KOSSTTH,

A letter from Kossuth to Mr.. John Nc
Adam of Glasgow, dated Sept. %, 1859, is
the first word which has been heard By the
public from the great Hungarian since the
peace of Villa Franco. lie returns to Eng
land, he says, ga poor exile as he was four
months ago, only older by ten years from the
bitter pAngs of disappointment" The
mourntul tone in which he adverts to that
event, the peace Of Villafranca. and its effect
on his country's hopes, is very affecting. The
nation, he says. were united. ready, ard re-
solved. as scarcely ever before
"AI the feelings which sometimes bring divis-
ion into a national household-difereuces of reli-
gion, language, race, and distinction Of classes
had melted into one great common res lutiOn-to
get rid of the banditti rule Of the house Of Aus
tria az soon as the war would take its logical ex-
pansion.
And the positive knowledge Of this fact only
adds to the bitter pangs of my disappointment
To be thus stopped at the moment when We were
stretching out our hand to pluck the ripe fruit OF
liberty, is distressing beyond description.
Well. it is as it is, and must be borne. 1t will
be borne undespondingly, though not without
grief. / feel tranquil in my conscience that ]
have done the duty Of an honest man and Of a
good citizen, by not neglecting to try whether OF
not events might be turned, OF a solid basis, to the
profit Of my native land.
He says his nation will never be diverted
from its determination to be Independent.
Neither terrorism nor concession will uproot
that sentiment IN the hearts Of his people.
He believes too that Europe can never be
brought to a settled condition unless the
rights and legitimate claims Of Hungary
are taken into account.

Of the slave power that ever went from a
free state into the L. S. Senate, will walk

a duller doughface than Pugh, but not a
whit better, will be ticketed to keep him
company. Mr.. Buchanan may take warn

But Pugh and Bigler are not all. Mime

General Shields, who drew the short term for
Senator, ending with this year, will not be
reelected. Though a more decent man in
some respects than either Pugh or Bigler, he

THE ARCHITECT OF THE STATE
HOUSE.

In the extended and elaborate description
Of the State House in Walton's Journal, it
is stated that the CENTRE interior" Of the
State House has been finished under the
plans Of j. R. RICHARDS, architect, and such
repeated reference is made to Mr.. Richards,
with bat a single cursory a%llusion to MR.
SILLowAY, as to convey the impression that
the former instead of the latter, is entitled
to the main credit, as architect of the work.
Such an impression, in the opinion Of Mr..
Sideways friends, does him less than jus
tice, and in orler to a correction Of it, in a
measure, We are requested to publish the fol-
lowing certificate of the Master workmen Of
the principal divisions of the labor upon the
Capitol, which appears to be explicit and to
the point. We cheerfIlly give it a place in
our columns.

The NV EyGLAND MowER.-We call the
attention Of our farming friends to the adver-
tisement of this new Mower, which Is to be
exhibited in operation on the farm OF ii. d.
NEWELL, in Charlotte, on Monday next. We
have not examined the machine ourselves
but it is highly recommended. The Bradford
Telegraph says Of it
The superiority of this mower over all others, is
in its simple light construction, adapted TO one
horse. ami yet sufficiently strong for all kinds Of
surfaces and grasses. 1t cuts the grass on the
shear principle, without c~riPpllng it. or becoming
wcdEed by it. By two levers, the one worked by
the foot and the other with the hand, either end of
the cutter may be raised to clear a stone, or the
whole can be raised horizontally, or perpendicular
and driven over stone stumps, and from field to
field without obstruction. Wherever you can get
a horse to @ amid stumps and stones, with the
machine. YOU can there cut the grass With 1t. This
is decidedly the best moving machine we have
ever seen either East or West, and it attracted tbs
attention Of every farmer that saw it

The election of State officers and Judges, to come
off soon in Joint Assembly, is eliciting some in
terest in private circles and local caucusse'. Most
evidently an effort is making to drop Judge Ben
nett. and, perhaps, Judge Redfeld, also. One rea-
son that I have heard, more than others, arises
from the local residence of the JUICES. The south
western Counties want a Judge among them. There
is a FEASIBILITY in this; but l am quite sure that
this is not the chief reason. Principles or known
opinions have something to do in the matter, and,
perhaps personal claims for Office more. II an
ofice-holdsr lacks faithfulness or integrity, here
is a good reason for his removal; but that another
wants his place is a very bad reason; or that some
local section or political compromises and bargains
should demand changes in office, and most espe-
cially in the Office of Judge of the Supreme Court.
is the worst reason Of all. The best interest of the
State REQUIRES a permanent Judiciary. May the

ton by the Board Of two OF three small
cancellations Of the law as it now stands. for
the purpose Of making its adaptation more
perfect in the particulars referred to. We
presume the suggestions Of the Board will
meet vi'A favor in the Legislature. As for
any proposition t. enact any law which
would essentially change the system and lis
operation from what it noA is, if any such
is offered We hope the legislator will set its
face firmly against it. II there are really
