Starr shot himself four times before taking his own life; two or throe swind? ling cases; a couple of mysteries, and half a dozou minor sensations. This may be oalled a very lively showing for a dull season. -A Washington telegram to tho New York Tribune says : "Some time ago the ace punt? ing officers of the Treasury Department noti? fied General G. T. Beauregard, who was, at the breaking out of the war, a major in the army and Superintendent in the West Point Military Academy, that he was charged on the books of the Irons my Department the amount of $10 30 on account of the Quartermaster's Department; and requested bim to pay the same. On the 20th inst. Beauregard replied from New Orleans, inclosing his account amounting to $165 59 for transportation from West Point to New Orleans in January and February, 1861, in obedience to orders from the War Depart? ment, relieving him from duty as Superinten? dent of the Military Academy, and sending him back to Now Orleans, bis former post. Beauregard says he presented bis account to the proper offioer in New York, the Quarter? master here being out of funds, but that it was hot paid, and has not since been paid. He therefore requests the Department to deduct tho amount of $10 SO from $165 50, and remit him the remainder as Soon as convenient. He Oleses by saying his resignation from the mili? tary service of the United States was accepted February 20,1861, and signs himself as Presi? dent of the New Orleans, Jaokson and Great Northern Railroad Company. The question was referred to the proper legal officer of tho Department, who has to-day decided ad? verse y to tho claim for $105 50, in accordance with the jo?nt resolution of Congross,approved Hatch 2, 1867, to prohibit the payment by any offioer of tho Govornmcnt to any person not known to ha vc boen opposed to tho rebellion, and in favor of i s euppression." -The Cincinnati papers are full of particu? lars of the recent destruction of a gasometer in that city. It was swung upon iron columns forty feet high ; it was composod of shoot iron, and was soventy-?ve feet in diameter. Nothing now romains of it savo tho mass of iron of which it waB composed, lying scattered in tho Immense basin of water ovor which it bung, and the huge iron columns to which it WJS suspended. It held at the time of the accident 875,000 cubio foet of gan, which had all in one second's time vanished like a flash of powder. So sudden was its consumption and dissipation into the atmos? phere that no Aro communicated to anything, ?ad, strange to say, little or no damage was done to surrounding buildings save the jarring of walls and the ora oking of a few panes of glass. It was fortunate that but one man met his death by the explosion. He waa B?i&covored for np on the iron framework which Supported the immense reservoir, perfectly Hoked with the exception of one boot; hi? face Waa blackened, bis hair burned from bis head, Ind his flesh crisped and scorched by the terri? ble heat. With great difficulty he was removed to his home, where he lived but ?ix honre. The lunge of the unfortunate man were lite? rally baked by the flame of the explosion. Shortly after the accident a panic arose in the YMt crowd of spectators. The people feared nuoibor explosion, aud turned andflod, ecroani mj, in every direction. They olimbod upon eaob o ber in their efforts to escape, and num? bers were thrown to the grouud and .muiplod upon. Hots were lost, ?nd iu eomo instan .-os clothing wae torn from tho backs of those who wcro striving to quit tho frightful scene. On Front-slreet, where tho panic was tho worst, several persons were knocked down and ren? dered insensible. Wild beasts never behaved .with snob ferocity os did this purging, howling, affrighted crowd. Tho IOSB will roach $75,000. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, MAY 31, 1869. 'I be End of the Urailroad War. It is with great pleasure that we learn from the Augusta papers, of Saturday, that the differenoeB between the South Carolina Railroad Company and the Columbio and Augusta Railroad Company have been brought to on end. These differences in? volved, as is known, a disagreement between the first named company and tho City of Augusta, and we hail the satisfactory ad? justment of o difficulty which threatened to become serious, os a sign that there-is to bo a lasting oommeroial peace between j Georgia and South/Carolina. . The terms of the treaty which has been concluded ore, according to the Chronicle aud Sentinel, (substantially as follows : "Tho Columbia ariel Augusta Railroad agree to pay to the South CaroliLO Railroad the sum of Bovonty-five thousand dollars in the bends of the former corporation, to bo taken by the latter at par valuo ; and in consideration for this amount the South Carolina Railroad agree to allow the Columbia and Augusta Road to intersect the track of the former at tho "turn" tablo," one mile on the other side of the Savan? nah river, and tho use of the track across the bridge over tho Savannah and along Washing ton-street, to th? Union Depot in this oity, un? til tho sixth of January, 1870, by which time the bridge of tho Columbia Road will, it is thought, be finished-the time and manner in whioh the track is to be thus used to be de? termined, in case of o disagreement between the other parties, by the President of the Georgia Railroad. "The City Council of Augusta agrees to grant to these two Railroad Companies the free use of the Washington-street track in perpetuity. The track to be used by them on equal terms, and it, together with the street, to be arranged and kept in thorough repair at the expense of the two roade; and all other streets which they may have to use in connecting their tracks with a oommon depot to be kept in the same manner, under the direction of the streets and drains committee. If any other road shall hereafter desire to use these streets connect? ing these roods with the common depot, for the purpose of entering the oity, it sholl be allowed to do so upon such terms as the Mayor of Augusta and the superintendents of the Georgia and the Macon and Augusta Railroad, constituting a board of referees, may deter? mine. "The two railroad companies agree to indem? nify the oity for all damages obtainedfrom.it in consequence of the running of their trains through the streets. "The City Council agrees to release the South Carolina Railroad from their previous con? tracts with the city relative to discriminations against Augusto in freights and passenger fares, except on the line between Charleston ona trna pi&ue, and also reieaee LUCU bum thc prohibition against their engines and cara run? ning through the streets. "The City Connell, the Columbia and Augusto Railroad and the Sonth Carolina Railroad pro? mise to stop all litigation." Suoh, substantially, are the terms of the agreement entered into on Friday hy the two Railroad Companies and the City of Augusta. They will, we think, be satisfac? tory to all parties ; for our railroads, in the present condition of the oountry oannot afford to waste their well deserved earnings in protracted litigation. We think that every railroad which traverses the Stile*' inoreases the value of the land, makes preduoe more saleable, and, by bringing them more closely in oontaot with the cen? tres of trade, advsnoes the interest and in oreases the prosperity of our people. In this wise the Columbia and Augusta Rail? road will be a benefit to South Carolina, and we believe that its managers will find it to their advantage, as it should oertainly be their desire.to work for their own State, rather than for the States on our borders. Railroad charity begins at home. A South Carolina railroad should find its greatest good in the greatest good of South Carolina. The City of Augusta, throughout the lit? tle difficulty, whioh has now been adjusted, has doubtless been actuated by the most proper motives. Augusta h?; desired to protect herself, and, if we at the other end of the line may have been disposed to think that she was somewhat harsh in her pro? ceedings, we oannot now find farther fault, and only wish her the same measure of prosperity that we devoutly covet for oar selves. Of the South Carolina Railroad C ompany, itbeoomes us to say a word. Beginning at a time when railroads in the United States were in their earliest Infancy, it straggled on until it reached a ripe maturity of use? fulness. The fortunes of this company have been those of the State. As South Carolina flourished so did it flourish. When our star paled this our first railroad seem? ed whelmed in hopeless ruin. But as order was evolved from chaos, and the machinery of our oommeroial life was again set in mo? tion, the South Carolina Railroad Company began anew its career, and for more than three years has been the main artery of our oommeroial and agricultural life. This, as we know, was not a spontaneous fruit of the condition of the times. It was the result of the great sagacity, the practical ability and the broad policy whioh have charac? terized the management of the road during the last few years. This it is whioh has enabled Charleston to send her oars to Mo? bile, to the Crescent Olly, to the hills of Vicksburg, and to the broad waters of the Ohio. This it is whioh has given. Charleston s> direot communication by steam with tho cotton marts of England. And this will, we b?liers, cause substantial form to bs given to that mighty idea, whioh has for its objeet to make this Stats the highway for tho trade of tho great West, and to make Charleston the exporting and importing oity, not only for th? Western States, bat for the vast Eastern Empire. ' This, whole conception has bfeefe worked ont by the President of tho Sonth Carolina Railroad Company with a singleness of aim Md an unselfishness of parp?te that oannot bo too highly praised, and which have en? titled him frequently, iu tho past, to the approval and oommondation of the stock? holders of his company. President Magrath has boon the life of the South Carolina Railroad Company, and is now the head and front of ita usefulness. Never forget? ting; tho interests of his company; never disregarding the interests of his State, he has worked steadily and manfully to make his company aa profitable to its owners as it is undoubtedly advantageous to our peo? ple. Litigation is always distasteful to the practical railroad man. But it has so hap? pened that President Magrath has been foroed into the courts to vindicate and pro teot the rights which he represents. This suit is now, we believe, at an end ; and knowing as we do the manner in whioh it was begun, and in wbioh it was carried oe, we are justified in saying, that the settle? ment accepted by President Magrath ja f0r bis shareholders and the public, the best that it was possible to have made.. So the war is over. And now there should bo no antagonism of railroad inter? ests, or railroad management. One more obstacle to the progress and prosperity of our State has been swept away, and Au? gusta and Charleston again join hands. -? ?'wu ? WE LEARN that a meeting oftheStcok. holders of the Columbia ancP Augusta Rail? road Company and the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad will soon be held in Co? lumbia, to determine the terms of the con? solidation of the two companies. The com? missioners of the two roads propose that the stock of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad be valued at $22 per share; that of the Charlotte and South Carolina Rail? road at par, and that four and -a-half shares of the former be reoeived for one share of the latter. This agreement will be ratified or rejected at the meeting to be held by the stockholders in July. ONE interesting phaso of American life abroad is portrayed with a good deal of shad? ing in a letter piintsd in the New York Evening Post from a German lady whoso works have been translated and widely-read in this country. She gives the results of her observation in Dresden, whither a goodly number of Ameri? can mothers have since the war taken theil daughters to be educated. To the astonish' ment of German wives and mothers, who can? not understand how domestio ties can be st lightly broken, these American ladies leavt their husbands behind. "America," she writes "has boon oalled among us the Paradise o; "women ; but our German women no longej "envy them this paradise, in which Adan "could do without Eve. IXL consequence "these roaming ladies, who prefer pleasure t< "duty, are looked upon with a sort of contemp "that has fallen os a shadow on a great na "tion." The quality of the education given to Ameri can children also excites the astonishment o of these practical and painstaking Germai mothers. The children are impressed with tb belief that in Germany cuitare comes by inspi ration, and that whatever requires effort am self-sacridco is not worthy of them. Oostl, dresses, extravagant entertainments, and op portnnities for flirting are provided to kee; them in good humor. The mothers have rc ception days and state festivities. They hav baila, pavttAa and masquerades. _They go t court and make themselves conspicuous When spring comes-as the hart panteth fo the water brook-they fly to the water in places, to Itftly, Switzerland, anywhere fo change. Of course, under these influence! American children are the despair of Germa teachers, and the mothers themselves lose th opportunity cf helping them by slighting th overtures of cultivated German society. One moro bitter plum from this letter is th? in which the writer acoounts in brief for th alleged unpopularity of Americans obroac They do not feel Rke reciprocating kindness They say as Frederiok the Great said of Yo! taire, "I squeeze the orange und then thro ?'away the rind." But Voltaire never forgav haviog been squeezed, notwithstanding a kin had done him the honor, and "the Germans d "not like to be squeezed, -though Americas "do them the honor.'' 7 jhusrtftft.
