AUGUSTA, GA:
TUE3DAY MORNING OCT. 28.
Distressing Casualty,
It is with deep regret we record the death
of Master William H. Fleming, of Colum
bia county, by the accidental discharge of his
gun. We understand that he was out hunting
on Friday night and had bis gun on his shoul
der with the breech in front. With his gun in
this position, he started to run down a hill, and
accidentally stumbled, which thiew the breech
of his gun forward, and when it came in con
tact with the ground caused his gun to go off,
discharging the oontents in his left breast, im*
mediate’y through the heart.
We deeply sympathise with his bereaved
parents at his untimely and sudden death.
Beautiful Car.
Wk had the pleasure last evening of view
ing one of the most beautiful and highly fin
ished cars, just turned out of the Georgia
Railroad shop, that we ever looked at. A!I its
timbers are of Georgia growth. The seats
aro made of Walnut, and look nearly, or quite
as well .those made of Mahogany. On one
side is a beautiful view of the City Hall of
Augusta, and of the Stone Mountain as you
pass it on the Georgia Railroad; and on the
other a fine northern view of the same Moun
tain, and a beautiful view of the Macon Female
College. The painting is executed in the
finest style. The car will seat seventy-six
persons quite comfortably—and reflects the
highest credit upon the company, both for i s
beauty and finish.
We understand it is'o leave this morning
for the Fair at Macon, where we are sure it will
take the premium.
The Winnsboro Register of Saturday says:
Black frost was discovered in various sec
tiousofthe town, and throughout the neigh
boring country yesterday morning. Cotton
and pea vines show evident marks of its with
ering influence.
We learn by passengers who came on the
s'eamsr Fremont yesterday, that afire occur
red at Cahawba oa Wednesday night last, by
which a warehouse and several thousand bales
of cotton were consumed. —Montgomery Jour
nal, 25 1 k inst.
Guano on Tobacco Land —lt has been
established beyond controversy that guano is
the best aid that can be applied to wheat and
corn, but we were not aware that it was so
peculiarly adapted to the growth of tobacco.
A gentleman in Louisa, who is largely engag
ed in the growth of the tobacco plant, made
an experiment the last season, and he has sat
isfied himself most thoroughly of its entire
adaptation to the growth of that crop. This
is a matter of very considerable importance,
as thousands of acres of ttia old tobacco land,
iin Virginia may be reclaimed.— Frederick's
Herald.
A Fatal Just —A young lady in one of
tha seminaries of New York recently indulg
ed in the pleasantry of lightening a school
mate, by appearing before her in the
solemn dress of the grave. So perfect was
the deception so terrible was the shock, that
the frightened yourg lady fell senseless to the
floor and has not yet recovered her reason.
It is feared that she is a maniac for life.

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas there is reason to believe that a
military expedition is about to be fitted out in
the United States for the purpose of invading
the Mexican Republic, with which this country
at peace; and whereas there is reason to ap
prehend that a portion of the people of this
country, regardless of their duties as good cit.
izens.. are concerned in or may be seduced to
take part in the same ; and whereas such en
terprises tend to degrade the character of the
United States in the opinion of the civilized
world, and are expressly prohibited by law :
Now, therefore, I have issued this my pro
clamation, warning all persons who shall con
nect themselves wiih any such enterprise, in
violation of the laws and national obligations
of the United States, that they will thereby
sabject themselves to the heavy penalties de
nounced against such offences ; that if they
should be captored within the jurisdiction of
the Mexican authorities, they must expect to
be tried and punished according to the laws of
Mexicoiand will have no right to claim the in
terposiu 4 \of this Government in their behalf.
1 therefore exhort all well disposed citizens
who have at heart the reputation of their
country, and are animated with a just regard
f.»r i's laws, its peace, and its welfare, to dis
countenance, and by all lawful means prevent,
any such enterprise; and I call upon every
officer of this Government, civil or military,
to be vigilant in arresting for trial and punish
ment every snch offender.

Rain, Lightnixo and Fisk !—On Saturday
night we bad a thunder shower sufficient to
lay the dust and cool the atmosphere,and quite
acceptable after two months of dry weather.
During the rain, the stable of Mr. Smith Brad
ley, on the Andersen uroad, in this District,
was struck with lightning, a fine mare killed,
and the stable set on fire by the flash, and
entirely consumed, together with some 10,-
000 bundles of fodder, and a small quantity
of corn. Mr. Bradley's loss is near 9500.
The fire burned so fiercely that it lit up our
town, though five miles distant, and caused
the alarm of fire to be given, and the fire bell
to be rung.

Frost. —Our vicinity was visited last night
by a frost of considerable severity, and those
who were np before the sun describe it as re
sembling a light fall of snow. As the weather
had undergone a change of twenty or more
degrees within the proceeding twenty-four
hours, we have no doubt the frost extended
far beyond our neighborhood, in which ease
we may safely conclude that growing is over

Arrest or Mr. Thrasher at Havana.—
Advices from Havana to the ldih inst. brought
by the Empire City at New Orleans on the
2*2nd, states that Mr. Thrasher, late editor of
the Faro Industrial, the American who admin
istered to the wants of the Cuban prisoners,
was arrested at Havana on the 15th, on some
unknown charge. His papers were seized :
and he was not allowed to communicate with
his friends. He was not committed to prison,
but confined to his own residence and closely
watched by the Commissary of Police. This
arrest of Mr. Thrasher probably grew out of
an affair noted as follows:
In reply to a letter of Mr. Thrasher, denying
all knowledge of the pretended declaration of
independence, issued in the name of the peo
ple of Cuba, the New Orleans Delta of a late
date says :
“Mr. Thrasher, in a eard in the Cresent,
denies that he sent us the Declaration of lude-
Eendence of Puerto Principe, published in the
lelta. There is some mistake io this matter.
It was certainly handed to us by a gentleman,
who assured ns it was from Mr. Thrasher,
with the request to have it translated and pub
lished. That gentleman is now absent from
the city, and we shall have to wait his return
to hear bis explanation of it.”
If it had been true that this declaration was
forwarded to New Orleans by Mr. Thrasher,
we can imagine nothing more impolitic than
to exposo him to the vengeance of the Spanish
government. If the charge of the Delta can
be substantiated, Mr. Thrasher will answer
for it with his life perhaps, it has already ex
posed him to suspicion and annoyance
We notice, in connection with this matter,
that L.* G. Sigur publishes a letter in the
Savannah News, of Monday, from Count
de Pozos Duices, at Havana, in regard to a
request made of him by Gen. Lopez, his broth
in-law, in his latest meutents,which does honor
to the fallen chief. The letter says :
“ I was permuted to confer with him in pri
son a sow moments before his death. He re
quested me—aDd mentioned it several times—
(msistia repe'.idas voces) —that I should ask
you, ee a last to place tho trunk of pa
pers, letters, &c., which he left with you in
my possession, so that 1 might destroy such as
relate to his expeditions to this island, of a
character to compromise in the least any per
son connected with these enterprises.”

donation for the familes of the killed and
wounded in the late encounte s with the inva
ders of the island, had reached the sunt of

A Horse without Hair !—An extraordinary
phenomenon, in the way of “horse flesh,” was
brought to town yesterday afternoon by the
steamer Gordon. It is a mare, captured on
the plains of Venezuela by a party of American
hunters, headed by the v ell known traveller,
Juan Persy, and Capt. Hall. She is 15j hands
high, of groat beauty and symmetry, and with
out one particle of hair on any part of tho
body. The skin resembles India rubber, and
is as soft almost as volvet.
The owner of this singular animal is now on
his way to Macon, where he intends to exhibit
her at Ibe approaching Fair. From Mw>on ho
will return to this place, when those of oui
people who are curie us in such things wi lhave
an opportunity to see her. She will spend the
wiuter at the South, as it will be rather cold to
return to the North, from whence ha brought
her, in her present hairless condition.— Sao.

Thunder Storm. —We had, yesterday fore
noon, a smart thunder storm, which, consider
ing the lateness of the season, and the coolaees
of the day, must be set down among the re
markable phenomena of the season. More
over it was not mere brutum fultnen,or empty
thunder, but made some sensible demonstra
tions about the city. The telegraph c Alice was
lighted up in a manner, more brilliant than
agreeable, though no particular mis hies was
done. The residence of A J. Browning, E«q.
in Pitt, near Beaufain street, was struck, and
considerably injured. The ciroumstances a r o
somewhat curiors. The family were, at the
time, at Church.
The lightning seems o have entered through
a glass door, opening on the piazzt, of the se
cond s’ory. and comm unioaing with a smalt
bathing room. The inward door, a panelled
one, as well as the plastering near it, were
very much shattered—the door being torn
from its hinges, and the lower portion of it
knockrd to pieces. Beyond this no traces of
the lightning could be discovered. The bouse

AUGUSTA, GA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 1851,
ESCAPE OF MRS. KOSSUTH.
AN AUTHENTIC) NARRATIVE.
During the month of August, 1848, the
President Governor of Hungary, Louis Kos
suth, with the principal officers of his provis
ional government, were in the fortified town
of Arad, on the river Maroseh. Between that
place and the town of Zegadin, on the Tisch,
in the vicinity of Arad, Georcey, with the
Hungarian troops under his command, lay
encamped : while behind him, towards the
Tisch, was the Russian army of reserve, un
der Paekiewitch. Dembenski, with his men,
besieged Temeswar, and he had already car
ried its third wall. Between him and the
Tisch lay the united Austro Russian Forces.
The army of Bern bad been defeated at Her
manstadtby the Russian General, Ludera, and
he had fled with a small band of faithful fol
lowers toward Temeswar.
With this position of the combatants, the
plan of Dembmski was to unite with Geor
gey, near Arad, and then to attack the Rnasian
forces. Before this was effected news reach
ed him of the capitulation of Georgey, and
that the Governor, M. Kossuth, had been
compelled to forsake Arad, and retire to the
town of Vilagos. Before leaving Arad, the
Governor separated from bia wife aud chil
dren, and their par'ing scene is said to have
been one of the most touching nature. Un
der the circumstances of the moment, it was
a subject of more even than doubt whether
they would ever meet on earth. It was only
when a young Hungarian noblemen, named
Asbbot, now in exile in Kutayieh wiih M
Kossuth, solemnly swore to his wife that he
would never leave her husband, that Madame
Kossuth consented to be separated from him
and seek safety in flight. The children were
confided to the care of a private secretiry of
the Governor, and this individual subsequent
ly delivered them up to the tender mercies of
fjayn&u, for the purpose of securing his own
pardon and safe'y. The children set out be
tore their mother, and the latter in her flight
endeavored to keep at least so near to them as
to heir now and then of their safety.
Madame Kossuth s< ught out a brother of
hers, residing in the town of Villages, and
he is now imprisoned in the fortress Comorn,
withntany others of the unfortunate Hun
garian patriots, for eighteen years, no account
of the succor which he then gave to his siater.
Leaving him, she next went in search of her
children, end wandered to a pesta or farm
house, Boeksak belonging to a relative. There
she fell ill of a Typus fever, which nearly
ended her life ; and when so far recovered as
to be able again to travel, she continued her
joorney in search of her children. She soon
learned that they had been given up by their
protector to the Austrian General, lleynau,
aud taken to Pesth. Her own safety depen
ded wholly upon the fidelity of the Hungarian
peasants, and on their attachment to her hus
band.
Now having no other object in view than
her own safety, without friends better off
than herself, she soon became reduced to a
state of complete destitution. In disguise she
wandered over the most miserable part of
Hungary. She even, as a means of safety as
well as aupfuirt, ...gki for Mf*M. mm Mmal,
and by telling that she was a poor woman,
who had just been discharged from a public
hospital—whi6h, indeed, she very much re
sembled—was so fortunate as to find employ*
meat iu the family of an bumble carpener, in
the town of Orasb Haya, who little thought
be was served by the tady of Louis Kosrutb,
the late Governor of Hungary. Everywhere
notices were exposed in the streets offering
forty thousand florins for her cap'ure, and
proclaiming death as the punishment of the
person who should dare to harbour or conceal
her from the authorities.
Among the persons who fled with M Kos
suth before the overwhelming number of h's
enemies, was an olderly lady, whom it is
necessary to designate as Madame L ——,
and who, from being unable to ride as fast and
as long as those who were stronger and young
er than herself, soon became exhausted, and
was left behind. She had a son, a Major in
ths Hungarian army, near the person of the
Governor, and both son and mother were
warmly attached to his interests. Madame
L . when unable to proceed longer with
the fugitives, in order to reach a place of safe
ty in the dominions of the Sultan of Turkey,
determined to remain in Hungary, and devote
herself to the finding of Madame Kossuth and
restoring her to her husband
tior this benevolent purpose, Madame
L disguised herself as a beggar, and
after a long and weary journey, oftener on
fool than in any conveyance, she crossed the
vast sandy plains of Southern Hungary aud
at length reached the place in which Kossuth’s
children were but could hear nothing of their
mother.
She learned that the children had been sent,
soon after their mother had lost sight of them,
to the house of General G——, now in the
service of the Sultan in Syria, to be kept with
his own three children, hoping that they would
thus be screened from those who sought after
them. The eldest, named Louis after his
father, was seven years of age; and all were
told that if they acknowledged they were the
children of the Governor, thsy would be im
prisoned by the Austrians, and never see their
parents again. So that when an Austrian
officertraeed them to the house of General
G —, he was at a lose to know which of
the children were those of General G ■,
and which those of M. Kossuth; and ap
proaching the eldest of the latter, he sai<l i—
“So my little man you are the son of the
Goveraor I”
To which the youth replied, ”1 am hot sir l”
His firmness surprised and vexed the officer,
who was certain ftom the statement of their be
trayer, that these before him were the long lost
treasure of his ambitious search. He now en
deavoured to frighten the children, and, draw
ing a pistol, directed it to the breast of the boy,
and said that if he did not at once acknowledge
that he was the son of Kossuth, he would put
a ball though his heart. Young Louis—who, it
is said, shows himself nowin exile at Kutayieh,
much of the character of his father—replied in a
tone equally firm:
"I tell you, sir, I am not the son of Kos
suth.”
The officer baffled by the child’s simplicity of
manner and apparent sincerity, was divested of
his convictions, and led to believe that he ha J
been imposed upon.
But before Madame L could get near
them, other agents of the Austrian Government
had been more successful, and the three children
had been carried off in secret to Pesth, near the
clutches of the butcher Haynau. The moth
er and sister of M Kossuth had also been
ruptured and placed in strict confinement.
It may be here mentioned, in this little narra
tive of the sufferings and deliverance of the rel
atives of Louis Kossuth, that Madame L ,
on finding where and how her children were situ
ated, found out her own maid-servant, and so
succeeded as to have her engaged at Pesth as
their nurse. This person never left them until
the moment of their final deliverance from their
Austrian jailers was arrived. After thus having
provided for the welfare of the children of M.
Kossuth, Madame L renewed her search
for their destitute, suffering mother.
Finding no trace of har, Madame L—— de
termined to follow the fugitives, and if she
reached Widdin, to ascertain from M. Kosauth
himself, where his poor wife had gone, and then
return, in search other. Continuing in the dis
guise of a beggar, sometimes on foot, at others
in a farmer’s cart, this heroic woman reached
the frontiers of Hungary, and, crossing them,
entered the fortified and walled town of Wid
din, where the late governor of Hungary and
his brave unfortunate companions were, enjoy
ing the protection and hospitality of the Sul
tan of Turkey. Madame L applied to M.
Kossuth, butnotbeing known to him personally,
and the Austrian General having set so high a
price on the capture of his wife, he at first re
garded her in the light of an Austrian spy.
Having, however, soon found her son, who had
followed the Governor into Turkey, he readily
conviuced M. Kossuth of tho identity of his
mother. All the information which M. Kossuth
could give her was, that there was a lady in
Hungary in whose house he believed his wife
wou’d seek a refuge: and if she was not still
there, this lady would most probably know
where she was.
The Governor now furnished Madame L
with Vetter to this lady, and another with his
own signet-ring for his wife, which would be
evidence of fidelity. It is not here necessary to
follow Modame L on her toilsome jour
ney. Devoted to the philanthropic work which
she had undjrtaken, she wandered over the san
dy steppeß of Hungary, until she succeeded in
reaching the little town in which the lady resid
ed, and delivered to her M. Kossuth’s letter.
This she read, and immediately burned it, not
daring even to allow it to exist in her pusses
sios. This lady informed Madame L that
the wiie of Governor Kossuth had left her resi
dence in tho guise of a mendicant, and intend
ed assuming the name of Maria F n; that
she was to feign herself to be the widow of a sol
dier who had fallen in battle, and that if possible,
she would go to the very center of Hungary,
in those vast pasture lands, where Bhe hoped no
one would seek after her.
With this information, Madame L again
resumed her journey. She feigned to be an
aged grandmother, whose grandson was mis
sing, and that she was in search of him. She
made many narrow escapes while passing
guardr. soldiers, and spies: at length she reach
ed tho plains before mentioned. She went
from house to house, as if in search of her
grands m, but in reality to find one who would
answe. the description given of her poor Mari*
F n. At length, in a cabin, she heard that
name mentioned, and on inquiry who and what
that person was, learned that the was the widow
of a Hungarian soldier who had fallen in battle,
and that sho had a child, who was with its grand
parents. They then described her person, but
added that she had suffered so much from ill
ness and grief, that she was greatly changed.
“ Before she came here,” said the speaker, “she
worked for her bread, even when ill; but after
her arrival, 6he became too much indisposed to
labor, on account of which they sent to the
Sistors of Charity for a physician, who came,
bled and blistered her ; v hen she was able to
go, she bad been conveyed to the institution of
tho Sisters, where she then was.” Madame
L———, feeling that the poor sufiorer must be
none other than the object of her search, ex
pressed a desire to visit her.
At the Sisters of Charity, Madamo L—■■ had
much difficulty in procuring access to Maria, and
the latter was as much opposed to receiving her.
At length Madamo L told the Sisters to In
form her that she had a message for her from
her husUmd, who was not dead as she had sup*
fiosed, and that she would soon convince her,
t she would pornui her to enter. Poor Math,
between fear a-id hope, gave her consent, and
Madame L was allowed to see her. Mad
ame L handed her the letter of Governor
Kossuth. Sho recognised, atonce, tho writing ;
kissed it; pressed it to her heart; devoured its
contents, and then destroyed it immediately.
Soon a story was made up between the two fe
males ; they told the Sisters of Charity that
Maria’s husband ( stili lived,* and that she would
rejoin him- A little wagon was procured ; as
many comforts were put in it as could be had
without suspicion: and these two interesting
women set out on their escape from the enemies
«f their country.*
Madame L had a relative in Hungary
who had not been compromised in the war; so
this person arranged to meet the ladies at a given
place and in tho character of a merchant, trav
eled with them. After they hid left the pasture
grounds, he passed as the husband of “Maria, ”
and the elder female as his aunt. At night they
stopped at a village, and were suspected on ac
count of the females occupying the bed, while
he slept at the door. 1 hey started early in the
morning, and the “husband” remained behind to
learn something more of the suspicions to which
their conduct had given rise. Ho again over
took them, as they had stopped to feed their
horse, and bade them bo greatly on their guard.
In tho evening, while the two ladies were sit
ting together in a miserably cold room, the face
of poor Maria so muffled up as to conceal her
features, and induce the belief she was suffering
from her teeth, both appearing much as persons
in great poverty, overcome by her afflictions,
Maria had a nervous attack, and talked and
laughed so loud, that her voice was recognised
by an Austrian officer who happened to be in the
house. This person sent a servant to ask them
to come into the room, where there was a fire
Madame L inquired tho name of the
good gentleman who had the kindness to invite
them to his room, and when she heard it,
Maria recognised in him a deadly enemy of her
husband. While they were planning a means of
evading him, the officer himself came into their
apartmenu immediately arising, they made an
humble courtesy in so awkward a manner as to
divest him of all suspicion. Madame L
spoke and thanked him again and again for his
kindness, but added that such poor creatures as
they, were not fit to go into his room. So soon
as the officer retired Maria had another attack,
which would certainly have be rayed them, had
he been present. Madame L—— implored her
to be composed else they would be loßt.
Starting again, they were not molested until
in the evening, when they were apprehended and
conducted by two policemen before a magistrate.
There the iormsr spoke of them as suspicions
characters ; but thev were not told of what they
were suspected. Whiie the examination was
going on, Madame L slipped • bank note
into the hand of tho superior of tfie two police
men. This bribe quite changed the afiair; two
men became their friends, excited the pity of the
magistrate in their favor, and they were allowed
to depart. Thus they went on from station
to station, until they reached the frontiers of
Hungary, near the Danube. They entered the
little Saubin and asked permission of the head of
the police to pass over the river to Belgrade.
This was refused, until they said they wished to
go there for a certain medisine for a daughter
•It is not known bv what route the ladies
reached the capital of Hungary | but it is certain
that, snpposing their presence would not be sus
pected at Peeth, they heroically proceeded to
that city, then in possession of General Haynau.
11 has since then become a source of pride to both
to both of them, that they, safe in their disguise,
passed that celebrated military butcher in the
streets of Pesth. Among the letters which this
lady was charged by the exiles of Widden, was
one for the lamented martyr of Hungary, Count
Calsmir Bathiany, then confined in the prison of
the city, waiting the cruel fate to which the
butcher had subjected him. When it was de
cided that he should be ignominiously put to
death by the hangman’s rope, that excellent and
mild Hungarian patriot endeavored to put an
end to his own existence with a razor ilbut un
fortunately, not succeeding, Haynau dragged
his mutilated and bleeding body from the prison
and ended his life on the gallows The letter
which Madame L— —— bad for him was from
his brother, who had escaped into Turkey with
M.Kossuth; and she had the satisfaction of
causing it. through the venality of his jailors, to
be placed in the hands of thesuiierer, to whom
it wss no little sourco of consolation to know
that his brother lived in safety.
who-was ill, and that they would leave their
passports as a security. He then gave his con
sent, and they crossed the Danube, and entered
the dominions of the Sultan of Turkey.
It was night when they entered Belgrado.
They knocked at the door of the Sardinian Con
sul, who had recently been stationed in that
frontier town by his king, whose whole heart
sympathized 1r the Hungarian cause, and who
formed a friendly alliance with M. Kossuth for
the freedom of Italy and Hungary. The Consul
had been advfeed by. M. Kossuth that two fe
males would seek his protection, but not know
ing them, he inquired what they wished 1
Madame L—replied, “Lodging aud bread.”
He invited them in, and Madame L intro
duced him to Made Kossuth, the lady of the lsto
Governor of Hungary.
It will readily be conceived tkat the Consul
could scarcely believe that these two miserable
beings were the persons they represented them
selves to be. Madame Kossuth convinced him
by showing him the signet-ring of her husband.
In his house Madame Kossuth fell ill, but receiv
ed every possible kindness from her host. They
learned that all the Hungarians and Poles had
been removed from Widdin to Shumla; and,
notwithstanding that it was in the midst of a
set ere winter, they decided upon proceeding at
once to the latter place. The Sardinian Consul
applied to the generous and very liberal Prince
of Servia, in whose principality Belgrade is, for
his assistance in behalf of the ladies, and in the
most hospitable and fearless manner he provided
them with his own carriage and four horses,
and an escort; and in this way they started
through the snow for Shumla. Their journey
was without any apprehension of danger, for the
British Consul-General at Belgrade, Mr. F ,
had provided the party with a passport as Brit
ish subjects, under the assumed names of Mr.
Mrs. and Miss Bloomfield ; yet the severity of
the weather was such that Madame Kossuth,
In the ill state of her health, suffered very much.
Often the snow was as deep as the breast of the
horses, and not nnfrequently four oxen had to
be attached to the carriage in their places. A
journey, which in summer would have requir
ed but a few days, now was made in twenty
eight.
On the twenty-eighth day a courier was sent
in advance of them, to apprise Governor Kossuth
of their approach. He was ill; and, moreover,
on account of the many plans ol the Austrians
to assassinate him, the Sultan’s authorities could
not allow him to leave Shumla, and go to meet
his wife. The news of her deliverance, and her
approach, occasioned the liveliest satisfaction to
all the refugees ; and the Hungarians and Poles
went as far as the gates of the city to meet this
heroic martyr of the cause of Hungary. It was
night when the carriage neared the city ; and as
it entered the gates, cite found the streets light
ed up with hundreds of lights, green, white, and
red, the colours of tho Hungarian flag, and was
welcomed with the most friendly shouts from
tho whole body of the refugees.
When Madame Kossuth descended from her
carriage, she found herself in the presence of
her husband, who had risen from his bed of
illness to receive the poor “ Maria F ”
of tho plains of Hungary. In piece of receiving
her in his arms, M. Kossuth, overcome by feel
ings of admiration for the sufferings which his
wile had undergone, and by gratilutde for her
devotion to the cause of her country, throw him
self at her feet and kissed them. She endeav
oured to speak and offer her husband consolation
and tranquily, while her own poor feeble heart
wa&ready to burst with emotion. Her voice
failed her, and, amid the reiterated Bhouts of the
Hungarians and Poles, this heroic woman was
carried to her husband’s apartments.
♦ *••••
In March of the past year, some seventy per
sons—the chelf of the Hungarian refugees,
among whom were also several Poles—were
conveyed in one of the steamers of the Sultan
of Turkey to the place designated for their fu
ture residence in As ! a Minor. From fhumla
they travelled by land to Varna, on the Black
Sea j from thence they were taken in the steam
er to Ghemilk, in the Gulf of Madanich, in tho
sea of Marmora, without being allowed to stop
at Constantinople. They crossed from that
place to Broosa, at the foot of Mount Olympus;
and, alter a short delay there, agitated by hopes
and fears, they continued on to Kutayieh, where
they all still are, Madame Kossuth is with her
husband, and greatly through tho labours of
Madame L , who undertook another jour
ney into Hungary for this purpose, she now also
has her children with her. Among the individ
uals who persist in remaining at Kutayieh with
the Ex-Governor of Hungary and his lady, are
Madame L , and the relative who, during
the dangerous wanderings in Hungary, figured
as her husband. Many of the refugees are but
ill provided for. The amount which the Turkish
Government allows M. Kossuth for his subsist
ence is insufficient tor the support of so many
persons. It is a well known fact that the dura
tion of the detension of M. Kossuth depends
wholly upon the Sultan, whose protection was
so generously and so effectively granted to the
refugees. It is also known that the Sultan has
refused to detain him for a longer period than
one year, and that this period ends within the
month of May of the present year. To detain
him beyond that period will be to assume a re
poneil ility in the eyes of the world which will
weigh heavily upon the character of the Sultan,
who has, thus far, possessed the sympathy and
the admiration of all well-thinking men on both I
sides of the Atlantic. Wo would invoke that I
generous prince to carry out what ho had so
successfully begun; and to permit Kossuth and
his unfortunate companions to seek a home in
the distant New World, where they cannot, even
should they desire it, which we disbelieve, dis
turb the tranquility of Austria, and where as
sassins can never molest them. In the United
States they will all find a hearty welcome; and
in the paths as private life each will find that
symathy and assistance to which their patriot*
ism and their sufferings so strongly entitle them.
