ROAD-The down train from Columbia, met with.an accident on Saturday which delayed it for about three hours. When near Stilton Station the engine, baggage and mail cars were thrown off the track. There was no dam age done and the train wa9 soon replaced on the rails._ THE MUSIC ON THE BATTERY, last Saturday .evening, was well attended, notwithstanding the coolness of the weather and the high wind. This delightful promenade is likely to become more than ever a favorite resort during the summer. Mayor Cogswell is determined that the Battery must be placed in its former good order. Seats will be furnished, fences ropaired, a general resurrection and a reconstruction commenced in a few durs. THE THEATRICAL COMPANY of the Temple tons will necessarily suspend operations dur? ing the short. stay of the Opera. Mrs. Glad? stone's very successful engagement closed on Saturday with the "Corsican Brothers." Im? mediately after the brief opera season, several dramatic novelties, now in preparation, will be presented; and our readers will be glad to hear that the charming Vane sisters will re? appear in the leading parts. THE FREEDMAN'S SAVINGS BANE of Charleston must be in a flourishing condition. We see that it has changed i te quarters from State-street near Chalmers, to a newly fitted up and far more commodious office, No. 74 Broad-street, between Church and Meeting streets. We are glad tn note this evidence of the prosperity of j an institution which may, in a measure, be re? garded as an index of the thrift, industry and steadiness of otu- colored people. * PERSONAL.-We had the pleasure last night of meeting Mr. John A. Grubb, the representa? tive of the Savannah News and Herald. Mr. V?rubb visits our city not only in behalf of that .paper, but as a general newspaper agent for South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama. He brings the highest testimonials from lead? ing journalists, and we commend him to our business men and others who may wish to open (Communication with the Forest City. 'IMPORTANT TO TAX-PAYERS.-The time al? lowed to delinquent citizens to come up to the '.Treasurer's office and 'settle their little ac? counts is nearly at an end. The city needs money-the laborers, the police and a hundred Anxious officials want money-and if the tax .payer doesnot respond beforo the 1st of April, i imperative orders. have been issued ta-tum ?him over to the Sheriff. It .will not prove an April fool joke,;and those who have not paid their arrean should not postpone that duty an ?other day. ANOTHER OUTRAGE IR THE WESTERN PART OF "THE CITY.-On Saturday night, about 9 o'clock, ?he favorite servant of a leading citizen, a highly respectable colored woman, was knocked down, at the corner of Smith and Warren streets, and robbed of all the money -in her possession. From the description she gave, the villain was a light mulatto-possibly a white man. But whether white or black, the ?outrage illustrates the necessity for a much more rigid and effective patrol of the western part of the city than is provided for at present. The complaint is universal by the residents of | -?hat locality that they frequently walk several .-guaras without meeting a policeman, and life and property are thus measurably insecure. The inside cf our homes and tho outside of j our persons certainly require as much consid? eration as our streets and sidewalks, and we hope that at an early day the Council will see to it that there is a sufficient force added to ?he police in the western part of the city to re? move the well grounded fears of midnight rob? bery which now prevail. GOOD NEWS FOE THE FIREMEN.-Among the improvements contemplated by the new Mayor is the rebuilding of the engine houses burnt in '61. The City Engineer has prepared plans -and specifications, which will be presented to the Board on Tuesday. For the present but three of these houses will be rebuilt-the Phoe? nix in Cumberland-street, and the .Etna and Hook and Ladder No. 1 in Queen-street, on tho ?ame lots heretofore occupied by thede compa mes. These buildings will be quite ornamen? tal, and will be constructed with every conveni? ence for the firemen. The engine room will be finished as speedily as possible, but tho halls will not receive the same attention until the city treasury is replenished. The three companies mentioned above are now occupy? ing stables and buildings entirely unsuitable for the purpose, and the change to their old quarters will be most welcome. The Stonewall, Pioneer and Yoting America companies are also without engine houses, but they must bide their time until the more fortunate trio have been housed. -*~TB?-OPERA IN CHARLESTON.-Our neighbors of Savannah, if their newspapers may be behoved-and whoever doubted a newspa? per? - last week went wild over Graus' famous opera troupe, which, after filling the hearts of | New Yorkers with musical delight, has com? menced a tour of the South. Thus far they have performed with signal success and to fashionable audiences in New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery, Columbus, Macon, Atlanta, Au? gusta and Savannah. To-night they open at the Hibernian Theatre in this city with the opera of "Faust," arrangements to this end having been made by Mr. Templeton, and they wdl remain for three days. Charleston has always been celebrated for "its appreciation of | art, and we have no doubt, notwithstanding the stringency of the times, that large and re? fined audiences will welcome what the lapse of J years has made a novelty to most of us, name? ly-the genuine opera. We learn there are about thirty persons con? nected with the troupe, among whom are the artists who nightly, for many months, have commanded the plaudits of the opera-goers of j New York from the boards of the Academy of ] Music. We also learn that a considerable number of | our citizens have already engaged seats for three nights; but there is room for many moro, and that subscribers, who desire to secure the most desirable places, can do so by applying at nine o'clock this morning at the music store of Mr. Henry Seigling on King-street. The recular ticket eales of reserved seats will begin at ten o'clock A. M., at the same place. Ho! now for white kids, gorgeous neck ties, Lubin's detracts, Aimer's Cologne, and all sorts of fashionable sensations for at least the next three days. Fearful Accident In Rntlcdgc Avenue. BEWARE OF KEROSENE -ANOTHER TER OTELE CA? TASTROPHE - -A TOUNQ GIRL BURNED NEARLY TO DEATH. Another of thosf frightful incidents which every newspaper in the country has had occa? sion to record, resulting from the careless use of kerosene, occurred last evening, at the southeast curner of Rutledge and Morris streets. It appears that about dark last evening a young German girl, who was employed aa a servant on the premises of Mi. Muller, of the firm of Muller ft Melchers, on King-street, was filling a lamp, which it is supposed was ht at the time, when the fluid took Are. An ex? plosion followed, and in a moment the girl was wrapped in flame. She dashed out of the house screaming, and apparently endeavored to reach the adjoining residence. At this juncture Mr. J. Lafitte, who, with two ladies, was going up the avenue, rushed forward to aid the poor creature, now one sheet of fire. Several colored persons and another white man quickly gathered, and the latter throw? ing off his coat, Mr. Lafitte seized it as the most available means for quenching the blaze. Getting behind the frantic girl, he threw the garment around her head and shoulders, tore off the dress, and with admirable presence of mind, as soon as he could do so, threw the girl upon the ground, when the fire was put out. Dr. Pelzer was immediately sent for, and the sufferer, sensible but frightfully injured, was conveyed into the house. Sho was removed to the Hampstead Hospital last evening, but we learn from Dr. Pelzer that her recovery is extremely doubtful, the limbs, face, shoulders and bosom being shockingly burned. Time and again, we have cautioned the pub he against the careless use of kerosene. One might as well toy with a barrel of gunpowder as with some kinds of this inflammable and dan? gerous material, and we fear that not until a s co re of houses have been destroyed, or as many human beings been mutilated or mur? dered by it, will the lesson be taught, which a single accident like the above should enforce. The Artesian WeLL, It is generally known to strangers visiting our city, and to the younger members of our community, that Charleston has an Artesian Well, operations on which were commenced some twenty years ago; that the water of this well is tepid, slightly saline and alkaline in taste, and is said to be good for the cctring of divers diseases. We know, from occular de? monstration, that horses and mules drink it with as much avidity as their riders and drivers exhibit in the presence of the beat of "Bour? bon." Visitors from abroad generally like it very much, and naturally inquire why it is not analyzed, ?hy not bo Med and exported, as is the Seltzer Wasser, and Vichy, and "Congress," and Kissingen, and Rockbridge Alum, and others. For bathing purposes, our artesian water is perhaps more pleasant than that of any of the celebrated spas on either continent; and all that is needed to make Charleston a famous and much frequented "watering place," com? bining excellent mineral springs with the ad? vantages afforded by her position beside the sea, is a little more life and enterprise among our citizens, and a determination to make the most of the gifts God has given them. To satisfy numerous inquiries, we addressed ourselves to our friend, Dr. C. U. Shepard, Jr., for an analysis of this water, and he has kind? ly famished na the subjoined statement, the result of five analyses, carried on at period j of about three weeks' interval, all of them since New Tear. Dr. S. shows that there is not only a difference in the quantity of the solid ingre? dients at different dates, but that the sub? stances vary slightly in the proportion to one another. Dr. S. closes his letter by saying: "I hope at some future day to be able to give not only this well water, but also the other more recent one, a closer analysis. Meantime, this may be of some advantage to your feliow citizens, and of interest to you, who were kind enough to propose the matter to us." ANALYSIS Of the artesian water, Charleston (first well), depth about 1250 feet; temperature of water at spout 87 degrees Fahrenheit. Specific Gravity (at 14 degrees Reaumur or 63& Fahrenheit), 1.0015. Amount of solid ingredients in the water (Residuum obtained by evaporation), 0.228-0.234 per cent. In 100 parti solid ingredients there are: Bicarbonate of Soda.62.749 Chloride of Sodium.47.051 Bicarbonate of Lime.0.0883 Bicarbonate of Magnesia.-.0.01376 Silica.0.00102 Phosphates of Iron, Lime and Alumina,.0.0004 Organic matter. .0.0017 Traces ol Sulphuric Acid. In 100 parts of well water (old artesian): Bicarbonate of Soda.0.1435 Chloride of Sodium.,.0.128 Bicarbonate of Limo.0.000273 Bicarbonate of MagneaL..0.000032S Silica.U.0OO0233 Phosphates of Iron, Lune and Alumina_0.0000093 Organic matter.0.0000467 True Carbonic Acid.0.0018 0.27386 There would then be in 100 gallons (impe? rial) of the Water (G2 degrees Fahrenheit) about lh pounds bicarbonate of soda and 14 pounds common salt. The foregoing analysis was conducted with great care, and with the best apparatus, re? cently imported, by Dr. 8., assisted by his father, the well known Professor of Chemistry in the Medical College of South Carolina, whose reputation aa an analytical chemist extends over the whole continent. Dr. Shepard, Jr., has but recently completed his studies in the best Universities of Germany, where he spent four or five years, devoting himself specially (and with credit and success) to chemistry. He gave a series of lectures this winter at the Medical College in this city on organic chem? istry, and showed to those who heard him and were able to appreciate his tuition, that he is thorough in bis branch, "posted ap to date," and a hard worker. In the name of our com? munity we tender thanks to the yoong profes? sor for his disinterested kindness in taking so much pains for the public benefit. THE NOBTHEBN MALL.-We understand that some of the railroads on the through route be? tween this city and New York have oxpressed their determination to commonce to-day run? ning their trains according to tho new sched? ule referred to in THE DALLY NEWS some time ago. By this schedule the through mail would leave New York at noon and arrive hore about ll A. M. As the roads South of Weldon have not yet agreed to conform to the arrangement, we shall not bo surprisod if our Northern mails for a while should be a day or so behind time. GOOD NEWS FOR STOCKHOLDERS OF THE MEM? PHIS AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD.-We learn that the President of the Momphis and Charles? ton Railroad has written Messrs. Hastie and Willis, directors ol the road, that on the lGth of March he had ordered funds to Charleston to pay the South Carolina stockholders three per cent, upon their investment in the same. By this arrangement a half per cent, will be saved to the stockholders in exchange. Mr. Hastie has also received a letter from the Pres? ident of the Company, which will be extremely interesting to tho bondholders. It may be seen at his pls.ee of business. This will be cheerful intelligence to many of our citizens interested in this road, who did not expect much, at least during the present year. The amount of shares owned in South Carolina is very large. The city itself owns about half a million, and thU is the first divi- j dend since the war. Tbe Detective Police Department. AN HOTO IN THE CITY HALL BASEMENT-WHAT ONE SEES THERE-THE " BLACK HOLE " A WAHT> PLiCE FOE VILLAINS-THE OBOANIZATION AND FAY OF THE DETECTIVE FORCE-WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED, AC. In the basement of our City Hall is an in? stitution which in little more than a year has become as familiar to the sinners of the com? munity, as our churches are familiar to the saints. Dark, dismal labyrinthian ; suggestive of modern Borgias, catacombs, Blue Beards, anything you please that calls up memories of J " goblins damned" Even the visitor feels a cold chill creeping like an east wind through his bones, when candle in hand he makes an exploration of the mysterious apurements de? voted to the purposes of the Detective Police of Charleston. We recently paid the place "a moixung call'' -in ODO sense, a place so musical that all the windows have "bars," the reporters take "notes," the prisoners "sbake," and the of? ficers perform the allegretto maestoss move? ment to perfection. You enter the front door. Straight before you ie an iron grating, which revolves upon a central pivot, and is like the portal to infernal darkness. Turn to the right; knock; a private office is unlocked, and you are confronted by some one of the officers who is perpetually on duty. There is a quick in? quiring professional review of your person habit is such a curious thing-as if John Jones had published a hand-bill giving your dimen? sions and the length of each particular mous? tache, and you answered the description to a dot. You don't fairly stop shivering until the ice of conversation has been .broken, and you are invited to subside into a seat, when, your errand being a social one, you soon discover that these sharp-eyed, watchful men whose business it is to be ever on the trail of crime are possessed of a courtesy of manner and gentleness of speech well calculated to faa ten ate any individual whom they may desire to place under either social or criminal arrest. Looking around the office, you see hanging against the wall tho weapons of the asveral members of the force, and in close proximity, the wristlets or handcuffs wherewith the prey is secured. In another part of the room is a picture-gallery, which is being rapidly filled up with the portraits of the most notorious scoun? drels with whom the department has dealt, or who are yet under surveillance. And such faces! It would throw nature into a night sweat to see her handiwork. It has 1 .eon moulded into all shapes, patterns and colors, from the una? dulterated villian who wears a black monotony of rascality to the civilized scoundrel, who looks almost handsome in the magnificent intensity of his well-affected innocence. Some of these specimens of iniquity bave been hung ; others are now serving out their time in the Peniten? tiary, while, still others are yet adrift with a re? ward and a halter in the perspective. Here, too, are kept the books of the depart? ment, wherein are entered the details of every complaint, crime, arrest or reward, connected with the peculiar business of the office. Here, also, every officer is obliged to report daily what he has done, where be has been, and whom he has "piped." Open a drawer in the desk and you will find a score of un claimed ar? ticles, such as watches, silverware, spoons, bracelets, jewelry, &c-each of which has a history which is not unfrequently romance itself. The small dramas of real life are repre? sented by these comparatively insignificant things to a degree that is astonishing to any? body but the cool detective who narrates the circumstances of the curious chase by which they wero recoverod as matter-of-factly as the printer sets np this paragraph. Adjoining this office is a larger apartment, where are arranged bunks for the night accom? modations of the officers; where they disguise themselves for special occasions, whenever dis? guise is required; whence they sally forth with "bull's eye and baton," to make their midnight raids on thieves and burglars, and where they return with the spoils of the expedition. Here, also, is the entrance to the cells or dungeons places black as Erebus-in whioh the rogue is left to chew the cud of solitary meditation, and sharpen the razor of his conscience on tbe whetstone of tho situation. If there be any? thing in the world calculated to open a guilty villain's heart to the inquisitorial crowbar of a detective police officer, it is just such surround? ings aa he finds on the inside of one of theso twelve foot dens of darkness, where the night? mares revel, and purgatory seems actually be? gun. A word with reference to- the organization and results of this department, and we are done. The importance of a detective police system in Charleston has long been recognized, but it was not until Captain C. B. Sigwald: tbe present efficient Chief of Police, pressed the matter in 1866, and by dint of hard labor, car? ried his plans through the City Council, that they were adopted, and the desired auxiliary department created. Lieutenant H. W. Hen? dricks was placed in command of the new o: ganization, under whose direction, subject to tho orders of the Mayor and Captain Sigwald, are the following officers : T. B. Chapman, S. G. Coates, T. J. Caldwell, N. Davis, P. Hogan, J. D. Myer, Moses Levy, and B. Gray. The clerk is Mr. Julius LePrince. What these nine officers have accomplished is .best shown by the books of the department. Last year $14,000 worth of property was recov? ered; and this year up to the present time upwards of $10,000 in money has been recov? ered. From eight o'clock in the morning un? til twelve o'clock at night, every man is "on duty," for which he receives the pay of $50, per month-a sum just one half that which is paid to a New York " Metropolitan." The institution is requisite to tho interests of the city, and ought to be sustained ; and we trust the financial condition of our people will soon be such that all their public serrants can be bettor remunerated for thou* arduous labors. ROBBEBY AT TUL CITADEL-THE SAFE AT GENEBAL GLITZ' HEADQCABTEBS BBOKXN OPEN AND PL?NDEBED.-On Saturday night the safe at General Clitz' headquarters, in the Citadel, was broken into and robbed of $375 in green? backs and sundry notes of some valuo. From the examination it appears that the safe was taken from thc office into the area and thero broken open by repeated blows with a cannon ball. Fortunately the amount in the safe was quite small, and the thieves did not secure much plunder. But the ill-gotten booty will hardly prove their gain, as the United States dotcctives are on their track, and oue soldier has already been arrested. The safe stood in the main room, and could be easily carried off | by two strong men; but it is somewhat of a mystery how it could be broken open without attracting the notice of the sentinel at the sallyport or entrance gate. A rigid investiga? tion has been instituted, and the guilty parties will be soon brought to the bar of military jus? tice-which is generally short and sweet.

MAYOR'S COCET.-An individual who bad un? lawful possession of ton head of chickens was oidered to restore them to the rightful owner. A lover of the weed fumigated one of the wharves and was compelled to pay the usual price of such incense. Three parties who kept liquor on their prem? ises for their own use only, were charged fifty dollars for not informing the city authorities of the fact. An individual who thought it best in these troublous times to be prepared for any emer? gency, had a twenty-five pound keg of gun? powder in his store. His forethought was com? mended, but the experiment cost him one hun? dred dollars. Several merchants who had been using false weights and measures, were referred to the commissioners of the market. A colored vagrant and cheat, was sent to jail to learn thrift and honesty. A Jehu who had hitched his animale to a lamppost, contrary to city ordinances, was constrained to pay five dollars for the privi? lege. UNITED STATES CO?BT-HON. GEO. 8.
