of his letters to the New York Times, Kossuth
holds the following language:
According to Lord John Russell, "negotia-
ta0ns hacing scarcely cOmmenced,' you may
easily imagine that the Gar is not such fool
as not to profit by the friendly assistance which
England and France thus protfer him, to carry
out fully, his military preparations. The matter
is obvious. Turkey is fet.ered by her "good
allies" in defending herself; the combined fleet
is riding quietly at anchor in Besika Bay a few
weeks yet end the Autumn storms will make all
the laval force of England and France, useless
toy for the Black Sea, and then the Gar shall
have the force handy to do as he likes.
Thus, to gain time being essential for the Gear
now, he certainly does not mean to answer has
lily the propositions of England and France if
he be much pressed, it is likely he will accept,
or has already accepted, the mediation of his
obedient servant Austria, in order to be relieved
from the necessity ofgiving an immediate re-
ply to the Western Powers. For the rest, all
the speculations which you will meet in the pa
pers, are idle. do not pretend to know that
which, to be sure, the Gar has told nobody on
earth-but reply upon my knowledge of pre-.
existing facts; and the logic of necessary re-
suits, and can only say that, in my opinion,
" aoar Is inecttabie.''

APPEARANCE OF New ORLEAss-The
New Orleans Delta ofihe 5th instant, thus de :.
scribes the appearance Of that city, during the
present sickness:
The ships are all gone, and a solitary
steamer whose struggling passengers seem al
most afraid TO land, finds an ample berth at the
deserted wharf No cabman there to importune
you for fare, for their calls are now to the
grave, The very horses have melancholy
look as they follow the dreary hearse on its way
to some city of the dead. In the streets but a
short time ago SO bright and gay, no silks and
satins sparkle in the" garnish sun''-mourning
has taken their place and the sparse pronena-
ders move along as though afraid of the echoes
of their own footsteps. Catch if you can the
whispering words of the passer by Sick
dying,-dead! These are the words on every
lip. Opera, music, and dance seem sacrilegious
now.
How long will this plague rest upon the
land Will not every good citizen give his
mite to the Howard Association Will not our
city authorities do all they can to check the
pestilence Will not the Reverend clergy
offer up their prayers to the Great Ruler to stay
his wrath And shall we not all, each in his
own way, do something TO propitiate our bene-
ticent Creator,ss who numbers the hairs of our
head, and holds us in the hollow of his hand ~

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Tomorrow the books OF the Pacific Railroad Com
Iany chartered by the Legislature of this State
be re6pened, with view 10 completing the subscrip-
lions TO the stock. We have nowhere seen il an
nounced that any payment is required from the sub
scIibes, and accordingly there is practical limit
tie amount each may offer TO take. Nor indeed if We
may judge from the example OF the Illinois Central
Road is il certain that the Stockholders VIII ever be
called on to pay up their capital at all surprising
that the plan should be carried out and the work ac
tually built by this proposed Company. In tie o.
the Illinois Central the whole has been performed by
grants of land from the Government. and money Dor
rowed on bonds the stockholders having paid in some
fve per cent. only their nominal subscriptions
There seems be reason why this very profitable
operation should not be repeated a continental
scale On this ground only can we explain the subscrp
molten millions by Mr. Robert J. Walker gentleman
of vast financial genius no doubt but of infnitesna
credit and most exiguOus cash capital OF he
would subscribe millions any stock where he
expected TO have TO pay up his subscription
where anybody else had to pay up they would not be
likely TO give him very considerable grauity, even
for the benefit of his valuable Adyice and assistance
The inference, then, is that this particular speca-
laton is very uRsubstSntial affair. which the prac
teal in it would do well 10 bring 70 a speedy
close, leaving 10 Mr. Walker the undisputed glory of
having alone subscribed millions its stock Fox
we assure them, that after that magnificent sabscrp
iion it is more impossible for them to 20 forward than
it was for Mr. Walker 10 60 TO China without Collins
steamer TO carry him in state. When Jeremy Ddiler
himself offers to invest ten millions in great public
enterprise, is time for solid men who value their
