earthquake at a. NJ. on the 5th Octr, which
was felt throughout the republic, but most Sc

The direction of the shock was from South
east to Northwest, and its duration, ii is said,
about four minutes. having caused considera-

which caused q panic amongst the inhabitants,

We have been assured that after the first
shock the earth has con tinued in unceaslng

The NASHVILLE TRAGEDY.-The Nashville
Gazette, of Saturday last, gives the following
account of the recent deplorable tragedy in
that city:
Yesterday morning soon after the usual
breakfast hour, George G. Poindexter Editor
of the Nashville Uaton and american, was shot
and instantly killed by Allen A. Hall, editor
deplorabe occurrence was Cherry street, be-
tween the Gazette Building and the Ne1cs Of
flee Alley. Having reason to anticipate an
attack from Mr.. Poindexter, Mr.. Hall had pro-
yided himself with double barrel shot gun
and ascertaining that Mr.. Poindexfer was
coming in the direction of the Office, Mr.. Hall
took position on the pavement, Immediately
in front of the office door. When Mr.. p. had
got within haiiing distance, Mr.. II. raised his
gun, and requested him not TO advance any
further. He repeated the request order
three times in rapid succession. His adver-
sary, however, continued to advance until
within about fifty feet of Mr.. Hail when that
gentleman discharged one barrel of the gun,
which was loaded with buckshot. Ten of the
shot took effect upon the body of Mr.. Poin-
dexter, several of them entering his left arm,
and the others penetrating his breast and alb
domen. MIR. Poindexter fell upon the side
walk, but was Immediately carried into the
law office of T. Il. Childress, Esq, where he
almost instantly expired. He did not speak,
we believe after receiving his wound. 1t was
raining very hard at the time of the occur
renee. and Mr.. Poindexter had his umbrella
ho.sted over him, the staff of which was COM
pletely shattered by the shot. 1t is believ ed
that Mr.. 2. had his pistol drawn when he was
shot, but we have no positive information
upon that point. The pistol was found lying
in the umbrella, which had dropped from his
hand simultaneously with the shooting Ii
had not been fired.
Mr.. Hall surrendered himself into the Gus to.
dy Of an officer of the law, aud the trial was
postponed until 10Y O'Clock on Friday morn
ing next, Mr.. Hall giving bond for his appear
ance at that time in the sum of SJ ,0JO.
This deplorable occurrence proceeded from
political newspaper controversy.

Lnmbcr.-In passing along the dock yester-
day, we were astonished to see the immense
amount of Northern lumber piled along it's
margin, and to learn that nearly all the build
ers in the city purchased Northern materials
for their contracts. This fact is but an illus
ration of the extent to which our people pa
tronise their worst enemies, when they could
get just as good lumber at their own doors
and of their own friends, if they were but to
determine to do so. Virginia and her sister
Southern States, if they wish 10 he indepen-
dent of their enemies, must patronize each
other more and the North less, and if
they but once will it, there is not an article OF
necessity, great or small, that they cannot
manufac tuTe at their own doors. In our own
State an abundance of lumber, for all pur-
poses, can readily be had, and the day is not
distant. unless the conservative portion of the
North show their determination to support
the Constitution, when no article of Northern
commerce will be allowed Southern land
ing.

Going South.-Two or three, and perhaps
four. of the Virginia racers, are preparing 10
start South With their horses, and will proba-
bly, leave here by the last of the month. L.
W. boswell, Esq, will take with him the in-
vincible Planet Fannie Washington and Ex-
chequer and if no accident happens will visit
Charleston, Augusta, Ion gomery, Mobile and
New Orleans before his horses return. Planet
is now looking as fine as silk and if he starts
in good condition and on a good track, the
horse that beats him will have TO make the
best time vet on record We know that every
racer, from here TO New Orleans, will be glad
to tear his laurels from his brow, and it may
be that some of them will succeed; but if they
do the hackers of Planet will have little use
for other races this season.
