PHILADELPHIA, FEBRUARY 3, 1862.

KossUTH:-Those papers and men who advo-
cate armed Intervention in the affairs of Europe
are the very worst enemies of Kossuth and his
cause. They cherish hopes that can never be
realized, while they tend to make our position
as a nation less respected, and our influence less
potent than in our quiet and peaceful course SO
long and SO successfully pursued, to the dread of
tyrants and the encouragement of the friends of
freedom
We should look upon a war of Intervention in
European affairs as the greatest calamity that
could befall our nation.
There is not one who dares to advocate war on
Russia against her intervention with the affairs
of Hungary. Not one. None have done it, and
none will. Are they honest, then, in trying to
make political capital out of the fairest preten-
sons to bravery and war, while they pretend to
deprecate war f--Providence Mirror.

certed political action. Their influence, thrown
on either side, will determine an election. In
the city they are said to have six thousand votes
more than the colored voters have in the State.
The liquor-deaers are said to be well organized
in opposition to them. The number of places at
which liquor is sold in that city is reported to be
6,9l0-nip and tuck with the temperance voters,

In former times, says contemporary, members
of the New York City Council received no pecu-
mary compensation for their services, but were
in the habit Of having costly suppers at the pub
lie expense. 1t was found that there was no
saving in this mode of proceeding and four dol
lars per day were voted to members, abolishing
what was called the tea-drinking. Recently,
members have restored this practice, SO that
they not only receive their per diem of four dol

A Gaad Dog.


A little girl, the daughter Of q gentleman with
whom We are acquainted, was sent few days
since to neighboring house for q garment that
had been left there by her mother. The two
houses were within view of each other, common
intervening. On entering the garden Of the
house to which she had been sent, she was at
tackled by three dogs, and thrown down; her
clothes were torn, and one of the animals seized
her by the foot. At her own home there was a
biz, good-natured dog, who had never before
manifested any other positive qualities than o
good appetite. But he seemed to have appre-
hended the danger the child was approaching
his eyes had followed her, and, with the first in
timation Of the attack, he bounded forward,
reached the scene Of action in time to rescue
the child, and sent her assailants bowling. As
she entered the house, he forced his way in be-
side her; and when the lady attempted to hand
her the article for which she had been sent, he
sprang between them and in no other way could
the child procure it than by taking it up from
where II had been laid after the family had left
the room. When she departed, the dog took his
position between her and all possible assailants
and rs she emerged from the premises, he took
his place behind her, and followed slowly, and
with defiant air, until she had regained her
own home, when he threw himself down at the
threshold, with his face toward the theatre Of his
late exploit and relapsed into his accustomed
rsvsrie. t

During the days of M. Kossuth's residence
among us, lady whose husband derives his sup
port, and hers, from an Office under the United
States government happened in a store on the
Avenue when a conversation arose as to the
merits of the illustrious Hungarian. He is as
great as Washington" exclaimed one of the
company "As great repeated this lady" as
great! he is greater than ever Washington was I"
and her pretty little foot came down upon the floor
with an emphasis that fully attested her sincerity
g Kossuth and Washington" we have written,
and shall thus, perhaps, meet the approval of
many who think with our pretty little quasi ac-
quaintance.
NJ Kossuth some time since gave us an insight
into the intentions of Washington which APP
pears not to have been so happily expressed
in his writings some of our most estima-
Bile and philanthropic felow-citizens, nowadays,
think they should have been. This service
we were inclined to appreciate as kind and pro-
ftable, until an American gentleman, (Mr. Alex
ander Hamilton,) concurring in M. Kossuth's
| views on Intervention, but feeling that he could
not succeed in enforcing his construction of the
| writings Of Washington upon the minds of our
countrymen came to his relief, and offered testi-
lnony to the fact that 1.-THE famous proclamation
" neutrality issued by Washington, with the fare
| lreH address, and most Of Washngton's important
oaprs," were written by Alexander Hamilton, his
father, whose confidential correspondence, he
further says, evil prove the fact of authorship"
This revelation is contained in letter recently
published by Mr. Hamilton, and which he says
he addressed some time since to Kossuth. In this
he says that stthe time has come when certain
developments must be made public" We think
with him that it is high time if his present init
nations are correct. 1t is well for Washington
and his country, however, that there is abundant
direct proof of the paternity of most of the writ
ings attributed to his pen; and where this does
not exist, the predominance of his master mind
and the light of his glorious spirit almost as
infallibly revealed
The Albany g Register, in noticing the letter
Of the present Mr.. Hamilton, remarks: "That
Washington was in the habit of consulting his
most intimate friends, Hamilton among the rest,
in regard to the composition of his important state
papers, has never been denied, adopting reject
ing their suggestions, as to phraseology or senti
ment, as seemed to him expedient. But that the
documents referred to are his own, in all SUBJ
stantia particulars not only to their ideas but
even style, we have an undoubting faith"
And so have we. Still, let the "certain de-
velopments' be made public; for we cannot but
believe that the endorsing the hero who has here
tofore been honored as an American patriot and
sage, if it can be accomplished, will prove more
simple and feasible means of establishing the new
doctrines in this republic than by ENGRAVING them
upon any declarations known to have proceeded
from him who has been in past times regarded
as the Father of his Country.

THEATRICAL.

To the Editors Of the american Ielegraph:
1 think, Messrs. Editors, that you hold private
opinions which you are not always required pub
icly to express concerning theatrical entertain
ments; yet, as a journalist, you usually call at
tention to the bills offered at the National and
speak good-naturedly, though briefly, of the per-
formances.
One does not look in the newspapers for any
other than laudatory notices of every " star "
that appears; and the delighted portion of the
audience designated by Hamlet as the general"
(of whom, by the way, his opinion was not fiat
tering) would scarce Brooke a notice of the re-
cent performances which limited that Macbeth and
sleep were both murdered {" by their favor
lite or that Othello, "being wrought" was rather
u repulsiye individual No, sir; there are those
who would rebel at such insinuations and if
nothing commendatory can be said, it is best to
whistle the subject off, and let it down the
wind as easily as possible.
1t was the writer's intention, however, to say
something in commentator of the entertain
ments offered to the play-goers by Mr.. Marshall.
The performances at the National have been
usually highly creditable and the style in which
the pieces have been produced evinces good taste
in all the stage appointments. 1t would be
pleasure to speak of several of the stock COM
pany as their merits deserves but it will not be
deemed invidous to mention, particularly, Miss
Heron whose recent PRESERVATION Of Opheha was
so much admired.
Since the opening Of the National with the
. Hunchback," she has appeared as Pauline in
the " Lady of Lyons" and in several other char
acters, in which her readings as well as actions
proclaimed her an actress of very decided ability,
and one who can portray deep passion or emotion
without o'erstepping " the modesty of nature"
Her voice, it is true, does not possess great
volume, yet, to those who can appreciate correct
emphasis, and just conception of the authors
sense it is no less agreeable for being aooman's
voice. Her Julia has certainly not been surpassed
during the season; and as Desdemona, on Friday
night although character, perhaps, that she
seldom before attempted,) she elected the most
hearty and appreciative round Of applause be-
slowed during the whole performance.
But these remarks are already sufficiently ex-
tended for q notice. s.

The Forrest Divorco Case.

"If," says the Lockport Courier" "editors
and publishers of newspapers are SO unmindful
of the proprieties of life--pay no respect to
the virtuous sentiments of community, and fill
their columns with such revolving and demoralz-
ing matter as is contained in the developments
of the Forrest trial-it is time that our legisla-
ture should take the subject in hand, and enact
such laws as will prevent like exhibition of the
dark side Of humanity in future.

The practice Of revising speeches which are
made by Senators and Representatives excited
some discussion last week in the Senate Chamber
MIR. Hale, of New Hampshire, being the leader
of the movement for reform. He stated that
Senators were in the habit of inserting in the
published speeches matter that was not spoken,
and sometimes keeping back what was spoken.
So far as the mere habit of correcting reporters
notes is concerned it is nothing more than proper
that this should be done. The speakers are often
misunderstood or misinterpreted; word may be
lost to the ear, which would alter the entire
ing Of the expression and, in the excitement of
delivery, an idea, intended to be forcibly conveyed
TO the mind of the reader, may require a more
full delineation These are licenses which justice
would permit to every public speaker. Their
real sentiments should be understood by the
country, and, to be understood, must be forcibly,
clearly, and fully enunciated. 1t may also occur
speeches which could hardly appear well in print,
unless the stylus were first applied, and probably
some that it were better never to print at all.
It is to be presumed that no gentleman occu-
pying q seat in either branch of the National
Legislature can be afraid to print what he has
the courage to speak. If there be such one,
the American Congress is no fit place for him,
and the sooner he retires from it the better for
himself, his constituency, and the country. Free
dom Of speech and the freedom of the press are
thsgreat elements of our liberty. Both may be
abused and corrupted; but their benefits and
blessings 60 far overbalance the evils arising
from them, that we can never submit to their
vestricfion ,
