The Union is giving US, from day to
day, many little incidents of private his
tory that will one day be valuable. Per-
haps no addition has been made of late to
our Contemporary history more valuable
than the brief sketch which narrated the
manner in which the Richmond elite out
witted the Albany regency with regard to
Mr.. VAN BUREN's nomination in 1874.
Mr.. WRIGHT's menace, in his letter to
Mr. Richie on that occasion, throws a
flood of light on the events of the last
Presidential campaign.
In the ex-oficial organ of the 10th in
slant there is similar development. 1t
is well known that Mr.. VAN buren, was
always recommended as " northern man
with southern principles J" but we were
not aware before that " no man more bit
teriy denounced the Abolitionists to his
intimate friends when he was a candidate
for the southern votes.'' What with the
insight the senior editor is giving us into
the private correspondence of the period,
and private conversation among intimate
friends, we are in fair way of being
pretty well enlightened as to the secret
history of the times. We hope the senior
editor will continue these revelations.

A correspondent from the North has en-
closed US the above slip, with the obser-
walton that ''it ought to be contradicted, if
untrue-and if true, (Which / cannot for

disgraceful piece of jobbery."
1t is in vain for us to attempt to con ira

we therefore confne ourselves to few
of those which have some show of plausi-
bility to sustain them. The above para
graph, we supposed, could not mislead the
most credulous. But since our cores
pondent deems it worthy of contradiction,
we will only say that it is false from be-
ginning to end-or, in Anglo Saxon, lie.

BEn.-The Paris papers give strange piece of
gossip about Benz. While he was at Paris. he
dlned one day with the American minister The
subject of conversation was presentments, the pos
sibllity of which the envoy rdculed BEN, how
ever, declared that three times in the course of his
life he had seen tomb on which was carved the
date Of his decease in 1850. In Pennsylvania he
received many wounds; and, having discovered
that his surgeon was uneasy, said calmly that he
had yet another year to live. Full of confidence in
this presentiment, BEN again threw himself into
the contest, and said that he was confident he would
live until 1850. May he do So

The prompt recall of Mr.. Commissioner
WELLER is highly honorable to the Ad-
ministration; and we hope sincerely that
they will act with equal promptness in
every other case of an abused public
trust
The fifth article of the treaty of Guada-
loupe provided that the Governments of
Mexico and of the United States should
each appoint commissioner and sur
veyor, who, before the expiration of a year
from the date of the exchange of the rati-
hcations of the treaty, should meet at the
port of San Diego, and proceed to run and
mark the boundary in its whole course to
the mouth of the Rio Bravo del Norte.
The year was suffered to expire before
Mr.. WELLER reached San Diego, and it
was known that be could not arrive there
in season when he was recalled.
Again, the law of Congress appropriated
but $4,000 to defray all the expenses of
the boundary commission. Before reach
ing his place of destination, Mr.. WELLER
made drafts on the Secretary to an amount
which we have not precisely ascertain
ed, but on which there have been paid
$50, 1925 by acquisitions upon the treasu-
ry. Ofthis amount S24, S49 80 were &C
companied by vouchers; and, contrary to
the regular mode of doing business at the
department, drafts we're paid to the amount
Of S., ATS 6S without the production Of any
vouchers. But when new drafts came
pouring in to swell this unvouched-for bal.
ance, and the Department saw that if they
continued 10 honor these drafts the whole
fund would be exhausted before the Com
missioner had reached the scene of his la
bors, it was very properly determined to
cut short the whole business, by calling
Mr.. WELLER home.
This is all as it should be. The great
laxity that has hitherto prevailed in the
public service in regard to money matters

We call attention to the Geographic de-
spatches relating to the affairs OF Hungary.
The prospects of the Magyars are far more
promising than they have hitherto appear
ed; and, if confirmed by the next arrival,
will add to the buoyancy of the anticipa-
tons of their friends. There seems to be
but little doubt that Benz has defeated Luz
ders, the Russian, and that Gorgey has
out-manGuvred the Ban.
We have nothing additional in relation
to the State of Italy, and there is an utter
paucity of matters of interest in relation
to France. The arrival of each steamer
is expected to solve the problem of Euro
pean revolutions, yet, on the contrary,
seems in effect to add to uncertainty. The
friends of European freedom in America

The Abduction Case.

We have papers from New Orleans to
the Sd instant, at which time the reports
from Mobile of the I'd, which have been
received here, must have been known.
The articles which appeared some ten
days since in the New York Erening Post
had been received and had attracted great
attention. One of the New Orleans pa
pers, commenting on the reported suicide
of Machin, treats his death as a mystery
entirely unexplained. AT this distance
from the scene, and in matter where so
much depends on the credibility of wit
nesses, it is impossible to form definite
opinion, especially when public sentiment
is as much divided as it seems to be i'm
New Orleans. The matter appears, how
ever, to be shrouded in deep mystery, and
we shall look anxiously for the denoue-

people marked out for disgraceful executions, and
women of the first class exposed in their persons,
and subjected the scourge; such are the accounts
that reach u.s. As people we can give no aid in
arms and men TO the HungariaDs; but as one OF the
community of nations, we have a right TO enforce,
and duty TO perform. We are interested in seeing
that the rules which civilization has prescribed for
the conduct of war shall be observed by nations at

When Austria subjects to the scourge women of
worth and character-lhus trampling civilization in

state of civilization and refinement; and but
poorly acquit ourselves of our duty if we keep
company with those who war both agains, the one

the struggles of Europe--no stepping out of our
sphere Of neutrality; it would be but the enforce

In the war which Russia is waging for the main
tenance of despotc principles, the course of France
has greatly disappointed me. The only way in
which she can save her own soil from the tread of
the Cossack is to meet him on the northern con-
fines of Hungary. Such, at this distance from the

it good plea in bar to these official abuses,
to say that the offender has "served in
