Difficulty between Kossuth and Captain Isms; —
fjttcrs of Kossuth to the American Consul, at
Marseilles.
Newark, N. J.,Oct. 31.
The Newark Daily Advertiser publishes a let
ter. dated .Marseilles, whieh states that Kossuth
was much excited at the Prefect of the city al
lowing him to land only on condition that no
demonstration should be made, and also at the
conduct of the Flench Government. The letter
states that Kossuth has addressed rather an abu
sive letter to the American Consul at Marseilles,
in which he denounces the Consul, and Captain
Long. ofthe frigate -Mississippi, saying that he
would leave the ship at the first port she stopped,
and that he would proceed by private convey
ance to the U. States. The writer of the letter
to the Advertiser thinks there is no just cause
lor such conduct on the part of Kossuth, and
doubts if he ever intended visiting America.
(The above is certainly indictiv? of something
which may mar somewhat the “distinguished
consideration" of the American (maple for the
illustrious exile—a thing which they themselves
would be very loth to have occur. There is,
nerhaps, some misunderstanding in the case,
which, when explained, may modify its asjicct.
Kossufi'- in the enthusiasm of bis nature, and
admiration pfthe liberality of the U. S ates to
wards him, may have expected too much, hence
great disappointment and chagrin were likely to
ensue when he found it was necessary to circum
scribe bis movements. Yet the IJ. States officers
were bound to preserve its neutrality.)
In the New York papers received lust night
from our special agent by the Philadelphia boat,
we find tne full details of the European news to
the 18th Oct., the mails by the Europa having
come forward. We annex the lollowing there
from:
Kossuth's Movements
It is doubtful if the next steamer from Liver
pool brings us any accounts of Kossuth's arrival
there, lie was not expected at Southampton
before the 25th of October.
Ilis non arrival in England on Monday, the
13th. was the cause of great disappointment to
the Mayor and Town Council us that boroguh,
where great preparations have been made lor his
reception, and also tw o thousands of strangers
;vh« went there to give him a hearty welcome.
Hv iV' Mediterranean screw steamer Arno,
Captain iJararn, which arrived at Liveipool on
the 17th instant- we learn that the great Magyar
bin I arrived at Gibraltar in the American steam
frigate Mn-issippi. Kossuth was anxious to
take passages in the Arno for himself, family,
and attendants, a party of lifty-seven persons,
tint he stipulated that the Arno should k;;ul him
at Southampton. With this condition Captain
Hiram -vas unable to comply, and the Hungarian
chief was left on board the Mississippi, lie
would embark in Hie first steamer lot South
ampton.
J'hc Jin sir inn Amhiissailor Ordered to Ihniii iiil his
Passport—Kossuth Quilling llte Mississippi hi
Dua'n'eon.
A Pari* letter of October 12th says:
“The Austrian ('ourl has, it is said on good air
thurity, given orders to Huron Koller, the Anr
hassador from Austria to the Court ol SI. Jamcsi
to demand his passports, ami to immediately ipul
London the moment Kossuth arrives and is re
ceived publicly at Southampton.
Meantime, a fresh delay bus occurred in the
movements of Kossuth, and he has left the steam
er Mississippi and landed at Gibraltar, where lie
intends to await a private conveyance, by w liicli
lie will proceed to England. The Austrians may
nali him yet and carry him hack, to undergo im
mediate ami ignominious execution, if lie does not
fake care. Kossuth is not safe unless in England
or America: and when he left the national steam
er, he left tile protection of America. True it is
that England possesses Gilnaltai; hut when he
leaves that place in a private ship, he will be as
sailable. Fortunately for him, Austria lias no
fleets or marine of any account, or he would cer
tainly be arrested on his journey,
Mr. Hives, our Minister at Paris told me, to
day. that In- had received accounts from th.
American Consul at Marseilles of the circum
stance I have above mentioned. I knew it be
fore; the news had spread among the Americans
like wi'M-lire. It appears that a misunderstand
ing arose i>otween Kossuth and the officers ofthe
Mississippi, arising from Kossuth's proceedings
at Marseilles. They were anxious, naturally
enough, that lie, while on board a national ship,
should do nothing which might compromise the
national government, in inspect to its relations
with a friendly (lower. Kossuth, it is said, took
oti'ence at these very proper representations, and
left the sliipaml landed at Gibraltar.
It is very probable Kossuth has been led loan
error of judgment, something like that ot the
lly oil tbe wheel, ill the fable, when the tly,
seeing the dust and hearing the noise, said to it
self, "What a sensation l make!—what a dust
I kick up in the world! ” Such errors of judg
ment an 1 very common among frail mortality.
At al l events the subject is pregnant, and the
fact to fit: lamented.
Kossuth, it appears in his letter to the Mayor
of Southampton, explains the matter differently,
and implies that he lut! tlie Mississippi because
tiie captain insisted upon steaming direct tor New
York, without calling at Southampton. The re
port above referred to lias been contradicted by r a
Frankfort journal; but the contradiction is not
worth much, and is more diplomatic than true.
Hon. U. .1. Walker, lute 11. S. Secretary of the
Treasury, has written a letter to the Town
Clerk of Southampton, in answer to an invita
tion to tie present at the Kossuth banquet, ac
cepting the invitation and expressing liis high
opinion ofthe Hungarian leader.
Austrian opinion of the English Reception of
Kossuth. —The Austrian Lloyds, a semi-ollicial
journal ot the Austrian Cabinet, publishes the
lollowing effusion as its first leading article in
Us number of the Utb inst.—" The ovations
which are now under preparation in England, in
honor of an Austrian subject guilty of treason to
tiis sovereign, and of having ignited the liame of
revolution in his native country, do not arouse
our indignation to any great extent. We feel a
pity mixed with uncommon contempt lor the
stupid well-fattened ( stupiden wold sciolist (ten)
aldermen of Southampton and London.”
The Pi.ague at Palmas — Death ol the Amer
ican Consul aud Family —The New York Jour
nal of Commerce contains an extract of a letter
from ail officer on board the United States brig
Porpoise, dated TenerilFe, Sept. 1, giving an ac
count of the terrible ravages of a plague, resem
bling the cholera, which lias swept over Palmas,
one ol the Cape de Voids. One-fith of the en
tire population, of IYUOO, have fallen victims,
and the disease is still raging, though somewhat
abated. The writer says:
u The lamily of our consul, (Mr. Torres.) to
gether with himself, are all dead, with the ex
ception of one child, lie was a very worthy
man. and had several handsome and interesting
daughters, who were great favorites with the
officers of our ships that touched there. Mr.
Torres sent them all into the interior upon the
first appearance of the pestilence, but hearing
afterwards that some of them were sick, he
started oil'to join them, and on his arrival found
them all dead, servants included, with the excep
tion of the child here mentioned, in less than
live hours after, he himself was a corpse. Ihe
panic and distress on the island is inconceivable.
Catholic Bishop.— Bishop Kenrick's succes
sor in the administration of Catholic affairs in
the diocese of Philadelphia, is already talked of.
The Catholic Instructor says that public expec
tation points to tbe Very Rev'd K. .1. Souriu,
the present Vicar General ot the diocese, as the
clergyman nust likely to be chosen.
[Editorial Correspondence ofthe Savannah A T «rj.]
Macon, Oct. 30, 1851—71 P. M.
I have just returned from the fair grounds,
much fatigued by walking through the enclosure,
and standing in the sun with the immense crowd,
to hear Judge Andrews’address. But even un
der other circumstances, and if I had the whole
day before me instead of the half hour till the
closing of the mail, I would not be able to give
you any adequate idea of the Great Fair. The
exhibition, in all its features, is worthy to inspire
the pride ol every true Georgian. I have lieen
present at the State Agricultural Fairs of New
York and Maryiand, and I am proud to say that,
the Fair ofthe Southern Agicultural Association,
now holding here, would not suffer by compari
son with cither of them. There is, it is true,
not such a display of manufactured articles or of
stock here as is usual at similar exhibitions in the
Northern States, but in point of the quality of
the articles exhibited, the Northern Societies
have none the advantage ol us. Nor is there
any lack of variety. Indeed, I was not aware
until I had visited the Fair, that the productions
of our own noble old State were so rich and va
ried, or that our mechanics and manufacturers
had made such advancement as their specimens
on exhibition so abundantly prove.
I regret that it is out of my power to furnish
you with a catalogue of the articles, animals,
on exhibition, as I feel sure you would be sur
prised at their great number and variety. I will
endeavor yet to give some of the more promi
nent features of the Fair.
Judge Andrews' address, this morning, was
one of the most eloquent, impressive, and deep
ly interesting orations I ever had the gratifica
tion of listening to. It was peculiarly appro
priate to the occasion, being a sound practical
argument addressed to practical men. I have
not time even to give you an outline of the ad
dress, whieh will, no doubt, be published. It
was listened to with profound attention by the
immense audience.
I will merely mention here that I spent a
portion of the morning in the building appro
priated to the articles furnished by the ladies. I
think it is no disparagement to any one, and I
am sure it is not more than simple justice to say
that toe ladies, lake their department as a whole,
are entitled to the palm. Their varieties of em
broidered work, cruel work, quilting, painting,
and fancy work, are extensive, and embrace some
of the best specimens I have ever seen. Some
of the designs ol the embroidery are truly beau
tiful. The ladies seem to have gone into the en
terprise with spirit, and they have given their
sterner fellow citizens just cause to be proud of
them.
We had a rainy afternoon yesterday, which
greatly interfered with the exhibition. YVe have
a delightful day to-day, and the crowd on the
ground is greatly increased
There is no means of getting a luir estimate of
the number of persons here. There cannot,
however, be less than five thousand strangers in
the city. Macon is thronged beyond its capacity
with people from all parts of our own and the
adjoining States. A very large attendance of
ladies is present, and altogether a more respecta
ble, intelligent and healthy-luokiug crowd I
have never seen. The ladies—but I must close,
as I have barely time to get this in the office.
Yours, in baste, W. T. 'l'.

Macon, Ga., Oct. 30, 1851.
Editor Morning i\rws:
Dear Sir—After my arrival here on the mor
ning of the jsth, I went to the meeting oi tim
Cotton I’lanters'Convention. I was struck with
the highly res|>ectable and venerable appearance
iof that assembly. Many sterling fathers, w hose
lock, are whitened by the fros'sol many win
ters, are here, and I have been inueli pelased
with the intelligence that ic evident in that as
sociation.
Their [Jans for associations, asthey have been
presented, are various, and to me, many of them
were amusing: but, upon the w lade, I am dis
posed to think it is the beginning of a good re
sult.
No action bus been taken on any of the plans
proposed for regulating prices,—all the plans
have been referred to a eommitte ot twenty-one,
from whom a report will he made to the Conven
tion, and action will then he taken.
The proposition of our Consul to Amsterdam,
C. G. Baylor, Esq., to establish a direct trade
with the Continent of Europe, was unanimous
ly adopted by the Convention; and steps will be
taken to open lie trade immediately.
I see by a circular in an issue ol your paper,
that Messrs. G. W. Gaiinany A Co., of your
city, have procured the Agency of a house in
Amsterdam. I wish them God speed in their
undertaking, ami I shall give them a cordial and
liberal support.
I went to the "Fair Grounds.’' and there tic
held thousands of people, anil the various arti
cles ot art, such as needle work, painting, and
mechanism: the productions of the earth, sucli
as cotton, wheat, corn, &c., See.:—then all kinds
of machinery, furniture, and implements tor
Agriculture.—then the stock and fowls, and a
thousand things that I have not time nor space
to mention, if I would. Hut suffice it to say,that
1 made up my mindjthat, of all the articles that 1
saw, either of nature or art, 1 was most p 1 eased
with the fair Indus, who were there in great
numbers, and I will venture the assertion, that
when they are brought together at the soiree,
ii they are permitted a chance lor the premiums,
they will take the first prize.
I do not intend to forestall the award of the
Judges, but lam so well convinced of their
good taste and judgment, that Ido not in the
slightest degree doubt that they will see, as all
men who have eyes, and we there, must have
seen,that the ladies were by far the brightest
gem. Indeed, they are the objects tha* gave in
terest to, and beautified the Fair. X.

Execr rioN. —The slave Malinda, who was
tried and found guilty at our late Superior Court,
of the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Burns, on the
3d day of September last, was publicly executed
on the gallows, on Friday last. An immense
concourse of all ages, sexes and conditions, were
assembled on the ground—many with the ex
pectation of hearing a full confession of the
deed by the unfortunate criminal. In this they
were disappointed; she died protesting her own
innocence, and entire ignorance of the true mur
derer. Notwithstanding her denial to the last
moment, we cannot, after a survey of the evi
dence, entertain a doubt but that tbe perpetrator
of the Idoody deed has been punished.— Wash
ington (Ga.) Gazelle, 30 th ult.
The Havana Massacre.—Tile London Morn
ing Chronicle, ofthe 16th ult., passes the follow
ing judgment upon the Cuban execution :
" On this side of the Atlantic, there can be hut
one opinion with regard to the guilt of the inva
ders; and there will doubtless be some persons,
who, looking merely at the gravity of the crime,
will think that the summary execution of fifty
persons was but an act of justice, or. as the official
apologist of tbe Spanish government terms, " the
most simple and primary duty.” We must,
nevertheless, condemn this wholesale judicial
massacre. The extreme plea of right is no jus
tification for a precipitate act of vindictive cruel
ty. It is. indeed, asserted that, on the previous
occasion of the attempt at Round Island and Car
denas, the utmost clemency was exhibited by the
Spanish authorities, but without the effect of pre
venting further aggression. Yet this is a most
insufficient justification : and the fact that the j
invaders having disregarded the warning then ! .
given, and having made a new piratical incur- j
sion, is no excuse lor the savage severity on the ;
part of the Cuban government. It was, no doubt,
the duty of the latter to indict some punishment
upon their prisoners; but a summary execution
was alii e cruel and impolitic. It has dishonor*
ed and damaged the Spanish cause, it has exas
! perated the American people, and it has increased
j the difficulties of the federal executive. In de
j fending the acts of his government, M. Isturlitz
' ! h as thought proper to allude to the pro
ceedings of the English cruisers in the East
• i ern archipelago as affording an analogous case.
1 j " u t the parallel is not exact. There is a
j great difference between destroying a body
°u sa^ a^es actually engaged in piracy, and
. the wholesale execution of prisoners. The op
erations of our ships in the East, were, in
. reality, very much like the war at the Cape—
! a campaign against barbarous races, who. by re
; peated acts of plunder and murder, had pro
voked their fate. But neither our naval of
i ficers nor Sir Harry Smith are accustomed to
> shoot their prisoners cn masse: on the contrary.
* except on the field of battle, our commanders
j have rather erred on the side of leniency. 2Vor
can it be admitted that such vindications of au
i thority are necessary to the interests of society.
: Such a principle is strictly a peninsular one; and
though it may be acted upon by Xarv.ez and
i the military statesmen of Spain, it will scarcely
be recognized by the rest of the world. Again,
it is alleged that the number and resources of the
invaders aggravated the criminality of their at
tempt; but it would he equally true, and more
to the purpose, to say that the power and resour
; ces of the Spanish government, for its imme
diate security, heighten the imprudence, if not
guilt, of its conduct.”

Medical College of Georgia.
Ihe annual session ot lectures in this institu
tion was opened yesterday, by Professor H. V.
M. Miller, in an address replete with interest,
and well calculated to sustain the well establish
ed reputation of the eloquent speaker. The class
in attendance is thought to Ire equal, if not larger
than at the opening of any previous session, and
it will probably be doubled in the course of the
next week or ten days, as is usually the case.
The prosperity of an institution so eminently
conducive to the interests of this community, is
highly gratifying. We are informed that the
valuable collection of objects recently purchased

The number of visitors reported as present on
this interesting occasion, numbered 53,001. it
ended with the various demonstrations of loyalty
which such a scene of national triumph may
most naturally hi' supposed to inspire, and with
the same freedom from any exception to the

Mr. Thompson realized a profit of $ 1,000 on the

The Fire Antiihilator, (says the Baltimore

The Electro-Magnetic Engine. —The New
York Journal of Commerce of the 30th ult, says:
‘‘A very interesting exhibition of the powers of
the galvanic battery, as applied to
took place at the Broadway Tabernacle on Tues
day evening, before an audience chiefly made up
. of literary and scientific men, present by' invita
tion. We noticed among those present. Mr.
i Erickson, the inventor of the propeller, Mr. Du
rant, the aeronaut, Major Gen. Sanford. Gen.
Hall, and others variously distinguished.
“The engine exhibited was of the stationary
kind: in appearance not unlike the steam engine;
j being provided with a connecting rod. crank,
and fiy wheel, and possessing a power equal to
that of eight horses. Upon the motive power
1 : being applied by means of a wire communicating
with a battery of fifty platers, brilliant corrusca
tious of electric light were emitted, accompanied
by a quick succession of sounds much like a vol
ley of pistol shots, and the engine was at once put
in rapid motion. A strong opposing force applied
to the periphery of the fly-wheel, by means of
a lever, but slightly retarded its motion. These
results elicted frequent manifestations of applause-
A circular saw. which stood near the engine and
was connected with it by an endless revolving
band, cut up boards with the greatest facility.—
Two bars of iron, the heaviest weighing 530
pounds were suspended in mid-air, without any
visible support. This was done by placing them
within large helices of copper wire, in a perpen
dicular position; and the galvanic current being
made to circulate around them, they were in
stantly raised from the floor. The l’rofessor
said bars of any weight could, he raised to any
desired height, whether it were two feet or two
hundred, with equal facility. In the case of the
engine, a bar is placed [horizontally and given a
reciprocating motion, by the attractive and re
pelling forces of the electric agent. Mr. Page
stated that this new motive power could be fur
nished at a cost equal to 52,5!) per day for each
horse-power, lie has found, as the size of the
battery was increased, the economy of the ap
plication of this power was increased in the
same ratio. It could be applied to small engines
more economically than steam.
“A more interesting exhibition has seldom
taken place. The achievement of such results
betokens new wonders to be revealed.”
A new Cotton Factory.— We learn (says
the Montgomery Journal.) from the Selma En
terprise) that a Cotton Factory lias been estab
lished in Dallas county, by Mr. Jones M. Gunn.
The building is of brick, two stories high, and is
ninety-two feet in length and forty-five in width.
The Factory has in operation 1152 spindles, and
all necessary machinery for cleaning and prepar
ing the cotton.. The whole machinery is driven
by a forty-horse power engine. It is the inten
tentionoftho proprietor to add looms to the Fac
tory next summer.
This speaks well for Dallas, one of the prin
cipal cotton growing counties of the State.—
Similar enterprizes throughout the State would
add vastly to her wealth and prosperity, and
would serve as a safe investment lor capital other
wise unprofitable employed. Build your Facto

ot Montgamery. Spend your money at home
do your own work, patronize your own me
chanics and in a few years time you’ll see the
difference.
A Singular Discovery —We learn from the
Detroit Free Press, that a discovery was made
at a bar-room in that city, the other day, that
created a little astonishment. A youth, who
has for lor two months past been officiating as
bar-keeper to the establishment, was discovered
on the arrival of a young man from the Fast, to
be no other than a girl in male attire, who he
came to marry! She hail beep, entirely unsuspec

tied, left for Buffalo on the vessel of which her
‘‘liege lord" is Captain.
The Ignited States Steamer Princeton
which has been rebuilt and enlarged, was launch
ed from the navy,yard at Charlestown, Mass.,
on Wednesday afternoon, and moved in beauti
ful style, without accident .of any kind. The
Boston Mail says:—
" She is stoutly built, of exceedingly tine mo
del, is said to be the sharpest vessel in the LTni
ted States Navy, is beautifully lined, and posses
ses a very handsome run. She supports the ori
ginal carved head ut the old Princeton, and some
ot the planking of the same vessel. Her frame
is live-oak throughout. She is said to be more
thoroughly copper-fastened than any other ship
of her size in the service. The engines of the
old Princeton are improved and used in the new
vessel, with new boilers. She is larger than the
old Princeton. She will use the old rigging.—
The Princeton bids fair to outstrip ail other ves
sels in the navy iii point of speed. She confers
honor upon her designer and builder.”
Ihe Iron Interest.— Jin entering wedge. —
! Alluding to.the reports to the nextjCongress by

The Courier des Etats Uni* states, that after ;
Kossuth had arrived on board the Mississippi, he
received a despatch from the Turkish govern
ment, informing him that Austria had taken
serious umbrage at bis liberation, and suggested
that he should delay his departure until the dif
ficulty should be arranged. The generous Hun
garian was disposed to accede to this request, but j
the Captain of the Mississippi interposed, and
declaredJthat he would not suffer such a viola
tion ot American hospitality; that Kossuth, hav
ing stepped on board an American vessel, was
upon American soil.
An official order has been published by the 1
Post Master General for increased compensation i
