RAILROAD TRANsPoRTATIoN..--.The
principal railroads in the Confederaoy are
now sedulously engaged in endeavoring to
increase their stocks, and to provide for the
contingencies Of future service or loss
Under the delusive expectation of an early
termination of the war, the railroad com.
panies have, heretofore, relied almost Who'll.
|ly on their existing stock, and made. but
few efforts at supply or reparation, scarcely
outstanding their resources, which, under
the exhausting demands made upon them,
have become greatly diminished. OF late,
with more experience, wiser prescience
seems.to guide their management. In diff
ferent parts of the Confederacy iron is now
being provided and rolled for machinery,
and the construction and repair Of looomo-
tives and rolling stock. The Secretary of
War has recommended that skilled mechan.
les be furnished from the army for some of
the more delicate machinery needed by the
railroads. The railroad transportation is Of
incalculable importance to the Confederaoy.
Shut off from the sea, and with command
of very few of its rivers, the Confederacy
is dependant, almost wholly, on the rail
roads for communication and transportation.

ansiner, says:
Itis understood that measures have re.
Gently, and very positively, been recommen.
ded to Congress to take the private cotton in
the Confederacy. The particular necessity
of this measure issaid to be that the Govern
ment cannot carry on its European trade
(Which, ip sfaet, has grown to be so large
and important that the organization Of a
separate bureau, attached to othe War De-
partment, has been recommended to con-
duct it, at the present luminous rates of
freight and exchange in Confederate money.
So. excessive have become the rates Of
freight and exchange that, on calculation,
it was found that the mere charge, indepen.
dent of the cost of the cargo, for the freight
age of steamer of three hundred tons, from
the West India islands to one Of. our ports,
were to the Government upwards of two
millions of dollars in its currency. Under
these. circumstances, the Department has
not hesitated to inaugurate the plain
policy of eyadingthe blockade with steam.

With the additional steamers, which the
contracts with the Government, or the temp.
tations of private gains has brought into the
trade, it is believed that the blockade may
be evaded, so far as 60 add greatly to our
resources abroad, from the expectation Of
cotton, and to bring in the supplies needed
by the Government.

Mr.. SwINToN, correspondent of tie New
York Times writes as follows about rebel facil-
tiles for repairing railroads:
With reference to the question of the repair
Of the rebel roads, have recently learned a
fact, the truth of which is undoubted, and
which accounts for the facility and rapidity
with which the enemy has lately been able to
make good all the damage we have done on
their railroad communications. Gen. Lee has,
in conjunction with several English railroad
engineers, organized corps OF railroad con
struction, which has this matter in hand.
Large supplies of new railroad iron have been
received from abroad and placed at convenient
points, and duplicates of all important bridges
are also on hand. With this agency and thtse
means, the damage which can be done is rem
dered merely temporary; and it is quite GER
tain that the rebels were able in marvellous
short space to put in perfect running order
both the Virginia Central and the Lynchburg
roads. 1t can hardly be claimed therefore.
that the enemys communications are to day in
any respect seriously embarrassed.

A Yankee Sergeant Eager for a
Swap.

The correspondent of the New York Times
relates the following incident which occurred
before Petersburg:
An incident which may be charactized as
very important occurred Yesterday morning.
in front OF Gen. Tuckner's lines. A sergeant
stepped out from our rife-pits and moved to-
ward the enemy, waving a late paper regard
less of the probability that he would at any
moment be shot. A rebel officer shouted to
him to 20 back, but the sergeant was unmind-
full of the warning and asked, Wont YOU ex
g L have no paper and want you to go back"
with singular persistence the sergeant contln-
ued to advance, saying, "Well, if you hain't a
paper, reckon some ofyour men have, and l
want to exchange | tell you" MY men
have not got anything of the kind, and you
must go back, said the officer in a louder tone
and with great emphasis. Nothing daunted
the Yankee sergeant still advanced until he
stood plumply befoie the indignant officer and
said II Tell We now you needn't get your
dander up. don't mean no harm no
way. P'raps if ye amt got. nd news.
paper We might give me suthin else.
Maybe you men would like some coffee
trade" The astonished officer could only re-
peat his command: $50 back, you rascal or
I'll take you prisoner. tell you we have
nothing 10 exchange, and we don't want any,
thing to do with you Yankees" The Sergeant
said ruefully: Well, then, if you haint got
nothin, why, here's the paper anyway. and
if you get one from Richmond this after
noon, you can send it over. You'll find nv
name thar on that" The mans impu-
dence or the officers eagerness for news
made him accept. He took the paper, and
asked the Sergeant what was the news from
Petersburg. "Oh! our folks say we can 90
in there just when we want to, but we are
waiting to gobble all you fellows first" was
the reply well, don't know but what you
can do it," said the Lieutenant, turning on
his heel and re-entering the rife-pits; ''mean-
while, my man, you had better go back" This
time the sergeant oDeyed the oft-repeated Or
hero of the morning among his comrades.

A Joke on the Platform.

Senator McDoUGAL of California, last We'd
nesday introduced in to the Senate the identi-
cal resolution adopted at the Baltimore Con-
vention, reaffirming the Monroe doctrine A
fairer hit was never made. The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, under the rule of Mr..
SEWARD, will not permit their own party reso-
luton, when thus introduced, to come up for
consideration. It is transparent that the Mon
roe doctrine plank in the Baltimore platform,
is merely for buncombe, for Republican
Congress dare not stand by it. Whether Nc
DouGAL was drunk, as usual, or sober, he per-
petrated one of the best jokes of the season.
JACK HALE, with all his buffoonery, never did
half as well.

The Adjutant General received Tuesday the
following dispatch:
GJ lBY TELEGRAPH.
LA Crosse June ~.
Col. Oscar Malnsros:
The Fifth Minnesota Volunteers arrived at
La Crosse this evening.
(SigneO L. +. HUBBARD,
Colonel Commanding.
We are informed that the Regiment will ar
rive at some hour during this day (Wednes-
day.. Their arrival at the levee will be on
nounced by the firing of cannon. They will
Immediately march to the German Atheneum
in Upper Town, where an entertainment will
be provided by the Ladies' Sanitary Commits
sion. All our citizens, including the German
Sanitary Commission, are requested to partlcl-
pate in the reception and entertainment. Con-
tributions of provisions will be received up to
twelve o'clock M.
The Fifth Regiment has made an excellent
record for itself during its term of service in
the Valley of the Mississippi. 1t has partici-
pated in several engagements and has been
honoraoly mentioned in the official reports.
Few regiments in the service have performed
more toisome marches and real hard service
than this, and the fact that it has re-enlisted
for three years more, shows that it is composed
of the truest and best soldiers-mp who are
determined to see the end of the Rebellion,
before they throw down their arms.
We bespeak for them here in st. Paul, and
everywhere else in the State, cordial recep-
tons. We should endeavor to make them
feel that their patriotism is fully appreciated at
services, nor of the hardshlps through which
they have passed, nor of their imminent perils
in battle
If it should happen, on account of the low
river, that the regiment does not arrive to-day,
the programme of reception will be the same,
when they do come.

of the National Dem.
Ocrattc Convention.

The Chicago Post of the oath says: 1" The
Democratic National Executive Committee,
acting upon the sensible advice given by the
Post, have postponed the Democratic National
Convention until the 29th of August. This
action is eminently wise. 1t is death blow to
the peace men. 1t completely extinguishes
VALLAND1GHAM and the WOODS. 1t is tri-
umph of conservatism. 1t means the nomina-
ton of a man devoted to the prosecution of
the war. It means that the Democratic party
intends to plant itself fairly and squarely upon
war platform, with war candidates" From
the displeasure exhibited by the Chicago Times
and other peace journals, at the action of the
Committee, we are inclined to believe the in
depreciation put upon the postponement by
the Post, to be we'll founded.
