As you are already aware, at the very be-
ginning of the Hungarian Revoutioh, several
Secretaries were appointed in Kossuth's Cabi-
net one of them understanding Bohemian,
another Croatian, another Italian, another
French and German, and all of them UNDER
standing Magyar. Among them had the
place Of Translator from the French into the
Magyar.
OF Kossuth, one might almost say that the
physical part Of him has no longer an exis-
tence Of lis own; the man is nothing but
spiritual energy, for if it were not so, the
perishing, sickly hull would long since have
been dissolved in spite or all the wisdom Of
the physicians But he is perhaps the only
living being whose mighty will is alone suffi.
'cient by its own force to urge forward the
wheels of physical nature, and keep them
constantly in movement. He will not be
sick, and he is not Great as are his bodily
infirmi,ies and sufrerings he is strong and in
defatigable. His spiritual resources his will,
his enthusiasm, endow him with the powers
of giant, although his physical strength is
not more than that of boy of six years. He
bids defiance to death that threatens him in
so many different maades; his spirit keeps
the body alive Tha, spir, is still young and
Vigorous, and can only cease to be so when
the too great tension shall have rrtated the
nerves 10 such degree that they refuse TO
obey the will, and thus the organism destroys
itself. do not express myself clearly but
words will serve 10 further. But 10 our
labors.

began to dictate letter to Bem for Inc TO
write, and so we were employed some four
hours, during which | wrote two letters and
each of my three colleagues three, all by his

prepared two dispatches, one for Perezel, the
other for Comorn

dance for the whole day, and went with the
Ministers, Szemere and Dnschek, who came
for him to the House OF Representatives, Ia
king along with him some papers, on which
he had made several memoranda.
He came back about o'ciock in the after
noon, accompanied by several Representa-
tives, with whom he had a conference Of
two hours, answering their questions and sug.
restons; this did not prevent him from ex-
7amining the documen. we had prepared du.

fcrs. While he was thus debating 10 us
three or four letters, with totally different
contents, being giving of together by the
same lips, we had to be exceedingly careful
in taking them down.
AT six O'Clock came more dispatches, and
verbal inquiries, all Of which were answered
without any delay. My dinner consisted OF
glass Of wine, piece Of ham, and some
bread, which | had on the table beside me,
md disposed of with the best appetite as l
VAS writing. The Representatives, with one
reception, went away: the one remaining,
at down at the side of Kossuth and began 10

i've you some conception of the iabors OF
nc evening, will tell You that from half
ast to half-past he dictated to us, at The
,me time, five letters, all of different con-
.nts! One Of them was TO Dembinski, one
Bem, the third to Paris, the fourth to Vi
ma, and the fifth to Gyongyos; two were
German, one in French, and one in Hun
arian!
Is it a man who can do such things!
My friend, if beyond the ocean, in the free
ID happy America, there are men who feel
'mpalhy for our good cause, who desire the
ccess of our efforts, do not ask their prayers
