H. 1 OnMOWP. vA.t Tuesday Mnrch IS5?> KOSSi'TH. We trust our friend, the physician, who consi dered tils word ix powerful remedial agent, will pardon no for ita repeated introduction to hia notice. But we cannot part from a man who was HO late our particular friend—a man who bay thrown away a pearl of surpassing rich ness, in the changing of ou- relations, with out a lew more words. The Dispatch took Kossuth up with the most generous emotions which characterise it. It hailed his deliver ance from Kutnyah with the most unqualified delight—and it anticipated his arrival here with the »incerc#t gratification. It did not ex actly like some of hi* proceedings in the Med iterranean ; but was disposed to pardon some thing to the spirit of freedom ! It wa« disposed to pardon a euper in the uncaged lion, as he muffed the breeze on the deck of an American vessel, which was the soil of freedom! The Dispatch followed its friend to England, and applauded it'ta orations to John Bull, at the sumptuous leasts that sturdy entertainer gave bim. It was, nideed, a little surprised at the viin w iib which the Kossuth doings were con ducted bv the iobersided host, who so seldom does anything except with the most practical and earnest intentions. It did think that entoo- Mymcm (according lo modern slung) had got ten the better of roast beef in England for once. But it conjectured that it was the force of the character of the guest, his ardent devotion to bis country, and his soul-stirring appeals for her and against the Absolutistical governments ol the day. Be that as it may, John Bull did certainly eut a caper quite unusual! When Kossuth came, to America the Dis patch welcomed him most sincerely. It did think the people of Gotham made asses of them selves ; but it wasn't ugoing to blame Kossuth far their faults. Indeed, it does not mean now nor hereafter to blame any body for the faults aud follies of theGolhumites, who are the most faulty aud fooliah people in this great Repub lic. After a little it heard strange rumors about ihe "great Maguirc." It was told, in confidence, that he hud a very great conceit of himself—that he moved about among his fol lowers as a King—that like the madman, in the insane asyluin, who considered himself Prepidenl, he still regarded himself Governor of Hungary—"aye, every inch a Governor !"— and so deported himself. Mind you, not one of our Ariierican-kiud of Governors ; but a Governor of Europe: a King, all but the crown. The Dispatch was grieved at this, and was übout to write to the "Governor"—to re monstrate—to advise him not to take-on so much—to be a pi air man here—to dismiss his retinue—there was no use in being afraid, he was perfectly safe. But his attack on the prin ciples of Washington stopped this intention. — His consequence aud circumstance with his retainers might be overlooked ; but the Dis patch thought this political demonstration quite too serious a matter. The estrangement of its feelings for the "illustrious Hungarian" was hastened by the disgraceful treatment aud in aults oilered to Col. Webb, at the great dinner to Kossuth—which was a violation of every rule of propriety, and a gross outrage ou the freedom of the Press. Kossuth ought not to have permitted it; but ought to have himself left the flail, rather thau countenance, by his staving, the flagrant violation of that freedom for which he pretended to plead ! His reinou atrance—all mild and gentle as it was—was not enough. He should have shown some degree of high-miudedness aud manly generosity, to have been true to the character which had been awarded him. Tc have remained and drunk in the flatteries which were poured out J>y bis adulators, and be not at all disturbed at their rude and illiberal conduct towards Col. W ebb, was enough to sour all the generous aeutiinents entertained for Kossuth. But if this were the case with that exhibition, what *r»u»t we say of that other display when Judge Ddek—a learned aud venerable member of the Mew York Bench—thought it necessary, in •rder to vindicate himself from implication with Kossuth's opinions, to express, iu the most dignified and respectful manner, his dissent from theiu ? The scene is without 'parallel in thiacountrv, for its heedlessness and rudeness We should have looked for better conduct from barbarians than was exhibited by the foolish adulators of Kossuth. Ar.d what did the "il lustrious Hungarian" do? Why, he very gracefully informed the venerable Judge Duck (whose wise and patriotic apeech was cut short before half delivered, by the rude persons present) that he did not coiue there to hear ar guments ! —that he expected hospitality for bis opinion*, ac well as for himself! This arro gance was insufferable. It might bate been tole rated from Nicholas by his retainers-thase who depend on hia smiles, and are unmade altogeth er by his frowns; but from a man like Kossuth,a powerteas exile, indebted for his head to the humanity of foreign governments, aud a guest in this country, it was the greatest piece of im pudence we ever read of! ThejDispatch, from that moment, washed its hands forever of the "great Maguue." From that moment it dated the downfall of Kossuth's reputation. All else had been lost; and now, that which could net, he taken from biiu, it was plain to see, was about to die by his own hands! But Kossuih, not content with his arrogance, his imprudent political crusade against the po licy and principles of this government, must go even further, aud make himself ridiculous. The rocket aould not be content with tbe Mace it had made, it must complete ita history, I and com* down like the stick! And ao it has. When Koaautb returns,his will bean unillumin ed path. He will be subjected to that mortifica tion which must be tbe fruit of the follies esiacted by his friends as well as himself. For those lovers of good living—those retainers of his, there will be a paucity of good eating and liquor* compared with the profuaion that sa luted their incomicg to America! Beginning with politics be elided into tactics—the tactics a/bumbufgery as well as w sr. He commenced oaa»M# for material aid in money and arme; aad thie has been the funniest that ever •as. The Hungarian Bonda—the two dollar muskets and the saddles—have set the whole world, a* far as the news has gone, into a broad giin. The conception and the practise of the scheme, with all its net work of arrange ments, are so supremely ridiculous as to give them an immunity from criticism! All that can be done with them is to laugh at them! If any ' thing were wanting—which there is not—to cop the climax of Kossiyh's follies, it is the last announcement that he expects a revolution in Hungary in July! The famous Lorenzo Dow was in the habit of making announcements a long way ahead. He would, for instance, preach here, and say that this day five years hence, he would, God willing, preach here again! In the interim he would make, per haps, a voyage to England, and travel more than once over the entire of these States; but on the appointed day he would, sure enough, appear here and preach! Kossuth, who is quite as singular in some respects aa Dow, as coolly announoes this revolution! But will he be as true to his promise ? We shall see ! It were most charitable to consider Kossuth mad. That conclusion is much the easiest mode of accounting for the eccentricities of his tragico-comico starring tour through the Union. The wonder is not that one man like him is demented, but that so many others where be has been should have taken leave of their senses. But the whole thing is like the dissolving tableaux of the exhibitor— the scenes vanish, and the spectators will be left wonderiug that they ever for a moment thought them real! For the present, at least, the Dispatch, with this, suspends all in the way of commentary on the great "Maguire," trusting he and all his worshippers may come to their senses before any serious consequences may result to them ! The Consequences of Public Service. The Lord Mayor of Fredericksburg being re elected by a close vote, takes occasion in his paper of Friday to review the canvass through which he hud just come. He commences with a very frank statement of the service he had rendered the ancient town, and then refers to the efforts to turn him out. He found Freder icksburg, nine years ago, asleep, with a dead sea stillness prevailing over the entire popula tion. He was soon elected to the office of Mayor, and at once commenced the support ol those measures which awakened the people and brought them out of the slough of de spond. He may be, he says, in the opinion of some, the fly in the coa-h; he, however, claims only a share of the honor of the improvements that have been effected. For this service he then goes on to show how he was requited at the recent election. He had heard, he said, that all kinds of slander were due to a candi date for oflice; but never before had he, expe rienced it. Brother Semple seems to have suffered not a little from •'cant" and hypociisy —of which there was not long since a very considerable parade in this little village. His private morals were very fully investigated, and he hud the delectable pleasure of not ouly being made to bear his own short-comings ; but became the victim of many slanders which were, he says, "as false as hell!" He comes down like ten thousand of brick upon his slan derers—among whom lie sketches a "man who sought an asylum in the church, as he vainly supposed that he might avert the avenging justice of heaven for tears wrung from the wi dow and the orphan, in withholding that which wus legitimately theirs"—another, of the same church, "who owes an uncancelled debt, that neither the promptings of honor nor honesty can compel him to pay"—and "a smooth-faced hypocrite," who pretended to be his frieud, to betray him. We should think, from this les son, given them by the Lord Mayor, his "slan derers" would likely let him alone. But, then, he is elected, and the harder he was run the more gratifying must have been his election. For instance, the narrow escape from destruction affords a greater amount of delightful reflection than the escape from a ducking! This satisfaction has the Lord Mayor, and to this he adds what he calls "an oasis in this desert of moral desolation," "a rose amidst those thorns, whose fragrance is pleasant to the senses "the approbation of one's conscience, upheld and sustaiued by an eulightened constituency." This is certainly grateful; but when we read the following, which is the couclusion of his whole article, can we refrain from calling him a blessed man? The happiest of public men! in spite of the bit ter war waged against him! "And the ladies, too, prove sunbeams in this moral darkness. Their smiles impart light and cheerfulness. Evidences of their approba tion are seen in the little testimonials of gratu lation which are now before us and around us." NEW YORK LIQUOR BILL. A bill has been introduced into the Legisla tute of New York on the subject ofiutoxicating liquors, which is pretty strong, though, per haps, not so severe as the Maine Law. It pro hibits the selling or giving away of intoxicat ing drinks, except by persons who have exe cuted bouds, with securities, conditioned to respond to all damages resulting therefrom to individuals, or to towns, &c., through pau perism and crime. No debt of lesß than $5 is to be recoverable, if incurred for intoxicating drinks. In an action for damages, it shall be necessary to prove only that the principal in the bond supplied the liquor to the perpetra tor, previous to the offence, on the day of its commission. In case of pauperism, the su pervisor may recover from the supplier a sum sufficient to support the pauper six months; but a tender of $25 before verdict, will release the supplier from farther liability. Adultera tion of wines and liquors ia made punishable by fines. A New Sort or Cocr D'Etat The Co lumbus, Miss., Democrat, in a touching notice of the death of an aged gentleman, whom it etylea one "of the most quiet and unobtrusive citizens," says that "he was afflicted with an affection of tbe heart, and its coup d'etat car ried bim off like a flash of lightning!" Another Mcrder in New Yore Citt.— On Tuesday night a man named Win. Furlong waa found lying dead, covered with bruises and contusions. He had been somewhat un well duriog the day. A man named Patrick Smith waa accused of committing the crime and arrested accordingly. ' Strawberries.—They were eating ripe strawberries in New Orleaas laat Thursday WMk. Bring'em up this way. Virginia Legislature. Monday, March 22. Sewle. The Senate, aoon after assembling, resumed the consideration oi the order of the day, the assessment or tax bill-upon which the entire day'a session was consumed in debate, without making any progress. A bill reducing the amount of stock necessary to be represented at a General Meeting of the James River and Ka nawha Company-and a bijl authorizing the Common Council of the City of Norlulk, to change tbe course of Scott slreet, were among the bills which passed the Senate to-day. House of Delegates. A bill was repoited establishing an indepen dent Bank in the town of Hampton, in the county of Elizabeth City. + Mr. White, of Hanover, introduced a reso lution, the effect of which was to bring be fore the House, the Senate bill on County Or ganization, to be considered prior to the House bill. The resolution after debate, was rejec- The House then resumed the consideration of the House bill on County Organization— and the blank in the bill for the time at which the elections shall be held, was by a decided vote, filled with the fourth Thursday in May ■ext. . On motion of Mr. Wiley, the clause in rela tion to Constables, was so amended as to give them power to transact business in each and all of the districts in a county. Mr. Yerby moved an amendment providing for the election of Commissioners of Wrecks, by the people and counties on the Bay, Poto mac, and Kappahaunock shores. After a long debate, the amendment was rejected—ayes SJ, noes 66. A long debate took place on the subject of the fees to be paid to Magistrates under the new Constitution. A motion was made tq strike from the section relating thereto, the fol lowing clause : "And for taking depositions, for taking and certifying the acknowledgment of any deed or writing, or taking and certifying the privy examination and acknowledgment ol any deed or writing, or taking and certifying the privy examination aud acknowledgment ol a married woman, and for administering and certifying an oath, unless it be the affidavit ol a witness, they may charge, to be paid by the person for whom the service is rendered, at the time it is done, the same fees now allowed by law to a notary public." The motion to strike out the above, was rejected—ayes 34, noes 83. The following clause was then taken lip for consideration: "The Justices ol the Peace shall receive dollars for each day they shall render services in Court and remain mem bers of it during its entire sitting, to be paid out of the county treasury." Motions were severally made to fill the blank wiih sums ranging from $4 down to 12£ cents. The sums of $4, $3, and f2J being rejected, the blank was filled with $2 by the follow ing vote: Aves 86, noes 33. Before concluding action on the bill, the House, at half-past 3 o'clock, adjourned. The Maine Liquor Law.—The discus sions of this law have embruced the question of its constitutionality. One of the writers who advocates the law, has arranged some quota tions from the opinions of certain judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, which, as they have general interest, we copy below: Chief Justice Taney said : If any State deems the retail and internal traffic in ardent spirits injurious to its citizens, I see nothing in the constitution to prevent from regulating and restraining the traffic, or from prohibiting it al together. Mr.Justice McLean said: "No person can introduce into a community malignant diseuses, or any thing which contaminates its morals, or endangers its safety." Mr. Justice Catron said: "If the State has the power of restraint by license to any extent, she has discretionary power to judge of its limit, and may go to the length of prohibiting sales altogether." Mr. Justice Daniel said: " Of imports that are cleared of all control of the government, they are like all other property of the citizens, whether owned by the importer or his vender, or may have been purchased by cargo, pack age, bale, piece, or yard, or by hogsheads, casks, or bottles." In answering the argument that the importer purchases the right to sell when he pays duties to government, Mr. Jus tice Daniel continues to say : No such right is purchased by the importer. He cannot pur chase from the government that of which it could not insure to him a sale, independent ly of the lawaand policy of the State. Mr. Justice Grier said: It is not necessary to array the appalling statistics of misery, pauperism, and crime which have their origin in the use and abuse of ardent spirits. The police power which is exclusively in the States, is alone competent to the correction of these great evils: aud all measures of restraint or prohibition necessary to effect the purpose are within the scope of that authority." !_;©•- Rival Stage Lines—lt is stated that sev. eral very responsible gentlemen of Albemarle have formed a copartnership for the purpose of establish ing lines of stages to run from the Central Rail road to the White Sulphur Springs. Arrangements are in progress for this purpose. A rival line is also to be placed on the Valley Turnpike, from Staunton to Winchester. We have no knowledge of any complaint against the present line beyond Char lottesville. Indeed, the only journey we ever made by it, we were very comfortably transported across the mountains, and for a long distance were ▼ery agreeably entertained by ar. Irish driver, who gave proof that although the sympathy or the an ger of an Irishman will sometimes get beyond his control, he can govern the temper of horses in a masterly manner. Competition is the great pro tector of the public, and however good the present lines may be, it is probable the accommodations for travelers will be all the better for the rivalry. It is very likely that there will be enough for a lively business for the competitors in the increased travel introduced into the valley by the Central Road and other facilities given to the public. J-y Some of the New Orleans papers are making themselves merry over the scenes of the Democra tic Convention at Baton Rouge. There was great excitement upon the taking oi the vote of the body as to the preferred candidate for the Presidency The Crescent reports the following scene between two gentlemen ambitious of nominating the ssme person: Judge Walker—Let usprocccd with our business. 1 nominate tor Presi Mr. Clack, imploringly—Oh, no! Let me do it! Judge Walker—For President, Stephen A. Dou glas, ot Illinois. [Cheers] Mr Click, rushing forward—l have the floor !— Mr. President, have 1 not got the floor » Judge Walker, in a very loud voice — Has the gen tleman a fee ttmpU right to the floor t Mr. Clack, pointing to the floor and looking as fierce as a cock on bis own dunghill—No, air, I have a standing right 1 Then, facing the entire Conven tion, and stretching out his arms, much like a con cert singer, he mad* an effort, as if to shoot off the last bit of voice he had left—Mr. President, 1 have been anticipated, but 1 now nominate to the young democracy of Louisiana, Stephen A.

BP There waa Rain, Hail, Snow and Sleet ia Charleston, Friday. Much injury waa sup posed to be done to fruit treea. local matters. Exa*ihation or Habbold—Alexander Gilliam, the man who was stabbed on Saturday night by Amos R. Harruld, died from the iffects oi his wounds about 9 o'clock Sunday night. On yester day, Harrold, who was arrested Sunday morning, about 2 o'clock, by Capt Jiukina, was brought be fore the Mayor for examination, Messrs. Bcott, Ro binson and Kilby acting as counsel in bis behalf- Doctors Gibson and Clay were first examined, and stated that Gilliam received three wounds, one on the lower part of the abdomen, one on the left side, and a third ou the bad of the shoulder a little above the ai m pits. Either of the A rat two, Dr. G. stated, would have caused his death. Mr. Doswell deposed—l was in the bar-roam of the City Hotel, with several other persons, on Sat urday night. 1 hnd been drinking with Messrs. Hoy, Gilliam and Hairold. Uilliam saug asong and then he proposed a bet to Harrold. They both pulled out money and laid it «n the •ounter, when Mr. Jones made thirn take their money back and put it up. Hai rold seemed to think thai he had not received ail his money back. He and Gilliam then commenced dancing together. Soon alt< r Harrold expressed bimself to the effect that he had not received all of his money back, and told Gil Ham that to satisfy himseli he should like to st» the money of each counted. Harrold tound out that be was short $100. Gilliam, in counting his mi uey. laid down a hundred dollar note, which had been cut in two and tewed together, and Harrold claimed it. Giiliiin said he could take his oath that he had received it from Governor Gregory. Har rold replied that he would not believe him on oath, or something to that effect, when Gilliam struck Harrold, knocking him over; and thin I assisted in parting them. Soon after this first rencontre, Har rold went;towards Gilliam and said to him that he did not think he would have acted in the manner he did, and Gilliam replied that Harrold had brought the difficulty on himself, and thit be (Gilliam) would have struck his own brother under similar circumstances. I then stepped to the Joor to see a friend, when the second rencontre commeuccd.— When 1 saw them, Gilliam was striking Harrold, who was retreating backwards towards the corner of the room. When 1 got up, Mr. Jones had got in between the parties, and Gilliam was raining & chair saying, " 1 am stabbed, and will die in five minuter, let me kill the d d rascal " Mr. Jones had takm the knife out of Harrold's hand. The knife was a spring bladed dirk. Cross-Examined.— Both gentlemen up to the time of the difficulty, appeared to be on the in jst inti mate terms. The first blow was given by Gilliain, which knocked Harrold over. Mr G. was a very powerful man, much stronger than Harrold. Mr. Bethel gave similir testimony concerning the affray which took place between 12 and 1 Sat urday night. Be saw Harrold have a knife in his hand when Gilliam was striking at him in the sec ond encounter, and cried out to Gilliam, "look out, Gilliam, he has a knife in tiis hand." Harrold was then bleeding from a bUw he had received in the face. Harrold observed atter he was knocked down the first time, "Gilliam, you are the last man in the world who 1 thought would have treated me in this mauner." I do not believe that Gilliam would have struck Harrold in the commencement of tlis second light, if Harrold had refrained from using insulting language towards Gillliam. 1 thick the second light commenced white Harrold was complaining of Gilliam's treatment, and had called Gilliam a scoundrel or a rascal. Both of the partit s had been drinking. Cross-examined.—lt Harrold had not used insulting language towards Gilliam, Gilliam would not have weat to Harrold to strike him the second time.— Harrold did not resist at all when Gilliam first struck him. He did not raise his hand until Gilliam had caught hold of him by the threat. Messrs. Roy, Speth, and Jones, all give aim lar testimony to that furniat ed by Doswell and Bethel. They testified to the superior strenght of Giiram. Mr. Speth.inthe course of his statement, recited the fact that before the second light commenced, Harrold said to Gilliam, " you d d scoundrel, 1 can whip you," aud that Gilliam than took off his coat aud run at Harrold. Dr. Clay, and Messrs. Hill, Starke, and True heart, testified as to Gilliam's action towards Har rold in an interview held just before Gilliam a death. Gilliam had been anxious to see Harrold to have the a flair adjusted, aud expressed great regret on hearing that he was in jail. Gilliam sta:ed in the course of tha interview to Harrold, that taking into consideration his (Gilliam s) superior strength, and the manner in wnich he had treatod Harrold, he thought Harrold did right in stabbing him, and that if he had been placed in the tame circum stances he would have done the same thing. The interview was a cordial one. Both parties were deeply affected, expressed their mutual sorrow that the difficulty had occurred, and parted in friend ship. Captain Jinkins stated that he arrested Harrold a little after 2 o'clock Sunday morning. I found him standing in the bar-room of the City Hotel, very much bruised and bloody. He said that two of hia teeth were knocked out, and appeared to be mole than half drunk. There was a small flesh cut on the inner side of Harrold's left knee. Harrold ex pressed his regret at the occurrence of the difficul ty. 1 took a small pen-knife out of fail pocket. Tto dirk-knife with which he stabbed Gilliam, J obtain ed from Mr Jones. R. .Smith and Messrs Hill and Wheeler, testified to the uniform good character and peaceable action of Harrold, and then the examination closed—the Mayor sending Harrold on to a called court, to be held on Monday next He refused bail to Harrold, and committed him to jail to await his further ex amination. Coroner Wicker held an inquest over the body of ihe deceased on yesterday morning, which re suited in the following verdict: that on the evening of Sunday, the 21st day of March, Alexander Gil liam and Amos R. llarrold, being in the bar-room of *>e City Hotel, drinkiug and betting, and in a mutual affray, and while the said Alexander Gil iiarn waa advancing to assault Harrold with his list, and with his coat off, the said Amos R Harrold,' with a knile,while retreating from the said Gilliam, iuflicted upon the body of the said Gilliam three several wounds, which wounds were mortal,and of which wounns the said Gilliam died, at 9 o'clock, Sunday evening. Clay Stust Chaml.—The pulpit 0 f this Church wu occupied on Sunday evening last, by UieJKer.

The following notice of it from the Baltimore American seems to be cor rect and just: Fuller's Computing Telegraph.—This is the name of an apparently very complicated, but in reality a very simple moveable circular tablct,by which very intricate calculations can be made in an instant. — It requires some little attention to enable a person to comprehend its arrangements; but when it is un derstood, it can be used with great facility. The author, Mr. J. E Fuller, is now in this city, and will wait on those who desire to posses* a copy. This ready calculator has been adopted in many of the public offices in Washington, from which place Mr. F. has ju*t returned, with a long list of recom mendations. In London a great number were dis posed of to bankers, merchants, professors in col lege*, and many other persons to whom they pro mised to be useful; and inKew York, Philadelphia, and oiher cities in the United States, a large num ber have been sold. Mr. Fuller will, in a fsw mo ments, explain the simple method by which intri cat3 calculation* are reached, and show its practical working It is no small credit to be able to e»y that this American invention should be patronize.d by the Bank of England, the well-known house ol Rothschild and others. We could enumerate lome of the intricate calculations made by Mr.Fuller, but we prefer to let the public see the facility with which he finds the answers to questions by the aid of his simple tablet, and thus form their own opinion of its utili y and convenience. Fib*.—About i past seven o'clock, last evening, a fire broke out in the third story of Col. S. 8. My ers' tobacco factory, oil 7th street, near the canal.— The whole interior portion oi the building together with its contents of tobacco, machinery and presses, was destroyed by the fiery element. No one can tell how the fire originated. We could not ascer tain the value of the property destroyed, but under stand that Mt. Myers is fully insured. This is one of the most extensive fictories in the city, and the property destroyed by the fire must be worth sev eral thousand dollars. There was no opportunity last evening for obtaining an accurate statemeut of the loss. Sale of Valuable Real Estate.—The large and extensive planing mill, owned by Messrs.
