Burning of the Fort Pillow Bluffs.

In explanation Of what may be termed a
phenomenon, the burning OF the bluffs at
old Fort Pillow, on the Mississippi, relative
TO which was published an account in yes
terday's UNION AND AMERICAN, a gentle
man writes the following to a Memphis pa
per:
"There is a regular stratum of Ignite,
some feet in thickness, extending from Ran
dOlph to Fort Pillow, located about ten feet
above low water mark. This Ignite is
composed Of large per cent. of coal, and
moderate per cent. of oil, shale and ash.
Specimens of it were sent to Pittsburr
some years ago, and analysed. The per
cent. of oil proved so good that a move was
made in Memphis to start an oil factory in
that vicinity, but it finally fell through.
This ignite is a combustible substance, and
when exposed TO the SUMS rays, will take
FIRE on becoming perfectly dry. No doubt
il is this vein or stratum of Ignite that is
now burning; but how long it. will con-
tinue, or how lar the vein extends under
the bluff, we are not geologist enough TO
explain" .. -sFf 81.

severe Drought at Memphis.

The Memphis appeal of Sept. %, says
s'ln eight long weeks Memphis has been !,
inch OF rain. The drouth is severely felt
by every living thing. So long-continued
warm and dry weather was not experienced
here in years. The surface Of the ground
is not only parched up, but reduced to a
fine, almost impalpable powder, which
floats in the atmosphere aud creates haze
not unlike fog. Continual deposits of it
films over the leaves of all vegetation, it
penetrates the finest clothing, makes the
hair feel dry and crisp, and even works its
way through the pores of the skin. A
thorough, earnest, decisive rain, of twelve
or fourteen hours, would be great relief"

Rain.

Last night about half past II o'clock, the
heavens were overcast with dark clouds
and soon it commenced lightning in the
North and West. In half an hour good
rain set in and the lightning became quite
vivid and almost necessarily bright sheets
of light spread over the sky. During the
night flame of fire apparently about two
feet in width and several hundred
yards in length was seen to leap forth in 8
semi-curve to the South, the top point
wearing an oblong shape, which spaDgled
into numerous fre-bals and Lit the sur
rounding gloom for some distance. We
never saw more vivid lightning than was
that of last night. Indications are that a
heavy rain and thunder storm prevailed
north and west of this city.
