ANOTHER DREADFUL DEATn-A Young Nun
Accidentally Shot ,cnh his Orn CUNT is our
melancholy duty to record to-day fearful COM
mentary upon the uncareiul handling OF firearms
involving the death Of q promising youth-John
VIM Tatum, son Of Horny Tatum, of the firm Of
Tatum & Smith, grocers and produce merchants.
No. 3, Old street, southsi of the Old Market
square. The young man had started out few
minutes before nine o'clock, Saturday mornng,on
a hunting excursion, but had scarcely lett home
before the pointer dog which accompanied him ran
back into the family grocery store OF MIR. John I.
Carter. No Q, Old street. lie followed him back
into the store to the rear part, where lad had
caught him and was engaged in tying him. While
waiting until the pointer should be secured young
Tatum started to shut the rear door, which Is ele-
waited four steps above tho foorand while his right
foot was on the lower step he in the act Of
putting down his gun (which was charged with
bird shot) with his left hand, against the wall on
the side of the steps, when the hammer of the
right hand barrel struck against the middle hoops
Of -four barrel standing Immediately near, the
conclusion producing an instantaneous explosion.
The m,lzze was about two feet from his head,
and the entire charge entered the orbit OF his lett
eve, breaking the nasal bone and passing through
the brain in an obique line to the back part Of
the head, shattering the bone but not going
through lie Immediately fell backwards on the
floor the blood and particles of the brain from
the wound flying upon a lady who was behind him
at the time The brains protruded from the aper-
ture which was about two and half inches in
diameter, and a large quantity of blood escaped
aud streamed cut upon the floor.
Dr. II. G. Leigh was called in Immediately and
found that life still remained, though oall appear
ance extinct. In about ten minutes after the &C
cident the youth groancd audibly several times,
and in ten minutes after dead. DR.. Leigh
examined the wound and found it as abSe stated.
The deceased was in his eighteenth year.
The testimony showed that he was going out
for the purpose of killing bird or more for his
sister, who was lying ill., few moments pre-
vious to the accident he made the remark to Mr..
Carter that "he would go in company with his
brother-in-lnw tMr. Jos. Williams, but that he
was too careless with gun and he preferred go
ing by himself" Petersburg Express.

- MANUFACTURING OvERDONE .

The owners Of extensive factories throughout
tie country are complaining Of the low prices "
which their products have sunk. The buyers OF
these products are in turn astonished to find that
they can be purchased So chespy. There are
causes for this coincidence which do not appear on
the surface; and they have been exercising,
sll. nty ard uuobserved, powerful, perhaps con-
trolling influence on all industrial employments
This influence cannot have been sufficient to pro-
duce the general palsy under which the msnufsc'
turing interest Of the nat~n is staggering. But IL
eau be clearly identified in particular cases. The
iron despoiism, whose symbol Of authority Is tde
plantation whip, would alone be sufficient to blast
the industry of the once Free North, as il has
blasted all other climes which its hand
has ever been laid. Bu' while this des-
potism has been stesdily advancing To power,
the mechanical genius of the world has been
making one revolution after another in the
processes which supply it with au coasun-
able fabrics. The universal tendency has been
To- cheapness. Consumption has followed chesp-
ness with q well established regularity, until q
productive power has been excited, whose ramih-
cations reach into every department OF society.
To this prosperous condition of business, vicious
Government interposes check, and stsgnation
and ruin succeed, as in l-57 IN this country An
ERA from whose disasters We have not recovered,
and shall not IS long rs their causes coatI lie 10
exist.
The changes which the Introduction of improved
mschDery nave effected, are in some instances very
remarkable. Formerly things were mad, ths, is,
wrought by hsnd Now, they are Manufactured
by mechanical agencies. Though more cap
tal was required 10 effect such change, yet
in tie end the outlay produced larger return
to the proprietor Manufacturing became system
stized; division of labor was instituted: aud the
cheap fingers of prsillDg children were Sc, to work.
The effects of this system were speedily apparent
lot only where it originated, but in tue remotest
countries. The luxurious natives of the East
INDIES and the tribes which people the interior of
Africa, have long been indebted TO British and
American looms. No Bandans handkerchiefs are
