ACCIDENT ON TEX SOUTH CABOLTNA RAIL?
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.

and 541 Broadway, and 82, 84 and 86 Mercer
street, on Thursday last, after it had been thir?
ty-six hours in a scorching heat, and on cut?
ting into it found the greater part of the books
sound and legible. The policies of insurance,
a large amount of money in bank bills, and
many valuable papers are well preserved.
Some of tho books in the lower corner were
charred by tho lons: exposure. The brass plates
and knobs on tho front of the safe aro all melt?

heat. I shall want one of your ?new pattern
