In March of the past year, some seventy K,nr nf flit.

They crossed from that place to Broesa, at the 'foot of Mount Olympus, and after a short delay there, agitated by hopes and fears t!uy continued on to Kutayieh, where they all still are. Madame Kossuth is with her husband, and greatly through the labors of Madame L- , who undertook another journev into Hungary for this purpose, she now also has her children with her. Among the individuals who persist in remain ing at Kutayieh with the ex Governor of Hungary and his lad v are Madame L- , and the relative who during the dangerous wanderings in Hungary, figured as her hus land.

How Lafayette was Received ev Con gress. In the debate upon the red ption of Kossuth by Congress, frtquent allution was made to the reception of Lafayette as a pre cedent. The National Intelligencer, refer ring to the accounts of this transaction at that time, savs: L.at.yette was mv.u-u each House 'to a seat within its chamber; the committee appointed on the subject hav ing publicly announced that, -'entertaining every wish to make the reception of Gener al Lafayette as complimentary as possible," they yet found difficulties in the way of a joint reception, and considered it better that each House should adopt its own arrange ment and its own " form in the reception of that extinguished individual." The Gener al was accordingly presented Jo the Senate by its committee, with the simple nntroduc t:on: We introduce General Lafayette to tte Senate of the United Stales;" and the General, advancing to the chair, was jnvitei by the President of the Senate to take a seat prepared for him on his right. No address to hua was made. The Senate adjourned scon after his being seated, and then the President and members of that body paid their individual respects to him." On the day following, the. General wa3 introduced to the House with similar ceremonies. On that -occasion, Mr. Speaker Clay, rising from the chair, made to him a brautiful and eloquent address, to which Lafayette made a reply, expressing his acknowledgments cf the con tinued gojd-will of the American people, of his delight in their progress, and his undi minished attachment to the institutions of the country, for whose freedom and indepen dence he had fought nearly fifty years be fore. The House then adjourned, and the members, led by the Speaker, paid their per sonal respects to him. Tile Census Tables have made their ap pearance, and their results are such as to sur prise many! persons.

Mr. Walker ad dressed the Senate at length on the subject, lie welcomed Kossuth for his principles, and atao becarse he saw in this measure the in- cipientstep towards a departure ; from our present unwise policy neutrality.

A resolution to furnish members with newspapers to the amount of four daily pa pers per annum was passed. Mr. Bowne introduced a joint resolution, proposing to give to each of the Hungarians brought hither by the United States Govern ment, cue hundred and sixty acres of land. Debate nriang, the resolution lies over. Mr. Hobard introduced a resolution that whereas Kossuth in a speech delivered in New York is reported to have said that the resolution passed by CoDgress has a politi cal meaning, therefore resolved that the res olution passed by the House was not intend ed to have a political meaning, nor did it pledge the Government to any action, but was merely designed by the House to ex press sympathy for the cause in which he is engaged. The resolution lies over. On motion of Mr. Bowie, it was resolved that the committee for the District of Colum bia be instructed to inquire into the expedi ency and practicability of preventing the circulation of notes of a smaller denomina tion than five dollars in the District of Co lumbia. Mr. Clingman offered a resolution, propos-mo- tr, fi.ltarlhe 17th rule so as to exclude Louis Kossuth from the privilege of the floor, and that the Speaker be requested to communicate the same to Louts Kossuth.

A resolution . offered .By Mr. Pratt to set apart: Friday of each week for the consideration of private Bills, was adopt ed after long debate. The resolution of Mr. Foote, relating to the Compromise measures, was again taken Up : iIr. Houston addressed the Senate in op position to the resolution. He voted for all the. measures embraced in the comoromise. but he did not consider this resolution ne cessary or proper. He thought the meas ures stiould be left to be judged of by ihe people. He was opposed to making thee compromise measures any part of the demo cratic platform, but was for leaving freedom of opinion on this point, as it was allowed on the tariff and the subject of internal improve ments. Mr. Foote replied in the moit vehement manner, and attacked Mr. H. as being gov erned entirely by a desire to secure the sup port of the free-soilers for the Presidency. Mr. H. and Mr. Foote coutinued their personal controversy. , Mr. Butler defended South Carolina from certain remarks of Mr. Houston. After some remarks from Mr. Hale, Mr. Clemens got the floor, and on his motion the Senate adjourned. nousE of Representatives An effort was made to introduce a resolution to ap. point a committee of five to introduce Kos suth to the House, but the motion did not prevail.

Adopted. The resolution declaring the compromise a settlement of 'the slavery question was then taken up. Mr. Cass doubted the propriety of intro ducing the resolution, but it being here, and he being required to vote upon it, he was prepared to give it his hearty support. He replied most eloquently to the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. Clemens followed in an earnest sup port of the resolution, and a most scathing review of the doctrine f secession. Mr. Douglas aLo doubted the propriety of the resolution, but was ready to vote for it. He explained at length his courso on the compromise measures. Mr. Downs got the lioor, and on his mo tion the subject was postponed till the first Monday in January. And after a short Ex ecutive session, the Senate adjourned, until Friday. House of Representatives. The House at an early hour went into committee of the Whole on the bill to authorize the assign ment of land warrants. After much discus- lon, the bill was finally referred to a select committee, ihe House then adjourned un- il Friday. Friday, December 26th. Senate. No quorum being present, the Senate adjourned until Saturday. House of Representatives The Jour nals having been read, the Speaker laid be fore the House a communication he had re ceived from the Librarian, informing him of the destruction of the Congressional Lib:a r by means that are unaccountable, asnei her hrcs nor lights are permitted within us ivalls : in consequence or which, at least 33,000 works have been destroyed, with a nreat number of paintings, engravings, med als, &c.,of great value, - - - j He further stated, that the 20,000 books. which were in the adjoining rooms, have been saved ; among which are the library cf the late President Jefferson, and various valuable works ou the arts, sciences, natural history, &c, and. concludes with the expres sion ot a hope, that a tnorougti ana ser.ron ing inquiry will be instituted into the cause of Ihe disastrous occurrence ; and that means may be adopted to prevent the recurrence of a similar national calamity. Mr. Stanton, of Ky., moved a joint reso- Lrnnr, nf innuirv to ascertain the cause ot the recent disaster by fire. Also, a resolu tion appropriating 85,000 to put a new roof on the part that nad Deen curneu ; uuicu resolutions were adopted. The House then adjouined until Tuesday.

Jas. Shields, . Wm. H. Sewaed, Lewis Cass. Mr. Cass offered a resolution making inqui ries into the cause of the recent fire, &c and after debate it was lard on the table, and the Senate adjourned. The Senate thn ad journed untiLFriday. Tuesday, December 30. House of Representatives. The House went into committee of the whole for the purpose of considering a resolution to appoint a committee of five to wait upon Louis Kos suth and welcome him to the House. Af ter the House had gone into committer, the Chairman said that no resolution Was before it. A lengthy debate ensued as to what was the proper proceedure. During the discus don, Mr. Venable, of N. C , moved an amend ment to a proposition offered by Mr Canter. in effect, that Louis Kossuth be introduced into the Hall of the House who said he was disposed to treat Kossuth with any pro per courtesy, but he took that occasion, he said, to state that the Hungarian leader had fallen in his estimation since his arrival in this country. His object was to involve the United States in the affairs of Europe, and to induce the government to puisue a course which must either result in war or disgrace; and he, Mr. v., was not disposed to place his constituents in cither of these portions Those nations, he said, which deserved lib erty, would be able to obtain it, and the peo ple cf this country exhibited three millions of people defying the pioudest nation upon earth, and triumDhmgr in the vindication of , t 0 their iignis. . Mr. Brooks, of New York, said he should vote for the resolution of the gentleman from Ohio, but meant to accompany his vole with an explanation of the principles by which he was actuated he meant to pay Kossuth a compliment, and not to propound a political principle; and should vote as a mere indi vidual and as a member of society. He was opposed to the doctrine which had been enunciated since his arrival in the United States. If the government of this country have a right to interfere in the affairs of Hun garv, there were millions in the State which he represented who say,that there is no des potism so horrible as that which considers men as chattels, and he was not disposed - to send forth a firebrand throughout the land by applying at home those principles of inter vention under which it was proposed to aci abroad. Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, said he did not conceive it tvas the object of the resolu tion, or either of the amendments, to do more than extend an act ot courtesy, and that there was no dispoiition to po any farther. The debate was continued at considerable length, when the committee rose without any definite action, and the House adjourned un til to-morrow. Wednesday, December 31. House of Representatives A number of unmeaning and frivolus motions were made to amend the Journals, appealing from the decisions of the chair, &c. Finally, the House resolved itself into committee of the whole, and the subject of appointing a committee to wait on Kossuth was taken up. Mr. Disney, of Ohio, expressed himself verv fully in favor ot the principle of nation al intervention. He said the resolution be fore the committee did not commit the House of Representatives, particularly after having invited Louis Kossuth to the United Stales; he stated farther that those rules which had been imposed upon themselves by three mil lions of freemen, are totally inapplicable to a nation of twenty-rive millions. He had seen nothing improper in the conduct or doctrines of Louis Kossuth, and whether it led to war or not it was the duty of the Jnited States to protest against the infraction of national law by any other power. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, expressed his sur prise at the principles avowed by his col league, and handed in that portion of the farewell address of General Washington which is opposed to such a course as he was desirous of pursuing ; and was going on- to question Mr. Disney as to his views, when the half hour expired. The committee two or three times found itself without a quorum, when the roll was called over, and a quorum answered to tneir names. At 8 o'clock the House adjourned to Friday, without coming to any decision concerning the Kossuth resolution. Friday, Jan. 2. Mr. Walker presented theme Senate. monal of the Industrial Congress of New York, praying that Congress would recall the American Minister at the Court ot France, and that all diplomatic and commer cial relations with the French government be suspended. He moved its reference to tne committee on ioreiorn Kelations. Mr. Mason opposed the reference, because the memorial asked Congress to recall a Minister, which act was beyond the constitu tional power of Congress. That could only be done by the President. He moved the memorial be laid on the table. The motion was agreed to by yeas 24, nays 14. Senate adjourned. j House of Representatives. On motion of Mr. Cartier, the House resolved itself into a committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, and took up the resolution for ap pointing a committee to welcome Kossuth. Mr. Jones, of Tenn., in the chair. The amendment to the amendment which was under consideration when the House ad journed on Wednesday, declaring that the people of the United Slates would not view with indifference any interference of Russia with the affairs of Austria, was negatived 37 yeas 111 in the negative. The Kossuth resolution was considerably discussed, without any action being taken upon itwhen the House adjourned to Mon day. California. The Richmond Enquirer is informed that a letter has been received from a native Virginian, now a member of the Legislature of California, which express es the confident opinion that the Legislature will, at its next session, adopt a resolution submitting to a vote of the people the ques tion, whether California will or will not in troduce the system of slavery. The same letter avows a belief that the people of Cali fornia will decide in favor of the introduc tion of slavery, as most economical and use ful for the working ot the mines. T3The Union party in Mississippi have only ten majority on joint ballot. In the Senate there is a State Rights majority. Saving Pdrlt aud Mailing It would probably, just dt this time, be a more acceptable service to many of our read ers, to tell ihem how they are to get port, than how it is to be saved. This, however, does not lessen the importance of the propo sition with which we set out ; and as our au vice. would not be available in tha one case, we proceed to the consideration of the otn er. It is indispensably necessary, to perleet success, that the hegs which are to be convert ed into pork should be fat, and made so by healthy, solid food otherwise the meal will be soft, and subject to much shrinkage and xvaste in drying. Hogs sometimes are slaughtered when in a declining state ; in all such cases the loss is considerable in convert ing to bacon -and the meat, when bailed, seems to grow less, and the bones stick out, as though too large for their envelope Fine bacon can therefore not be expected from poor or declining hogs ; nor may sweet, juiry hams be made, without proper care an d at tention to the putting up ol the pork. J he slaughtering and cleaning should be conduct ed with neatness the scalding and removing the hair, requiring judgment and skill, that tb.o nnA mnv hf neither more nor less than ITshment of the other. Al! the hair should be taken out by the roots, and not shaved off wth the knife; this is not only neater, but in better condition to be saved sweet, and kept free from worms. After the pork is killed, and has hung long enough to have drained and dried welh ihe operation of cutting out may commence. This is too well undersioou u need any instruction from us, further than to remark, that some skill and good taste may be displayed even here in the shape of the ham, and some real advantages are obtained by smooth cutting, leaving no gashes or cre vices for the fly to enter and deposit its egg. After the cutting up, all the pieces should be laid away, sprinkling each piece with salt, and there permuted to remain until the ani mal heat is all gone, and the marrow in the bone shall have become cool. lo accom plish this most speedily and'successfully, it should not be bulked, but laid in single lay ers, if possible. If this is properly done, a single night will usually suffice. Then the salting may commence. There is much dif ference of- opinion some who claim very good success, do not rub at all, but simply pack away in salt. Our practice, and the re sult of our observation, have been different. We should therefore recommend thai all the joints be well rubbed' with salt before pack ing. Where much is to be done, the hand would become tender by long rubbing ; this may be remedied by using the ear of the hog for a rubber. This rubbing with salt is done almost exclusively on the skin side, and is continued until the skin appears chafed and softened with the salt. A little saltpetre should be added to ihe salt some tour or five tablespoonfuls, well pulverized, to each bushel. This aids the salt in striking in, and reddens the texture of the ham. Too much, however, is an injury, making the meet too dry and hard. After the rubbing, let the pork be packed away, covering each piece well with sale. It i better to waste salt than lose meat. There is much diversi ty of opinion as to whether it is best that the joints should be covered with biihe or pickle ; we think that it would be better to be cov eted. With verv large meat, it is .a, good practice, after lvlnar for two or three weeks, to lub the joints a second time with salt, and pack away again. The weather should, be cold when this is done. When it has been in salt four weeks, (and if the weather has been very cold, five will not be too long",) it should be hung up to dry. The hams should be hung so that the hock may be down. 1 his should be done in cold weaher also, and if windy the better, as it will aid very much in drying and hardening the surface. The smoking should now cbmmence, and be kept up constantly for about four weeks, or until the meat is fully cured. Be careful not to heat, by having too much fire, and the meat hung too low. The smoking may then be suspended, but in all damp, wet seasons, should be renewed sufficiently to keep the bicon and inside of the house free trcm iroisture. Some persons report very good success by doing nothing more. Uur ad vice would be. to take the hams all down the last week in February, if well dried (and they should be.) and pack them away in drv ahes. A good plan for this is lo have shelves in the smoke house, and lay some of ihe meat sticks, corn cobs, or any thing dry and hard1, upon the shelf ; then lay the ham. skin side down, upon these first covering the whole surface of the meat, and carefully fillinc. all the little crevices, with dry ashes. They are then in a condi tion to be easily seen and examined through the summer and if the pork has been well made, and the hams put up in gaodlime, li t tle trouble may be expected, more than oc casionally lo scrape off a little mould. The smoke should be made with green hickory or oak wood. One of the most convenient articles which we have tried, is ground tan bark, after it has been used and thrown from the vat. This gives the bacon a beautiful brown appearance, and the smoke is kept up with little trouble. SqilofJie South. Receipt for Pumpkin Molasses. We are indebted to Mrs. Hamby for the following receipt for making pumpkin molasses. t: Wash and cut up a large wash kettle full of Pumpkins. Boil until done enough to mash ; take them up in a coarse flax bag, (a salt sack is best.) dram them until all the water is out; wash the kef.le, put the juice into it and boil it until it is thick. Just be fore it is done add several sticks of cinna mon. Strain it through a sivo when you take it ud." There is no mistake about the molasses being good, and we are certain all who try it will be well pleased. Mountain ISanner. Direct Trade with Europe. Under the commercial head of our paper to-day will be found the exports of two vessels which have loaded with lumber and timber at Darien, and have cleared for Amsterdam. We also learn from our correspondent that about twen ty cargoesfor Holland, have been contracted for on the Altamaha, St. Mary's and Satilla rivers, to be delivered during the present winter.

By the census returns just published it ap- i . i e onn gnn aia pears tnai a capiiai os oo,uuu,uuu is inves ted in woolen manufactures in the United States ; that this employs 39,152 hands ; that nearly 71,000,000 of lbs. ol wool are annual ly consumed, and that the value of the entire product is $43,zuu,uuv m tation Company. We find in some of the papers a report of the Directors cf this Company, from vyhicfi we lewn- iu.n J w" . covered lobe undethnd by bituminous coal of the best quality in beds of from six to nine eet in thickness, and 1100 acres underlaid with anthracite coals of Pennsylvania. The cost of mining thd bituminous coal i3 calcu lated at 45 cents per ton, its delivery on , board barges at 15 cent?,- transportation to Wilmington or Sinithville 23 cents, making the total cost of mining and transportation to a shipping point 'S3 cen ts per ton. 1 1 can be then transported to New York for 81 75, which; added to 83 cents will uiake the cost of placing it in the New York market 82 58 ner ton, wherejt usually sells for" from 86 to 87 per ton. But it is believed that the best rrarket for such coal will be at Smithville, as a depot for the supply of steam. vessels traveising the American coast bound to or from Northern or Southern ports, as well as the West Indie, Mexico and CUagresi It is believed that Deep River Anthracites u nA.C(l in thftN. York and Boston" market at 82 93 per ton, or 82 cents per ton less than the. commonest Pennsylvania or Maryland coal, and at 81 37 less than thef higher qualities, to which it is fully equal. These advantages the Deep River coal de rives from its location immediately on thef . iine of an improved River Navigation ; from the cheapness of that improvement, combin ed with its greater capacity, and. from the fact that it is never closed by ice. We do not know the history of this Mining and Transportation Company. We'presumo that it is in fact an association of Eastern capitalists. But we should rejoice heartily in its success, as it would develope ihe r- sources of the region by iesting its capabili ties and demonstrating its value.
