death of Beauregard, who was killed by one OF
the big guns Of Fort Sumter, with full descrip-
tions of his funeral, which was attended in

VINO owned tne CataIine !

There was much dispute at one time, shortly
after the burning Of the steamer Cataiine, o.
to who owned the vessel. If am not much
mistaken, the records Of the Congressional
Committee have made that matter clear; Inc
owner Of the Cataline was Hon. o. b. Matte,
son, Of Utica, who purchased her Tor eight
thousand dollars. Shortly afterwards, ne sold
her to company Of four persons, VIZ Thurlow
Weed, John e. Develin, o. b. Matteson ana
Gilbert G. Davidson. These gentlemen PAID
Mr.. Matteson eighteen thousand dollars ior tne
boat, Che sum Of the purchase money being al,
vided into four notes, each for four thousand
Eve hundred dollars. Each OF the four gentle
men named became the indorser OF three notes
and the maker Of one. Shortly after tais pnr-
chase was made, the boat was chartered 20 tne
Government. By this speculation, Matteson
appears to have made Eve thousand hve hum
dred dollars clear, besides retaining one fourth
interest in the lucrative charter which ne and
his eonjyeres were enabled to obtain Wah'
Cor. N. Y. Times.
The burning Of the boat was big specuia-
ton. It was swindle to charter her as was
