DEATH OF GEORGE w. WEIssiNGER.-W
published on Thursday the announcement of
the death of George w. Weissinger, Of the
Louisville Journal.
We find the following particulars Of the cir
cumstances of his death at the close Of long
euIogium upon the deceased in the Louisville
Courier Of yesterday:
On Saturday morning last, Mr.. Weissin-
ger took the stage ut Frankfort for this city.
Between Shelbyville and Louisville he was
seized with a malignan: chill, which presen-
ted the most alarming symptoms. He was
conveyed to the residence of a relative in this
city, Immediately on his ARRIVAL, and medical
aid was promptly summoned to him. But
even at that early period of the attack, there
was but little hopes entertained of his recov-
cry. His unconsciousness was so great that
it was impossible to give him medicine. The
deep congestion continued en- Sunday, and at
two O'Clock another chill seized the sufferer.
| The brain and nervous system felt the brunt
of these seizures. and on Monday at two o.
clock, in spite of the unremitting vigilance OF
| the faithful nurses. and the skill ofthe medical
faculty Mr.. Weissingar breathed his last.
Mr.. Wessinger has left an interesting fam
lily, large circle of relations, and widely
extended acquaintance over the Union &c
mourn over his deplorable death With him
the fitful lever of life is over, and the grave
will soon receive all the remains of his mortal
form.

HGov. Collier, of Alabama, remarks in
his late message, that the experience in the
cotton factories of Alabama, has already de-
monstrated that the white operatives will
work as many hours and quite as dihgent as
at the North; and no employment at which
human hands canearn alivelihood, has proved
more healthfuI.

AN AMERICAN ABRoAD.-Punishme,at
of English Arrogance. = News has
reached Washington of a personal rem
counter which took place at Lima on the
10th of the last month, between Colonel
Zabdiel w. Potter, the newly appointed
Consul of the United States at Valparaiso,
and the Hon. Henry Stephen Sullivan,
nephew of Lord Palmerston, and her
Britannia Majesty's Charge d'Afaires
near the Government of Chill. A cor
respondent of the Baltimore American
gives the particulars of the affair, from
which it appears that the steamer on
which he was aboard stopped few days
at Lima to take in coal, and Col. Potter
proceeded with his family and took lodg-
ings at the French Hotel, and having
secured comfortable quarters, left Mrs.
Potter and her child to take stroll through
the city, The letter contains the follow
ing:
Col. Potter had not long left his lodg-
ings before the Hon. Henry Stephen
Sullivan with his family stopped at the
hotel and deliberately walked up to the
rooms which had been assigned to Col.
Potter and family, and took forcible
possession of them, and turned Mrs Potter
and her infant child out of DOORS Mrs.
Potter besought him with tears in her
eyes 20 await the return of her husband,
who would be only absent for few min-

EUROPEAN NoTIoNs OF THE u. STATES.
An Italian correspondent of the N Y.
Courier and Enquirer makes the following
just remarks i'll regard to American infu-
ence in Erope:-"We greatly overrate
both the amount and the value Of tile iu-
fluence of our institutions on the popular
mind of Europe. The great mass Of the
people on the continent are either totally
ignorant of our national existence, or have
the vaguest idea of our geographical posi-
ton, our history, our character and our
form of government. The Partisan mat
ron who inquired OH my mention Of Wash
ington, if he was that horrid English
physician who poisoned Napoleon!'-t
Athenian who congratulated me that..our
king was plenty rich, since he has got SO
much gold in California'--the Neapoitan
who was satisfied that America is the
finest kingdom in Europe and wished
me 10 take him there foot-and the
custodian, at Pompeii, who could expound
antiquities most admirably, but had never
even so much as heard of America
afford fair illustrations of the intelligence
generally possessed on the continent Of
Europe respecting our country. In truth,
how should it be otherwise! Nearly half
of the people are unable TO read, and a
large portion of the remainder are both
too poor to obtain books, and too un-
cultivated TO care for information. The
educated class entertain the most made
quate and perverted ideas concerning us.
They know indeed that we are Repub-
lie, but they have no proper conception
of either the theory or the practical opera
ton of our government: they understand
that We have liberty, but they are igno-
rant of the moral strength which contols
1t, and of the great constitutional and
legal barriers which hedge it in
