps.
All of our citlsens have just cause of complaint,
touching thcao " premises,” but I have piculinr
moons for being iudlgnant. 1 inndo an engage-
mout, on special business, to meet a gentleman
tho other night; and true to iny promise, as soon
as night had wrapped her sablo robe mound the
earth, 1 sallied forth. It was pouring down rain
and the sky was what our negroes call “ black
dark." 1 selected the plank road to puisuo tho
tenor of my way, not only because, with Uw
characteristic conscience of my profession, I de
sired, in all things, to be above board, but also,
because I thought that no other mail would bo
knavo or fool enough to venturo out in such a
storm, and that I should therefore meet with no
impediment. Alas, 1 had not "progressed far,"
(ns they say, down East,) when I ran foul of an
other traveller, (you may leave out ono of tliose
l's, if you belong to the Webster school,) and
wo mutually knocked each other down, and then,
with many sympathetic remarks, picked each
other up. The collision brought the sparks from
my eyes, which gratified ino some, for I always
knew that I had tho fircot genius in my head,
although it was hatd to get at. As soon as
1 could extricate myself from my interesting
friend, 1 left him, muttering ns 1 went:
“ llail we never met, eo kindly,
Hod wo never met so blindly,
Hllndly met, and blindly parted,
We hud ne'er," Ac.
Taking advantage of experience, 1 deserted tho
planks, and took to tho middle of the street, and
then 1 fell over a cow. Somewhat enraged, 1
now sought tho eldc-WMlk, ns 1 knew that our
City Fathers hod required that these should be
paved; but, I soon came to a lot, whoso outer-
prising owuer, iu due obedience to the " powers
that be," had put down the curb-stones, but had
forgotten the pavement, and so I found myself up
to my knees iu a vnlc, (or hollow,) " where the
sweet waters meet." And now you may suppose
I was rather wef, and tolerably riled. It is said,
that there are mouicuts when the * hole of a man 1
life passes in condensed view before him—Ids
faded joys—hU forgotten sorrows. All I can say, is
this was not such a moment to mu. 1 tried to re
peat tho words of Moore
“ bet fate do her worst—there are moment* of Joy,
Bright it reams of U»e pa-t, tliat she rannot destroy,
And which come In tho night time of sorrow and can*.
And bring back the features that Hope used to wear."
But I could not go on. I defy Moore himself,
to get "bright dreams" in the open air,
rainy night in Savannuh; and so I sat down aud
moralised, gaxing ever and anon, on the feeble
ray of an expiring lamp about a mile off, (I be
lieve Uiat is the distance that lamps are set apart
in thisdark plain.) And is this Savannah? said I;
is this the far famed city, rising toeinincnco, and
threatening to rival Halcyondale (50 mile station)
and Charleston? Is this the plnce, whose iron
hands are reached forth to grasp tho commerce
of a dozen States, and whose mammoth steamers
are making the blue sea black with their columns
of steam? And ain I here, in its very heart, in
its most populous portion, at nine o’clock of a
Summer’s night—here, in my own native city,
where I was born, raised aud hope to die; (not
soon;) drenched with water,outwardly and in
wardly, (and with "nothing else,”) and no more
able to find my way than a blind mole?
Messrs. Editors, how I got homo that night, or
whether I gut home at all, is none of your busi
ness, and it is very impertinent in you to ask the
question. Onethiugis certain, that I could not
have been more bewildered and confounded, if I
had been in Monomatapa, or in the caverns of the
vasty deep. _ Nay, I would have been better off in
the latter position, so far os light was concerned,
(and about even in tho water line,) if we may
believe Gray, that
lars, and not for a cent an aero, for which much
is now selling, ns tho cart loads of deeds from tho
State House provo
But 1 font, my dear sister, that at [his session
of the Legislature, you will bo ground to powder,
and our dear old mother Georgia will bo tied
hand and foot, and with her throat cut, givcu
over to South-Carollna.
“O l mty she provo too Hilly."
Your most affectionate sister, although you
have been rsthor snappish of late,

Pay or West Point Cadets.—The late Board
of Visiters at West Point repeat tho recommen
dation of tholr Immediate predecessors, that the
pay of the cadets bo raised from twenty-four to
twenty-eigth dollars per mouth, tho original
amount. With the strictest economy, those who
have no friends at homo to assist them, find they
have not sufficient for tholr support.

ending Sept. 1, were 697} the deaths by cholera,
171. The total deaths for tho week ending Sept.

therefore, a decline of 167 deaths by all diseases,
or 25 per cent; and on cholera n decrease of 77, or
nearly 46 per cent.

ftj- The Sea Serpent waa seen on Wednesday
at Swainpolut.and iiU pursuers gut so near him
as to dart a harpoon at him, but tho thickness oi
his skin prevented it from penetrating! So says
a correspondent of tho Boston Post, and the editor
admits that tho letter was accompanied by a re
sponsible name. 11U suukeship is getting quite
too common; besides, the season at the watering
places is over now.
The HenriTClay.—At New York on Saturday
the men in the employment of Uie insurance
offices succeeded in removing all the water from
the Henry Clay, by means of the steam pump;
wheu it was ascertained that tho fire did uotcoui-

that she will be ccrtaiuly built on agnin.

Very little is doing in tho political circlos of
the capital. Tho city seems to be too much taken
up with listening to Mad. Bianor aud M. Uias,

A statement mndo by tho Trail d'Union In to-
gard to EnglUh mediation In Yucatan, had at
tracted considerable attention. It waa said that
England had offered to mediate between the
whites and the Indians; but tho Mosquito affair
scented to act as s warning, and it was suggested
to tho*Mexicans that the fureo of another Indian
Kingdom might be played off in Yucatan. The
French paper thinks that England may continuo
to add to her Mosquito territory on tho North, and
the Uuitod States absorb the Mexican States, un
til tho two coble in collision somewhere about
Tehuantepec.
The papers speak of disturbances in Mnzatlau,
produced by an American shooting a soldier who
was attempting to arrest him. The pcoplo of tho
town was very much Incensed at the act, and wero
about to lay violent hands on tho American, when
was taken to jail by the civil authorities. Tho
mob begun to cry, "death to the Yankees;" the
Amci leans in the town armed themselves and pre
pared for the attack; but tho police succeddcd
in dispersing tho mob and restoring order aud
quiet.
Overland to California.—'The San Antonio
Yfcraraof August 23, says that Major Barry and
his company havo arrived safely at Sau Francis-
Maj.!!., writes Col. Alsburv of San Antonio
that his men left San Francisco for the mines, and
that he shall follow them in a few days. It is un
derstood that Gapt. Vbach aud his parlyjate yet
in Chihualiun.
Tho Victoria Advocate says several letters have
bucu received by persons in that placo from mem
bers of Maj. Creaner’s company of Californians,
dated Rt Presidio del Norte. They were but one
day without water.
The Victoriacompany discovered Capt.V each's
party, and rescued them from a perilous situation
from thirst. They had been lost in the mountains
aud wore four days without wntor. It is slated
that nil the Indians they met wero vory friendly
and showed no disposition to molest them.
But if there was either gem or ray, (barring (be
mile off lamp, which would l»ave required a bright
light to have enabled you to see it,) in the streets
of Savannah that night, all 1 cau say is, it greeted-
not tny eyes.
Is there no remedy, sirs? Did I not sec a pro
position lately to our City Fathers, from an in
telligent follow citizen to light our town with
gas—gas, made froth chips? (chips from tho "old
blocks,” of which there are plenty in Savannah.)
Did not 1 hear that the proposal bad been sub.
mitted ton Committee? Have I overseen their
report? Oh, Araey will be tho indignation that
will light on the heads of these men, if they reject
tho bright idea. I will guaranty the faithful per
formance, for 1 know tho talent sud enterprise
Of the projector. Why should he not make gas
from chips, or even from rattle-snakes! 1 like
that last Idea, there Is poetry in it. It will have
a striking effect upon our "Northern brethren."
The snakes arc accustomed to strike in life,
u And e’en in tlietr ashes, Uvc their wonted fires !”
But whether from whales or snakes, give us light,

To Savannah t
Dear Sister We know you were born one
hundred and seventeen years ago, and passing
by our sisters nearer to you In age, we know
from authentic record that we wero boru forty-
two years ago, Macon twenty-eight years a go,
and Atlanta about ten years ago. Wc admit,
my dear sister, that for eighty-four yean you
paid from one-half to onc-quartcr of all the tax of
the State. We admit that in the same eighty-four
yeurs $160,000 wa* vested in Ocouco river, prin
cipally near us ; and proportionate sums in other
streams down to Brier Creek in Scrivcn; also
$500,000 to schools and colleges, $200,000 in
public buildiugs, comprising our glory; and also
up to 1949 $3,000,000 had been vested in a Stato
Rail Road, fbenefitling some, but not you) ; and
also $600,000 in a Central Bank, at one time
loaning $3,000,000, very little loaned in your
borders, consequently none vested.
I sincerely wish, iny dear sister, thst you own
ed a Rail-Road from the depot of the Georgia
Rail-Road in Augusta to the Ninety; and had it,
and Uie Central Rail-Road from the ninety, doublu
tracked with tho heaviest U iron all the way to
Savannah. I wish the Canal a ship channel to
Spring Hill, am! all tho shipping from your fine
port, aud all the stealn-boat Companies much

Then would my dear sister have direct impor
tation of more things than salt, dry goods, and
iron and hard-ware.
Then would she export tho agricultural and
mineral products of East Tennessee and Georgia,
as well as their manufactures, and in timoof real
war much freight aud travel that now goes
around tho Capes of Florida would find an outlet
to old father ocean through her fine port.
Then she would have schools, colleges, and uni-
vcrsiUcs, (being healther than Boston, according
to her own book, Uie North American Review for
1848.)
Then tbo Slate Rail-Road would pay to tbo
State of Georgia sufficient revenue to double tier

He referred to aimiiar meetings that hud been

represents that the troops are actively engaged in
scoutiug, and that no Indian depredations had
occurred for some time. He lias established a lino
of posts as for to the north-west as 8nn Antonio,
which will no doubt effectually secure Corpus
Christ! and its vicinity from tnc dnngcrs which
you apprehend. G. W. CRAWFORD,
Secretary of War.
R. J. Walker.—The New-York Evening Post,
of a recent date, says:
“Mr. Walker, while occupying the situation
Secretary of the Treasury, did not scrnplo
make kuown his opinion that it was not for tho
interest of the Southern States that slavery should
be further extended nor to nvow his belief that n
majority of tho people of his own State, Misssis-
sippi, were of the same mind.
To this tho Vicksburg Whig replies:
"We have not a doubt that the Post is correct.
Mr. Walker, will, if he lives, bo on-the Benton
side of the house in tho next contest for the Presi

IiATKST FROM BVROPB.
Washington, Sept. 12—10.15, A M.
Accounts from St. Johns of Tuesday, announce
the arrival of tho Kuropa at Halifax on tho previ
ous evening, at 8 o’clock. Tho E. left Liverpool
on the 1st fust.
The tnnrkcl accounts aro wanting In particu
lars, calculated to show tho real fooling prevail
ing among dealers in Cotton. It is stated that
later advices from India uro favorable, and had s
good effect on commercial transactions.
During tho week previous to tho sailing of tho
Eurupa, thero had been soino fluctuation in the
Cotton market, but on Friday, tho former quota
tions, received by tho Niagara, remained un
changed.
Tho prospects of tho linrvcst continued flatter
ing, and Bread Stuffs had further receded, tho
transactions being only for retail. The Com
market was improving—25 to 26 was quoted for
‘hitc, aud 27s. Gd. to 23 for yellow.
Monoy was abundant, only first class bills can
bo discounted nt 21 per cent. Tho English funds
havo slightly receded, and but little dona in for
eign Stocks. Consols havo fluctuated, finally
settling down nt ninety and three-oighths.

LATE FROM CALIFORNIA
We received tho following despatch last oven
Ing, dated— Washington, Sept. 14.
Tho steamship Empire City arrived at New-
York yesterday, bringing San Francisco dales to
August 2d.
Thoro baa been a riot and fight between tbo
Americans and Chilians, in which thn former
used guns and other weapons, shooting tho Chil
ians, destroying their tents and other property.
Nineteen Americans have boen arrested and thoir
arrest has caused groat discontent.
There have been more discoveries of new gold
mines, and ono inan from Baltimore dug $6,000
worth of gold in one week. •
Properly is advancing; lots which wero bought
threo months sinco for $400, now bring 10 to
$15,000.
Goods aro cheap, except Provisions, which are
advancing.
Tho Empire City briugs six hundred thousand
dollars in gold. The steamer California arrived
at Panama on the 20th ult. with soven hundred
thousand doilnrs in gold on board.
The diggers averago about an ounco of dust or
gold a day.
Santa Fa.—The St. Louis Union has the fol
lowing intelligence from Santa Foby Mr. Mitch-
el, a trader.
A large number of emigrants had assembled nt
Santa Fe before Mr. M. left, many of whom had
given away to gambling, been fleeced of their
Raids, and wero suffering intensely from their
impoverished circumstances. The number of
persons assembled was so great, and the demand
for articles of food so extensive, that tho most ox
oibitant prices were demanded for tho common
necessaries of life—corn was selling at $2,50 pci
bushel.
Col. Collies, the newly appointed collector for
California, who was at Santa Fo with a hundred
men when Mr. Mitchell left, was about stnrting
for California, under tho guidance of tho oxperi
enced Hatches.
The old traders and trappers anticipated tin
heard of suffering, and innumerable dcatlis from
starvation, among the emigrants, in the inoun
tains and in California, this winter. They any
that the emigrants are headstrong, and will not
be counseled nr Influenced by more experienced
persons, and that tiiey uro fast reaping the conse
quenc.es,
The emigrants Imve principally taken three
routes, tho largest hotly by far going the North
ern routes, by way of Fort Laramie. Beyond
this fort, grass aud water aro said to bo very
scarce, and there the greatest amount of suffering
is anticipated. ’Hie middle or old Spanish trail
tho moat direct route from Santa Fo toCalifornia,
and the Southern or Col. Cooke’s route, South of
the Gila, ore being travelled by pretty large
bodies of gold hunters.
Muny of the emigrant* havo determined to slop
and work the iiiiucs iu tho vicinity of Santa'Fe,
and before Mr. Mitchell left, ouo mnu bad suc
ceeded iu sinking a shaft, and for his first day'
labor ho obtuined $116.
Mr. M. Bays the opinion prevalent at Santa Fo
is, that tlicso mines are very rich, and that they
have only been superficially worked by the Mex
icans.
Of tho thousands who have left the frontier
Stales for California, not more than three-fourths
will ever rcacii their destination. It is a melan
choly sight to sec men leap over a precipice; but
it is awful to sco them rush, by thousands, into
an almost interminlblo desert, to perish by slow
but certain degrees, from starvation, futigue, and
thirst. So infatuated are they (hat no reasoning
will convince them—no facts will restrain them
Tho great road that Mr. Denton speaks of
now being made by tho footsteps of men, women
and children will bo marked out and Macada
mized by tho bones of (lie victims of a nation’s in
sanity.
St. Johns, N. B., Sept. 8.—TIio steamship Hi
bernia, which got aslioro on Chcbucto, and was
repaired at Halifax, after proceeding six hundred
miles, was forced to return, and will go to St.
Johns to repair. Her passengers und rnnil will be
forwarded per Canada.
The meeting of Delegates from tho North Amer
ican Colonics was dissolved, after devisiug what
they deemed a plan to secure free trade with the
United States.
00* Tho following letter from ono of tiie gen
tlcrncn who accompanied Col. Calhoun to Santa
Fe, we find in the Columbus Enquirer:
Santa Fe, July 29th, 1849,
Dear Cousin Tom:—Wo all nrrived safe in
Santa Fc on tho 22d of this month, after a travel
of sixty-seven days from Fort Leavenworth; wc
were, however, uctaiucd two weeks this side of
tho Kansas river, about thirty miles from Fort
Leavenworth, waiting for Gen. Brook, who was
to take command. News nrrived of the death of
Gon. Worth, and Gen. Brook was rccnllcd, und
Col. Alexander, tho next in command, took
charge of tho forces, three companies of 3d In -
fautry and two companies of Artillery, besides
we had a great nutnbet of emigrants along. Wo
saw several tribes of Indians, but none of them
showed tho least hostilities, and would visit nur
camps of evenings to trade us Mules nnd Buffalo
skins; I bought a very flue one for about a table
spoou full of red Vermillion.
Wo saw no game of nny consequence, now and
then an Elk or Antelope, but they were so shy uf
us our pmty did not succeed in killing but Cwo oi
three of them. After coming further in the in-
tci ior, say about 400 miles/ we saw a herd of Buf
falo—if 1 was on oath I would say there was 16,-
000—feeding; we got in a half mile of them be
fore they made any attempt to run from us. That
day A. L. killed one, and we had rare sport cut
ting hitn up: wo continued seeing them off of the
road for eight or ten days, and would gonctnlly
S et one or two. Thomas, Leo and Hoxcy wero
io best hunters in the whole command, they had
a decided advantage of most of our party, having
fleet horses. My horse, Fluinmux, was not very
fust in a chase, but was superior to any nag in
tho whole command to keep tbo road in a walk,
ho seemed to bo cousious thut there was value on
his back, and did not caro to bo excited like most
of horses, at the report of guns, &c. A11 had to
take care of his own horse; we had picket ropes,
and when we would arrive at camp, the first th ng
would bo to find tho best grass for them to cat.

unsatisfactory. The London Nows aaya, it Is _ P‘ -
generally believed on tho Continent that Georgy’s
surrender wns in consequence of a pledge horn
the Czar that Hungary should bo independent. It
Is believod that Klapka still has possession of
Comorn.
A battle is reported to havcbcon fought between
llaub nnd Cotnorn, in'which tho Magyars had the
advantage.
Gen. Haynau, in his last bulletin, says that
Transylvania is clear of tho insurgents. A corps
of 7090 foot, 1000 horse, with 4000inuakcts and 2
cannon, were surrendered to tho Russians.
Gens. Bern and Guyon, on being surrounded by
can nny positively that llio only thing I killed
on Uie whole route wasoncof these big long-cared
Babbits, and thq only thing I shot at wiUi rny
rifle.
Wo caino to what is termed tho Cltnarone route,
a nearer distance by 100 miles or more, than the
Rattone or Bent’s Fort. Most of tho emigrants
tako the latter on account of no scarcity of water.
We never wanted either for water or provisions,
but had to rnako out tho best wo cojild for wood,
we cooked several meAls with Buflulo chips, they
make an excellent tiro, but do not hut long.
Col. Calhoun is having quarters fitted up for
himself, John Davis, Cove, and his two daugh
ters, and expects to come in town on Tuesday; ho
is at present about halftl, milo ubt ol town still
encamping. John Jones, Andrew Lee, and my
self, havo rented two rooms at $8 a month, we
have a black free man for a cook, wc pay him
$12 a month. Wc bought out (lie cqlire inter-
Luders, the Russian General, left their troops nnd
made their escape. Tho Hungarian troops had
nil laid down thoir arms at Arnab. 25,OUO men
wero taken prisoners, nnd 176 cannon captured.
Pnskiuwitch Ims delivered Georgy and tho mem
bers of tiie Diet, with all their materials of war,
to tho Austrian Commander.
Another of the Hungarian lenders Ims proposed
to capitulate, the terms being, freedom of officers
on parole. Gen. Hnyntu refused thesoconditions,
and was still in pursuit.
Tho Emperor’s decision with respect to Geor
gy's surrender is, Hint ho be dismissed from Ids
command, nnd his force, in part, be Incorporated
with tho imperial troops, tho officers to be put on
trial, and Georgy to bo confined in a Bohemian
fortress.
It is rumored Hint Kossuth has been captured
on tiie frontiers of Wallnchia. Ollier accounts
from tiie frontier say positively thnt Bern nnd
Kossuth had arrived at Adrianoplo, and embark
ed inan English ship.
A letter from Georgy directs tho surrender of
Cotnorn, giving uo reason but hopelessness of the
Hungurinn cause. A letter from Kossuth, writ
ten previous to Georgy’s surrender, has been pub
lished, acknowledging the hopelessness of the
Hungarian cause.
