The Hungarian Exiles in Washington.
—Presentation to the President .—On Tues
day, shortly after 12 o’clock, the Hungarian
delegation waited upon the President of the
United Stntas, to whom they were introduced
by the Mayor of Washington in the following
order:—
Governor Ladislady Ujhazy, Colonel Pmy-
gay, Major General Dambourgliy, Count Wuss.
Captain Osnull, Theodore Ujhazy, Cuptuin
Wniss, L. R. Breisachand C. Kraitzir.
The address of Governor Ujhazy to the
President in behalf of himself anil countrymen
is given at length, ns translated by Dr. Kraitzir.
The Republic says it was delivered in a man
ner to impress the spectator with profound
emotion, though not understanding Hungarian.
After declaring that he had attained the
most desirnble moment of his life in having
the honor of standing before the Chief Magis
trate of the freest and most glorious of nations,
and dwelling for some time in u most grateful
strain'upon the cordial welcome which had
been here given them, ho said:—
“Our happiness at feeling ourselves surround
ed by our American friends is, however, much
alloyed by the bitter grief at not seeing all our
Unhappy countrymen in the enjoyment of the
sumo good fortune. Hjw enviable is our lot
compared with theirs! We, therefore, must
humbly pray to God to grant them a speedy and
safe deliverance from their present thraldom.
Wo feel it to be our first duty to raise our
feeble voice in their behalf.
“We trust that wo shall he excused for al
lowing ourselves to make a most humble ap
peal to the people and Government of these
United States to use their powerful interces
sion with the Sublime Porte, in a manner
which they mny deem proper, in order to ob
tain the liberation of Kossuth and of all his
fellow-refugees, that they mny be able to come
to these hospitable shores, and to become par
takers in all and every bounty which may be
grunted to un.
“1 beg lenvo on my own part to say, that the
moral death of such a man ns Kossuth would
be n loss to humanity, to general liberty.”
The President’s roplv is givon as follows:
“Governor: It is with feelings of sincere
pleasure that I welcome you, and thoso around
you, to the capital of theso United States.
During your noble and valiant struggle for lib
erty, no people have watched the progress of
the Hungarian cause with more solicitude than
thoso of ibis Union. Wherever the standard
of liberty is raised, there will he the aspirations
of the American people. They participated
in the hopes with which tho contest for the
national independence of Hungary opened,
and to its close your countrymen commanded
their whole sympathy.
“Though it is no part of tho policy of the
United States to meddlo with the affairs and
conflicts of European nations; yet, had Hun
gary succeeded in establishing her indepen
dence, wo would huvo been first to welcome her
into the family of nations. As it is, her sons,
mid tho oppressed of every land, will hore find
the same protection which wo ourselves enjoy.
Here your rights, anil liberties and religion,
will be respected and maintained.
“I take port of the regret you express be
cause Kossuth and his distinguished associ
ates are not with you. 1 hope they will yet.
roticli our shores in safety, and that those of
your families, relatives and friends whom you
havo been compelled to lenvo behind, will
join you in this land of free institutitions. Hore,
I trust, you and they will forget much of the
hardships and trials you have gone through, in
the enjoyment of the liberties and blessings of
a new home. You are all Wellcome. 1 speak
the sentiments of our wholo people in bidding
you God-sdeed.”
Sandwich Islands.—The Whaling Fleet.
—Full files of Polynesia papers to Nov. 3, have
been received, but there is no news of particular
interest in them beyond marine and whaling in
telligence.
According to a letter in the Tribune, there
wore in the harbor of Luhninn, Sandwich Islai ds.
about tho 8th of November, 73 American wha
lers, returned from their summer cruises in the
North Pacific, nearly nil with full cargoes. So
profitable a season never was known before.
a he greater portion of the fleet have not been
out from port more than a year. About half of
them had been cruising in the Sea of Okhotsk,
off the Siberian coast; the remaining and more
fortunate half hnd been to tho new Arctic wha
ling ground discovered lust year by the ship 8u-
jteriorof New Bedford. Some of tho vessels
had penetrated far within tho Arctic Circle,
finding abundance of whales among the ice.
They were frequently locked in by tho floating
ice-fields, from which they harpooned several
whales, without the aid of boats.
The most successful vessel was the ship Will
iam Hamilton, which had on board 4.200 bids..
700 of which site took on tho passage out. At
the entrance of Bhering Straits she fell in with
three dead whales at one time. The remainder
ot tho cargo*sho took in tho Arctic Sen. This
unexampled success will give n new impetus to
the whaling traffic, especially since the demand
for sperm oil and candles has bemome so greuut
inTlalifrniu.
The Englishman's last and fast Friend
His wife may leave him, his family disown
him, his children run away from him, his best
friends avoid and desert him, but tho tax-gath
erer follows him to the grave. It must be
most flattering to an Englishman’s pride, that
poor as he may be, he hu^always one acqusiu-
ance that will call without ceremony and share
his lust penny loaf. Solitude and selfishness
cannot exist in Euglund. The Englishman’s
existence is a partnership drawn up for life
between the Government and himself, In
short, every Englishman may be said to pos
sess two shadows—-his own genuine true born
shadow, and the Government presentation
■shawow; but there is this difference between
the two, that whereas his own shadow merelv
walks nfter him, the Government shadow walks
into him, if it is not paid the moment it runs
after him.—Punch.

Ship Pas sage Across the Isthmus of Pa-
Within the last few days, a project has
been mooted in London under favorable au-
i (or the construction of a ship passage
tho Isthmus of l’atmma. It seems that
there ure no great, engineering difficulties in
the way of opening this connection between
the At lantic and the Pacific. The rivers Atra-
to and Neipt form a nearly ready mndo way
of navigation for by far the greater part of the
distance, and the gigantic chain of tho Cordil
leras dips to apnss of hilt a few hundred feet
in height. A deputation of the promoters has
hnd an interview upon tho subject with Lord
Palmerston nttho Foreign Office. His lordship
received tho project favorably, requested a
further interview when the plans were more
matured, and expressed his willingness to con
sider how far faeillities might he afforded
through the Board of Admirality to any expe
dition sent out by the projectors to explore the
district, and survey the line of the proposed
opening from seu to sen, The plan is at pre
sent under the consideration of several parties
of capital and influence, some of whom are
largely engaged in the trade of those seas; and
should the decision prove fnvorahlo, it is intend
ed to despatch forthwith un engineer, in com-
puny with some able assistance, to tho spot.—
European Times, Dec. 15.
The Extent of onr Country.—It has been
computed that tho U. States have a frontier
line of 10,750 milos, a lake coast of 1,160 miles.
One of its rivers is twice as long as the Dan
ube, the largest river in Europe. The Ohio is
600 miles longer than the Rhine, and tho noble
Hudson has a navigation in the “Empire State”
one hundred and twenty miles longer Ilian the
Thames. Within Louisiana are bayous and
creeks, almost unknown, that would shame, by
comparison, the Tiber or the Seine. The
State of Virginia alono is one third larger
tliuii England. The State of Ohio contains
three thousand square miles moro than Scot
land. The hurbor of New-York receives the
vessels that navigate rivers, canals, and lakes
to the extent of three thousand miles, equal to
the distance from America to Eurpo. From
the capital of Maine to the “Crescent City”
is two huneretl miles further than from Lon
don to Constantinople, u route that would cross
England, Belgium, a part of Pruasia, Germany,
Austria, und Turkey.—Nat. Inlelligeecer.
The Economy of Eggs, and the Egg Trade.
—Some very interesting experiments relative to
tho production of eggs, were made about ten
years ago by Mr. Mouat, of Stoke, near Guil
ford. He obtained throe pullets of the Polish
breed, on the 1st of December, 1835, which
hud been hatched in Juno previous, and they
commenced laying on the 15*h of tho same
month. They laid from tho 1st of December,
1835, to the 1st of December, 1836, between
them,524 eggs. During the yeurtheyjconsumed
three bushels of burlev, seventeen pounds of
rice, and a small portion of barley meal and
peas, the cost of which amounted to about 16s.
l(ld. The number of eggs being 524, gives
about 31 eggs per every shilling expended, and
assumyig the weight of each egg to be one
and # a quarter ounce, we have a result of forty-
one pounds of the most neutritious food that can
possibly be procured at the low cost of 4*Jd.
per pound ; or if these eggs were, instead of
being consumed, sold to a retailer, a profit of
about 106 per cent accrued to the .producer.
Out of 72,000000 eggs annually imported to En
gland from France, Germany, the Netherlands
and other countries, Franco contributes 55,-'
000,000. Calculating the first cost at d^d. per
dozen, England pays annually to France for
eggs ubout £77,000.
U. S. Army in California.—We lenrn from
n person who lias been for the last three years
connected with tho detachment of tho U. S.
Army in California, thut soldiers for some time
past havo been entirely contented, and that
desertion hud ceased. Every effort has
been niudo to render them comfortable, and
they lmve but little inducement to envy the
condition of the miners. The country being
entirely quiet, their military duty is light, and
they are able to earn when not on duty, n suf
ficient sum to satisfy them. In fact, that those
who are mechanics, when tho cost of their
subsistence, &e., is considered, do better than
the majority of trades people nof in the ser
vice.
Night.—Night is beautiful its If, but still
mere beautiful in associations. It is not link
ed, ns day is, with our cares and our toils, the
business and bitterness of life. The sunshine
brings with it action ; we rise in the morning,
und our task is before ns ; and night comes,
and with it rest. If we leave sleep, and ask
not for dreamy forgetfulness, our wuking is in
solitude, und our employment is thought. Im
agination has thrown her glories around the
midnight: tho orbs of heaven, the silence, the
shadows, are steeped in poetry. Eeven in
the heart of a crowded city, where the moon
light falls but upon the pavement and roof, the
henrt would he softenned, und mind elevated,
amid tho loveliness of night’s deepest und
stillest.hours.
Singular Death.—On Monday tho 31st
December Martha, daughter of Mr. Hiram
Cass, uged 8 years of Barton, Vl., with a
younger sister, went into the barn yard, and
having taken a strap she fastened it mound the
neck ofa pet calf and also around her own. Her
younger sister becoming cold, returned to the
house to warm herself—and having done so,
again went to the yard. She soon returned to
tho house saying thut “Martha was lying on
the ground and would not speak to her.” Up
on going to the yard to solve the mysterious
story of the little girl Martha was found dead,
having boon choked to death by tho strap about
her neck.—St. Joknsbury Caledonian.
The Emperor of Austria has sent his portrait,
richly framed, as a present to the President of
the French Republic, accompanied by an auto
graph letter, in which lie compliments the Presi
dent on the important services ho Inis rendered
the cause of order and society.
Galignani's Messenger asserts that there is
not only no truth in the statement that the pass
port system has been abolished, in France but
that nomodification of it has taken place.
{jP The number of exiles in Siberia in 1840
was 135,000. We presume that number has
been greatly increased since then. The entire
population of Siberia is about seven millions.
Bv the way, now that we have colonized the Pa
cific coast of this continent, we ought to drive
considerable ofa tradfc with Sibera. It fronts on

WENDESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1850.
The Slavery Question—Action in Vir
ginia.—In our paper of yesterday, we alluded
to tho action of the Legislature of Virgiattia on
the subject of the Vermont Resolutions. The
following are the remarks of Gov. FI.OYD, in his
message irunsinittirg tho resolutions to the'
House of Delegates. Alluding to the request
of tho Vermont Executivo that the resolutions
should} belaid before the Legislature of Virginia,
tho Ctovcrnor says—
I comply with the request because I think it
proper you should know the temper and spirit
manifested towards Virginia and the South by
Vermont. If I could believe the sentiments
contained in these resolutions wore confined to
the State from which they eminate, they would
excite in me, as I am sure they would in every
citizen of Virginia, a feeling of pity merely.—
But we are constrained to believe from evi
dences too numerous and clear to admit ot a
doubt, that, these resolutions embody the opin
ions and the feelings too of a large majority of
tho free States.
In this respect they present to us a question
of momentous importance, anil drive us to con
sider how we are to vindicate our character and
maintain our constitutional rights. The pro
visions of the constitution, upholding, sutuii.-
ing and protecting slavery, are. by these resolu
tions, abrogated uml destroyed. Tho opinion
of the North sustains this action.
The time has already passed for the discussion
of the questions between us; no human reason
or eloquence cun stop the headlong curecr of in
jur} mid wrong which the North is pursuing to
wards us. They trample upon tho Constitution
anil our rights, whilst they meet with scorn and
contempt nil remonstrance against their course
of aggression.
We can tuke enre of ocrselves ; let us not sit
idly down until tho foot of the destroyer comes.
Wo have already given tho resolution of tho
Legislature in response to the Governor’s mes
sage, very properlyreturning the Vermont reso
lutions to the source from whence they emana
ted. Tho following resolution offered by Mr.
Burwell, was referred to tho committee on the
Wilmot provision :—
Resolved, That it be and is hereby recom
mended to the people of Virginia not to import,
purchase or consume nny artic.e, the prodnee or
manufacture of the State of Vermont, or of any
other Stale in this Union which shall address to
Virgininthe language of menace or of repronc ••
Our Washington correspondent, in his letter
published yesterday, makes allusion to other
extreme measures in contemplation by the peo
ple of Virginia. ..
It is to bo hoped that the intermeddling ogw
tators of the slavery question at the North
will ere long become convinced of tho earnest
ness of the people of the South, and of their
settled determination to maintain their rights.
Our correspondent says, in his letter of yester
day, that they “never will believe that the
South is in earnest." There is precisely the
difficulty in this matter. -If this slavery ques
tion was one on which the people of this coun
try could coine together and which they
might discuss in the sumo way that all other
questions of national interest are discussed, all
parties of all sections, having an equal interest,
an equal responsibility involved in the issue,
and an equal amount of information in regard
to its bearings,-there can he no question
that there is intelligence and patriotism
enough in the country to enable us to dispose
of it,-and to preserve the harmony anil perma
nency of this Union.. But it is not aquestion
of that character. It is more than an ordina
ry sectional question—it is not confined alone
by geographical limits ; but it is influenced by
distinct, und in some degree, antagonistical in
terests. Out of this fact has grown the danger
which now threatens our confederacy. While
those of the North who are engaged in this
cru.-ndeagainst us, are by their position freed
alike from all responsibility and all hindrance,
we of the South occupy it position from which
we cannot recede, and have interests involved
which wo cannot, if we would, relinquish.—
Viewing the matter in this light, years ago
we believed we could forsee the inevitable re
sult. We believed that the oiAy hope for our
political union was in meeting this question
unitedly, firmly, and boldly at the threshold.—
We hud observed the gradual incrouchments of
the enemy. Step by step we had seen the ab
olitionists of the North advance until they had
reared their banner in the Federal capital, and
boldly proclaimed the organization of a national
party. We had saen how these disorganizes
and incendiaries were courted by the politicians
of the day, and that while they were acquiring
influence and power in the nationul councils,
man and parlies who courted their aid were
endeavoring to lull suspicion and to stifle the
voice of alarm, l’arty presses even here nt the
South, blew hot or cold on tho subject as this
or that taek suited the state of tho politicrl
game at Washington, and abolitionism was
only dangerous or offensive when it could not
be used for selfish political purposes, or when
it proved antagonistical in its affinities. Polili-
cal power was the stake played for, and unity
and harmony of party, to be effected by any
means and at all hazards, were the means by
which it was to be accomplished. We saw
this slate of things with alarm, and we believed
that it would result in disaster. We believed
that it would not only invite and embolden the
attacks of our enemies, but that it would mis
lead and deceive the reflecting patriotic portion
of t}ie Northern people, who would be led to
believe that there were really no grounds for
apprehension so long as we who had all at stake,
manifested no alarm ourselves. If we took no
steps to check the aggressions of the abolition
ists, why should they 7 If we were not w illing
to abandon party for the sake of prrinciplp*
involving our political and social existence,
f
why should they, who had so little direct inter
est in the matter. By some the course of the
South was regarded as un indication of timid
ity, while by others it was hailed as an evi
dence thatthe enlightenment of n higher mortali
ty bail dawned upon us, and that our barbarous
prejudices were giving way before the active
appeals and humanizing influences of the mod
ern philanthropy. - , ■-»*
That such an opinion is actively inculcated
and extensively entertained nt the North, we
know—that it had its origin in the cause we
have assigned, and that it has given a new im
petus to the movement Against us, we do not
doubt. Whether it can now be removed, and the
people of tho north convinced of our earnest de
termination to defend our institutions at ull
hazards, before it is too late, remains to be
seen. We hail with grateful satisfaction the
action of tho noble old frontier States, Vir
ginia and Maryland, and trust that their patri
otic example will be imitated by ull States,
parties, and men, at the South. By a. firm,
resolute, and united stand now, we may save
the Union, than which nothing is dearer ex
cept OUR RIGHTS.' WK
Loss ok the British Ship Elizaheth, off
Charleston.—An tho steamer Metamora
from this city wu3 nearing Charleston on Mon
day Inst, she discovered a largo ship on shore
on Stono Breaker, about 10 miles South of
Charleston. She reported the same to Cupt.
Blankenship, who hud charge of the Steamer
Gen. Clinch, which boat was about to leave
Charleston for this city, but as she had no
mail from beyond that city, nor any passengers,
she proceeded to the relief of the wreck which
proved to be the British ship Elizabeth, from
Liverpool, of S00 tons burthen, and bound to
Charleston. On reaching her Capt. Blanken
ship found her abandoned, with all her sails
set—her cargo consisting of salt and coal
The captain and crew of the Elizabeth, hnd
reached the shore in their beats. The Capt.
reports that he laid off and on for throe, days,
and the weather being extremely bad, the ship
went ashore on Monday morning about 10
o’clock. The Capt. of the Clinch made every
effort to got the ship oft’, but the sea running
very high, and the weather unfavorable 1 it was
impossible to accomplish his object. He reports
that tho ship will be a total loss. The Capt. of
the Elizabeth saved all his papers,and otherval-
uable articles.
In consequence of the assistance rendered
to the Elizabeth by the Gen. Clinch, the latter
bout, did not reach our city until nearly 6 o’clock
last evening. She left again at her usual hour
last night for Charleston. •
Since writing the above, tho steamer Meta
mora has arrived, bringing the Charleston pa
pers of yesterday morning, together with any
amount of back mails. From the Courier we
learn that the mate and nearly all the crew
of the Elizabeth had reached that port in their
boats. The Courier contains a letter from
Cupt. Clark,- of the Elizabeth, addressed to
Jas. Robertson, Esq., consignee, in which he
suys:
I am very much afraid the ship will be
come a total wreck. We struck this (Mon
day) morning, at 1 o’clock. We left her with
the forefoot quitO oil', the stern port started, and
9 feet water in the hold. We were off Charles
ton bar on Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing, but could get no Pilot.”
Where are the Charleston Pilots in squally
weather ?
The Charleston Boats.—The Clinch left
last evening for Charleston, and after proceed
ing a short distance down the river, found that
her boilers leaked so badly, that it would be
impossible to proceed, and was compelled to
put back. The Metamora did not arrive until
near 10 o’clock. Having been detained in
Charleston to await the Northern mail, and hav
ing a large freight on board, it was impossible
for her her to take the place of the Clinch—
therefore no mail or passengers left onr city last
night for Charleston.
OF 3 Tho steamer Jasper, one of the line
of mail packets between this city and Charles
ton, has been taken off tho line, and will
hereafter bo employed in the Government
service, on the Florida coast. The Ocamulgce,
Capt. Wilson, will take her place on tho line.
Misprints—Our compositors made us use
several odd expressions in our paper of yester
day. In our notice of the Conflicts of Chris
tianity they printed “representative heads” for
respective heads; and in our article on tho
Weather, they inode us say “sappy side walks”
for sloppy side walks, and “suns of tho North,”
for snows of the North.
The Youth’s Friend.—We refer our rea
ders, especially our young readers to the pros
pectus of the Youth’s Frinnd, a new periodical
for young people shortly to be issued in Augus
ta,Georgia,by MissW.C. Tyson. The work is of
a class much needed among us at the South,and
which parents who desire to see their children
imbibe a taste for reading, should not fail to
encourage The matter in the pages of such
works is selected with a view to improve the
mind, and cultivate the moral feelings of chil
dren, and while they win them away from the
perusal of useless or pernicious books, often
lay the foundation for exalted moral character,
and mental attainments, by early imbuing the
mind with correct sentiments and refind
tasts. The handsome manner in which the ed
itress is introduced to the public by the ed
itor of the Republic, assures us that she is a
lady highly qualified for the task she has assum
ed, and in the discharge of which we wish her
abundant success.
The Soap-Man Stumped.—We see it slat
ed that Ilillfmtn the whilome companion of tho
renowned Razor Strop-Man is duing a strap
ping business at Panama, when he had arrived
on his way to California, with a cargo of Ra
zor-Strops.
Tho lost time we saw Hillman he was in the
soap line, nnd was holding forth to a mixed
crowd ou the corner of North and Saratoga
streets, in Baltimore, whom ho was. endeav
oring to persuade into tho purchase of his soap,
which he declared would remove grease 6pots
anil stains, quicker nnd better than any other
article that hnd ever been invented. By his
side stood Smith, the dienlical Razor Strop
Man, as Jack Owens would call him, intently
engaged in sharpening one of his quarter-dul-
lnr razors on one of his invincible quarter-dol-
lar strops, occasionally pausing to pluck a hair
from Hillman’s head, (Smith is bald himself)
on which to test the keenness of tho edge, for
the satisfaction of the crowd who pressed round
to hear the quaint speeches of tho twuin, and
examine if not to purchase their goods.
“Jestry that are soap now, gentlemen," said
Ilillmun, holding up a pioce of his soup.
“Jes try it. It will take any thing out of your
coat or trousers jest as if it had never been
there—grease, paint, oil, or any thing. Any
thing but a hole, that aro soap will take out “’
“Few left!” chimed in the Razor-Strop man
in his deep gutteral, to help out the laugh.
In the crowd, pressing in among the whites
and making more fuss than half a dozen of the
others, was a tall, dandy Negro, in a while hat
and kid gloves. The fellow was dressed
“within an inch of his life,” was exceedingly
dignified, and ns black as Erebus—so very
black that he might have powdered with lamp
black and not soiled his skin.
Presently there was one of those periodical
windfalls of custom which now and then re
ward tho persevering efforts of itinerant street-
venders, and which lasted for a minute or
more, during which there was considerable
bustling and jostling among the crowd. Tho
colored gentleman, before alluded to, availed
himself of tho opportunity to obtain n better
point of view, and in attempting to do so,
pressed rather carelessly against a jolly son of
the Emerald Isle, who was occupying a posi
tion in his front, on which the Irishman, to the
evident surprise and great satisfaction of the
negro, gavo way, and ushered him into the cen
tre of tho crowd.
“This ere soap,” resumed Hillman, “is tho
greatest thing to find lost children in the world.
It’s better than a bell-man. All a woman 1ms
to do, is jest to catch ’em ond wash theiriiices
with this ere soap, and she’ll know her own in
a minit. This soap ’ll tuke out ail kinds of
stains und colors. It’ll”
“Stop ! here ! " interrupted the Irishman.
“Hero’s a gentleman that’s boon tryin to get at
your soap for the hour.”
“Where is ho?" inquired Hillman, suspend
ing his speech.”
“But stop. Be aisy now,” said the Irishman.
“You said yer soap would take out^’
“Grease, oil, paint, tar, stains and colors of
all kinds,” intengiptcd the anxious Hillman.
“Good for you,” replied the Irishman. “Now
here’s a subject for you”—pulling the negro
dandy up by the colar—here’s a “gintlemau
that want’s you to soap the black out ofhis coun
tenance. If you can do that, you can bato
ackefortis intirely.”
In the shout that followed from tho crowd,
the colored gentleman sloped, his “eyes in a fine
frenzy rolling,” and his face wearing a very re
markable expression, without, however, dimin
ishing one shade of its ebony tint.
“Put by yer soap! put up away yer soap af-
ther that,” shouted the Irishman, with a jeer.
As tho laugh subsided the discomfited-fionp
Man was heard to mutter some thing about
the difference between grease, and colors died
in the wool, while his companion brought tho
crowd together again with “Few left!”
College Difficulty.—A difficulty has oc
curred between the students and Faculty of
the Georgetown College, in consequence of the
shumeful and tyrannous conduct of a foreign
Professor. A meeting of tho students was
held for the purpose of denouncing the obnox
ious Professor, Three of the leaders in this
movement wore expelled, whereupon sixty of
the students withdrew from the College, leav
ing only sixteen in the institution. It is said
that before tho sixty left they forcibly released
their three companions who hud been confined.
