Ingersoll appears" to have drawn his pistol only in self-defence: '.'*.* .If'afloNAL SALUTE.--A national salute of thirty .y eix guns was fired in Charleston on the Sd, "in - honor," Says the Courier, "of the glorious lid inga of peace." " T! J ey make a solitude, and cal 1 -.-it peao? " The Courier adda "The joyful pros '.-.'.*- pouts of speedy, permanent peace, with the restoration of civil law and order, were topics of general discussion throughout the day. The best filling prevailed, and every one seemed anxious to devise some plan or make some movement towards Charleston taking lier right position in the national representation, lt was ..abo Loped ihnL some initiatory movement for this purpose would be made by the people of the up-country and interior, so that the action should, as nearly as possible, be simultaneous." No doubt! nd doubt! But there's the rub, ? matter Courier! Cool and easy! Bo not be imp&lieul! There is much to be done and thought ot before this be?utifnl consummation - will be reached. . . The South Carolina Railroad, we ara told,, is to ba opened for travel by thc first of July; under whal auspices, is not mentioned; brit we -assume that the rights of property in the old company, will not be affected in any way hy the iuterference of the ?enemy, though it is as ..- much for their interest as ours that the road should be rc-opensd between Charleston and the interior. It is probable that tba military authorities of that city will give their ?id to the work. ->-? KiLLMa OF BOOTH.-We give copious extracts from the Charleston Courier of the circum? stances in tba killing of Booth, the slayer of ? Lincoln. It was not a very valiant proceeding, yet the Yankees are disposed to exalt the man who shot bim into a sort of hero. He ls an Englishman,-and his biography-is given iu the New York ^Tintes, and if space is allowed ut, we may give the history to our readers. The attempt to assassinate Seward is said to h:.ve been made by a man named Levais Paine. He has been arrested aud Is in jail at Washing ten. AH of the suspected conspirators have been arrested, except one--John H. Surrott and ihe sleuth hounds are said to be on his OcruncU? Proceedings. '*".'' c CoUSClL-.Ctl.'.MBt.lt, * **? ?

"The wildest regrets," says the Charleston Courier, "are expressed in- Washiugtou and other Northern cities that Booth was not taken alive." No doubt! They would have exulted in his agonies, seeing him die inch by inch. II? has mudo them very angry by disappoiui ing them in this humane appetite; but Harrold, hit alleged accomplice, and his companion when slain, will, no doubt, be made to atone for thc disappointment which Booth, dying gamo, lia? occasioned them.
