A LAND JOURNEY From BUFFALO TO
ERIE. A DRIVER FRozEN.--A party of II
started from Buffalo on Tues lay, for this city.
and Intermediate points. 1t was with extreme
difficulty that team and driver could be procured:
but at last, money, the all powerful, obtained the
needed conveyance. The passengers to this city
agreed to pay, each, ten dollars for the transport
tation OF themselves and baggage, the latter not
weighing more than ton all told.
They left Buffalo in the midst of snow storm,
and with fair warning Of hard time, from tn
weatherwise. No matter! this is the aye of tri-
umphlng over physical Obstacles; and the team
started out with load Of light hearts. The road
was found TO be filled with snow to the depth of
nearly two feet, and dotted with drifts here and
there, that threatened to swallow up coach, horses
and all. The wind was all the time blowing
tempest. The aspect OF things grew worse as the
craft crawled into the country, until at last, the
rate ofprogress was brought down TO two miles
an hour, with periodical upsetings, that threw
horses, baggage, and passengers into heap
from which, 1t required the utmost ingenuity and
perseverance to extrlcate them. For that service
and indeed for the preservation of the lives Of men
and beasts, in the almost nnumerable hazards of
the journey, the country is indebted to the exer-
tons Of seven sailors, stout fellows, who while
their less hardy companions were moaning over
their condition, went to work, without gloves,
and righted the horses sleigh and contents Our
informant says that the remainder of the passen-
gers are indebted TO them for their lives
The taverns all along the road 10 Erie, were
crowded with persons who had set out on similar
expeditions, but had concluded to wait the end of
the Storm There was not the slightest chance of
accommodation, and our heroes determined to
continue the journey. The road grew worse, the
wind blew colder, the snow fell thicker. Pleasant
sleepy sensations began to steal up ones legs and
arms. The ears and cheeks of almost all the
party had been already frost bitten, andhey took
the hint, jumped out, run behind the sleigh, cut
up all sorts of antics, and thus escaped death
One, however, did not follow this course, bat ex-

A most interesting interview took place at half
past two clock, between Kossuth and Mr.. CLAW,
the former being introduced by Mr.. Cass Mr..

expressing his opinions. He deprecated the poll

and said that the United States, as the only living
Republic, and example Of mans capabilities Of
seltgovernment, was bound TO encourage pro-
gress and prosperity on this continent These
might be endangered and destroyed by foreign
wars, and with them all hopes of free institutions

KossUTH's DIFFICULTIES ON BOARD THE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from Washington
STATE, that the question of the troubles between
Kossuth and Capt. Long, on board the Mississip-
pi, has been revived there. Communications in
regard to it are on hle in the Departments
Among other statements made, is one to the ef-
feet that Kossuth challenged Capt. Long, while
on the Mississippi, but afterwards Withdrew it.
The documents, it is said, will be called for by
Congress
In regard to this affair, the New York Times
says:
''The guest of the nation was treated through
out by Captain Long, with the greatest disrespect
and insolence. And this was carried TO such an
extent, that Kossuth felt it to be inconsistent with
self-respect, to remain on board, and would have
left, but for the manly and spirited interference of

The WRECK ON NANTAsKE EFT BEAcH.-It
will be remembered that one of the wrecks in the
vicinity of Nantasket Beach, on Sunday the 4th.
came ashore in fragments, which afforded no clue
to her name. We learn from Capt Tower, that
the register of the wreck, with her cables and an
chors, was discovered yesterday on the Graves.
The register was in tin case, which beat in
among the rocks. From this, it appears that the
wreck was the Alfred & Henry, of ST. John,
n B. She had on board some 200 tons of coal,
consigned to Ladd 6 Hall, ofBoston.
The vessel was insured in St. John, and the
cargo in Boston. Her crew consisted of eight
persons, all of whom have undoubtedly persisted.
She probably struck on the Graves, and went

The New Orleans papers of the Sd inst, have
been received. The Picayune has letters from
Rio Grande city to Dec. 10th, in which no mem
ton is made OF the rumor oftbe capture of Cara
vajal by Gen. Janreguy, but on the contrary they
give the particulars of his operations after his
battle with Gen. Jaureguy. 1t seems that he re-
treated to Guerrero, taking with him the NUM-
tion, baggage wagons, &c, captured from Gen.
Jaureguy, and on the approach of Gen Uraga,
he crossed the Rio Grande with force of 2IO
men, aud took the road to Corpus Christi, and
from that time nothing definite has been ascer-
tanned of bis movements.
The United States troops have been stationed
at all the crossings between Guerreo and Browns
vile to prevent armed men ttom crossing into
Mexico.
The battle fought on the 18th Dec between Gen.
CaraePs forces and those Of Jareguy, was Of most
desperate character. The Indian and Negro auxi-
IarieS of Jareguy suffered severely Nearly one-haf
OF them were killed in the engagement including the
chief Of the Seminoles On the Liberator side Lieut..
Grameran and McCurdy and many others were slain.

The DIFFICULTY ON BOARD THE Mississippi
The Tribune of Jan. 10. gives the following as the
substance of the correspondence between Commodore
Morgan and Capt, Long, in reference TO Kussuth.
Before the arrival of the Mississippi at Spezza, it
became known that il Kossuth's intention to
go direct to the United States and there remain but
to make only sholt visit for the purpose of solic-
ting their interference in the affairs of Hungary and
when informed that the policy of the United States
was non intervention, he said he would feel inclined
not TO go to the United States at all. He desired
not to 90 TO receive personal homage, but was
aiming only for the freedom of his country.
This avowal transmitted from SpeZzia in
heightened colors and reached Marseiles before or
simultaneously with Kossuth's arrival, and was
cause OF the obstruction he met there.
Alter he had gone on shore under the guarantee
OF the Consul that he wonld hold himself obedent to
the determination Of the French authorities in reIa-
ton TO passage through France, the excitement
arose in that city, Of which the public are already
apprised. Owing to the events which occurred the
Consul addressed note to Capt. Long, that he
feared the proceedings were compromising the flag
Of the country, which note Capt. Long showed to
Knssuh
Kossuth, looking uponths as an official act of the
Consul replied and took different view of the case,
assuming that demonstrations of such nature would
not be looked upon with any disiavor by the Amer
lean Government.
He then stated that being unwilling to be in a po-
sition Of disagreement with the American authorities
abroad that might involve them in any embarrass
ment, he would leave the ship at Gibraltar and pro-
coed to England, and thence by private conveyance
10 the United States, and leave it to the future to
decide on the justice of his views.

KIDNAPPING CASE, AMI SUPPOSED MURDER.
"A daring case of kidnapping was perperaed in
West Nottingham township, Chester Co., Pa. on
Tuesday of last week. The facts are as lolows:-
On Tuesday, Thomas McCreary, of EktOn, in COM
pany with an assistant, came TO Joseph c. Mier's
and took from his house a young colored girl named
Rachael Parker, who had been living with Mr. Mil
Ter, and who IS known to be free girl The kid
happers drove up TO the house in a wagon, when the
girl came to the door, and she was passing out,
McCreary, without pretending to show any authority
for the act took hold of her and forced her into the
vehicle She was then bound, and they drove of
at a rapid rate
The alarm given, aud pursuit made by the
ne9hbors. The iugtiyes we've stopped in their pro-
gfess by coming up 10 wagon in the road, which
they could not pass, McCreary jumped of his
vehicle, drew bowie knife, and swore he would cut
the driver asunder if he did not let him pass The
driver did not give up the road. McCreary then
turned about, took some other road, and rapidly pro-
ceeded into Maryland.
Miller, and some half dozen of his neighbors, fol-
lowed McCreary and the girl, on the next day, and
eventually found her in the city Of Baltimore where
charge Of kidnapping preferred against Nc
Creary by Mr.. Miller, and he was bound over for
hearing. On Thursday, the party from Chester
County, Mr.. Miller with them, started on their re-
turn home in the cars. McCreary was also in the
cars, coming homeward. AT Perryville, where they
left the cars, it found that Mr.. Miller was mis-
agne what had become of him. MIR. Miller not ar
irving AZ bone Friday his friends started after
him, and found him hanging to tree, dead-giving
grounds for strong suspicious that he had been MUIR
dered.
McCreary claimed that the slave was SCHOOLGIRLS.
He has been charged with being concerned in a num-
Der of cases of kidnapping in this county We learn
that requisition will be forwarded to the Governor
Of Maryland, by Gov. Johnston, demanding the sur.
render of McCreary, 10 have him brought to Penn
syvana, and tried for the offence with which he is
charged. requisiton for his arrest was sometime
since forwarded 10 Gov. Lowe, but he would not give
him up.
The cause of Mr.. MilIer's death is yet a mystery.
All the information confirms the belief that he has
been murdered. Mr.. Miller was very respectable
citizen, highly esteemed in his neghborhood, far
mer by occupation, and leaves behind him wife and
five or six children to mourn his loss. He recently
filled the post Of Assessor and Collector and other
public positions in his township.
Great excitement prevails in the neighborhood
The girl kidnapped was free beyond doubt. Mr..
McCreary had two assistants with him TO aid in car
rying off the girl McCreary will have hearing on
Wednesday.
Yesterday and to day number of persons left the
vicinity Of the deceased for Baltimore, to investigate
