A TOUCHING SCENE. An open wagon with ono horso attached, And four or five individuals were standing fieaf the door. I felt a chill run through my "Veins. Part of a fearful truth was now revealed. The keen November wind was blowing, and the sky wore its gloomy autumnal aspect, dui learea there was a keener an.

guish and deeper gloom within. I entered, and at one glance at the tablo, the story was told. It was the funeral cf a drunkard! A fliflalt, Cold, and desolate chamber was appro-printed for the solemn services. Indeed, it Was all they had. Here for a season had lived, and here had died, now from here was he to be buried, a husband, a father, who had lived and died a drunkard.

It was a dreary place. There, in ono corner, upon a rough old rickety table, from which they had often eaten their cold and cheerless fare, was placed the coffin, made of rough pine boards, slightly stained with red, in which was placed the corpse, lie was a man perhaps" of fifty, coarsely clad with gravo clothes. His countenance, if an index to his state of mind bespoke nothing but gloom. Around, and underneath his head, where in other places, I had often seen the downy pillow and the rich satin linings, were stuffed a few of the sltav-. Ings roughly taken from the boards which composed the coffin.

In an opposite corner, upon a pile of old clothes, rudely thrown together, sat the unhappy widow, a tall spare woman, pale as the corpse befort her. Her eyes were large and sunken, and she was thin and poorly clad; and as she sat, she wruns toer hands as if to relievo the agony she felt witnin, wnno wun almost every breath she a low, nouow, consumptive cougn, wnum told me too plainly that death had marked her for his victim also. Several little children were standing around and beside tho table where the coffin rested, shivering with cold, and weeping from some cause whether they understood tho meaning of a father's death or not nnd tho tears rolled down their faces In large nnd briny drops. A few of the neighbors had gathered to attend the solemn ser- vices connected with the funeral. They were 'eated, some on boxes, others upon nn old worn eut trunk, while others stood.

It was a gloomy scene, gloomier than the day without, the anguish keener than the biting blast The last of Kossuthism. To-morrow, it is understood, Mr. Kossuth will appear in whore the State government will give him a public reception. It is a childish business, but children are entitled to a holiday now nnd then. This will probably be tho last of Kossuth, for tho material which supplied -the flame of that agitation will be exhausted by the Boston flicker.

No more great cities remain, where tho bubble of Intervention can bo conjured up from tho froth of champagne. 'That doctrine has had a butterfly existence, and is now, in what Mr. N. P. Willis would call, a state of "unsupplyablo gono-ness." is unfortunate for Mr.

Kossuth that he 'finishes his work in this country, nnd goes 1ack to Europe with a far different reputation from that which he brought with him to -our country. Tho government gave him a passage as an emigrant, nnd no other character; but, unhappily for himself, ns soon ns ho (had set foot on our shores he was so unwiso as to put himself into the hands of a little knot of Abolitionists at New York men who are not onlv blind nnd bigoted in their one ades of anti-slavery, but whose general con-duct is wild nnd extravagant. He thus, in nn evil hour, became the stock in trade of a jun-1po of political peculators, id lost at once the which he had borne in onr eyes fill hen. Thenceforth he did everything which he ought not to havo done. He bocamc a trading politician, an intcrmcd-dler, a preacher of agitation.

He insulted the American people, by speaking contemptuously of Washington and the principles of their own government. This was a most gross and unpardonable abuse of tho national hos- itnlity. The man whom wo received as nn emigrant tells as iis only object is to got our money and disturb our peace. Ho attempts toitir ud the populace to disaffection against the government -ho calls for contributions of i nn i i i i. Casn.

wnat an iguuuie uracuwun in mo sentiment of tho proceeding! What a fatal-. ly undignified lapse from "gushing sympa-- thy" to grovelling traffic! No man ever made a quicker step from tho sublime to tho ridiculous. The heroism of his character in-etantly disappears, and Mr. Kossuth stands before our eyes as a dealer in fancy stock, huckstering lor dollars and hurrahs. Boston Churier.

A Desperate Affray. A gentlemen who arrived in the stneo from Danville, on Saturday niffht, gives us the particulars of a terrible affray which occurred in that town on Friday, between Joseph Shelby nnd Alfred Shelby on one part, nnd Frank Cowan on the other. The difficulty originated from nnnvnioiis letter, written to Miss Shelby, a young lady nnd sister of tho Shelbys, who ro- in I.infntn colintv. Cowan WOS ed with being tho author of it. On Friday Cowan walked passed Joseph Shelby standing in tho street of Danville, and as ho came up to him, Shelby pronounced rwnn "a coward, ft damn coward." Cownn replied that he sou ht no difficulty, nnd pns- i' sed on.

Alter navmg guno iu yua, looked back nnd saw Shelby draw a pistol. -Cowan immediately turned around and also drew a nistol. Sholby had a five barreled re volver and fired first. Cowan had throo sin-cfln harreled pistols. Shelby fired all his bar rels, ono taking effect in the fleshy part of Cowan's thigh.

The third fire from Cowan took effect on Shelby, the ball jwwing in on one side of his neck and out on the other, lodging in his shirt. Shelby staggered into a store where his brother Alfred was nnd fell. The latter then seized a bowie-knife, advanced on Cowan, and threw it nt him without effect. Cownn then pursued Alfred with a bowie-Vnife in hand, when several persons interfered, and no further harm wns done Tho ties are all young men. Lou.

A'eie York Express. There are depths of infamy to char-acterize which langunge is inadequate, and which are only to be contemplated with silent unutterable loathing. Arrest of Col. Fkemobt Lospo. In the United States Senate Wednesday last, Senator Owin, ef California, said "By the mail this morning I received a letter from Colonel John C.

Fremont, late a member of this body, dated London, April 13, 1853, in which he states that on the evening of the 8th instant, as he was stepping into a carriage with his family to visit a friend, he was arrested by a party of four Bow-street officers, who were of a low orders-rude and insolent that they were accompanied by a solicitor's clerk of the same character. No time was allowed him to collect information or have intercourse with his friends; ho was simply informed that he was arrested on the suit of unknown parties for tho sum of that he subsequently ascertained that he was arrested on liabilities connected with his militaiy operations in California during tho years 1846 and 1847; that he was confined under lock and key for twenty-four hours, and subject to the most exorbitant extortions. Ho also says that he will be. compelled to maintain an expensive law suit, employ solicitors and able cpuusel, to go through all the anxiety, delays, and individual expenses of the law, or pay $50,000. He further says he has reason to believe that this suit will be followed by many others for large amounts beyond his ability to give security thus permanently endangering his personal liberty.

I have reason to oelievo that this whole proceeding was Unusual, and such as could not have happened to nn Englishman -of it i. Am can eitiiens resident in London, conversant wjth tho circumstances, not only an' outrage with the circumstances, not only an' to Col. Fremont, but disrespectful to our Government. I am requested by Col. Fremont to bring the subject to the notice of Congress, nnd, in doing so, I make this appeal to the Senate to take up the bill I have indicated and act upon The Rail Car Vivid vou like tho luxury, of a new sensation? Take your stand six feet from a railroad track in the night, and await tho passage of the express train.

There is no wind stirring; Clouds close in tho light of the stars; The hum of life has ceased; Blackness nnd silence brood together upon the face of the earth. Afar off tho listening enr catches dawning roar. Half heard and half felt it grows into more distinctness partly revealed by- tho trembling of the solid earth, and partly felt ns a shapeless 'horror filling the air. Every second swells its awful volume, and deepens its terror. The eartb now quakes under its tread a blazing glare flashes livid horror into the surrounding air and you see, crawling along in snaky track, with fiery head crouched to tho ground, and its long train swinging lrom side to side with a wavy mo tion a gigantic and terror breathing monster, instinct with life and power, crushing the earth with its tread, ana creating a whirlwind with its blasting breath, as it sweeps along.

Is there anything in the world which impresses the mind with a profounder sense of resistless power than that enormous mass, with its blazing eyes and smoky breath-rushing with the speed of a cannon ball, and startling the air and earth with the over whelming horror of its flight? What could tho savage think, seeing it for the first time? Imagine such a flight across tho country fifty years ago unheralded by any rumor of its coining -revealing its existence by its pres ence, and rushing suddenly int'. oblivion nsit now rdahes inta the dartness while you gaze upon the spot where it disappeared, and near only the faint echo of its distant trend. What rumors of it would fill the earth. What tales of its grandeur of its speed and power-would startle the credulity of the remotest village gossip. New York Times.

The Emperor of Russia. The physicians of the Czar havo prescribed the waters of Schwalbach, and he is soon to establish himself at tho celebrated plnce, with the Imperial Court, for some time.

In going nnd returning ho can whisper a few fitting thoughts in the ears of tho crowned heads between Russia and Nassau.

It is very clear that he considers Europe safe lor a few months to come, else he would stay nt home, sick or well. North Carolina Whio State Convention. The Whig State Convention of North Carolina which met in Raleigh on Monday, adjourned on Tuesday sine die, having nominated John Kccr, of Caswell County, for Gov-ernnr, and adopted resolutions, the first of which declares strongly in favor of Fillmore for President Tho second declares for Graham, for Vice President Tho third pledges their support to the nomineo of the Whig National Convention, if unequivocally in favor of the Compromise Tho fourth opposes tho dootrine of Intervention. The fifth disapproves of the public lands being given for the benefit of the new States. The sixth declurcs their attachment to the Constitution and the Union, and that they will resist all efforts to enfeeble them.

Other resolutions on State matters were also passed. Some important information as to tho Franklin Expedition, has been received by the British Admirality. It turns on a statement of a Captain of a merchantman, who states that in the Spring of 1851, ho had seen two ships embedded in the ice, drifting, apparently, towards Davis Straits ships, beyond doubt, as he believes, bolonging to tho lost Arctic Expedition. Washington correspondent of the Now York Herald says that tho President through tho Secretary of State, having ordered tho Utah Judges baek to their posts, and intimated that they had better resign if pot disposed to go, they have expressed a determination neither to go' nor to resign leaving it to tho President to remove them, if he sees fit. It is understood tho President has determined to removo them.

The town Grenada, Yallabuaha county, held an election two weeks since, under the provisions of a recent law, submitting to the voters of the town the question, whether vinous or spirituous liquors should be sold there in less quantities than one gallon. The vote stood "against retail," 62; "for it," 29. This is a most sensible decision, and shows that the good citizens of Grenada fully appreciate the value of sobriety.

Shocking. Daniel Tucker, who has so often been warned to "get out of the way," is said to have been run over by a train of cars in Arkansas lately. Baltimore, April 25. It having been confidently asserted that the damage done to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal by the recent flood, require six months time to repair, at a cost of a million of dollars, the engineer contradicts the statement, and says the repairs can be made in three months, and at a cost of not more than 580,000.
