America’s Answer to Kossuth*
The American idea ot the policy ot Intervention
has b**en given to the world, trngibly, practically*
emphatically. Kossuth came, stayed, has gone. His
star rose brightly from its dark and bloody horizon
—it took its majestic way to the zenith, burning as it
rose—it paused fc while in the empyrean, and threw
its glittering spumdor. over the land, and then it
waxed and waned, and vanished from the scene !
He came a stranger, and was received as a friend, —
for awhile he playedpAMALiKL, and won by the on
trancing music of hi 3 tongue, thousands sat at his
feet, and listened qjictfained to the charming elo
quence that flowed from his lips, as water from a
fountain—and now he hath made his exit, and no
tears fall upon the foot prints he'has left behind him
as the only memorials of his presence. It was a
terrible t?st, to which he subjected America—he
spoke in and with fire, to fire; but the very fierceness
of his flame, consumed the heat he sought to create,
and the fruit he hoped to pluck, is now dead ashes
on bis Up ; yet lor awhile the scales vibrated trem
blingly. He brought with him the dead body of
Hungarian liberty—lie parted the fair hair from her
pallid brow, ind pointed to the accursed stamp of
the tyrant’s heel upon its fairness —he held up her
bloody mantle, aud showed the rent the envious
Georgey made,—and where the ‘ well-beloved Bru
tus stabbed,’ and then, while the mighty hosts u
round him were mute with sorrow, he waved his
wand, and said in tones of thunder to the corpse’
“ Maiden, arise !” and to the multitude, “ She is not
dead, but blecpcth 1” ’Twas beautiful, and sorrowful;
America wept, and the very stones seemed about to
” rise in mutiny.” “ What,” said the enthu& ast.
“ shall the mother of liberty refuse milk to a child !
Shall the mightiest, the freest nation on earth be a
witness to this triumph of might over ght ! Shull
freedom respect the bonds she hath entered into
with despots ! Shall parchment treaties withhold her
hand from crushing them to the earth ! Is there no
Lafayette lor down-trodden Hungary as there was
lor oppressed America ?” But ere the answer, came
the sober second thought—reaction rolled its tide
across the scene, and swept off the glozed eloquence
that had so nearly tarnished national honor, broken
international treaties, and trampled upon interna
tionallaw. We had tears for Hungary—sympathy
with her in her tribulation, sorrow for her woes,
and enthusiastic admiration for her dords. But
America stood not to Austria as did France to Eng
land, and there could be no Lafayette. National
honor was pledged to non-intervention, and the glory
of freeing Hungary could never have blotted out the
obloquy of national treachery from the nation’s es
cutcheon. She had put herself upon the same footing
with tyrants and entered into bonds with them it is
true, but the nation’s greatness, the nation’s honor,
and the nation’s owrf existence were the considera
tions which induced it. Kossuth asked the American
Nation to turn traitor to the world, and to their love
of liberty he looked for the boon he craved. But
though the struggle was a mighty one, National
honor came to the rescue, and gave the indignant
negative to his prayer. Had he bowed to that de
cision as it behooved him to do; had he returned
to his own land, and told his people how truly
great he had found the American Nation,—had
he pointed to her example, waved his sword once
nure, gave the watchword Liberty or death! and
gained the freedom of Hungary or gave her an hono
rable grave, he would still be enshrined in the hearts
of those people who while they were marble to his
persuasions, were not adamant to his woes—his
name would still be undimmed on the page of heroes
and linked with those of Tell, Washington und La.
fayette, he would have been a guiding light for gene
rations yet to come. We will not follow him after
he ceased to be great; we sh dl not advert to bis sec
tional appeals, his invocation of party spirit to grant
what the nation alone had a right to give, nor to h!s
efforts to excite mutiny among those vvbc had tied
from the dungeons and tyrannies of the old world to
the free asylum of America—nor yet to his humble
exodus from the shoies on which he first set foot os
a hero. He carries with him ii is answer—let him
learn that neither Liberty imr Immortality are to he
gained by khe arts lie practised. If he be the putiot
and the the hero that he claims to be,let him si ck an
honorable grave in the land that he hath defended,
and though now his star is dim, let him not fear that
America will refuse her tears to the grave of the
wise governor, the brave general,the poet-statesman,
the eloquent orator, the misguide and Kossuth.

Can anybody tell U 9 what i9 good for cater.
pillars,c. is good to exterminate them ? The oaks
throughout the city are infested wiih them, and their
presence is telling visibly in the crumpled sickly
dead looking leaves, which have usurped the proper
greenery of these beautiful shade-trees. On our
way to the Bay to-day, we counted four caterpillars
that had lost their balance and fallen to the pave
ment. We cannot describe them scientifically, but
we venture to say we could draw a pretty little
screech from some of the ladies, if we were to give
their daguerreotypes as they looked to us. Three of
the four had ceased to squirm ; all were in fine order
and fat enough to warrant any Coroner’s jury in a
verdict of “ died of apoplexy.” The last of the four
was Bom • four inches in length and would have 1
measured an inch and a half around the waist—was
unctuously corpulent, and at the time we saw him,
he W is wriggling about with a sinuosity halt Polka ,
half Schotiishe We had a great mind to squash
him, as the schoolboy said, but our heart sunk as
our boot rose, and we gave him a gentle push with
the foot, that sent him rolling over and over into
the grass, like a flour barrel down the bluff. But
joking aside, what isgood for them ? If there is any
feasible mode of getting rid of the nuisance we should
like to see it tried—it is a pity to have our foliage,
the crowning glory of Savannah, thus ruthlessly de
voured at the verjj time wlieu it is becoming more
and more grateful; we shall lose not only the shade
and the soft whisperings of the leaves, but our au
tumn tints of scarlet, russet, golden and brown, wili
be snatched from us, unless we “up and aim.” A
chimney sweep perched among the branches, with a
sponge on the end of a cane, a little alcohol on the
sponge, and a lucifer nutch to the alcohol, would do
sharp execution in a very short time, while the dam
rge to the leaves would be very slight, if the flame
were discreetly managed. We can think of nothing
else but this, and it must go for what it is worth. —
Have you a better plan ? What is it? m.

Tlilril Candidate Convention.
We are indebted to the Journal 4” Messenger, for
an extra of yesterday, containing the morning’s pro
ceedings in full. They have reference more to the
organization of the Convention, than to its action*
and are uninteresting.
Some resolutions offered by Mr. R. P. Urippe l
were in substance ns follows :
That a Committee of three -rom each district be
appointed to report action, —that said Committee be
empowered to confer with Committee from the
Scott Convention, with a view if possible, to harmo*
ny of action, and that the Secretaries communicate
names of Committee, <S:c. to the Scott Convention*
The following resolution was then offered by S
C. Elam, Esq., as an amendment to the resolution,
providing lor a conference with the Scott Conven
tion :
“ Provided , That in no event the members of this
Convention be'ldr v> ted to the support of General
Scott.
Much discussion here ensued?* and the resolution
5 ’ii* withdrawn: debate upon it renewed, and it was
finally withdrawn j Mr. Trippe’s resolutions were
th *n carried.
Convention adjourned to 3 o'clock, P. M.
We are indebted to a friend for the following
interesting extract from a private lette/ in reference
to the Crops, dated St. Luke’s Parish, (S. C.) Au
gust 16, 1852:
“ My crop of Cotton and Provisions, are almost as
good as 1 could wish—and those of my neighbors are
tolerably fair. If you could be brought heie without
your knowledge and put down in my field, you
would think that you were in the Western country,
where crops grow without manure or incessant la
bor. My Corn is good for 20 bushels per acre, which
is excellent for this low country—Potatoes, never
better—Cotton large and well fruited, and without
some accident.promises a large yield. lam sorry
to ’nform you that the Caterpillars have made their
appearance on a neighboring island, and it remains
to be seen whether they will pay my Cotton field a
visit—if they do, all will be lost.”
The'late Bishop ot Norwich, in his “History of
Birds.” r. latep that “ fifty-six pigeons were brought
over from a part of Holland,where they are much at
tended to, and turned out from London at'half past
four in the morning. They all reached their dove
cotes at home by noon ; * but one favourite pigeon,
called Nopoleon, arrived about quarter after ten
o’clock—having performed the distance of three
hundred miles at the rate’of above fifty miles|an hour
supposing that he lost not a moment, and proceed
ed in cistiaight line.” It appears from various trials
that the possible llight of a carrier pigeon is about
j sixty miles an hour.
The principle ol introducing eye-stones to extract
, foreign matters is this, and not owing, as vulgarly
supposed, to the crawling about ot a smooth piece of
. sulphate of lime on some forty or fifty feet. The
stone is so much larger than the extraneous body
already there, that it excites a pr portionably larger
quantity of tears, to w’ash it away : in effect, there
fore we submit to a greater temporary evil, to get
rid of a lesser one.
A little boy, four or five years old, was much vex
ed with his grandmother for boxing his ears, but not
daring to sauce her directly he took up Ins favorite
cat,si rolling her back,thus addressed her: ‘Well, pussy
1 wish one ot us three were dead ! and it aint you,
pussy, and it aint me pussy.
The Boston Transcript says that the ponderous

American stock of gold in the Bank
of England is notHghcr than it has been at recent
periods anterior to"lhe California kflux : the price of
silver as measured in gold.isnot sensibly higher than
it was, and the prices ot commodities far fromjbeing
higher, are d* cidedly lower. What, then, is the ex
planation ? The explanation seems to be very sim
ple, viz : There has been an immense absorption of
gold into the currencies of America and France, and
that in V ranee at least.there has been an enormous
liberation of silver fromthe currency in consequence
of tile introduction of gold. In bolt America and
France the Standard is what is called “double.”—
that is to say, both gold and and silver coins are legal
tender, according to acerta : n scale of proportion es
tablished by law between the two metals. In Amer
ica a gold eagle is declared to be equal to as many
silver dollars, and in France a gold Napoleon to s>>
many silver francs. The consequences is this: all
debtors pay their debts in the cheapest metal. If
gold bea*s an a.io. silver of course is used, and gold
coins are scarce. If the agio on gold disappears,
and is transferred to silver, then gold coins are used,
and silver coins are melted into bullion This is
precisely what has taken place both in France and
in America during the last two years to a very great
extent. Theincreased supply of gold has first re
moved the agio from gold, and then silver has been
rapidly abandoned as currency, and gold introduced.
We are not able to state m figures the extent to
which the substitution has been carried in America ;
but some returns have been published from the
French Mint, which strikingly show the effect of the
change in France. We learn from these returns,
I that, while the coinage of gold in France was less
than a half milli n sterling f r some years previous
to 1848, it rose in that year to one und a hall millions
sterling ; in 1b49, to two millions ; in 1850, to three
and a half millions ; and in the first ten months of
-1851, to no le?s than ten and a quarter in Uions. In
America, the facts we imagine, would be still strong
er. We are enabled, therefore, with this evidence
before us. to account pretty satisfact irily for the
twenty millions of gold already yielded by Califor
nia.— [ London Athenaum.
