. n d our only wonder i«. that any portion of the
Press should have attempted to mislead the pub
lic in regard to the late war in Hungary. It
was a war of races at its commencement; and
in connection with this war of races, was a strug
gle by Kossuth and the Magyars to sustain the
constitution and the ancient aristocratic institu
tions of Hungary in which they were signally
defeated by the Sclaves and the united power
of Rue.-in and Austria. That adversity has
wade Kossuth a Republican, and that he is now,
heart and soul, at work in the cause of Repnbli
canism, we do not doubt. Nor can it he denied
that he is as able and eloquent as he is zealous in
the new cause in which he has embarked, and
in which we sincerely pray for his success, while
we utterly repudiate the idea of any interven
tion in behali ot Hungary by the Government of
the United States.
The writer in the Times having quoted large
ly from English Reviews, we quote the follow
ing from the North American —quite as much
devoted to liberty as Blackwood!!
'‘With a natural feeling of respect for the
gallantries of the Magyars in battle and some
chivalrous points in their character and demean
or, we suppressed, or passed lightly over, many
pages in the record of the shocking barbarities
which they committed, and of the insul ing and
oppressive treatment, continued for centuries,
which at length goaded the r long suffering, sub
ject races into rebellion. Since the fall of the
aristocracies of V enice and Poland, the lYJagyaia
in Hungary, with few exceptions, have been
the most arrogant, cruel, and tyrannical nobility
in Europe. The robber barons of the Middle
Ages did not more fully merit the vengeance
which sometimes overtook them at the hands of
their despairing vassals, then did these semi bar
barous nobles the ruin which has at length be
fallen them They have kept their country
three centuries behind the age, for the sole pur
pose of retaining their odious privileges as an
order and a race. The policy even of Austnan
despotism was liberal and enlightened compa
red with theirs. They were t!.e firmest sup
porters, the pliant instruments and vassals, of
despotism, so long as it would aid them in rivet
ing the chains upon their unhappy subjects
When that aid was withdrawn, they turned
fiercely against the power to which they had so
long submitted without a murmur, and at the
same moment found themselves surrounded, as
with a wall 1 of fire, by their revolted and des
perate vassals, Slowacks and Wallachians, Ger
mans, and Croatians, races, separated from each
other by the widest differences of language,
manners, and religion, were now united by a
common hatred of the Magyars, and fought j
against them with a long restrained thirst for j
vengeance, and with all tic energy of despair, j
The scenes of the war which ensued were sick- |
cuing to humanity, and an approbrium to the :
age. Fortunately, it was of short continuance :
the Magyars were crush d in the unequal con
test, and their fair land is now a scence of deso
lation and ruin

“This tyrannical aristocracy, after actively i
aiding Austria, so late as the summer ol 1848, ;
to trample out the last sparks of freedom in i
Ilaly, at length became dissatisfied, because the
Emperor would not help them to suppress the '
rebellion of their own vassals, and made war \
against him, commencing hostilities by the
shocking murders of Count Latoi.r and Count
Eamberg.— North American Review, January.

SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 28. J

One of the Northern mails due last even- '
ing, came to hand.
To make room for the conclusion of the arti- j
cle from the Courier and Enquirer, in relation
to Kossuth and the Hungarian war, and the .
current news of the day, we are compelled to j
yield the space usually devoted to editorial
matter.
Kossuth’s Speeches. —lt is stated that Gov
ernor Kossuth is making arrangements for the
publication of his speeches, from the period of |
his arrival on board the Mississippi, at the Dar
danelles, to the present time. It is his inten* ,
tion to issue English and German editions, at
various prices, according to the style in w hich
they may he got up. Os these, several hundred
thousand copies will be printftl, and sold in all i
parts of the United States.
Art Union. —The distribution ot the pictuies
belonging to the Art Union has been postponed ?
from Friday evening to the evening of the 31st j
of December, in consequence of the occupation
of Tripler Hall for the purpose of the lawyers’
banquet.
Georgia is the third State in the Union in the
number of miles of Railroads within her borders,
Massachusetts being first and New York second.
It is the sixth State, in the number of square j
miles of territory, the ninth in population and |
the sixth in number of Cotton Factories. In the j
last particular it ranks first among the Southern
States.
Hon. Henry Clay, we learn from Washing
ton, has not resigned his seat in the U. S. Sen
ate, as has been rumored. One ot our intelligent
Washington correspondents, it will be seen, says
that if he should send in his resignation to the
Kentucky Legislature at this term, it will be on
ly to take effect after the close of the present
session.— (Says the Baltimore Sun.)
A Music Crowd.— On Saturday afternoon
there arrived at the Union Place Hotel, in New-
Yorlc, Jenny Lind, Catherine Hajes, Signor
Salvi, Mr. Braham, Signor Belletti, Herr Men
gis, Otto Goldsmith, M. Lavenu, Joseph Burke,
Mr. Loder, and M. Eisfeldt.
(Telegraphed for the Charleston Courier.)
New Orleans. Dec- 23.
Barely two thousand five hundred bales of Cot
ton, were sold on Tuesday at Monday’s decline.
Strict Middling was worth 7j cts. The stock
only amounted to 139,000 bales. Iwo thousand
barrels of Molasses changed hands at 21 cents
for prime.
Later dates from the Rio Grande state, that
Carvajal had a battle with the Mexicans at
Ceralvo, in which he had been victorious, and had
taken all their provisions and ammunition. The
Mexican loss is said to have been heavy. Car
bajal had ten of his men killed, amongst whom
were Lieut. Graham and Captain Chinn. Cap
tain Fucat also was severely wounded.
Carvajal is expected to enter Monterey soon.
New-Orleans, Dec. 24,2.25 P. M.
On Wednesday. 4,500 bales of Cotton were
disposed of. most of which was taken after the
reception of the Baltic’s advices. Prices were
rather easier, but no quotable change took place.
Good middling was worth 7 4 cents. Iwo thous
and bbls.iMolasses were sold at from 20 to 204
cents for prime. Sugar has declined, and r air is
■*
Cotton, this morning, was unsettled, and buy
ers since the reception of the Baltic s advices
have claimed a decline. Consequently no sales
have as yet been effected. ’ ,
The barque Cherokee, Captain Getty, and the
brig Julia Ford, Captain Drinkwater, have ar
rived from Charleston.
Columuia, Dec. 20, 7.30 P. M.
* ery little business has been tran: acted in the
I Cotton market to-day in consequence of the ho
| lulays. Ihe sales were confined, we believe, to
two small lots at from 5£ to ceuts.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock,.a store-house con
taining seventy-five bales of Cotton, situated at
the corner ot Main and Bridge streets, together
With a kitchen and several buildings, were con
sumed by lire. The buildings, which belonged to
Capt. J Lyons, vrere insured. The Cotton,
which was the property of C. P. Sullivan, Esq.,
oi Laurens, is believed to have been uninsured.
Another fire also occurred this evening, at
about twenty minutes past 6 o’clock, at the Sad
dle and Harness Factory of Mr. W. F. Welsh,
situated about half a mile from the town, which,
with its contents, was destroyed. The property,
however, is insured. The calamity is said to
have been occasioned by an accident having oc
curred in the lighting of some fluid lamps.
(From the Petersburg Intelligencer , 25th inst.)
We have just received the following calami
tous intelligence from the Telegraphic Office :
Washington, D. C., Dec. 24—11 J, A. M.
The Capitol was discovered to be on fire by a
watchman about sunrise in the Library of Con
gress, and had then made good headway. The
Engines having been at work the latter part of
the night on another fire. Baker’s Franklin House,
Hose was frozen and unable to work. There
being considerable delaj in getting any of the
engines to work, meanwhile the Library and
Document Room-above were completely burnt
out, consuming probably three-fourths, including
the most valuable portion of the Library. Many
of the books, &c., can never be replaced.
It is the general impression that it caught
from one of the flues connecting with the fur
naces in the main basement of the Capitol.
Speaker Boyd, Mayor, President and others were
early on the ground, and serviceable. At eleven
o’clock all the Fire Companies of Washington
were on hand. The fire is now believed lo be
subdued, not having extended beyond the Li
brary.

Cotton. —The sales to-day are only 180 bales
at Sj to 8] cents. 'I he market is almost at a
stand still.
Augusta Market, December 27—P. M.
COTTON.—Our market remains much in the same
condition as noticed yesterday, with limited sales.—
Holders continue to offer their stocks very sparingly,
oven of the lower grades. We understand 7jand7f
were offered to-day and yesterday for a lot of Good
Middling, and was refused.
SAVANNAH, Dec. 26.— Cotton. —Arrived since the
18th inst., 11,580 bales Upland, (8,542 per Railroad, 2,'.'28
from Augusta, and 100 per wagons,) and 455 bales Sea
Islands. The exports for the same period amount to
10,284 bales Uplands, aud 123 do. Sea Islands, viz: to
Boston 1.428 bales Upland; to Now York 7.479 bales
Upland and 126 do. Sea Islands; to Philadelphia 742
bales Upland ; to Baltimore 480 bales Upland ; and to
Charleston 137 bales Upland—leaving on hand and on
shipboard not cleared, a stock of 35,732 bales Upland,
ami 0.343 do. Sea Island, against 53,817 bales Upland
aud 1,632 do. Sea Islands at the same time last year.
During the week our market has exhibited some vari
ations in prices. Our last weekly report closed with a
firm market. On Friday there was a good enquiry, the
sales amountiug to 1,076 bales, at previous rates. On
Saturday the sales were 524: on Monday 600; and Tues
day foreuoon34s. Up to this time the market had been
quiet with a rather limited demand. At noon on Tues
day, the telegraph announced the arrival of the Euro
pe, aud that the Liverpool market had declined an
eighth of a penny in consequence of the exciting politi
cal news front France; this news had the effect to sus
pend operations in our market for the remainder of the
day. On Wednesday there were some transactions at a
decline of about jc.’, but the market was again disturb
ed by three days later intelligence from Europe by the
Baltic. The sales on Wednesday were but 253 bales.
Thursday being Christmas day, there was no business
done, and this morning there seems to be no disposition
to operate in consequence of the want of full advices—
the Northern mail having failed for four days, said to
is be detained by ice in the Potomac ltivor. The market
so much unsettled, that we are unable to give any quo
tations.
The sales of the week amount to 2.583 bales, particu
lars as follows: 42 at 74; 43 at 7R 70 at 7jj; 125 at 7j;
121 at 74; 172 at 7?; 12 at 7 13-16; 170 at 7f; 517 at 8;
486 at Bjj; 73 at 8 3-16; 511 at B,}; 143 at 8 5-16; 395at8jj,
and 8 bales choice at 9 cents.
Flour. —We hear of sales of a small quantity of
Baltimore at $4,87J. The market is well supplied and
there is a fair demand.
Corn. —There has been a better demand for this arti
cle during the past week than for several weeks pre
vious. We hoar of sales of 930 bushels, at prices not
made known: 400 bushels prime white, at 75 cts. cash,
and 200 do. at 77 cts.
Salt. —The cargo noticed in our last as just arrived,
consisting of 5,000 sacks, common Liverpool, has been
sold at 87j, It is scarce, there being none now in first
hands.
Molasses. —There have been no arrivals of Cuba
within the week. The last cargo sale was at 20 cts.
Hay. —There is very little doing in this article. We
have heard of no large transactions, the demand being
confined altogether to retail transactions.
Exchange. —Sterling 9J prern. Domestic —the Banks
arc selling Sight Checks on all Northern cities at J cent
preiu.; and purchasing sight to 5 clay bills at jc. prem.;
30 day bills, j, a Jc. dis.; 00 days 1 j a lsc. dis.; and 90
days 2) discount.
Freights —We quote to Liverpool dull at 5-16 d.
Oue ship is loading for Havre Jc., and one vessel has
been taken up for Glasgow at sd. for Cotton; to
Boston, g for Cotton ; to New York 5-16 for Cotton,
$1 for Rice ; to Philadelphia jj for Cotton. $1 for Rice ;
to Baltimore 7-16th for Cotton ; to Providence 7-16 for
Cotton and $1 for Rice.
CHARLESTON, Doe. 27. — Cotton. —The interruption
iu the channels of communication, caused by the non
arrival of the mail, and the injury sustained to the tel
egraphic wires, prompted buyers in a great measure to
withdraw, and operations were partially suspended
throughout Friday, Saturday and Monday last, which
resulted in a languid and depressed market. This agent
was in successful operation on Tuesday, and furnished
us with the unfavorable accounts brought over by the
Europa. and subsequently those by the Baltic, when
holders, yielding to circumstances they could not con
trol, met purchasers at very heavy sacrifices. During
Tuesday and Wednesday the sales showed a good deal of
Irregularity in prices, but at the close of business on
the latter day. a decline of j a Jc. was established on
the prices current at the highest point of the market of
the previous week. Thursday was Christmas day and
nothing was done.
The market opened on Friday with a tolerably fair
demand, but holders were asking an advance on former
transactions, predicated on the favorable turn that pri*
pas bad taken in New York at the last advices from that
city, but buvers refused to come to terms, aud with
drew, the sales consequently were limited. The few
transactions made indicated as low a range of prices as
were previously submitted to, and the market as much
unsettled as it was at that time. The position of the
market at the close of the week, and the receipt last
evening of rather unfavorable advices by the Canada,
have determined us to withhold quotations for the pres
ent, as we are fjriply convinced that none that we could
Offer would give a true index to the state of the market.
The sales since our last report may be estimated as fol
lows, viz : Friday, 600 bales; Saturday, 357 ; Monday,
352: Tuesday, 511; Wednesday, 644; and Friday, oflO.V
making an aggregate of 3.034 bales at the following
particulars, viz :-.-13 bales at 6j ; 20 at 6j ; 72 at 7 ; 17 at
71 j )4at7f; 51 at 7.); 84at7f; 155 at 7}; 169 at 7|;
172 at 7 15-16 ; 761 at 8 ; 325 at 8j ; 52 at 8 3-16 ; 533 at
