The New York Times abolition recently announced
that Capt. Duffy, of the gallant Sixty.ninth, has been
nominated by the loyal men Of the Fifth Congressional
District as their candidate, in opposition to the submis
sion candidate, ex .Mayor, ex- merchant Fernando Wood.
Capt Duffy Is well known as a tried man. an upright
citizen, a loyal countryman, and a gallant soldier

FreIghts from the West.

Our Western exchanges represent the a.
mount Of freights accumulating at the chief
points of shipments in the West, as entirely
beyond the capacity Of the various lines to
remove. At Toledo, few days since, every
warehouse was full to OVERLOOKING, and 400
cars were waiting to be unloaded. The O.
equipments appears to be entirely inadequate
TO the removal of the freights as fast as it is
received, especially as the cars arc compelled
to stand upon the tracks for days together
for the want of other cars from connecting
lines to receive the goods. There appears to
be lack of warehouse room for storing the
freight as it accumulates, and the cars are d.
verted to this duty. 1t would seem that more
extensive depots for freight storage would
relieve the house cars, and thus increase i'm
mensely the carrying capacity Of the various
roads. A large amount Of the freight offered
is 1.-Two stock, and pcrishable goods, which
must be pushed through so other classes Of
freight stand poor chance to be forwarded,
1t is not likely that the pressure upon these
roads will be relieved until the opening again
of lake and canal navigation.
