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. A LETTER FROM FATHER MATHEW. We have the pleasure of laying before our readers, the following letter front that dis tinguished Apostle of ‘Temperance, Father Mathew. H was addressed to our towns man, Judge Lumpkin, in reply to an invi tation extended, through him, by the Geor gia State Temperance Convention. Father Mathew will receive, wc are sure, a most cordial welcome from every friend of Tem perance and of Humanity in our State, Dost x, 25th July, 1549.

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. oiu- Cook Cable. —— i [Publishers ami Authors who desire to haveth.ir Books noticed in this < i.17. ‘ile. arc requested to send copies to tl.c Editor through Stringer A. Townsend, New-Ynrk, or Carey & Hart, Phil. 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 ; new Anglo Roman theology. 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. ! , llistotiy of Irr.ns C’ vs.ii:.

One vol., 16mo. —pp. 273 New York: Harper & Brothers. 1849. ) It is only necessary to announce thepub : lication of another of Abbott's Histories, to secure for it an immediate and extensive sale. They are incomparably the best his torical books ever prepared for the young, i “ Julius Caesar” is equal in merit and beau ty to the best of the series. Class Book of Zoology : Designer! to afford to Pupils in Common Schools and Acadiuuie*, a knowledge of the Animal Kingdom By Prof. 15. Jaegar. New York: I>. Appleton ic Cos. — 1819. Prof. Jaeger's beautiful little manual is worthy of all praise, as a comprehensive j and systematic text-book for young pupils. We think it is the best and cheapest Ele mentary work on Zoology now extant. ] Magdalen and Marcia, or the Rectory Guest. By .Mrs. Grey. New York: Stringer & Towns | end. 1849. This is a powerful and pleasing story of domestic life, by a favorite authoress. S entry's Common-Peac e Book. Edited by 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. .Tank Shore, or the Goldsmith’* Wife. A Nov el, by the author of “ Susan llojdcy,” etc New York: Stringer & Townsend. 1849. An historical talc of the times of Edward IV', in which the King, Lord Hastings, and other distinguished characters, figure. It is worked up with skill and much Interest. Life in the Far West. By George Frederick Buxton, Author of “ Adventures in Mexico and the Rocky .Mountains,” etc New York : Harper & Brothers. 1849. The readers of Rlackirotd's Magazine, in which the papers comprising this volume originally appeared, will remember the in terest which they excited at the time of their appearance in that work. They were i very justly deemed worthy of publication i in their present form. Mr. Ruxtou has given us, iu this volume, graphic and faithful sketches of Backwoods Adventure, drawn from nature, by one who J loved the free, wild life he described. He ! gives the results of his own personal expe ; ricnce, in a terse, vigorous and graphic | style. * Kai.ooi.au, or Journeying? to the Djolicl Kumri: 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. £l)c Citcmnj lUorlir. Herman .

The Parliament was to he pro rogued on the 9th of August. The motion which Lord Brougham pre viously announced his intention of making, in reference to the French expedition to Rome, was laid on the table on Friday.— The resolutions embraced a wide range of subjects, and implied direct censure on the 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 for life —the Empire—Henry the Fifth, and the Count de Paris—are openly discussed in the Assembly. A change of Ministers is considerd an event almost certain to occur within a very short time. It is understood that the agents of the So cialists, undismayed by their previous re verses, me still very active in making pros elytes among the peasantry. Tlie .Yalionalle announced that the Prince of Uanino, sou of I.ucion Bonaparte, and ex-President of the Roman Constituent As sembly, had been arrested at Orleans, by order of the Government. Italy. Preparations are making at Rome, which lead to the supposition that Pius is expected to return to the Qaiernial —all the wounded having been removed from that Palace. The French are doing all they can, and distributing money freely, to get up a cry in his favor, but in vain. The Roman troops, who had agreed at first to do duty conjointly with tlie French, arc leaving. The Pope's engineers having been asked to make a demonstration in his favor, refu sed, preferring to quit the service. Thirty nine out of forty-three resigned, and the whole rank and file disbanded. The recent expedition against Venice lias been discontinued, in consequence of the fatal prevalence of fever and other sickness amongst the Austrian troops. Hungary. The Turkish ambassador at I’aris is said to have received a despatch on the 19th ult., by courier, that the I'olish General, Beni, had again completely defeat ed the Russian forces. From a report of Gen. Hainan, addressed to the Emperor of Austria, it appears that a very sharp conflict took place on the 11th, before fomorn, between the Hungarian for ces and the combined armies. The Mag yars fought fiercely, but the Austrians claim 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 feat of the united Russian and Austrian ar mies under Haynan. He was obliged to fall back on Ilaab—where his headquarters are at present—which city is filled with wound ed, 5,000 of whom ho lias been obliged to send to I’rcsbtirg, om* Contemporaries. The Iron Man. Philadelphia: Augustine Du ganne, Editor. We have received several number of a new paper w ith the abovo unique name.— Mr. Duganne is extensively and favorably know n by his poetical and prose contribu tions to the literary papers and magazines of the day. lie is ail independent thinker and strong writer, and will not fail to give us a good paper. We are happy to place the Iron .Man ou our exchange list. * The Spirit of the Age. New- York : Fowlers & Wells. The Spirit of the Age takes tlic place of the Univereeelum and the Harbinger. It seeks as its end “ the Peaceful Transforma tion of human societies from isolated to as sociated interests, from competitive to co operative industiy, from disunity to unity. 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 erated Communities, which, in spirit, truth, and deed, shall be the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness, a Heaven upon Earth.” It is edited by Win. Henry Channing—a man of great intellectual endowments, largo views, refined tastes, and unblemished rep utation as a man and a Christian. The Spirit of the Age, undor his charge, will be an able exponent of Socialism, in its highest phase. * The Water-Cure Journal and Herald of Reforms. New York: Fowlers & Wells. Tho J uly number of this useful periodical is on our table. It is devoted, as its name indicates, to the Philosophy and Practice of Hydropathy aud Collateral subjects. We are not prepared to endorse, in full, the claims of the more ultra Hydropathists, and iu all cases “ throw physic to tlic dogs,” but I wc know, from personal observation and ex | perience, that water, as applied by learned and skillful Hydropathic practitioners, pos sesses potent and almost miraculous cura -1 tivc properties, and has often restored to • complete health, persons who were entirely | beyond the reach of all other known rcino ! dies. Among a people disposed to “ prove ! all things, nnd hold fast that which is good,” the claims of the Water-Cure cannot be set aside by sneers and misrepresentations. With tlic number before us commences the eighth volume of the Journal. It is pub lished monthly at $1 per annum, in ad vance. * ©cneriit Jntelligencr. Storm in Charleston. We learn from the Charleston papers, that during a heavy rain storm on Friday morning last, a whirlwind passed over the north-western part of that city. It formed in the north-eastern part 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 the dwelling deluged with water. At this point, the body of wind took a more wester ly course, prostrating several out-houses and fences. iMter from Florida. By the steamboat Wm. Gaston, (.'apt. Freeborn, from Florida, (says the Savannah Republican, of Thurs day,) wc have received the Ocala Jlrgus, from which we learn that the Indians arc preparing for a general war, having, du ring the past year, provided themselves with considerable quantities of powder and lead. The principal Indian villages arc lo cated on the Carlosuhatchee river, about three days’ journey from Ocala They number, may be, 600’warriors, and are un 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. g ajE jPH!!
