Burning of a .Iail.—— We take the’following
riccountofthe burning ofa jail at Riindolph,
WI. C.,..-ffom the /lshbbro’ "I-Icralrl-:' Between
one and two o’clock on the morning of Sat-
urday last, the Rev. Mr. Lawrence was
surprised in‘ his dormitory by the glare of a
ligli-t. Rushing to the door, he beheld the
roof of the jail, recently" built, in flames.-
He. r.ung_his tavern bell for a few moments,
he made haste to the court house, and rang
'.'l'te* bell to give all the citizens alarm. In a
few minutes many were atthe scene ofcoii-
flagration, and among the first, Colonel
.-,Drak_e, jailor. With nothing to protect his
,1,-ieitsoti but his sleeping ivestments, be,not
without great risk, made his way up to the
' cell of James, a runaway slave advertised in
last Week’s paper. When he had opened
‘one door, the smoke and flames being beyond
ondurance,"he was compelled to retreat and’
was not even ableto do so without slight in-
jury.‘ A ladder was then procured, and Mr.
"Cooper, chief engineer of the plankroad, who
had come to our village on the preceding
, evening, asbended it, with a sledge, and
made a strong, but unsuccessful effort to
break in the window grates of the prisonei-’s
cell. The last ray of hope for the rescue of
James departed with this eflbrt. Duringihe
continuance of eflbrts for his release, his ac-
count ofthe origin of fire was that some one
-chine into the jail with a candle and ignited
the buiding. When Mr. Cooper informed
‘-im that he must perish in the flames, being
t‘ gen asked how the fire originated, he was
.ii'st’inctly understrood by several to acknowl-
edge himself the incendiary. He then most
fervently implored mercy, wrapped his blan-
ket close around his bod_v,and laid himself
down, after which no more was heard save
some piercing shriek.-i atthe falling in of the
roof. His body was of course entirely
consumed. All the doors were found safely
locked by the jailor.
People rlifhvr as much as Anyboalt .--.
Whether an act becomes an insult, depends
‘almost as much on location ‘and surountling
circumstances, as our faith and prejudices do.
Ask a Hindoo to partake of your meat,
and he would spit in you face ; neglect to
ask an Englishman to do so, and he would
probably request the favor of meeting you in
the.Park. To offer wine to a Turk would be
to make an enemy of “enlarged breeches”
forever. The same act to a Frencltman,
would probably secure you an unending
friendship. Among our Oriental friends, for
ri man to introduce himself into the presence
ofa married womanfiwould be to the lins-
band an unpardonable injury; a bare re-
quest to see her an affront. The person who
should call upon an American, however,
withoutinquiring for the partner of his boi-
som, wo'uld be considered as having lost his
title to a gentleman. On the coustof Mala-
bar, ifa Hallacliore chance to touch 11 man of
rt superiortribe, the oiitrage is so great that
, the laws allow the injured party to punish
the insult with death; in almost any other
country, it would be treated us an act too friv-
olous to notice. In France duelling is look.
i-d upon as an accomplishitient; in Japan it’s
murder. Suicide on the contrary, is thought
by the Frenchman an act of baseness——
_ while the Japanese people esteeiii it
ihe most satisfactory proof of your
possessing bravery. To wipe otit ti dis-
grace, the Frenchmari shoots you; the Ja-
panese, on the century shoots himself; while
your refusal to follow his example, i would
lie Considered such an act of pOlIl'O0I'Il.‘l'y,
that your family would consider themselves
disgraced to all eternity.
Good Joke on a I/Virlnwer.-—A correspond-
ent at Holly Springs, Mississippi, tells us the
following, and vouches for its truth. It is
the bestjoke we have heard oflo'e’y ; It ap-
pears that a widower in that town, of it some
what gallant disposition, had been accustom-
so‘ to visit the residence ofthe widow M ;
whether to see the amiable widow herself,
Oi“ ht’l' lively duuglitcrs, our informant did
not know. One evening he found the fami-
ly partyhard at work on some garments of
cloths. The girls were sewing, and the
widow was pressing the seams. The wid-
ower “ hung up his hat,” as usual, and took
his seat by the fire; just at that moment it
happened that the widow had done with the
pressing iron (vulgo, or tailor’sgoose.) She
eat it down on the hearth, and called to her
te,ro man in a_ loud voice, “Jake! Jake!
fome and take out this goose!” The widower
started up in astonishment, not knowing
what to make of the abrupt order. “Jake,
do you hear me '2" exclaimed the widow.——
‘‘I beg your pardon, Mrs. M.” said the wid-
ower, with visible agitation, “ but prav don’t
(‘all -litl€_e——if you wish me to leave your
house, I will go at once, and without the in-
tt-ference of servants.” The ladies roared
with laughter, and it took some moments to
explain to the chagrincd widower his mis-
, take. He has not been known to visit the
widowll/I since that memorable evening

Kossuth.—-This name will grace any doc-
ument with which it is connected. The cit-
izens ofa free country will never cease to
sympathize with those generous spirits who
. .-have risked their lives in defence of the prin-
ciples of liberty Poor as he is, a prisoner
in a foreign land, with not a particle of pow-
er to benefit any human being—-yet is Kos-
sut_h one of the brightest names of Europe.
It is his virtue, his chivalry,his devotion to his
county, and her independence-—-it is the
head that devised, and the hand that attempt-
ed to execute a plan for the emancipation of
Hungary, that appealed for sympathy and
support to every American bosom.
Mr. Jefferson once pronouced in his elo-
quent inaugural address, that this favored
country was to be “the asylum of "the op-
pressed humanity.” And to whom should
, ‘she sooner stretch ltcr hospitable hand-
svhom take to her bosom——to whom should
she more readily open the‘ vast resources of
the benefits which a gracious Providence has
poured into her lap, than to men like Kos-
suth.
The narrative of Mr. Brown, our drago-
man in Constantinople, (now abiding in this
city) is as lucid and frank, yet delicare a
statement of all the circuinstances connected
with the impri.eonment and delivery of Kos-
‘sum, and the liberal conduct of the Turkish
_government,as could well be embraced in
the same compass. The letter of the Secre-
. tiry ot'St.te isimbiied with the best quali-
ties of his mind. It is-clear, eloquent argu
rnentativc, and we trust adapted to ‘its pur-
pose. We hope to see Kossuth on our shores-
Beceived he will be with all the outpouring
, of the American character, and enabled we
trust, to enjoy some repose and many bless-
ings, after the arduous stiugglcs ofthe battle
field, anrlhis it'kso:ne detention in Ktitayish.

The Prospect. .
The prospects ’fo_r--VVh_ig=-siiccess at the
coming electton,.t_1re most cheering from
every section of the State.-
ford writcs us that " Chapman WI” F199‘
cn'lq.;‘n[_1/ be elected” in that Congressional
District —and of this we have no doubt. In
the Eastern part of the State, the Whigs are
full» of activity and confidence. The. largest
vote ever given in New London, Windham
and Tolland Counties, will be polled at this
election. From Fairfield and’ Litchfield
Counti.es,especially from the latter, our intel-
ligence is of the most cheering character.-—
‘Butler will be re-elected to Congress by
more than a thousand plurality. The Whigs
will carry almost the entire mass ofRepresen-
tatives in that County. In Fnirfield County,
the towns comprising the twelfth Senatorial
District, will roll up one of their old Presi-
dential niajorities. Noiwalk is in that‘ dis-
trict. In the 10th District, in_ which Bridge-
port is situated, there are a variety ofelemems
mixed up in the contest, which may increase
or diminish the Whig strength a little. Our
friends, however,appear to be confident Of
favorable results. Inthe 11th District, (Dan-
bury, &,c.,) the Whigs are determined to
carry the Senator, if possible, though the
District is at best a hard one. _
In New I-IavenC'ounty with lliP.f6__XCepllOl'l.0l'
one.oi' two spots, the best feeling prevails,
and it is believed that the old wliig fires will
blaze as brightly as ever in all the towns by
the time of the election In the city all is
well-and although the old Hunkers send out
reports into the country, that the Whigs
probably will not be able to elect eithertheir
State Senator or Represehmtives--ll1*"° J3
no foundation whatever for this briigadocia.
The Whigs here will give a much larger
majority than they did last year, or the_ your
previous, though some the locofoco candidates
may runa little better than others. The
«Whigs in other parts ofthe State, will have
no cause to complain of New Haven County.
From tviiddlesex we hear the most cheer-
ing accounts. The Whigs will almost cer-
tainly elect one of the two Senators, and
will elect Representatives from some towns
that have 'h(‘.reL0f0t‘e most frequently sent
Locofocos. In a letter received last night
the writer who is in the I9th District, says
“ Things look better this way than they have
for some years. Our town will make a bet-
ter show than ever before.” He adds —“ We
think that Mr Brownell will be elected in
this Disti'ict,and our chance in the county
for Sheriff is quite fiiir, and for Congress-
man, the couiity will do far better than be-
fore.”
Another friend savs—-“ If-Mitltllesex coun-
ty does not give a good account of hvrself. 11
will not be for the want of effort. We con-
fidently expect to carry ottr Sheriff. ’ ,
In short the prospects are most cheering
on every hand, and the few local difiiciiltics
that have existed in two or three places, are
fast giving away to the patriotic spirit that is
now roused and active all over the State.—
But labor mtist not cease for a momeiit.—
Wonk oN,WtiiGsl The election is at hand.
Your -friends abroad are watching you with
great anxiety. Disappoint them not ! T'ne.
Whigs of the city deserve all praise for their
zeal and activity. They will give a glori-
-ous account of themselves on election day -—-
The lot-os profess to think d.ill'ei'ently, and
perhaps they are sincere. We know pretty
rienrlv upon what their cal:-ulations are
based‘. Sotne of these calciilaiious may
prove coi'i'ect—-but others will show them to
have been wholly deluded.—N I-I. Pall.
.P.§’72.7'j/ Ct'a,i/.——Mr. Clay is now about
seventy-five years oltl—an age at which few
men retain their faculties unimpaired, their
spirits unbroken, or the aptitude for severe
and protracted labor. Yet intrinsically re-
gztrded, there is hardly a younger member
of the American Senate. Adveisity does
notdepress nor uexpt-cted peril perplex him.
The egotism and the garrulity of Age are
never evinced in his speeches nor his conver-
sation. In the frankness and grace of his
manner, in the buoyancy and frequent gaye-
ty of his Spll‘llS,ln the alacrity to tlo and dare
wherewith he breasts every labor and courts
every responsibility, are evinced the courage
and energy of unvanquished youth Though
45 yeiyts have elapsed since he first entered the
Senate, and evrey one of those who were
compatriots of his first service in that borly
have long since gone “the way of all the
earth,” yet he is to day as alertand vigorous
us many a man twenty years younger. Fur
distant be still the day which shall consign

51:? A certain Peter Romine, writing to
the editor of the Florence (Ala.) Gazette,
speaks with something of the spirit burning
within him that must have animated his
namesake when he drew his sword and cut
off‘ an ear of the High Priest’: servant—
He says:
“ A man that would advocate a dissolution
of this, otir glorious Union, must have his
heart washed with lampblrick and dog’s
grease. A man of that character could not
get a .neal’s victtials ar a bed to sleep on at
my house. My dogs should not bark at a
man of that character. if I was to catch it
buzzard eating the carcass of n disunionist I
would shoot it. They are the last of God's
creation ; fit for nothing but to be winked at
by negroes, kicked by mules, gored by bulls
and butted by rants.” ' ’

./7-rresl of a cute Yaiz/ctie itpoii. Suspicion of
Burglary and Forgery/.—-VVitliin the past
ten days, a hardware store, in the village of
Danbury, Conn,., was forced open,and rob-
bed of- several hundred dollars worth of
property, with which the burglar, or bur-
glars made their escape. On Ttiesday»after-
noon, Officers Nealies and Barnes spied a
shrewd and genuine looking Yankee at the
pPculiat‘ movements, was at once suspectetl
-of being ciincerned in the above robbery,
and was accordingly taken into custody,and
brought to the Touibs.as was also his baggage
which contained a large quantity of knives,
buttons, and various other articles that att-
swers the description of those stolen at Don-
bury. The Officers searched the down-easier
and found 8490. in ten dollar counterfict
bills, upon the Bank of New York, snugly
stowed away in his boots, and also several
hundred dollars in his pockets, which consist-
ed of genuine gold and silver coiti, and
bank bills. The entire“ boodle”was placed
in care ofSidney H. Stuart and the accused
was committed by Justice Lothrop,,to await
a further investigation into the whole afftiir.“
He gave his name as A. P Treadwell, and_
said that he was frotuthe Land of_ Wooden

me the following admirable paragraph from
the Star Spangled Banner, at Trentoti, which
the Nashville Banner assures us speaks the
honest sentiment of the great body of the
people of Tennessee:
“ A good man is a great man. And a wise
man may be known by his works, and by the
deep impress he stamps upon the world by
the force of his chart-ter. VVhois there that
will ever forget the fearful condition of the
ctiuiitry when Gen Taylor was called to an-
other sphere of action, and when Mr, Fill-
more was ctilied by Providence to preside
over the destinies of this country It was
it titne of excitement. The North and the
South had become divided tipoii the subject
of slavery. And the most angry passions
t-eetnedto have dethroned re-ason,and the coun-
try seem rapidlyapproacliing to a ruinous and
ll'l'C(l(:‘(’IIllblt:‘ vortex ofdcstruction. The Pr -
si~.leiit of the United States was between two
» wtiils of fire. Ftlll=ltlClSn1 had gained so rap-
idly upon the better Judgemt-nt ofthe people
that there were hundreds in both sections of
the Union who could not be pleased. And
hence the President became a subject of vi-
iuperation. But he came into office resolved
to do his duty. And to whom are we in-
debted now, but to Presi-lent Filliiioro and
his Cabinet, for that peace and traiiqiiiliiy
which pervade the country? To FIZZIICTIZC the
