NASHVILLE CAsUALTIEs.-We copy the fol-
lowing occurrences from the Ga=etie of last
Sunday
DEPLoRABLE FATAL OccURRENcE.-Our
citizens were yesterday morning startled by
the announcement :hat.Mr. E. c. Glasgow, a
young man of unexceptionable character, had
met his death on Friday night by falling from
the Suspension Bridge, and striking upon the
rocks belo $ the bluff on this side of the river.
Hundreds repaired to the scene of death where
Law the mangled remains of the Unfortunate
youth, awaiting the inquest of the CoroneT's
Jury. 1t seems that Mr.. Glasgow and a friend
had walked to the bTidge-Glasgow took a seat
on the railing, and waited the return Of his
friend, who had gone midway the bridge to see
a steamboat, Just then coming up. When be
returned be found that young Glasgow had
gone, and becoming alarmed, Gearing that be
had fallen in the river he went to the house
Of Hart, Mscrae & Co., where Mr.. Glasgow
was employed, and made known his apprehen-
sion. The light Of day but too well confirmed
his fears. There upon the stones, a distance
Of 40 feet from the flooring of the bridge, lay
the dead and horribly mutilated body of his
young friend.
The Coroner Of the county arrived at 0
O'Clock yesterday morning, and Immediately
proceeded with his official duties. The verdict
of the jury was to the effect that the deceased
was killed by accidentally falling from the
bridge.
BLOODY AFFAIR.-We learn that on Friday
evening last, a difficulty occurred on the ferry
boat at Buena Vista Ferry, a short distance
below the city, between a white mar named
WIN. MCGOWAN, and a negro man named
Charley, the property of Mr.. John Cato.
MCGOWAN stabbed the negro three times, and
afflicted a severe wound upon his head with a
stone. The negro is in a very critical condi-
ton, but we understand the attending physician
does not consider bis wounds mortal.

SAILING OF HowE's AND CUsHING's GREAT
AMERICAN Circus EXHIBITION FOR ENGLAND,
GERMANY mi SwITZERLAND.-The packet
ship Southampton, Capt. Austin, left this port
this forenoon for Liverpool, with Messrs.
Howe's & Cushing's Circus Company. She
was chartered by the Yankee Snowman, and
her freight consists Of one the most exmpensive
exhibition fixtures that has ever crossed the At
lantic Ocean from our country.
The Company consists of about one hundred
persons. Among the performers are twenty
five Of the best equestrians Of the day, includ-
ing ladies' and gentlemen, and a tribe Of indi-
ans from the Gattaragus Reservation. These
savages are TO give exhibitions Of the manners
and customs of their tribe, in connection with
the equestrian entertainments.
Messrs. Myers and Pentland, the popular
clowns, are members Of the company. Upop

highest style Of American art, and drawn by
40 cream-coloTed horses, and % other wagons
containg the dresses and furniture Of the show.

zimmerman, THE MnLIoxARE.-Samuel
Zimmerman, who was killed by the Great Wes-
tern Railroad accident, was a native Of Hun
tington county, Pa, but for some time resided
at Niagara Falls, owns the Clifton Horse, and
at the time Of his death was estimated to be
worth at least 81, 0CO, 900. Mr.. Zimmerman,
less than twenty years ago, worked at his trade,
which, we beliye, was that Of a blacksmith, in
the central part of this State. He, however,
pulled up stakes one fine morning, turned his
face toward the setting sun, and his family in
Pennsylvania lost sight of him entirely. In the
meantime a young brother, by frugality taking
care of his earnings, was enabled to start a
coach line between Spruce Greek and Williams
burg, consisting Of a four wheeled vehicle and
two horses, which he drove himself. Several
years ago a gentleman stopped at Spruce
Creek, and desired to be driven to Williams
burg but, there being no other passenger, the
proprietor of the aforesaid 4" lineo at first OBJ
jected. He, nevertheless, consented, and when
the stranger got out handed him-instead Of
the usual fare, $3-a $500 bill. This began to
open Bil's eyes to the Importance Of bis pas
senger, and he soon discovered that be was no
other than bis brother Sam, so disguised in good
clothes that a thirty miles ride had not unde-
eeived him. Subsequently the now wealthy
banker bought his poorer brother a farm, worth
$4,000, in ~IllinoIb. on which be new resides.-

LegislatiYs CANVAS.

For the Memphis Appeal
MEssRs. EDITORS: In as much as many have
taken In hand to instruct and request the Nom
mating Conventions Of the Democratic party
respecting the men they wish to vote for and
place in a position to carry out the measures
of that long standing organization, may ] not
be permitted to suggest what think would
meet the appreciation of the largest number Of
all parties, and the only names sure Of success.
VIZ. I. AVERY, Gan Old-Line Whig,) bat a
true Southern Rights man, a talented gentle
man, and very popular in the county with
high and low, rich and poor, Democrats, Wings
and Know lettings, for Congress. He would
be sure, l think, of larger vote than any other
nan that can be started, and as the wall be-
tween the Wings and Democrats is now gone,
the equal rights of States and individuals now
demand our attention. l suggest Mr.. DUBosE
for Floater in Shelby, Upton and Fayette coun-
ties. He is a Democrat Of the old school, Gas
the Catholic says of the church, born in the
faith, a good scholar, a popular lawyer, and a
very talented young man and more than that,
a pious Christian maB from a boy, and no doubt
the most popular and deserving young man in
the three counties. His old ~neighbors and
friends OF Big Creek desire and expect his
nomination, and we OF the northern portion Of
Shelby are certainly entitled now to some con-
sideratiOn, never having had a nomination from
our midst heretofore. We want him because
we think he can be elected, sure, and know that
be will reflect honor on the the three counties
that elect him. l further recommend JESSE L.
HARRIS for Representative in the Legislature.
He, too, is a good and faithful Democrat, a
self-msds and talented man, very popular, and
will do his best, if elected, you all know.

New TERRIroRIEs.-We copy the following
article from a recent number of the Philadel-
phis North American:
alt seems probable from present appearances
that the next Congress will pass bills for the
organization of the embryo Territories Of Ne
vada, Dacotah, Arizona and Neosho. When
Minnesota shall be admitted into the Union the
number Of States will be thiTty-two. Oregon
and Washington will raise the number to
thirty-four, and Nebraska and New Msxico to
thirty-six ; and the four new Territories would,
when admitted, increase the circle to forty.
Should Texas and California each be divided
into three States, as is proposed, the humble
would be raised to forty-six. Then there is
the proposed State of Superior or Itasca, max
ing the lumber foTty-seven. We have omitted
Utah but if that Territory be admitted as a
State, the number would be forty-eight. This
number would be reached without any division
of Nebraska, Oregon or Washington. But the
former is large enough for six or seven States,
Oregon for three, and Washington for two.
These calculations serve to convey an idea Of
the rapid growth Of our republic, the immense
extent Of our unsettled Territory, and the i'm
portance Of the legislation affecting it. This
wilderness is a vast empire Of itself. Before
twenty years it will be teeming with an indus
%trious, hardy, enterprisi=g and enlightened
population. In the unknown solitudes Of the
great mountain region, and by the margin of
the grandly rolling rivers, prosperous cities
will spring up, while the voice of the farmer,
the low OF his cattle, the scream Of the loco
motive, and the rushing sound of the steamboat
will everywhere tell that civilization has
reached the far West. What a mine of wealth
will all this be to the commercial and manu-
featuring classes of our own section! Then
Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York and Bos-
ton will be the maTts of d trade compared with
which what we do at present is a trihe. There
is nothing in the progress Of the West which is
not of interest here. Banks, currency, agri-
culture, towns, lands, mails, newspapers, work
shops, trade, religion, education, customs, all
are Of great importance to the eastern cities.
We send our merchandise, laborers, capital,
missionaries, educators, phy s~icians, editors,
machinery, and receive brilliant returns. Every
new Territory organized is a fresh source Of
profit to US. Every new State admitted is an
impetus given to extension Of trade. Hence
the disposition Of the Western empire is Of
vast Importance TO us, and we should take an
active part in such disposal"

HAsrY LEeIsLATIoN.-The National Iatelii-
gencer of the 18th ult., gives the following il
lustration Of the evils attendant upon the course
of legislation pursued by the last House of Re-
representatives.:
"The habit Of postpohing the consideration of
important bills until the last moments of the ses-
sion is a bad one in all respects. There can be
10 wise consideration of any item, and members
are compelled to take the hasty work of con-
ference committees, or permit the appropria-
tions for the public service TO be defeated. We
have heretofore adverted to one instance Of
omission, after there had been a concurrence
Of both houses. Another now occurs to US.
Although the Committee Of Ways and Means
had reported an item of three hundred and six
ty Thousand dollars for the national srmories,
no such item appears in the law, and the man
~ufacture Of arms for the current year must be
considerably curtailed, or the financial ingenu-
ity Of the War Department must be exercised
to find a method Of borrowing from some other
fund. The probability is that the clerks were
oVertasked in the last dreamy hours of the ses-
sion, and thoughts of war were not uppermost
in the mind Of any one concerned in fabricating
the laws"

them about $1,000. Some Of the ministers of

DEATH IN THE GREEN RoOM.-0n Saturday
evening, while one of the largest and most
brilliant audiences ever seen in America, was
en- Dying the splendid performances Of Liada di
ChGmOuBt, in the Philadelphia Academy OF
Music, there was a scene OF startling contrast
behind the curtain. A very worthy member of
the female chorus, whose services, from her
long experience, were very valuable, died sud-
denly in the Green Room, just as the opera was
about to begin, of disease of the heart. 1t was
a shocking and solemn incident, and created a
great deal of agitation among the performers,
especiallyoamong the choristers, who had so
long been associated with her and accustomed
to follow her directions in the performance.
1t was some time before the singers could
recover their composure sufficiently to enable
them to 60 on. But the vast audience before
the curtain knew nothing of the sad tragedy
that had occurred, and it was not deemed ad-
visable to inform them Of it. There was a de-
lay of ten or fifteen minutes in the commence
ment of the performance ; but then the curtain
rose, and the Swiss villagers appeared, smiling
and gay in their rustic costume, and no one
thought that within a few yards Of them Law
the corpse of one of ther number, arrayed like
them in the bright dress of the caution.
Ihe prima donna and all forced down the
emotions that the tragedy excited, and went
through their parts with apparent composure.
HE audience were more than usually enthu-
siastlc aid gay. Cheers and braves greeted
the priua donna, and bright bououets were
ssowered at her feet. To The few who had
heard OF the grim intrusion of the King of Ter
rors into the temple of uirth and festiyity, the
scene before the curtain had in it something Of
the awful. 1t is not often that a festal and a
a funeral scene are brought into such close
contact--PhtiGdeiphiG BuuetfR.
