arouse them to fury of enthusiasm yer, calm
and clear-headed, guiding them safely in ever,
difficulty and danger. At once statesman, ora
tor, soldier. Hear him on the eve of the coming
contest:
Let each man take up arms But as for the
women, let them go midway between Vespriu
and Weissem6u rgh, and dig wide grave
There we will bury the name, the honor, the
Nation of Hungary; or else orr enemies shall
lie in that wide grave"
That the Magyars were not idle in the NEAR
time, may be seen by the following enumeration
OF the forces collected to oppose the Austrian in
vaslon. This main army, under General Cor.
goy, destined TO resist WindischgEatz, was com.
posed of 10000 men, with 100 pieces of can
non. The second army, opposed to the Croa,s
and commanded by General Percze, Il, 600 men
and p pieces Of artillery. The third army, to
act in Sclayonia, counted Is, 900 men, with 80
pieces OF cannon. The fourth army, opposed to
the Seryans, 5000 men, and 60 cannon The
fifth army, commanded by the brave Benz, was
5000, with 30 cannon and the sixth, or army
of reserve, in Upper Hungary, 10000 troops,
and IL cannon. The whole force amounted to
about l40 600 troops, and the field artillery to a.
bout 800 pieces of cannon. Besides this were
the battering trains, and the guns mounted on
the different forts commanding this were six
Lieutenant Field Marshels, four of them Hun

rails. thirteen Of them Hungarian, one Tfansylya-
man, and one Irish. The colossal army of Aus
tria at that time consisted Of 5000 men, com
posed as follows: 358, 100 infantry, Ga, 524 cav
airy, 81 ,8l5 artillery, 10000 baggage men, and
$40 marine troops. Counting the various "a
ces around them, hostile to the Magyars, and
collected under the Ban, and Russia with no.
600 troops on the frontiers, ready at moment
warning to pour down Or them, one cannot help
admiring the intrepid spirit Of these heroic men,
which prompted them to take the field against
such tremendous odds.
Lave thus briefly stated the origin and cause
OF the contest between Austria and Hungary
The details of the struggle that followed are
known to all Russia in,erfered Gorgey be-
trayed his country; and Hope, for a season, sec
med TO bid the world farewell. The history Of
warfare does not show more terrible and revolt
ing scenes than occurred in this war The peace
full plains of the Danube were laid waste towns
and villages pundered houses of worship des,
ecrGtod; homes made desolatc The heroes who
escaped martyrdom scattered through the world
Yet civilized, religious ons, folded their arms
and LOOTED on calmly, viii these Uungaruns,
worthy Of the days of Marathon and Thermopy-
lac, were butchercd murdered. martyred, while
women were publicly whipped, and all the 9TH
or namcless crimes committed which are the
usual concomitants of hostile armies
Kossuth is now in the United States, and his
mission avowedly is to obtain material add for
another instruction in Hungary. It is a noble
thing, certainly, 10 assist the weak against the
strong, the oppressed against the oppressor; but
are people aware that every dollar paid into the
Hungarian fund will 60 to assist in having the
tho terrific scenes of warfare Of 40 enacted a
gain, with precisely the same results? Some
thing more than money is wanting. II is time
that the friends of freedom throughout the world
should speak out and foremost amorg those
should be the people and government of the Uni
ted States. The oppressed nations ofEurope all
look to this country in the hour of their need, and
we freely extend to them our sympathy But
Of wha; use is that to them The only sympa-
thy that Nicholas, HaPsburg & Co care for, is
that described by John Mitchell when speaking
Of public opinion, sympathy with helmet on
his head, and a musket in his hand" 90 not
90 so far US to advocate armed Interference, but
20 as fer as | can in saying that there is too
much lodging and going-round-the-bush policy
Just now at Washington. The whisperings in
corners, and quibbles, and eyasions, with which
Kossuth is met at the Capital DO not become the
representatives of this great country. The Off
ciai interference Of the governments of England
and the United States will prevent the shedding
of blood in case Of another war with Austris, for
might alone will deter the Gar from keeping
F4ancis Joseph \ here he has placed him. With
an Grny Of one million and half, feet Of
100 sat Of the line, aud 800 other armed resse3s,
and riches ad infnifun it is 20 be hoped that
that excellent PotcDtate will not be scared to
death with sympathy. But it behooyes the
friends OF constitutional liberty throughout the
world 20 make themselves heard, in view Of the
atrocious conspiracy among the despo,s Of Eu-
rope which now threatens TO tread out the last
spark Of that glorious inspiration we saw gleam-
ing among the oppressed nations in 1918. Al
ready has the perured rnoun;cbank Of France
performed lis part, abvogating the constitutions
scizjng en- the reins Of government, and estab-
fishing military despotisn and freedom now
has no resting place in Europe. If the Cabj-
nets Of England and the United States had in
,ericred in time, instead Of the cloud of gloom
which now hangs over the chained nations Of
Europe, her fields would be radiant with the sun
shine Of hope and joy, and humanity would be
spared tie pain of Witnessing war Of exteTmin-
alton, where thousands persisted daily by the
grape and canister ofiho despots. But am one
Of those who still have hope FOR human freedom,
