The Clant0n Tragedy.

From the St. Louis Republican,
MEMPHIS. September 29.-The Appears
Knoxville special tonight gives the follow
ing particulars of the killing Of General
Clanton by Colonel D. NJ. Nelson: The gen.
temen were introduced by mutual friend,
when Nelson and Clanton entered into con-
versation and walked toward saloon near
by. Nelson remarked to Clanton he could
take him this evening where there was
something nice, if he was not afraid to 60.
Clanton, Misunderstanding Nelson, asked
him what he meant by his being afraid.
Nelson made some evasive reply, when
Clanton told him they might as we'll settle
the matter then. Clanton then stepped into
Cumberland street. and called on Fort to
measure the ground. Fort declined, aud
insisted that Clanton should come away, as
Nelson was drunk. Nelson. in the mean
time, ran into a store and procured q
double-barrel shotgun. When he reap
peared he found Clanton in the middle Of
the street, waiting for Nelson to come and
take his place Nelson stepped upon the
street, rested his gun against a post and
fred. Clanton then drew pistol and fired.
but the shot did not take effect. Nelson
again fred, and about sixteen shots entered
the body Of CIanron. He lived only few
moments.

Congressional Representation.

A Washington special to the st. Louis Re.
publican says:
There seems to be an impression in some
quarters that the reapportionment of
Congressional representation has been made
under the new census; but this is mistake.
The matter was preached, but no action
was taken by Congress, and the Secretary
Of the Interior will therefore apportiol the
congressional representation this year under
the act of May %. 1850. as modified by that
of March 9, 1867. Under these acts the
number Of representatives in Congress will
be 24l. The law Of 1850 gives to the States
having the largest fractional excess Of
population, member, provided the whole
number does not exceed the number fixed
by law.
In the new apportionment, the late slave
holding States win gain two Representatives,
their whole negro population being counted
for the first time. New York will lose one,
Ohio two, Kentucky one and Pennsylvania
two members New England will lose six
members.
The States making gain, will lie Illinois
two Iowa one, Kansas one, Michigan one,
Minnesota one, Missouri two, New Jersey
one, Texas one. Wisconsin one.

vAO0S~~Ao
We learn from the officers Of the Mem
phis and Vicksburg railroad company that
the work on that road is to be vigorously
pushed to completion. No news could be
more gratifying to this community, for Of
all the proposed railroads leading to tins
city none, in our judgment, is more I'M
portance to Vicksburg than this. Ten miles
of this road is already under contract.
Other contracts will soon be awarded, and
the work will commence early in October.
A considerable portion Of this road, it is
expected, will be commenced i'll time to Sc
cure the subsidy Of four thousand dollars a
mile.
The entire road from Rolling Fork. it is
expected. will be in running order in one
year from this time.
We congratulate the officers Of the Mem
phis and Vicksburg road and at the same
time let US congratulate ourselves that the
interests of the road are entrusted in such
worthy hands.
