ATTEMPT AT suIcIDE.-Yesterday morning
a white man named Thomas Clark, about
sixty years of age, attempted TO commit
suicide by cutting his throat with razor, at
his boarding house In Meeting street, near the
workshops of the South Carolina Railroad.
He draw the edge of the razor across his
windpipe, close under the chin, and was
bleeding protusely when some women dis
covered him and gave the alarm. Surgeon
Ancrum was at once called in, and the wound
was aewed up promptly. The blade had not
gone deep, and though the cash seemed to be
q fearful one, there was little cut besides the
skin. The patient was soon talking, and is
LOW doing well. His friends say Clark has
been detected ior some time, on account OF the
death of his wife, and he says he has been
ill.used. He had been drinking, and wanted
to end all of bis sorrows at once. He re-
marked that 1t took a strong hand to cut q
throat, for he had drawn the knife across his
as heavily as he could.

GERS saw-mill, in Paint township, the
out-crop shows As feet of coal, upper
part bituminous, lower camel. In Me-
township this coal is from seven to eight
feet thick-a true camel coal; has been
exposed by boring and drifting, but is not
worked.
In shallow valley, in this township
several acres of this coal have been
burned out, and the roof, which has
here calcareous ferruginous shale,
covers the surface and is found in the
banks on each side, presenting the ap-
pearanee of an impure black band ore
after it has passed through the fire. The
burning out of the coal occurred so
long ago that the valley has become
of the same size and varieties as over
the unburhed territory.
The outcrops of Coal No. 3 are found
in every township and upon the slopes
of almost every hill, but only very
small fraction of them having been sut-
ficiently explored TO determine their
character and value.
Iron Ore.---Just above this horizon
are deposits of iron ore extending oven
most of the county, from which large
amounts can be gathered, when needea
to mix with the richer ores of Lake Su-
perior. In many places, the slopes of
the hills between this coal and the one
above it are covered with the fragments
of this ore, and on John Simmons land
in Knox township, where these frag-
ments are very abundant, it is reported
that continuous deposit of ore, eight
feet thick, was penetrated in sinking q
well.

SECESSION DocTRINE.-It is we'll
known that in 1860 Horace Greeley in
his Tribune advocated secession doc
trine, and said if the Southern states
were not willing to remain in the Uh
ion he, for one, would allow them to
depart IN peace. The other day in a
speech at Pittsburg lie reiterated his
former sentiments, and expressed him
self as follows:
II demand that there shall be a fair, open
free discussion before all the Southern peo-
pie, of an honest, unterrifed unconstrained
vote, and if they approve, if the people of
the South say they want disunion, I aoiU
consent to at. (Cheers.)
"And mov today if the nation was to be
imperiled, and there were just two modes
of saving ito trust to the chances of civ j
war, or to the chances of free vote of the
Southern people, would very greatly pre-
fer to take the latter chance than the former"

Fort Pillows Bluff Banks Burning

One of the strangest of phenomena
of the times is reported to us from the
site of old Fort Pillow, sixty miles
above this city. It is no more nor less
than the bluff bank of the river, which
rises fifty or sixty feet above the water
level, is on fire, and for the past sever
al weeks has been steadily burning like
a volcano for distance of several hun
dred yards along the east side of the
river on line of ten or twelve feet
above the water level. At night a
lurid fame or blaze of fire rises from
one side of the bluff to height of two
or three feet, which then spreads into
smoke and passes On over the summit
of the hill, distributing itself with the
atmosphere and floating away skyward.
The steamer Celeste, on her last trip,
passed by the place in broad day light
and at a time when light wind blew
from the shore, carrying the smoke
towards tie Arkansas shore and cover
ing the river with thick haze almost
like fog. What strange combustible
formation composes the river bluff of
the old fort or what first set it on fire,
to burn after the fashion described, is
one OF the most marvellous events of
the times, and puzzles the people of
the vicinity not a little. We shall
seek to be further Informed upon this
wonderful phenomenon with no little
curiosity Memphis Avalaache, Sept.
2lst.

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

AS the time for the state elections
in Pennsylvnis. Ohio and Indiana draws
near, no little anxiety is apparent all
over the country at the probable result
It is generally conceded that the abili-
ity Of either party to carry the elections
in these states in November insures its
success 10 the Presidential election the
month following. Tuesday next, the
9Th inst, tells che story. Nothwith-
standing the generally accepted theory
we have stated, we are by no means
willing TO admit that if Hartranft, Re-
publican candidate for Governor in
Pennsylvania, is defeated and Hen
bricks, democratic candidate for Cover
nor in Indiana, is elected, that these
states are necessarily certain for Gree
ley in November. Hartranft's chances
suffer from a bitter domestic quarrel
in the Republican party between the
Cameron and Forney factions, which
NAV insure his defeat. Both of these
discordant elements are united for
Grant and Wilson. The real test of
the relative strength of the two par
ties in Pennsylvania will be the vote on
Congressman at-Large. Even if Buck
alew the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, should receive a majority, it
will afford no real comfort to the op
position If at the same time the Re
publicans succeed in electing the
Congressman at Large By q decisive
vote.
In the case of Indiana the democrats
are running very popular candidate
for Governor in the person of Senator
Hendricks, and his election would by
no means indicate that the state was
sure for Greeley should the Repub-
licans have majority of Congressman.
We believe there are hundreds of DEM
ocrats ia Indiana who will vote for
Hendricks and when November comes
are just az sure for Grant. At the
elections in North Carolina and Maine
the Congressional majority was larger
than the majority on Governors from
which it is to be observed that the
Administration is strong with the peo-
pie, and that they are more decisiveIy
Republican In national than in local
politics.
In this brief review we have said
nothing about Ohio. No doubt exists
as to how she stands. She is clearly
and decisively Republican, and is GER
tain for the Republican candidates, not
only in October but in November.

TOBACCO.

CoNNEcTICUT.-The tobacco crop has
been mostly gathered IN the hill towns
of Western Hampden with but little
damage by the frost. A few farmers
had small part of their crops damaged
slightly because of their inability to yet
help to secure it before the cold snap
The damage done to the tobacco in
Vernon by the hail storm on the 22d of
August, proves much greater than at
first reported, the latest estimates plac-
ing the loss in tobacco alone at $75,
900.
The prospect in Ohio is fair for a
medium crop
FALL TRADE PROSPECT. As to
seed-leaf tobacco the crop will probably
be less than that of last year, say $50
900 cases to 100000 cases last year.
This crop is greatly needed for domes-
tic manufacture, and therefore may
prove In the end as profitable as that Of
last year.
The prospects of tobacco in the fall
trade are therefore quite good for bet
ter results to growers, merchants, bro
kers. and all in this country concerned
in the business than were obtained last
year. Payments have been and are
being made very satisfactorily. Less
credit is sought from and by jobbers
than formerly.
During the pest week business. gen.
orally speaking, was fair in seed leaf
circles. The export was moderate,
reaching only 800 cases Wisconsin at
9}@94c; but the home demand, on
the other hand, was comparatively good
the sales footing up 207O cases which
were distributed as follows 800 cases,
Connecticut wrappers at 50065 !; 1875
cases do second and filters on private
terms not ascertained by thus and $50
