WELL Pur.-A correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune, writing from Iowa City, complains Of
the enormous charges demanded by the Railroad
Companies for freight from all points in Iowa
TO the East. He says they amount to almost
IN embargo on al produce designed for ship
ment to the Atlantic coast" He, therefore
urges the business men Of Chicago to use theil
influence towards reduction of rates from their
present e1orbitaucy..to something reasonable. &c
advises, themif they desire TO secure and retain
the immense and increasing buiness and trade Of
the Mississippi Valley .the.vast regions west Of
it, to do what they can to convince these present
monopolists of the carrying trade that their pres.
ent policy must eventually prove suicidal Fail.
ing in this, he advises them to inaugurate an
appeal to Congress for the enactment of a
stringent law, by which the producing classes
may be protected from the outrageous extortons
and combinations of railroad monopolists We
are unprepared to say whether the remedy pro-
posed could be made effsctusl, but We are de-
cidedly Of opinion that the present extortions of
theJmoDopolists should be ended 10 some way.

"RoANoKE."-The article in today's issue over
the signature of Roanoke" is from a highly res
pectable source. The author is responsible for the
facts. We have no personal knowledge of them
ourselves, but give them for the reason that we hold
that the individual rights of every man are as sacred
in his proper sphere, however poor or insignificant
he may be, under our free Constitution and whole
some laws as those of the richest, or as those Of
communities or States. We are 10th to believe that
there can be native born North Carolinian living
in the State, unless he be an ignoramus or a mono
maniac, who is disloyal to her or who would be
guilty of treason. But if there be SUCH the law is
open for their conviction and punishment-let them
be dealt with promptly according to law. But IN
til the military necessity exists for the declaration Of
martial law, let not the military power usurp and
parayze the civil arm in North Carolina, or in any
Southern State freed from the despotism of Lincoln
If the facts however, stated by correspondent
can be disproved, let them be controverted Our
columns are open.

North.Caroliua Medical Journal.

We regret to observe that this valuable periodical
was discontinued with the November number. One
of its Editors, DR.. Charles E. johnson, is engaged
as Surgeon General of the State and the other, DR..
S. S. Satchwell, as Surgeon to Col Clingman's reg
iment; but in addition to this and as the main
cause of its temporary dscontnuance, learn that
owing to the hardness of the times, it was not ade
auatey supported by the profession and others. We
hope to see it revived at the close of the war.
The November number contains continuation of
the reply Of Dr. o. F. Manson, of Granville, to Dr.
W. T. Towards review of his Essay on Malarial
Pneumonia" This paper, like every one of SIM
liar kind which has emanated from Dr. Manson, is
characterized by cearness and elegance of STYLE and
replete with varied learning; and we regret that
DR.. NJ. is prevented by the discontinuance of the
Journal from concluding his reply through that
medium.

% We directed our carrier week or two since.
to discontinue an exchange with paper printed in
this City, called the State Journal We are ex-
changing with every paper in the State but the one
referred to, and we not in the habit of termna-
ting such newspaper courtesies except in the last
resort; but really, it cannot be expected of us to
exchange with paper which so constantly vilhfies,
msrepresents, and abuses us, and whose columns
afford US nothing which we could CLEAN for the in
formation or edifcation of our readers. We shall,
therefore, neither read notice that paper in fu-
ture unless at the special request of friends. Its
vile abuse gives US not the least concern. We do
not covet the friendship appreciation of those who
inStigate it to Its calumnious and cowardy assaults
on us or who, while they affect not to endorse it, or
to consider 1t respectable, nevertheless so time
serving in6rm of purpose as to be willing to take
what little benefit they may realize from its columns
We may state, however, that since we gave the
order to discontinue the exchange the Office referred
to has subscribed for two copies of the Standard
thus showing that the nominal Editors are not able
to get along without the Standard We do not
desire the State Journal at any price.

Pork Z POrk!!

Pork is selling higher in this market than at any
other point we have noticed in the State 4 con-
siderable quantity has been sold since Christmas at
from II to l24 cents. Why is this? Can our poor
people bear such prices? Is it not because people
who are able, become too easily alarmed and pay
just what is asked? We believe that no class of
men deserve better prices for what they produce
than the farmers. But is it right to put such heavy
prices upon what can make or produce in the
Southern COnfederacy, because foreign articles
which we cannot produce selling at war prices
We do not blame the farmers. An article in mar
ket is worth the market price, and the farmers do
right in asking it. But is it fair or best for men
who are able to pay high prices, to put up the mar
ket beyond the reach of the poor? Let the matter
be pondered Half dozen droves of good pork
would sell we'll in this market if brought here.

~ The Western Carolinian says that Hog
Cholera prevails in that region of country, and many
of the porkers are dying. 1t recommends the boil
ing of corn in strong ley as preventive and cure.
A farmer recommends the boiling of pine-tops in
their food. We once heard an old hog-raiser say,
that the best thing for hog, sick or well, was a
plenty of sound shelled or ground corn. He said it
was both food and medicine for them. Many feed
hogs with nubbins and halfrotted corn. He said
that rotten corn and other bad food was the great
cause of disease among them. Take care of the
hogs friends.
