A Fool aud his Folly.

The Albany IN. " Transcript re-
lates the particulars of feat lately done
at Pittston. Rensselaer, County. by which
a man BY the name of Wadsworth shot a
potato, with rifle ball. off the head Of a
man named George Grogran, twenty pa.
ces distant, at arms length. The dis
tance was paced. Grogran took his place,
with his cap off and potato on his head
when Wadsworth deliberately raised his
rife, drew fine shot on the potato, and
discharged his piece at arms length. No
one expected he would do it, and. for a
moment. CONSERVATION was depicted on
the countenances of all the bystanders,
until Grogan, putting his hand upon his
head, said, in an agonizing tone: cam ]
dead? Is there any blood"
1t was found that Grogan was not dead,
but that the potato had been cut in twain,
and that no blood had been drawn, though
ridge about the size Of persons finger
had been raised on the top of his head by
the force of the ball. ##
The man upon whose head the potato
was placed was fool If the man who
shot the rife had aimed helf an inch low
err, he would have been murdered. y

A coWHID1HG AFFAIR.

The Cowhiding mania seems to be
spreading with great rapidity, and we
have had some very striking symptoms Of
it in our own quiet little town recently
On Wednesday of last week, a young
gentleman, of this place, who is celebra-
ted for his gallantry, invested dime in
genuine cowhide, which he admin
istered to an individual in town whom
he alleged had slandered female friend
Of his. We arrived at the scene too late
TO witness the most exciting part of the
performance; bnt, as they are both rep
resentatiyes of the faderland, we heard
some Of the tallest kind of scolding. done
up in the "Yarman" language.

Our citizens all deprecate the act very
much, and will use every means to bring
the assassin to justice.
The Lieute in command has sent to
Leavenworth for larger force, but we
apprehend no further demonstration.
Jones is alive this morn ng. but is con.
sidered very dangerously wounded. The

spine. 1t is hoped the public will withhold
judgment until fu, ther Investigations are

News from Kansas.

ByTeference to our Kansas news in
another column, it will be seen that the
war has again opened up. The ruffians are
attempting to enforce the bloody code Of
the bogus Legislature. and Sheriff Jones,
In making arrests under those laws met
with resistance from the Ere, State citi-
gems, when Shannon under instructions
from President Pierce called out the u s.
troops to assist him. Jones. the Rufian
Sheriff has been shot, and it is very prob.
able that many others will share his fate
before the affair is settled.
The Missourians knew they could mo-
enforce those laws without blood shed
and their object in making the attemp
was to provoke violence, and we think
they will succeed to their hearts cor
tent.

LAWRENCE. K. T., April "a, 1856.
Editor Of the Missouri Democrat:
Knowing that your regular correspon-
dent is debarred from writing you by this
neil, volunteer few lines that will be
of public interest. Jones, the Sheriff OF
Douglass county was shot last night about
ten o'clock, and it 10 expected that his
wound will prove fatal. The attending
circumstances were these On Saturday
and Sunday last, he made two unsuccess-
full attempts to arrest S. N. Wood and
others, for some old offences for which he
has held warrants for several months,
and never sought to enforce. Our people
were unwilling to recognize him or his
authority. He had a small posse with him
from Leeompton each time. but he took
away none of our men under suchcircum-
stances. He seemed greatly exaspera-
ted and swore he would have them at any
cost Of life or money. He made Lecomp-
ton his headquarters, Shannon. Oliver,
Whitfield. Stringfellow and others were
in council. directing all his movements,
and intending to get up some foray just on
the verge of the examination by the
Washington committee, to prejudice them
against the squatters of the territory
! Shannon sent to Leavenworth for troops
to assist Jones in making his arrests, and
about four O'Clock in the afternoon yes
terday, he rode into town at the head ol
ten or twelve dragons. fully armed
Wood, and those he came particularly to
arrest, were not in town, and were advis-
ed to leave. to prevent and avoid Difficult
ty at that time. But they soon found
twelve others whom they arrested and
marched through the streets under guard
of U. 8. Dragons, like culprits. Many
OF our people were very indignant atthis
still they were arrested and taken to the
-Goom prepared for them without the least
resistance, and even one U. $. officer with
such instructions as they have, could have
accomplished the same, for we will never
resist the authority and arms of the
U. S. As night came on, however,
feared there would be further disturbance
still, we expected nothing more serious
than abusing Jones. or something of the
kind. But. unfortunately for US, some
desperate whose impulses were beyonc
control, shot Jones as be was sitting in {
tent occupied by the dragons; but M
trace can be found, or any evidence, tt

confession to make, but the Democracy
--or what ought to be the Democracy
in those States, is at this time generally
defeated by Black Republicanism; or is
disofga1ized by Freesoilism within its
own ranks.-There are thousands, Of
course, who have not bowed the knee to

Pittsburg and Chicago Railroad.


The Legislation necessary to consoli-
dation of Ohio & Pennsylvania, Ohio &
Indiana, and Fort Wayne & Chicago
Railroad Companies into one, has been
secured in the four several States through
which it will pass, and the preliminary
arrangements for its consummation have
already been made
w. B, Ogden. Esq, and Dr. Evans
have just returned from meeting of the
Board of the Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad Company, where a resolution
was passed in favor of the measure, and
committee appointed consisting of J.
K. Edg gerton, President, and Judge Hanna,
of Fort Wayne, A. s. Wheeler. Of Ply
mouth, Ind, and Messrs Ogden and
Evans of Chicago to meet similar Com
mittees. to agree upon the details Of said
consolidation.
The Ohio and Pennsylvania road is
1877 miles long-extending from Pitts
burgh Pa, to Crestline. Ohio Tho Ohio
and Indiana road is l3l miles long from
Crestline to Fort Wayne Ind. and the
Fort Wayne and Chicago road is lat
miles long all of which, when consoli-
dated, will make road of 465 miles. on
the most direct and practicable route be-
tween Pittsburgh and Chicago, and al
most on an air line between Chicago and
Philadelphia and when the New Jersey
!, Central road is extended to Harrisburg
| it will be the shortest practicable route to
New York city-being at least 100 miles
shorter than any route at present tray
eled.
The Fort Wayne and Chicago road will
soon be finished to Plymouth. Ind, where
it crosses the Laporte and Peru road.
which will give temporary connection
with Chicago while the remaining portion
is being completed. Although the re-
.maining portion of the road to Pittsburgh
is all completed now, the great advantage
of the Fort Wayne and Chicago road as
affording the most direct through line to
Cleveland and to Buffalo by the Lake
Shore. when the Fort Wayne, Tiffin and
New London road is completed, making
it double thoroughfare to Fort Wayne !;
secures it very great value, and must Sc
cure it the means Of an early completion

greater strength Of position, are strong
arguments for the proposed consolidation.
