: '-S .%i EXODUS OF CITIZENS.
E. The anxiety Of citizens to leave this i'll
: lated city is daily increasing. Every train
e that departs is crowded, and hundreds have
D gone into the country. All sorts OF vehi-
: Giles have been pressed into service, and the
: roads leading from Memphis are filled with
/ wagons carrying panic.stricken people to-
= places Of safety. There were 800 passen-
e gers aboard the steamer Coahomo, which
] left this evening for St. Louis. Nearly all
0 OF them had their passage paid by the city
d authorities, who are using every eXertion
s to ,depopulate the city. Two physicians,
/, Dir. Willett and DIR. Brown, were engaged
), to accompany the steamer to st. Louis. =
= Main street already begins to assume a
= Sunday appearance. Nearly every Dromi-
b pent retail house has closed. BY the end Of
e the week none will be left in Memphis ex-
= cept those who can't get away, or those who
remain in anticipation OF receiving free ra-
tions. Perhaps wooden box will be their
!, share. ..-. .~*'.
t ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
n A Young man named Landgan shot part
4, of the skull from the back OF bis head yes
S terday in trying to commit suicide on Gregg
e street. He tried to get his mother and fa-
). ther to leave town. They refused; and be
p said he would rather be dead than risk yell
2 Iow-fever. His injuries are not likely to
: prove fatal.

e MCKENZIE, Tenn, July 21.-Train after
train load of Memphians now almost hourly
/. pass through here, leaving crowd OF anX-
ious peopie at the pla9ue-stricken city walt
ing at the dep0t there for the first chance to
get away. Memphians say that so deter
j. mined are the people to get out OF that city
that they clamor with one another as mob,
and those passengers with the most strength
: and determination are those who run over
: the multitude Of more tlmid people and es-
:. cape. So.
t CROWDS AT THE DEPOT.
I People have crowded about the depot for
. twenty-four hours before being ableto get
on the train. Overcome with heat and Ia
+. tigue,, men, women, and children sleep;
p, closely huddled together, until aroused and
told that the hour of their liberation is near
: at hand. A fresh train has been made up,
= and they pass out to the transfer.station,
! which is also always crowded. Instead OF
!, waiting Tor trains to carry them thither
= they 60 out by every conceivable convey
ance, and by that means often take the places
> Of those who bave been forced to come out
: on the trains only to find that they have been
!, deprived OF possibility OF their early
: escape to more healthy climate. -

A general scramble for seats continues all
