Kossuth and Hungary.—Tho Ronton Com
monwealth, in noticing tho ehnrgo that Kossuth-
i* living at his oaso, in London, on tho money
given for tho Hungarian chuho in America, makes
tho following statement, whioh is presumed to
be oorreet:
Wo take this opportunity of stating, from pos-
itive knowlodgo, that of tho 800,000 or 8100,-
000 whioh Kossuth oollle^tod in this country,
hardly a dollar crossed" the Atlantic with him.
Ho oxpondod it in this oountrv in purchasing
and making munitions of war, ny tho manufac-
ture of which ho gave cmplnyinnot to a large
number of bis doslitutc countrymen. Ho had
for months nearly a hundred of them employed
in miildng cartridges olono. Ho expended it
■also in carrying on a moRt cxUxaivc ami cosily
corrospoinlcnco with his ngontin Europe, trans-
mitting, of course, hid lot tors bv private mossen-
gera, who went at tho risk of tnoir livo.-i,and had
to bo paid proportionally, turl who, of course,
had to be amply furnished with money for emer-
gencies. Every letter which Kossuth sent to
Hungary cost him, on an average, MOO.—
Tho money that he raised here was, of course,
easily absorbed by thceo expenditures, anil with
it, aa wo know, was spent a eotisiiloraMe. sum
belonging to his wife, whith her relatives in
Hungary sent to her for her.own use, but which
she gttvo to her husband for his cause. Kossuth
left America penniless and in debt,as in 1840 he
loft Hungary, after two years' administration of
tho treasury of that rich kingdom.

The Late Canvass—its se^uenti.
After all tho turmoil and dirt of tbo Canvass
havo subsided and settlod, at last, very fairly and
squarely, it comes out of our anuiont friends the
Whigs, that our Frank Pierce, is a right docont
fellow; elever as a gentleman, in tho Amorican ac-
ceptation of tho term; clover as an intellectual man
in tho English acceptation; and that notwithstan-
ding all tho foul words with which they havo bo-
sputtnrod him, ho is quito passable, and they really
think well of him. Faeotious fellows aro they not?
—with very latitudinous margin for tho regulation
of their gentlemanly principles of action and speech?
Well! aftor all, it is cowfortublo to be praisod, at
any timo, and wo do not know, but praiso from a
vanquished foo is to bo esteemed double praise,
considering that after a man has beon well thrash-
ed, it might bo ostoomod difficult for him to ac-
knowledge tho roal merits of his conquoror.
After all too, thero is somo fun in tho outcomo
of a long contested political tight. The more mag-
nanimous portion of the defeated, gonerally feel
humorous, or, if they do not, at least concoivo it
good policy to feign it, and there is no end to the
pleasant articles which they indite in relation to
their inevitable trip to Salt Iiivor,
Of both of these germinations of the Canvass,wo
have collcctcd a few specimens; tho first to reas-
suro such of our feiouds as might have been indu-
ced to doubt by tho hard swearing of the enemy,
whether Frank Picroe were not really, rather a
shabby follow; and tho last to prove that there is
really somegoud humor remaining amongtho whigs
which an observer of their late fcrocity in assail-
ing character,might have doubted.
Undor an article bonded "Whig Jollification,
presenting that woll known cut of former contests
representing threo coons upon stumps, with music
book, cymbals and Claironot, and two in the cen-
tro dancing, comes tho following artielo in the Ar
kansas Whig.

ceded that General Srorr hax curried four .States;
and over this wo are disposed to rejoieo, and call
upon our Whig friends, (we would invite our loco-
foco friends to join us, but foaring tho disastrous
eou!-0(|uonecs of excossive rejoicing, we believe we
shall confine the invitation to our own circle,) to

A wandering Pig.
When at Bonham, a few wooke sinco, wo Baw
somo wagons of immigrants,fromBloomfleld.Kon
tuaky. As thoso wagons came on tho public
squaro, by the side of tho horses uttachod tJ one,
came trottiug along, side by sldo, a dog, and a
pig,and when tho drivers of tho wagon stopped to
rost and uiako inquiries, both dog and pig lay
down iu somo shavings by a storo door,whero car-
penters work was going on, and took a nap of
sleep. The peculiarity of tho association soon
drew attention, and tho inquirors learned—that
whon tho wngon started from Bloomfiold, very un
expoctodly the pig started alBo, and had followed
ovor since,tho sovoral hundrod miles travelled ,sido
by sldo with the dog. They had beon at ono timo
in n company of 80 wagons,and had cotuo up with
and passed several companies, but the pig
was always at the right placo, and roquirod no
looking after. So unusual a charaotor was worthy
of notice, and wo thoroforo noticed him particular
ly. Ho was about sir. or oight months old, weigh-
ed perhaps GO or 70, was part Berkshire,and look
ed vary much like any other pig of that sizo und
brood, except for his ways, whioh wcro intelligent.
Whon tho wngon stopped, he seemed determin-
ed to sloop awhile, and the attoution paid
to him, touching hira with tho foot etc., did not
divort him from his object; infuct,he had tho ways
of a gontlo dog. Of course,on such a trip.keoping
up with the rate of horse travel, ho could not got
vory fat, but ho had not fallen away in consc-
quonco of his unusual oxortiou. All in all,ho was
certainly "a character," and deserves to bo eared
for, and uot suffered to go tho way of all hogs,un-
til his lifo shall terminate from the natural woar-
ing out of his vitality

Ouano difficulty.
There has boon a misunderstanding of late,in re-
lation to the proprietorship of the l,«dios inlands
off the coast of Peru,from which Guano i* derived.
Acting under the a Ivico of Mr. Webster, who was
evidently in error, some Northern shipowners sent
vessels to take Guiiuo, disregardful of the exactions
of the Peruvian Government. That Government
however, prepared to defend its ownership, and
lator advices from Mr. Webster warned the ship-
pers of the illegality of their intention. The mat-
ter however, is likely to terminate most amicably
as will lm seen by the following;—

Our Table.
To tho publishers, IIarpih & Bitos. wo aro in
dobtod for copios of "Tho Mother at Home, and
Tho Child at Ilomo," by .J. S. C. Abbott, au-
thor of "Josephine," Mario Antoinette." "Napo-
leon etc. The contributions of this author, to the
literature of tho time, aro woll known, and wide
ly appreciated, as of genial influence. Tho pre-
sent works Tho Mothor at Home or Principles of
Maternal duty familiarly illustrated, and the
Child at Home or principles of Filial duty famil-
iarly illustrated, aro counterparts, and vory ap-
propriate companions for a family library. They
aro boautifully got up, in tho host stylo of The
Harpers,illustrated with ologaut wood cuts, in the
stylo which has made tho New Monthly Maga-
zine of the samo publishers, so acceptable to read,
ers generally. These books like all of Abbott's,
aro guides to the best moral principles, most in-
teresting, at the same time that they aro most in-
structive. They aro bound in cloth vory neatly.
Tho popularity and usefulness of tho works may bo
inferred from tho fact that these have already
boon translated and republished in sovoral differ-
out languages. Tho present edition, which has
boon lately issued, has been revised and tho works
added to by tho author. Wo feel that wo do
well, in commending these works to overy social
circle in which children aro growing up. They
may bo procured of tho publishers, Harper &
Brothers, New York, or of J. 13. Stool, CO Camp
St. Now Orleans.
From tho Ari't.EToNwe have, got up in tho usual
oxcellent stylo of tho publishers—"A stop from
tho New World to tho Old, and back ngaiu, with
thoughts on the good and evil in both," by llonry
P. Tappan, in two volumes.
These volumes aro nnulo up of the observations
and reflections of an American gentleman visiting
Europe with his family. There is a plainness and
distinctness of description which bring tho objects
to the mind of tli" reader, and tho reflections aro
those of a sensible gentlemen with a taste for the
beautiful and nn appreciation of tho historically
rich and grand. Without being at all fanciful, or
eloquent,or very learned himself, the author, by
visiting almost all places of note in tho Countries
be travelled .through, and by describing them
calmly and soberly, referring baek to historic
associations and historic facts,and making compar
isonof the state of oxistcnce and of government in
tho old world and tho now, has put together a
couple of volumes, which if not fascinating are
readable, and instructive. We have looked over
them and road a few pages here and tliore to esti-
mate tho value of tho work, and having done so
shall make a point to road them through deliber-
ately, because we aro sat is llol thatthoy will ox-
tend our fund of knowlodgo of parts of Europe,
interesting to every intelligent American. May

Thoso eases wcro removed to Lowndes, on u

Tho case of assault was tried and the trial exci-

There bus arrived at Indirr.ola within
tho past week or two, upwards of two hun-
dred emigrants, chiefly from Alabama, Geor-

negroes, &e.,ready to go at once to work on our
fino soil. Tho emigration through Galveston is
said to bo in lr.rgor amount thistlian during any

border oftho State, the number flowing in far
exceeds all former example. Well, wo are

The Sacramento, Uninn, relates the following
singular affair upon the authority of a gentleman
who witnessed the affair;
It appears that on Wednesday evening last,a
couple of individuals mot at a public house in
tho little town of Martinez, opposite licnicia.lo
renew old acquintancc by an interchange of the
glass, of whoso contents they indulged liberally,
and became intoxicated. During tbo evening
ono of the boon companions, named Taylor,pla-
ced a bottle on his own head,and bantered his
companion, a man named Smith, to shoot it off
Smith was unwilling to tun the risk of so dan
gcrous nn experiment, aud declined to hazard
it. Taylor insisted on the trial and at the same
timo stigmazing Smith as a di mned coward and
threatening to shoot him if lie declined. Ac-
cepting of the only alternative to secure his
safety, ho drew his pistol, fired, and shattered
the bottle into a hundred pieces. The coneus
sion was so severe as to tear n portion of tho scald
from Taylor's head, and leave him a bleeding
victim of his own folly. Either from terror, to
avoid the officers of justice, or bceause ho had
no business to detain him longer in Martinez,
Smith immediately crossed to Bcnicia,where he
was seized with a fit of apoplexy,and remained
sufferer during tho night.
These men were from Tcxas.whorc thoy had
served as rangers, and tho nncedotc which wo
havo related is a striking illustration of tho dare
devil exploits which many of them havo been
known to perform.

Wo take pleasure in suggesting tho name of

cently a member of tho Sonato in our Stato Leg-

station ho has filled; and wherever known ho has
loft a favorable and enduring impress. IIo would
make a Governor of which tho Stato might bo
justly proud.
Col. Ward is no office-seeker. Whon ho eonson
tod last year to booomc a candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor, it was oulv upon tho urgent solici-
tations of his friends to allow them to uso his namo,
and with tho express understanding that his bus-
ness would not justify him to canvass any portion
of tho Stato. Though remaining at homo, ho re-
ceived a vory complimentary vote; and would un-
doubtedly havo succeeded could lie have mixed
with tho'people. Should ho become tho democrat
ic candidate for Governor, wo bcliovo he would ac
copt tho nominalion and canvass tho State thor-
oughly, to his and tho party's triumphant success.
