As EMPRESS PRoEcr The Eryrc@ Ness-
engcr, New York journal in the interest
Of the express companies, in view Of the
enormous prices which the people Of the
large cities arc obliged to pay for provisions
in consequence Of the intervention Of so many
muiijcmen before they reach the consumers,
proposes that farmers shall make dcpots
along the principal railroads Of their butter,
eggs. poultry, &C., which are then to be
taken to the cities by the express agents
and there left at general depot where the
consumers can purchase them without the
intervention Of any further middlcmen.-
The project might work but for the cnor.
nous charges which the farmers would find
put on by the express companies. The city
middlcmen, by receiving their provisions as
freight, would uuderscll the express agents
by the SIDE Of their dcpots, if they charged
their usual rates for transportation 4
p11uri of butter, taken from Illinois to New
York city, at the usual rate nf "vrross
charges, should bring these about 81, at
least We have usually paid at about that rate
on packages brought by express.

a War with Denmark,

The all cngrossing topic of the European
war is in a fair way to be intensified by a
side brush between the United States and
Denmark. A hot war of words has been
raging for several months between our gov
ernmcnt and that of Denmark in reference to
what are called the Sound dues"-ccrtain
dues collected 10y Denmark Of all vcssels
passing through the straits that lead iiUm
the North Sea into the Baltic, and as there
seems no chance at present to end the dis
putc 10y negotiation, Uncle sam may be
obliged to resort to the u,tima ratio ytgun,-
the last argument Of Kings.--blooly war
The Washington papers Of Saturday publish
the "prccise taxi. of what is said to be the
final determination Of Denmark in the matter,
and that is 10 insist on collecting the dues,
and to open her guns On any vessel that re-
fuses topay them.
We copy the following statement Of the
case and history Of the negotiations on this
subject from an exchange:
The sound is a narrow strait between
the Island Of Iceland belonging to the Danes,
and the Swedish coast, and gives entrance to
the Baltic Sea. The fortress Of Crouburg
castle commands the passage, and cXacts II
payment from all vessels entering the Bal
tic; the ships Of Denmark have to pay rs
well as foreign tonnage. The origin Of this
| cXaction is, that in ancient times Denmark
undertook to build and sustain certain light
