Ki. "-The recent fire at Cicernnatiwasone of Use moot disaetrous steamboat conflagrations that ever occurred on the Ohio. The fire de? partment did not arrive at thc scene until the flames bad fairly seized upon the fated boats ao rapid was the advance of tbe conflagration. Ah shat tuno tba body of flame waa. fully 500 fecf long by 100 wide, and shot rar into the air,, illuminating the whole city. The firemen conid do nothing but prevent tho extension of the fire to other boats, so fierce was the- heat. The symmetrical outlines of the boat? wore lost sight of in the shoes of flame and the danae volumes of smoke that enveloped them. She white spart and the delicate tr a cory of the cabins were one moment resplendent-the next they wera gone. Deprived of support, the decks quivered and crashed down to the hulk; the tall chimneys in a second toppled over and fell, some upon the wharf, some into the water. Oil burst from confinement, and flowed in broad streams far down upou the surface of the river, resembling, when viewed from the Suspension bridge, a separate rivulet of molten gold. Although the fire took place after two o'clock in the morning, the lower part of the city was crowded with thousands of people aroused from their beds. -The New York Sun announces the depar? ture of three more expeditious for Cuba. The -schooner General Putnam had a full cargo of arms and ammunition and a number of recraiw CA hoard, and abe sailed for Inangna, ona of the Bahama Islands, and thence, a distance of one hundred and eighty miles, the cargo and naen were sent across to Cuba. On th 3 4th and 5th two steamers were secured by the agents of the Junta, at a cost of 180,000 each, and each sailed fdr a port in the West Indies. These vessels took out over five hundred veterans of the late war, who had enlisted to serve under C?spedes. They were under the command of a Cuban general who had selected a full staff of American officers. Among the war materials which constituted the cargo were the follow lu?: One battery, iu?y iquipped; one thous? and stand or aims, tour thousand barrels of gunpowder, four hundred halos of gunny cloth tor bastions. Bomo of these military stores aro said to hare been purchased on Governor's Island. One of the steamers ia supposed to bave reached its destination, and the other has been spoken off the coast of Florida. The agents of the Junta have chartered other steamers to make voyages to the Bahama Inl? ands, and tie volunteers and munitions of war are to be taken thence to C?spedes without in? volving such vessels as may be chartersd in a breach of the neutrality laws. . . -We are at last to have a Martin vs. Mack onoobie case in this country. Bishop McTl vaine, of Ohio, and one of hiB '.retakotory'' presbyters, Rev. Mr: Tate, have bared their unbuttoned foils lor a real ritualistic fight. The bishop has no love for sc uhetic rehg'on; Er. Tate's ritualistic excesses, as they eoetn to Dr. Mell vaine, are very slight, indeed, when measured by tho New York standard. At the request of his congregation, be introduced a ?surpliccd choir, and " authorized processional singing of psalms and hymns by a procession of choristers entering the church door." At tho request of his bishop to discontinue the practice he refused, thinking that it was a matter for the vestry and not the bishop to de? cide.' Whereupon the bishop s nm mona him before an ecclesiastical tribunal, charged with violating bis promise to, " conform to the wor? ship and doctrines of the. Protestant Episcopal Church of Americ:," and furthermore with ?violating bis "ordination vow to follow the godly admonition of his bishop." The matter came np recently before the American Church Union, in New Tork, and a series of resolutions ?ere passed indorsing the action of Ber. Colin Tate, ard promising bira legal and pecuniary support. Several prominent ritualistic clergy? men spoke strongly in his favor, and rejoiced that an opportunity of testing the ritual ques? tion in an American ecclesiastical court had at .last been found. Mow that the foils have been crossed, we will wait the next pass. ' * ?HARLESTOI*. TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 18, 1869. An Important Work. The experience bf the last few years has demonstrated the fact that in , order to ob? tain railroads which will be of real benefit to the State, we must spend our money at korney and, as th er e ie no real antagonism o f interest and, we trust, no 'antagonism of feel? ing bet ween the up-country and the lower counties, it should be, lo the -general avan? tage so to arrange new lines that they will Borve as feeders to Charleston, as the re Oeiving, shipping and distributing point for all bouth Carolina. This etty, at all events, should be alive' to the importarfoe of widen? ing her channels of communication and im? proving hersjptmnectioa with the interior; and while they will be anxious to further the construction of any railroad which will de velo'pe the section through whioh it passes and increase the prosperity of the publio, Charlestoaiaas will.naturally attach a spe? cial value to linee whioh, although laid for locaT*purposes, have as an avowed objeet the bringing of trade to their oity. In this connection, the South Carolina Central Rail? road, should reoeive the early and favorable consideration of ?ur merchants and busi? ness mea. This road, whioh is to run from Sumter to Gourdin'sr where it will connect with the Northeastern Railroad, will undoubtedly make valuable tens of thousands of acres which now cannot find a purchaser. The market price pf the cleared and timber land will be trebled and quadrupled as soon at the road is open. It is no t str an ge, t h en " that Sumter and Clarendon are disposed to work vigorously to make successful an en? terprise which will enhance the Taine of all that they possess, and give them the rail? road facilities and the connection with a good market, without which fertile acree are of little avail and every growing crop is reduced in market prioe. 'But the Charleston merchant will-find the chief attraction of the South Carolina Central Railroad in the circumfitance that ii will give this city the business of two im? portant counties of the State. In I860, Sumter and Clarendon produced 23,000 balee of cotton, 1,000,000 pounds of rice, and 1,000.000 bushels of corn. This shows ?L l r...?.'.?vr .1. . 1 ??'- > what was the productive power.of the aee tion with, whioh Charleston is to be given a qnick and cheap connection. There were In the two counties in 1860, 219,505 acres of improved land, and 595,540 aores of unim? proved land whioh will be thrown open to the immigrant and the capitalist. And it needs no arithmetic to demonstrate what will be the effect of the new railroad trav? ersing this broad domain, in, stimulating the production of cotton, rice, eora, naval stores, vegetables and fruits. Here our advantage would begin; for this city would undoubtedly receive a shale of every addi? tional dollar whioh Sumter and Clarendon might make, And since the dose of the war, as is well known, the trade of a large part of the middle country has been diverted from Charleston by competing lines. The pur? chasers Of merchandise of different kinds have followed the produce of the soil, eo that'Baltimore and New York have enjoyed the benefit of the very business whioh nat? urally belongs to ourselves. Already the Baltimore railroad men, with Ur. Garrett of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at their head, are making arrangements to drain the whole interior of this State of its cot? ton ia the interest of Marylaad, aad how? ever small our means may be, it would be unwise ia the extreme to neglect the oppor? tunity which now presents itself of recov? ering a trade whioh has been lost, of check? ing the grasping poliey of our richer neigh? bors, aad of developing aa important section of country ia such a manner that its trade will flow to Charlestoa as the rivers flow to the sea. It seems to us, therefore, that the railroad to Gourdin's is an undertaking of great moment. The people along the line will do all that ia them lies. The Northeastcra Railroad will assist them as far as it caa. More thaa this, however, is necessary, aad we trust that our merchants and business men generally will subscribe to the stock of the road, not as a matter of unselfish generosity, but as a sure way of bringing here a current of trade and general busi? ness, a stream of buyers and sellers, which will be a source of profit to every man who is doing business ia Charlestoa. Ex-Aide rm an Barrow. We believe that Mr. David Barrow, who takee his seat as an Alderman from Ward 3 at each meeting of the City Council, and probably proposes to do so at the meeting^ of Council to be held to night, is not an Alderman, and has no right whatever lo aol in that capacity. Mr. Barrow was elected Alderman from Ward 3, on the Pillsbury ticket; on Novem? ber 10, 1868, at which time he resided in Anson-street, in the ward which he was elected to represent. His house in Anson street, however, was subsequently sold, he moved out of Ward 3, and now lives in Beestree?, in Ward 6. By removing from Ward 3, Mr. Barrow vacated the office of Alderman, and nothing short of a popular election can give him the right to a seat in Council. The law on the subject is found in ?An '.act to alter and amend- so muon cf the "second clause of the charter incorporating "the City of Charleston as relates to the ?qualification of voters for Intendant and "Wardens, and for other purposes therein "mentioned," passed December 18, 1817, and is in these words : "Provided, That the persona so tobe "elected for each ward Bhall, at the time "of eleotion, in addition to the other qual? ifications prescribed by law, be resi? dents of the ward for which they are "elected, and that tn removal from the same, "hit or their office* BHAXL BECOME VACANT, "and a new election be ordered by the City ??Council of Charleston." This is perfectly clear, and in at least two instances of late years an eleotion has boen held to filia vacancy caused by the removal of an Alderman from the ward from which he waa elected. Mr. Barrow removed from Ward 3 and now lives in Ward 6, and if these facts are correctly stated, has no more right to sit ia Council -as Alderman from Ward 3 than is pos? sessed by any of the many loafers who may be found in the streets of Charleston. TEE MORMONS, in spite of their "peculiar institution," have shown to the world in a striking manner what can be done by colonies going even to a wilderness, with energy, en? terprise, industry and the spirit of co-opera? tion to help them. Once a mere handful of adventurers, within a score of years they have grown to he a people more than 100,000 strong, living in more than 100 beautiful towns and vii ta cos, and possessing all the appliances and oom forts of complete civilizition. They have ail sorts of mi Ila, factories, foundries and workshops; all trades flourish with them; they have fine <tnd productive agriculture, and raise cal tie that are famous. They have long fed mining populations around thom with the produits of their farms, and have fashioned out of their mountain home the "garden of tho West." The regions of the South to which the immigrant is invited, while posses? sing all the advantages to which au established civilization and flivil organization can confer, are blessed by nature with a Boil, with a cli? mate and with resouroes of every kind with which those of tho wilds of Utah bear no com? parison. THE New York Evening Post gives the re? sults of an informal and unsolicited conversa? tion with the President, in the coursa of which he evinced n 3 little displeasure at the manner in which he had been imposed noon by men who he had thought could be trusted, by whom he was induced int > making appointments which bad 8mee proved to be improper. The remedy, however, was in bis own hands, and be would not hesitate to use it to purify the service from incompetent or dishonest men. In the future, be continued, no one would know whether be was to be appointed until his commission was signed, unless he was personally known to the President; Whether his administration was suc? cessful would depend much upon whether the revenue was properly collected, whiou under the m?nagement pf Secretary Bout well he felt assured would, if possible, be done. THE Albion, the Ecglish organ in Ne.w York, .states that so far as England is con? cerned there is not a word of truth in the ru? mored Triple Alliance. Per contra, the Cour? rier des Etats Unis, the mouthpiece of French officials in this country, intimates that an un? derstanding in regard tb a policy to be pur? sued towards tho United States has, no doubt, been arrived at by England, France and Spain, but doubts the conclusion of any treaty.
