known the "bulls," hitting them their biggest
ticks to keep them up, and another crowd known as
the beals" hitting their bigges ticks TO knock them
dow and keep them so. 1t is mere gambling game
Neither of these crowds of operators are bon" tide
holders of these fancy stocks which they pretend to
buy and sell.
Walkers respects in Nicaragua have got 10 be
sort OF fancy stock with the newsmongers and the
tales are contradictory and so evidently gotten up
for effect, that really one is led TO queson~very much
whether there is word of truth in any of them. or
whether in fact Walker himself be not myrf e,
boyle to Tighten the copperheads of the 18TH
mus withal.
Last week the steamer brought news of the des-
tperate situation of Walker and his ca Sc Without
reinforcements, his course was run. Scarcely had
this news been fairly circulated. before the Texas
comes in with glowing accounts of Walkers carrying
everything before him. Both accounts could not have
been correct Which is TO be believed? Who
knows? Is either! Candidy, think it very
doubtful.
| We are compelled to the conclusion that if Walker
did not succeed a, the first burst or, having succeed
ed, failed to maintain himself, there is BOW little
chance after the enthusiasm of his volunteer forces
| from their first confusion. The thing may 60 on
for months. Some miracle may give Walker final
and permanent success, but little short of miracle
can do
OF the Rates of Transportation Of PRssen-
gers the WI nnIngtOn d Weldon Rail Road.
| We are informed that the Board of Directors, on
the Goth ult, ordered the rates of fare to be slightly
increased-viz: 10 three and half cents per maite,-
this being the i0srest rate charged, as inform
ed by any Southern Rail Read their local travel.
| If this be 80, we can see no reasonable cause of
complaint against this company; certainly when
cry supply that Rail Road Company requires has
increased Is per cent during the last two three
years, aid when all experience has shown 81 cents
per mile to be the lowest remunerative rate. We
can reasonable cause Of complaint on the part
of the community.
That the fare on this Road has been extremely low
no one can doubt and if the Company finds its Road
way and Machinery we airing in such ratio, Ca ma
tural one, that the rates heretofore paid will not
new it and pay reasonable profit on the stock, why
should there be complaints Surely, those who
complain, would not invest their capital to the
public, without fair and certain remuneration.
We are in possession of the charged on several
Southern Rail Roads, and We append list by which
it will be that the fare on this Road is as low
as any one in the South and lower than several in
this State, Virginia, and Georgia:

There is no Rail Road that we can find South,
whose local fare is less than 81 cents per mile and
they generally exceed that figure.
