TsaC Darlington Massacre.

On Wednesday, at Burlington \. j.
twenty-five persons were killed and some fiji
ty wounded by what is called railroad &C
cident Since the disaster at Norwalk, il
1893 no such wholesale slaughter had occurred
on amy railroad III the country. The facts
have been clearly ascertaned by our report
ers OF the different Journals and arc duly spread
before our readers. The points in the case
Which especially call for comment are the fol-
lowing:
|. Though this road is one of the great
est and most profitable thoroughfares in the
country it has but a single track This is
owing to the corrupt monopoly system main
, tanned by the state of New jersey in def
ance of her own interest and the public wei
fare, and to the destruction of her good name
Had there been two tracks this dreadful event
would not have happened "a
H. The highway across the railroad was
neither carried over on Il bridge nor protected
by suitable gates with proper attendants to
prevent carriages from going upon the track
except when absolutely safe. Had these safe
guards existed we should not now deplore the
sckening calamity.
Ill. The conductor saw the danger and
tried to stop the train-which our readers will
remember was running backward-but the
bell rope was out of order so that he could
not ring the bell. But for the arrangement
of this apparatus the calamity might posi-
bly, been avoided.
". The train was running backward at
an unjustifable rate of speed, considering that
the engineer could not see any obstacles on
the track. Had proper prudence been OBJ
served in this respect, many families would
not now be mourning the dead of that awful
catastrophe.
V. The train was out of its time Had
it been run according to the regulations OF
the road, there would have been no such
slaughter.
These are the facts which form the charac-
ter of this whole affair. They appear to us
to show conclusively TINT the Camden and
Amboy Company are pecuniary responsible
to the sufferers, and that the conductor and
engineer are criminally responsible to the pub
lie. In any other country than this, and we
had almost written in any other State than
New Jersey, they would at once be arrested
and tried for murder.-N. Y Tribune.

From the Chicago Democratic Pre-
The Currency Again.

The Tribune of yesterday reminds the public that
some years ago, when under different management,
that sheet engaged in war upon the Wisconsin Ma
rine and Fire Insurance Company, then under the
control of George Smith & Co. The Renaissance
should be of service the present managers of that
journal. The attack of the Tribune utterly tailed to
accomplish its purpose. George Smith j. Co. sus-
tanned themselves throughout the run that followed
a, some half dozen different points at which their
agencies were established, and when the excitement
had spent itself, the credit of the firm was bet
ter basis than ever befUre That was one result of
the Trbune's attack. Another result was a wide
spread arrangement in the business OF the country,
the effects of which felt in the humbIest cottage
in the land as well as at the desks of the heaviest
operators. The present course of the Tribune and Of
those with whom it is cooperating, will end in pre-
Cise!v the resultS-wth this exception, that as
the business of the city and country much lar
ger than then, the disastrous consequences will be
greater.
The fling of the Tribune as TO 8" change OF opin-
ion along with change Of quarters, has but little
to do with the question. y man is either fool or
a knave who cannot or will not learn wisdom by
perience. We say again, we have often said be-
fore, that the Georgia system Of barking does not
meet with appreciation. But this is reason
why we should rashIy llunge into a crusade against
it, knowing, as we do, from past experience, that
the only effect of such will be jeopardAe
and greatly damage the interests of every class in
community, except, perhaps, the brokers who
making the Let those who so jealous in
making this fight and who claim to he acting upon
principle, originate plan by which the business of
the Northwest can he supplied without resort to
the present mode ofbankng, and pledge ourselves
to aid them with pen voice and vote to the of
our abilities. But bindIy and rashy to engage in
fight which will unsetle the monetary affairs of the
country and damage the interests of every citizen,
with the certainty before Of failing to accomplish
any good is responsibility too great and fearful for
to assume. Those who cannot will not be
made wise by experience, can have all the laurels
for their wearing which such will bring
to them. -.. 81

Tie Palmetto Regiment.

From an article on SCOTS Battles in Mex
Co" contained in the August ntir,Ier of "lI.r-
pef's Magazine" we extract the following account
Of the part performed BY this regiment iii the
affair Of Churubusco:
"Soon after The battle COMMENDED, Scott sent
perse's and Shield,' briGaIes b* the lett,
through the fields, to attack the enemy in tho
rear. On the causeway, opposed to them, were
planted Santa Annals reseryes-5,000 foot abd
1000 horse-in measure protect, by dense
growth Of magt!ef SHIELDS aarancsd intrepidy

exposed to their whole fire. Morgan, Of the 18th
fell wounded The New York regiment suffered
fearfuIly, and their leader Col. Burnet; was
disabled. The Palmettos Of South Carolins
and the 9th, under Ransom, wcro rs severely
cut up; and after while all sought shelter in
and about large barn near the causeway.
Shields, in an agony at the failure of his move
ment, cried imploringy for volunteers to follow
him. The appeal was Instantly answered BY
COL Butler, OF the Palmcttos: Every South
Caroliuian will follow you to the dea,h!' Tho
cry was contagious, and most of the New York.
e.s took il up. Forming at angles to the cause.
way, Shields led those brave men under an
incessant hail Of shot, against the village Of
Portales, where the Mexican reserves were post
ed. Not trigger was pulled till they stood at
hundred and fifty yards from the enemy.
Then the little band poured in their volley,
fatally answered by tho Mexican host. Butler
already wounded, was shot through tho head,
and died instantly. Calling to the Palmettos
to avenge his death, Shields gives the word to
charge. They charge-not 400 in all-over
the plain, down upon 1000 Mcxicsns, securely
posted under cover. At every step their ranks
are thinned Dickinson, who succeeded Butler
in command Of the Palmettos, siczes the eolors
as the bearer falls dead; the next moment be is
down himself lnortally wounded, and Major
GLADDEN. snatches them from his hand Adams,
Moragne and nearly half the gallant band are
PROSTATE A very few minutes more and there
will be no one left to bear the glorious Hag5.
But at this very moment deafening roar II
heard in the direction of the tete de pont. Round
shot and grape, rifle balls and canister, come
crashing down the causeway into the Mexican
ranks, from their own battery. Worth is
there-the gallant fsllow-just in time
