a FIEND IN HrNAN SHApE.-The Roches

a FIEND IN HUMAN SHApE.-The Roches-
ter Union of Friday gives an account of the
narrow escape of a mail train, filled with
passengers, from being thrown from the
track on the Auburn division of the New
York Central railroad, and down an en-
bankment, in consequence of fend in hui
man shape, named Wright, having placed
one of the heavy 7 rails alongside OF the
track in such position as must necessarily
result in a crash up Fortunately, the
scoundrel was seen, and the rail removed in
time for the train to pass. Wright was ar
rested, and laid his crime to bad liquor
When taken to Pittsfield, where he was ex-
amined before n justice, the excitement
against him was so great that it was pro-
posed to hang him, but better counsels pre-
vailed. The proof against him is strong,
and he will be punished to the extent OF
the law.

Gay~ The Kansas Constitution, though
radically anti-savery, is not SO much so as
the one framed at Leavenworth, as it does
not extend the right of suffrage to negroes.
The seat of government is to be located
temporarily at Topeka. II is believed that
the Democrats will strongly oppose the Con-
stitution when il is submitted 10 the people
for ratification, as they have been defeated
in the Convention in their efforts TO include
the gold region and the Platte district with

m. I..iian Union.

II is proposed tnat the Italian States shall
form Q commercial union, like the German
Zollverein, which has Contributed so essen
TALLY to- the agricultural, manufacturing, and
commercial prosperity Of the German State.
(" Notwithstanding the despotism that rules
iu many of the States, the German Empire
has grown into immense popularity by her
tree commercial union. To Prussia the
credit of this great measure is due, and she
has reaped the oenedt of it more than any
other German State Before the formation
of the Zollverein on every few miles of the
roads tolls were levied, every canal, every
river, and every frontier of every State,
large or small, was lined with custom-housc
officers, and to say nothing of the enormous
expense of that system, such were the vexa-
tious restrictions that the trade and com.
merce of the whole country were crippled
By league of the States of Northern and
Southwestern Germany, these obstruction:
have been swept away, and between those
States trade is now as free as it is between
the several States of the American Union
! One uniform tariff on foreign goods is eStab'
lished, and each State receives its fair pro-
portion of the revenue. This commercial
league has given Prussia such political
preponderance in Germany that she is nt
| longer second to Austria. and has the cour-
age TO throw down the gauntlet even TO
| France.
A similar league in Italy, in which Sar-
DINA, the Northern and vigorous power OF
the confederation, would preponderate
would produce similar effects upon the Ital
ian States, and particularly upon Sardini;
herself. There is no country in Europe bet
ter adapted by nature for agricultural, man
ufacturing, and commercial pursuits thar
Italy, and the sources of vast wealth III
within her own bosem, and in the numerous
harbors of her peninsular coast. All sh'
wants for its development is peace and re
pose, and a political and commercial unioi
which will make her internal trade free, re
vive and protect her foreign commerce, ant
link all her children together in bonds of
common nationality. Whatever people may
say Of Louis Napoleon, if he has done thi
for Italy, il is more than has been done TO
her for thousand years.

aeA. \ correspondent gives an account of
a practical joke played upon fugitive
couple OF lovers, who were escaping from
the veto of an memorable parent, which, ii
brought to the knowledge of the law Off
GERS, might prove dangerous and costly fun.
An ardent and youthful couple came on
board a steamer, at Hawesville, Ky, pro-
fessedly for an excursion down the river
The young gentleman, soon after getting
fixed, began an enquiry for clergyman
or n Kentucky magistrate among the pas
sengers. An impromptu parson was soon
found by the lovers of fun on board, who
volunteered to give the legal sanction to the
banns forbidden 10y the obdurate parents.
The ceremony was performed with due
sOlemnity before an assembled crowd Of
passengers, and the fond couple passed the
evening in an ecstacy Of happiness, in which
the whole company seemed, BY their hearty
congratulations, to synpathize. The lovers
had entered their state-rooln, and were
about retiring, when the Captain, thinking
the joke had proceeded far enough, inter
vened and revealed the imposition, in time
to prevent any actual damages. The morti-
fed bride bid her chagrin and disappoint-
ment in bushes, and the rage of the infuri.
afed grOomsman vented itself in profane
anatbsrna5 and a fruitless search for the
fictitious clergyman, who had sloped. The
next day the matter was legally and ecclesi.
astically consummated, and the runaway.
went home to sac for a pardon which they
knew could not long be denied.

GUBERSAT0RIAL CANDIDATES.-The Sulli-
van Democrat, an independent and honest
democratic sheet, has the subjoined remarks
upon the inconsistency of those who attempt
TO support the aspirations of Hendricks, and
at the same time profess to be ardent friends
Of Judge Douglas and defenders Of his plat
form Of principles. II says:
The feeling for Douglas Is 50 strong in
this State, that the man who Is for his nOfni-
nation at Charleston, md has supported him
during the past two years, stands tile best
chance with the mass Of the party. Well
knowing this, the friends Of MeBsrs. Dun
ham and Hendricks are laboring earnestly
10 prove that their man is the Douglas can
ddate. In this race Hendricks has rather
got the inside track Of Durham, and many
indiscreet friends of Douglas are already
shouting for him as The Anti-Lecompton
| Douglas candidate.
The truth Is, both of theseigentlemen sus-
tanned the Lecompton policy of the Admin
istration, and how our friends can claim Mr.
| ii. rs an especial favorite, while he has and
still holds an important offices.under Mr.. Blu
chanan, is more than we can imagine. The
nomination OF Mr.. H. would he queer
Douglas triumph We do not wish in these
remarks to he understood as Directing TO
him or Mr.. Durham. Either of them we
consider well qualified for the office, and
shall warmly support il nominated But
we do object TO claiming any such mcn ms
the especial Douglas candidate. If such are
the champions, Douglas timber must be
scarce. Such parades of his name and such
n prostitution of his influence will weaken the
cause of the Little Giant more than any
thing else

a Card.
EVANSVILLE, Aug. 5, 49,

EVANSVILLE, Aug. 5, 1859.
EDITOR JouasAL-Sr: notice in your
paper this morning paragraph accredited
to the New Albany Ledger, in which it is
stated that DR.. Kennedy's patent for i'm
provements in tan-yards has been in use by
the tanners of that city for thirty years.
cannot conceive what could have induc-
ed the Ledger to give currency to such state
ments, which have no foundation in truth
whatever. The right to use Dr. Kennedy's
patent was purchased last spring by J. II.
Car6well, Of New Albany, as will he seen
by the following certificate:
New ALBANY, June IL, 1859.
d. H. KENNEDY,
Dear ST: Since have purchased the
right for your Improvement, | can more
readily give it my recommend ltiol. IL is,
beyond doubt, great labor and money saw
ing improvement; and ut this Gay is almost
wholly indispensable. Its great advantages,
after trial of two years, though without
authority from you, furnishes our reason for
purchasing it, and the best recommendation
in our power. With this expression of our
opinion, remain Yours, truly,
J. III. CARDWELL.
OF course it is not to be supposed that
Mr.. Cardwell would purchase the right TO
use an invention which he and his neigh
bors had been using for thirty years.
Now, Mr.. Editor, beg leave to say that
many of the tanners of your own city are
using DR.. Kennedy's patent which they
purchased the right to use during the Doc
tors late visit to your city. Such gentle
men as Mr.. A. Refs, Mr.. Jacob Fleming,
Messrs. Bement viele, Messrs. Kerth &
Krause, and Mr.. Victor Bisch, have tested
the invention and given certificates as to its
usefulness and necessity. The patent has
also baeu examined by two of your most
eminent attorneys, Nj. s. Johnson, Esq, and
Judge Baker, who have given writer
opinion that persons infringing the patent
are liable to prosecution for damages.
The extract which appeared in your col
umns, from the New Albany paper, if no
contradicted, is calculated to do me grea
injury; /, therefore. ask the insertion OF
this card. Very respectfully,
A. Ii. REYNOLDS.

Valley and Southeastern Illinois, informs us
that through all the river bottoms the

good crop is rs promising as the farmers
have had in several years. If other portions
of the West shall have poor crops, most OF

gay- Sam. Houston, in his last vagary,
has become a most extravagant eulogist of
Buchananism. The New Orleans Picayne,
in describing what it calls political phe-
nomenon, says; ..s..-,, 49, .---
The successive elections throughout the
United States have not elected anywhere
such another lofty enlogium on the wisdom
of the Administration and the character Of
Mr.. Buchanan, as that with which Sam.
Houston opened the political campaign at
Nacogdoches, on the 9th ult. His opposition
20 Mr.. Buchanan and the Cincinnati Plat
forra he explains on the ground that he was
not satisfied that they did not favor the
"squatter sovereignty heresy, which is
just now the object of special denunciation
by both parties in Texas; and he plants
himself on the basis of opposition to squat
ter sovereignty, on the doctrines of the
bred Scott decision, and the support of the
administration of Mr.. Buchanan.
These are strengthened for the political
canvass by charging his adversaries with
GOODNESS to the President, support of the
African slave trade, and, by the usual dec
larations in such cases, of being nullifers,
| secessionits, disunionists. He (Sam Hous-
ton, is the true, untanted and implacable
democrat-the champion of the South and
| of the Union.
