Mobbing iu Philadelphia.

ing a pistol* bouda required of him, and his
.."friends kept from neting in his fa vor.Vy the
threats of other ai obs. He remains -in prison,
while the ruffians go free. Justice is no doubt
2 ~ a very. p? etty thing in the abstract. As admin is
' tered by the tender hnnde-ofan ochlocracy, we

tion. Ingersoll appears" to have drawn his
pistol only in self-defence:
'.'*.* .If'afloNAL SALUTE.--A national salute of thirty
.y eix guns was fired in Charleston on the Sd, "in
- honor," Says the Courier, "of the glorious lid
inga of peace." " T! J ey make a solitude, and cal 1
-.-it peao? " The Courier adda "The joyful pros
'.-.'.*- pouts of speedy, permanent peace, with the
restoration of civil law and order, were topics
of general discussion throughout the day. The
best filling prevailed, and every one seemed
anxious to devise some plan or make some
movement towards Charleston taking lier right
position in the national representation, lt was
..abo Loped ihnL some initiatory movement for
this purpose would be made by the people of
the up-country and interior, so that the action
should, as nearly as possible, be simultaneous."
No doubt! nd doubt! But there's the rub,
? matter Courier! Cool and easy! Bo not be
imp&lieul! There is much to be done and
thought ot before this be?utifnl consummation
- will be reached. . .
The South Carolina Railroad, we ara told,, is
to ba opened for travel by thc first of July;
under whal auspices, is not mentioned; brit we
-assume that the rights of property in the old
company, will not be affected in any way hy
the iuterference of the ?enemy, though it is as
..- much for their interest as ours that the road
should be rc-opensd between Charleston and
the interior. It is probable that tba military
authorities of that city will give their ?id to
the work.

KiLLMa OF BOOTH.-We give copious extracts
from the Charleston Courier of the circum?
stances in tba killing of Booth, the slayer of
? Lincoln. It was not a very valiant proceeding,
yet the Yankees are disposed to exalt the man
who shot bim into a sort of hero. He ls an
Englishman,-and his biography-is given iu the
New York ^Tintes, and if space is allowed ut,
we may give the history to our readers.
The attempt to assassinate Seward is said to
h:.ve been made by a man named Levais Paine.
He has been arrested aud Is in jail at Washing
ten. AH of the suspected conspirators have
been arrested, except one--John H. Surrott
and ihe sleuth hounds are said to be on his
OcruncU? Proceedings.

? "The wildest regrets," says the Charleston
Courier, "are expressed in- Washiugtou and
other Northern cities that Booth was not taken
alive." No doubt! They would have exulted
in his agonies, seeing him die inch by inch. II?
has mudo them very angry by disappoiui ing
them in this humane appetite; but Harrold, hit
alleged accomplice, and his companion when
slain, will, no doubt, be made to atone for thc
disappointment which Booth, dying gamo, lia?
occasioned them.
