WAsHINGroN, Feb. 20, '52.
We have a teIegraphic dispatch
to-day from Mississippi, announcing
the election Of Nj. Brooke as Sena-
tor 10 supply the seat of Gov. Foote,
till March 4th, 1858, and OF Stephen
Adams TO supply the place Of Gen.
Davis. (now occupied temporarily
by Mr.. McRae,) till March 4ih,
1857. This is all that il viii be ne
cessary for the Legislature TO do. this
session, in regard to Senators, unless
they should deem it necessary to
elect Senator for the term commen-
cling March 4, 1853. Mr.. Brooke is
respectable lawyer, Of Jackson,
and said 10 be a man OF superior in
telIigence and high standing. He is
a decided Wing and thorough
going Union man, but has not been
much distinguished in public life
Mr.. Adams served for several years
! in the House of Representatives OF
Congress from Mississippi. He is
also lawyer, and a Union Demo-
crat. The controversy about Sena-
tors being thus disposed Of, on Union
principles, let US nope that the Mis-
sissippi Legislature will discharge all
their other duties to the State aud
the Union on similar constitutional
principles.
Mr.. Brooke is one OF the most un-
compromising unionisls in Mississip-
pi, both in priaciple and practice,
having fought duel "on the other
side Of the river" last summer, grow
ing out of the controversy in Missis-
sippi about the Union. He received
slight wound, which did not, how
ever, disable him from carrying on
the political contest. In the election
of Senator in the Legislature, Nc
Rea, the present member OF the
Senate, was the candidate OF the
SeceSsioIiSls, and received 43 votes
out OF about I24. ! learn, that Mr.
Adams had a majority OF two over
all others, there beingseveral candi-
dates. Bot we shall nave the exact
result in a few days. The duel in
which Mr.. Brooke was engaged, re-
lated TO the contest for members ol
the convention, attempted 10 be
chosen, to consult on measures OF
secession. But the secessionists were
routed, horse, foot and Dragons, 10
such an extent, that they gave up
the contest, and Gen. Quitman driv.
en- from the field, after having fought
bravelY through the Mexican war.
Can there be a more decisive evil
dence, that Mississippi is a Union
State.
Both houses OF Congress, to-day,
have been engaged on private bills,
and there has nothing occurred ol
general interest.
The KoSsuth mania has nearly
subsideG here. The vote in the Sen.
ate, to print his letter of thanks was
so close "a 10 23) as TO deprive it ol
much effect. He claims not only 10
have been once Governor OF Hunga-
Iry, but TO be in a position to become
Of right the future Governor, should
Hungary ever become Independent.
But his title is disputed By at least
two of the members of his Cabinet
when Governor. Szcemere, his
Prime Minister, and NJ. Batihyanyi,
another Of his ministers, under their
own signatures, assert publicly that
he has no claim to the title of Cover
nor. They assert, that when Gov
ernor, as soon as danger approached,
he abandoned the cause, and not
only resigned his commission as
Governor, but transferred his power
TO Georgy, while knowing that
Georgy was a traitor to the cause.
They also assert, that when there
were 1850 Hungarians in the field
and capable of resisting the Austri-
ans and Russians, he transferred lis
power TO a known traitor and fled
across the frontier TO Turkey.
NJ. Szcemere saws that although
Kossuth has been the plecder for
Hungary, he was never the hero OF
the cause. And vet, in this country,
he claims TO be Governor still, and
to have been the hero OF the war,
and will not tolerate any compeer
in the glorious contest for liberty.

controverted. Vice Ia Bagatelle.
There has been much speculation
here in regard to the supposed de-
signs Of Louis Napoleon on England.
| have heard some members of Con-
gress express the opinion that he
would speedily invade the British
Isles. Some editors have also enter.

viewed his cource very attentively
since the ID OF December, and have
never detected the least authentic
evidence OF such intention. There
