A correspondent of one of the leading
London journals—one which has shown
itself undisguisadly hostile to the cause of
Hungarian Liberty, thus writes from Vien
na, under date of Oct. 10th. :
“ Volt must not chide your correspondent
if his letter contains nothing but accounts
of executions. Batthiuny’s cnly led the
wiiy ; many others have followed him to the
scaffold On representations being made to
Haynau against these executions, he replied
by holding out thepnrcluncnt which confer
red unlimited powers upon him. ‘ They
style me,’ lie said ‘ a bloody hound, a tiger,
a hyena; 1 am ready to take upon myself
the responsibility of my acts.’ So much is
he feared that the officials in lVstb trembled
for tlieir lives because they bad nut hanged
Batthiany at once instead of postponing the
execution for twelve hours.”
These butcheries—this devilish and cold
blooded cruelty ought to stir up the indig
nation of the whole civilized world. If there
Were any heart and feeling in human gov
ernments —if national conscience ami na
tional morality were not extinct, all the
liberal powers of Christendom would at once
suspend all diplomatic intercourse with the
Courts of those imperial assassins—their
“Christian Majesties” of Austria and Rus
sia. As it is what will he done ? England
and France w ill protest against the course
pursued by Austria, and expostulate with
her perhaps, but there the affair will end.
Our Government will, of course, do nothing.
But ought not our people to speak ? Our
sympathy will now avail little to the Hun
garians, but it is not too late to let the im
perial butchers hear the voice of indignant
Freemen. *

An American Absolutist.
Orestes, (Brownson) in his last Re
view, utters the most violent invectives
against the brave defenders of European
Liberty, vvhom he styles enemies of God and j
man. He would of course place Washington,
Bolivar, Tell and Kosciusco, in the same
category with Mazzini, Kossuth and Gari
baldi. Hear him:
“ The people rejoice over the victories of !
the insurrectionists, and weep over their
defeats, but have not one tear to shed over
the brave soldiers who are murdered in
their endeavors to preserve social order and
whatever else is dear and sacred to the un- I
perverted human heart. Their heroes and I
model men are such enemies of God and j
man, of society, of true liberty, such mis- ]
creans, as the Muzzinis, the Kossutlis, the
Ledru Rollins, the Blums, the Boms, the
Garibaldis—vile criminals, deserving noth- !
ing but the extreme vengeance of the law, j
and the execration of every man who has a
human heart.”

We wish to cajl the attention of our read- j
ers to the advertisement of the first Annual j
Fair and Exhibition of tiiis important and s
highly promising Society. The Fair will
commence on the 20tli inst., in Military I
Ball, Charleston. Ex-Governor Hammond
will deliver an Address on the first evening j
We learn that the contributions already
received warrant the belief that the exhibi
tion will exceed the expectations of its most
sanguine friends. We hope that the Fair
will be thronged with visitors. The value j
of the Institution can hardly be over-esti- !
mated, and it should he encouraged and j
fostered by the people.

Miss Mary E. Lee.
Some three or four weeks have elapsed
since the sad announcement was made in
our columns of the death of this amiable
and accomplished poetess. A want of time [
alone has prevented us from paying a tribute J
to her memory —such as our knowledge and |
long appreciation of her excellence would
have justified. While we were suffering
some self-reproach at our constrained negli
gence we received from our friend I)r. Gil
man who was also the devoted friend and
beloved paster of the departed one—a copy
of the Address delivered by him at her
funeral, which we, this week, lay before
our readers—glad even in sorrow, to plant
a rose upon her grave.

The History omit: United States of Ame
rica. from the dls-overy of the Continent to
the erg v'iz.a' : eu of Government under the
Federal Cat.stitutien. By Riehanl Hildreth
In three volt 8 v<>. New York: Harper X
Bro.h rs.
A want of leisure for the examination of
the third and last volume of Mr. Hildreth's
compendious work, has delayed our notice
of its appearance perhaps unwarrantably
long It affords us pleasure, at length, to
say that the high opinion we conceived of
the work from the first volume is fully con
firmed by the subsequent portions, nnd wc
hail it as a most reliable—candid and tho
roughly comprehensive history—speaking
much for the industry nnd discrimination
of the author. To those who look for the
brilliance and picturesqueness of Macaulay
in Mr. Hildreth, a severe disappointment
is inevitable. The absence of these cha
racteristics does not, however, either in
validate the integrity or diminish the value
of the work before us. These arc positive,
and independent of the style of the author,
which is not perhaps peculiarly attractive
though always correct and perspicuous.—
His narrative is straightforward and un
varnished—his inferences are natural and
iogieal. He has w ritten like a man aware
of the dignity of his theme, and has made
no pretensions to eloquence of diction or to
splendor of illustration. He has evidently
felt the responsibilities of liis task and has
performed it with an earnest purpose of
truth and justice. Without approving all
his conclusions—without endorsing all his
verdicts on the actions and characters of his
heroes —we may yet, and do most cordially,
acknowledge our general satisfaction with
the manner in which he has executed a del
j icate and important labor. An appendix to
; the third volume embraces besides the nu
j merous authorities consulted by the au
| thor —a very full and copious analytical
[ index to the work which adds much to its
completeness and value. No American Li
brary will henceforward be complete with
out a copy of Mr. Hildreth's History.
The Old World, or Scene- an 1 Ci ies hi Fo
eign Lauds. By Willi; m Furni s. N w
York: I). Appleton & Cos. Phila Iphia : G
S. Apple on, 1850
Books of Travel and Sketches of Scenery
and Society in Europe, have been multi
plied till all available ground seems to have
been occupied and improved, and we now
scarcely expect in anew book in this line
anything else that is new. If the oft re
peated descriptions of men, tilings, of
places and customs are reproduced in a
pleasant style, we are satisfied that the au
thor has done all that could reasonably be
expected of him. On this ground the work
before us must certainly be commended.—
It is written in a lively and gossiping style,
which renders even descriptions of places
and tilings which have been described a
thousand times before, highly interesting.
While we find little that, is really new in
Mr. Furniss’ book, we find much that had
not previously been placed before us in so
clear a light - And the work is not entire
ly devoid of the element of novelty. In the
ti>o „ ..*1...--.. ,L^..-: r *L—- .aa — ~~r- ’
in and around Constantinople especially,
there is a great deal of freshness, and some
thing that is new, to us, at least. JVe have j
marked a description of the “ Feast of Bui
raam ” for insertion in our “ Library ”
Department. The following paragraph con
tains a quaint sketch of a quaint little town
in Old England and will give the reader an
ideo of Mr. Furniss’pleasant style of de
scription : *
“ By early dawn wc were out, and see
ing the quaint and funny town of Chester.
There never was a place made up of such
odds and ends. It is a curious, and about
the only , relic of the walled towns of
“Old England.” It is a singular patch
work of Saxon antiquity, Roman cohorts,
middle-aged persecution, and modern im
provements. Here a bit of railroad, there
a bit of church. Now walls overtopping
I houses give sly winks into private bed
i rooms, and crowd out bits of the town ; then
! pieces of tow n hang over the walls, where
I straggling abutments thrust out their el
bows over the ditch. Here a Roman hot
bath, there a Saxo-Gothic cathedral. Be
yond, three rows of galleries peep curious
ly over the street, and almost project to the
opposite piazzas; anon, the streets them
selves lose their way among this labyrinth
of crazy tenon outs, whilst the whole vil
lage is jumbled in sucli wild confusion of
shapes and design, as if the ancient car
penter who built here had taken his houses
and thrown them at random on the parish.”
Commerce of the Pra r es. or tin- Journal of
a Santa Fe Trader, &c. By .1-s ph G egg
2 vols. Philadelphia : J. \V. Moore.
These are by no means dull volumes,
though their title may uot seem an attrac
tive one, and the reader may think that
they only cover ground already occupied
by such writers as Irving, Iloffinan and
Kendall. The fact is four of the topics dis
cussed by Mr. Gregg are not touched at all
by the writers above named.
Mr. Gregg made eight expeditions across
the Great Western Prairies, and resided
nearly nine years in Northern Mexico, du
ring which time he was actively engaged in
the Commerce of that country and across
the Prairies. He had therefore superior
advantages for acquiring correct informa
tion on the various topics treated. The
reader will see that ho male good use of
his facilities. He gives a full and lucid ac
count of the Santa Fe Trade and tlie modes
of conducting it, with much interesting in
formation connected with the early bistort
and present condition of the people of New
Mexico, and the Indian tribes by which the
wild regions of that country are inhabited.
He also touches ou many collateral topics
of interest.
The work is illustrated witli maps and
engravings. *
Sketched of Life and Charactkh, By T. S
Arthur. Illu-traled with lti eagrnvi gs ami
portrait of the author. Philadelphia: J. W
Bradley
Without any genius, Mr. Arthur pos
sesses nevertheless a fair talent and con
siderable tact, which have enabled him to
produce a large amount of popular fiction.
He illustrates the common-places of life
with a good degree of skill; seizes on the
prominent moral points of society, and sur
rounds them with the drapery of fiction, so
that they attract the attention of the multi
tudes. He must be content with a popu
larity confined to the present, for there is !
certainly nothing in his works to make
them immortal. They deserve praise for
their tendency rather than intellectual me
rit—and as household readings, have a de
cided value. Mr. Bradley has made a neat
and comprehensive selection of his most
and successful stories.

We have examined this book carefully
and consider it the very best elementary
text book in Natural Philosophy extant.—
This is saying a great deal for it we know;
but it is said with reason. The work is
more thorough—more philosophical—more
modern and more intelligible than any
j other with which we are acquainted.—
Teachers would do well to introduce it into
their schools. A hook of “ first lessons ”
lias also been prepared from this compen
dium which is admirably adapted to its
| purpose.

This is a revised and corrected edition of

one of the very finest sea stories ever writ

it was first published, and unlike many
contemporaneous works, it has become more
and more popular with its successive edi

with a fresh interest from the beautiful
pages of Mr. Putnam’s edition.
Mr. Cooper is unquestionably the ablest
American novelist —nnd one whose name
and fame are identified with American lit

admirably well whatever they undertook to
do. Their previous church music books
have been, and still are, very popular—
but they claim to have made great improve

introduction of beautiful melodies and cho

also an Appendix, embracing the old and

the Mendelssohn Collection to choristers

Russia and Turkey. There is no later
news in the European Times, the only paper
that has come to hand, from Constantinople
or St. Petersburg ; and, of course, we have

Circassia. The fall of the fortress of

from St. Petersburg. On the 2'Jth of Au

.Mexico — More Annexation. If the fol
lowing account can be relied upon, there is
more Annexation in embryo. The .Yew
York Sun says : “ There is no security to
life or property in the republic, and even
in the city of Mexico assassinations and
robberies are committed in broad day-light,
in the very face of the authorities, and yet
dare not move to prevent such outrages or
punish the villains. The people are dis
satisfied with the government. A large
portion of tiicni openly advocate annexation
to the American Union as their July hope,
while others call for the return of Santa
Anna. Two pronunciamcntos have been
made for his return, but the stronger party
arc in favor of annexation. El Siglio XIX
is a stirring annexation paper, and a tre
mendous war of words is constantly carried
on between it and El Monitor, the govern
ment paper. The feeling in favor of the
United States is very strong and constantly
growing. Every one except those who are
in power regret the day the Americans left
country, and long for their return. If
Americans could be induced to emigrate in
large bodies and settle in Mexico perma
nently, they would be gladly received.—
They could obtain all the land they desired
free of charge, ami become owners of any
mines they might discover.
Counterfeits. A Counterfeit Ten Dollar
Note of the Bank of Charleston, was shown
