This unsurpassed hotel, located in Pittsburgh
which for series of years has been so success
fully and sumptuously provided for by D. Il
Miller, Esq, is now under the management o.
WM. S. CAMPBELL, Esq, late Superintendent OF
the Portage Railroad. In charge of such man
the patronage of the st. Charles cannot but
largely increase, and we hesitate not to state
that the entire attendance and arrangements OF
the house will be such, to make it the most
pleasant and desirable hotel in the Smoky Ci-
ty." Mr.. Campbell is gentleman aptly quail
fed for the laborious duties of the undertaking,
and if assiduous exertions on his part to please
and crafty his guests, give him unbounded sue
cess, he is sure to receive it. He leaves hosts
of friends in Cambria, who, in parting with one
whom they have so long known, but to esteem,
express the hope that he may reap rich rewards
from his splendid hotel, and who viii ever be re-
ioiced to learn that he is enjoying health, hap
piness and prosperity.

Kossuth in 1rassachusetts.

SPRINGFIELD, April 24-This morning, at a
quarter to 10 o'clock, Kossuth addressed a large
audience in the Rev; DR.. Osgoods church Kos
suth delivered long speech from the pulpit.
He commenced by saying that the place was APP
propriate, inasmuch his cause was areigious
one. He praised the States of New England
above the other States of the country. He
taunted the American people on their Govern
ment being swayed by foreign influence and
not being power on earth. He adverted to
the opposition he received in this country. and
said he understood it. very well After the
speech in the church, he proceeded to the ar
mory, escorted by the Horse Guards and the
Select Men. At one o'clock he leaves for North
ampton.
NoRTHAMPToN, April 24-Kossuth left SPRING
field by the special train, and arrived here at 3.
He addressed large audience in the old North
ampton Church, but his speech was a very poor
one, much Of 1t being the same as the one de-
hvered at Springfield. A portion of it was also
IN bad taste, and gave offence to many citizens
He said that the American people possessed all
the elements of greatness but that Hey did not
act as a great nation. He came out virtually a.

was by Hungarian bonds. for which purpose FIVE

as Kossuth.

one of the warmest days Of the very warm and
early spring of 1775. Indeed, it is generally

the British troops on their retreat from Con-
cord, while the spring so forward that on
the 18th of April the cherry trees were in full

three times since 1875, and which, judging from
the present appearance of the weather, will not

The WING Caucus at Washington.

The Whig party is certainly in n bad state of
repair. caucus was held in Washington on
Tuesday, April 20, for the purpose of selecting
the time and place for the holding of a National
convention. Senator Mangum of North Caro-
lima was President and Messrs Chandler of
Pennsylvania. and Dockcry Of North Carolina
Secretaries. Hon. Humphrey Marshall, of Ken
lucky, offered a resolution adopting the Com
promise measures which the President ruled
out Of order. The decision was sustained by
the caucus. Mr. Marshall and other southern
wings then withdrew, stating that it was no
place for a whig to remain in. The caucus then
selected Baltimore rs the place, and 10th Of June
the time for the meeting of the National Con
vention. The names of the wings who withdrew
Messrs. Morton and Brooke of the Senate :
Marshall Of Kentucky Gentry and Williams of
Tennessee CHngman and Outlaw Of North Car
olna; srother of Virgiuia CabelI Of Florida :;
and Moore and Landry Of Louisiana.
= The nomination Of Gen. Scott, we think, is
certain. An endorsement by the convention of
the Compromise measures is beyond expectation.
The determination is to run him mann on this
subject. The entire South says it viii not sub
init. The people will not vote for any man who
hesitates to express his opinions on questions Of
vital Importance to the country and to the pres
ervation Of the Union, no matter how transcen-
dent his military reputation. The kicking out
of Narshalls resolution produces an .imminent
deadly breach in the whig party, and it becomes
by this act sectional; its nationality is lost, if
tie south remains true TO its professions. In
letter, recently written by Mr.. Marshall, who is
undoubtedly, the most sagacious as well as the
most talented whig member of the House of
Representatives, he says :-''h! his (Seott' 81
present position lie cannot Obtain tie rote Of Ken
iucFy any more than he can command The p01cers
Of hearen." And alluding to the probability Of
n letter beirg written by Scott concerning the
Compromise, he says :-'' If hc (Seott) writes
al will depend upon the sentiments he shall ex-
press; If be does no, write, he cannot hope TO
obtain the vote Of a single slave-holding state.
and, as understand it, the rect cannot eject him"
Marshall is sensible man.

Tne Freshet nt the West.
PIrrsBuRG. April q.

PITTsBURG, Apfli Il
The freshet in the rivers here is the most dis
astrous since 1882. much larger amount Of
property has been destroyed than at any previ-
Gus food. However, the river is now falling
fast so the greater danger is over.
twill be some days before we will be able to
tell the actual number of lives lost or the a
mount of property destroyed.
The steaml navigation the river is en-
tirely suspended, as the boats cannot pass under
the Wheeling bridge, ewing to the high stage of
water.
The lowea part point of this city and the
water front Of Allegheny city, are both under
water
The little towns OF Birmingham and Temper
ancevile have suffered mnch damage, and are
partially under water
The damage in the interior must have been
very great judging from the vast quantity of
drift stuff which foated past the city.
1t is estimated that from three to FIVE hundred
RATS have been carried away aud broken up by
the flood.
The towns of Rochester, Bridgewater Sharon,
and Fallston, on the Beaver river, thirty miles
below this city, are under water to a great ex-
tent.
The accounts from all directions show that
the flood has been most disastrous on its course
The western cars, on account of the freshet
have suspended running this week
The Pennsylvania canal, as far as known is
not injured
The engine Of the city water works is under
water
The Chronicle gives an incident, which we
copy with pleasure.
On the Allegheny side, woman and mother, |
who had been almost exhausted in rescuing her
children from house nearly under water mis-
sed her hold, and fell into the surge beneath
She was soon swept out into the stream, and .
was being borne down its raging bosom with
fearful rapidity. Her clothes spread wide and
bore up, and when near the Allegheny bridge
she attracted the attention of the multitude
which lined the banks. Directly young man
was seen plungiug in to her rescue;
Like rich conquest in one hand he bore her,
And with the other dashed the saucy waves. /
That thrOnged and pressed to rob him of his
prize;
he struggled on with determined energy. until |
half dead himself he saved her from a va,erv |
grave. The intrepid man is Charles Lewis. q |
resident Of our city.
The Morgantown, Va, Mirror, of the 18th
instant has further particulars of damage done
by the flood along the Monongahela and its tri-
butaries On West Fork river three mills and
twenty-si1 buildings were swept away, leaving
eleven families houseless. Four hedges were
also destroyed.
At West Brownsville an unfinished steamboat
was swept away from the yard of Messrs. Cox
< Laneheart. Captain Pringle also lost fine 7
boat Messrs Watkins & Co., of the Browns
vile Iron Works, lost their warehouse, $50 kegs
of spikes and 20 tons of bar iron. At Monon-
gahela city the damage was about $1,000 The
injury to farms, &C., was very great in the ag-
gregate.

GOVERNOR BIGLER's VEToEs.-The vetoes OF
Gov BIGLEB receive the approval of the people
everywhere. We frequently hear persons who
strenuously opposed his election, speak warm
ly in his praise.
The following, from the Philadelphia San, a
paper that warmly advocated the election of Gov.
BIGLER's opponent, is sample of the commen-
datons we daily hear:
''We are much gratifed that We have not been
deceived in Gov. Bigler, with reference to his
views on banking monopolies. The veto power
is safe in such hands. We think other develop
ments viii produce similar results Our State is
averse to the creation of any more monopolies
If increased capital is required to meet business
demands let US have Free Banking. 1t is the
only democratic plan, and will meet favor with
all classes of our citizens, except those already
interested in the huge monopolies which oppress
men of business, instead of assisting them Let
Gov. Bigler go as he has commenced, and
Pennsylvania viii see brighter and happier
laws"

COMMUNICATION.
Mr.. EDITOR

NIX LDIIOR
The recent sudden death Of the
Hon. Richard Coulter one of the Judges Of the
Supreme Court viii necessarily impose upon the
people the duty Of looking about for a compe-
tent successor. Already several names have
been suggested, any Of which if selected
have no doubt from their talents and legal learn
ing would discharge their duties creditably to
themselves and the people. The democracy of
the State owe it TO themselves to see that the
cancy is filled by one Of their own number, and
to no one viii their attention be more readily
directed than to the Hon. JAMES CAMPBELL.
1t is hardly necessary at this late day to en-
ter into detail of his qualifications to discharge
the duties of that high and responsible Office,
nor to refute the oft repeated tale Of his enc
mics Of incompetency. The satisfactory man
ncr in which he discharged his duties as one of
the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas for
the city and county of Philadelphia for the last
ten years is a sufficient guarantee, that in any
station he would not fail to meet the expecta-
tons of the people. lie is well known to be
devoted to the principles and measures of the
Democratic party, and his exertions to promote
their success, may in some measure account for
the manner IN which he has heretofore been so
bitterly opposed by the Wings and Natives OF
Philadelphia city and county. But this fact
should only induce the Democracy of the State
to rally more closely around him, and prove
their power to sustain the champions of the par
ty. His recent defeat should not be regarded
as argument against his selection again, but
his having been before the people last year l
consider favorable. lie is well known his name
has became familiar to the people of the whole
State and his nomination by the party again
would induce it TO march to the polls in solid
column, with the determination and certainty of
success. That he enjoys the confidence of his
party is evident from the large vote he received
in the State Convention by which, he was NOM
mated from the manner in which he was sus-
tanned by the one h,0dred and seUenty-sir thou
sand democrats Of the State at the polls, and
from his having been selected by Gov Bigler
to fill the important Office of Attorney General
for the State, which he now holds
His defeat was effected by well concerted
scheme of misrepresentation, and trickery car
ried on throughout the State, and now that the
opportunity is offered, the democracy owe it to
themselves, to see that he is elevated along side
of those with whom he was associated upon the
ticket last fall and in whose election they could
triumph with the satisfaction of Laying sustain
ed a consistent member of the party, rebuked
disorganizers and in some measure meted out
to them retributive justice. CAMBRIA.

NINiIUND, ApflI 20.
TIE extreme penalty ofthe law was executed
to-day upon Reid and Clements, who were con-
victed some weeks since of murder on the high
seas, and short time since respited by the
President for two weeks. The execution took
place in the valley in the rear of the City Aims
House, and was witnessed by an immense crowd,
and three companies of military were on the
ground to preserve order. Gordan Hatcher a
slave, was also executed at the same time for
killing overseer Reid died calm and collec-
ted, betraying no fear. Clements was much af-
fected, and was with difficulty supported upon
the scaffold.
