TI,E RAILROAD COSY ENTiON.
The National Railroad Convention assembled at
O'Clock lhs afternoon 10 receive the report OF the
Committee appointed yerterdav 10 prepare rates ior
Government transportation. The result may be
briefly stated as follows:
On all roads or distances over 20 miles adopting
the classification of the four Atlantic trunk lines II
WAS agreed that deduction OF 10 rsr cent should be
made from their regular tariff rates on all supplies
or material Transported for Governmen! account, with
tie rrovlso that IN case shall these rates exceed
for hret-cass freight cents per tun per mile; for
Second-cass freight q cents per mile per tun: for
tbrd-class freight Il cents per tun per mile; for
iourth-class freight Il cents per tun.
After full discussion, the report WAS unanimously
adopted. The entire proceedings were conducted
with the greatest harmony of feeling, and the public
will readily percoive, when the extreme pressure of
private business upon the roads incident to the large
export Of domestic produce is considered that the
companies have met the views of the Government in
u spirit Of great liberality.

MARSHAL OF TIE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC

Washington, has been appointed Marshal of the

THE MEDALS FOR THE SOLDIERS.
The Senate bill recently introduced proposing to
confer medals for mertoros private soldiers, excites
much comment in military circles. The objection to
it, however is that it omits to similarly reward The
officers, the general argument being that there should
be no distinction among all who deserve such an
acknowledgment Of gallant conduct
SECRETARY STATIONS ORDER TO GENERAL
Cor.,pondenoe Of The n Y Tribune.
WAsHlsGroS Thursday. Feb %. 1882 p
The point Of this order WAS go paltabIe that 1t is
still the subject of conversation in Washington.
Our recent successes in Kentucky, Missouri, and at
Roanoke, make people good-natured, aud soften the
criticisms on the army of the Potomac. In truth'
this army, in the light Of the yigor elsewhere dir
PLAYED is coming to be regarded az gigantic Joke;
and should our brave soldiers OF the Western army
continue their successful career, the remembrance OF
the 5000 OO0 900 spent in organizing and maintaining
IT, and the oceans of ink shed in describing ts grand
reviews and parades, may be discussed with the
Broboignsgan laughter of a whole continent II Is
much remarked upon here that large proportion OF
the army under Grant which has performed such
gaant service IA also several of the regiments in the
burnside Expedition, have been drilled but short
time II is often mentioned that disaster at Bull
Ran was not the result of want Of drilling, but the
want OF either capacity or loyalty of some OF our
officers.
