he wasdomiciliated among us. He quotes various
authorities in support of this position Rnd de-
clares that it seems to be established beyond
But allowing that Koszta may have owed a!
legiance to Austria, her officials bad no right,
he contends, to seize him in a foreign neutral
territory. There, he was only responsible to the
Turkish Government for his conduct, and the
Austrian officers who arrested him wera tuilty

Government has made.a formal complaint, while
no complaint .has been made by that Govern-

ment against the limed States for interfering
to rescue him. Mr. Marcy is extremely skepti-
cal about the existence of "those treaties which
.1 . , - I , ,
j subject Austrian subjects in Turkey to consular
j jurisdiction." In fact, he don't believe a word
of the matter, else th;:y would have been more

SIGNIFICANT !
The city of Albany has recently been the i
scene of an immense mass meeting of the Barn-burner-portiou
of New York locofocoism. The
meeting was addressed by Joii.v Van Blre.v in
a speech of great length, in the course of which
he took frequent occasion to eulogize and ap
plaud the course which the Administration
has pursued. In explaining why he took a
stand upon the Baltimore Platform, '"Prince
John" employed the following significant lan
guage :
"In 1852, the Democrats of this State were
represented in tho National Convention at Bal
timore. Resolutions were passed at Balti
more upon the subject of Democratic principles
generally, and slavery in particular. - As'l un
derstood these resolutions, they were an acqui
escence in the measures upon the subject of
slavery, which had been passed by Congress -resolutions
that those measures icere to stand for
the prevent as they were!"
Ye3, and that is the light in which the whole
mongrel crew of Secessionists and Freesoilers,
who placed themselves upon the Platform, re
garded the resolutions'. Agitation was to be
held in abeyance, pot-tpooed, "for the present,"
for the sake of the spoils. So Pierce doubtless
regarded them. And is he not daily showering
the emoluments of office upon those""wAo knew
their man I"
COL. BENTON'S BOOK.
Judging from the latest published specimens
of Col. Benton's forthcoming work, we have
reason to expect, that he will play the Author
in tho same arrogant' egotistical stj'le, which
is the characteristic of his statesmanship.
"The truth of history " is his; and wo to the
wight, who shall question his infallibility !
i mi power is conterred upon the Uovern Such temerity would uo visited witn uia uui-,
lion's choicest anathemas. Yet, we expect from
him a very readable, and, in the main, a fair
book. II is treatment of the great hobby of
it should not be committed to subordinate Jackson Democracy, upon which the party have
ridden into power more than once, does him
great honor. We refer to the charge of " bar
gain and intrigue " between Clay and Adams.
"We were aware, before, that Col. B. had al
ways vindicated the character of those gentle
men from the foul aspersion implied in this
charge. In looking, a few days since, over a
file of the " Richmond Enquirer," for the year
1827, we accidentally fell in with the letter of
Mr. Benton, to which he refers in his work,
and felt surprised that it had net been used by
the friends of Messrs. Adams and Clay as a
standing refutation of the calumny.
We are not sure that his account cf General
Jackson's war with the United States Bank is
equally reliable. A counter-statement has ap
peared, which alleges that the Bank was in
formed, by members of Gen'l Jackson's Cabi,
knet, that, if its Directors would waive their ap
plication for a re-charter, until after the Presi
dential election in 1832, the President would
recommend that measure to Congress. If this
be true, it detracts a good deal from the popu
lar idea of Old Hickory's patriotism. We are
unwilling to believe it ; and the friends of the
Bank, in Congress, acted, as the statement
avers, upon the almost equally unjustifiable
ground 5i refusing to sustain the institution,
unless it immediately made the application for
a re-charter.
It is surprising to think how completely the
politics of that day, which produced such ex
citing contests, have passed away. Mr. Ben
ton has survived the politics of hie earlier
days.
jgy- Col. Walter Gwynk has tendered his
resignation as Chief Engineer of the James
River and Kanawha Canal, with a Yiw to re
moving his residence to North Carolina

SUPERIOR COURT
This Tribunal is still in teuton,' and has di-
p08ed of a large amount of business.
On Wednesday, Samuel Parser Perry was
condemned to be hung on Friday, the 28tb inst.,
for the murder of hU wife. ' Jud Mas LT pr0.
mianced the iUdrmnt nf th Court with iiu-
pressive solemnity and deep feeling, and the
unfortunate prisoner was much agitated during
its delivery. We subjoin the sentence :
" Samuel Perry : Your appeal to the Supreme
Oouri Ot tno state having proved unavailing,

and aims at the prevention of similar crimes.
All hope ot lite should be now dismiss
ed from your mind ; the world, and all that
conecrns it, be cant behind you, and without
farther regard ; and your whole mind and soul
devoted to a preparation for death and eternity.
Your life is now reduced to a few days, and
you have not a moment to lose. Oh ! that vou
would reflect upon the nature of your crime
and dwell upon it with sincere repentance and
remorse. Oh! that you would regret it as it is

command of God, a violation of especial vows
to Him, and destructive of all social and do-
niestic life.
" Let ine beseech you to send for some minis
ter of the Gospel, upon your retirement, and
with him, and in obedience to his instructions,
prepare your soul for its departure from the

to Him unceasingly for mercy. I trust He will

The case of Wilson, charged with the mur
der of his slave, has been continued, on account
of tho absence of important witnesses.
: Judge Manly has presided throughout the
session of the Court with his usual ability and
urbanity, adding to his already high reputation
as a just and impartial dispenser of justice.
We hear, too, on all sides, the greatest satisfac
tion expressed at the efficient manner in which
the Attorney General, Mr. Ransom, ha dis
charged his duties.
THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
W"e have been permitted by the Commission
ers to give to the Public the following ltnter of
acceptance from Dr. E. C. Fisnxa, recently ap
pointed Superintendant of the State Lunatic
Asylum, near this City:
Richmond, Ya., Oct. 1st., 1853.
Gentlemen : A much longer time has elap
sed, than I desired should, before making known
to you the decision I have come to, touching mv
appointment of "Superintendent of the Asy
lum ;" and while I hope the interests of the
Building have not been prejudiced thereby, I
mut crave your indulgence for my too loDg
silence.
Impressed, as I hare been an 1 still am, with
the responsibility of the position, I did not wish
to decide upon an acceptance of it, without full
and seriuus deliberation. With many misgiv
ing of my competency, I have concluded to ae
cept trie appointment, ami desire to say that I
will be in readiness to enter upon the duties of
"Soperintendant'' about the lth of this month.
Should you, however, deem it essential, that
I should be in Raleigh at an earlier day, I will
endeavor to comply with your request, as soon
as it can be made known to me.
Desiring to tender to you the expression of
my, kind thanks for the distinguished consider
tion of, and more than merited confidence in,.
me. by the bestowal of so importtnt a trust to'
my1 hands,

We see, from the Money articles in the
New York papers, that the Bank Agent of the
State-of Alabama, Mr. F. S. Lyon, (who pur
chased the whole of the North Carolina Bonds
just sold,) is about tophange his investment in
the United States Sixes, and will prpbablj sur
render about a half million dollars in the leans
of 1867-8 in a few days. ' Some other Domestic
holders are ' also . selling out at the ' Treasury
IThe " National Democrat," the organ of
the Hunkers in New York, thus walks into the
" Washington Union :"
" The Washington Uniort has become the or
gan of the disorganizing abolition faction. One
of the Editors of the Union has for a long time
been known at the North as a freesoiler ; but
that the other editor, and he a Southern man.
shouidso suddenly lend himself as a pliant tool
of a Northern faction, has excited a surprise, a
sorrow, an iudignation, and a disgust, which
have never been experienced in the history of
the Republic. And the end of all this treachery
and folly is not yet. If the course of the Wash
ington' Union is not repudiated, all honest
friends of the Federal Union, whether in the
North or in the South, will speak out in such
thunder-tonos as will arouse the ear and fire the
heart of the whole American people. There is
a sense of common justice and gratitude resid
ing injthw bosoms of the masses, which, when
tne timp comes, will not be appealed to in vain.
A just cause maybe safely trusted witji the
people. We shall see if the old, well-proved,
undeviating Democracy of New York is to be
broken down for the sake of bringing into power
a band of trading and disorganizing freesoilers
and coalitionists, wi'h have tainted the whole
North with abolition heresies. We shall see if
suchjiuen as DaniC-l S. Dickinson, Judge Bron
son, CharlesO'Coiinor, and the noble party with
which tleyare identified, are to be destroyed for
th; purpuse of bringing into power such men
as Marfin G rover, John Van Buren, and that
whole" gug of disorganizing abolitionists. We
shall setj. The way the Washington Union is
going on will soon force the issue."
rz&" Koszta, it may bo interesting to know,
now that we have heard what the Secretary of
State ha;s to state in his behalf, is confined, or
was on tbe 24th of August last, in the French
Hospital, at Smyrna, guarded, but not rigor -ously,
by an old grey-headed Turk. The walls
of his room are of stone, and his windows are I
covered wita an iron grating. Jlis room is ten ,
eet square, and contains a sofa, or more prop
erly a Turkish divan, coarsely covered, but
very comfortable, nevertheless, several chairs,
did tvj o tables, upon both of which stand vases
of flowers, lately gathered
M. K..ta' la-hfthe rank of Captain in t
aptain in the
Hungarian army, and was under the immediate
command of General Bern, and, tie says, has
been in active service in nioro thau twenty fiye
battle.
Eti The "Richmond Enquirer ' promised a
short time since to exp6se Dix's positiou on the
slavery question. It has not yet done so. Does
Mr. lix present so pure a position that it dare
not touclit? Or does it fear the powers that be ?
FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
By the-.arrival of the steamer Baltic, at New
York, w have accounts from London and Li
verpool to t he 2 1st Ultimo. Our Telegraphic j
report of tho latest news says: (
cuange wnatever naa occurred in the as
pect of tho Eastern question since the sailing
of tho America. The Yienna Conference was
still in session attempting to smooth difficulties.
It was reported that a new modification, concil
iatory both to Russia and Turkey, would be
made, buf it was feared in the mean time that
the.opposing armies might coma into collision.
The Servian Charge d'Affairs had notified the
Porte tha in the event of war Servia would re
main neutral.
Thrf King of Prussia had concluded not to
meet the Emperors of Austria and Russia at
OlmutZ. I
The Paris " Pays" states that the French
Government entertains confident hopes that the
Turkish difficulty will be settled without an ap
peal to ar'tns. The " Patrie" adds that Russia
will not louder any circumstances cuuimeneo
hostilities.'
Tho definite decision of Turkey cannot be
known in' Engl.iud before the first or second
week in October.
Nothing new had occurred in England. The
cholera v;Ss rapidly threading.
At Jjiverpoul, n the. Ist ultimo, cotton was j
as dull as ever, at prices further favoring buy- I
eis. Qualities bdow middling were almost'
unsaleable: llie sales of the third day were
only 12,000 bales, of which speculators took
nothing and exporters 2,.r)00 bales. The market
for breadstuff, however, continued animated,
at a further advance of 3d. on wheat aud Is. per
bbl. on Hour. Corn was in demand at an ad
vance. Tbe quotations are as follows: White
corn 35 a 38s. : white-wheat 9s. 5d. ; red and

latter for choice.
The3atest Telegraphic news from Paris shows
that Austria has assumed an unexpected atti
tude on thd Eastern question. Here is the des
patch : i ,
Paris, September 20, P. M. A telegraphic
despatch from Vienna announces that Austria
had declared that circumstances trill no longer
perm it her to act with the other Powers. Instruc-
tions had been forwarded to M. Ds Brick, the
a .: m:.,:.. .i.i i.
Austrian Minister, to assure the Sultan that he
must accept the first Yienna note without any
modifications.
MINISTER OF FRANCE THE WASHING
TON GLOBE, Ac.
Washington, Oct. 3. I learn, reliably, that
the Hop. John Y. Mason, of Virginia, has ac
cepted 'the appointment of Minister to France,
and will prepare soon to depart on his mission.
It isstateki that tho old Congressional Globe
will become1 a daily paper after the meeting of
Congress, rtpd run a fierce competition with the
papers no;in existence, especially those of the
democratic, torder. It will probably publish
morning and afternoon editions, with all the la
test news. The object is to continue it perma
nently thereafter as a daily democratic journal.
, THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE FAIR.
Pittsburg, Oct. 1. This Fair closed yester
day, andl.it s acknowledged to have been the
fineBt ever held in the State. It is estimated
that fifty thousand strangers were in the city
during its continuance. The weather was fine
throughout, and everybody was delighted.
At Springfield, Mass., a lady sent the follow

Catharine Hayes, the vocalist, who is called

Whereas, it hath pleased Divine Providence

in the midst oil his usefulness:
Resolved, That his professional brethren of
this Bar, now assembled, deem it their duty
publicly and solemnly to express their sense of
their own great loss and that of the public on
this melancholy event, because, the Bar of
the State has boen deprived of one of its bright

bore himself with honor, ability, integrity, and
courtesy ; the country of a liberal and enlight
ened patriot; and societyofan accomplished
gentleman.

be exhibited at Raleigh during the Agricultu
ral Fir.
These ChLMi en have been pronounced by Phy
sicians the most interesting specimen of Human
ity ever seen or recorded, and oue which must
command Universal Attention. They were born
in ColUmbits county, North Carolina, aud are heal
thy, active, and tor their -age, unusually intelli
gent; They are joined together at the back by the u
nioii'qf the two spines in one. making the connec
tion much more intimate than that of the Siamese
Twiu3.
Many Physicians have examined them, aud all
agree in their Jicing the greatest curiosity ever
seen or heard of, some of their organs being in
common, while others are perfectly distinct. It
is often the case that one child is playful and ac
tive while the other is fast asleep.
Most visitors have expressed surprise to find
them so ''rBKT" aud "cunning," with such intel
ligent, happy faces, where they had not expected
to see such iuUresting children.
Call at once if v ou would not miss the opportu
nity of seeing the greatest wonder of the Age, as
you may ''ne'er look upon their like again!"
Doors open from U o Clock A. M. till 12. M. for
