From an Occasional Correspondent
COLLIERvILLE. Tenn, January IL,
1675.-A fearful accident here yesterday
afternoon, caused the death of DR.. W.
II. JamisOn, long q resident of Collier
vile and vicinity, and well known
throughout southwest Tennessee. The
doctor was recovering from a spell
OF sickness, being just able to
rise from bed. For three or four days
past he would feel such a giddiness
when attempting to get up that he
could scarcely sit or stand erect. On
Sunday afternoon, about three o'clock
he was found on his bed gasping his last
breath, having just been burned to
death. His shirts had been burnt off,
except small piece of one, which was
burning when he was discovered. 1t is
supposed that he arose from bed, and
walked TO the fireplace, having no other
clothiDgon than two shirts and pair of
drawers, and that while there the gid
diness above mentioned, came upon
him, and caused him to fall into the
fire. He was heard to call his son Will
lie, but no one went to him, his
son having gone TO dinner. The bed
was not burned, and it is thought that
he succeeded in extingnishing the fire,
but that the flames and smoke strangled
him, in his weak condition, beyond re-
covery. An inquest was beld at once
by 81. Isley, Esq, but as yet no verdict
has been drawn up. The deceased Oc-
cupied room in the Reed block, on the
public square, and the town escaped the
calamity of burning, for had the bed on
which the doctor was found taken fire,
and the flames been thus communicated
to the building, the entire business part
ofthe town would, doubtless, have been
burned. The houses in many places are
not more than foot apart.
DIR. Jamison had no other family than
the son above mentioned, having been a
Widower for several yeaIS. He was
noted for hisgenteel manners, had many
warm friends, and bore the reputation
of first. class physician.

The session Of the United States
: nate yesterday, wasof q most in
tarestiug character. Early in the
day Senator Clayton, wanted a
resolution passed, in order, he ex-
planned, that the country might have
clear dentanding Of the troubles in
Louisiana, instructing A the SECRETARY OF
war to furnish a copy Of Major Lewis
Merrill's report OF the Coushatta affair,
when Senator Davis inquired if this was
the same Major Merrill who was on duty
in South Carolina where ne committed
Outrsges upon inOfiensive citizens, and
was sfteTwaTd transferred to Louisiana,
where he haDdcufied citizens and cut
the telegraph wires and committed sun
dry other ofIenses for which he was now
under arrest, he Davis would like TO
have a resolution amended 20 as
to have General Emery report
upon the conduct OF this same officer.
Several other senators manifested
curiosity as to Major Merrilps
proceidiugs, and insisted on seeing
the report Of General Emery, which
disposition Clayton charged as an
attempt by ingenious sr,bterfuge to sup
press the Information caned for by his
IClsyton'sl resolution. A hot debate
ensued, participated in by Senators
West, Merriman, Clayton and others,
resulting in the words "COushatta
troubles" b.ing stricken out OF Clayton's
resolution, and the words "relatiDg to
certain disorders in Louisiana" inserted,
and the resolution was agreed to, as was
also an amendment by Senator Merri-
mon, calling for General Emory's
official report on the same subject.
After some other business, Senator
Schurz took the floor in support Of his
resolution Instructing the Judiciary COM
mittee to inquire what legislation by
congress is necessary to secure to iIouisi-
ana the rights Of self-gOveTnment under
the cons stitution, who made a noble de-
fense Of the constitution and the rights
of the people of the south. In the house,
aresolutiOn was introduced by Mr.. Cox
on the subject of Louisiana affairs, which
lies ever.

RESIGNATION.

Los ANI ELEs, CAL, December %, 1874.
To the people of Shelby county, Tennessee:
Having settled 10 this city to practice
law, l have forwarded TO the governor
OF the State my Eesignation Of the office
of attorney-general of the Bartlett cir
cult court, 30 generously conferred upon
me by you. l cannot lay down this
trust without public acknowledgement
OF your kindness. Looking back from
the shores Of the Pacific to the State
that gave me birth, and in which repose
the ashes of two generations of my an
cestors, it is with pride that l remember
that her soldiers have been heroes in
every war; that her statesmen have
been leaders in the national councils,
and that her people have been true to
every obligation as citizens. To part
forever from such people, and especi-
ally from those Of Shelby county, adds
to the sorrow with which ! turn my
back upon my native land. Your CRATE
full servant, ALBERT N. STEPHENS.
