Kossuth and his friends left here last night on
the good boat Aleck Scott, for the South, and the
Kossuthian fever, which ragged among the Germans,
has subsidized with the absence OF that cciot his
presence gave. His old friend, Ujhazy, who, with a
small band of Ilungarians, established a colony in
Iowa, called New Buda, has accompanied him.
New Buda has been sold, and the eolonists look
ing towards new home in Texas. The amount
Of material add raised here is stated at nine
thousand hundred dollars, which is said
TO be exclusive of ten thousand dollars held in
bonds by a society or company OF Germans. This,
however, is not authenticated and is merely flying
local report. Deputations from several up river
towns came here with invitations, all of which were
met with regrets--othcr engagements, Sc. Madame
kossuth has held her levec--thereby giving to the
ladies a fair oportunity of displaying the spring
fashions, and their partiahty to lionizing. The
Governor has received Populations with addresses

Louis" in Wymans Hall--the admission to which
was the exhibit of five dollar Hungarian bond--

a morning call from some twenty of the clergy, with
DR.. A. Billiard as their organ,-has created an cpl
demieal taste for a peculiar oddity in the shape
Of hat, which he patronises personally; and has
gone OF elsewhere, to so through the same per-
torrance.
Among all his visitants, Col. Benton was not
one, contrary TO our expressed opinion in our last,
and this has opened market for much fruitful spec
ulation 1t is broadly limited at, that the honorable
gentleman is vacillating between the German and
Irish vote, and it Is in the highest degree probable,
that such may be the unsteady condition Of his mind

sition to be placed in. On the one hand the Ger
mans unanimous in favor Of kossuth and the ''ma-
terial aid " and on the other, the Irish Catholics de-
nouncing the Magyar through the organ Of their
Church. IL will be complete reading of the two
stools. The Germans have got the presumption
that the slight TO Kossnth was intentional, aud an
open market offer to the Catholics; and with the
spirit which exists between them, we believe the oms
sion will be remembered to the honorable gentle
mans cost, at some future day. The Catholics have
also their fears of Col Benten, as his active ooadju
tors arc intimately allied with the German enthusi-
ann for kossuth and his doctrines.
kossuth's great speech here, delayed for one day
by ~ heavy rain and, at last, delivered under
soaking shower, and most Austrianic sky, was
aimed directly At the Jesuits and to set himself
right the question of religious liberty with the
Catholics. You have already received that speech,
but viii merely state that his assertion that of the
thirty-fye Jcsuts in the college here, eight were
imported frem Austria, was denounced as falsity
on the following morning. by the '.Shcpherd of the
Valley That denial, however, well as its con-
tradiction to Kossuth that the Romish clergy of
Hungary were his warmest supporters, were weak,
and disproved nothing to the public, whatever they
may have done to the Catholic readers OF that
paper.
The prospect which cleaned for moment, Of
reconciliation Of interest between the Bentonites
and the antics, has clouded over, and is now per-
haps, as distant as ever. The nominations COM

taken an unfavorable turn, which will end in an
