KossuTH GONE OFF VERY SuSDDENLY-The
great Magyar has taken his departure from our
Shores suddenly aud luncercmoniouSly. Weknew
he was preparing to return to Europe-a sadder
and wishcr, but hardly a richer man than
when he left it-and his own journals announ-
ced that his departure was to take place on Sat-
urdav next, by the steamship Washington. 1t
seems, however, that this was all a rlse, design
ed to misead the public on both sides of the At
lantic, as he presented himself on board the AT
yica Yesterday, at the last moment, in the most
private manner, in company with Madame Kos
suth, and his aid, Colonel Bethlen, and without
the previous knowledge, as we learn, of MIR.
Cunard, or any of his clerks, and departed in her
for Liverpool.
We have not learned that any particular rea-
son existed for this unexpected movement, but
the probabilityis that Kossuth was not able to
effect certain money arrangements to complete
the payment for his rusty muskcts and useless
saddles: and we are somewhat inclined to this
supposition, because we have heard that he was
trying to raise money to arrange these matters.
1t is, therefore, probable that he slipped off to
avoid a legal issue between him and some of the
Kossuth spectators who teeced and defrauded
him. This is very likely, and we would not be
at all surprised lift were found real fact. These
harpier have treated poor Kossuth very badly
hunbugged him, deceived him and plundered
him: and, as last resOrt-as we have heard
threatened to arrest him on account OF some
moneys remaining unpaid for the rusty guns and
old saddles lie is now, however, safe out of their
clutches, and will hardly trust himself in such
bad company in future.-N. Y. HTuM.

MORE OF KossUTH.-Some of our exchanges
seem determined to revive the fading memories
of the great Maguyar in the minds Of the peo-
pie. The Ncw- York Times having intimated
that Kossuth did not leave the United States un-
der the alias of Alexander Smith, and nsinuated
that the Courier of that city charged him with
leaving the country without paying his debts,
and expressed the hope that with respect to the
payment of debts the editor of the Courier and
Enquirer will always be as prompt in that way,
as Gov. Kossuth has undoubtedly been. The
Courier now replies: eve not onl reiterate all
we wrote in regard to the manner OF Kossuth's
fight, his alias DC, DC, but we state further for
the information of the Times, that he did not
settle his bill with his land lady quite as sat!sac-
tory as We had supposed. And we would also
inform the organ of kossuth, that he deliberate
ly assured his landlady he was going to Jersey
city, to stay until Saturday with a friend, and
that she must take the SUN he offered or COM
mence suit at law And this too within
quarter of an hour of his going on board the
steamer and sailing from our shores under the
alias of Alexander Smith, South. Standard.

have long pestered the frontier to commit other than
minor marauding forays if they disposed.
The settlers, far learn certainly feel
under apprehension Of the inroads of their warke
neighbors.
The fear Of immediate punishment must deter the
Camanches from committing depredaons and if means
could only be provided to furnish them with food,
should hear Of further hosttes from that powerful
tribe. This question which demands the serious at
tenton Of Governments for driven from many Of their

THE FLORIDA INDIANS.

We recently noticed in New York paper a
statement to the effect that an officer of the United
States army, just arrived from Florida reports the
prospect Of the removal of these Indians to the
West as very favorable We learn, also, that COM
munication from Gen. BLAKE dated November
18th, has been received by the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, in which Gen. b. states that every
thing is progressing well. He expected to dispatch
a pnrty to their future Western home at some time
during the present month. We regret to learn,
however, that Gen. b. reports much sickness among
their people, and states that more unhealthy
than they have just passed through has not in many
years been experienced by them.
We have read in a Florida paper report of the
proceedings of meeting of citizens of Marion
county, Florida, in which resort to compulsory
measures by the State to Danish these Indians is
deprecated, and the best wishes for the success of
Gen. BLAKE, and confidence in his ability to ac-
complish the purpose in view by pacific means, are
warmly expressed. For the welfare Of all parties,
and for the cause of humanity, we cordially unite
in the views and hopes Of this meeting.
