hungary-kossuth.
Rome—the Eternal City—tho Mother of
,e World— despite the self-sacrificing val
mr of her brave defenders, lias fallen into
lie power of tho myrmidons of Napoleon le
rulit) Venice —the beautiful Daughter of
l ie cj ea —has, probably, ere this, been re
luced again to subjection to tbfi tyranny of
Austria; Sardinia and Lombardy are no
on ,r er even nominally line; Sicily has
necklv bowed her neck to the yoke of the
vraut of Naples; France, with her muzzled
•rcss and her closed club-rooms, has lost
til her Republicanism except the name; and
ill eyes are now turned towards the forlorn
hope of European liberty—Hungary—and
her noble chief, Ludwig Kossuth.
At this time, every fact relative to Hun
gary and her people, that can be ascertain
ed, possesses a high degree of interest. If
lungary falls, the triumph of the party of
le-action will seem complete. All South
ern and Central Europe will be at the lner
v of Absolutism.
Will Hungary be able successfully to re
sist tlic combined forces of Austria and Rus
sia, now pouring down upon her, on every
side, or will she, after a brief and glorious,
but bootless struggle, against overwhelming
numbers, be again forced to wear the yoke
of a foreign tyrant r We cannot answer the
question. Wc await the developments of
the future. We hope, almost against hope,
that the barbarous hosts of the Czar will be
beaten back, or find their graves in the land
of the Magyars. Hungary is more than a
match for Austria alone, as she has proved
to the satisfaction of the world and of Aus
tria herself. Will France and England look
coldly on and see the “ Emperor of all the
Russias,” interfering in a quarrel not his
own, finally plant his iron heel upon the
breast of prostrate Hungary ? Appear
ances seem to indicate that not a voice will
be raised in protestation, in any quarter
from which it might come with power. Eng
land is neutral and quiescent—France has
thrown herself into the balance, on the side
of Despotism. Hungary must work out her
own salvation, or be lost.
We will present bore a few facts, gleaned
from various sources, in relation to the pres
ent condition and resources of Hungary.
Hungary is bounded ou the north by tlie
Carpathian Mountains, on the east by Tran
sylvania and Wallachia, on the south by
Turkey, Sclavonic and Crotia, and on the
west by a part of Germany. In extent, it is
about four times as large ns the State ot
Georgia, its population is said to be about
12,000,000, composed as follows:
Magyarians, 4,900,000
•Selavouiuns, 5,000,000
Wallaehians, 1,000,000
Germans, 1,000,000
.Tews, 275,000
Gipsies, 50,000
The Scluvonian population is the most nu
merous, but the Magyars—the original Hun
garians—are the dominant race. They com
prise the nobility of the country, and are
said to be far superior to the other races,
hotli physically and intellectually. The
Sclavonians perform most of the servile la
bor.
Hungary was not a province of Austria —
and the Emperor of Austria, in becoming
King of Hungary, bound himself to abide
by all the requisitions of the Hungarian
Constitution. The Government of Austria
attempted to subvert this Constitution, ami
the result is the present war. The sympa
thies of every lover of freedom must be with
tile struggling people of Hungary. Thus
fur, they have shown themselves equal to
every emergency. We trust they will be
found true to the end.
Ludwig Kossuth, the most celebrated
among the leaders of the Hungarians, was
educated as a lawyer, but was for many
years principally known as a journalist.—
In this capacity, he was persecuted for his
defence of some yonng men, accused cf high
treason. He Was arrested and condemned,
and suffered a long imprisonment. “ After
his liberation, he appeared ns the promoter
of many plans for the improvement of his
country. In IHI7, he was elected Deputy
to the Diet, and became leader of the Oppo
sition.” On the 14th of April, after the
breaking out of the war, lie was elected Go
vernor of Hungary. His influence over all
classes of his countrymen, is almost un
bounded. He is very eloquent, and inspires
with the greatest enthusiasm all who hear
him speak. If any man can lead Hungary
■ ifelv through the difficulties of this trying
time, that man is Ludwig Kossuth.
When Hungary was first invaded by Jel
laoliich, in September last, Kossuth issued
a most eloquent and patriotic proclamation,
which seemed to electrify his chivalric coun
trymen. It closes in the following sublime
strain : “ Between Vcsprinn and Weissen
burg, the women shall dig a deep grave, in
which we will bury the name, the honor,
the nation of Hungary, or our enemies.—
And on this grave shall stand a monument,
inscribed with a record of our shame, ‘So
God punishes cowardice or we will plant
on it the tree of freedom, eternally green,
from out of whoso foliage shall be heard the
voice of G oil speaking, as from the fiery bush
to Moses, ‘ The spot on which thou standest
is holy ground ; thus do I reward the brave.’
To tlie Magyars, freedom, renown, well-be
ing and happiness.” *
Or#- We understand that the various Min
eral Springs and other places of Summer re
sort, in the upper country, arc unusually
crowded with visitors, at the present time.
” c are glad to hear this, as our upper
country deserves to be better known.

Hydropathy.
The efficacy of the Water-Cure was put to
a novel test, not long since, iu Boston.—
There was a tumultuous assemblage in South
street, which the policy were unable to dis
perse. The excitement was great, and re
sults of the most serious character were
threatened. Wlmt did the authorities do :
Did they call out the military ? No, they
did uo such thing, hut like good Ilydropa
tliists, as they doubtless are, they called out
Engine Company, No. 20, who affixed their
hose to a hydrant and gave the rioters a
dose of Cochituate, which dispersed them in
about a minute. Hurrah for Cold Water !
In whom do yon Believe ?
A school teacher, somewhere in Tennes
see, in preparing his school for the usual
quarterly examination, selected a class of
his pupils, arid, to make himself sure of a
successful performance on tlicir part, ar
ranged them in a certain order, and then
wrote down for each the question ho intend
ed to put to him, with the proper answer.
The day of examination came, and all the
members of the class were present, except
one. All went on perfectly to the teacher’s
satisfaction, till he came to the question in
tended for the absent pupil. Not noticing
his absence, lie asked —
“In whom do you believe?”
“General Jackson,” said flic next boy,
giving the answer to his own question!
“ Oh ! no,” said the teacher, hastily, see
ing the mistake, and hoping to avoid the
detection of his plot, “ Oh ! no : you believe
in the Holy Ghost—don’t you ?”
“ Xo,” replied the unsophisticated urchin,
“ the boy what believes in the Hedy Ghost
didn't come to school to-day
This reply elicited roars of laughter, du
ring the continuance of which, the teacher
left, lie has not been seen in that region
since. *
One of the Old Ones.
The town of Plymouth, in Massachusetts,
boasts of an apple tree, planted in 1048 by
Peregrine White, the first Englishman born
in Xew England. “Apples have grown
upon tliis tree for one hundred and fifty
years, and the old tree now stands to keep
green the remembrance of the first child
born in the settlement. There is hardly a
town in the neighborhood that has not pos
sessed some such monument of its growth
and age —and the example is worthy of all
praise. The enduring marble may be well
to commemorate the lives and record the
virtues cf men pre-eminent in t lie history
of the nation, but in itself it is as lifeless as
the dead whose deeds are written ujion its
tablets.- A noble elm or oak is almost as
imperishable ns marble, and each year finds
‘ tongues in trees’ to speak a living, fresh
and fragrant praise, in honor of those for
whom it was planted.”
Poetry—a Hew Era.
Poets are not now, as in the Byronic era,
sullen, gloomy world-haters, wrapped up in
intense egotism and glorying in a sublime
state of misery, but cheerful, hopeful phi
lanthropists—prophets of the “good time
coming.” They have faith in God and in
man. Their songs are evangels of liberty’.
They sympathize with the masses, and urge
on, by their inspiring songs, the noble cham
pions who are doing battle for Humanity.—
We may know that the kingdom of Heaven
is at hand, when such voices as now reach
our ears, are heard crying in the wilder
ness.

Characteristics of Literati ki; : Illustrated
by the Genius of Distinguished -Men. By 11.
T. Tuckerman. One vol., 12iuo. Philadel
phia: Lindsay & Blakiston. 1849
Mr. Tuckerman has succeeded in a some
what difficult task—that of presenting indi
viduals as the exponents of the various ele
ments of Literature, such ns Philosophy,
Wit, Morality, Humor, Imagination, Ilheto
ric, History, &c. His choice of writers to
illustrate these points—confined, with one
exception, to England—is highly judicious.
As the embodiment of Philosophy, we are
presented With a sketch of Sir Thomas
Browne. Shenstone is set forth as the sym
bol of Dilletantism ; and the author draws
a vivid and faithful contrast between the
poetry of Shenstone and his times, and that
of our modern poets —affording evidence, as
he thinks, of “ a glorious revolution,’’ in our
favor. Shenstone was a man of taste mere
ly, and spent his elegant leisure in devising
pretty fancies, botli in poetry and in archi
tectural embellishments upon his estate of
Leasowes. Swift, us the index of Wit —
Koscoe, of Philanthropy—Channing, of Mo
rality—are all fine portraitures, and happy
illustrations. A delightful chapter is that
upon Charles Lamb—the representative of
Humot —achaptorof warm appreciation and
hearty recognition of the noble genius of
Elia, and of his gentle, self-sacrificing na- j
ture.
BOOMIDOO* WEEUBiW
Macaulay is, wo think, most appositely:
chosen as the organ of History: aud Mr.
Tuckcrman recognizes the true scope and
aim of History, and the true charm of his
torical writing, iu his estimate of Mr. Ma
caulay’s book. Burke is not inaptly made
to stand for Rhetoric, Dean Swift for Wit,
Mark Akcnside for Scholarship and for’
Ideality, John Sterling—with whom the 1
American reader is not as well acquainted
as his great excellence as Poet and Essayist 1
demand.
Under the title of “The Biographer,” the
last paper of the volume is devoted to Lamb 1
and Keats, in a notice of the “ Final Memo- i
rials” of these two singularly gifted writers. j
We are gratified with the author’s labors j
in this agreeable volume, lie lias written
to a good purpose, and not without that i
thought and close analysis of his subjects,
which are essential to u successful book.—
llis style is clear, vigorous and graphic. 1
There is no straining after effect, no lavish
ing of meretricious ornament; lie is above i
such trickery in his art. He brings to his !
task u well-balanced judgment, with quite i
enough of enthusiasm to animate his essays. I
This volume lias evidently been written cun
umorc, and yet not without judicious reflec- !
tion ami critical attention.
The publishers deserve a word of com- i
I mendation for the beautiful appearance of
| the volume.
A Layman’s Lesson to a Lord Bishop, on Facer
! dotal Powers. By Non-Nemo. 12m0.,pp.48
i Now York: D. Appleton & Cos. 1819.
This is a reprint from London, setting
l forth and defending the dogmas of Confes-
J sion, Priestly Absolution, and Penance. It
• asserts the dignity and authority of Tradi
tions, and the absolute power of the Priest
hood. It is, of course, an emanation of the

Tm: Union ok Church and Statu. By Baptist
Wriothesloy Noel, M. A. One vol , 12m0.
New York: Harper & Brothers. IH-19.
i Mr. Noel was a distinguished member of
the Anglican Clergy, who, becoming cun
| vinced of the unscriptural and unconstitu
j tional character of the Church and State al
liance, dissolved his connection with the Es
tablished Church. The volume before us
contains his views on the Union of Church
j and State, and covers the whole ground of
I dispute between the English Episcopalians
i and Dissenters. The secession of so distin
guished a man ns Mr. Noel from the State
j Church, occasioned no little excitement, and,
| of course, his hook lias been reviewed by the
Anglican Clergy, with close scrutiny and
| much acrimony. Without assuming a sec
tarian position, wc may express our cordial
concurrence in the views of the author, and
our firm faith in the verity of his words,
“ The union of the Church with the State is
doomedand again, “ All tlic main princi
ples upon which it rests arc unsound.”
I Mr. A'ocl's book is written in a truly Catli
; olic spirit. It breathes out neither threat
; enings nor railing accusations against the
Church of England ; it acknowledges with
i delight the piety and excellence ol'her Evan- |
gelic il clergy, and seeks only’ to separate j
i tlie Church from an alliance, fatal alike to j
the vitality of its religion and tlie purity of
its doctrines.
Mr. Noel has done a great and a good ser
vice to tlie cause of pure Christianity—and,
j in the name of its advocates, wc thank him
j for it.

his Son iu-law, .Tolin Wood Waiter, M. D. —
Part First. Bvo , pp. 208. New York: Har
per & Brothers. 1849.
This work promises to possess great ex
cellence and deep interest. To be permit-
I ted to read gems of philosophy, sentiment,
j religious history, politics and poetry, gath
ered from the vast mines of English aud
Foreign Literature, by such a genius as
Southey, is no common privilege. It is al
! most as if wc were permitted to commune
j with that distinguished man, and hear him
read his favorite passages. The volume be
fore us comprehends a vast range, and eve
■ ty page is impressed with the power of the
j human intellect. What Sonthey admired
I and thought worthy to be recorded in his
j “ Common Place Book,” may, very proper
i ly, command the attention and interest of
the intelligent reader. It is a treasure
| of quaint and precious things, carefully cd
■ ited by the son-in-law of the great poet,
| whose taste is reflected on every page of the
j work. The following is a beautiful tribute
I to English Poetry, by Churchyard, and the
| only extract we have room for in this notice:
I-• Nor scorn not mother-tongue, O babes ot Eng
lish breed!
I have of other language seen, and you at full
may rend
Fine verses, trimly wrought, and couch'd in
comely sort,
But never i, nor you, I trow, in sentence plain
aud short,
Fid yet behold with eye. in any foreign tongue,
A higher verse, a statelier style, that may be read
or sang,
Than in this day indeed our English verse and
rhyme,
j The grace whereof doth touch the Gods and reach
the clouds sometime.”
j The Woodwax, A Romance of the Times of
I Richard 111. By G. P. R. James, Esq. Now
York : Harper & Brothers. 1849.
Wc are not of those who habitually sneer
at the works of Mr, James, and for the very
| simple reason that we derive too much grat-1
ification from his delightful stories, to allow
i
i
us to treat them with disrespect. Those
critics who cau find nothing in s'” It works
as Richelieu, Morley Einstein, R ise d'Al
bret, and last, though not least, The \\ ood
mnn, to command their approbation, are de
ficient in tlic perception of artistic and mor
al excellence. The Woodman is a well-told
tale, ami it will bo no disparagement of its
merits to Mr James’ numerous readers, to
add that it bears tlic impress of bis familiar
style. For the gratification of the curious,
we may add that “ those two horsemen” do
not appear in this story.

An Auto biography of Jonathan lloincr. Ed- j
ited by W. S. Mnvo.M. I). New York: Geo.
P. Putnam. 1819.
Jonathan Romcr, as the name would seem
designed to imply, is a wandering and er
ratic American. He breaks away from the
restraints of home, in a search after adven
ture, through known and unknown coun
tries. Wanderings through our own wild
borders, finally conduct to sea experiments
and enterprises. Shipwreck casts him upon
strange lands, among hitherto unknown peo
ple. He finds himself, at length, in a terra
incognita, in which, excellent and ample
opportunities arc afforded for the exercise
of fancy and imagination. In the exhibi
tion of these properties, the author, whetlv r
Dr. Mayo liitnself, or some modest friend,
who employs the Doctor only as an accouch
eur, shows himself particularly well endow
ed. The hook now shows a highly inventive
faculty. New empires are created, new
habits and customs displayed, and a very
brilliant picture is given of novel forms of
civilization, which throw the claims of
Christendom grievously into tlic shade. In
the progress to these empires of high and
peculiar refinements, the author conducts
us through numerous scenes of stirring life
and wild adventure. The descriptions of
scenery arc impressive and beautiful. The
details of wonderful events succeed each
other in rapid progress and in admirable
order, and are so naturally drawn, with so
much art and dexterity of execution, as to
leave the reader in continual doubt it the
scenes be not veal, and the fiction a truthful
history. No doubt many persons will read
it as such. Though rather long, it will he
read with interest and pleasure, and even
the sceptic will be found to regret that lie
cannot always permit himself to believe.

viously announced his intention of making,
in reference to the French expedition to

The resolutions embraced a wide range of

foreign policy of tlie Government. Os this
fact, it is understood that the envoys and
agents of Northern Italy and Sicily will be
duly notified.
France. The questions of a Consulate

the Assembly. A change of Ministers is
considerd an event almost certain to occur
within a very short time.

Hungary. The Turkish ambassador at

From a report of Gen. Hainan, addressed
to the Emperor of Austria, it appears that
a very sharp conflict took place on the 11th,

tlic victory.
Another account of this battle states, that
180 pieces of cannon were brought into the
field by tlic Hungarians, and the loss sus
tained by the latter in artillery-men, may
he estimated upon the circumstances. No
thing could be more complete than the de

Amidst Revolution and Rc-action, it advo
cates Re-orgauization. It desires to recon
cile conflicting classes, and to harmonize
man’s various tendencies by an orderly ar
rangement of all relations in the Family,
the Township, the Nation, the World. Thus
would it aid to introduce the Era of Confed

It is edited by Win. Henry Channing—a

storm on Friday morning last, a whirlwind
passed over the north-western part of that

of the Neck, and in its course, upturned
several carriages, and propelled a two-liorse
barouche some seventy yards. The tin roof
ing of the house of B. S. Rliett, Esq., situ
ate in Pinckney street, Cannonborough, was
partially unroofed, and most of the rooms of

der the chief Holatter Micco, or Billy Bow
legs. The sub-chiefs are Assinwar and Sam
Jones—the latter is now nearly a hundred
years old; liis counsel has always been tak
en by the Indians, and he is very vindictive
to the whites.
From a passenger on the Wm. Gaston,
we learn that the Indians have murdered
several negroes on a plantation near Tampa
Bay, destroyed a bridge, and other proper
ty. A detachment of 25 U. S. troops went
out from the post at Tampa Bay, and dis
covered a party of about 100 warriors,
painted in war styl#, and being the weaker
party, it was deemed prudent return to
Tampa Bay.
Cholera Items. The Cholera seems to be
again on tlie increase in New York. On the
lstinst., 170 cases and 60 deaths were re
ported.
In Philadelphia, the epidemic is decreas
ing.
In Cincinnati, on tlie 2d inst., tlie inter
ments from Cholera were 13.
In Boston, on tlie 2d inst., there were 10
eases and 6 deaths.
The Cholera has disappeared from St.
Louis.
The Alexandria (La.) Republican of tho
28th ult., says—“lt is impossible for tho
cotton crop to recover from the injury it
has sustained by the rainy weather, which
has already prevailed for more than thirty
days, and, as yet, affords no promise of stop
ping, Such a season, old and intelligent
planters a sure us has not been experienced
for twenty-five years. They assert that,
even with the most favorable weather, more
than half a crop of cotton cannot now he
made, and that if they have the catcpillar,
there will hardly he any cotton at all made.
