cordingly consented to remain silent In his
interview with the Secretary of the Interior

ject The Secretary replied that his depart
ment wns devoted exclusively to home affairs
and that all matters respecting foreign affairs
came through the Secretary OF State.
Kossuth then replied that the opposition at
the hands Of Cnngress and the Executive con-
vinced him that his mission had completely
failed. He felt deeply disappointed with the
reception he had met Washington. Il was
wholly unexpected. He inquired in case

U. s., il he could get tract Of land. Mr..
Stuart, the Secretary, remarked that Congress
had the disposition Of public lands, thai be

Kossuth corrected the Secretary, and ex-
planned that they did not want the land as a
gift-they would pay for it-but only desired
that it should be selected that the Hunpasi-
ans could live together as a separate commu-
nifty.

MIR Clay,s Health Declining.

The Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia United States Gazette, of the 29th
December, speakingof Mr. CIay's health says !:
During the last few days Mr. Clay has
seusibly declined in strength and in confidence
Of his remaining physical resources. The
cough which has so long irritated, now CRATES
terribly upon his constitution, and skaters
MS energies with every return. Painful as the
intelligence will be to the whole country, and
to the friends of liberal opinions throughout
the civilized world, yet it may not be concealed
that the sands Of this great mans life are fast
declining in the glass Of time and may almost
be numbered, so few are there remaining
Inexorable fate sits By his side, and watches
with remorseless activity the feeble pulsations
of fading existence, counting each. as it comes
and goes, and scrutinizing with keen psnetra-
ton the hours that are yet granted. There
is a Christian calmness and composure in all
the feelings of MIR. Clay which at once
touches and saddens; for the calmness of that
beautiful resignation which admonishes that
he is soon to see the "last of earth," and the
composure of one who. after having bu6etted
and been tossed by the storms of political life
forty years. is now ready to relnquish his mis-
sion, assured that in all things he has faithfully
discharged his duty to the country, to truth,
and to mankind"

The MOTHER AND SISTERS OF KossuTH-
A letter from Pesth, Hungary, of the lst De-
cember, states that the house occupied by the
mother and sisters of Kossuth, opposite the
Karoly Palace, was surrounded in the night
and perqusitions were made in their apart
ments. Kossuth's sisters, Mesdames Rutthay
and MesseIlengi, and the tutor Of the latter's
children, were afterwards removed to another
part of the building. The mother of Kossuth
obtained permission to remain in her apart
ment, but she was placed under the surveil-
lance of the police. The tutor was subse-
quent!y put in irons.

The Sth Of January Ball,

The largest party that ever assembled in
Fremont, on an occasion of this kind, was at
Social Hall on Thursday evening last. Some
seventy or eighty couple were present, and
passed very agreeable and pleasant evening.
The ladies put on their best looks, the gentle
men conducted themselves very proper, and
the music was passibls. Kestler prepared a
supper that must have satisfied the most fasti-
dious. A bear was served up in the best pos
sible style; venison, turkeys, chickens, and 9TH
er quadr'peds and 6ipeds were in great pro-
fusion ;and the other necessary ct cetnra were
furnished in great abundance. Kestler de-
serves the praise of doing the thing up as near
right, as it can be done in this part of the
country.

named Bradley going desperately mad because
Mr. Harris had 'cut him OUT of The Affections
of Miss Trainor will be remembered Bradley
tried to kill Harris and is now in prison. The
Wilmington (DeL) Republican says that Harris
married young woman in that vicinity, about
year ago, and intimates that he is swindIer.
The news however, comes too late as Harris is
already married to Miss Trinor, and the poor
girl has almost literally thrown herself out of
the frying pan into the fire.

As the Magyars generally belong to the
Church which has adopted the Hslvetic con-
fession. it is probable that Kossuth is of that
party and hence the bitter denunciation of
him by the archbishop. [Pres. Herald.

The Coptlagratien Of the Library.

By the proceedings in the House yestcr-
day, it will be seen that an interesting COM
munication was received from the Librarian
of Congress, in relation to the late destructive
confagration. Most of The Law library, en-
bracing about 10000 volumes. which we're de-
posted in room adjoining the main saloon
portion of Mr. Jefferson's library, were saved
in 1915, at an expense of $4,000, as the ba-
sis of the library. The number of volumes
consumed. is supposed to be about $4,000.
An appropriation of $4,000 has also been
made, on the part of the House. to dsfray the
expenses of extinguishing the fire, construct
ing temporary roof &c. A committee of
investigation as to the origin of the fire. was
also appointed. There was not a quorum
present in the Senate, and the subject was
consequently not acted upon.
Our reporter was informed last evening, on
reliable authority, that the fire was supposed
to have originated in the upper part of the
main saloon, in the ceiling. On the previous
night chimney in one of the committee rooms
was on fire. 1t is supposed that timber rar
through into the fue. Yesterday forenoon
boy was sent down the chimney, and sue
ceeded in thrusting his arm into the hole
where the timber had rested.
The main saloon, which has been entirely
burnt out wes abou: 80 feet long, "a in width
and SO in height. Alcoves, in which book
and cases were deposited, extended all thu
way around it, over which there were CALLER
les. 1t was lighted from sbove by y-lights
and on the western side by long arched win
dows, looking out upon the beautiful porticC
which has been sadly disigured.

The HarbOr and River Bill.

In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Miller, of Ne y

that passed the House of Representatives at,
the last session of the last Congress, and moved
its reference to the Committee of Commerce
We are glad to see the honorable Senator mo-
wing in this matter at so early period Of the
session; and we hope that the bill NAV receive
prompt discussion and action There is no
doubt that very large majority of the Amer
ican people are in favor of the passage of such
a bill, and it will be interesting to them to
learn at an early day, what course will be pur-
sued by prominent men of all parties in regard
to it We know some of them will go at all E.
vents for the Improvement of BLACK River"
but we are curious to know ifthey are prepar-
ed to support other improvements that rest on
the same principles. Let the bill receive full
discussion, and let fair vote be had upon it,
without dodging or equiVocation, or conscieE-
tious scruples about Sunday hours, or any noise
and confusion in the premises. Then we shall
be able to learn who is who in this matter
who sustains the policy of President Fillmore,
and who opposed to it.
If Mr. Miller will only keep bis eye on this
bill an press immediate action. he will confer
a great benefit on the country though we fear
that he will embarrsss one OF two of our north
western friends, in view of their southern rela-
tons. We know that Mr.. Miller is humane
man, and reluctant to witness such scene of
personal distress as this Harbor and River bill
has sometimes caused in the Senate; but pri-
vatS feeling must yield to public duty. Let
us get at the votes. Wash Rep.
