He was riding with Earl Granville from

dent.

New YORK, July 2O.-The belief that
Mr.. Mills mot Wells, as printed yester-
dayl, late president of the Brooklyn
trust company, committed suicide, is
becoming general. 1t is said that on the
day before his death, some Of the di-
rectors of the bank informed him that
an examination of his accounts would
be commenced next day. On Monday
morning Mills obtained full settlement
with his bond-agent, and deposited a
check which he received from the latter
in the Mas su bank, to his wife's credit.
After this transaction, he settled the ac-
counts of his butcher and baker, which
were settled at the end of each month.
If weli-suthenticated rumOrs, cir
cIlated last evening, are to be
accredited, Mills's conduct on Coney
island, during the last night of his life,
gives material support to the suicide
theory. 1t is stated that he did not re-
tire to his bedroom till very late hour,
and next morning it is said that bis bed
had not been slept in at the time of
his death. These facts were studiously
concealed, but, yesterday, those in pos
session of them concluded that further
seeresy was useless. 1t is said in Brook
lyn to-day that an examination of the
books, as far as presented last night, de-
velop loss OF eight hundred thousand
dollars. 1t was threatened, last night,
that warrant would be issued for the
arrest of Secretary Rodman, who con-
tinued to countersign Mills's checks, al
though he knew his account was heav-
lily OIerdrawn.

JACKSON, TENN, July 20.-The most
terrible fire that ever swept over Jack
son, occurred here this morning at two
O'Clock. 1t began in the very heart of
the city, and swept away thirteen busi-
ness houses. These stood on Fayette
aad Market streets, and on Center alley.
The place will be remembered by occa-
sioDsl visitors of Jackson, because in the
very midst OF these was the Whfg and
Tribune building. Kings building, in
which was kept the fashionable bar
room of Jackson, was destroyed, and
dry-gOods, and drug and bookstores, and
grocery establishments, all were swept
away. There are no efficient means of
perfect security against eonfiagrations.
We have nos steam fire-engine and no
water, and it was pitiable TO see how
helplessly wretched and how wretehed
because Of helplessness were the
owners who stood contemplating
with paralyzed hands and fixed
eye and pallid faces, watch
ing the frightful loss Of the labor
of their lives. There were no lives lost,
though the flames spread with great ra-
pidity and the upper stories of most of
the buildings destroyed were occupied
as sleeping apartments. Among the
buildings destroyed was the postOffice,
with much of its contents. The loss is
variously estimated, from one hundred
thousand to one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. Insurance on all the prop
erty does not exceed forty-flve thousand
dollars. The Wing and Tribune had no
insurance, and its loss was not
less than ten thousand dollars.
but the paper will be issued as
usual. Arrangements to that effect
were making this afternoon, though
it is Sunday, by the active, iTepressible
Robert Gates.

THEN NEwsrATEn MOVEMENT.

II the congress Of the United States
viii assent 10 the creation of the new
State, OF which Memphis will surely be
the commercial capital, we can promise
that as respectable a body of gentlemen,
morally and intellectually, will repre-
sent it in Washington as ever went up
from any southern commonwealth.
The scheme itself is good one, and
only Objectionable because congress, for
partisan reasons, will oppose it. Decent
men are not wanted from the south in
the senate OF in the heuse. They
couldn't be bought or subOrdinated to
the purposes Of rings. Moreover,
the Radical masters of each
southern State, now governed
by adventures and commonplace peo-
PIE Of the knavish sort viii object TO
tine contrast necessarily presented be-
tween themselves and gentlemen who
would surely be chosen TO fill places at
the federal capital by the people and
legislature Of the proposed new State.
The very necessity for the new State,
the very benefcence Of the results OF
its creation, are the very reasons why
the scheme must fail, even as ii failed
for sectional reasons, when originally
discussed in years gone bY. The west is
not yet dominant in congress. New
England is even supreme in the west,
and until the west have proper native
born Representatives no such scheme as
this now proposed can be consummated.
West Tennessee, and Western Ken
lucky and Northern Mississippi have
certainly been uniformly represented,
when whites governed the country, by
r. en- Of honest worth. They have been
chosen in many instances because Of
their peculiar personal virtues and traits
of moral excellence, rather than be-
cause Of any extraordinary intellectual
endOwments. This class would repre-
sent the new State aud congress, as now
organized, and the carpetbsggers IN
congress would never consent, for this
reason, 10 the dismemberment Of three
States New England has reasons
enough, growing out Of tariff questions
and navigation acts, TO dissent, and the
carpetbaggers and New England are
the supreme Lawmakers for America
As an isolated question Of local interest
there are no two sides to the question.
We have no such community of inter
ests with other districts Of Tennessee as
are unnzturslly supposed to exist by
laws made at Nashville. whatever
promotes the interests O. East Tennes-
see, in q majority Of Instances, is detri-
mental TO this portion vi the State. We
are separated from East Tennessee by
eternal mountain barriers which rail-
ways have never even attempted to
Overleap. The one district is devoted to
mining aud manufacturing, and TO
the production Of grain; the other
produces cotton and tobacco; the
one is, practically, because Of its eleva-
walton, beyond the tropics; the other is
within the tropics, in the habits and
tastes snd modes Of thinking and indus
trial pursuits Of IFS people. A great
river, as well as strongly drawn, ire
psalable climatic laws, separate US from
other portions Of the State, and the sep
aratiOn, sooner or later, VIII occur. But
not now.
