AFFECTING SCENE ON HUNGAElIANS
LEAVING. TlgE MLS&LSSlpPL.

w stated yesterday, says the Baltimore
Sun, that all the Hungarian eXiles who ar
rived in the Mississippi, landed on Tues
day, and took rooms at The Irving House,
in New York, as the city's guests. The
parting Of the eyiles from the officers and
sailors OF the Mississippi, is said to have
been deeply affecting. The Evening Post
says:
The crew of tic Mississippi were mus.
tered OH deck, and briefly address by First
Lieut.. Chaplin, vino reminded them of the
pleasure they had all derived from the
presence oftheir guests during the voyage.
and announced tina, the time to part had
now arrived. Col. Berzenczy then reques-
ted his countrymen TO doff their hats, said
to the crew:
"My friends. we have taken down our
hats before you, and we thank you for
your kindness. and for your cordially
shown to us. We are now poor-poorer
far than you. W. were prisoners. but now
are liberated from prison. My friends. do
not forget us. You are happy men. for
YOU are citizens OF America. All Of you
are happy, much more than we are, be-
cause we have no fatherland. We have
lost all our fathers, our mothers. our broth.
ers, and our friends. We have no place
whittier to go; no spot in this wide world
which we can call home. But we have
found hospitality only here among you in
| America; and we feel consoled by your
kindness. It gives us a pleasure to find
hospitality in your country; and if we re.
turn to Hungary, we will say to all Hun.
garians that they should continue TO be
good patriots. and to treat worthy exiles
and unfortunates as you treated us. God
bless you; be our friends"
The response to this feeling address was
three cheers. given with a h%eartiness char.
acteristic of our gallant tars. The parting
with the officers was still more affecting.
With them the intercourse had been more
intimate, and the regret on separation was
more poignant. The stern soldiers who
had braved the perils OF battle, and endur.
ed the hardships Of exile with uuceasing
fortitude, embraced the officers of the frig.
ate in the Hungarian manner kissed their
cheeks, and wept. The sensibilities Of the
man who could witness such a scene un.
moved, must be blunted indeed. When
the exiles entered the carriage, the crew
gave another round of cheers.

L Mccormick for the sale OF his justly celebrated
Patent Virginia Reaper, is now in the southern ror-
ton of Iowa. and will visit the counties OF Lee,

sands would be strange ii he had not the best Ma
chine now in USE have with me testimonials OF the
greatvalue and extensive use of this machine to
the Western Farmers in saving their crops
Throughout Illinois where great EFFORTS nave been
made to introduce other machines, Mccormick, as
the writer fully believes, has sold and Is selling
fifty to one, over any other machine. An extern
sive system OF infringement and imposition upon
the public has been practiced in the West by the.
sale of his Reapers altered somewhat mot to i'm

menced against the parties and many are the over
lures for compromise offered by them, but reject
ed by Mr.. Mccormick upon the ground that right
stolen from him is not lit subject for compromises
and can only be remedied by a full restoration.-
Seymour & Morgan, of Brockport, New York, who
served three years under Mr.. Mccormick, and
learned what they know of him are the largest OPP
orators in the line of Infringement upon his Patent.
They are enjoined. And have the papers with me
to show how the whole matter stands, with copies
OF the Injunction which Twill leave at all the prom
inent points in the district named. When II Is I'M
derstood that all persons using Machine Illegally
made sod in violation of the rights of the Pat
entee, are equally liable as the manufacturer, or
seller and can be sued and made to pay damages TO
the Patentee, and can be prevented by Injunction
from using such machine, it will be perceived that
the system of operations above alluded to, is not
only fraud upon the Patentee, butts gross fraud
upon those to whom ma chimes thus made are sold.
Farmers wishing machines, by leaving their adj
dress at the post office at the county seat OF their
county, directed to me, will ensure call. Orders
can also be addressed to Chittenden II McGavlc,

vest would be well to forward orders early. The
Machines are warranted to perform well, or they
