COwARDLY AND PROBABLE SuUuEssrUI ATTEMPT At
ASSASSINATION IN MENTIIsA most cowardlv at
tempt at assassination was made in Memphis on
Thursday, the 18th inst the particulars of which
we gather from the ArlIqacls as fellows: A short
time since WM. MYERS. late OF PHILADELPHIA. came
20 Memphis with the intention of going into bust
ness. and shortly afterward met with CHARLES y
SKINNER. also Of Phladcphia. who Is reported to
have estrangud ms friends from him bv a life of
reckless dissipation, and being old acqulint
ance interested himself to obtain SKINNER employ
mcut He succeeded TO the extent that SKINNER
was engaged first by Captain SHOOK and afterwards
bv CAPTAIN DUsuANE. to distribute advertisement,
on passing steamboats, On Wednesday night.
while Mr.. MYERS was in the Fl Dorado billiard
saloon. playing a game in company several gen
tlemeu, SKINNER entered the place somewhat in
toxicated and grossly and repeatedly insultcd Mr..
MYEns who finally knocked him down. as we UNI
tierstaud, with his fist. SKINNER rising. drew a
sworl-canc. when Mr. MrEFs struck him him on
the head with a cue. which rendered him senselcss
Thursday morning SKINNER had his wounds dress

Mr.. MYEus. Meeting several friends Of the latter
gentleman he informed them, or intimatcd, that he

about O'Clock in the morning. as Mr. MYERS was
walking in front Of the Worshan House, he was
met bv SKINNER. who took his (MYERs0 ann and
walked short distance with him, seemingly in the
rnost friendly manner. They had proceeded only a
little yev in this manner and had reached the west
arn end of the building. when SKINNER turned and
presented pistol at MYERS breast with his left
hand and fired. The ball took effect in the left
braast abont two inches above the nipple, ard pro
aucing a wound which the physicians think cannot
but proye fatal Mr.. MYERS was at once removed

Railroad where he received all the attention that
he rsouired. SKINNER was Immediately arrested
and placed in jail.
Mr. MYERS is about thirty years OF age and las

a highly esteemed by all who know him. SKINNER
is about tycntythrce years Of age and has no fam

LACK OF INTELLECTUAL POWER IN TIE CATHOLICS OF
THE UNITED STATES.-Mr. BrOwnsOn is warning his
Catholic brethren in his ReUieC that the Church.
must decline in this country, and dwinde into in
significance unless it attain greater intellect
Ual power. He says the Church Is not growing by
conversions as rapidly as it is diminishing by per-
verts; that it cannot hope maintain its ground by
immigration from abroad and that very soon some
of its great cathedrals will be without congrega-
tons. He says the Catholics must humble the Pro
tesant pride of intellect in this country, by proving
themselves superior; and of this he sees but little
present hope, as the intellectually Of the Catholics
of America is now near zero. that among all the
hundreds Of thousands. no work of any merit from
the best Papal pen can command more thgn 1000 or

WINCHESTER AND ALABAMA RAAHROAD-The cleo
ton of Directors Of the Winchester and Alabama
Railroad Company will be held at Fayetteville on
the 3D. Of next month. The Fayetteville Journal
says the only question agitated among the stock
holders IN regard to the election, is the proposed
connection with the Memphis and Charleston rail
road and from all we can learn, the election will
be made to turn upon this question of connection
or no connection-those in favor of the connection
voting for directors entertaining the same views
and those opposed voting for ticket representing
that sentiment This will perhaps be the most I'M
portant election yet had by the company, and every
stakeholder should be present in person or byprOxy,
so that whatever may be the result, it may be the
action OF a majority of the stockholders Of the
road.
