MARTIN hoSZrA IN CHICAGO.-This renown-
cd individual, whom Capt. Ingraham rescued
from the deck of an Austrian brig of war in
the harbor of Smyrna, arrived in this city, Oh
Monday afternoon last, We had call from
him yesterday afternoon, and during a short
conversation with him obtained many facts
from him rs TO his occupations, before emgra-
ting to America. He is gentlemen of com
mon statue, dark complexion, bright oycs, and
possessed of a very intellectual countcnance.
Tho cause of Capt Koszta's coming to this
city is simply this.
The public will remember that tho New
York papers recently published statement
that ho was in impoverished circumstances in
that city, was without money, and had applied
to Meade ond Brothers, daguerotypiss. on
Brodway, to learn that art rs a means of OBJ
tanning a livelihood On reading tho state
mont, John III. Kodzie, E.q., of this city, I'm
mediately addressed n letter to him, in case ho
desired to come West, to draw on him for suf
ficient to pay his travelling expenses Subse.
quently, Capt. Koszta received letter from
Sheldon & Co., of tho State Bank, in this city.
Offering situation in their establishment On
showing the letter to his friends in New York
he was at once advised TO come hithcr. and is
now in this city at tho residence of Mr.. Ked-
zie Capt Koszta is ready to engage in any
honorable pursuit that will gain living. and
those who desire to see him can do so bv call
ing at Mr.. KS. Office on Randolph street.
Previous to tho outbreak Of the Hungarian
war, Mr.. Koszia was practicing lawyer in his
native land, and at ono time was Judge on
the bench. When war was declared, he en-
tered tho army as an aid to Gen. Bonn, with tho
rank of Captain, and served under that distin-
guished officer for several months; but subsc-
quently was attached to Kossuth's suite. His
history since hc was rescued from tho Austrian
brig Hussar is probably familiar to our road
ers. Possessed of an honest hcart.and a distin.
gnshed exile, ii is hoped bo will receive all
the aid in the power of our citizens to bcstow.

SENATOR DOUGLASS.

Not day passes without bringing to light
fresh proof that tho prediction of Nj. Benton
respecting the "lttle giants political suicide
Is true. We see it stated by the Chicago
Journal that Mr. Douglass made speech In
that city in 1850. and offered a series of rcso-
iutions. among which was the following:
Resotred. That we will stand or fall by tho
American Union and its Constitution, ,riM all
It's Compromise, with its glorious memories of
the past, and glorious hopes tho future.
In the same hall in which the aboyo resolu-
tlon was offered in 1850. meeting was held
on Wednesday evening by those who are op
posed 10 the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise. A majority of the officers and speakers
have been identified with the bunker Demo
Gratis who supported the Compromise of 1850
This must be particularly pleasant to Mr..
Douglass, who will soon bo convinced, we
think, that he cannot mako bis friends turn u

at the present tmo.-[ Det. Adv

Hot Haste.

1t will be seen by reference to the proceed
ings of the House on the 9th, and of the
Senate on the 28th, that a bill was pressed
through its three several readings in each
House, repeating q law relating to licensing
retailers of spirituous liquors in Elizabeth
City. This law was adopted at the last ses-
sion Of the Legislature, in conformity with
the wish of a large majority of the citizens
of that place in tow meeting expressed,
and contains, we believe, no other provisions
or powers than those given to Raleigh, Will
mington and other towns in the State, viz
that licenses granted by the County Courts
shall not be valid unless granted after a re-
commentator from the Board of Commits
sioners has been obtained. VIII it was SO
importankthat such a law should be repealed
in such hot haste, when applied to Elizabeth
City, and no other place, we cannot under.
stand.
When in Elizabeth City a few weeks since,
we were told four-ffths of the inhabitants,
perhaps, were opposed to the repeal of the

al be sent to the General Assembly, praying
that it be not repealed. Mr.. Mann, the Rep
resentative from Pasquotank, who pressed
the repeal bill through three readings in ont
day, must have been fearful that the memo
rial would be upon him before it could b
gotten through the Houses in the regular
way. We hope our Elizabeth City friends
will yet get up their memorial and send i
on, and get the repeating Act repealed-thu
Heroding Herod.
We believe the facts in the case were no
understood by the Legislature had the,
been, the bill would not have passed, or a
least some consideration on the matte
would have been taken. As it now is, tn
County Courts have the power to charter a
many grog shops as it pleases, for ElizabetI
City, though every citizen in the place b
opposed to them. Verify, this is progressin
backwards with a vengeance. Let the ty
r@anical repeal law be reasaled forthwith !

The Eastern war.

Since our last issue, stirring accounts have
been received Of ~sanguinary battles between
the allied powers and the Russians. On the
Goth October there was a bloody engagement,
which closed with a hand to hand engage
ment, the English and French losing six or
eight hundred men. On the 25th the Rus
slams attacked the Turkish and English po-
%sitions, by which 400 British Infantry and
600 British cavalry, together with 300 horses
were killed.
By the Baltic, which arrived on the 26th,
we learn there has been incessant and san.
culinary fighting since previous advices, and
the Allied armies are almost overwatched.-
Urgent requests for reinforcements were sem
to France and England. Fifty Thousand
French troops had been despatched.
On the 4th November there was a sever,
engagement before Sevastopal, and on tn,
5th instant there was a terrible combat al
most hand to hand, during which the Rus
slams made a grand sortie from behind tn
walls. There was a general attack by Men
schikof's whole army. That battle rage
furiously from daybreak till four in the al
~ternoon. The English took some hundre
prisoners, but the Russians stormed sewers
of the Allies batteries and silenced the gun,
In the engagement the Allies lost 5000 mel
The Cars two sons took an active part

at 5000 men. On the Eext morning (6t

A Liberal Proposition.

We make the following offer to Divisions and In
d~ividuals, that will interest themselves in extend
ing the circulation of the Spirit of the Age:
For FIVE neU subscribers we will give a Premium
of 81 so worth of Temperance Pamphlets and
Tracts.
For ten neto subscribers five dollars worth.
For twenty neW do ten do do
For twenty five net0 do fifteen do do
This will give Divisions or individuals an oppor-
tunity of providing themselves with a large amount
of valuable Temperance reading, without cost
which they can distribute gratuitously, or dispose
of at low rates, and thus much good be accomplish
ed. These Premiums will be given for all clubs
furnished between the present time and the frs
of January, 1855; and we hope to find man.
