boro' Gazette stating that JAMES HUNGER

County Wing and Spirit Of Seventy Six, is
engaged in preparing a History of Mary
land !; and tina. he is spoken of as Librarian
TO the State, which officer is to be appoint
ed by the Legislature at lis approaching
session.
Mr.. Hungerford is a gentleman of high
order of talents, good scholar, and writes
with ease and perspicui,y. He was educa-
ted to the profession Of law, and if selected
to such q situation bis leisure, in the recess
Of The Legislature and the vacation Of the
Court Of Appeals, nigh, we'll be employed
in arranging and collecting the mass Of
manuscript and documentary papers in The
archives Of the State government connected
with the early history of the Colony. To
this task he is doubtless well qualified, and
a succinct and accurate history of the State
is much needed. There are many facts and
incidents Of great interest which are not re-
corded in the works Of Bozman, McMahon
or McSherry, and a man who is fond Of re-
search and who has the leisure to devote TO
it, and would task himself TO the labour of
examining the papers end records of the
Government, end who would draw from
every other available source, might write
out history of the Stale both under its CO.
lonial and constitutional government, which
would perpeuate facts and occurrences that
must otherwise soon be lost, and do justice

The Maryland Historical Society, am

and papers relating to the early history Of
the Colony, and had supposed tina. some
one who might &c. access to those papers

work 10 the people Of the State. Blu, as

A CRY AsLEEP.-The New York Tri-

A CRY AsLEEP-The New York Tri-
bune has the following pretty thing in re-
ference TO Greenwo God cemetery:
A day or two ago we visited a city, a
populous city, whose houses will oullsst
New York, for they shsll endure "lll
doomsday." Strange to say, though its po-
Pulat.on is daily increasing, no colony ever
issues from its border.
The golden chime Of Pacifc's waves has
never charmed single ear there the shou,
OF the pioneer in the futher west has never
lured them hence to seek new homes. In
deed, the city we speak of stands alone,
like rock bound isle in the midst Of tur-
bulent ocean-.he busy world whirls and
rears around, but there it remains unmov
ed.
We visited il in broad day, but the streets
were empty moi familiar face or voice 10
greet US; not light fools.ep to make mu-
SIC to our ear. II was strange there shone
the sun with the mild and beautiful radi-
ance Of autumn, and vet no sound of living
thing. Marble mansions were on every
hand, but none Of the solemn city came
forth 10 meet and welcome us. Names
were graVed on every portal, but they tina
owned them-where ere they! 1t was &
| city OF names and no, Of things; of words
and not of works.
AT length there came train-,here was
an arrival. On it came, noselessly, slow.
! ly. Was it ell dream? By mansion az
ter mansion it passed, end stopped. A ten.
ant: for another dwelling; house fol-
another wanderer rest for another wea

So it seemed 10 us as we stood there, ant
80 the shadows ,hickening over the thought
we hurried away from Greenwood, and wer
once more mingled with the tide of The iv

KoszTA's STATEMENT OF HIS OWN CASE
The Hungarian rescued al Smyrna by Cap
tain Ingraham, has written letter to the
President, warmly thanking him for the
interposilion of the American authorities in
his case, and giving a narrative of the va.
rious circumstances Of his Imprisonment and
escape.
The narrative presents several details in
regard to his capture which have not before
appeared. 1t seems that he was treated
with great harshness on board the Austrian
sloop. 1t also appears that his departure from
Smyrna was unconditional. The Austrian
Ambassador insisted that he should not be
allowed to return to Turkey, bu, these terms
Koszta refused to accept.
When he asked for American protection
it was given to him, at the risk of conflict
and the loss Of many American lives. Yel
he seems, even on his own showing, 10
have lectured his deiverers on their diplo-
matte duties, and while he was under Amer
lean protection to have foraoiien his ohliga=
lions and TO have been exacling and dictate
rial about punctillios. His language respect
ing M. Consul Brown is not becoming
A Washington correspondent Of The New
York Erpress says of Koszta-
He calls upon the Government TO return
him to Turkey, from whence he was taken
without his consent, or to give him employ
ment in the service Of The United States! =
He says he was engaged in commercial bu-
siness in Smyrna, as the agent Of foreign
house.
In brief Koszta desires to return to Tur-
key, protected by an American passport,
and clothed with the nationality of the Uni
ted States. He wants, he says, thai The right
of American citizenship in Europe should
be avowed to all the world, and manifested
in his own person.
Kosz'a is about forty years of age, end
without any of the elements of a lion as
the Kossu,h or Mazzini order. He is au-
dacious enough in his expectations, but
rather quiet and gentle in his Manners
He had no wish to come to the United
States, and rather protested agains, il, until
pressed to leave by the American Legation
IN Turkey.
