Hit Important Newt from Hungary?Hie Effect of
the Capture of Raab in Vienna, +c., jrc.
Important news has reached this city, to-day,
from the seat of war in Hungary, to this effect i
that either General Aulich has entered Raab,
VUl ujcxiurinau (JUIIUVH, WI ? <?* n*io JUIUV
piece of service has been effected by General
Klapka, the Hungarian commander of Comoro, a
fortress some twenty miles distant from llaab.
Several effective ealhes hive lately been made by
this same Klapka. The effect of this news at
rreaburg and Vienna was astounding, and the Austrian
party ut both cities even feared that the Mag- <
yarn would not btop short ot their own very walls.
By looking at the map, it will be seen that this
aflair must have taken place ou the line of communication
between Haynau and his lines of ope^
rations, and, as vast quantity of provisions have
been captured by the Magyars, either in Raab, or
going down the Danube, at a point near this city,
it will be clear that this is part of the commissariat
of the Austrian General. Now, as the country
which he has travelled over, on his way to his pre
sent quarters, nearSzegedin, is almost destitute of
provisions of any sort, and, moreover, ill supplied
wyh water, should he be thus cut off by a force in
the rear, without being able soon to strike a decisive
hlolr, his condition will be bud indeed.
Moreover, if defeated at Szcgedin or Grosswardem,
his chances ot fulling back upon Vienna will
be somewhat, but not much, better than those
which iVis French had on returning from Moscow.
. Yhe landstium will cut his army to pieces. Gen.
Haynau has a heavy piece of work on his hands at
this ihoir.pnt.
When the news of the capture of Raab reached
Vienna, the standing garrison of that place was
ordered out, and a telegraphic deepiich sent off to
Olmutz, for the garrison <>f the latter city to repair
instantly to Vienna. This is significant of disastrous
intelligence. It is said the Vienniese soldiery
have no stomach to march eastward, and as they
pasted through the streets, they were heard to
take leave ol their friends, saying?" F*rewell;
we are going to certain death." One regiment of
chasseurs >s snoken ol as having declared on the
preceding nignt (the 4th), that they would not go
to Hungary, until assured by the Emperor that they
would not lie sent into any dangerous afl'ray. This
l?, of couiae, an exaggeration ; but there is no
doubt that the couruge ot the Austrian troops has
been greatly cooled down by the late reverses of
their cotpiadas.
A correspondent of the K'dncr Zntung, writes
from Vienna, with Ha'es of the 5ih, stating that
groups of soldiers and otlieers had arrived in that
city, and aiso in Preshurg, without hats, covered
with dust, and running away from the direction of
Baah. These had brought with them accounts
that "the Magyar force that hud taken Raab consisted
of 10,000 men, and their impression was that
it w as the garrison of Connirn.
With regard to the operations In Transylvania
there is no certainty in the reports. One which
we have seen states that Percr.'l was beaten by an
Austro-Kussian army ; hut that B*m was afterwards
sent ta engage this force, and succeeded in
almost destroying it; the result having tv-en 10,000
men hort de combat 9a the field, and 8,(ji00 prisoners.
Tliis rumor is from a letter by way of Constantinople.

news m the pajwrs. 1 have only sent you

of either the London or Paris journals.

The reactionary feeling in France has nearly
reached its climax, and men talk openly of an em- |

told will take place on the 13th of the present
month. The Prince- President has just finished a 1
tour of conciliation, nud, in all parts (so say the 1
French papers) he has been met wiih enthusiasm. 1
The Assembly is now prorogued?the power ot the
executive is at this moment almost uulimitt d, as
he can, by the Lite law, declare the state of siege
nt any moment; and, by another beautiful billju.-t
passed, the press is no longer tree.
The French republic must fall. But does it fall
by the sentiment of the iicople! No The French
have been most treacherously dealt with, and to j
eflect th'ir betrayal, every means have been etn- '

The prevailing epidemic that broke out here a
week auo to-dav. has somewhat startled the neiv
pie who reside on the lower dock, where it first
made its appearance, and has since been confined
to that portion of the village; and, as I said before,
the only cause of its spreading so rapidly, is attributed
to the using of lbs water from a well on the
dock^which was apparently stagnant, and of course
impure. The authorities should take immediate
measures to have this well closed up, but as yet
they have done nothing to prevent the use of
this water. Although I apprehend none of the
citizens will use any more of it, yet strangers
might drink it without knowing anything of its
impurities. The population of Sing .Sing is about
2,600, the greater portion of whom reside on the
hill, where no cases have been known. The number
of inhabitants in that section of the village
where all the cases and deaths have occurred, will
not exceed 130; and the whole number of cases,
up to this morning, is twenty-four, and fifteen of I
them have proved fatal, winch still leaves nine
cases, who are all getting better, and will probably j
recover in a few days. No further danger is now
apprehended.
During two or three days after the first death by
tile cholera, the merchants and families residing
upon the lower dock became so much alarmed, that
they closed their stores, shut up their houses, and :
put for the country, to esca|>e trie dreadtul scourge
that was sweeping oil'their neighbors all around
tliem. Among the number who fled to the interior
of this county, was Wdlett Acker, a grocer from
the dock, and Mrs. Mangham, who were both
seized with the epidemic soon after their departure
from the village, and in a few hours they both expired.
Thus, they left their homes to escape the
tioriible disease that surrounded tlieui, hut, alas!
they were toon hurried to their graves. For three 1
dH>spa>t, the steamboat landing has presented a
dimial appearance, and business, the whole length
of the doek, lias been ?itirely suspended. However.
it is expected that the cholera will all disap- ,
pear by ihe middle of next week, when the mtr- .
chants will resume their business again.
I yesterday visited one of the most extensive
manufactories of its kind in the United Slates,
which is known as the "Croton File Works." j
Ibis factory was established some three years
since, by John Russell, Fs?i , who is the sole owner,
and is now considered one of our most enterprising
men in ihe manufacturing business. He is a mm
with a noble heart, and from the good feeling he
exhibits toward his operatives, has won for hini the
esteem of all who know him The various shops,
machinery, etc., that are connected with these hie
w orks, are nil situated on the hank of an immense
stream of w ater, and wilhiu a few feet of the great \
arch of the Croton Auueduct. I will now glance
at ihe difierent shops w here millions of taper liles
are tnaiiulaetured in the course of a year. The
fir.-t one is where a file is commenced to he in ide,
which is termed the " forging shop;" this has eight
toiges, wiin !<>ur 10 mi men in cacn. iur ne.vi is
called the "annealing shop," where they are annealed
and taken to another one to be ground ;
here there are eleven run of a,one, all turned at
tin Mime tune by steam i>ovver; thence they are
tent to the "cutting shops," where they are first
nicked on the edges, und then pissed over to
othtrsto cut them on the sides : this part of the
work is hII done by females of different ages, i
1 hey are then stamped by hove, and afterwards
sent to the " hardening shop," to be hardened ;
after this they are tried as to the hardaess, or rattier
to pass inspection Irom those employed to see
it they a'e all hard Hnd good: then they are finished
off and cleaned, when they are ready to be done
up in packages, labelled, and packed. After these
various labors are at an end, thev are stopped in
large quantities to the city of New York, where
A1 r Kussell has an agent, who attends to the sals
of them. The number employed at this extensive
file cutting establishment is from oue to two
hundred mules and females, who h tve constant
woik the ve?r round. There are upwards of 22,ix)0
of these files made here in a week, and in cutting
tb? in it is estimated that a hoy nukes tih,12i>
stiokcs in a day. The buildings cover front two
to three acres of ground, antf cost near $.10.0 s).
Tins vast Hi.ct complicate d establi Imient is c irro d
on by both steam and water power, and is not only
a treat credit to the Village, but ts the means of
giving steady employment to inanv of the villagers,
vi ho would, u uhoiit it, become a burthen to the
plat e. and finally an expense to the county. There
ate a great m.my copies of th?* Xrio York Hrm'<t
taken daily by the emplovees of this establishment;
and in pissing through the various slio.m I noticed
the iJt'ofrf a numbs r of times, lyiug near many of
the work men.
In visiting the State Prison, I did not hive tin|
leasuie of seeing the agent or w irdertt as they
mere bmh absent, but 1 was politely shown all
thiol ^h the male prison by the architect, Mr. Lent,
(who has la in connected with this institution for
nearly a quarter of a century.) The convicts are
nmstkably healthy, and the cell-, hills, shops,
\c., are all in an excellent and clean condition.
L'nic iwptofusely used in every nook and corner
of tin! pnsons, both node and fenule ; whitew-Mslieis,

My last letter to the Herald wai dated at CharlesBton,
the 3d inst. Since that time I have been
journeying in the upper section at this State, and
and spending my time among the planters of this
region.
1 armed in Greenville on the 18th. Without
any exception, it is the prettiest southern village I
have yet seen, and were it not for the absence of
the usual quantity of steeples, one could very
easily fancy himself in a northern town of a
similar size. It is the Court House town of the
district, and of course has the usual Court House.
As all these court houses are evidently built after
the same model, I will describe one. It is a large
two story building, built of brick, with two columns
in front. The ascent to the second story is
by two circular stairs from the outside. Here is
the court room. The first floor, or the basement,
is occupied by the offices of the sheriff", clerk, commissioners,
and other officers of the county.
The census of this district was taken a few days
since, and it was found to contain a population of
13,552 white Inhabitants, being an increase of over
since the last census. The town itself contains
1,-tOO inhabitants. It is laid out very prettily,
the streets are named, and cross each other in city
fashion. Almost every dwelling, and there are
300 in the place, has a flower garden attached to
it. I suppose there is no town in this State that
has increased more rapidly than Greenville. Iii
1815, it contained but three or four log houses, and
the region belonged to Col. Alston, lie sold it
that year to a very enterprising man residing in
the mountains of North Carolina, of the name of
McBee, who did not, however, consider it worth
his while to move here until ISIHi. It began to increase
rapidly in 182<), and has kept increasing up
to the present time. It has been a court house
town since the revolution. Until 1824 (when the
present caurt house was erected) the court held
their sessions in < place built on four spiles, with
poles laid across, for the judges to walk and sit
.-it upon. For many years ptst, or since 1804, the
low country people have crowded up to this spot,
which was a taehioanUe resort iii the summer season;
carriages wave rolling about the forests, as
though it was a city, and every lot; hut for miles
round was put in requisition. Tlmre are now
several well kept hotels The Mansion House,
wheie I em residing, is a very large mid commodious
brick building, belonging to Col. Coleman,
and is kept in good style by Mr. Uurbeok, formerly
a Charleston merchant. His house is the principal
resort of the fashionables from the sea
districts. Like most ot these up country towns,
the water privileges are unsurpassed, and t he popu
lanon ik luimnti nit attention iu mnniiitctone*,
though here they have just commenced. The
Saluda river runs wiihin five miles wl this town,
and through the town passes a considerable
stream, called Keedy river. It has four falls within
a very ehort distance. It runs over ? bed of
solid rocks; a strong stone and iron bridge has
been erected for foot passengers, but none for carriages
and vehicles, as the water Is very rarely so
high that the stream cannot be forded A handled
yards below the ford is the (xr?t fall, of forty
fret, almost j<erpendicular. Nature had origin illy
m dr her arrangements that the Waters of Ifeedy
river should tumble over these rocks; but Mr.
Mclkf, the proprietor, lins altered the plan, anil
conducted it by a mill race through three large
waier w heels, w hich move, n'ght and day the in tehinerv
of two large flour mills, a few feet from
the (alls, which are dry. Thetie nulls have six
paint of stones, which grind about forty barrsl* of
flour per day and ten thousuud bushels of corn
annually. The |H*ncil of an arti-t only can do
justice to the view opt>osite the mills, oelow the
falls. The combination of old forest trees, tremendous
rocks, watvr wheels, mills, and inaguiheence
in general, can't he beut^ A few y.uds
below is a second fall; here there is nothing but a
saw.mill and a forge, where there inigki be a large
co'ton fuctory; below thrra is a third fill, wh-re
is a factory and paper mill, belonging to Mr.
&li Bee. Tney spin in the factory about a bale ef
cotton per day, with l?fc! spindles, but don't weave
any. This spun cotton la done up iu live pound
bundles, and rent off in wagons through the
rouhtiy, and to Tennessee, whi v it is sold for
9(>c. the bundle, or lrtc per lb. This factory had
but mat commenced spinning end card ng wool.
The jiaper mill makes a considerable cpi-trituy "f
writing and wrapping paper, for the home consumption,
but is inaloljr devstrd to miking pa;>er

we stated i n Wednesday, tho City Inspector
gave orders to have the dung heaps removed, and the
owners anticipating him, had boats and were on the
spot before the men and boats employed by the Hoard
of Health, sod the latter could not tlnd a place, or raid
they could not. On being further urged to thoir duty
since, tbey were met by threats from the owners, one
of whom said that bis dead body should be walked over
b< fi re lie allowed the authorities to touch hts manure.
The result ot the intimidation was that no m*n (at
least so it is stated) could be got to assist in the removal.
It is. however, shrewdly suspected that the
men employed are men who are usually in the employ,
nn *t of the owners ot the manure. There are uiany
hungry idle uien in other parts of the city would be
very glad to pet suoli a job But where were the police
foiue that such intimidation and defiance of all
authority conld be carried ou in the face of day ? Surely
they could, at a 1 events arrest those who up to yesteidsy
