protect with care the tender branches and roots
from the inclement cold, ard do it quickly ere
it be 90 late. A little straw or cedar branches
tied snugl y around the tender stem will ensure
its flowers when Summer comes asain-a few
days more of cold neglect and its beauty returns
no more.

FIRE NEAR HAvRE DE GRAcE.-The
Havre de Grace correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun SAYS:
The overseer's and gardeners house
on the farm of Mr. E. Lewis, near this
place, was destroyed by fire on Monday
last. Two small children of the garden
,r were left alone in the house. The
oldest child about 4 years old, was burn
ed to death. The hands employed on
the farm were absent at work some dis
lance from the house. They reached
the fire just in time to save the young
est child. 1t is supposed that the fire
originated from the clothes of the oldest
child taking fire.

any relative to the Hungarian revolu-
tion, and the character and conduct of
Kossuth, then and subsequently. Es-
terhazy was a prominent member of
the Hungarian cabinet, and, like CAST
mir Batthyany, warm advocate Of the
popular cause, against the domination
Of Austria. m ea
They do not appear to entertain a
high opinion Of Kossuth's abilities as a
statesman, or Of his firmness as a
patti, I; and they both concur m s at
ing, that republican system of Gov
ernmcnt would not be acceptable to the
people of Hungary. Indeed, when
kossuth had the power to dictate terms
to. the Emperor Of Austria, he said
nothing Of republicanism, but content-
cd himself with obtaining certain an
cient privileges, still recognizing the
House Of Hapsburg as the legitimate
sovereigns Of Hungary. His two coun-
trymen deny his right to assume the
title Of Governor Of Hungary, as he
voluntarily relinquished his authority
in favor Of Gorgey, and created him
Dictator contrary to law. History ac-
cords with their. statement; and hence
M. Kossuth has no authority to pledge
the Hungarian people to any course Of
conduct. He is in this country as a
private individual. and cannot bind
Hungary to the redemption Of any loan
which ne may effect. sia9 SIR.

VIRGINIA ENTERPRISE.

A petition has been presented to the
Legislature Of Virginia fort establish
ment Of line Of steamers between the
waters Of the James River and Europe.
And the people Of Norfolk are agitat-
ing the project Of rail road from that
place to Petersburg, with view to the
shortest and most speedy route to
Lynchburg. and the western part Of the
State, as we'll as Tennessee.
Ii is manifest that virginiais stretch.
ing her arms in all directions, North,
South, East and West, for the trade to
which her large territory and .popula.
ton, and extensive resources, entitle
her. The State itselfis liberal patron
ofall public enterprises, having already
invested about twelve millions Of dollars
in public works; and il is remarkable
that in the aggregate these works al
ready pay nearly. the interest on, the
entire Gust, with Of course a prospect
Of being largely profitable hereafter.
II to this return Of interest we add the
increased product to which the farmers
and manufacturers have been stimulat-
ed by the increased facilities Of getting
to market, the increased population and
the better means of sustaining that in
creasc,-these investments may be re.
garded as worth more than fifty mil.
lions to Virginia. We say nothing Of
the character Of the State, so immea-
surably elevated by its public spirit, for
that cannut be computed in dollars and
cents.
We rejoice in the. reflection that our
own State is not altogether inactive in
this struggle fur the trade Of the world,
and for the Development Of the capabi-
lities Of the great West. The renovation
Of the Raleigh and CASTOR Road, now
going on with great spirit, will wipe out
one reproach. The speedy construc-
ton of the Wilmington and Manches-
ter Road will add new laurel to the
brow of Wilmington. The opening of
of the Deep River navigation will bring
North Carolina Coal into successful
competition with the seven millions Of
tons of that necessary of life now an
nually sent to market BY Pennsylvania
alone. The various Plank Roads, al
ready finished CT in process Of construc.
ton, will furnish the true farmers high
ways, on which he can himself convey
his own produce to market. But all
these are eclipsed by the great work, by
far the mast gigantic ever undcrtak-
en- in this State, of the Central Rail
Road. We confess our surprise at
the rapidIty with which this work is
pressed forward. 1t exceeds all cal.
culations. And yet we might have
looked for such things from the well
known go-ahead character of him who
was SO fortunately induced to take
charge Of it. and in whose hands no
work, public or private, ever was suf..
fered TO lag or to fail. Nor will this,

terprlses. Fayetteville Observer.
