TREATMENT oE F:REIGN IMMuG RAYTs-A
correspondent of the New York Times, writing
from HQlldaysburg, Pa, on the 10Th instant
gives the following account of the treatment OF
immigrants on their way to the West, which
calls loudly for redress:
Last night, about one hunderd of these poor
creatures arrived here, from Philadelphia, and
the snowdrifts stopped them, Of course. A
warehouse of the company--a bsrn-lke build
ing, through which the winds whistles almost
without impediment-was the only shelter
which could be provided them Within the
house q little rooni--perhaps ten by fifteen feet
lis par;itioned of, and provided with stove
where over ninety human beings, some Of those
females with nursing children, spent the night
after the fatigues Of $50 mics railroad travel
The size of the room allotted them, Of course
precluded the possibility of space sufficient
either TO siI or TO lie down. Add to this, they
were without food, and had been for twenty.
four hours, and you have knowledge of their
situation. In the morning their condition be.
came known TO some benevolent residents ia
the neighborhood, who furnished them with
food, and provided temporarily for their wants
At an early hour noticed one woman, with hei
babe nesting in her bosom to avoid the piercing
blast, wading through the deep sDow.drift, il
searcn Oh some nophaOle sneller, Wnere sus
tenance and relief might be procured for her
furnishing child. Several otherS, similarly stu.
aied, found relief in the dwellings of the sym.
pathizing villagers.
"Another party of immigrants, who arrived
here or Monday morning, were left ia the cars
where they still remain, for want of better
shelter. The error is in permitting these imm
grants TO come beyond Harrisburg when the
roads are known 10 be impossible in the noun.
tains. An honest, reliable agent, located al
Harrisburg, would be able to tender great ser
vice.
Sometimes, consequences Of this inhamanity
are more fatal than the party now here have ex.
perienced. You are aware that portion OF
this route is over stage road. IL is only n
fortnight since an entire famiy-a man, his
wife and two children-frozc to death on the
road, in one Of the shelterle-s wagons provided
for the poor immigrants. This Is one only oil
the heart reuding incidents Of immigrant travel
across the mountains in the winter seasons"

to the 18th, and from ths city of Mexico to the

II appears that the reports Of the defeat Of
Carvajal, published in the Brownsville Flag, and
received here day or two ago, were perfectly
correct. The official report Of Gen. Jauregui is
published, and shows that Carvajal's forces were
completely routed. He writes from CerraIvo
under date of December LIST. He relates that
after the raising Of the siege Of Matamoras, he
received Information that Carvajal was at Tore.

to prevent being surprised.
Then expecting to effect junction with Avalos.
Jauregui again advanced far Mer which
place he entered on the 2lst Of October, without
opposition Not meeting Avalos. he retired q
second time to CerraIvo. He wa. followed up
closely by Carvajal, both parties marching through

Of the temper of the people; the National Guard
was dissolved, aud he received assistance from
the inhabitants. The attack was very brisk, but
Jauregui says did not force them from their posi-
ton, till at last he found necessary TO concen.
trate all his forces point, in order to prolong
the combat. On the morning OF the lst inst. the

A detachment Of eighty cavalry sent ou

The HUNGARIAN REvoLr At RENspURc.-The
foreign papers, received by the Niagara, at Boston,
furnish the following additional particulars Of the
Hungarian revolt at Rensbury. extracted from a
letter dated, Hamburg, November 23d, appear
ing in the 'Ind-pendence Beige"
grave event has taken place amongst the
austrian corps d'drmes in Hostriu. Many Of tho
regiments composing it, consists i'm great part, Of
hungarians. and amongst them are many young
men of noble families. who compelled bv thu
Austrian Government to serve as simple soldiers.
In spite Of the disasters drawn down on unfortu-
nate Hungary by the revolution, these soldiers
cannot repress the hatred winch aniInatrs them,
or their desire Tor new revolution. The presence
in England of III" ex- Dictator, kossu h, and his
violent diatrbes against III. Austrian Government
and dynasty, have greately contributed TO excite
the sentiments of hatred with the Hungarian sol.
diers, aud al armed revolt, OF which the cOnse
quences would have been ncalc bic in the north
has oeeu the point Of breaking out among
them; but il has been prevented BY the active
surveillance Of the superior officers Of he Austrian
battailions. An agent Of kossulh, and of the
revolutionary propaganda OF London. the Hungt-
iian Count Potocki, who commanded gime nj
al Comorn during the revoiu,ion, arrested
the day before yesterday, by the military author-
ties Of Rensb-rg. He had arrived from London,
by way of Paris, under false name LII his
possession were found proclamations melting the

tor. 1t was generally stated in town, tina: many
officers tthe number is said to be nineteen,) and
great number Of commissioned officers aud
soldiers, have also been arrested at Rensburg for
having been accomplices in the projected revolt.
These arrests have been principally effected in
| the Schwarizealburg regiment, which is almost,
entirely composed Of Hungarians and winch is at
present in garrison at the fortress Of Rensburg
1t has been certained that the agent of kossuh,
aided by another Hungarian. (Rnschak.j and who
has also been arrested, has succeeded in organiz-
ing the revoli. In strateric point Of view, the
spot was well chosen. In possessing themselves
of the fortress the consprrators calculated that
they would receive th- support of d number of the
dismissed officers aud soldiers of The army of
fIolstein. A new insurrrcton in the two Duchirs
would have opened vast field to the revolutionary
exploits mediiated by the European propaganda

trio telegraph has been exclusively occupied in
transmitting to Vienna the dispatches of the Aus

HEAVY DAMAGES In the Of Daniel B

Common Pleas, the jury rendered verdict for
the plaintiff for $27,UUO. The st. Louis Iuteili-
gencrr says:
"The plaintiff master and owner Of the
steamboat Pride Of the West, and in March, 1885,
he was reported to the Board Of Underwriters, as
having left this port with his boat too heavily
laden and against the remonstrances OF the Agent
Of the Board. The Board Of Underwriters there
upon caused notice to be published in the st Louis
and New Orleans papers, notifying shippers that
no risk would b~ taken on rny boat Of which
Hunt was master, or OF which h- officer.
One Of these notices was signed by The defend
ant, AS President Of the Board Of Underwriters,
and the others were published with his appreciation.
The suit was brought for these publications. which
were charged to have been libellous, and to have
injured the plaintiff in his business and character"

TIE APPROACHING DOWNFALL OF AusrRik.-
Every arrival from Europe brings new indications
of the approaching DOWNFALL Of the Austrian Em-
pire. The London correspondent Of the New
York Commercial Advertiser, in his letter Of the
25th uIt, says:
cat Vienna, the Bourse remains in state OF
siege. Six gendarmes fully equipped are Posttd
every day at the entrance, and spies in plain
clothes throng the interior, and report the acts
aud observation Of The merchants and Dealers
The slightest operation Calculated to lower the
prices of the funds, TO produce more unlavora-
BILE rate of exchange with foreign countries I'nme-
diately exposes the party to the danger Of having
to attend before the military authorities, to prove
that he was merely executing AN order and had no
intention of specuIatiDg, aud any remark that
can be construed into an expression OF distrust is
calculated to bring down at once the penalty OF
Imprisonment OF expulsion. According to the sd-
vices received to-day, the correspondent Of the
daily news has had notice to quit the city within
four and twenty hours
"In Hungary il is said the passive resist auce OF
the people assumes every day more serious and
determined aspect, and the peril Of a rising in lta
" is also admitted even by the Virnnese Cabinet
to be greater than at any former period, Under
these circumstances, a reduction Of the army Is
| out of the question, and in the absence Of re-
ducton Of the army, the rapid ruin Of the govern
ment is inevitable. The doom, therefore, is work
ing, and all that the civilized nations Of the earth
have to do, is patiently to watch it's fall"

THE COMING EUROPEAN REVOLUTION Kossufh's s
merit Mouements.-A London letter states that
England is dull indeed, aud all Europe appears
perfectly quiet. Bot trouble is daily anticipa-
ted in France. and revolutionary movemeD MS are
threatened i'm other countries. The crowned
heads OF Europe appear TO be making active pre-
paratons for a long aud severe political storm.
Austria and Prussia are endeavoring to negotiate
large loans, whilst the Gar of Russia is urging the
completion of railways, and thousands Of carra-
ges for the conveyance Of his troops. Every
movement looks ominOus. The bloody scenes OF
AZ, it is believed, are about TO be re-enacted -
The London letter thus proceeds:
France. before, will commence the trage-
dy, Italy will follow. and the People Of the diff
ferent States comprising the Germanic Confeder-
alton are expected TO watch their oppnriunii v
1t Is known that conspiracy exists IN Russia
and the volcanic fire once kindled in France,
who predict when and where it will be-
qnenched! Happily, America cannot be disturb
ed by any Of these predicted events, although
her regular trade and commerce may suffer some
what. The Liberty Of the People will be the
universal waichword, and the anticipated strife
will undoubty be a terrible one; but il will
probably be the least great struggle Of the peo-
pie for independence. Every successive week
discloses the means and the men by which the
work will be carried on. The liberation of Kos
suth has hastened the day for commencing that
work. KOssuih is expected TO return to Eng
land in two three months from this date and
proceed to Belgium, from whence he will watch
the course Of events in Austria, Hungary, and
