Execution of IIiingurittnH.
• A work by Max Sclilosinger, just published in Lon-
don, gives a' very full and spirited aecount of tile re
cent VViir in Hungary. We find in it the following
graphic account of tho execution by the Austrian
General Hayncau, after the treachery of Georgoy
had placed them in his power, of thirteen Hungarian
generals and stuff officers, oh tho flth of October-
Four of those lioroic men mot their egd by daybreak
the couminutation of their sentence to “powder and
lead" exempting them from the anguish of witness
ing the death of thoif companions in arms. Amongst
the rest was Ernest Kiss. Ilia brother had become
Insane niter Ooorgey’s treachery ; bis cousin had fnl-
ion, a second Lconldus in the d-'-nce- of ti e Rothen-
thunn ('ass; he himself, *’.tc richest aided proprie
tor in tin; Hamit, whose hospitable castle was all the
year round filled with Austrian cavuliers nnd offi
cers. was on the (Ith of October sentenced to dentil
by the. Austrian court martini, on which sat many of
the former partakers of Ida hospitality. His friends
at Vienna had interceded to save his life, but in vain,
lie died a painful death : the Austrian soldiers who
whro ordered to carry tho sentence into effect, and
who for a whole year had faced tho (ire of the Hunga
rian artillery, trembled before their defenceless vic
tim ; three separate vollies were fired before Kiss
fell—his death struggles lasted full ten minutes.
The report of the firing wiib heard in tho castle,
where those officers sentenced to lie hung were pre
paring for dentil. Poltenbcrg hail linen in a profound
sleep, and startled, ns ho told tho Austrian officer, by
the first volley, he had jumped out of bed. The un
happy man had boon dreaming tlint he was in the face
of the enemy, and heard tho firing of alarm signnls nt
ids outposts,—it was tho summons from the grave.
,At 6 o’clock in tho morning, the condemned officers
were led to the place of execution. Old Aullcb died
first: he was the most advanced in yeurs, nnd the
court martini seemed tints to respect the natural priv
ilege of age. Ilirtinguished by his real and efforts in
the cause of his country, more than by the success
which attended them, Aulich was inferior to many of
his comrades in point of talent: hut in uprightness
and strength of character, none surpassed him. Count
Leinlngen was the third in succession and the young
est. Ati opportunity hud been offered him late on the
preceding evening of escaping by (light; but lie would
not separate bis late from that of his brother-in-law,
who was a prisoner in tho fortress. His youth, per
haps, inspired him with a desire of giving to his cider
cbmpauloDS in sorrow around him, an example of
heroic stoicism in death; and, op reaching the placo
of execution, lie exclaimed, with melancholy humor,
“ They ought at least to have treated us to a break-
Ono of the guard soldiers compassionately handed
him his wine-flask. “ Thank you my friend," said
tho young General, " I want no wine to give me cour
age—bring me a glnss of water.” IIo-then wrote on
his knee witli n pencil tho following farewell words
to his brother-in-law: " Tho shots which this morn
ing laid my poor.com rndeo low, still resound in my
ears, and before mo hangs tho body of Aulich on the
gallows. In this solemn moment when 1 must pre
pare to appear before my Creator, I once more pro
test against tho charges of cruelty at tho taking of Hil
da, which an infamous slander has raised against me.
On tho contrary, 1 have on all occasions protected the
Austrian prisoners. I commend to you my poor Dis
ks and my poor children. I die for a cause which al
ways appeared to me to be just and holy.
If in happier days my frieDds ever desire to avenge

Ily invitation from Mr. J. M. Haywood, yesterday
we stopped in at the elbgnnt establishment he lias re
cently fitted up for bathing. It is, unquestionably,
the neatest and most comfortable ever erected in this
city, and should (ns we trust it will) be well patroniz
ed. There is everything there that cun be called fyr,
or thought of, and nothing will be wanting, either in
the apparatus or attendance, to make it n pleasant re
sort.
Mr Haywood, with his usual liberality of expendi
ture, hap been utterly regardless of the cost of this es-
tablishnfltefit, nnd the consequence is, that he has been
subjected to an outlay of nearly too thousand dollars.
Such n spirit as this should, and will receive tiie en
couragement and support of a community whoso
aim should ever be to foster a spirit of liberality and
enterprize.
The low price at which the use of these baths have
been fixed, and the unquestionable advantage of their
use, will, wo hope, ensure to Mr. Haywood a hand
some return upon his liberal investment.

deliberate slowness of tho work of butchery Boomed

' I’hilndelpliin In Darkness.
The editor of tho Philadelphia Sun, is facetious
over tho calamity which lately hofell tho valley of the
Schuylkill, flooding, and putting out tho fires in tho
city gas works. He says :
We groped our way through the darkness nn hour
or two last night, to see how our public places man
aged. tlie gas works having been submerged, and the
city left in nlmost total gloom. Conner’s Theatre
had footlights of sperm candles arranged, while tlie
body of the house was "darkness visible" by tlie aid
of the fllckbiing gas lights. At tho Museum, Col.
Sanford, with the perfect promptitude which distin-
guf-(iM every ono connected with Uaruum, had cant-
phonelatniitl suspended all around the dress circle,
and entrance way. The house was densely crowded
fcigyoet Miss Alexina Fisher as Lady Teazle, in tlie
School for Seundle There was a blazo of beauty
nnd fashion in tlie dress circles, which of itself
would almost,hnvo lighted the liduse. The mini who
manages tlie big Drummond light on the top of tlie
Mpsunn, was Tho very •• moon ot Rome," and the
bright long rays of sunny intensity lighted Chosnut

closed. Donnell, attlie corncrof Wulnut anil Eighth
streets, blazed like an illumination from tlie effects
of tallow lights stuck in porter bottles in his win
dows.
Toe pen nut aud applo stands in tho. streets loomed
out with their lanterns and candles like minor suns.
In all the streets, the diacription of Coleman, tlio

tlioy were soon in a blaze. Tho torch of Hymen,

it was a night of adventure, and the moon will never
be forgiven hy ouriudignuiitcomimitiity for not mak
ing her appearance; she, however, was engaged for
tho night in lighting China teapots and Japan black
ing. Wo wished devoutly that we bad issued an
Evening Sun ; it would have sold like pepper pot or
hot cukes. Moyameiising, for once, whs the most cn-
, lightened part of the city, audit's oil lamps twinkled
like Sirius’ Aldnbarcn, or the other first class stars ol'
our firmament.
Fuimixti Itkms from California, hy the Em
tire City.—From the Quid Regions.—The advices
from the Gold Regions aro very encouraging, bob: ns
regards health and success. On liar river,, the gold
diggers are averaging $8 por day. The average nt tho
Rough nnd Rendy diggings is set down at $i> per day.

W i>: « letter published in the^Alta Californian ot
tile 1st ot August, says: “Among ns many ns live
thousand lienors, who came within uiy observation,
I scarcely heard of sickness. 1 did not hear of but
six cases of sickness during my whole tour, and I
asked in every place.
“ There is an air ot cheerfulness nnd buoyancy,
which is peculiarly inspiring. I know people al home,
(I menu on the oilier side oi the Alleghiimus,) must de-

At Che Mormon “ Gulch," resolutions havo been pas
sed to drive all Mexicans from the mines. They have
received notice to quit in fijteen days, or they mill be < c-
pelted by force.
San Joaquin District.—Tim citizens of Stockton
recently held a meeting nt the Owen House, in tlmt
city, and in view of the idurming state of affairs in the
Sun Joaquin District, consequent upon the recent cru
el murders perpetrated by bauds of lawless robbers,
Who infest the routes to tho mines of that region,
adopted measures to restore tranquility, und bring the
gllilty-by, justice. They determined to raise a corps ol
yojunledi mounted iangora, and opened a subsurip
r kMax.es Employed in the Mint. The Phila
delphia Ledger snys there are nt present seven fe
males employed in the adjusting department of the
United States mint in that City.
Steamer Creole—the same which figured so
conspicuously in the Cuban Expedition, under Gen.-
Lopez—arrived nt New York on Wednesday fore,
noon, from Key West—last from Charleston.
Vandalism.—Tlie Washington Republic announ
ces an net of'valdaiisin that lias excited to a high dc.
greo tlie indignation of tho people of that city. On
Sunday last the bcnutifully sculptured stone presen
ted hy the Stnte of South Carolina for tlie Washing,
ton Monument, was wantonly defaced by some mis-
cresnt. Tlie stone is adorned hy the coat of arms of
that State. The heads aro broken off tlie male and
female fig« res, and tho trump of fame, held by an
angel ab„vc those figures, is also broken. Orders
were on Monday given for the restoration of this
work, by deepening tlie engraving, and the stone will
bo soon elevated to the place it is designed to occupy.
Funeral of Prof. Webster. The Boston Con-
ier snys that tho burin! of Professor Webster took
place on Friday evening. The body wns taken to
Mount Auburn, attended by a few friends'and rein,
tives, and deposited in a family tomb.
d?* The New York Journal of Commorco draws
from tho solemn scenes of Friday, in the execution
oi Prof. Webster, some lessons of instruction to the
community. Tho duty of every man’s living within
his inenns, of being honest and economical, of keep
ing out of debt, nnd of governing and controlling his
temper, is very well inculcated by tlie Journal, which
also comments upon tho fact that nn elevated posi
tion in society is neither a security against crime nor
its punisument.
Another Humored Cuban Expedition. A New
York letter writer to tlie Philadelphia Enquirer, snys:
There have been rumors flying about for some tiino
past of another expedition being formed for the pur
pose of invading Cuba, but they huge excited noth
ing but ridicule nnd contempt. 1 heard to-day from
n person who assumed to know nil about the sub
ject, tlint they arc true, flint an immense sum of
money lias been raised for tlio purpose, nnd that ns
many ns seven thousand men have already been en
listed fur tlie purpose of making another descent on
that Island.
The gentleman is recently from Ilnvnnn, and in ad-
Oltlon to whathesnid in reference to the rumored ex
pedition, informed me that nt least two-thirds of tho
people of Cubn are opposed to any further political
connection with Spain, nml that if Lopez's expedition
had been better managed, nnd iftho Creole lmd been
burnt on her arrival, so as to cut off retreat, tlie
movement would have beensueeessiul, und Cuba lie
free. Now, I givo this without oxpresain
opinion on tho matter, ono way or tlio other.

Quick Work. In six hoursirom tlio discovery
that a bridge on tho Baltimore mid Susquehanna Rail
road was washed away on Monday last, a new struc
ture wns framed nnd laid down with rails, so ns to
permit tlie curs to pass. This was rapid work; and
the pnssengevs who were detained had reason to con
gratulate themselves on the promptness and energy
with which tlie damage wns repaired.
Love and Suicide.—A young man, limned Wm.
Henry, hung himself at Goshen, Ohio, on 20th ult.
on account of tho dentil of a young indy to whom he
h ad been paying bis addresses.
The Vermont Election.—Tlie election in Ver
mont took placo on Tuesday, and as was expected,
the whigs are triumphant as usual.
Frogrtss of the Chain of Hull Hond---Fn-
ture Prospects of Snvnnnnh.
In nil probability^ In tlio course of twelve or
eighteen months, Savannah will lie the seaport term
inus of tlie most extehsive chain of Rail Roads in tlie
Southern country. At present we have a direct and
continuous lino of road from this city into tho very
heart of Tennessee. All this road is now, oris fast
becoming placed in the most substantial and durable
condiliuu.
In the eourso of the coming year, the Central Rail-
Road, (the most stupendous workover undertaken
by subscription, in the Southern country,) will bo
laid with a heavy rail, eapnblo of bearing safely and
speedily the heaviest frieghts that can be brought
over it. Every particular portion of it has been un
dergoing a thorough overhauling and repairing; turn
outs lengthened, nnd adjusted with mathematical
precision; switches constructed in tile most endura
ble manner, with patent gates, securing absolute safe
ty in entering and leaving them; wells, pumps and
woodyards arranged with perfect system, and all the
minutim of repair entered into nud carried out with
n determination to leave nothing imperfect Add to
this tho introduction of new engines of the first
class—six of which will be upon tlie road this fall,—
niul tlie constantly increasing number of passengers
nnd freight cars, and wc see tlint nothing is wanting
to make this the most rclinblo establishment in the
state. And we are much mistaken if this energetic
management of the affairs of tho concern, together
with tlie liberal system adopted in the transaction of
all their business, will not make it tile most popular
route in the Southern country.
The Augusta nnd Waynesboro Rail-Road has been
retarded beyond tho calculation of those having the
conduct of its construction. But this has been from
causes which no human power could control. That
portion of the work which wns to lie worked upon
this summer, is in one ol the most unhealthy districts
of the Stnte. Consequently no effort on tlie pnrt of
tlie contractors (whose business capacity and energy
no one will pretend to dispute) could keep a iorce of
unacclimhted laborers on the work, in tlie course
of the coming winter we will sec this work pushed
forward with such energy as will ensure its comple
tion to Wnynesboro long before it ia dreamed of
by those who now despair in consequence of delays
which they do not understand. That portion of the
ltoad from Wnynesboro to Augusta (30 miles) is al
ready located, nnd, wo believe, in partundercontract;
nnd will most likely bo pushed forward to its com
pletion at no distant day.
When this road reaches Augusta, there will be no
bridge to be crossed in order to connect with tlie
Georgia Rail Iload, and no such delays consequently
will take place in tljo transit of freight nnd passengers
to Savannah, ns now interrupt them in their pro
gress to Charleston. Besides, the distance from Au
gusta to Charleston will be nt least six miles greater
than to Savannah. Taking these facts, together
with tlie unquestionable superiority of tlie Savannah
bar over nny other south of Hatteras, on the Atlantic
const, and we have tho conclusion inovitably placed
before us, that tlio tide of freight, such as doesnot pre.
fer the river, must certainly take this direction. And
when our lines of steamers are again perfect, passen
ger travel, too, from all that section of country whose
population passes down the Georgia Rail Road, will
until rally tend this way. Nor is this all: The city of
Augusta, (as we havo lately taken occasion to show) is
bending nil her energies to the business of manufac
turing, milling, founding, und all those industries
which make a people great within themselves, and
which make their trade an object of increasing im
portance. That city will be, in future, to Savannah,
what Lowell is to Boston, the great workshop from
which sho receives all her mechanical exports, anil
the time will come When they will be bound in that
strongest of all ties—the bond of mutual interest.
But there is still another direction in which the
lines of Rail Rond are extending: southwesterly from
Macon. The completion, (this coming winter) oi the
South Western Hull Road to Oglethorpe (50 miles
from Mncon) will make Suvanmih the lap into which
the rich treasures of the cotton region of Georgia will
bo poured. This road will be connected with the Cen
tral Itoiid by bringing- across the Ocainulgee River,
and no delays will be experienced in the forwarding
of merchandise or passengers. Here new sources
of trade nnd of tlie wealth that flows from trade
will be opened, and an amount of business, now alto
gether incalculable, will full to the share of Savan
nah.
Nor is this all: It is predicted (and with good
ground,) tlmt in less than a year a train of cars will
leave Maeon and enter Columbus. The Muscogee
Rail lloud is in progress, and going on rapidly to its
completion. This Rond connects Columbus with
tin: South Western Road. Hero is unotlier rich pro
ducing country through wtiich the Roud will pass,
and which is now without a convenient market. And
Columbus, like Augusta, is destined to be one of the
greatest manufacturing cities in the State—nny they
will both before many years have rolled over their
heads be among tho first on this continent.
What a field is hero open to Savannahl Georgia,
Tennessee, Alabama, nnd part of South Carolina are
all embraced by that astonishing power which mocks
at time nnd places distance ot defiance. The progress
of the city is onward,, and still onward ! nothing
within tlie foresight of man can stay her in her
march. In vain the impotent rnge of mercenary
enemies lins beaten itself against the strong wall of
her position ; in vain the foul tongue of slander and
misrepresentation are employed against her in all that
relates to her reputation »s a commercial or a social
community ; the people will find her out, and will
know her by her acts. An J then that mutual confi
dence, and respect, which should exist between a
people mutually dependent oil eneh other, will spring
up and glow stronger, and stronger till the mountain
and tho seashore shall know, and trust eacli other,
nnd be friends, and fellow-partners in prosperity.

Kronomy of Glut.
Mn. Editor : It has frequently occurred to mo
ns n matter of wonder tlint tho use of tfns in private
dwellings Is not more lrequently adopted, when its
advantages, safety nnd convenieuco are so very evi
dent. Many who have adopted its uto mny lie heard
to complain, that it lias proved “ no saving” to them.
Perhaps not in actual cash oilt lay ; lint let us look nt
it in another point of vie\V. You will never hear
of a gas light bursting,as in the easeot camphene.anil
perhaps severely, il notfatatly, injuring |tho uniortu*
nates who may be in its vicinity ; neither i* it proba-
hle that bed curtains or any other substances easily
ignited, are likely to come in contact wilh a gas light.
Gas light may justly be pronounced safer than any
other light that has ever been invented hy man. It
produceSno sparks, it produces no smoke, there is no
dirtaccumulating about tho burner, (which is a life
time pest to the clennly house keeper, who uses oil,)
it requires neither time nor attention to keep every
tiling in perfect order. It may be turned down in an
instant to the moBt minute, speck of flame, ready to
bo. restored when necessary by tlie simple turning of
the stop cock. The consumer of gas will discover
that in addition to the convenience nnd safety abo' o
cited, their dwellings will be lighted far more bril
liantly than wns the case when candles or lamps were
used. If those who assert that there is no economy
in using gas, will take the trouble to count tlie cost
of broken lamps nnd lamp-glasses, cost of wick, loss
of time in trimming lamps, nnd tlie inconvenience
they experience from the neglect of idle servnnts,
while performing tlint disngreeablo duty, they will
find that they widely miss the figure, and that econo
my of time and convenicnco ia fully as i mportant an
item as tlint of economy in money matters. C.

Pba7.il and the British.- The burning of tho
Brazilian vessels by the Bluish is a subject ot intense
excitement, and the Brazilian minister has demanded
satisfaction for the insult to the emperor. lie also pro
tests against the act as a scandalous abuse of power,
placing the coasting trade of tlie empire not only at
the mercy of foreign tribunals, forcibly imposed, but
at the discretion-of tlie incendiury torch of the com
mander of Hiiy British cruiser Tho punishment of
snys:—There is no abatement iti tho Jenny Lind fe-j iho commander of the Cormorant is demanded, Ihe
ver. It rages as intensely n* ever. At noon, to-day,
Bishop Hughes visited the cantatrice nt the Irving
House, and shortly afterwards she went to t i e Art
Union rooms with Mr. Illinium, to see specimens of
oqr American paintings. .She is perfectly delighted
with New York, nnd I would not lie at ail surprised
if she decided to settle here, after she porforins her
contract with Barnuni. Site was introduced, during
tl>e forenoon, to the members of tlie press. Let niu
tell you an anecdote of Ji nny, which has not yet been
made public.
After tlie contract between her nnd Ilnriimn wns
" signed, and delivered,” she said to him, " Now, i
Mr. Barr.nm.you may lose in this matter. If, after '
thirty nights’ performances, you should think that
you made a lmd bargain, 1 will divide tlie proceeds
with you every midit afterwards. 1 say this in tho
presence of these witnesses,’’ referring to her attorney
and other persons who were present. This allows
what kind of a woman she i
issue nt tin order against the repetition ol a similar
occurrence; and Hu titer more, a claim of indemnifi
cation ia uigeil lor the damages caused by said cap
lin c and burning. What excites especially tho in-
nigtiatinii ot the Brazilian government is tlie fact
that one of its war vessels was detained and search
ed hy a British steamer, on indignity against which
their nntionpl pride revolted ami which it is dispos
ed to resent.
