MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
4 Nan Disenton1Jed Altre after Twenty
tlUo Hours BtrlaL IN Ltvtng Tomb.

The most remarkable case of pre-
servatIon from extreme peril that We
ever had occasion to record occurred
IN the town of Amherst, Portage
county, on Sunday last, 22d inst.)
The facts as we CLEAN them are these:
MIR. Nm. Buhe, German farmer, liv-
ing two miles east of Amherst village,
has been for some time past engaged
in digging we'll on his premises
At the depth Of IS feet he encounter
ed the bedrock, and after experding
a large quantity Of powder, With little
effect, on the solid granite. he aband-
oned the shaft and commenced sinking
a new one in a more promising local
itv. As Is the common practice IN
digging wells through the loose drift
of this region, he had protected the
original we'll by wooded curbing, be-
ing pieces of plank placed transverse
Iy and SO contrived as 10 resist consd-
cradle pressure.
On Thursdy morning Mr.. Buhe was
engaged in removing the curbing and
filing NJ the old well, and commenc-
ing at the bottom had filled up II
feet His brother was at the top Of
the shaft assisting in drawing up the
rIanks. The work-men at the bot
tom had withdrawn about four feet Of
the curhing and commenced drawing
the earth from the sides. when the
one at the top saw him in the dim
light below spring to the ladder-and
heard him calculate. :" Oh Christ =
when he was intercepted from view bv

nate man was buried 10 feet under

all caved in except % feet at the top,
and the wretched excavator lay crush.
ed and apparently lifeless at the bot
tom. The workman at work at the
top Of the shaft was horror stricken
and paralyzed. The idea of rescue
does not seem TO have entered the
mind. and during all day Thursday not
a spade was driven into the ground
not an effort made TO exhum- the bur

tidings of the affair had gone abroad
and some energetic citizens Of Am

From the Chicago Journal, 2Sth.
The Copperhead party has long boasted
ofbeing a law abiding party, par ercettence.
Its leading members are vehement IN
their denunciatlons of what they term
radical ursurpatiops, and meltlngly
eloquent in their eulogles upon ''constl-
tutional protection" peace policies,
illegal rights" and other great princi-
Piles" which are claimed to be the chief
corner stones in their platform. History,
however, is repiete with facts and Incl
dents which show clearly differently inter-
prcted. according to varying circumstan-
cesand that those persons who pirate about
the majesty of the law are often the
most willing to override it for the
sake of accomplishing se6sh and partisan
ends. A striking Illustration ofthls kind
of copperhead hypocrisy occurred last
night in the Eighth ward, where republl-
can meeting was broken up bya miserable
mob of bloodthlrsty cops, one man
being killed and several others seriously
wounded. The particulars OF this dis
graceful affair, as we have obtained them
from reliable parties who were eyewlt-
nesses of the scene, are as follows:
II appears that meeting had been
called for last evening, by direction of the
Central Committee. to organize a Tanner
Club in the Eighth Ward The meeting
was to De llcii in large hall located at
No 3Sl Blue Island Avenue, and all
necessary arrangements for holding a
,uiet, ordery meeting were made. Hon.
" B. Judd, John Pope Hodnett, Esq. ,
| and other republican speakers were
iuvited to address the meeting, aud as a
cry large proportion of the residents of
hat ward are Of Irish birth or parentage,
the meeting was called an Irish
Republican meeting. When the hour
for the meeting had arrived. Mr.. Hodnett
and several prominent republicans of the
Sixth. Seventh and Eighth Wards
proceeded to the hall, which had been
lighted for them, and took possession,
expecting, of course, that the meeting
would be quiet, if not large, one. II
| had been arranged THAI the organizat tion
known as the Irish Republican Tanners
would convene at an early hour at the
head quarters, and macrh with lighted
torches to Its hall, and participate in the
meeting. While waiting for the arriva
of the club, Company A of tn White

A Kentucky Unionist writes to the

Cincinnati Commercial as follows:
''You men of the North, Conservatives
and War Democrats, may believe that
the threats of revolution and rebellion in
the South are idle. You are mistaken.
All over Kentucky, nearly, bands OF
Confederates are organizing, holding
secret night sessions and praying that the
election of Seymour may give them the
opportunity of overturning the Southern
State Governments and driving the Union
men from the country The rebel spirit
is rife in the land. You have the decid-
ing votes. IF you elect Seymour, such a
torrent of wild rebellion will be set in
motion as will startle you- IF you elect
Seymour, hundreds OF Union men, who
have stood by the old flag in the hour of
danger, and have hazarded their lives
for the Government. will be driven by
prosecutions, by cruelty, by rebel nlalig-
nifty, from Kentucky. to find home
elsewhere We pray God that you may
stand by US now. 1t is our only help.
IF Grant is elected we can prosper in
peace and live as we wish to live. for these
men will not dare to produee discord with
his hand at the helm. Do not desert
lus."
