Letter from Kossuth on Emigration.

The following letter was written by Governor
KossUTH. in reply to inquiries from gentle
msn in Newcastle England. IL is publishe l
in tho Chronicie. of that place:
DEAR SrR.-In your letter uf tho 18th in
slant you ask me. at the request of your men,
abont the prospects Of agricultural laborer
and coal miner in America. l feel honored
by this confidence and gladly give you my
impressions. The United States, csnecially
the western portion Of the eountrv-Wiscon-
and Iowa-offar most favorable Oh n"css for
emigration, especially to every industrial aeri-
cplturalisf who has some capital say fl00 or
f20o. There is not the slightest doubt that
in verv short time he must succeed, as the
value Of tho settlements towards the West,
while the farmer has besides all tho benefits of
his industry by his anual crops, Congress land
at 81 25 (equal to five English shillings) the
acre; fctches, when cleared and brought un-
der cultivation, in very few years, ten or fif
teen and more dollars tho acre. There are,
besides, such facilities for the education of the
children, to whom the social equality opens
the most honorable career, that strongly ad-
wise emigration tn every agrcutnralsts ioho
has some capital The daily laborer encoun-
ters more difficulty. Wages amount common
ly in the West (hesides board and lodging,
which is given TO the laborcr.) to eight doiIars
Ohirty-two shillings.) amonfb; for on agricul-
turer m harvest time one dollar day, but
hired labor is not so much required as in Eng
land. the farmers in the West being all small
propretors who work their fields themselves
As to wages of the coal miners; have no
experience. but know that extensive coal
fields are worked all over tho Union, especial
" 10 the State Of Pennsylvania, and skilled la
borers always find employment.
With eincara fhapta for votfr svmpathv.
yours faithfully, l.. KossurH.

SALMON FIsHING.--A Marysville Cali tornia) paper gives the following account of the manner in which the Indians catch salmon:
 "We witnessed a new and exciting kind of sport yesterday morning. Salmon of huge dimensions, and in great numbers, ac- companied by thousands of smaller fry, were then struggling over the shoals in the river opposite our city. Thither the Indians promptly repaired with their spears, where they at once commenced an indis- criminate slaughter. They were captured in large numbers, and in the following man. her. A small barbed spear is attached to straight pole some twelve or fifteen feet in length. On the fish being wounded its struggles immediately decach the spear from the pole, but they are made fast together by strong cord, some eighteen inches in length, by the aid of which they are safely lowed to the shore.
 The taking and securing was performed by the Indians with great skill and deXterl- tv, and excited the curiosity of hundreds who were watching their operations from the river bank"

A wise man hath his foibles as we'll as a fool; but the difference between them is that the foibles of one are known to himself and concealed from the world; the foibles of the other are known to the world and concealed from himself. The wise man sees those fralties in himself which others can not; but the fool is blind to those bemishes in his character which are conspicuous to everybody else. Whence it appears that self-knowledge is that which makes the main difference between the wise man and a fool. in the moral sense of the word.
