If Martin Koszta was entitled to any right
on the ground Of American citizenship, which
point was definitely settled by Mr.. Marcy, he
had the right to remain in Turkey. The
American consul at Smyrna, Mr. Of1ey, prop
erly understood the matter, and contended for
Koszta's free locomotion as citizen of the
United States. But Mr.. Marsh, the American
Minister at Constantinople, and Mr. Brown,
the Secretary, took different view of the sub
ject, not being up to American ideas of pro-
gress. Those officers were appointed by the
wing administration, and probably entertained
the contracted notions Of their party in rela-
ton to protection Of American citizens abroad
They wanted Koszta sent home, and thought
enough was gained in saving him from Aus
trian dungeons. AS to the "honor of the
country" so far as the administration is con-
cerned, it stands safe on Secretary Marcy's
letter, and that is safe enough. 1t is not sup
posed Kcszta will be sent back for the sake of
correcting Mr.. Marsh S blunder It is enough
to know that the administration approves the
course taken by Consul Offley at Smyrna, and
that is stated distinctly. Mr. Marsh's posi-
ton at Constantinople will be filled by per-
son appointed by President Pierce, who, we
doubt not, will better understand the rights
pertaining TO American citizenship.-Ed.

A PICTURE OF BENNETT OF THE HERALD
The Louisville Jonrnal &C. ID. Prentice) in con-
tempating the portrait of Bennett, of the N. Y.
Herald, in the Democratic Repiep, breaks forth
on ugliness as follows:
Benefits portrait is terrific. Such thing
ought never to be painted or daguereotyped.
1t ought to be considered penal offence to
make anything so revolving to all our ideas of
propriety. No man has right to monopolize
so much ugliness. If BENEFITS ugliness could
be distributed over thousand faces, it would
make each of them intensely, hatefully ugly.
He ought not to be permitted to 60 into the
street without blanket over his awful frontis-
piece. No wonder that so many of the New
York children die of convusions, since Bennett
is permitted to walk abroad with uncovered
face. We once heard of mans face that was
so ugly that it was placed on andirons for the
purpose of frightening children from the fire
with much effect. No child dared to approach
the andirons, and the liability of combustion
from such cause was greatly lessened. '
If Benefits ugly likeness were stamped on
fire places, the effect would be decidedly bad,
for the children would not dare to 60 near
enough to the fire to keep warm, and would be-
come frost bitten and perhaps frozen to death.
We cannot conceive of any reason why anything
should be as ugly as Bennett. He is uglier
than half-starved hyeDa He is ugliness per-
fected There is thoroughness about his ug-
liness which defes competition. When Mirabeau
described himself as tiger that had the small
pox, he placed very ugly idea in everybody's
mind, but it was beautiful when compared with
Bennett's face. When Appelles made his beau
ty, his Venus, he took an eye from one woman,
u nose from another, a mouth from third, and
so until the Venus was complete in her more
than earthly beauty. Now if any Appeles, OF
artist of any appelation, wished to make the
most indubtably perfect representation of ugli.
ness, he would not be compelled to take fea.
lures from several very ugly persons, but all he
would be compelled to do would be to get Ben.
netts face and the enterprise would be accom-
plished

SITE FOR A MILITARY HospITAL--sSEARcH
RENEwED.-Genera Scott, the old hero of Cha
pultepec, having failed to locate suitable site
for military hospital during the last Presiden-
tial campaign, the search has been lately renew
ed by Gen. Twiggs and Jesup, and Surgeon
General Lawson. They visited the Blue Lick
Springs of Kentucky, together with Harrods-
burg and Drenon with view of locating the
asylum; but whether they have met with any
better success than the old General, has not yet
been made public. Det. Times

A history of Spirit Rappings in the United
States, says an exchange, has just been publish
ed in England, compiled by a Mr. Henry Spen-
Ger, in which all the wonderful accounts of these
exhibitions which have filled some of our news
papers during the past few years, are repro
duced for the edfcation and astonishment of
the British public. The March number Of Tait's
Magazine, in a review of this book, states the
following as facts which will probably be new
on this side Of the Atlantic:
"At the present time there are above thirty
thousand media scattered throughout the United
States; the responses they elicit from their ac-
comodating genii are relied on as absolute truth
by large section of the inhabitants; and they
are consulted as confdingly as is the physician
by the patient, and used as regularly as is tie
post office or the electric telegraph"

The SLAVE TRADE.-We learn from cred-
ible source that three Portuguese Captains and
one Catalan merchant arrived from Cuba by the
Cherokee and Black Warrior steamers, and are
in this city making arrangements for despatch
ing vessels to the coast Of Africa to engage in
the slave trade between that coast and CUBA
They have already contracted for three clippers
to be built at Baltimore, and are making other
preparations in this city.
1t is known that there are in this city several
mercantile houses extensively engaged in the
slave trade, and that half dozen vessels have
recently left this and other American ports fol
the African coast. These vessels clear for some
Cuban port, where they never arrive; and being
provided with false papers and sailing under the
American flag, they succeed in reaching the
coast, obtaining cargoes of slaves, and landing
them in Cuba with the connivance and compiled.
ty of the Spanish authorities. Our correspond.
ence from Havana has contained important state.
ments on this subject from time to time.

We find in the Syracuse S:ar tolerable rich
thing. In the State of Ohio, there resided a
family, consisting of an old man, by the name
of Beaver, and his three sons, all of them very
hard "pets," who had often laughed to scorn
the advice and treaties of pious though a very
eccentric minister who resided in the same town.
1t happened that one Of the boys was bitten by
rattlesnake and was expected to die, when the
minister was sent for in great haste. On his ar
rival he found the young man very penitent and
anxious to be prayed with. The minister call
ing on the family kneeled down and prayed in
this wise" D Lord we thank thee for rattle
snakes; we thank thee because rattlesnake
has bit Jim. We pray thee to send rattle
snake to bite John; send one to bite Bill; send
one to bite Sam and, 0 Lord, send the biggest
kind of a rattlesnake to bite the old man, for
nothing but rattlesnakes will ever bring the
Beaver family to repentance"

A FooL's DEoIs1oN.-A poor beggar in Paris,
being very hungry, stayed so long in cooks
shop who was dishing up of meat, that his
stomach was satisfied with only the smell there
of. The choleric, covetous cook demanded of
him to pay for his breakfast. The poor man de-
MED it, and it was referred to the decision of
the next man that should pass by, who chanced
to be a most notorious idiot. He determined
that the poor mans money should be put be-
twixt empty dishes, andythe cook recompensed
by its jngling, as he was satisfied with only the
smell Of the cooks meat iefanlr fuller

The HEARTS ELoQUENCE.-The following is
from the graceful pen of Chester. Who has a
mother that can fail to admire Hugh Legare
A southern correspondent of the N. Y. Times,
writing of Hugh Legare, says that while Sena-
ators and Representatives were congratuating
him at the close of one of his mastery speech
es, he remarked, "It is all nothing, my mother
was not there to hear it," In this one sentence
he exceeded all his former eloquence. 1t was
the vibration of a string which the worlds rough
fingers had not swept-the music of memory
that station and fattery had never caused to fall
ter-the spontaneous up-bursting of an affec-
ton that gushed in his youth and honored his
manhood. Blessed is the mother of such son
and yet how few have exhibited a devotion so
TENDER remembrance so vivid and filial. Let
us thank the dead statesman for his pious exam
pie. and never be found recreant to so loving a
duty-the duty of cherishing and guarding a
mothers memory.
