THE PREsIDENoY.-A Washington
correspondent Of the Baltimore Pat
riot, speaking of the candidate for
President, says:
The fact is. that nobody can pre-
dict with any certainty who will be
the candidate on either side. There
are as many different opinions as
there are aspirants. Judging from
all can see and hear, General Scott
will be the Wing candidate; but
am free TO say that many Of my in
telligent friends think otherwise,
anous verrons," as Father Ritchie
used TO say. In plain .English-,oe
sA1H see i1lIat zoe shall see.

ceedings Of the 18th and 2Ist, omit

In the Senate on the both the
Washington and Morgan contested
case was disposed Of BY admitting
Mr.. Covey to seat by a vote Of 80
TO 2.
The House took up the report OF
the select committee, recommending
the General Government to construct
a ship canal at the Sault ST. Marie.
and Railroad from Lake Superior
to Green Bay, by appropriating
money or donating land.
The report was debated at length.
A motion to strike out the Railroad
part was lost.
An amendment adding, "if not
inconsistent with the Constitution, }"
was offered and debated, pending
which the House adjourned.
The Journal says OF Thursdays
and fridays proceedings:
Yesterday was a busy day, not
that great show was made, but that
the time was well put in. In the
House, there was some discussion on
the proprie;y OF dispensing with the
publication Of large extra numbers
Of documents, and having them, or
the substance of them, published in
the county papers over the State
Some movements were made with
the object Of ascertaining The cost oI
such publication. This idea, in con-
nection with the postage difficulty,
may make an important change in
our system of public printing. In
the afternoon, The House went into
committee of the whole on the bill
prescribing the manner Of applying
for pardons; also the bill fixing the
fees Of witnesses in civil and crimi-
nal cases. These were passed through
the committee and severally refer
red.
In the Senate, Mr.. Atkinson in
troduced a tax bill. 1t is about as
voluminous as the House bill, and
was ordered to be printed without
reading. We understood it was

a number o. vacancies by the resig-
nation Of the ones lately elected.
No other business Of importance
done.
Yesterday the Senate had under

PARIS, Dec. 25, 1851.
You will not overlook the editorial
articles OF the London press concer-
ming the reception OF Kossuth at
New York. Tha, OF the Morning
Chronicle Of the 23d instant particu-
larly engaged my attention. AL
the writers have the notion that the
Hungarian chief was to be used for
eleclioneering purposes. Several Of
our Paris editors have so treated
the same subject. They notice Kos
suth's scolding and pouting in refer
ence to what passed at Washington
in the Senate, and suppose him to
have meant, "You shall not have the
opportunity oil making political capt.
tai out OF me If you do not fulfill
my expectations and aims" They
think that the slaveholding gentle
men do we'll to beware of worship
ping a missionary Of the school to-
which he belongs. They anticipated
a stupendous manifestation on his
arrival, and one Of them q Demo-
craO said, after quoting the London
statement scarcely credibIe) Of the
appearance Of the American Consul
at Southampton on the coach box Of
the vehicle in which Kossuth and
Lord Dudley Stuart entered the
town, "Now, we may hear that the
President OF the Union and his
Ministers embarrassed the horses OF
the Hungarian chief and put them
selves in the place OF the animals"
Hungarian independence is deemed
here as improbable as the resurrec-
ton Of Poland. The Emperor Of
Russia has five armies of fifty thou
sand men, each held ready near his
frontiers TO act on Central Europe.
Louis Napoleon's coup d'etat has
precluded that general continental
insurreclion in 1852 upon which
Kossuth seems 10 have counted.-
Without France there cannot be the
least chance for a Democratic strug-
gle, or any solidarity" OF the ma
tions. The British Government
knows that If monarchy should be
prostrated on the continent the
throne Of Victoria would stand but
very few years. Thus, If even Lord
Palmerslon had continued where he
was, no real aid could be hoped for
from that quarter. Louis Napoleon
is likely TO prove a surer ally Of the
Royalties than would be any Bour-
bon.

KossUTH AND CAPT. LoNG.-An
Eastern despatch says:
The Kossuth and Long correspon.
dence has been published to-day,
both in New York and here. II
completely exonerates Gov. Kossuth
from all blame, and shows the oppo.
sition he met from the first, not to
say the tyranny Of Capt. Long, and
the terrible fright and unmanly in
discretions into which the demonstra-
tions at Marseilles in honor OF Kos
suth threw Mr.. Consul Hodge.
Capt Long himself is forced TO en-
dorse the correctness Of Kossuth's
every act, and while petty annoy
ances drove Kossuth from the Mis-
sissippi, the letters show it was with
deep regret to all on board excepting
two or three individuals.

Chn.. b. shaw,s Report.

ESTIMATED CosT OF THE CENTRAL
RAILRoAD.-We are indebted TO
some friends in Richmond city for a
copy of Chas. B. Shaw's Report upon
the cost Of a Railroad from Coving-
ton to Point Pleasant. There has
been survey recently Of that section
OF the road from Staunton 10 Coving-
ton, and twenty miles Of it put un.
der contract. The distance is some
thing less than 70 miles, and the
whole cost of the road from Staun-
ton 10 Covington will be less than
100000. Mr.. Shaw makes the
distance from Covington TO Point
Pleasant 22Ss miles, and estimates
the cost, including superstructure Of
wood and iron, stations and eqnip
ments, at $4,000, ,902, or S2I .456
per mile. This is the cost of the
Greenbrier, New River and Kama
wha River route. The estimated
cost of a road from Covington to
Big Sandy at is mouth. 337 miles, is
5,042,O54, or S2l,2 per mile.
In the distance from White Sui
phur Spring to Point Pleasant. 1881
miles there will be 52a miles OF
level grade, no grade exceeding %
feet per mile; and none for 100
miles, from Point Pleasant Eastward,
exceeding 10 feet per mile. Else
where on the road, no grade exists,
in opposition to the heavy trade,
exceeding 40 feet per mile, except at

The Washington Correspondent of
the New York "Express," under the
date of Jan. g, has the following:
"All the Kossuth demonstration here
among the public men is utterly hoart-
less. There is nothing serious in it
from beginning to end. The PRESIDENT
is about the only man who has publicly
told Kossuth the plain truth, face TO face.
The politicians are planting for foreign
votes in some quarters, and for general
humbug in others. Kossuth, however,
takes the most of IL in solemn earnest.
The Abolitionists and Free Soilers ride
the principle to make capital out of ii;
and others, supposing they will get the
foreign German vote. Kossuih might
stay here ten years, studying hard, and
he could hardly begin TO comprehend
the politics and the political men that
figure here and intrigue here"
The correspondent of the Journal OF
Commerce says, the first step to be taken
by the United States, in rendering ma
terial aid, is for some VI. c. $50 big with
the love of liberty for all mankind that
he is ready to burst" to introduce some
thing to this effect:
"Resolred, That millions oe
dollars be raised by loan, in order to
raise, feed and equip an army Of
thousand men, and 70 buy or build
hundred vessels to transport
such army TO the coasts of Russia, in
order to prevent its Emperor by force of
arms from interfering in the coming
contest between Austria and Hungary,
he having disregarded our polite request
made to him to that effect"
And adds
"Now remember that Bonaperte en-
tered Russia with an army Of three
hundred thousand men, Of which hardly
a remnant was left to tell the story Of its
destruction, and that will furnish you
with the means of filling up the blanks
in the above resolution. II sitting down
TO ill up these blanks will not bring
every man who is KoSsuth-mad to his
senses, then he is ineurabIe."
