Melancholy accident.

--The Knoxville (Tenn.) Register, of the 29th ult. has the following notice of a fatal accident which occurred recently at Cumberland Gap:

‘ N. P. Jackson accidentally shot himself through the heart a few nights since. Mr. Jackson, who was acting as Assistant Quartermaster at Cumberland Ford, had gone to bed with a pistol upon his person, which, by some unexplained accident, during the night, became discharged, the ball piercing his heart and producing instant death. The deceased was a lawyer by profession, and resided at Jonesboro', Washington county--a young man of much promise and ability.
