~ The New York Courier des Etats
Unis is annoyed at the character Of the ex-
citement in New York: ''In looking at
the almost joyous character of the excite
ment of the masses, no one would suspect
that it was occasioned by civil war des-
tined to drown the ancient and common
nationality in the blood of men who were
till now considered brethren. We have
witnessed black hours in France, where the
people Of our country were condemned to

General Beauregard.

The Charleston Mercu,y of Thursday
says: "General Beauregard, with his staff,
Maj. D. R. Jones, Assistant Adjutant-G Gen.
eral, and Coils j.. L. Manning, W. P. Miles,
A. G. Rice, and Joseph Hayward, left
Charleston yesterday, by the Northeastern
railroad, en- route, We have reason to be-
lieve, for Virginia. So the abolition troops
may, after all, have an opportunity Of see
ing, to their great dismay, the distinguished
Creole general, whom the facetious editors
of Yankeeland have so cleverly boxed up
and sent to France"
We also find in the Mercury the follow.
ing letter from this distinguished officer:
CHARLESTON, May 27, 1861.
My DEAR GENERAL. : | sincerely regret
leaving Charleston, when its inhabitants
have given me such welcome that I now
consider it as my second home. 1 had hoped
that, when relieved from here, it would have
been to go to Virginia in command Of the
gallant Carolinans, whose courage, patience
and zeal I had learnt to appreciate and ad.
mire; but it seems my services are required
elsewhere, and thither 1 shall 60, not with
joy, but with the firm determination to do
more than my duty if I can, and to leave as
strong mark as possible on the enemies Of
our beloved country should they pollute its
soil with their dastardly feet.
But rest assured, my dear sir, that what
ever happens at first, we are certain to tri
umph at last-even if we had for arms only
pitchforks and fint-lock muskets-for eve.
ry bush and hay-stack will become an am
bush, and every barn fortress.
The history of nations proves that a gal
liant and free people, fighting for its indie
pendence and 6resides, is invincible against
even disciplined mercenaries at few dol
lars per month. What, then, must be the
result, when its enemies are little more than
an armed rabble, gathered together hastily.
on a false pretence and for an unholy pur
pose, with an octogenarian at its head 2
None but the demented can doubt the issue
I remain, dear general, yours sincerely,
G. T. BEAUREaARD.

Total debt. -.

The interest on this sum is 81 1878 ,fs5 Year be-
fore last lending September 80, 1900 the road
earned net 81 ,s27 ,406, being s44s92 in excess Of
the charge for interest; and It may be remarked
that contrary to the practice Of many of rail-
roads, the whole cost Of construction and repairs
for the year was charged to working expenses,
which amounted TO no less than So 1862 $40, out Of
a gross receipt Of 50 SIG. Last year lending
September 80, 1861 the gross receipts amounted
to SIS 6l2 606-an increase of 5t42 $50 $4,000.
If the working expenses-whch have not yet been
ascertained-are in the same ratio as they were in
lS59-50, the net profit for the year will amount to
81 9s6,s62, which, after paying the interest the
debt, will leave $608,377 to be divided among the
holders Of the preferred stock. Of this stock
there Is in existence less than 5000, 600,
seven per cent upon which would amount
to $3.50 900. The completion Of the long dock
will probably operate very fayorably upon the
earnings Of the Erie during the current working
year and hereafter; so that it seems not
unreasonable to expect that after New Year not
only will the holders of the preferred stock get
seven per cent regularly, but there will be some
thing left to divide among the holders Of the com
mon shares. The following table shows the gross
earnings of the road for the past two years.

ARREST or CAPT. SCOTT, OF THE UNITED
STATES STEAMSHIP KEYSTONE STATE.
from the pha lel phla Inquirer Oct. 49,
Tho Steamship Keystone state arrived at this port
Friday last has been already announced, bringing,
prize the steamer Savor, captured OFF Key West while
attempting to run the blockade. As soon as the
nouncement Of the arrival az the Keystone State
autographed to Washington order issued by the
Secretary Of the Navy for the arrest OF Captain Scott Of
the Keystone STATE tho charge being that OF leaving his
station. Tho order was tcegraphed to Commander Tur
NOR at tho Navy Yard, a,urday, and the arrest
accordingly made II Is understood that government
considered that was tho duty Of Captain Scott 70 have
taken his prize into Key West and to have condemned
ana sold her At that place. and it il minated that tho
search FOR the prvatees Sumter required the continued
presence Of the Keystone state in the cruising grounds 70
Whicn She had been assigned.
I'm the other hand, II is alleged that Capt scott was
advised by Union citizens Of Key Wost and by army OH
Gers stationed there TO take the prize to port
inasnuch as the board, II sold NJ Key v est,
might through dsleya citizens lind their way into rebel
States. aud be ultimately used against the government
Actng.t is said, upon these suggestions, no came 20
action OF Captain Scott Ii understood, the government
(uness has additional reasons for prosecuting the mat
ser) will probably order his release At present how
ever he Is under arrest and the command Of the Kcy
stone State has besn assumed by the First Lieutenant
Captain g. H. Scott Is native OF Virginia. from which
state he was appointed in 1928 He received his commits
sion In 1887 rs commander, and has than
venteeR VI service. The above statement has
been obtained from parties believed to be fully informed
and there vcry little doubt but that the matter will DC
nnaly adjusted without detmcnt to the reputa lion Of
captain whose success in capturing valuable prize
titles Min to communication.
il ~ supposed that the Mcclellan which arriv-
Cd at New York before the Keystone State reached this
cyt brought the complaint Vi the United States Marshal
ae Key West to tho government Tho complaint in
substance that Captain Scott had refused to deliver tho
prize vessel the Marshal although captured within
