H 1 KOSSUTH IN WASHINGTON. jj, WASHmaTOir, Dec 30.M Kossoth arrived in the train from Baltimore this morning at 11 o'clock. He was received at the cars by the Senate Committee and py them escorted to Brown's Hotel, where a large arid en thusiastic assemblage of citizens had ennvfrried to welcome him. The national flags of the United States, Hungary, Italy, Turkey and Switzerland bedecked the, portico and upper portion o the hotel. Kossuth immediately after entering the hotel, appeared upon the balcony amid loud cheer ing, bowed to the multitude, and then withdrew to his apartments, where at half-oast II o'clock. he had a private interview with tne Secretary jjof oiaie. At iz o clock, he received a committee appointed to welcome him in the name of the Jackson Association, and delivered in response to the address made in behalf of ilie association; a beautiful speech of 15 minutes duration. ntbe afternoon, be received the visits of numerous members of both Houses, and other distinguished; individuals.

For years past our Institutions have been sub jected to a fiery ordeal. We had just emerged Trom a fierce conflict, during the progress of wbich all the angry passions of our nature we're aroused to the highest pitch, when there arrives a fob HG5EB amongst us, advocating a course of policy for the future direction of our Government, which will necessarily drive as again upon the stormy aea of agitation t Our People wanted peace, oor Republican Institutions demanded quiet, and the patriotic of both great political parties, which have heretofore controlled the destinies of the Country,1 flattered themselves with the belief that the adjustment of the slavery question by Congress, had effectually put down agitation and that the prospect of many years of peace and prospemy was spread out before us. But a new cause of agitation has arisen. It has come upon ns so sud denly and unexpectedly, that even those who are most remote from the Immediate operafibns of that cause, have been overwhelmed with astonishment. It is the very embodiment of folly and madness, to close our eyes to the probable consequences we might with truth say, the necetiary and inert able effects of those movements which are now in progress, throughout the Northern States, to com mit our People and Government, fo the mad and disastrous schemes of a foreigner, who in his zeal to build up the fortunes of his own Country, would have us cast oor destinies and hopes into the raging storm of European commotion and bloodshed. The lovers of agitation at the North, the leaders of all those factions of ultraism, which have so long disturbed and disgraced our Country, the Sewards, Van Bur.'ns, Sumners, Garrisons, Hales, and a host of others, who live and thrive by discord who would infinitely prefer to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven, hail the advent ot Kossuth to our shores, as the dawning of a new era of hope and promise to them and their schemes of fanaticism. Every movement which has been made 10 this great drama of popular enthusiasm arid frenzy tends to demonstrate, that it will be seized upon by the leaders of Abolitionism at the North to build np the sinking fortunes of their Patty. To this complexion it will come at last, however long and vociferously we may shout for ?the great Magyar" and his "down-trodden Hun gary." He may be the impersonal ion of a great principle which we would all wish to promote, but that he and his policy, his presumptions and startling demand upon our Government and Peo ple, are to become the rallying points of all the fanatical ultra isms which have disgraced and dit- turbed one great section of our Country, is too apparent, not to arouse the apprehensions of those who are tired ot commotion and long for domestic peace ! ; 'No man, who has not taken leave of his senses, can fail to see at the first glance, who are to be come the victims of this excitement. If the mad schemes of those who desire to enlist our Gov ernment in a crusade against the Institutions ol knottier continent, should fail of success, should receive the rebuke and condemnation of the Peo pie, still Who are to be the losers in this new and fiery agitation! What is this "foreign em bodiment of universal freedom" but a "Grecian horse from which our domestic Institutions are to be assailed ? If we are plunged into this conflict with the Dynasties of Europe, in defiance of the warning voic of that great and glorious patriot, George VVashisgtos, what section of this Re- ublic will be assailed, with most rancor, bo By enemies at home and from abroad We war t beoce Deace at home peace with foreign na- lions peace with the whole world ! is . r y ''We may be in error,.but we cannot help ex- ftressinff our surprise that fo few members of Congress have been bold enough to speak out and warn their People against the threatening character of the movements to which we have re ferred.

John Kerr, of Caswell, is not only my own choice for Governor, ss decidedly aa f lUtoore is lor fresu dent, but! am persuaded his nomination would be hailed by this region aiore enthusiastically than than that of any man yet spoken ot in that con nection. I say this after taking some pains to as certain the public feeling hereabout, tie pos sesses every recommendation that a Whig, and a North Carolinian, conservative and honest, eould desire. An ardent and fearless debater, hew lof tilv he would bear the National Whig .Standard, through the broken cohorts of our secession De mocracy,' and what a pleasure it would be to.see his keen blade come down mercilessly on the present milk and water occupant of the Guberna torial Cbuir! Let ui remember too that John Kerr, though behind few in point of services, has pursued his noiseless Way hitherto unrewarded. ' VALLEY OF CATAWBA. t RALEIGHj'-N.V 7, CITY OF NEW YORK. A cotemporary well says of this "great Gotham of America," that it "is as excitable as the sea and as fickle as the moon." He might have ad ded, that its idolatry, though ot a different charac ter, is almost equal to that which was displayed by the worshippers of the golden calf of old. Its gods and goddesses "in human shape divine" are mostly from abroad, too ! True, its 'devotion fo( each new comer does not last, very long, securing thereby, "double gladness," but whilst the cauld- ron u boiling, it. reaches intensity. First, is- j iviadame t eleste or some other equally famous : heroine of "the light fantastic toe f then comes Dick eh next Jehnt Lird, and now Kossuth, with here and there, a star "of lesser magnitude," casting La rays around, to keep the heart of adul ation beating, and enthusiasm up to its boiling poit! Each in turn is lauded, applauded, follow ed after, dined; toasted, worshipped, and in turn again,' forgotten' snd neglected, to give, place to some "fresh Arrival" about whom there is more of "racmess snd novelty." If New York could but give tone to public taste and sentiment, throughout this vast Country, what a shouting, huzzaing, banqueting, adulatory, up and down, to and fro, people we should soon become ! But this is not so, and we trust it never will be. It may think, in the midst ot its "rap turous applause" and high pressure excitement, that the whole continent is swinging back and forth, like a pendulum, and that the People to the remotest boundaries of the Republic are dancing like so many puppets, under the magic ward of its enthusiasm ; but it is quite a mistake ! New York has not yet become to tiiib Country, what Paris is to France ! Under the influence of the "wine and patriotic fervor of soul," it may be re collected, at the Municipal Banquet, the whole of Kossuth's "propositions" were passed, and "de mands" granted unanimously ! Are not the noiseless, but ''go ahead" and "sin ews of war-making" formers of the nation, who were diligently pursuing their business, when this important "movement and demonstration ' was made, somewhat alarmed, lest they may be, ere long, handed over to Kossuth to become "a body, guard to Hungary against the encroachments of the Russian Bear?

It contained the estimates for the cur rent year, and announces au estimated deficiency in the public revenue of $219,000, which it will become the duty of Congress to provide for. The President signed the Kossuth resolution, and tle Committee on reception made a report. The committee proposes to receive M. Kossuth precisely in tie same manner the Marquis Lafay ette was received that is, the Chairman of the Committee will introduce him in the.e words : "We present Louis Kossuth 10 the Senate of the United Slates;" thereupon the Senators will rise in their seals, when the President shall invite him to be seated. The report was received and adopted. A communication from the Librarian, enclosing the proceedings of the House of Representatives, respecting the late fire in the public library, wis received. Mr. Cjss moved to amend the House resolution so as to make an appropriation for the purchase of new books ; and also to enquire whe ther any additional measures are necessary to ren der the Capito! fire proof. The whole matter was appropriately referred, and then the Senate ad journed over to" Friday. ' The House did not sit to day. Washisotoh, Dec. 30. The Senate did not sit to day. The House of Representatives, after various objections nd points of order had been raised by certain members, went into Committee of the Whole upon the resolution appointing a Com mittee of Five to introduce Kossuth to the House. The Resolution was debated very earnestly and I at length by members. Messrs. Brooks, Carter, Ingersoll, ' Gentry and iGiddmes, Richardson, Ran tout, earnestly advocated its adoption ; and Messrs. Veuable. Bavlv, Marshall ol Kentucky, Stephens of Geo., and Ewiug, strenously opposed its psssage. Pending the question, the House sdjourned until to morrow. WHIG MEETING IN CRAVEN.

He was actively engaged iu the business of a farmer and merchant, and amongst those who knew him, was remarkable as well for energy, promp titude and fidelity in his intercourse and dealings, as for h spiia ity and public spirit. Though he lived 10 follow to ihe grave, all his daughters, and a number of his. boos, yet it was permitted him to die, in the midst of descendants aod friends, full of years and surrounded by blessings, in the pos session of his mental faculties, and in the enjoy ment of that hope of happiness hereafter, which rests on a firm and unchanging laith in the pro mises of the Redeemer! In all the varied rela tions of life, as parent, husband, neighbor and citizen, he won esteem whilst:living, and uying, has left a pure example to those who survive, enhanced and brightened by those virtues which were illustrated by sixty years of christian piety. He was for that length ol time a member of the Methodist Church.

Distin guished for his integrity and close application to his duties, bis excellent sense and skill as an advocate, rather than for any' brilliant talent vf display, he was a leading counsel in every' cause of importance within his circuit " So lucrative was his practice.that in a few years be found himself possessed of au am ple competence, tie then exchanged ma prolession lor a pursuit more congenial to hts taste, and purcha sed a farm, on which ho has ever since resided, iu die neighborhood of Edenton Farm in ar iu that sectiuu of the State, was, at that time, conducted iu a most uegligeut, slovenly and; unscientific manner. Few of the farmers, rich as their lands were, produ ced more than sufficient for the support of their fam ilies, and a large portion of them were in debt at the end of each year. Mr. Skinner undertook to correct this evil. The skillful and profitable management of his own Farm gradually produced a most favora ble effect in the lucreased improvement of others. He did more ; he took an active part in exhorting, advising and instructing, and, where it was necessary extending pecuniary assistance; It was one of. his most cherished objects, to impress upon the cultiva tors of the soil a proper estimate of the dignity of their station in the scale of society, to rouo their pride and teach them the ennobling nature of their pursuits. His efforts were admirably successful, and are to be seen iu the present highly improved condition of ag riculture iu that beautiful region of country beauti ful beyond any o her in our State which is bordered on the South by the broad anfl sparkling waters of the Albemaile Mr. Skinner also gave the first im pulse to that valuable branch of industry iu that sec tion of the State, the Herring and Shad fisheries. The fisheries had been confined; to the Roanoke and Chowau Rivers, and their tributary streams, and were few in number and of small extent. Mr. Skinner, with his characteristic energy,! first ventured upon the experiment, then (teemed visionary and impracti cable, and launched His seine upon the wide 'and oft vexed' Albemarle itself. His example has been fol lowed, until the northern shore of the sound, sixty miles in length, is literady studded with fisheries, ere atiug a new source of wealth, hnd adding annually hundreds of thousands of dollars to the indus trial products of the couutry, Such a roau may emphatically be styled a great; public beneiactor. Richlydid Mr. Skinner earn the distinction. Deep s'lould be the g at tud j of the public; aud even should his tomb be eucire s 1 by s gai laud of merit, more prec.; ous than the warriors 's UureJ. i A firm and generous friend, liberal and charitable, without ostentation, mild and amiable in his disposi tion, be endeared himself to alt who knew him well, and enjoyed the devoted love of his family. He mar ried in early life Miss Lowther, the great grand daughter of Governor Gabriel Johnson, so distinguish ed in our colonial annals. By her, who died many years siuce, he left au only son and a daughter of a deceased daughter. j L(-0M-J Died, on the 21st inst at his residence near Wood- ville, Bertie eounty,'N. C, Mr;. John T. Ruffin, aged 22 years. He was confined for; several mouths with consumption previous to his death, and bore his af flictions with the -utmost resignation and fortitude. I believe that it is a truthful expression, to say, tbat his death is uuiversaliy regretted by those who knew him. He was possessed of the strictest and most el. evated notions of honor, upon which be always acted ; polite and agreeable manners, aud a nighly social dis position. G. GENERAL AGENCY.
