THE LATE Ancnuisnor SPALDING - Not only the members of the Romun Catholic Church, but every one who has any knowledge of the life and character of Archbishop Spalding, have been grieved at the'intelligence of his death, in Baltimore, on Wednesday afternoon hutt, the 7th instant. Tn the course of more than forty years' service in the Ro? man Catholic faith, first as a priest in the Western oouutry, und gradually on? ward through more elevated positions, nntil he was placed at the head of the Senior Archdiocese of tho United Staten, he bore a noble reputation as a cleric, and won the honorablo esteem of the world. With his own religious fold he held a place close to tho hearts of thou? sands, and men who were widely sepa? rated from him in the tenets of his faith honored him for his upright character, Christian devotion and extended learn? ing. No prelate in the American Church stood higher, and there was a general belief that if any of the vacant seats in the Sacred College were to be allotted on this Hide of the Atlantic, Archbishop Spalding would be the first to receive a Cardinal's hat. "THE FASTEST TIME ON RECORD."-An old ex-uttachee of thu South Carolina Railroad addressed us the following note yesterday, with the request that wo would publish it. lb is a reply to a pa? ragraph which appeared in tho Courier, referring to "the fastest timo ever mude on a Southern road:" "In your morning issue, in rcferenco to the fastest time on u Southern road, I beg to suy, twenty-four years ngo, as eugiueer on tho South Carolina Rail? road, 1 ran tho locomotive "Langdon Cheves" from Charleston to Hamburg, S.

Louis, on tho Rock? ford, Rock Island and St. Louis Rail? road, which was duo at Alton junction ut 6:10 on the 7th, when ubout three quarters Toi a -mile below upper Alton ntation, came into collision with a froight traiu going North. The baggage car and first couuh were telescoped, and then almost instantly took fire. The scene that ensued was most appalling. The unfortunate passengers were most of them caught between the oar seats, aud egress from the cur was nearly impossi? ble. The flames enveloped tho doomed cars almost instantly, and tho terrified passengers were left to be slowly rousted alive. (Jp to ll A .M. tho charred und blackened remains of four victims of this fearful accident hod been recovered, and were lying iu tho snow uwaitiug the coroner's inquest. Altogether there aro four killed and thirteen injured. The wrecking party is still busy at tho wreck, and more casualties may bo reported. Thu freight train should have side truck? ed at the junction, but, instcud of doing so, kept straight ou. Baker, the con? ductor of the freight train, jumped off wheu the trains collided, aud sought safety in flight. It is said the engineer aud fireman followed him, but this lacks confirmation. The whole responsibility of the affair is thrown upou Baker. Experiments with submarine torpe? does aro new making in Boston harbor, in order to familiarizo the officers ami men of the United States navy with the method of handling this new instrument of warfare. Recently a 100-pound tor? pedo was lowered iuto the water from a spar projecting from the bow of tho United States steamer Wyoming. The torpedo wus exploded by electricity, aud u volume of water was sent up to a dis? tance of 300 feet. Jets of water, re? sembling a largo fountain, wore also thrown to a height of 2130 feet. An amateur theatrical performance t was given in Selma, Alabama, recently, which came uear having a tragic conclu- ! sion.

Tho flames were soon smothered in a carpet, but not until the unfortunate young lady had boeu rather severely burned. - .?.<?-' A SOUTH CAKOLISA KNOW NOTHINO.
