of whom came through with us from New York,

The digeings, as the water falls, are now be-
coming every day more nch. You will soon hear
of large quantities of gold to each man per day /;
and they will be true. A man can, by hard labor,
average to make more per day here, clear of all the
high expenses, than he can In the States in two
weeks. The diggings fer two or three months
have been rather hard, on account OF high water ;
yet saw man last week, who had become I'M

March, and in less than three months brought

some lazy devils go, who do not get more than IS

were there. You cannot find man here to talk
about work, no matter what, at less price than
$50 TO $500 per month, and board hm while
clerks get from $500 TO- $500 permonth The few
articles not brought for sale, must give a profit Of
more 10 me, since my landing, than what was
receiving in New York. Now, w., in view of all
the changes that may take place, do not advise
any person 10 come here, but will say that, in my
opinion, should you come, you would at the end of
the first year make more cash than you will In New
York ten years But if you come, don't get stuck
with breeZing.

me to say, that s., Fl. & Co purchased half OF the
schooner John Dunlap, and b. the other half b.,
before he had paid for his share, sold it at adj

that one operation is more than he would make in
Vermont, in law, in two years Well, we kept
one half Of the schooner, as we wanted her to run
upon the river for ourselves, for passengers and
freight generally. She cost $4,000 for one-haf
The result of the purchase is, that in two trips,
which she has made, up and back, she has cleared
herself and now is the best craft running upon
the river

KossUrH.-When Hungary was invaded by Je-
laschich in September last, and Sc, 600 armed men
were collected in fortnight, in the neighborhood
of Stuhlwessenburg, TO repel the aggression, Kos
suth issued proclamation, from which we extract
the following sentences
1T is an eternal law of God that whatsoever
abandoneth himself will be forsaken by the Lord"
" Ii is eternal law that whosoever assisteth him.
SELF him will the Lord assist " Ii is divine law
that false swearing, by its results chasseth ITSELF
" Ii is law Of our Lord that whosoever availeth
himself of perjury and injustice prepareth himself
the triumph Of Justice" 81 Standing firm on these
eternal laws Of the universe, swear that my pro-
phecy Will be fulfilled; il is, that the freedom of
Hungary will be effected by this invasion of Hun
gary by Jellaschich.'
This proclamation, which electrified the chival-
rous people to whom it was addressed, concludes
IN a style not unworthy an Eastern prophet, nor
unsuited to the genius and origin of his race, by
these words:
% Between Vesprim and Welssenburg the women
shall dig deep grave, in which will bury the
name, the honor, the nation Of Hungary, or our
enemies. And on this grave shall stand monu-
ment inscribed with record Of our shame, So
God Furnishes eo,0udies;' we will plant it the
trees of freedom, eterraly green from out Of whose
foliage shall be heard the voice Of God speaking as
from the fiery bush to Moses, The spot on which
thou standest is holy ground thus do | reward
the brave To the Magyars freedom, renown,
wel-being, and happiness"
kossuth has appointed his sister general super
intendent Of the military hospitals, and she has
published address, calling on all the ladies' TO
lend their assistance in this work Of charity.

The Wings have condemned President Polk for
ordering Gen. Taylor TO march the troops of the
United States to the Rio Grande, and thus 'uncon-
additionally" commencing the war. YETI they are
ready to vote for the soho adpissd the President to
make this very order.
The Wings pretend to be horor-stricken at sla-
very; they have advocated the Wimot proviso, and
have declared they would never vote for slave
holder. Yet they are supporting for President man
wko Uo hundred siapes and toho has been at least
purchasing slapes nearly all his life.
The Wings affected to be horror-strcken at Mr.
Van Buren, because it was contemplated to employ
Cuba bloodhounds to hunt the Indians in the Semi
mole war; yet they supporting for President the
perry ,ch0 commanded in Florida that OCCASION
and wh0 recommended that pery measure.
When General Jackson was candidate for the
Presidency, who had not been in the army for near
twenty years, and then but occasionally the Wings
affected great horror at the election of military
chieftain. Now, they support for President man
,oho Is still general in the army, and Who has other
ground on ,ohch to allocate his election srcept that he
has been successful military chieftain.
Can such brazen inconsistency, such bare-faced
hypocrisy, fail to disgust honest and truthful men
And are there no honest men in the Wing ranks TO
be Disguised by such arrant knavery in politics!
We shall see. Let the religious men of the Wing
party be guilty Of such conduct and reconcile it to
their consciences if they can. No of principle
and integrity believes in the atrocous maxim, that
call is fair in politics." And if there are any such
men in the Wing ranks, they will scout this foul
and disgusting Dissertation of principle, of which
the leaders of their party have been guilty, in the
nomination of General Taylor, under the crcum-
stances in which they have presented him for the
sufrages Of the American people

the part not illuminated, that he says, is not re-
CURED for the wants of navigation. / say 1t is
the channel to the north and west of Execution
Rocks is much wider and better than that to the
south, and the light was necessary all around the
horizon.
Now, as to the general assertions of the ineffi-
cheney. | thought should have to get new testl-
mony this hot weather, Il am now writing in my
shirt sleeves,) but happened to take up report
made to the Secretary of the Treasury In June,
1916, by Leutenants Bache and Jenkins, United
States Navy, who had just returned from an ex-
animation Of the lighthouses Of Europe. On page
l6 they say: ''We have visited some Of the lights
in the vicinity of New York, in Chesapeake bay,
and at the Capes of Virginia and Delaware, &c;
besides which we have seen many of the lights on
the coasts of Maine and Massachusetts, on Long
Island sound, and Chesapeake bay These visits
and observations have enabled us to draw, as we
believe, fair and just comparison between the
lights on our coasts and those of other countries,
and we feel constrained although with deep regret,
to state that far inferior TO any and all we
saw during our visit to Europe"
This extract, | suppose, will do, if not, =" more
tomorrow
Now, have few more explanations to make
Just now, and plenty in reserve. There have been
erected within the last year, five lighthouses, and
notices have been published OF the fact. DEFY
any man, from those notices, to locate them upon
the chart, or to use them as lighthouse should be
used. The lights are those Of Little Egg harbor,
Prospect harbor, Boldly Island near Hateras,
Cape Conaveral and Execution Rocks. Instead of
stating with precision their height, location, bear
ing, and distances, and how near they could be APP
preached il is stated that light has been erected
on such place. leaving the mariner to guess it OUT
and in the case of Boddy's Island and Little Egg
harbor lights, it has been only an accident that pre-
vented the loss of valuable vessel although took
especial pains to print and circulate notice eau
tioning vessels as to Little Egg harbor.
feel obliged to the correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, for the mldness of his terms.
When we began this subject in 1888, the whole
host Of lighthouse lamp and oil contractors were
invoked, and awful insinuations were made against
us; but we have lived, the lights are better, but
they should be much better. If he will only come
out over his own name, that may know who calls
me /" novice" and send his communication to a
New York paper, where can see and answer it, il
may do the marine interest some service, but give
him notice that if he answers me anonymously,
will him. GEO. w. BLUNT.

to subjugate the people," Greatly and
truly -
"Methinks the lady doth protest too much"
What bald nonsense is this! How pal
Pably and VIGOROUSLY fanciful the assertion
that any party or shadow of party exists
in this country with sentiments unfriendly
to the struggling masses of Europe, and
sympathising with their oppressors! What
libel on the great majority of our coun-
trymen is such an imputation! And then,
to bring home the preposterous charge
more distinctly, the Union adds, that these
denunciations Of French republicans by
the British press "are repeated and re-
echoed by the Federal Wing presses of
this country, representing the party in
power" Yes; but in nine instances out
of ten they are quoted precisely as the po-
litical discourses of the Union are quoted,
not for the truth they contain, but to ex-
pose the feints and thrusts which an active
antagonist is practising.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-07-03

The Union is indisposed to prolong our
"sickly existence" by adding to our emo
toriety" in the way of discussing with us
diverse specified classes Of questions of
interest to the public. We feel better al
ready. We were afraid our contemporary
would undertake our health. When we
call to mind what sort of "dry nurse" it
made to the last administration, we can
but congratulate ourselves upon escaping
like fosterage. Were the Union to
change its mind in this particular we would
straightway give up the ghost.
