Our intelligence from Washington will be fouad somewhat interesting. 1t will bezcen that Kossuth | yesterday lef: the capital, to the especial regret of tho hotel keepers: and that the Hungarians have | got into s row among themselves, in which their great crater and Mrs. Tochman (lato Mile. Ja- gello,) aro somewhat mixed up. It is said thata matement relative te the affair is to be published By one of tho parties concerned—so we may soon expect some curious developemen's from that quar- fer. Tke Kossuth excitement is not over yet. In the United States Senate, yesterday, Hon. ‘Tramen Smith made a lengtby speech on the reso- Intion to give the printing of the sovonih eancus io Messrs. Donaldson and Armstrong, efthe Union. ‘The speaker very clearly demon- wtrated the impolicy ofthe present system ofactu- ally sustaining pol: at the seat of go- vernment, by pi hands contracts to do the natioual printing at exhorbitant prices. Con- grese ehoull have jong since established an ofiice to do all the printing requized by che L-xezutive oad Legislative departments. Tbe work would then | be executed better, cheaper, and more expeditious- Jy. The present system appears to be used by both Farties, ior the especial purpose of keeping their | partiren organs afloat. at the public expense. | The anti- Kossuth feoling of the Southern mem- | bers of Congress still. manifests itself. In the | House, yesterday, Mr. Stanty, of North Carolina, | attempted to introduce a resolution to relicve the | sufferings of those poor llungarians who have no | omee, and may be in danger of dying from starva- | tion orthe inclemency of the weather. This really philanthropic movement was actually objected to | by a vote of 120 nays to 4 yeas. Indeod, Mr. | Preeton King, the New York free soiler, inquired 2eto whether Mr. Stanly had voted for the Kos- wath welceme resolution ! Mr. Stanly’s reply, that , “‘thie resolution was for the jbenciit of the poor exiles, and for humbucging governors,” indicates piainly that, although he was very willing to be- | friend those who were really in need, he was hos | tile to the policy of such of them as were endoavor- | ing to entangle our country in the affairs of foreign mations. Another illustration of the feeling of hostility in the Southern States to,Kossuth’s doctrine, will be gound in tho action of the Maryland Legislature. ‘The lower house passed resolutions, yesterday, wel- coming him to the State capital, but, at the same time, repudiating his intervention policy. Kozsuth made 2 great mistake—an almost irromedi ecch on the su ite out hie e the veteran state opinion of ti ond almost univeraal atten indieposi' Heartt.

So it appears that the Magyars do wot wonopolize ali the sympathy; the sons of Lin ome in for a small share of it. We learn tbat the Merchants’ Insurance Com- , pany, at Budulo, has been compelled to suspend operations, having lost over $100,000 on policics, within the last two months. Thirteen persons wore instantly kiled and a wumber of cthere were wounded, by the explosion of thesteamer Magnolia, near Darien, Ga.,a few Gaye since. The Board of Supervisors, yesterday afternoon, held their second mecting tince the organization of tho new Common Council, at which meeting, it will be seen, the ball was fairly opened, anda strong | @emonstration was made by Recorder Tillou for re- trenchmont and reform. Tho liccorder prosented several resolutions, which were referrod to the | appropriate committees, in which his Honor set forth that from henceforth no charges for wine, spirisnous liquors, tobacco. or sogars, of any kind, shall bo audited, unless for medical purposes. Also, all bille or accounts shall have the items eomprising the same epecified,, and not pnt ander the vague head of ‘refreshments,’ which, | hitherto, hae covered every charge, and which | the tax-payers were made to foot. The Re | corder referred to roveral bills, in illustration, | as audited by the former board—for instance, | the excise bill, instead of being a ‘bill of par- | fieulere, morely consisted of the word “Te | freshmonts,” aed amounted to over $6,000; ano- | ther similar bill, for about $1,500, was designated “Tearoom expenses.” There wore many other, | of a like clamp. Recorder Tillou is just tho msn the people want about there days, and willbe supported, inail euch mearures of reform, by the community. | Yesterday evening very little busines: was trans | acted by the Loard of Aldermen.

He was the fire: man of the frat dolegation, after tho ‘ate boldly and firm arrival of Kogeuth, to favor of the great principles of intervention vor of European struggles for liberty, which been avowed as the sole object of Xossuth’s vil this country, and which keeps him here, tray from the East tothe West, from the North t> the South. A full explanation of the vie ws entertained by Koseuth and bis associates, on this new and po- pular topic, and how he and they understand the new idea, will be found in the letter which wo publish to-day, and which will probably create some sensa- tion in Congress, or at least a profound impression in the Southern States. {tis not necessary to sayany more on this point. ‘The letter, and the sentiments which it contains—the tle and its avowals, its principles, and the views which it embodies of the future—will speak for them- selves We have already intimated the views which oc- curred to us on perusing Mr. Websier’s famous speech at the Kossuth banquet in Washington. nce be- tiveen the principles now given to us over tho sig- nature of John C.

Nossuth has fre. quently declared that his object was to return to Europe, and start a general revolution there, em- bracing Hungary and all of the old continent. The coup and remarkable popular cleciion of Louis Napoleon, combined with the change of the Foreign Minister in England, and associated with the sentiments of the other powers of Europe, have satisfied oven Kossuth, that for the present no revo- lution is practicable in the Old World, and that no prising can be brought about on the otuer side of the Atlantic. But, in the face of theso misfortunes, the Hungarian orator does not give up the idea of getting upa revolution of some kind, and living in an tation that will produce results of great He has commenced @ political revo- on in this country—a revolution ombr. the first blush, not morely its foreign pol plicy a3 well, and pro- He kas marched in in his revolutionary he dees net produce ion i i is good i eta revolution d policy of t beon comm ¢ nd Messiah, ! him where he the most d reception ap thing scems to fall before Mosse eemen Wachington and the Five Polots—the members of Cong: uny spouters of Tammany Hall.

Cal- houn, and the principles developed by him, must produce a sudden and remarkable change on the opposition heretofore maintained by tho Southern Statee towards Kossuth and his idea. Wo ore in the midst of a change; but wha} that change may bring forth, in the approaching Presidential elec tion, is altogether uncertain and difficult to predict. We can only watch and mark develepemente as they take place.

That journal displays a good deal of talen its editorial columne, but we are sorry to eay i hibits an equal quantity of intemperance, pa and prejudice. This may be accounted for from the fact that the editor is a zealous conv Catholic by birth--who repudiated at a principles of the faith in which he was ro educated, and bolted in one mouthful thus Roman Catholic religion. Notwithstand display of intemporance, pagsion, and prejudice, it is the acknowledged organ of Archbishop Hughes, and is commended by that dignitary to the support | and patronage of Catholics throughout tho com- | munity. There are other Catholic journals pub- lished in other parts of the country, which, if they are not marked with as much ability as distin- guishes the Freeman's Journal, are certainly supe- rior to it in moderation of tong, courteousness, propriety. One is published at Cincinnati at Boston, and another in Baltimore. Now, it is a curious fact that the organ of Bishop Hughes, in New York, is denounced by the othor Catholic journals to which we have referred, ani which are likewigo the organs of the Catholi: Bishops in the dioceeses in which they are pub- liched. ‘Tbe Boston publication and th timore publication have for long wrangled and disputed with Archbishop Hughes’ | orgen, and repudiated the anti-rapubl ¢ tiona.y and abzolutistieal prineiples whi enuously advocates.
