promising to' marry her after they arrived
here ; By misrepresentations, as is "alleg

named Mary Brandon and that they.were
residing in' the basement of a house on

cause of his desertion and marriage to an-

War in liuropo The Grain Prospect.
; Mr. Reemelin,' in his last letter from
Germany to the New York Eve nin Post,
and which,' by the way, h a very interest
ing one, thus alludes to the present as
pect of Europe and the interest which our
American agricultural people have in the
bread question; Cm. Enq. '
On the whole, then let me state it , as a
general fact, that Western Europe must
purchacc largo quantities of brcadstuffs
from the United , States, Meats will be
plenty next winter. . Public improvements
of every description, require the employ
ment of large massessof laborers; wages
are rising; all of which must contribute to
a large consumption of, breadstuff's. The
governments, too, .find it easier to feed
their subjectsinto submission than to force
them down .when hungry. They fear a
repetition of the ljungry years of '45 and
'46, because they, and all the rich, know
that they rule over a people whose fero
cious disposition towards them needs but
the ignition to produce a frightful mass of
massacres in every hamlet, on every hill,
and in every valley of Europe, .such as
cannot find a counterpage in historjr, , The
bread of Democratic Am eric a is their only
hope in this dark' crisis of their fate. ,
Peel's policy to give to England's . la
bores cheap bread, and thus avoid a rev
olution,; has sunk deep into the heads of
the wiser statesmen of, Europe.., Louis
Napoleon is about' Co follow it. Russia
cannot be a very successful competion in
the grain markets with the United States.
The. conflict with Turkey will last longer
than most people imagine; and for some
time, at least, Russia must maintain large
armies; and that will not only diminish
production it will increase consumption.
All it needs in the United States is an Ad
ministration like Jefferson's, which, gentle
as doves and wise like scipents, tinder
stands to keep for American industry an
open and free pathway in the world's com
merce, and in very few months America
will be tl e Warket where Europe must
buy, in mere sense's than one, its staff of
life. .' ' - v , - " .
And here is another paragraph, which
has interest for many hei-eabouts: " -
Let America prepare for dear wines, be
cause all over Europe that fatal disease,
called "Tranbenkranheit," is spreading.
It consists in a white mildew, that spreads
over the wh ole grape' and completely de
stroys it." It is as inexplicable to vineyard
men as the potato disease to farmers.
Italy and Tyrol are fatally affected by it.
In Germany it is just beginning to make
its appearance. Grapes on trelisses are
worse effected by it than those in vine
yards! No cure has yet been found, and
it is spreading all over grape -growing' Eu
rope. ' The papers are "full of proposed
remedies, but none give permanent relief.
Political economists stand aghast at a fu
ture1 in which there is to be neither wine
for the rich, nor potatoes for the poor.

Interview with Koszta. '
A correspondent of the Boston Traveler;
writing from Smvran, under date of
August the 23th, "gives thef6ll&wing in
teresting account of an interview witEthe
Hungarian refugee, Koszta: , "
Koszta is now in . confinement in the
French hospital in this city, where,' by
pushing my way boldly in, in company
wiui it menu, x ooiaineu an liucrview
with him. An old gray rheaded Turk,
who stood guard at the entrance, produc
ed a key, most ponderous in size, from his
highly ornamented -waistcoat, and, un
locking the door, . ushered us to i Mons.
Koszta's apartment. ; ' '
Mr. Koszta received us very cordially,
and entertained us for an hour or more
recitinS the events connected with his cap
ture", and the 'part he took in the late Hun
garian revolution. He held the rank of
Captuin in the Hungarian army, and was
under the immediate command of Gen. '
Bern, arid he told me he had been in active
service in more than twenty-five battles. ;
About ; the time Kossuth was released
from- his confinement, Koszta was likewise
allowed his freedom,' and embarked for
America, where he passed a little more
than a year, spending most of-his timein
Boston and New York. While there, he
signified his intention of becoming a citi
zen of the United States'; and took all the
necessary steps for his naturalization.
Had it not been for this wise move
ment,' he; would, probably ere now be in
carcerated in an Austrain' dungeon, or
have terminated his earthly career on the
scaffold. He is enthusiastic , when , he
speaks of America; he feels that he. owe
his life to her interposition, and longs for
liberty1 that he may return" to her shores.'
The Austrains here feel very sore to
ward all Americans, in that their prey
was wrested from them in so summary a
manner." ' ' . '.''' ' " "
