Extra Pay and Bounty Land.

We learn that the paymaster of the Marine corps,
at head quarters, has declined paying three months
extray pay to marines under the joint resolution of
Congress ofthe 10th August, ls4s, unless the appi-
cation be accompanied by declaration, oath,
from the marine, that he has received prize
money, or that he has received only 50 much-set-
ting forth the amount he has receivcdo
This we think very just step on the part Of the
paymaster. IL Is protection to the marine, who,
in time of extremity, sold his discharge to the
speculator for paltry sum of money. As the
bounty land warrant cannot be obtained until the
prize money is settled, and that cannot be set
tied until the affidavit Of the marine is produced
the speculator will be cut off from his expected
orbitant gains, and the marines (the most of whom
arc now at sea- can, on their return, refund the
pttance received as the price of their claim, and
draw their bounty themselves Congress, too, in
the mean time, will, no doubt, interpose for the
protection of the marine, by passing law direct
ing the land warrant to be sent 10 the claimant
himself, and not TO the speculator.
We are creditably informed that nearly one
thousand of the claims of these poor fellows have
been purchased in New York, Philadelphia, and
Washington city, at prices ranging from five to
forty dollars, when each claim IS now worth one
hundred and forty dollars.
The legislation above alluded to, would, we CON
ccivc be nothing more than justice, all purch =
of claims TO bounty land, previous TO the issue
OF the warrant, were in contemplation of fraud
upon the act of 18th February, lS47. We learn
that proposition upon the subject will be intro
duced in Congress at early period of the APP
preaching session, and hope il will meet with a
prompt contamination.
We are glad TO be able 10 say that there has been
very little of that hard hearted speculation here,
although this is important naval station and
many marines have been discharged at this place

The great work upon which the artist is en-
gagged for the Capitol, is in separate building. IL
Is group typical of the triumph of the white over
the red race. An Indian, in the act of attacking
hunters wife and child, is seized by the hunter.
There Is something very large and simple in the
conception and treatment OF this work. Especially
the figure of the hunter is most manly and noble.
Possibly romantic sense of Indian dignity may
be wounded by the helpless posture of the savage,
yet that expresses not too forcbly for the fact the
hopeless determination of the race.
The full dignity and beauty of so large work
cannot be appreciated, not even conceived i'll the

Hungarian Refugees at Hamburgh-DiscIo-
of General kIapka.

banquet TO welcome and honor celebrated Hun
garan refugees took place on the goth October, in
one Of the first hotels at Hamburger. The audience
were mortified to hear from General Klapka that
the French government refused an asylum 10 the
Hungarian emgrants; though political refugees
from that country were welcomed in France under
the government of Louis XIV.
One of the speakers at the banquet used tho
phrase, Hungary is crushed 20 DEATH "No, mol"
exclaimed General Klapka, Hungary is not
crushed to death; she is but little relaxed from
her horrible struggle with two overwhelming
powers; but verify she wants only breath TO in
flame her again TO a second heroica nsurrcction."
General klapka being there asked if the rumored
stipulations OF the treaty of capituaton Of Comorn
for general amnesty TO all Hungarian captvcs,
including Count Batthyan, were true he answered
that IL had not been positively granted, but, a. a
matter OF honor and humanity IL soemnly
promised as soon as Comorn should be surrendered
He FASTENED, from this motive, the conclusion Of
the treaty of surrendering BY the following afro
cious facts the knavcry Of the Austrian govern
mcnt, and its low per6dy TO the Hungarian nation,
again signalizcd for eternity.
Gorgcy characterized by Gen. klapka as n
real traitor and common place egotist destitute of
all lofty aspirations for the holy Of liberty
He further believes that Gorgey, who has been
overrated, may not have dcspiscd Russian god
but il is not ascertained, though doubt exists
that he frustrated the plan of Kossuth for annihi
lating the Austrian government at Vienna, last
Spring; which matter of difficulty before the
inroad Of the Russians, as the Austrians were at
that time entirely routed.
Gorgcy also anxiously concealed from the Hun
garian army the report of the glorious sally of the
garrison of Comorn ON the 81 Of August under
Klapka and il did not become known till after his
detection on the 18th Of August The disastrous
catastrophe at Villages was 10 such "A degree per-
picking, that every hope from resistance vanished
klspka was at that time recruiting 5000 men, and
preparing for All invasion of Syria.
The highest vcncration is paid by Klapka TO tho
genius and greatness of the character of Kosstth
In Kapka's opinion, Kossuth is worth 100, 900 Hun
garians but Kossuth aimed at too much al once
and WIS too decided for the entire independence of
Hungary, and for a republican government But
for this the most favorable conditions would have
been agreed TO, in the spring, by Austria, under
English and French guaranty.
The emigration from Hungary is now daily in
creasing There are 100 Hungarians now at Ham
burgh, and the most liberal collections have been
made for them. The banker Heine, for Instance,
has subscribed, for himself alone 900 marks banco,
equivalent TO $4,000. General Klapka has gone TO
England, where he will have an interview with
Kosa,ith, who is expected there on the 9th instant

Russia and Austria having demanded the extra
dition of the Poles and Hungarians who found a
shelter in Turkey, the Sultan gave decided
negative" A letter from the Car was then re-
reived in Constantinople, by an express messenger,
requiring Kossuth and other refugees TO be surren-
dered unless they "chose TO rcnounce the faith Of
their forcfathers in the religion of Christ, and be-
come Mussulmen." With reference 10 this, Kos
suth writes "My answer does not admit OF hesiti-
ton. Between death and shame, the choice can be
neither dubious nor difficult. Ilcave no heritage to
my children; they shall, at least, bear an unsul-
lied name. Gods will be done am prepared to
del
Forced TO forego the dreadful strife,
Awakened by tyrannic sway
Which sought 10 crush the quly ring NE,
And liberty, OF Hungary;
To leave the crimson battle field,
Where dying patriots groaned aloud,
While burning towns were made 10 yield
A dark o'ershadowing pail and shroud;
The Turk refused not to extend
The rights of hospitality,
And promised that he d be the friend
OF those who should to Widen flee.
Columbia gazed with wild delight,
That Moslem banneret should wave,
And with its silver crescent light
Hume the refuge of the brave
Was not the blood in wide streams shed
Enough 10 quench the vengeful ire
OF tyrants, who their minions led
To devastatc by sword and fire,
Alas the stripes on woman laid,
By worse than Alarc's command,
Increased the furious zeal displayed,
And nerved the blood stain d murderer's hand
No marvel, then, that they who fled
Should, like the deer in forest free
Be hunted by the wolves that sped
O'er the fair plains of Hungary;
Else turn apostates to the creed
Their mothers taught them at the knee,
OF Bethlehem's son, who, bowed with grief
For mankind died upon the tree!
The soul of Kossuth pierced with wo,
Yet chung TO life for kindred's sake,
Preferred the death bestowing blow,
And that his heart-strings first should break
Ere he would spurn the Saviour's sway
Or steadfast faith or hope remove
From Him who lights the Pilgrims way
And shelters meath His wings of love-
Can Christian nations calmly look,
And not one word of warning spare,
Protest against such terms nor brook
The turban and the cimeter?
The pan ply of Immanuel's foes,
The ruthless range of fire and sword,
Would i'll become the man of woes,
And prove an insult to the Lord
No rather let his voice be hush'd
His warm heart from his breast be torn:
We'd rather weep DER virtue crushed
Than for base apoetate mourn.
Let Kossuth die-his name would live,
Bright circled with celestial light,
And free as day its radiance give
To gild the Old Worlds moral night
