FROAI BEAUFORT.

BEAUFoRT August 25.
Governor Holden, of North Carolina,
having requested Gen. Ruger, commanding
at Raleigh, to remand three citizsns ar
rested by the latter for asssulting freed
man, to the county in which the offence
was committed to be tried by civil tribu-
nal, and calling his attention TO the fact
that civil law had been organized in that
county, Gen. Ruger replies that it appear
ed TO him inexpedient to comply with the
request, for the reason, among etherF, that
it is the duty Of the military authorities to
preserve order; that though the magis'
trates have been appointed, they do not
take official notice of the acts of violence
toward freedmen, although such ats have
by no means become unfrequeRt in dItfor'
ent sections of the State. he also says
that of late several cases Of homicide OF
freedmen by the whites have been brought
10 his notice, but in no case had an attempt
been made by the magistrates or civil OH
GERS for their investigation, and from OBJ
servstion and information these acts are
becoming more frequent, and he therefore
thinks the prompt trial and punishment by
3 military commission will be the best
remedy for the evil.

The TitusviIIe RaiIrOad Accident.

hC NAtunNlALC lNhAAEOau ACCAuCNEs
We print in another column the details
in regard to the frightful railroad accident
on the Oil Creek Railroad on Thursday
last, by which six persons were suddenly
slaughtered. The facts in the case throw q
terrible responsibility upon the manage
ment of that road, demonstrating its inef.
lcisncy in two different particulars, one
of which caused, and the other added to
the horror Of, the collision. These were /:
1. In failing 10 provide sufficient side
tracks for freight cars and trains. The col
Iision was caused by the attempt of q
freight train to make the only side-track
not crowded with cars. True, the attempt
itself wss 8 most culpable piece of reckless
ness, but had there been proper amount
of side-tracks it never would have been
made.
2. In failing to provide sufficient cars to
accommodate the passengers on board the
Express train. EvsTy passenger killed 'OaS
standing on the pEatform-forced to stand
there by the fact that the cars was crowd
ed inside. Nor is this an exceptional case
Every traveller on the Oil Greek Railroad
knows that almost every passenger train
on the road is over-crowded, within and
and without, and that sufficient accommo'
dation for the number of passengers is mo-
provided in one car in hundred,
Thus the culpAble mismansgement o.
this road is responsible, not only for csus
ing the accident, but for increasing its hor
Tor ten-fold. 1t hss called out sgains
itself storm of indignation which it vii
scarcely be able to Allsy even blythe best o
behavior in the future.

ExPLANATION.

WAsHIEGToE, August 2S.
The reason assigned, by those who ought
TO know, for the withdrawal of the names
of Robert Lee and several others, from the
charges of conspiracy with WIz, is that
these persons are actually or constructively
in the custody of the United States, but
not on trial. It was seen from the time
Mr.. Baker entered IS counsel for Wirz that
he would not long enjoy smicsble relations
with the Commission, and on repeated Oc-
casions sharp words passed between them.
To-day he, together with his associate,
Sehsde, withdrew. This is the second time
within 8 week WirZs counsel has deserted
him. WiTz is very much hurt at this, and
he very imploringly said to Mr.. Baker, 'tyou
might stay to help me, and you should not
be angry if the Court does sometimes over
rule you. In the absence of other counsel
it now devolves on Judge Advocate Chip
man to see thst he has fair play.
