MAP OF HUNGARY.

We are indebted to our very ingenious
young friend, Dr.. R. B. McCay of Nor.
thumberland, for a Map of Hungary, en-
graved on wood expressly for tho Danville
Democrat and Sunbury American. AS an
engraving it is highly creditable to the in.
genuity and artistical skill of Mr.. McCay,
an amateur artist, and would have done no
discredit to the best engravers of the city.

" A Cargo of English Rail Road iron
was received at Baltimore few days since,
the actual cost and freight of which, did
not exceed S35 per ton. Such prices are
not only calculated to ruin our iron manu-
facturers, but actually infict an injury on
the public, as the iron is of such an inferior
quality that it is much less durable, and ex-
ceedingly dangerous by its liability to
break, fact acknowled and deplored by
some ofthe English Iron masters themselves.

OLD TIMEs-Umbrellas were introduced
by British officers into this country about the
time of:he revolutionary war. Parasols were
then unknown. As defence from rain, men
then wore ''rain coats" and women ''cam-
blets" Gloves were introduced about the
year 1856. There were very few carpets be-
fore the revolution on the floors when first
introduced, they covered the floor outside Of
the chairs around the rooms. -H|

FoRREsr IN New ScENE-A very dis.
graceful scene occurred few days since at
Forests Castle, on the Hudson, ii we are to
believe the current reports. 1t appears that
two gentlemen who had been out cunning,
induced by curiosity, entered Mr.. F.'s
grounds on their way home, and encountered
that gentleman at a well, where he was en-.
gagged, with tin dipper, shaking his thirst.
He roughly ordered the gentlemen TO leave
the grounds, i, is said and threatened, if they
were not quick about it, to ''whip them off,"
One of them, however, not fancying the tone
and manner of his address, handed his gun
to the other, when Forrest struck him on the
ide OF the neck with the dipper, and received
in exchange tremendous blow between the
eyes; when both fell and scrambling fight
took place on the ground. On rising, Mr.. z.
backed out, and summoned his retainers to
carry out his threat to eject the party from
the grounds, but I, warlike demonstration on
their part kept them at bay, and Forrest con.
sidering that
"He that fights and runs away
May live to fight another day."
incontinen,ly fled to his castle, followed by
his retainers, and shut himself up within its
walls, The gentlemen then gIatided their
curiosity by viewing the grounds and the ex-
terror Of the edifce, and proceeded on their
way homewards. Y. Mirror.

The Women OF HunGARr .---C Countess Csaky.
Patriotism and true love OF country, are the
great characteristics of the noble matrons of
Hungary. Ladies of the highest rank, as
we'll as those OF the humblest origin, all min.
gled together in maternal bond OF alliance,
stand forth as the encourages Of the martyrs
Of The Republic. The young Countess Csak y
has been foremost in the bloody struggle
she raised regiment of volunteers a, her
own expense, and is actually in command Of
It. The adjuiant is also lady of rank. and
is her sister. They dress in the uniform of
otiicers-Hungarian jacket, blue pantaloons,
and large sword by their side. Watch.
fires surround their tent, and sentinels keep
guard throughout the night. Before the
Countess retires to rest, she writes dispatches
10 all her officers, giving them orders, and if
any spy brings report of an advance of the
enemy, she is at once at the head of her di.
vision. With the most wonderful talent she
lays the plans for the surprise of her enemy.
To the discontinue Of the foe, her commands
are carried out confidently and strictly. The
animated patriotism of this noble woman in.
spires such enthusiasm amongst the soldiers.
that each one becomes hero in his coura.
geous desire to out-do in deeds of daring, his
compatriot. The skill in maneuvring dis.
played by these admirable women is wonder
ful, and in many instances the enemy have
surrendered to them without blow. Not
the less efficient are many other ladies' who
are not quite so famous in arms; every
where the angelic presence of the women is
visible, saving the soldiers from the jaws of
death.-European American.

POSTAGE REFORM.

An association at Boston, has issued clr-
culars in relation to a reform in the rates
of postage, that may, and no doubt will
very we'll suit the publishers in the Attain
tic cities, but they must have a very shall
low idea of the country, if they suppose
the Press in the interior, will approve Of
such measures. The country press will
contend, and will not be satisfied with any
law, that does not allow free circulation
of papers within the limit Of thirty miles
or more from the place Of publication
Our own views in relation to this matter,
are we'll expressed in an able article
from the Philadelphia Sun. Colonel Wal
lace, has himself, been connected with the
country press, and with degree of can
dor and liberality, that does him credit, he
does not hesitate TO do it justice.
~ The HUNGARIAN NEws.-The Lon
don Times gives the following summary oi
the Hungarian news. The state Of the case
is this. The Hungarians, under various
generals, occupy the line of the Thesis, and
still maintain their position at Szegeden
which the Imperialsts have not yet taken
Georgey is supposed to be somewhere about
Tokay; one statement places him at Meme
thi-Szathmar, which satisfies us that NO
authentic account exists of his precise po-
sition. The same uncertainty prevails re-
specting Bem, in Transylvania, of whose
operations absolutely nothing certain is
known. The general impression made
from the desultory, contradictory, very
crude statements which come from Vienna,
is that the Hungarians are concentrating
their forces along the Thesis, with such a
disposition as to check the advance of the
enemy, avoiding pitched battle, SO as to
weary out the allies, who find it necessary
to bring into the field all their spare re-
serve. In this way it is very possible that
the Hungarians may protract the war till
winter sets in, when their enemies must
put an end to the campaign. Up to this
period the Hungarians maintain their posi-
tons far better than could have been anti
cipated.
