BLooDy AFFRAy IN MrNNEsorA.--A deadly aiirly
occurred near the capitol, on Wednesday last,
between Joseph Cooper and James M. Goodhue,
arising out oi an article upon the Hon. Judge
Cooper, published by the atIsr, in the last issue Of
the Pi0nesr. Aroused TO uncomfortable indis-
nation by the attack upon his absent brother, Mr..
Cooper determined 10 inhct severe ch istisemeat
upon the editor. Hearing Of this, MIR. Goodhue
purchased pistols, and loaded them al one Of the
stores in this place. Mr.. Cooper also armed him
SELF and, about noon they met on the street, near
the capitol Mr. Cooper demanded the reason for
the attack on his brother, aud was answered by
Mr.. Coodhue's drawing pistol, and presenting
it, His opponent drew revolver, and bade him
stand, or he would shoot The matter having
attracted general atention, other persons came up
and demand wa' made for Their weapons. Mr.
Cooper yielded his re idily, bat Mr., Goodhue did
not seem inclined 20 do SO, and, in tho scuiile
for the possession Of IL, II went OIL, the ball
almost grazing the head OF Mr.. William IL.
Randall, who was endcavonng TO secure H.
Mr.. Cooper then made pass at Gooihue, but cid
not blt him in consequence OF slipping upon a stone
Goodhue fell, and Mr.. Cooper was bending
over him, and held by two persons who gfasped
him by the arms, the former rose upon one knee,
drew another pistol and fired IT, The ball entered
MIR. Coopers side, just above the crown Of the hip
bone. Exclaiming that he was shot, he broke
from those who held him, and drawing a knife,
pursued Mr. Goodhue, who was IN iui retreat
On com M up with MIR. Goodhue, that individual
ran behind one OF the bystanders for protection,
but MIR. Cooper reaching around this person ia
fiicted two wounds, one ia the abdomen, aud the
other IN the back near the side; both very severe
and dangerous. While aiming another blow, Mr..
Cooper was again seized and, becoming weak from
bis wound, fell, and was carried into Mr.. Master
sons office, whence he was conveyed to the DWELL
ing ofMr III. M. Rice, near by, where he now lies.
Mr.. Goodhue was taken to the office Of MIR. VIM.
u. PHILIPPE. and thence TO hs own dwelling. Dfs.
Rich and Dewey were promptly on the SPOT, aud
soon after Dr. McLaren. from Fort Sneling. and
Dr. Potts, were in attendance, all ct whom minis
tered tn the HuilprpTq. I1rS. MrIareu and HtCh
made an examination OF MIR Coopers wound. and
asceriained that II was simple injury of tn flesh,
the bail having passed around, and lodged in the
muscle ~ the back, without cutting or iGiurng any
oftbe tendons or nerves, or touching the spine. IL
is in no degree dangerous. MIR Goodhue's wounds
were al first considered mortal, but he ia now pro-
nounoed out of danger, aud is rapidly recovering

Contemplated Library for Liberia.

Y
The following brief memorial, addressed to
Congress by the Rev. Mr.. Gsriey, whose report to
the goverEmt nj on the condition and prospects OF
that young republic has been noticed, we publish
with pleasure. II will be seen that Mr.. Gurey
hopes, should Congress grant his request, TO OBJ
tain additional and valuable contributions of books
from the State legislatures and from generous in-
divituals. When il is considered how important
to the government and people OF Liberia would be
good public library, and how unable they at this
moment ere TO afford the means of securing it, we
think an earnest and successful appeal Tor good
and great an object may be made TO the govern
ment and people of these United States. Such a
library would be light TO the whole western
coast OF Africa II would send its rays far into the
interior, and would prove among the most efficient
means OF the civilization of that continent. Let
Congress, BY joint resolution, or IN some other
way, make the donation des sired, and we presume
several OF the European governments will initiate
the example. We can hardly think that a solitary
member of either house of Congress will hesitate
to give his vote for une exceptonable and benei-
cent an object.
To The .qonorde The Senate o7d House Of Rsprssntapes
ofthe Congress Of m. United States.
The undersign fully rspretents that during
bis recent visit under the authority of the late Pres
dent OF the United States to the republic OF Liberia
he became deeply imp essed with ths vast i'm
both to the government and people Of that republic,
OF public library, to be preserved In Monrova, the
the capital; and he promised the authorities there
(who then requested him. and since have we'd the
request to represent their condition and necessities
to the government and people OF ths United state 10
do all in his power to persuade Congress- the several
state Legislatures and generous ctSsns Of this ia
vored country to aid by donations of books in
ing in Liberia library OF sufficient extent to be OF
great and permanent advantage. The uudsrsignsd
respectfully but earnestly prAys Congress, in
such manner and on such conditions a, in its
wisdom shall best, TO grant to the govern
ment Of Liberis q set OF such books and pub.
lie documents as have from time e time been
published By it's order to form the comm sncem
public library to be preserved and increased through
all time, in the capital and for the benent OF that
public And since ofportunities for Going good an
prsys that this grant may be AIDE during the present
session.
With the highest consideration and respect he has
the honor to subscribe himself

CENSUS sTATIsTICs OF THE osio MINERAL REGION
ITS GROWTH AND' TOWNS.
Our fourth section view Of Ohio includes what il
called the Mineral Region We must prennse
that this does not mean the whole Mineral Region
OF Ohio, by any means On the contrary, that
runs in broad belt from the OHIO river to Lake
Erie, and is everywhere full of mineral produc-
tions of tAo richest quality. We can give brief
particular cection we are about to describe
The coal aeld Of Ohio anderlies the surface Of
about 2S coanties, extending from little east ol
Portsmouth to the Ohio, east, and Lake Erie north,
miles. A comparison OF this field with some Of
those IN Europe, will but illustrate its magnitude
and value:-
Coal field of Ohio. $4,000 square miles,
Do. Great Britain. $50 do.
10 10. france e......''.' l,7i9 do
Do Belgium. 5l8 do
the workable coal Geld Of Ohio, Ohio has about
enc tenth Of the workable coal fields Of the now
United States She has coal enough to supply all
the ires and machinery of the United States and
The question of amount, therefore, is of no conse-
aaence, when we have amount enough to supply
The Iron Field is much narrower. but still osa
Of great magnitude. 1t extends from the Ohio
river to Lake Erie, and from Brush creek, in the
county OF Adams, to the counties of Meigs anA
Muskingum, and is found in various form,-frcn
the varieties Of lime-ores to the bog ores found
chiefly near the lake. The workable strata, how
ever, is much narrower, and with the exception OF
some works in Licking Lake, Nc., is chiefly con-
fined to the counties of Scioto, Lawrence, Jackson.
and Hooking.
The Saliferous Region adjoins the Iron Field
east, ana is also very extensive. Salt water has,
indeed, been found in many parts of Ohio, but thu
locality in which the water is strong enough to be
profitable is comparatively small la the early set
tlement OF the State, salt water found in Trum-
bull county, by Gen. Parsons, out the salt-making
is confined chiefly TO Muskingum, Morgan, Atheas
and Meigs counties.
The mineral region, as it is generally termed.
referring to that which unItes all the minerals of
Ohio and il chiefly valuable for that species OF 70
sources, consists Of the Hooking valley, and the
lower part ef the Muskingum valley, and so We
shah consider it. We shall include ihe couaty al
Monroe in this section, both because is waterrd
by the branches OF the Little Mussingum, aud be-
cause il contains both iron and coal.
Below are the counties, population and growth
OF this section. IL has been said, IN reference -
our article on the ScIoto valley that Jackson
ty belonged to that valley. so 1t does, in oas
sense; but il belongs TO the mineral region more.
The county OF Adams, on the other hand, brloags
more to the Scioto than TO any other district, and
the exchange was, therefore, sufficiently CT
and more convenient our purpose:
