Of the affair is as follows:
| She was lady of fortune and rank, resided
in Sebenburgen, the southeastern part of Hun
gary. Her husband was an officer Of the Hun
garan army, and she herself naturally sympa-
thised with his party, and. it is said frequently
entertained BEN and his officers under him in
a very hospitable maner This had exasperated
the Austrians. And when at lengththey occu-
| pied that part of Hungary, they were quite
ready for any seyerities against her. Unfor-
tunately for her, her tenantry made some
celebration at the time, and burned (she stated
this was done without her knowledge) the en-
peror Francis in effigy She was at once seized
and. at the command of the Austrian officer,
made to ''run the gautlet,' or gassenlauf, as
they call it. | gained some acquaintance with
this Austrian punishment while in the Gros
Warden prison, as it was applied 10 all the
thieves deserters of the regiment every Sat
urday afternoon. The custom usually is to call
out three hundred men, who form two rows, one
hundred and fifty on a side. Each man is pro-
vided with tough timber stick. The crimi-
nal a hardy, strong man commonly, is stripped
to the waist and made to walk leisurely thro'

gets 'five and twenty" himself. 1t is general

this four times, if he, has strength enough TO
get to the end, will die in q few hours. This
was madame Maderspach's punishment though,

After several other States, which had cast
their votes Tor Mr. Fillmore had given in their
adhesion 10 the nomination of Gen. SCoTT,
loud calls were made for KENTUCKY, to which
Gen. LESLIE COMBS responded briefly.as fol-
lows:
"He remarked that il seemed hardly neces-
sary for him TO say what the gallant Wing
State of Kentuckey would do next November.
Her past history should speak for her. Al
thongh she had shown her sense ofjustice and
gratitude to Mr.. Fillmore, by marching up
unflinchingly through fifty-three ballotngs, in
solid column, to his support even after it be-
came obvious that he would most probably
not be nominated, yet she had ever shown that
the Wing cause was dearer to her than any in
dividual on earth Look at 1910, when her
own ilustrious, best-loved son had been sac
rificed at Harrisburg-while her whole heart
was sore and bleeding, she had marched up to
the polls for Harrison and given majority of
twenty-five thousand votes. Again, in 1S4S,
when the same great leader had been set a.
side, although many true and faithful Wings
were indignant at the outrage, yet Kentuckey
gave ten thousand majority for Gen. Taylor.
Under these facts and circumstances Gen. Z.
might proudly ask. What could not Kentuckey
do, when Duty, Honor and Patriotism called
upon her to act? He would say to the great
States of New-York, Pennsylvania and ONO
Go to work, and continue working all the time.
You have named our canddate-you have ap-

enemies of American labor-the opponents
