n. V. OA Hit Kit, IMitor. v r. i i : i v i : v kmx;, w v, tr. j$ . body of the man, G. A. Cooper, of New Liberty, Ky., who fell off the eteamer Sea Gull near Carrollton, on Sunday evening last, was recovered this morning, at one of the wharves in this city. OCT A. correspondent of the New York Herald details two instances of gross fraud upon the Treasury, by the Hon. Thomas Ewing, Secretary of the Home Department. The first case mentioned is that of a claim first presented to the government in 1801, for two or three thousand dollars against the rouawatomie Indians. The only evidence of the indebtedness of the savages to the trader was a sheet or two of letterpaper, with the items written in the French language, and instead of dollars and cents the words plus and skin, were employed. Tins claim was adjudicated at the instance of the Indian Bureau, and payment refused four times. The claim is now nearly a half century old, and has been allowed, notwithstanding the final adjudications and the eix or seven treaties with the Fottowatamies within that period, which treaties, is said, settled all claims. The next case is that of V. G. and G. V. Ewing, of Indiana, who brought in a hill of forty-three thousand three hundred and forty-one dollars against the Fottowatamies. This claim had been decided against by the former officers in the Indian Iiuteau, because, th chief and head men hai given their notes for the larger portion cf tht claim that it waa a claim against individual Indians, and not against the Indian Natittt. This el aim it as alao been allowed and paid by II r. Secretary Ewing. The following, fiorn. the New Albany Democrat, shows now some lames may be done : 1 A "Western Whig ex-member of CoEgresa" is aid to have boasted of having made five thou sand dollars frr having accomplished the work of hi employer!.. W. G. and G. V. Ewing might well afford to pay Caleb B. Smith, or whoever else he may be, five thousand dollars for procur ing the allowance of a fraudulent claim of more than forty thoun&nd. Whether Thomas Ewing is a partner to this transaction will perhaps never be known; but that suspicion should attach to a man wIiuh inorul perceptions are fo low as his are, is not at all unnatural. For the honor of the tint on, whose, representative and agent he is, we hope that he bus acted rather Iroma bigoted party impulse a ile.sire to reward conspicuous mem bers of his party than from dishonesty. The Repub!ic, at Washington, has become an adept in hunting down Locj,co rascals We would recommend Secretary Ewing and C. 11. Smith to its loving-kindness. f-The Terre Haute Journal, in an article in reply to the charge recently made by the Whig preps that the election of E. V. IWeiiausjhey to Congress in a "terrible rebuke" to the Senateof the United Slates, says that Mr. Cookerly , the candidate who opposed Mr. McGaughey, had within a year separated from the Whig party, and had not, therefore, acquired the full confidence of the Democrats. Mr. Cookerly was but little acquainted in the District, and had beco.ne a candidate so short a time before the election, that he had not even time to pass over the District, much less to canvass it thoroughly. To show that McGaughey did not owe his election to his own specific strength, it is sufficient to state that his vote fell 336 short of that for Gen. Taylor, "whose majority in the District was 1.375; notwithstanding, Cookerly's vote was 634 less than that of Gen. Cass, and 1;339 less than that of Mr. Wright for Governor. Instead, therefore, of this election giving any jun cause for triumph to the friends of McGaughey, it should be to them matter of mortification that with such advantages in the canvass he could get no more votes. oj 'v '-.- ui iaiavevie nave raed a "Hog Ordinance."

fj-The following is from the address of Mr. Arculariue, at the recent monster demonstration in favor of Hungary and Liberty, in front of the City Hall, N. Y.: What could be more insulting to the Christian world than to see these two incarnate demons, Russia and Austria, invoke the great God of Justice to their assistance in the general destruction

of men, women, and children. The unholy cru sade of Austria and Russia against the Hungarians now commands the attention and action of the friends of Freedom throughout the world, and particularly in our own land. No justifica tion on our part can be offered for any exhibition of coldness or indifference. The position which we hold, and the political advantages we enjoy, were won by yeara of toil and great sacrifice of human life, and we must now prove ourselves the true descendants of heroic sires, and the proper guardians of the honor of our nation, which stands a the exemplar of the world. Here, fellow-citizens, from the heart of our proud and populous city, must we send up our voices, and earnestly call upon all who love Free dom, in the full and holy acceptance of the term, to join in one loud acclaim, that it may become world-wide known, that the People of the United States of America recognize the Hungarians as a Free and Independent People emcyig the Nationa of the earth. fj7We clip the following trom the Lou isville Courier of the 3d inst.: Mail Failures. We are sorry to bo compel led again to complain ef the failure of the New York mail. This makes the fourth failure within a week past. We might as well have no mail at all aa miss it for several daya and then get a cart load all at ouee. We have never experienced such annoyance frora the failure of that mail as within the last few weeks, and we do hope Mr. Coi'ame r will da something tswards correcting tha evil.

From Chihl aul a Alleged American Octragks. The N. O. Picayune has received from Chihuahua, the "Faro" of that city, dated the 3d of July, in which we find grave charges laid against parties of Americans travelling through that State who are accused of wantonly molesting the inhabitants. A representation was made to Mr Samuel Lucas, the American Consul, by the authorities of Canton Bravos, in which complaints were made that armed parties of Americans, proceeding to California, from thirty to seventy in

number, have come thither without passports, and j panied by her two daughters arrived at N. York, did what they liked, and trampled the laws of the August 23th, in the ship Hibernia from Livercountry underfoot. There were no means of pool. They intend proceeding immediately to

repressing the offensive demeanor of the foreigners, since the people of Canton Bravos had neither arms nor ammunition, having been disarmed at the invasion by the Americans two years ago. The Governor of Chihuahna, Don Angel Trias, had sent to Canton Bravos one hundred musketa and five thousand rounds of ammunition by Col. Ugate, to make the laws of the land respected, and had communicated information of the affair to the President. American Art Union. The American Art Union at New York already numbers on its walls wo hundred paintings, forming but a part of the purchase of the present year. A large additional number of great interest will be exhibited on the opening of the enlarged Gallery, with additional rooms in the month of September. The best American Artists will be fully and generally represented. New purchases of works of Art are constantly tming made with the increase of the subscription list, which already numbers about three thousand names, being more than twice the subscription of the corresponding period of last year. A new series of outlines of Irving's Sleeping Hollow, by Darly ; a large line engraving of Cole's voyage of Young, with the monthly issue of the Bulletin, will be given to each subscriber. The distribution will include a number of Port Folios of original Drawings, original bronze statues, by Brown, and a very extensive and highly valuable collection of Paintings, works of Art, and Engravinga by native and resident Artists.

Qrtr Victoria 1.1 Dl-blix. A" correspondent" of the New York TribCue, describing the Queen's visit to Ireland, gsss on to say: The levee h Dublin private first, for the rlite, and general afterward for the second choosing was one of the most brilliant affair on record. Contrast it with O'Connel's gatherings, or Smith O'Brien's hosts, (which, as I have remarked, were but meetings in the air,) and it shows wonderfully in the morning papers. There was also one noticeable feature before it, viz: the presentation of addresses from some half dozen different sects or religions. The Church of England eame forth strongly in an address of Art h Bishcpsand Bishops the Catholic Hierarchy next appeared, and Her Majesty, in replying to their loyalty, gave one sign of XIX century when she alluded to the spirit of "our holy religion," Identifying Catholic and Protestant in one creed in her heart; then the Unitarian and Presbyterian bodies made obeisance, and while kneeling in the shadow of the throne, called down the blessinga of the Most

High, in their own style upon Her Majesty; and, lastly, the Quakers presented their duty, and received a benignant commendation 01 their characteristic benevolence displayed in the late crisis. Assuredly the Queen occupied no nnpleasing position in these ceremonies, and scattered graceful and judicious words suited to the various applicants for her Royal favor. OaiciM of th Stars and Strifes. A corres-, of the National Intelligencer writes that he was lately shown the armorial bearings in colors, of the Washington family, lately brought over from England. He was so struck with the resemblance to the arms ef the United States as to infer that the similarity was intended as a compliment to Washington. The came cerreepoadent has an indistinct recollection of hearing it said that the arms of the Ualea war arranged by Fraaeis Wilkinaea.

Iuly, Raletxky, with at least IC0,0C0 soldiers, would, ia all probability, have joined the invastoa of Hungary, and the worst results might have followed. The French intervention, therefore, however atrocious as regards tt.e re publican faith of France and the rights of the Romans, has been a God-send to the Hungarians. There is some proof in this fact, that Providence overrules the evil intentions of men and governments to a good end. Rome will yet rise gloriously from her ashes, and the nest of despotic European nations, will become a brotherhood of republican states. N. Y. Sun. Mr. Owen, U. S.

Capt. Denver ran as the auti-Benton candidate, and received (as we have been informed,) only about one hundred votes! and that, too in a county which polls more votes than any j other county in the State, outside St. Louis. Comment is unnecessary. St. Joseph Gaz. The Newspapers. The Dewspaper may be destroyed at night it may light a cigar, or may curl a lady's hair but the thoughts that are in its columns may influence ten thousand for good and produce effect which volumes of essays, sermons or narratives could never effects, and especially where they could never reach. Upon the above a bachelor editor remarks as follows: "The very thought ofone's lucubrations nestling down at night among the ringlets of a sweet girl, keeping watch over tbe midnight slumbers, as well as curling her hair, is enough to infuse poetry into the pen and make the traces a long tbe sheet, frantic with sentiment." HZr" The Emperor of Russia has sent a sack of wheat to Kossuth, and desired him to count the grains. Koaauth wrote back aaying, "The sack holds many grains, but I have three hawks and three raven who will pick them up." The hawks are supposed to be Bern, Derobinski, and Geegey the ravens to be June, July, and August, when the fever generally rages. Axxat!o or Canada.

TWO DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE, ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER WASHINGTON. Great Battle lelxcten the Hungarians and Russians. 30,000 Russians If Stroyetl! HUNGARIANS IN SIGHT OF VIENNA, THE AUSTRIAN CAPITAL! New Yor, Sept. 5. The Washington arrived at New York on last evening. Austria tmd Hungary. Thirty thousand Russ:-ae under Ludiz are eaid to have been completely routed hy an inferior force under Bern, and the survivors were hujrted into Wallachia. A bulletin from Dembmskf, dated Gyrsgyas July 28th, speaks of a second great vfctory he has obtained over the Russians, after having attacked them by surprise on the night of the 23d. The Russians did not stand; many officers fled in their shirts, others were cut down or taken prisoners. Two regiments of Russian Cuirassiers were nearly annihilated. The Rnseiaas rallied in the morning and fought desperately, but a brilliant cavalry attack, oa the part of the Hungarians, decided the contest. The Russians left 1600 dead an the field, eighteea cannon, beaidea 2,000 prisoners. The following Rusaiaa intelligence la gives: Oa Ute 234 July, the RiSea ware attacked ia the pass ef O. S. Lash by Magyars, and forced to retreat. That were then reiaf?cee4 wila four peices of artillery, but were egaia forced te retire. After three hours righting, ia which they leat ia killed and wounded four officers and one hundred and sixty privates, the Magyars passed through the pass. What then must have been the reality when they confess so much. Vienna is now garrisoned by only a few new levies, and when the post left, Presburgh was oe cupied by Hungarians. The Vienna letters confirm the occupation of Raab by the Hungarians. Some Hungarians had even appeared within a few leagues of Vienna. The Austrians were hastily collecting an army of twenty-six thousand men at Presburgh to assume the offensive. The Hreslau Zeitung, of the 15th uit., says that persons who arrived in Vienna on that eve- ... mug that a sanguinary engagement had taKen j place at Grosswardtin. The Hungarians had I . , : there concentrated a body of eighty thousand men, including troops from Klansei.iburg. Affairs at Comorn are in the same state. Hungarians are even threatuiug Presburg. day intervening. The CINCINNATI MARKETS. Cincinnati, September 5 1 P. M. Flour. Good old, $5 50$5 12; new, $4 50. Whisky, 28c. O" We observe that the "caricature" on Gen. Taylor's speech, delivered in this city, as reported for the Gazette and Journal, is being published in the Federal papers at the East. We again repeat the declaration, on unquestionable authority, that no such speech as that reported, was delivered by Gen. Taylor in this city. Topics were introduced into the printed speech, that the General never alluded to; indeed, the report is the greatest "caricature" and forgery ever perpetrated upon a public man, aa can be attested by those who heard the original! Pitts. Post. Fishing for a Pickpocket. A gentleman in London having frequently lost his pocket handkerchief in the street, tied a black silk thread to one, and holding the thread in his hand, put the handkerchief into his pocket, and went down Lombard street. The handkerchief was soon taken away, thread and all, without his perceiving it. However, he resolved to try again, and be. more on hia guard. This time, while he held faat the thread with one hand in his trowsers pocket, he felt a bite, and turning round quickly, he caughtalady in possession of his handkerchief. i J i riuc eviiiTUKira prompts ppopio 10 qo queer things.
