LOCAL AFFAIRS.
Ifonicide-A Coiorcd Man Shot by q
White Man.

Yesterday morning about half past o'clock, q
colored man named Joseph Smith, employed by
Mr.. Hatton, q dairyman, on I street, between
18th and l3th, was killed near the naval maya
line, by man named John Benedict Burgess, .
boiler. maker employed 10 the navy-yard, and
residing on X street, near the Old Bridge. II sp.
pears that Burgess was in q skiG going mp To
river, whom he padded ashore near the maya.
zine, where the colored man Smith, with gun,
was looking for birds on the marsh difficulty
took Mace between Burgess and Smith, Burgess
accusing Smith Of calling him liar, and Smith
DENYING a. A scuiie ensued between them, du-
ring which Burgess got the gun and Smith The
paddle. Burgess attempted to aim at Smith, bui
he kept knocking the gun aside with the paddle
Smith was trying TO get away from Burge g
and went some dtstance out In the river. Bur.
eess following him. While they were In the
water waist deep Burgess got aim at Smith and
fired, the load taking effect In the bowels. Bur.
CESS dragged Smith out OF the water, aud then
Tot his boat and went of. DR.. McKim heard Of
the affair, and notified Roundsman Harrison
who procured q conveyance and took Smith to
the almshouse, where he died about one o'clock
yesterday afternoon Before dying he made 8
statement as TO the affair, from which the above
facts are taken. ....
Last night Sergeant Milstsad, Of the Eighth
precinct, stationed his men, dressed In citizens
clothes, about the house Of Burgess, and he was
arrested about nine o'clook by Ofhcers Arnold
and Teeple and taken to the Eighth precinct sta
tion-h This morning he had a hearing be-
fore Justice Handy, when Mr.. Edward Cross,
employed ut the Congressional Cemetery, testi.
fed that he saw Smith cunning abont the river
shore. Saw Burgess come ashore In his boat and
q quarrel took place between them during which
Burgess said something about q lie, and Smith
denied Il. Saw them striking at each other and
In the scufiie Burgess got the gun and Smith the
paddle. Heard the gun fred and saw Smith fall
In the water Burgess dragged him out, got in
the boat and went OF. ..r.
Burgess stated before Justice Handy that tho
gun was cooked and Smith was striking at hin
with the paddle, when he struck the lock Of the
gun, breaking OF the hammer, and causing the
gun TO explode, the load taking effect In hi,
stomach. !. @ ...t..
The gun is at the station house, with one Of the
locks broken of. IL appears that Burgess nc.
cused Smith Of killing his dog, and Smith denied
It, which was the cause OF the difficulty. JUS
tice Handy committed Burgess to Jail for court.

Tho Rebel BaTbarity at Charlesten.

The Rebel BarbArtfy At OhaFlesten-
Another signal levidsnce Of the fierce bar
bArisn which rules in the South is found in
the fact that the rebels on their evacuation
Of Charleston sndeavored 70 burn the city
TO ashss, leaving thousands Of helpless WO-
men and children and old men TO the hor-
rorG and suferings of desolsted homes and
starvation. The scene in the streets was
truly appalling men, women and children
we're rushing fsnticslly to and fro in an
agony Of despair st the loss Of their friends
and homes. The richer nRbobs had fed
when the city was occupied by our forces.
They cared not what became Of the poor
and helpless.
It is q signal illustration Of the civilzs-
tion of the North that, notwithstanding the
p.rt played by Charleston in the rebellion,
our soldiers, as fast 81 they entered the city,
endesvored to save # from the flames. As
It is, probably two4hirds Of the city has
been destroyed. What fearful rstribu-
ton is this upon the city which four yeArS
since so proudly inaugurated the rebellion.
But such are the viRdications Of Provi-
dence. 5s 1

Letter from General sherman.

AGeeCN OGhoNnA
rhe following extract from private let
ter by General S6srmsa to q friendin New
York exhibits grsndly the nobility, mag
nsnimity snd modesty of good mind:
Colonel Ewing arrived to-day, and bore
me many kind tokens from the North, but
none gave me mora satisfaction than to
know that you watched with interest my
eforts in the national cause. L do not
think human being could feel more kind
ly toward an enemy than do toward the
people of the South, and daily pray that
/ may live to see the day when they and
their children viii thank me, as one who
lsb0red to secure and msintsin governs
ment worthy the land we have inherited
and strong enough to secure our children
the peace and secnrity deniedus. Judging
from the press the world msgnifes my
deeds above their true value, and 1 fearths
future may not realize its Judgment. But
whatever may befan me, know that you
will be a generous and charitable critic,
and will encourage one who only hopes in
this struggle to do mans share.
With great respect, your friend and ad-
mirer, W. T. SHERMAN,
.- Major General.

that the exchange is going on satilArto-
