"PECULIAR FACTS" COMING OUT

4 Challenge from Kossuth to Captain Long-1He Same
Withdrapn and an .4polQgy Made.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 1852. All the crcumstan-
ces connected with the alleged difficulties on board
the United States steam frgate Mississippi, ate. she
started with Kossuth and companions for mis- coun-
try, reported under the authority altache to
papers, gospel truths, and record in the
Navy Department, and will be furnished when called
for officially by Congress- The thing far
that Kossuth challenged Captain Long, but subse-
quenty withdrew the challenge and apologsed. This
apology sealed Capt. Longs lips-for, among men
Of honor. retrac,ion and apology close the lips of
both parties. Still the facts occurred, although sup
pressed for the time. twas series of petty insults
and vexations continued from day to day.
1--WE give the above, remarking that a0e have con-
fdence in its authority 1t only goes to prove what
said in effect, at the time OF these alleged diff
cultes that it was nonsense to expect perfection from
Kossuth, any more than from any other man-he be-
ing human like all the of US, and, therefore. liable
to similar feelings, misaPPrehensions &c. But the
nobleness of the true the honest and the brave
comes out in the subsequent ample edgment
and apology when once seeing his own and the
wrong done friend. Let others initiate the exam

joint Resolution, invited kossuth visit the capitals
Of those States their guest. He has also been in

and the Senate of Rhode Island have passed Reso-

A DARK PLACE. We find the following paragraph
drifting about:
AT Chapel Hill. IN. CO. according to the Amer
lean Almanac, there were but thirty clear days
from June 1850, to May 1851, the rest (S26) being
recorded g cloudy" There is probably no other
locality in the Union, or in Europe. where there are
so many cloudy days. There were 1914 clear days,
according to the work, al Green Lake, Wiscon-
sin, in 1850. At Cincinnati, in 1850, they had 143
clear days, III Variable 81 cloudy, which is below
the usual number of clear days.
We had no idea that Chapel Hill was such cloudy
place, and would never have believed it had we not
seen it in print Only forty. save one, clear days in
the course of eleven months-a dark region truly.
We don't wonder that the students toned to
use in greater less proportions, such artificial slim
ulants as deemed essential by persons for
the dissipation of those dsagreeable visitors yclep
Blue Devils. Such cut throat weather impeiously
suggests anti-fogmatics and other remedial agents.
And we are bold enough to assert that it very
probable under the influence Of these counteracting
elements that the above cloudy paragraph first
the light. 1t has the flavor of that Java Coffee which
was raised in Caswell county-out of convenient
barrel, and is doubtless the sport of indolent
youngster the Hill who saw" thro glass darky.'
