On Sundav night tho citv was excited i . :, rs of c serious collision between thc whit . people r-nd thc negroes, in Bani-, well conn tv. South Carolina. From the first- reperte ?t*appear?d that a regular bat tle had'heen fought, and that many were Blain on both sides.

After tho shooting took place they h i I retained their arms and their nosition. and defied arrest. B^vond those fragments nothing else was received until yes'edy evening late, whentwo participators arriv ed in Augusta-a white man who had been shot, and a negro who had been with the i iti'j of shooters. From what we can eath er of thc affair from gentlemen of South Carolina and the colored Ku-Klux him self. ' THE TRAGEDY seems to have been enacted under thc fol lowing circumstances: The difficulty tcok ?dace at thc house of Mr. Angus Pied, sit uated cn Beach Island, about twelve mile? from Augusta. At a lntc#houron last Saturday afternoon a large band of armed negro tuen were srt?:n approaching the house occuniotlby Mr. Red. They were within a few fl st lt tho front door before they were discovered! Theladies in the house gave a .-cream nf terror as if apnrehensiveof the Moody intentions of th^ black fiends.

The following article from Hie Chicago 2Yilur,c satisfactorily answers a number ot questions which have been propounded. The narrow gauge railroad is exciting much interest throughout the country, and the explanations of the TVtowiwserve to throw much light on a subject so im perfect Iv understood : We are asked the quest ion . bow can a threefoot gauge railway be constructed fr.r ?4000 per mile, when i't costs;$15,000 per mile, to build a four-foot tc?-incli gauge track on thc best located routes. Theeost of building and equipping a railroad of a nar row gauge is in the proportion of its cube root, to that of a wide gauge. The cube of four feet eight and a half inches, which is thc narrowest of existing gauges, equals one hundred and four, and in this propor tion does the cost - of building and' equip ping roads of these respective tracks dif fer : $?700 will build os much three-foot road ns S 10,400 will construct of four feet and a half inch track.' To illustrate this principle: A man twice tile height of a boy will weigh eight times as much. If the boy is three leet high and weighs, say, forty and a half t pounds, a man five feet eight and inches, built in the same proportion, will weigh one hundred and' fifty-six pounds, although he is only two feet eight and a half inches taller "than the boy. A com mon freight -car weighs eight or ten tons, ?and carries a burden of ten tons. A freight locomotive weighs about thirty tons. On a three foot track it has been found that iron-made freight cars need weigh but 1500 pounds, and are amply strong enough to carry three tons of freight. In this case the" car can carry four times its own .weight, whereas on the wide track it cari bear a load only or slightly exceeding' its own weight. Twelve narrow gauge iron cars onlv ?reigli as much as an ordinary wood and iron freight truck, but'they will convey thirty-six tons of freight 'wher ever the big track can safely move under .nly one-fourth as much freight. An empty freight* train of one locomotive, tender and twenty trucks, will weigh over 100 tons, and. when fully loaded, as much moro, or 400 tons. One half of the pow er cf thc locomotive is, therefore, con sumed in moving dead weight and the other half in moving burden. A locomo tive, as we said, weighs 30 lons ; its ton ier, with coal and water, weighs 17 tons, and tue two together 47 tons ; so that the lead weight of the engine and tender is 24 per cent, of the em ply train, or ll per ant. of the laden train." The weight on each driving-wheel of a locomotive is be we-2n ?ve and six tons. The injury sus tained by the track, under this enormous pressure on c single point of the rail,must qc obvious at o glance. One locomotive, beering a pressure* o: six tons on each of J ts driving wheels, will do the rails more harm than a hundred locomotives running t the samo speed whose wheels press thc fail with but one lon and a half of pres .uro. In the one caso the iron is pressed ieyond.ita resisting power ; its ubre is : trained and crushed, and the rails .soon roar out under such excessive weight. 13ut to obtain the necessary adhesive pow r to move the train and its load up grades, locomotives must be built enor mously heavy, which speedily deteriorates md destroys the rails; and there is no ielp for it on a wide .track except by the use of steel rails, and they are liable to snap like pipe stems under the influence ? if'host and the weight of tire locomotive. On a narrow gauge track the locomotive nay bea tank engine, and carry its own ral and water and dispense with a ten ter. It need no; weigh but six ot eight tons with its supply of fuel anil water. Fhe pressure ol' its wheels will, therefore, but one anda half to two tons.each. A pony locomotive, weighing six tons, with a ton a?d a'half pressure on the rail from (ach wheel, will draw at the same speed nor*.' 'dian one-quarter as much load as*a hirty-ton locomotive; because a part ol die weight of I,);--latter hus to be thrown on the guiding wi.?.vis, which subtracts rather than adas to the power .of the ma chine. Four such pony engines will do the work of the big oue with ease. To g ?ther the}' will weigh, with their fuel and water, about thirty tons, whereas the big locomotiveand its tender weigh forty-seven tons. The former will move three tons of ?'?.eight for each of ''dead weight;" the latter will scarcely move but ene ton of freight to a lon of dead weight. In pas senger locomotives und cars, thc relative superiority of the narrow over the wide track, in un economical point of view, is even greater than in freight trains, as can easily bc demonstrated by analysis of the respective cost of opt rating each style of road. Ku-KIiii Committee. [ From the Washington Patriot.] The sub-committee of investigation now sitting here, suddenly decided to send three of their number to North and ?South Carolina, although there is. no incre rea on forgoing there than ko ether parts ol' thc South, which have been misrepre .e-nted in the same way. This movement wu? instigated by Mr. Pool, of North" -'arolina, and ex-fclovernor Holden, who .nay be regarded as the two men, of all others, who have been most active in vili fying the character of the State, whose iced name they dishonor as natives, and most vindictive in persecuting -their political opponents. In fact, the commit tee ha*, in the conduct of this investiga-; rion, been little else than the instrument ol personal malice and partisan vengeance. Pool and Holden were both violent Con federates, and the latter, through his' pa icr, was one of the most blatant advo cates of secession for .twenty years. He idheredto it during the war,"until snc ?ss of the Unionarmv began to bo cer tain, and then, with Pool and other tra it-rs. no turned his coat, and they all shouted as loudly for the ?nion as they jad before dene in its- denunciation. As <co:i as President Lincoln's proclamation appeared, Pool wrote to his agent order ing all hio negroes to be sold. "That pre cious document still exists, as a proof of -.is aficction for a race which he now :ourts with the lowest ans of distrusting We advise our friends in North and io?lh Cttrolina to be prepared for the .ommg cf this committee, consisting o? Senator Scott, Mr. Stevenson cud Mr. Van frump. They will leave Washington m-moYrow" evening, and have doubtlc-s. .orcj ared, through the connivance of Pool, Heiden, and men of the same stripe, a .dasi of ready^iwdc witnesses, such as bave b.?c-n produced here. Let them be met everywhere by tho best citizens, and ivitjb a calm, but decided insistance upon the fairest and fullest investigation. A MAN SHOT WHILE PLAYING PAK THEE.-A correspondent of thc Clarks burg (West Virginia) Conservative, wri ting on the 12th instant, says : A fatal accident happened on Leading creek hist week, which is a sad warning to ;ho--o who ar? in the habit of playing jokes on children. The facts are; as my inform - ant stated thom: A Captain Ford, ofBar oour county, happened near Mr. Jesse ' HoiT.ett's home with a panther skin, and seeing a little boy, about twelve or four teen years of age, a son of Mr. Hornett, in a skirt of woods near the house, donned the skin with the intention of frightening ! the little feliow, but as soon as. the boy saw what he supposed to bc a panther he ran to the house and took ilown his father's rifle, and went in pursuit of the panther. He did not have to go far before ho espied him. The boy rested the rifle orr a fence and fired. The man panther gave a dy ing shriek,-and, with a convulsive spasm, fell over mortally wounded. The little fellow did not see his- mistake until he went up to the wounded man. Ford lin gered two days, and then died. DEMAND OK COLORED PEOPLE TO.RIDE IS .SLEEPING CARS.-Wc learn that a number of colored persons have, within the past few days, applied at the office of the Jackson Railroad for apartments in the sleeping .cars, running m connection with the trains of that company, and that they met with a decided refusal. These cars do not belong to the company, but to private individuals, who pay a certain stipulated sum of money for the right of putting them on the road . Beihg -private property, the owners can let them to such persons as they may choose to select, and this attempt of .negroes to force then into the cars appears to bc a concert fort to produce a disturbance and the matter to a legal test. If negro permitted to ride in sleeping cars, people will be forced, nolens vole abandon th? use of those comfortab ?hieles of transportation. We fee the public generally will support an plaud th? course-taken by the owner matter.-K. 0. Bulletin.. . For the Advertiser. AUGUSTA, June 20, 1 MR.

Bnt, thank God, the hearts ot the people are right, and by their works they glori ously refute and rebuke these slanders against their own fellow-citizens and co patriots. The miserable motives, and ineffable meanness, of the Agent who attempts to prop up his own fallen fortuneshy attack ing the privat? character of his opponent, are too transparent to be misunderstood by sensible men. The versatility of some of these Agents in invonting calumny, is somewhat in credible.

The Territory of Columbia. ,WJiat we have always known as thc "District of Columbia," has been chang [ ed by'the Congress of tho United States into the Territory o'f . Columbia, and among the most brilliant triumphs of Grant's administration must be reckoned .the organization of this new Territory, with its. Governor, Legislature, and the imposing array of high dignitaries who have been selected to conduct the impor tant affairs of the cities of Washington and G eorgetown, and the little patch of ground formerly known as the District of Columbia.
