KossurH.- The New York Courier, speaking
of Kossuth and his reported return to the Unietd
States says
s'We speak advisedly when we say, he dare
not return. We speak from knowledge and the
evidence of our own eyes, when we say, that he
requied the generosity of our people by the basest
ngratitude. and that before he skunk from our
shores under the alias of Alexander Smith, he
signed contract to head an expedition from this
city against country with which we are at peace,
in open defiance of our Neutrality Laws This we
say we know from the evidence of our own eyes,
before the infamous contract was deposited in the
Department of State and if he ventures again to
come among us. our Government, whether Wing
or Democrat, will not hesitate to arrest and pun
sh him.

o. Mr.. GEO. n. SAUNDERS, the editor of the
democratic Review" has published letter in
the n. Y. Herald, in reply to the recent denunci-
ations of the Washington Union. The Review
has been bitterly assailed of late by the old fogy
press and the editor pays them back with interest.
The fight is beautiful one to behold, though we
rather sympathze with the fogies than with the
piratical wing of the party. Mr.. SAUNDERS
says
"As. to our principles, they are at this day the
earnest faith of twothirds of the Democratic par
ty proper. British possessions in North America,
Cuba, Hayti, the Northern States, Mexico, Cen
trail America, the Sandwich Islands, Africa by col
onzation and by the conquest Of the freed Amer
lean negro railroads and telegraphs to the Pacific
the country will go with us on these vital prop
ositions What is the course of the Washington
Union in opposition to our programme Denun-
citation, denunciation-abus and oblOquy-the ar
gument of fools from the time of that fool Esau,
who sold his birthright for dinner. 'The Re
view must be stopped, says the Union. Stop
the Reuie,v' has been the fogy watchword from
our first issue. But | say to Young America the
Reriep shall not stop. Let them send on their
subscriptions. Ifbut one out of a hundred of the
millions who think with us take the RerieW, togy-
ism will soon be purged from the Democratic par
ty. The subscribers can rely upon the continu-
ance of some of the able pens which have given
me such powerful support"

WoMAN's INFLUENCE IN CoNGREss.-A WASH
inpton correspondent of the New York CONNER,
c;sl attributes the loss of the New York mint oil
to a woman. 1t seems that Mr.. Price, of New
Jersey who was in favor Of the bill, was stopped
in the lobby by lady, who held him by the but
ton mill his name had been called and the vote
declared The result was 81 to SO. The vote
of Mr.. Price would have made tie, and the
Sneaker was in favor of the bill. 1t is not stated
whether the detention was a cunning ruse, or
merelv an act of thoughtlessness on the part of
the lady. but the fact proves that women have
some influence in the Legislature Of the country.

The LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELEcTIoN-The de-
luge ofDemocracy which overwhelmed the Wing
candidate at the late Presidential election seemed
so universal, that the successful party who swan
upon its waves did not hesitate to believe that
their less fortunate competitors were totally and
forever submerged. But since the sun has come
out and the waters grown calm, there has been
no difficultyin discerning their error; The Wing
party still lives refreshed, purified and invigo-
rated, like the green earth when the floods subsi-
ded. Though they were not victorious in the
great contest, they exhibited greater strength than
they had ever before displayed-and held in re-
serve power which if put forth would have more
than given the majority on their side which APP
peared against them.-Lpachb,rg Vrginian.

invented rifle which is said to be one of the
wonders of the age. The .Richmond Dispatch
says 1t can be fred with certainty and without the
danger OF explosion, at least forty times in mip-
ute. The cylinder for the printing or caps con-
tainS nine chambers, and reyolves vertically; it
can be removed in an instant, ard another, already
charged, that may be carried in the pocket, SUI
s,ituted for it. Thus the capacity of the weapon
may be multiplied to l9 or even q shots WITHOUT
stopping to load. II may be loaded with cart
ridge or loose powder and ball. 1t is an exceed
ingly neat weapon, and would be exactly the
thing for mounted men. II is not heavier than
the ordinary rifle, and shoots wirh equal accuracy
and force. 1t was exhibited at Richmond last
week

o. The Stanton indicator (DemocraD must
expect to be "hard up" for an issue In the Spring
elections. 1t says:
"We have been asked what are the issues be-
tween the two parties, SD lar as canvass for a
seat in the Legislature is concerned. Weanswer
! if there are no issues. we would som make one
and that would be the monstrous scheme of lend
inc the credit of the State to works of internal inn
provement, or in other words, the Loan System"
| by which the people will be made TO feel the bur
dens of taxation, and the State, perhaps, made to
repudiate."
Docs the Vindicator mean to say that it thinks
of abandoning Old party issues in the Spring can
vass? Why the Democracy have been boasting
that they intend to revolutionze Old Wing Angus
! ia and make her Democratic county. five had
needed their boastngs we should have been con-
strained to tremble ere this nr the fate of friends
Shelley, Imboden, Tate and Walker, in case they
are candidates for re election or for their Wing
successors ray now is such an issue as this to
ne m'Ie to affect the Wing party, when both the
Jena.e and House of Delegates, that passed the
loans, have large Democratic maiorities? Go
ahead Mr.. Yindicator, with this stick TO break
your own head, and we will try to keep before the
people certain very important issues which the
Democracy would like very much to dodge
Richmond ring.
As the indicator suggests one issue, we would
respectfully propose another which seems to us Of
more practical nteres, at this that is wheth-
er Virginia should claim her proportional share OF
the public lands of the United States, to be APP
piled to internal improvements, SC. Week be-
fore last, Congress passed a bill granting three
millions of acres TO Arkansas for railroad. Our
