Rage of the Austrians against England
and America.

A letter dated Vienna, Sept. 80, referring
to the release of Kossuth, and his embarka-
tion for the United States, says:
"The Austrans in Vienna are very bitter
against the English and Americans for this
cScapadc. AS one demonstration of petty
malice on that account, Gorakowski, the Mil
itary Governor, notified all foreign consuls,
on the 9th, that under decree Of the 20th
he was resolved to execute all the laws per-
tanning to state of siege; and that all trav-
elers and visiters. who didn't conform in Gus
toms, conversation and conduct to the iequi-
sitions, however odious, would, without ex-
ception; be put in arrest. The decree is evi-

numbers of whom wear the forbidden red re
publican slouched hat-white or brown-the
California hat of the United States. Is there
Ia government in Christendom, except Aus
tria, that would be guilty of such nonsense
as the late execution at Pesth, and the late de-
cree at Venice %

Riot in Smith County Texas---Three
Men Killed and Five Wounded.


We copy the following from the Tyler
(Smith county, Texas,) Telegraph, of the
9th ofSeptember;
"We stop the press to announce one Of the
most painful tragedies that has ever fallen 10
our lot to record. On this morning, John N.
Mckinley, sheriff of this county, arrested at
Canton, M. Joseph Pierce, with warrant,
charged with offence of assault with the in.
tent to commit murder After Pierce was
arrested, man by the name Of Isaac Moore
threatened TO raise crowd Of Pierce's friends
and rescue him from the custody Of the sher-
iff.
The Sheriff; in the interim, summoned
guard to prevent the rescue of the prisoner
About two O'Clock, p. M, Moore and Robert
Pierce, and man by the name of Crawford,
made the attempt to rescue the prisoner. The
parties were all armed, and after about twen-
tyshots, and many thrusts with bowie knives;
hand axes. &c., the Sheriff's party were left
victorS in possession of the prisoner, who is
now lodged in jail
Robert Pierce, after receiving several shots,
fell and expired. Isaac Moore was also shot
dead. Crawford escaped. supposed TO be Sc
verely wounded
0fthe Sheriff's party, David Neil was Kill
led, James Holden mortally wounded, Z. w.
Patterson mortally wounded, Thomas Brock
slightly wounded, Sheriff Mckinley severely
wounded, not considered mortal.
Thus has terminated one Of the most fatal
and melancholy riots that has ever happened
in our country. And strange to say, not
withstanding the deadly execution done, none
know who done the mischief, except the
wound received by the sheriff, which was Civ
en- by the prisoner, John Pierce"

"Neighbor Cleveland himself cares not
farthing. He was defeated, according to
the Life Boat, by an honest endeavor TO pre-
vent men from voting for him under false
impression sas to his sentiments. He never
gave a pledge to the Temperance men nor
to the "Corn growers" and because he said
90 "in his paper" The temperance organ
says, he was dropped for a person who, it
was reported, had given both of those fac
tions pledges to favor them. To make a
long story short, the temperance men would
rather vote for one pledged against them
than for one who had made no pledges at
all. The remarks Of the Life Boat can lead
mo other conclusion. Had Capt, C. per-
miteu the ialse report TO 60 uncoTecled--
had he been dishonest enough 10 allow men
to vote for him in the belief that he was
what he was not, then, according TO the Life
Boat, all would have been right. As he
acted with the strictest regard to his honor,
he was defeated-and he would rather be
defeated a thousand times from such a cause
than to be elected once through deception.
