Suicide of Edmund Rufin.

The Richmond Republic Of Tuesday
contains the following =:
On Saturday last Mr.. Edmund Ruffin,
a very distinguished agriculturist of Vir-
ginia, committed suicide at hisresidence
near Mattaox depot, on the Richmond
and nanvillc Railroad. He retired to
his chamber ut an early hour in the
morning, and taking seat in chair
took Gun, loaded with shot and slugs,
aud placing The muzzle to his mouth,
discharged the piece by pushing the
.ficgor with Il stick. The upper portion
Of his head was entirely blown off. In
diary of his was found a memorandum
stating thai he could never live under
the United States Government, and took
death III preference. In the same memo
randum he said lac would have commit
ted the deed on the 9th of April (the day
General Lee surrendered but was pre-
vented by the presence of visitors in his
house. Mr.. Rullin was we'll known in
Virginia by his efforts in behalf of agri-
culture in the State, and was once editor,
we helieve, of the Southern Planter
He was well known throughout the
country during the first of the war from
the ardor with which he embraced the
Confederate cause, and particularly from
the fact that he was the man who fired
| the first gun at Fort Sumter when Gen.
Beauregard bombarded that work in
1861. He was over seventy years of age.
The Wing gives the following account
of the affair:
1t is now said that Mr.. Ruffin's mind
had been very perceptibly affected since
the evacuation of Richmond and the
surrender OF the Confederate armies. -
For Week previous to terminating his
life, Mr. Rullin kept his chamber busily
employed in writing what subsequently
turned out to be a history of his political
life. lie also wrote letters, and in one
OF them he left directions as to the dis
posal OF his body. He bathed himself,
put on clean under and outer clothing
and directed that his body should be
buried in the habiliments he had put
on, without shroud or coffin He then
seated himself in a chair, put a loaded
musl<et to his mouth, and, leaning back,
struck the trigger with his hickory
stick. The first cap did not explode,
and he replaced it by another, which
discharged the musket, the charge of
bali and buck blowing off the crown of
the venerable old gentleman's head and
scattering his brains and snowy hair
against the ceiling of the room. When
The family, alarmed by. the report,
reached MIR. Ruffin's room, he was
found living back in his chair, the gun
leaning against him, and life gone. A
paragraph in the letter left for the peru
sal of family and friends explained the
tragic deed. II reads: II cannot sur
vive the loss of the liberties of my coun-
try v

may to their homes; shutters went up
to the windows in double-quick; and a
general stampede of the citizens TOOK
place. Meantime the melee continued
20 increase with fearful rapidity. The
widest tumult prevailed on every side
heightened bV the tempest OF stones ana
brick hats which fell thick and fast on
all sides.
Nor were more dangerous weapons
wanting. The reports of pistols, the
cIashingof bowie knives, and grOans of
fallen men mingled with the shrieks of
women and the general clamor, render
inc the scene one of intense and tragic
horror. There was danger of being
caught out under that shower of missiles
and bullets. Women and children hid
themselves from the tempest in base
ments and cellars, while men clustered
rlponthe housetops and gazed downupon
tie turbulent crowd below.
This state of things lasted for about
two hours, and how long it might
have continued but for a single happy
circumstance, is a difficult matter to de-
eide. It began to fain-gently at first,
and then in torrents. 1t was Il repeti-
ton of the old set historic phrase,
"night separated the cOmbatants'--
only this time the combatants were
separated by q shower. I'm few mo-
mcnte the passions Of the Infatuated mob
began TO cool, and the cOmbatants grad
ually dispersed and collected their
wounded.
1t would be utterly impossible to de-
scribe the intense excitement which the
news Of the riot caused wherever it
spread 10 the villages in the neighdOr-
hood. The intelligence reaching Will
liamsburg, many persons took private
cOnveyances and proceeded with all pos
sible haste TO the scene of riot. The
whole town of Flushing was in a terri
hic state of confusion, and large num-
Der OF families residing in the imme-
diate vicinity Of the fight, left for safer
and more distant parts of the village
Many ladies tainted, and a feeling of
perfect terror seized upon the children.
Never had the usually quiet village be-
fore experienced such terrible calam-
ity. Vt the present time it is impossi-
BILE tostate the number Of personsinjured,
but il is estimated at fifty or sixty. A
lady, whose name was not ascertained,
received bullet wound in the breast
several citizens and children were
wounded by stray shots, but the fighters
themselves received the most severe in
iuries. The wounded brought to Will
liunisburg include Pat McGinnis;
McCaty, knife wound IN the neck; Ed.
McHugh, badly injured about the head;
Charles Van Dyke, visitor, badly; +.
Kelley, head bruised. The scene of the
fight presented evidences Of terrific
c0nliict-briclis and stones, knives and
broken pistols lying around in profusiOn.
