Our fourth section view of Ohio includes what is 492,661 called the Minera) Region. We must prennse that this does not mean the whole Minera? Region of Ohio, by any means. On the contrary, that runs in @ broad belt from the Ohio river to Lake Erie, and is everywhere full of mineral produc- tions of the richest quatity. We can give a brief view of it in a few words, as preliminary to the particular rection we are about to describe. The coal feld of Ohio underlies the surface of about 28° counties, extending from: a little east of Portamouth te the Ohio, east, and Lake Erie north and is supposed to embrace at least 12,000 square miles. A comparison of this field with some of those in Europe, will but illustrate its magnitude Goal Yield of Ohi Joal tield of Ohio....... 12,000 equare miles. Do. Great Britain ....11,850 is do. Do. x . » 1719 do. Do. Belgium seoee 518 do. Engiand has in fact not more than one fourtly the workabie coal Geld of Ohio! Ohio has about ene tenth ofthe workable coal fields of the now United States. She hascoal enough to’ supply all the fires and machinery of the United States and Great Britain through countless agea to come. The question of amount, therefore, is of no conse- quence, when we have amount euough to supply the world. The Iron Field is much narrower, but still of great magnitude: It exteads from the O! river to Lake Erie, and from Bri creek, in the county of Adams, te the counties of Meigs and Muskingum, and is found in various forms—from the varieties of lime-ores to the bogores found chiefly near the lake. The workable strata, how- ever, is much narrower, and with the exception of some works in Licking, Lake, We chiefly con- fined to the counties of Scioto, Lawrence, Jackson, and Hocking. . The Saliferous Kegion adjoins the Iron Field east, and is also very extensive. Sait water hat, indeed, been found in many parts of Ohio, but the locality in which the water is strong enough to be profitable is comparatively small. in the early set tlement of the State, salt water was found in Tram- bull county, by Gen. Parsons, put the salt-making is confined chiefly to Muskingum, Morgan, Atheas and Meigs counties. F The mineral region, as it is generally — referring to that which unites all the minerals Ohio, and is chiefly valuable for that species of re~ sources, consisis of the Hocking valley, and the lower part ef the Muskingum valley, ands0 we shat! consider it. We shail include ihe couaty of Monroe in this section, both because it is watered by the branches of the Litde Muskingum, aud be- cause it contains both iron and coal. Below are the counties, population aad growth of this section. It has been said, in reference our article on the Scioto valley, that Jacksoa coua- ty belonged to that valley. So it does, in oa sense; butit belongs to the mineral regiva more.

Hearing of this, Mr. Goodhue | purchased pistola, and loaded them at one of the stores in this place. Mr. Cooper also armed him- | self, and, about noon, they met on the street, near | the capitol. Mr. Cooper demanded the reason for | the attack on his brother, and was answered by | | Mr. Goodhue’s drawing a pistol, and presentiog Aiter # long bistory of the financial affairs of the | it.

Mr. | Cooper yielded hia readily, bat Mr. Goodhue did | not seem inclined to do so, and, in the scufile | for the possession of it, it went off, the bail almost grazing the head of Mr. Wiliam H. | Randall, who was endeavoring to secure it. Mr. Cooper then made a pass at Goodhue, but did | not bit him in consequence of slipping upon a stone. Goodhue fell, avd as Mr. Cooper was bending over him, and held by two persons who grasped | him by the arms, the former rose upon one knee, drew another pistol and fired it. The ball entered | Mr. Cooper's side, just above the crowa of the hip | bone. Exclaiming that he was shot, he broke from these who held and drawing a knife, | pursued Mr. Goodhue, who was in fuil retreat On coming up with Mr. Goodhue, that individual ran behind one of the bystanders for protection, | | but Mr. Cooper reaching around this person ia- flected two wounds, one in the abdomen, and the other in the back, near the side; both very severe and dangerous. While aiming another blow, Mr. | Cooper was again seized, and, becoming weak from | son's office, whence he was conveyed to the dwell ing of Mr. H. M. Rice, nearby, where he now lies. Mr. Goodhue was taken to the office of Mr. Wm. D. Phil . and thence to hie own dwelling. Dra. | Kieh and Dewey were promptly on the spot, aod soon after Dr. MoLaren, from Fort Snelling, and Dr. Potts, were in atiendan tered to the sufferers. Drs. McLaren aad Rich mede an examimation of Mr. Cooper's woand, and ascertained that it was a simple injury of the fiesh, the bail having passed around, and lodged in the muecie of the back, without cutting or iojuring any of the tendons or nerves, or touching the spine. It is in no degree dangerous. Mr Goodhue’s wounds were at first considered mortal; but he ia now prto- nounced out of da and ia rapidly recovering. —S.
