Gen. GorSey and his Wife.

The following singular tribute to the usual
right mindedness of women, occurs in the ac-
count of Gorgey's Surrender, extractedfr from the
forthcoming ..Kossuth dndhis Generals" in press
of PHISNEY, & Co:
Whether Gorgey saw the fate reserved for his
friends, whether he had any notion of the ter
rible consequences of his deed-who can say -?
But it appears that he alternately entertained
hope and apprehension, and that, in spite of his
iron mind, he sometimes shuddered at himself,
and then again imagined that his deed might
have blessed consequences for Hungary. As il
treachery could ever be justified by its results
When body after body of the Hungarians
troops, at Villages, drew up before the Russians,
and silently laid down their arms without any
surmise of the treachery, Gorgey noticed at his
side, young Remenyi, scarcely eighteen years
old. and virtuosos on the violin. This youth
had always been at the head quarters of Cor
gev, and often on the eve of battle, or on the
morn after the combat, had enlivened with his
sweet melodies the hearts of many an Office,
and. as a new David, dispelled the gloomy
thoughts of the Hungarian chief Gorgey nov
called him, and inquired what he was going Il
do. and whether he was provided with money
! Remenyi replied, with the carelessness of
youth, ''that with his violin he could fight hi
way through the world, but as to money he ha,
| none" Gorgey emptied his pocket, gave all hi
| gold to Remenyi, united some golden toys
| which were hanging on the chain of his watch
| and said ssTake this my hey, in remembranc
l of me .' As Remenyi noticed among thes

General Butler.

This gentleman-Tho has been repeatedly
charged with entertaining views favorable TO the
freesollers-has recently addressed letter TO
Francis p Blair, ia reply to one asking his opin-
ions on the great political questions of het day.
IN which he states in the most decided and ex
plIclt terms, his attachment to the Union and
his determination to adhere TO the Cornpromise
measures Of 1850, as final settlement of all the
sectional issues which have of late disturbed the
harmony of the country.
In this letter, Gen. Butler fully endorses the
resolutions Of the Democratic State Convention
OF Kentucky, by which he was recommended es
candidate for the Presidency. These resolu-
tlons are plain and comprehensive, avoiding none
Of the issues which have grown out of the le-
glslatlon of Congress, on the subject of slavery,
but distinctly affirming opposition to the Wilmot
proviso, the faithful maintenance Of the Com
promise, and reliance on the doctrines of the
Democratic party as explained by its past action
They were submitted to Gen. Butler and were
approved by him before they were offered TO the
consideration of the convention. These facts
show conclusively that the rumors SO long pre-
valent in the political circles of some portions of
the Union, connecting the name of this distin-
guished soldier and statesman with the anti-sls-
very party of the North, are not entitled to the
least credit-Daily Dayton Empire.

Mammoth steamer.

We see it stated in the London Times, that
proposition is foot TO build iron steamers Of
720 feet nlength, 90 feet beam, and 81 in depth,
with four engines of 1000 horsepower, snd a
screw, whilst there will be eight masts, withhuge
10 ttAAIa seils T'Ia nssaia ha hnilt of 7rsr.
and will be not only shot but fire PROOF, anu,
from the novel method, though simple, and for
strength known to every schoolboy, their i'm
mense length renders them more safe than those
of smaller construction. It's calculated to car
~ 1000 passengers, with theatre for smuse-
ments, &C., and could, in case of war, open a
battery Of 800 guns. This projected scheme is
for the purpose of bringing the English colonies
within months reach of London, but it is al
together too large an affair The only short
way of bringing England's colonies nearer TO
London, is to give them the best system Of gov
ernment possible for their interests

North Branch BIZ Passed.

The bill to authorize a loan of $500, 600, to
complete the North Branch canal, passed the
House Of Representatives Thursday last, and We
presume ere this has become a law. This will
be most gratifying news to the whole northern
section of our State, as it will open up region
rich in mineral resources, that has heretofore
been shut out from a market. The policy Of
completing this improvement at the earliest
practicable day, has long been manifest, and
whenever the Wings were before the people seek
ing their suffrages, they advocated this measure;
but most strange TO say, when this bill came up
it was opposed at every stage by the Wing leo
ders in the Legislature, and every effort was
made to defeat it. Through the active instru-
mentality, however, of its numerous Democratic
friends, and the effective appeal of Gov. Bigler
in its behalf, itwas carried triumphantly through
both branches of the Legislature -Rar. Union
BGPGov. BIGLER has vetoed the bill passed
by the Legislature incorporating the Charlestown
Silver Lead Mining Company. Spectators and
their mammoth and Mammon schemes seem 10
meet with no favor at the hands of the Execu-
tive The sentiments of the present veto mes
sage viii be cordially approved of by every good
citizen in the State, whether whig or Democrat
HySILvER CURRENCY-The bill engrossed
in the Z. S. Senate Monday last, from the
Committee on Finance, provides for new silver
coinage, in pieces of the denomination of half q
dollar and less to contain greater portion Of
alloy than the silver coins now in use. The
measure is viewed as one of Importance in order
to retain in the country currency which is 50
essential in all business transactions The BILL
If it shall pass the House of Representatives, is

Ba5- The Dublin Freeman's Journal, of the
! Doth of March. states that orders have actually

of the Irish Exles, subject to the condition that
they are not to return to any part of the British
Islands This is 80 important if true, but is ID

| ton among our Irish residents here.

.DEMoCRATIC SONG.

We transcribe the following stirring and pa
triotic song from an Eastern exchange. 1t
hreatbes the true spirit of poetry and the pure
Of Democracy. 1t is a gem which
will be admired by every reader. There are
thousands of hearts in this State which will res
pond to the sentiments of this song:
What means the proud triumphal scenes,
The shout and cannon's roar
The long huzzas that proudly swell
Along New England's shore?
The lofty hills take up the sound,
And from their granite heights
Are streaming wide, Ger land and tide,
Her countless beacon lights.
rTis but a dream Of that which rocks
The nation far and near
Glad sounds of joy and revelry
Fall ever on the ear.
starry banner meets the sky,
From every village dome;
While hearts are light and hearths are bright,
Within each happy home.
Are they who march at midnight hour
With torch and trump in hand,
Returning from the battle ield-
A brave, victorious band?
Are those the mighty shouts that rise
Above a fellow foe.
When tyrsnts yield the CORY field,
And freedom strikes the blow?
They're conquerors-yet no bloody stain
Rests on their glorious path;
THEY'VE conquered-but no deeds of wrong
Record a nations wrath.
With faithful hearts, and fearless souls,
a noble fight is wOns
A field on which long Years ago,
Scarce prouder deeds were done
They've scattered from the peaceful sky
! black and fearful cloud,
That darkly hung and seemed to wrap
Our country in a shroud.
We see the fair blue heavens again
We feel their breath once more,
And doubly bright the suns broad light
Illumes our native shore.
God bless the free onr coUntry's pride,
An iron-hearted band
No frmer on the wild-hill side
Their granite pillars stand.
With homes to guard, and hearths to cheer,
And many tie to cherish
They proudly go to meet the foe,
And conquer-or they perish
