Trouble Ahead.
The New York Commercial, Republican


radical as it is, sees breakers ahead.
We regret (says the EDITOR to have to con.
fess that zoe see nothing but trouble and eptl
IN The future Of our country. The people,
from one end of the country to the other,
They hare beiieUed that ViOlence could re-
store he Union To attain this cherished
object they have advocated war, and have
permitted and applauded the violation of the
most important principles Of Our C1nstltu-
ton, and of the inherent rights of the peo-
pie, which these principles shielded and pro-
tected. They have been led to believe that
the rise of price caused by the use of Vi.
cious currency, daily fuctuating in value,
and therefore unfit for the purposes of com
merce and industry, augmented their wealth!
They have onsented-nay, urged the impo-
sition Of the most oppressive, the most cost
y, and the most vicious systems Of taxation,
after these had been condemned by every
intelligent mind in Europe, where these sys-
TENS have been tried and abandoned. They
have been led to believe that the national
debt, which mortgages the entire property OF
the country, as well us the future products
of its labor, was blessing to the people and
an addition to their wealth. They have
been led to believe that placing distractions
to the exchanges of commodities with for.
eign countries was beneficial to the industry
of the country, and that the enlargement Of
the powers of the Federal Government at
the expense of those of the States ind Of
the individuals that compose them, was neccs,
sary and advantageous. They overlook the
corrupting effect Of our miserable political
parties, of the vast increase of Federal pat
ronage, and the important fact that no poo
pie deprived Of individual liberty have ever
long been prosperous and happy. The self
deception which induces our people to shut
their eyes to these great truths prevents
them from profiting by the dear-bought ex'
perience OF other nations, and will force
them to acquire knowledge through the bit
ter fruits Of the erroneous measures to which
they have resorted to to meet present emery
encies,
Nothing but a total change IN The policy 3,
orr Government can SAGE as from future
e0iiS 4f great magnitude. Have we su0
cient intelligence in the country to discover
this, and sufficient talent and courage ia
apply the proper remedy?

Visit OF OLD Nick To KENTUcKY.-If we
can believe an affidavit, got up i'll the usual
form and duly sworn to as represented, the
citizens of Bracken county. Kentucky, have
had a recent visit from the arch fend in
person. He appeared in several places. and
in several shapes, but the following de
scription, given by one Nathaniel Squres.
furnishes general idea of what the " old
boy" is like:
Standing to the right of the upper cabin,
near the fence that separates the negroes
garden from the house yard, was creature
of gigantic stature and the most horTfying
appearance. 1t was nearly as high as the
comb of the cabin. and had m0nstrous
head, not dissimilar in shape to that of an
ape two short, very white horns appeared
above each eve; its arms were long, covered
with shaggy hair of an ashy hue, and ter
minated with huge paws, not unlike those
of cat, and armed with long and huge
claws. It's breast was like that of large
sized OK. Its legs resembled the front legs
of n horse. only the hoofs were cloven. 1t
had long tail, armed with dart shaped
horn, which it was continually switching
about. Its eyes glowed like two living Goals
of fire, while from its nostrils were emitted
sheets of blush eolored fame, with a hiss
ing sound like the kissing of a serpent, only
thousand.fold louder Its general color,
save its arms, was dali, dingy brown
The air was powerfully impregnated with a
smell of burning sulphur tof course.) The
poor negroes were evidently laboring under
the EXTREMIST terror. and two Of them-an
old woman and a lad-were actually driven
to insanity by their fears, and have not
recovered their reason up to this writing
/ do not know how long this monster.
demon or devil was visible after we reached
the windows-possibly some three seconds.
When it vanished it was enveoped in a
spiral column of flame that reached to near
ly to the tops of the locust trees adjacent
and which hid his horrid form completely
from view. The extinction of the flame was
instantaneous, and with its disappearance
we were relieved of the presence Of this re
markable visitor"

EXTRAORDINARY WEDDING-A most sin
gular and novel marriage occurred in this
city on Monday evening, March 9TH, 1866,
and as the matter has become more or less
subject of public conversation, we are con.
strained To give our readers the benefit Of
the story. 1t seems that Mr.. Robert An
derson, an employee of the Wheeler and
Wilson Manufacturing Company bad for
some time been affanced to young lady by
the name of Miss Hannah Bartlett, and all
that remained to make thea the happiest
mortals IN the world, was to mutually agree
on the day the all important event should
take place. This was the sticking point,
for while the enamored swain was eager
for the event, his intended fei; disposed not

all acqualntances and intimate friends,
among the rest her betrothed. Having
been all welcomed, they set about their
preparations for good time. Cnnver-
satlon, music. and song having had their
turn, it was proposed to have tableaux.
which was Immediately unanimously agreed
to; the lady was selected TO represent the
character of purity, and, as if by magic, an
elegant white dress was forthcoming, IN
which she was induced to attire herself. a
mock marriage was then proposed, and it
was agreed that this fair lady and her
affianced would be the most proper persons
to figure in this seeming by play What
was to be done for bridal veil, was the
next consideration, and some one instantly
produced the desired article. All was now
in readiness, save some one 10 oficiate. and
just as the party was about to despair on
this head, no one being willing then to fill
the place Of priest, the Rev. Mr.. Simmons
