GENERAL Taylor 0UTBoEE:-The press
had good deal of fun at the expense of
Zachary Taylor, because, in his Presiden-
tial message, he said, among other things:
1--WE are at peace with all the world, and
seek to maintain our cherished relations with
the rest Of mankind" Considering that
Zachary had seen more service in the field
than in the council chambers of the nation,
some allowance should have been made for
the Generals blundeF. But what must We
think of such a scholar as James Buchan-
an perpetrating a bull equally as ridiculens
as Zschary's. The President, it seems,

concluding portions as might be needed
The chapter was very ingeniously written,
and concluded by leaving the principal
character. suspended by the pantaloons from.
the. limb of a treeToye a perpendicular
precipice. It attracted the attention of the.
press, and inquiries began to be made con-
cerning the continuation of the fate of its
hero: Day after day the 'victimized pub
fishers looked for the remaining chapters,
but in vain. They never came to hand
Finding that they had been sold, and wish

We published yesterday dispatch sent TO Nash
VILE paper by the cold boy" Of the Journal for the
purpose of influencing the Tennessee election. Here
s another of the sort from the NsshVills Ban
ner Of Wednesday last:
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 2, 1859.
On, J. D KELLY: News cheering Result doubt
full. Win send definite results when received.
PRENTICE.
Well, now. Is the news cheering to Bell And is
the result doubtful? Poor Bell if be is cheered by
such news as is pouring in from every part of the
State from morn till night and If be really consid-
ers the result doubtful, We truly pity him. He must
be man Of much hope and easy to cheer.
We wonder if the "old boy" Of the JOuraaI has
yet sent the definite results recevedl He has GER
tAinly been able by this time to figure out Bells de-
feat by something like 1000. IL may be, however
that he has not the heart to add up the figures he
gets We should not think he could add them up,
sfter inducing those who had any confidence in his
Judgment or his words to believe that Bell stood the
hest chance to be elected His dispatches, hereafter
will have about much influence abroad IS his
predictions OF home where he is known.-LOuisUiLle

The Election.

The vote Of the State viii, we think, prove to be
much the largest ever east. The Democracy have
given Gov. HAMS the largest vote they evsr gave
to any cAndidsts: largely exceeding his vote two
ysArs ago, and even exceeding the vets given for
BuoHAzAx in 1856. From present indications, We
think the majority fer HARRIS will not vary nate
rally from that received BY BuoHAHAs in 1866
say fsOn 1000 to 1900 We fear we have less
HA1uEs, snIrH AID SAVAGE, for Congress- We
think the Democratic msjoriiy in the Legislature
win be from six TO tweve-say. from one to three in
the Senate, sad from I've to nine in the House.

TOBACCO IN MONTGOMERY CoURTY.-Mr. P. O.
NEAL writes TO the Louisville Journal under date Of
the 2sth ult., of the tobacco crop in Montgomery
county in this State, as follows: n.
The plants we're unusually early this spring. L an
of opinion that nearly one half of the crop was
planted on the 18th and 18th of May. We hsd q
Zoe season, and plenty of plants up to the 23d Of
June; after that lime those who failed to prepare
their land and plant have had to plant, as
we have had no rain since the 18th of June TO do
any good until the 9th inst. The wsather has
been very dry and bet, and the plants put out the
18th and 18th of May just getting into the top, and
that planted later has barely begun to grow, but the
fine rain yesterday morning, if followed by more in
a short time, will bring the crops out. We have,
suppose, full average crop planted; IL We have q
good season from this time and frost keeps off We
will make o full crop.

Victor Emanuel and Louis NaPoleOn--Th

Victor Emanuel and Louis NaPoleOn-sThe
Italians and the French.
N. GIL11ARDEr, the Paris correspondent Of the
New York Courier des Etats Unis. and one Of the
best informed of the writer's for the American press
ascrbes the reoent peace, among other things, to
serious misunderstanding between NAPOLEON and
VIcroR EMANUn. The latter felt offended because
his personal CALAMITY and that Of his army, at the
battle of Paeslro, we're not noticed in NAPeLEoN's
order Of the day. His anger was SO great that at
the battle Of Magenta he delayed to occupy the po
sition assigned him, and left the Imperial Guard to
sustain for two hours, unsupported, the shock Of
the Austrian army He nearly lost the battle by his
delay, aud the Emperor did not hesitate to charge
him with l., as he believed it was done on purpose.
The King Of Piedmont became 50 distTustful that
whtn Napoleon announced the hour for enterir z
Milan id triumph, he was Ct the place two hours
ahead of time, fearing that the French Emperor
would make the entry alone. These details came
from Victor manuel himself, who told them in
conversation with one of the directors of the Lom-
bard railroad.
NJ. GaiIliardet writes also that although the Mi
lsnese hailed the advent Of French with enihu-
siasm the reception became colder as they psDetrat
ed Lombardy When the Austriaus approached
Brescs after the battle Of Soferino the Inhabitants
replaced the Austrian n3gS, WhiCo kept 1u re-
serve. In the country the peasAntry showed no
good will to the French soldiers In spite OF the
talk about enthusiasm Of the ItSlian PATRIOTS there
were very few enlistments-except five six thous-
and patriots, mostly exiles, under GAilbaldi. The
population did not rise and take arms ss the procla-
nation of Napoleon invited them to do. On the
other hand, the Lombard troops in the Austrian
army we're faithful to their colors: and il was the
regiments almost exclusively Italian that fought
most desperate against the French at Marignsn.
1t was only when vanqushed and about to be crush
ed that they cried EvrIsG Italia, in order to get
quarter. aU
While the peasantry cursed the liberstiDg army,
the shop-keepers and traders Of Piedmont made
spoil of its necessities charging shameless prices
for every thing. Count Cavour was counterscting
the policy Of Napoleon, inviting instruction every
whore, while the French Emperor was aVoWedly re-
pressing it. Peace was made from q sentiment Of
disrusL toward the King and Ministry of Piedmont,
and Of disgust at the conduct Of the people, who
little appreciated the sacrifices and devotion Of the
allies. rr
The Paris correspondent Of the London Globe
says: "It is now formally announced that neither
VIoTOE EMANUEL nor any responsible Minister of
Sardinia signed any paper at Villafraucs, save and
except the armisce which continues 10 the 18th Of
August. Austria and Sardinia are still in q con-
structive state Of open war; no peace terms haTing
yet been accepted as between these two bellige-
rents"

Reforms in the Post office Department

Reforms in the Post office Department.
The Washington cOrrespon lent Of the Philads-
phis Norh american in recent letter TO that Journal
SAYS EThe reductions in the mail service the
country, whichtie Postmaster General has power to
make under provision 10 all contracts, except that
for the overland route from which it strangely
excluded, though involving gross expenditure of
s., 600, 600, exclusive of interest, nearly
completed, aud The figures will be brought together
this month, 80 that the public may understand what
has been accomplished. The work has gone on
quietly, but efsetually, without discrimination in
favor of any section or interest," but in pursuance Of
an equitable system established by Mr.. HOLT.
Though some Of the accustomed m4il facilities,
many Of Whieh had been unduly enlarged, have
been ourtailed, no serious complaint has been
mads that the public interests have suffered,
and the contractors and others, from whom most
clamor was anticipated have submitted uneom-
plsiuiugly to the duty imposed upon the De-
partment To perform this irksOme task without
an outburst of indignation required TACT resolution
and clear comprehension Of all the complications.
The Postmaster General, and the Assistant upon
whom the practical execution Of this duty devolved,
have cause of cOngratuls!ion in g success which
was by no means expected in any qusrter-not
even in the Department itself This retrenchment
may cover Q couple Of millions, and Mr.. HOLr will
then submit the question distinctly to Congress,
whether the service shall be conducted on such q
basis as he shall propose, or be dependent upon
regular OF capriciOus legislation hereafter"

table at which he sat He heard others, Who re-
lated the insulting words with which he had been
ssssiled ty the pOpulace, sympathising with tie
feeling which had dictated those words, and only
pleading their innocence Of the transactions Of their
sovereign. The reVuIsiOn was so sudden and blast
