He took her ia Bhe was washed, dressed and
comforted, and after she was restored to health
and strength, Mr. Sbauttier, with our other kind
American missionary friends, provided her with a
?addle and bridle,clothing, and every comfort she
needed, and ahe again atarted for Kutahia, the
?biding place of poor Kossutb and his untortunate
country men, where ahe arrived safely, after cross?

Tbe year has now expired during which the Sul?

nation or people have as yet offered to take them
out of his hands and carry them away to a coun?

nnhtppy. and will ero long die if they are not set
at liberty Thia is a sad, sad case,- after a!! that
the good, kind hearted Sultan has done to save
them from the knife of the "Austrian Execu?

to take them away to their country, where they
Will be safe. 1 know of no other people who could
?o well do it as the Americans Our Government,
I know, cannot, as it cannot interfere in the dis?
putes and wars of other nations. But why our
citizens do not etre erid'ncr of their sympa'hy for
the poor, unfortunate Kossuth and his faithful fol
lowers, I cannot conceive. After all that the Sul?
tan has done lor them, are they now to die for the
want of Christian friends t A few thousand
dollars would liberate them from their con fine n:?nt,
save them from a alow and painful death, and aet
them at liberty upon "the Land of the Free."
."..r Bhaotfler writes me that none are to be ao
much pitied as those who, to save themselves
from atarvation, "have renounced their religion
forthat of the Turks,' as they also expected to
be at liberty to return to Christianity at the end
of the vi nr, but as that is not the case they have
become desperate.
But, my dear friends, 1 need not dwell on this
?abject to you, as you have yourselves witnessed
all that 1 have in Turkey, of the distress and alllic
tion of your unfortunate countrymen, while you
remained under our root. I sincerely hope, how?
ever, that the time ia not distant when tho hearts
of my rounlr^me i will be open to succor yours?
when Kossuth will be brought to " tho Land of the
Free and the Home of the Brave !"
And now I would recount to you mv own wan
darings since I wrote to you from Washington,
were it necessary , but as 1 know that the public
papers have informed the public of our movements,
it is not necessary that I should. I am now stay?

where I resided during my married lifo, and where
my son was bom. Me, with Mrs Brown and

Id this way we came in a few hours from Wies?
baden to Heidelberg.
The beautiful structures of man s making rise
from tbe Esrtb like a favored growth out of it
Tbey are adopted by Nature The Sun rejoices
to shine on them. The Castle of Heidelberg we
reacted in time to beboid it by a sunset of Amer
ican gorgeousness The rosy atmosphere deep?
ened the expression of the beautiful inward fas
cade which stood again before us ever young and
fresh. Perennial youth is not a fable or a futile
longing it is tue gift of Genius to its handiwork,
and is the touchstone of Art But a work of gen
uiue Art is not only >?ung itself, it makes you
young To revisit it, annihilates time. The in?
tervening years are bridged over by a rainbow.
Through time-rents and vacant casements, the
rich horizontal beams fell with aglow as of celes?
tial giadnsss. From the Urrace, the town be?
neath, with the valley and plain that stretched far
away toward the burning West, lay in a blissful
tranquillity Alas! only to the outward eye,
fascinated by the purple opulence of light. In
this seeming I'aranise the ubiquitous serpent is
at work, Hbil here is neither bliss nor peace. bet
in their stead unrest, misery This magniti *ent
leave-takiii| between San and Earth; thia il?
luminated ferewell; this broad parting look of
love, which lights up the countenance of the re?
sponsive Earth with an intense flush ol beauty?
bow many see it or share it of the tens of thou?
sands there below en whom it falls I In torpid
imbecility, in exasperated couflict, they lie and
writhe there, with senses closed to the heavenly
message This beaut,, which is lor them, they
cannot claim; this munificence of Nature they are
too poor to accept. The few who, b> fortune or
spiritual affoit, possess freedom enough to enjoy,
revel on such spectacles, and in thorn escape
from tbe omnivorous evil around, their imagina?
tions puiged by this transfiguring light. Oan be
a moment they escape, for the ghastly realities
can be but momentarily laid Not as the
evanescent demons of a dream do these come, but
as the abiding terrors that leap upon the awaken?
ing criminal. So begirt arc wo by implacable
hostilities; sell-doomed to have every joy shad
owed In a sorrow, every lovo dogged In a hate, i
every v->ossessioii haunted by a fear.
Dees en ling into the town, wc came upon
' Squads of Prussian soldien. Whenever I meet
these mechanized men, these soul informed ma?
chines, these man shaped irresponsibilities, 1 feel
saddened, humiliated, insulted Plainer than
words they say to me?Speak not, think not, act
not. In their presence I am utterly quenched ?
I feel myself supplanted, and in my place a mus
ket. In their speechless tramp there is some?
thing terrific. This steeled silence controls my
speech?this noiseless movement para izes inv
will.
The European Armies hang on tho Nations a
monstrous Idleness, a universal polluting scab.?
In them arc condensed into one vast blignt the
seven plagues of Egypt, Like tbe " frogs, ' they
"come upon the people, into their houses, their
bed-chambers, their ovens, their kneading
troughs. How this picture fits them in all its
traits. Look at those knots of lounging, dirty sol?
diers; they swarm and buzz over the whole land,
like tbe "lice atd Hies, ' only more befouling than
these. Are they not " sores and Mains ' on the
people?a moral and physical corruption, and a
drain upon their strength' "The fire that ran
along on the ground,' what could realize it more
vividly than the march of armies, smiting like tho
"hail,'' as tbey pass, both man and beast, and
herb and tree ; and eating, like the "locusts," the
fruits of the earth and ?vsjsy green thing. In tbe
crowning plague of "Darkness,' tbe likeness is
the most palpable. Standing armies are the very
fomentors ot darkness. Their office is to propa?
gate Night and make men sleep on. They are
coarse, brutalizing Force, in contrast and con 11 i t
with the subtle, humanizing, liberating power of
the intellect and heart of Man. They are a mil
lion mouthed extinguisher, plied ceaselessly by
. the hand of Despotism to crush out the light so
fast as it jets up They exist to euforce Man's
?a against God s law?to be the jailora of
Thought, the executioners of Freedom.
Profit mad I,ose?The League.
Tho formation ol a Free Trade League
iu our City tor the avowed purpose of pro?
moting the abolition of all Import Duties
whatever anil the substitution of Direct
Taxes therefor, ha* very naturully excited
interest in Ureat Britain. The OUugow
Daily Mail thus speculates thereon :
" Our able New-York correspondent notices a
new organization in the I mted States, for the
purpose of changing the common mode of levying
taxes. At present, the general revenue ot' the
I nion is almost entirely derived from customs
duties. The local expenditure is chiefly raised
by direct taxes. S j long as the Republic depends
for its general revenue on customs duties, free
importations will be impossible. A respectable,
although a smail party in New York, have ex?
pressed a deaire to change the present plan of
meeting tho expenditure. They are chiefly sou
nected with she European commerce, and they
want tree exports and imports As a preliminary
and a proper condition, they want to remodel the
taxation ot the community . The wisdom which
has led them to commerce at the beginning of the
question, instead ol dasking into the middle, rather
augurs well for their ultimate success. The .Ycr
\oik I'.n saaW Pi>tt is the only journal in which,
so far as we nave yet observed, their views aro
clearly defended The Evening Po<t does not
even appear to be a paper ot great commercial
weight; but this party in the States will ulti
mat?ly embrace a large part of the commercial
community. At present, Mr Collins, whose name
is connected with the steamets from New-York,
is the principal promoter of direct taaatioi. Mr
Collins differs in this respect materially frjua !
many o! his contemporaries iu this country. Be
sees, hewever, in his plan the only means of car- .
rying unrestricted commercial intercourse. His '
project is comprehensive and interesting to the !
people of Great Britain, who get littie of their
revenue from the importation 01* UaJtSjd States 1
produce, and could therefore lose only that little, '

Pacific Kallraad-Thc Whitney
To the Editor ../ \ Ke Tribmu
Mr Whitney s plsn for a Railroad to the Pacific
hat been objected to by practical men | and their
objection! may deserve aerioui consideration
Upon hit own clearly expreited and anambigu
out oredicatet, he mty abandon the work when
the brat tOO miles through a comparatively fertile
I country ia accomplished, and, instead of employ?
ing the anticipated surplus fund in prosecuting
I the work through the ?00 tucceeding miles over
an indifferent soil, pronounce it impossible?as
j well be might?and quietly pocket the money ?
Por a demonstration c! this procesa. illustrated by
a suitable diagram, tee American. Railroad Jour?
nal of 3th Nov. last (1)
Fcr the lucceis of a railway enterpriae, it is ne
ceasary that the termini should be points of some
commercial importance. As a general rule, ex?
trusive projects demand the more populous and
wealthy cities to sustain them. The Whitney
project has no corresponding emporium at either
end, and Lake Michigan, the Hastern terminus, is
ire bound several months in the year. (2)
Overcome these difficulties, however, and still
an insurmountable obstacle to the work remains.
The jiroaed* oj mm land cculd not construct it.?
The tale ot public lands cannot be !airly estimated,
for a series of years to ? ..me, at a greater amount
than #:.,00'-i,(h'? a year. This sale is governed by
the natural laws of procreation and the contingen?
cy of immigration trom home and abroad. A fac?
titious snd premature acceleration may increase
this rate for a few consecutive years, bat it mast
inevitably fall back to thia average, which maybe
safely pronounced the maximum. There are st
this time not less than i,">00 miles of railroad pro?
jected through districts of the New States where
public lands are in market, ami immense tracts
are now on sale, not only in the vicinity of sir-h
rsiiroad lines, but upon the shores of navigable
waters j while the rapid extinguishment of Indian
titles, and new surveys, are giving annual and
vast accessions to the choice of the emigrant.
The pioneers, who are the avant couriers of em?
igration, compose but a limited portion of the
whole corps, and it must be principally upon this
description of adventurers that Mr. Whitney's
sales would depend It would, then, be unsafe to
calculate on a larger annual sale than half a mil?
lion ; but allow, it yon please, twice that amount,
ai.d the Road would be some *0 or ICO years in
process of construction.
But upon a icbcme so doubtful?not to say vis?
ionary?it must result that few, very few, of those
hsrCy and intelligent men. who risk every earthly
possession to sesure a home in the wilderness,
would hazard their last dollar (3)
Upon the motives o! Mr. Whitney tho public
have a rit/ht to speculate, for he calls on the nation
to assist him in bis enterprise. Let us be charita
hie. He probably desires to make money?to do
the public some service, and acquire fame as the
successful projector of a magnificent work. Such
motives arc not only not unusual, but in tome de
BN meritorious; and I have seen DO reason to
doubt hia sincerity. But, under the convi tion?
a convict'on derived from facts, and from such ex?
perience aa the nature of my positions admit?
that his project is entirely impracticable, I have
felt it h duty t<> make these suggestions and I
hi I to assure Mr. Whitney that they are made
with no unkind feeling toward him or his numer?
ous friends. As OLD Pioneer.
UreerieiU,, III., Dei. 1800.
Hi marks.
1. Our correspondent U mistaken. When
the first BOO mile* are completed, one-half
the land on each side of tho Road will re?
main unsold. That land can only be sold
to pay the cost of the Road as it advances
further; if it goes no farther, the land is
not sold and Mr. Whitney does not pocket
a cent of its value.
. 2. There is no difficulty about empori?
ums; let the Road he made and they will
appear. At the Eastern terminus it will
have for emporiums St. Louis, New-Or?
leans. ('harleston, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New-York and Huston?all the great cities
of the country. It will connect with them
by means of railroads now built or soon to
be built.
3. This third objection contradicts the
first. If the proceeds of the land cannot
make the Road, there's no danger that Mr.
Whitney w ill pocket much by only making
a piece of it. The 1 Old Pioneer* does not
exactly"conceive thr idea of this enterprise,
it must ditlier from ordinary undertakings
of the kind by being at the same time a
vast scheme of emigration and colonization.
It must offer such advantages to the starv?
ing toilers of Kurope as will induce them
to Hook to the line of the Road in numbers
sufficient to carry it through with rapidity.
The "avant couriers of emigration" will
not do ; the flood of emigration itself must
be turned on, and the Road completed in
from Id to 2.r) years. i . a. o.

to have been done to the various preparations

the measure of its possibilities, in honor of the
double festival of this pleasant season, the bright

Tbe brilliant effect of the shops of Paris, in the
full glory of their holiday display, is proverbial |
and this year has been ushered in with a profusion
ot elegance and luxury in no degree behind the
traditions of its predecessors. And how admira?
ble are these creations of the inventive genius of
Man?these triumphs of Human Labor over the
rigidity of Matter?shaping, molding, purifying
the inert, heavy subltancca which lie around him
and solicit tbe transforming and beautifying ac?
tion of his hand . and achieving, through patient
effort, "and the loDg result of Time,' the miracles
of use, comfort and artistic beauty which measure
the upward march of humanity from the hut of tho
Savage to the palaces of the Nineteenth Century.
? Tbe contrast between the grace and beauty of
these exqnisite products of Art and Industry, so
lavishly provided for the gratification of the Few
and the ignorance, brutality and misery of tbe
Many, which strikes the eye of the looker on at
every instant is this capital of the Old World, is
very painful; but these shadows of the brilliant
picture are relieved by the indications of Progress
everywhere apparent, even iu those spheres
which, at first sight, seem most hopeless. The
summits of the loftiest mountains are first gilded
by tbe rsys of the riling sun; but the world rolls
on its course, and the blessed sunshine visits the
lowliest l aliey s.
A very formidable programme of the reception
at the Liy see on New Year a Day was published
in the Mmnteur of the 30tb. These rei-eptions,
which included the representatives of every
branch of the Government, from the Kmbassador
of foreign powers to tho Hectors of Universities
and the Syndics of the various Industrial Corpo?
rations, began on the evening of the 31s*. Decem?
ber, and were continued OB the 1st January from
11 o'clock A. M. till far into the afternoon , anj
must have been sufficiently fatiguing to the Pres?
ident, whose health, undermined by excesses
which it would be diflicult to enumerate without
shocking the susceptibilities of " ears polite," is
by no means equal to the enormous demands
made upon it every day by tho love of display
and the ?vbaritic tastes of the present occupant
of the Elytte Bonrmttt,
Meantime the subordinate agents of the Go?
vernment j'ush on their schemes of repression as
vigorously as ever. The prosecutions which have
been attempted with a view to discover and pun?
ish the I)x Dft i tnliristrn, whose scandaloua vio?
lence, falling with fisticuffs and cudgelings on all,
without distinction of party, who declined to
shout I trc I EvijH itur, on tho President's return
from Itouen, have been rendered entirely abortive
by the various functionaries, who constitute the
Police snd the Courts, and who, dependent Sole?
ly on the Executive power, are all leagued in tho
service ot the President.
The investigations provoked, from time to time,
by ti e Republican party in the Assembly, with re
gsrd to the treatment of the immense number of
citizens now imprisoned for political offenses,
many of whom have died from tho insalubrity of
the cells, and the icautliciency and unwholesome
ne-ss ol the diet, are invariably stifled. In some
parts ot the country the curfew baa recently been
revived, snd a few days ago tho Prefect of \rd> -
che issued a circular forbidding the admission,
throughout she department, of any journal or pam?
phlet containing the trial of Father Gothland , and
notifying the variouscivu functionaries thaf in fu?
ture am. journals, arri\bag from the rest of tho
country were prohibited!
The various laws against the liberty of the
Press arc enforced with tbe utmost rigor against
the Kei ub.ican journals domiciliary visits, the
abstra< tier, and opening of letters, and tbe arbi?
trary arrest of those who, by a written or a
spoken word, render themselves obnoxious to the
reactionary party, are matters of daily occurrence.
A poor laborer of this city, th- lather of a large
family dependent on his exertions for their daily
breao, was condemned, a few days ago, to four
mi nt! s imprisonment for havingsung a democratic
sin g at a cafe, and cried " rsjSS la rrpubh /ue sisaafi
criiti'/yi' it tocialt!"
The horrible relations of tbe late trial of Father
Gotblsnd. just alluded to, have created a profound
impression throughout the country j it is the fourth
of these frightful dramas in which a priest has
bet i. tbe principal actor, which have occurred
within a few tnontha.
On an old historic site, like that of Paris, every
step reminds one of the Past; the very names
ot the streets bring up old memories, and invoke
the shades of the departed, especially in the
nn.?t am ient cjuarters of the city, where the
rsnios ot Pepin, Cbilderic, Clovis, and Charles
Mattel, carry one irresistibly from the brilliant
metropolis ot the present day back to the old
' rjes when flourished those ancient worthies,
ar.d when ail Paris was contained in the little is?
land on which stsnds Notre Dame, and which is
now but a speck amid the ocean of tnuirtr-r* and
tu fair'?that make up the still growing city The
i.sines o| these old streets are often as quaint as
the half obliterated epitaphs that one finds in
si viert churchyards, and doubtless indicate some
forgotten legend of former days
There is the street of the Dead Tree, of Pepin's
Bow, of Aubry tbe Butcher, of 8t Denis little
Oven, of the Hermit s Well, of the Well that
talks, of the Flying Heart, of the Fishing Cat, of
the Itdant Jesus, ot the Woman without a bead,
of tbe Iron Mill, of the Rosy Children, of tbe
Shivering Woman, of the Great Howler, of the
Little Howler, of the Golden Hand, of the Great
Andirons, of Kvil Words, ol Bad Counsels, of the
White Peacock, of the Five Twenties, of St John's
Bsiitlage, of the old Dovecote, of tbe Abbot with
tbe Sa ord, ol tbe Wooden Shoe, of the Little
Kneading Trough, Ac , and a host of others ob?
jectionable, sometimes on the score of coarseness,
sometimes on that of undue length and complies
tt? n. The city authorities are just now busy in
ibsusing tbe names of many of these streets; it
is to be hoped, however, that the more pictar
esque of these eld names, those which evidently
served to perpetuate some ancient traditions,
a ill be allowed to remain unaltered. The inha?
bitants of Fortntiate Avenue, in the Champs Ely
sees, where Balzac lived, have just obtained per
mission to have the avenue named in future
bat:me Street, ia memory of the illustrious ro?
mancer.

and were compel,cd to make the best of their way
across the Isthmus, with bat little money and no
clothei. except such as they had on when they
left the vesiel bot a day icrune.
We make the following extracts from the atory
of their journeying!
Arriving at the town of San Mateo, the party
were taken be lore the Governor, to whom they
explained their situation, and were quartered, by
hii orders, in the City Hospital. The City was in
a state of great confusion, as the cholera was rag?
ing and tbey every moment expected to be at?
tacked by the forces of General Melendes. Some
of the itreets and many of the principal buildings
were barricaded and fortified, and all seemed to
(eel as they expressed it, " mu.-h? calltenti."
There were not more than a thousand troops all
armed with English muskets. The city contain?
ed about ? ,i'< u inhabitants, mostly Indians. All
the offices and nearly all the trade was in the
bsxds of Spaniards and Mexicans. The city was
sctually taken the day after we left, and the
thatched houses were burned. The Tehuantepec
river runs along one side of the town, and is here
verv shallow.
We arrived at Mauitilan on the UthDecem
ber, about noon. During our last day and night'e
travel, the river was broader and ot considerable
depth, but very abrupt and short in iti turni and
w.i.?in gl. vVSJ lound here an American, Mr.
Saulrine, who took charge of the canoe, hired a
guide, and put ui on the road for the river San
Juan, which emptiei lixty three miles north of
the liiiasa.KHatSSh the aame afternoon We. arrived
at night at the Iowa Of*Jalcipan, fifteen miles, and
the i eat fa] arrived at the city of Acayucan?
two: t\ seven miles. Thti ii a very fine town,
situated oh a rise si tin und from which an excel?
lent view of the surrounding country can be ob?
tained It is a place of about ?,000 inhabitant!;
and iiatownot considerable manufacturing im?
portance. From here we rode nearly all night,
and toward morning halted at a Kancho a abort
diatance from the road. We could not rouse out
the natives, ao wrapped ouraelves in our blanket!,
laid ounelvei on the ground under a ihed, and
slept for a couple of hours as well as the fleas and
the cold wind would permit. In the morning,
(13th) arrived in San Juan, on the San Juan river,
a town of about l.Oi'O inhabitants. The next
day we hired a canoe to carry ui down the river
?o Tlaootalpan. 105 miles, where wo arrived about
noon on the 17th. Thii city ii the finest we had
seen iu the country. There are alio several man
ufactoriea here, and a steam saw-mill.
From the city of Tehauntepec to Chiuatan the
country ia mountainoui, part of the land being
covered with trees and thick underbruah, inter

for milea we would ride through a moat tplendid

Tb me Editor of The Tribune:
The following extract from the Mobile Herald
demonstrates that some portions of the 8outh are
not to be so easily blinded as many of our poli
ncisns may imagine. The cauae of the sudden
attachment to the Union which haa lately raged
ao violently was to every person poaseaaing the
lent common icnie very apparent. It will,
therefore, be gratifying to tbeie patriots to per?
ceive that full credit haa been given to their seif
sacrificing and disinterested movements.
The writer of this communication ia, as he al
waya hopes tobe, earnestly devoted to the Union,
but his love tor it was never governed by the ef?
fect it might have upon the state of bis finances.

To f*# Editor *j Tht IVsssass I
The note of Mr. Dunham in your paper of Sat?
urday, indicates that no explanation is to be ex?
pected of the extraordinary discrepancy between
tbe last Annual Report of the Connecticut Life
Insurance Co. and the advertisement of its Ken?
tucky agent. Indeed, his own statement as to
the assets of the Company at this time is an ad.
mission that no explanation can be given, and
that the statement in tbe Louisville paper is a
misrepresentation and a gross exaggeration of
the resources of the Company. This fact is im?
portant only so far as it affords light as to tbe
matiiicr in which its concerns are managed, and
the integrity or skill of its direction The basf
ness of Life Insurance, when conducted with
prudence and fairness, is beneficial to tbrj commu?
nity, and enables persons ot small incomes to pro?
vide a competency for their families in case of
death | but when carried on with an entire disre?
gard of the rules established by experience, it
causes the moat cruel disappointment, and is pro?
ductive of wide spread and irretrivable ruin to
those who intrust their means to such instito
t '.a
The rules of Life Insurance, founded upon sta?
tistical tables and taw bng experience of Eu?
ropean Companies, are well understood and af?
ford an infallible sstteWtssl by which a judgment
can be formed as to tbe management of any com?
pany, and especially as to the dividends declared.
Taking for example a certain number of policies
of the same age, aud the amount of tbe dividend
will show whether it is managed so as to meet
its etgsgemente or in a way to produce ultimate
insolvency. For ii.iui.i-?, it is estimated thst if
5,'JM persons at Si y? are of age insure upon the
mutual plan/Jstiinual Dividends of 40 per vent. will
make them bankrupt in 30 tears, leaving 2.771
p. th lea unprovided for. With policies of differ*
ent ages a similar result is inevitable, earlier of
later act ordrtg to the ayes and cumber of poli?
cies. Knowing this, I muat confess it was with
great distrust that 1 saw the Connecticut Mitaal
Life Insurance Co declaring lour dividends thst
?atex petit see could justify.
