Kossuth to Hangar?.—Farwell Address.
A valued correspondent of The Astnonean, M.
H. Bresslou, Esq., some time since placed at our
disposal several extracts from a talented work j
then about to be published in London, for a Hun- ;
garian co-religionist, Captain Philip Korn, under !
the title of the Newest Chronicle ot the Magyars, J
tNueste Chronic der Magyar en.) among which i
documents wc find one particularly apposite and
interesting at this moment, and feeling that the
pathos and fire of the German is perfectly un
translateable, we have given, for the benefit of
our numerous German readers, besides the trans
lation, a literal copy of the original. Conscious
ot the sympathy they entertain for poor Hungary
and its martyrs, we are assured upon reading in
Teutonics vigorous strains the patriot's farewell
(Jtl child) to his Fatherland, their solicitude will
lie increased to greet the illustrious exile in a
manner suitable to his merits and compatible
with the great position this nation holds as the
palladium ofliberty.
In the work alluded to, Captain Korn states,
belV re Kossuth’s departure from the Hungarian
soil, he knelt u >wn upon it, o|>cncd his arms as
if lie would embrace its fields, kissed the earth
moistened and sanctified by the brood sf its most
valuable children, and after addressing a short
prayer to the Disposer of all events, he pronoun
ced the following eloquent
FAREWELL TO THE FATHERLAND.
God be with thee, my beloved Fatherland!
God Ire with the*, Fatherland of the Magyars!
God be with thee, land of tortures! I shall not
be able to behold trie summits of thy mountains;
no more shall I be able to call my Fatherland, —
the soil where, en the mother’s heart, I imbibed
the milk of Freedom and Justice !
Pardon me, my Fatherland, me who am con
demned to wander about far from thee, because
1 strove in thy welfare. Pardon me who no
more call anything free but the small space where
I am now kneeling down with a few of thy sons.
My looks fall ii|rou thee, O, poor Fatherland ! I
see thee bent down with sufferings! 1 now turn
them to futurity, thy Future is nothing but a
•,reat grief!—Thy plains are moistened with
crimson gore, which will soon be blackened by
unmerciful devastation and destruction, as if to
mourn over the numberless conquests which thy
sons have achieved over the accursed enemies of
they hallowed soil. How many gratelul hearts
lifted up their prayers to the Throne of the Al
mighty 1 How many tears have flowed, which
would even have moved Hell to compassion !
How' many streams ot blood have run. as proofs
how the Hungarian loves his Fatherland, and
how he can die for it 1 and yet hast thou, beloved
Fatherland, become a slave!
Thy beloved sons are chained and diagged
away like slaves, destined to fetter again every
thing that is holy; to become serviceable to all
that is unholy ! () Lord, if 'I ho i lovest Thy peo
ple, whose heroic ancestors Thou didst enable to
conquer under Arpad, amid so manifold dangers,
I beseech Thee, and 1 implore Thee, O humble
it not!
Behold, my dear Fatherland, thus speaks to
thee thy son, in the whirlwind of troubles and
despair, on thy utmost boundary !
Pardon me, if the great number of thy sons
have shed their blood for my sake, or rather for
thine, because I was their representative; because
l protected thee, when on thy brow was written
in letters of blood the word “Danger, ” because
I, when it was called unto thee, “Be a Slave,”
took up the sword lor thee; because 1 girded on
my sword when the enemy had the audacity to
say :—“Thou art no more a nation” in the land
of the Magyars!
With gigantic paces time rolled on, with black
—yellow letters, Fate wrote on the pages of thy
history "Death !” and to stamp the seal upon it,
called the Northern Colossus to assist. But the
reddening Moruing dawn of the South will melt
the seal!
Behold, my dear Fatherland, for thee, who hast
shed so much of thy blood, there is not even com
passion ; because on the hills, which are towered
up by the bones of thy fallen sons, Tyranny earns
her bread.
O see, my dear Fatherland! the ungrateful,
whom thou didst nourish from the fat of thy
plenitude, has turned against thee, against thee
lias turned the traitor, to destroy thee from the
head to the sole of thy foot! But thou noble na
tion, hast endured all this, thou hadst not cursed
thy fate, because in thy bosom over all suffering,
Hope is enshrined.
Magyars ! turn your looks not away from me :
for even at this moment my tears How only lor
you, and the soil on which 1 am kneeling, yet
bears your name!
Thou art fallen, truest of nations! Thou art
thrust down under thine own blow ! not the
weapon of a foreign enemy, which has dug thy
giave; not the camions of the many nations, who
were brought up against thee—they havetottei
ed back at thy Love to thy Fatherland! not the
Muscovites, who crawled over the Capathians,
have compelled thee, to lay down thine arms.
Ono! sold thou wast, dear Fatherland. Thy
sentence of death, beloved Fatherland, was writ
ten by him, whose love to his country 1 never
questioned for a moment. In the bold flight of
my thoughts, I would rather have doubted the
existence of a good man than that I could have
thought he could have become the traitor of his
Fatherland!
And thou hast been betrayed by him, in whose
hands a few days ago 1 laid the government of
our country, who has sworn to defend thee with
the last drop of his blood. He became a traitor
to this country because the color of gold was
dearer to him than that ofblood, which wasshed
for the independence of the Fatherland. The
profane metal had in his eyes more value than
rhe Holy Godot uis land, who forsook him
when he entered into a covenant with the as
sociates of the Devil!
Magyars! my dear fellow-sons of the same
country! Do not accuse me because I was com
pelled to cast my eye on this man, and to vacate
my place lor him. 1 was obliged to do so, be
cause the people placed confidence in him, be
cause the army loved him, and he had already
attained to a position in which he could have
proved his fidelity! and yet that man abused the
confidence of the nation, and in return for the
love of his nation treated them with contempt!
Curse him. people of the Magyars! curse the
heart that did not dry up when it attempted to
nourish him with the moisture of life!
1 love thee. Europe's truest nation! as I love
the ireedom for which thou fought so bravely !
The God ofliberty will never blot you out from
His memory. Be blessed for evermore! My
principles were those of Washington, though my
deeds were not those of William Tell! 1 wish
for a free nation, free as God only can create
man —and thou are dead, because thy winter has
arrived ; but this will not last so long as thy fel
low sufferer, languishing under the icy sky of
Siberia. No, fifteen nations have dug thy grave,
the thousands of the sixteenth will arrive to save
thee!
Be faithful as hitherto, keep to the holy sen
tences of the Bible, pray for thy liberation, and
then chaunt thy national hymns, when thy
mountains re-echo the thunder of the cannons of
thy liberators! God be with you, dear comrades
and fellow sufferers! The angels of God and of
liberty be with you. You may still be proud,
for the Lion ot Europe had to be aroused to con
quer the rebels! The whole civilized world has
admired you as heroes, and the cause of the heroic
nations will be supported by the freest of the
nations on earth!
Fatal Affray. —We neglected to notice a
dreadful rencontre, which took place in Carters
ville on the day of the election. The parties
were Dunnahoe and Hardnett. They
ware playing at cards, in a private room, when
a dispute arose. They rushed on each other, the
one with a revolver, and the other with a Bowie
knife. The result was that both were fatally
wounded, though they survived until a few days
since. Both are now dead. —Ccutville Standard,

The River.
The recent rains has caused a rise in our River
of about twelve inches, which will enable se
veral boats, below to come up. It was still
rising last evening when we went to press, but
very slowly.
[T7* A few foolish and sneaking chills have
prevented Mr. Smythc from greeting with best
wishes the numerous patrons of the Constitution
alist <jr Republic , at an earlier period than the pre
sent. He takes pleasure in saluting them this
morning, and will resume his regular communi
cation with them by presenting a few thoughts,
On the State of Parties.
Twice have the Southern Rights party of
Georgia tieen .signally defeated upon the issue
of opposition to the late, so called, compromise,
for the settlement of the slavery and territorial
questions between the South and the North.—
The Southern Rights party fought nobly and
in as noble a cause as ever deserved success, but
all in vain.
It would seem to be unwise to persist in a
contest which would doubtless terminate in si
milar disaster. The will of the people seems to
have been expressed by an apparently omnipo
tent and irreversible decree. What then should
lie done ? How stand parties, and what is the
duty ot Southern Rights men ! Before remark
ing upon these topics, we will throw out one
idea, more particularly, for the consideration of
our Constitutional Union friends. They, and
the supporters of the so called compromise, urge
it upon the people that said compromise is and
must be consider d a final settlement of the slave
ry question.
If it is such final settlement, then the provisions
of that compromise, applicable to New-Mcxico
ami Utah, will apply to all future acquisi
tion of territory, ,'t is clear that no one can go to
New-Mexico, or Utah, with his slaves, without
being liable, under the compromise, to be dragged
into the Courts of those territories to have his
right to hold his slaves there, as property, put
to the test. Some of the Northern States ol
Mexico, bordering upon Texas, are now in a
State of revolution. Suppose they should suc
ceed in acquiring their independence of the im
becile government of Mexico, and make appli
cation for admission into the Union. What
would be the consequence should they bo ad
mitted as territories. Slavery is now excluded
there by law, some of our wise Southern states
men insist, at this moment, that our National
constitution will not protect the slaveholder in
such territories. But here is the wise,liberal and
just compromise, which as a final settlement of
the slavery question, romes up to our help!—
Wonderful help! Happy and glorious settle
ment for the South ! What is it ? What is this
help? Why the privilege for a slaveholder to
break up and sell out here, in Georgia, to move
to these territories to commence a law suit with
I his negroes!
Who would go? What chance would the
South have to get (xissession of the territories ?
And this is the final settlement of the slavery
question, for opposing which the Southern Rights
party has been prostrated, nearly every where
in the South, and for sustaining which their op
ponents have achieved a succession of triumphs
unprecedented in political contests.
This idea in reference to a final settlement we
throw out merely for the consideration of our re
joicing Union friends, and all others concerned,
and not to re-open the questions which have
been signally decided by the popular vote.
What shall be done under this state of allairs !
Shall Southern Rights men fold their arms mid
yield themselves to an inglorious inactivity ?
Never, never. If we cannot obtain for the
South the lull measure of her rights,—if the peo
ple will see though a glass darkly, let us make
the nearest approximation we can to the line of
duty.
The South is threatened with a revolution in
some of her tormer deeply cherished sentiments.
The sovereignty of the States is, in effect, de
nied my many, and thousands have shown that
they either disbelieve in the right of State se
cession, or have been most grossly misled upon
that subject. We shall probably have to fight
over the great battle of republicanism against
federalism. Consolidation like a horrid mon
ster stalks abroad in the South, shaking the
sceptre of power in one hand, and chains for
his victims in the other.
It is true, when we look around us and surrey
the condition of the whole country, there is but
little to cheer us. Still we are not without
hope. If the sun has gone down, still there is
some friendly light-house to direct us through
the night. Let us avail ourselves of its cheering
light. Let us go where our friends are, and unite
with all those who come nearest to our senti
ments. Parties have got so twisted up that it is
hard to find them roots or branches. What lov
ing extension of the arms some of the Constitu
tional Union papers have been making to the
democrats, to Northern democrats. Some of
them here in Georgia, have so rejoiced over the
late democratic victory in Pennsylvana, and over
Mr. Buchanan, and Mr. Dickinson, and Mr.
Douglass, that no unsophisticated creature could
imagine, for a moment, that they had formerly
been the objects of their scandal. Some people will
be censorious in spite of every thing. They
wont allow this sudden change in these old
whig papers and leaders, (Latcrly, Constitu
tional Unioners.) to be the result of patriotism.
Instead of allowing that they want to throw
their arms around the necks of the democrats
from a holy love of country, they roundly assert
that it originates in a greedy and slavering
thurst for plunder.
We heard not long since of a Constitutional
Union man, formerly a whig, who asked a South
ern Rights man. also, formerly a whig, if he in
tended now to join the democratic party. The
Southern Rights whig replied that he intended ]
to act with the party that came nearest his prin
ples, let its name be what it might. That was
the answer of a true man. That question is fre
quently put by Union whigs to Southern Rights
whigs in a taunting way, and that too. by men
who voted for Mr. democratic Cobb for Gover
nor, and are now ready to vote for Mr. democra
! tic Buchanan for President.
These gentlemen will screw up their fronts,
1 put on grimaces, sneer, nod, wink, show the
white of their eyes, &c., in talking to Southern
Rights whigs about joining the democrats, while
they are slyly waiting for a good opportunity to
join them first, forthe sake of power; when, if
successful, they would laugh at their Southern
Rights whig friends, while dipping into the
fiesh-pots. and dividing the spoils.
We will conclude this subject in a brief arti
cle to-morrew morning.

The Alleged Diplomatic Correspon
dence. —The Boston Courier says,that it has "‘the
best reason for believing that the whole story
that a very spirited rebuff has been given by our
government to certain diplomatic interference of
the British and French Governments on the sub
ject of Cuba, is entirely groundless.” The Cou
rier is pretty good authority, yet there may have
been a correspondence, which was not a “very
spirited rebuff" either.
Jack Frost. —The Gridin Union, of the 30th
ultimo, says: “This hoary headed old visitor
made his appearance in our vicinity last Mon
day morning, and destroyed pretty well all the
vegetation in our midst that the dry weather had
spared. The continued drought, however, had
well nigh laid waste every thing susceptible of
being killed by frost. There was also a good
deal of ice. We do not recollect the time, for
some years, when frost made its appearance so
late in the season. This has doubtless been of
singular advantage to the farmers, in enabling
them to harvest their cotton. But little, if any,
yellow cotton, we think, will be exposed for
sale.”
The Atlantic Company, Lawrence, Massa
chusetts, have just started a new mill, driving
fifteen thousand spindles; and the Essex Com
pany, iu the same city, are now surveying the
ground for a new mill, (supposed to be for the
manufacture of de laines,) tube located between
the Atlantic and Bay State corporations.
Recent discoveries in Moore county, says the
Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer, confirm the con
fident prediction made by Professor Johnson,
over two years ago, that the whole of the country
to the Montgomery line, would be found to be a
bed of coal.
Mrs. Hamilton. —This lady, widow of Gen.
Alexander Hamilton, has just returned to Wash
ington, having been absent during the summer.—
Since the death of Mrs. Madison, she is the only
female residing in Washington whose name is
familiar to the American people as having min
gled familiarly and socially with Washington and
his illustrious contemporaries.
The Cuban Prisoners. —Ex-President Tyler
has written a letter to Colderon de la Barca, the
Spanish Minister, soliciting his intercession tor
the release of all the Cuban prisoners. Mr.
Tyler says, if a sacrifice was wanting to deter
| others from the commission of a similar offence,
'it has been offered up. The vengeance of a
great State has fallen terribly and fatally, and to
restore the small number now in custody to their
friends and homes, would speak a more effective
tale than would ever issue from the dungeon or
the gibbet.

About 11 o'clock on Saturday night, the stea

i oil'Cape Cod, came in collision with the whail

lost. Capt. Nye, the two mates and five of the
| crew saved themselves by jumping iato the fore
| chains of the William Penn, and 3 others were
; taken from the wreck. The Belle Isle was just
i returning from a seven months’ cruise, and the
I collision is believed to have been entirely acci

the steamer lay by her all night, in the hope of
rescuing the missing men.

The Great Exhibition. —The city has been
crowded for three days with visitors to the great
Agricultural and IndustrialfExhibition, which
commences this day and closes on Friday next.
There are already many thousand | strangers
present. Delegations are in attendance Irom
Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi. Florida, Ken
tucky, South-Carolina, and in fact, nearly all the
Southern States. The concourse of visitors is
not only immense, but the array of articles on
exhibition will astonish the most sanguine.—
There are three splendid Steam Engines upon
the ground, with a great variety of other ma
chinery. There are Jacks, Mules, Horses, and
fine cattle by the scores. The herds of Devons
exhibited by Richard Peters, Esq., is one of the
largest and best ever shown by one man in the
country. The department of domestic manu
factures is especially rich, and speaks highly for
the industry, enterprise and taste ol the fairer
portion of our people. The display in the Hor
i tieultural Rooms will be exceedingly fine —far
I surpassing any thing of the kind ever seen in
: the South. In the Poultry line, it would really
| seem as if the four quarters of the globe had
; been searched. There are Ducks and Chickens
I from India, Africa, Europe, and even from the
; centre of the Cetestial Empire. There are Pat
ridges from California, Geese from Egypt, and
Pigeons from all sections of the globe. The na
tive poultry, too, is very fine. In the great sta
ple of the South, we understand the competition
will be considerable, and the display creditable.
We have not had an opportunity to examine ,
into the collection of gTains, fruits, &c.. hut pre
sume that this department will be rather defi- ;
cient. _ _ j
The season has been unpropitious. and we fear ;
that in this respect the Exhibition will not be as
inviting as in many others. Upon the whole. '
however, it will be by far the most extensive and
elegant show of the kind ever held in the South
ern States. We look upon it as the beginning of
better times for the South, and trust that the spirit
now aroused may be fostered and cherished by
our people.— Journal if Messenger, 2 3th ult.

Very Intoresling from South America.
Boston, Oct. 27, 18.51.
The brig Braniau brings Buenes Ayres dates
of the sth of September. The most intense
excitement prevailed in Buenes Ayres, as to the
progress of the war. There is no doubt that
Urquiza and the Brazilians have made a junction
and that the Buenes Ayrean General had lost
6,000 horses and the baggage and artillery of one
of thedivisions, without the firing of a gun.
A letter says there is not much doubt that the
Banda Oriental question is settled. Oribe. driv
en to extremities, probably by the large force
opposed to him, has requested the French Admi
ral to receive on board his vessels the Argentine
troops, and convey them to Buenes Ayres. This
was refused, and all the Oriental troops of Oiibe’s
army have deserted, and even the Argentine
troops refuse to light, saying that they have had
enough of it.
The French and English admirals, after a con
ference, declared that they should not interfere,
and it was ltared that Buenes Ayres might be
blockaded.
As the Brazilian admiral, Grenfell, was going
up the Panama river, one of his steamers, the
Alphonso, was fired into from a small tort ol
Bosas and the rigging was so much cut up that
he was obliged to put back to Montevideo.
The Buenos Ayrean Packet is confident that
even if Oribe is defeated in his first encounter
with the enemy, that he will finally defeat them.
It says : —“lie is in his own territory, and with
the sympithiesof the native population. A war
of resources, or the guerilla warfare that crushed
the power and undermined the prestige of Bona
parte himself in the Peninsula campaign, would
be next to interminable, not to speak of the in
tact resources of this republic that are now hus
banded with a orovident economy, that they
may strike a decisive blow when the fitting op
portunity arrives.”
In Buenos Ayres the news, as received, had
caused frightful fluctuations in the paper money.
Last year, at this time, ounces were quoted at
232 —for the week ending September 6th, they
had been as high as 395, and closed at 390, with
a prospect of going to 400.
From the tone of the Packet, it is judged that
Rosas is attempting to foment a republican re
bellion in Brazil, which would require the return
of the Brazilian troops.
More Brazilian steamers and about 500 Ger
man recruits had arrived at Montevideo.
Another letter, dated Buenos Ayres, Septem
ber 6th. says:—“there is a perfect panic here to
day, and ounces have sold for 400. The Brazi
lians and Urquiza were carrying everything be
fore them, and it was feared would invade Bue
nos Ayres.”
“Very Like a Whale.”— The following arti
cle, which we copy from the New York Times,
looks to us “very like a whale,” but we give it
for what it is worth, leaving the reader to form
his opinion upon the matter:
Sir John Franklin. —The London Morning
Chronicle publishes the following interesting '
statement, vouching for it accuracy, and saying
that the Admiralty has ordered an inquiry:
Gloucester, Friday.
An extraordinary circumstance has just hap
pened here, which I hasten to communicate. It
is almost incredible, but for the fact that the au
thority is undoubted, and the Admiralty have
been induced to order an official inquiry, which
is now being proceeded with.
These are the facts : Last Sunday afternoon,
Mrs. Russell, a lady living at Wootton, near this
city, observed something fall in the garden, while
at dinner. On sending out the gardener, he
found it to he a small balloon, in the ear of which
was a card, bearing the following inscription .
Erebus , 112 W. Long.
71 deg. N. Lat.
September3,lSsl.
Blocked in.
The matter was at first looked upon as a hoax,
but subsequent events led to a communication
being made with the Admiralty, who sent for
the balloon and card, and immediately on their
receipt sent down Capt. Beechy, R. N., to Glou
cester, with another officer, to make inquiries.
These inquiries are now being prosecuted, Capt.
Beechy having been twice at Wootton, examin
ing all parties resident there. It turns out that |
it is a real Government balloon, of exactly a j
similar kind to those sent out with the Erebus, 1
when she sailed from England.

And at heart you ro sick and sad,

Cannot be found in useless Pills;

With hi? Cherry Syrup surely can
Cure your Cold, however old;

Will oft impart deep content.
