and got on car No. So, and when the conduc-
tor passed around to take the fare Of the pas
sengers, Mr.. Coffin presented the transfer.
The conductor declined it, which refusal
surprised the prosecutor, and he remarked
that he had just got 1t from tne con- con
ductor of the car he had left. The
conductor replied that he could not help
it; he could not take the transfer. Mr.. Coffin
replied that the conductor would have to sue
for the fare. The conductor replied that he
would not do that, but would put him of. Mr.
Coffin replied that he had better not undertake
that, and inquired how he would do 1t, by
bowie.knife, pistol, or otherwise? The con-
duetor rang the bell and stopped the car, and

Justice Clayton decided that the ticket ought
to have been stamped on the other side to indi.
cate evening. But the passenger, by the com.
pany's charter, had a right to ride to the termi-
nus Of the road, and the act of the conductor on
the main road was the act Of the company,
for which the passenger Is not to suffer, he
having right to ride to the terminus Of 7th

conductor no right to eject the passenger. The

pie has changed 10 distrust. and in some casss
jealousy and hate. The inhabitants, large por-
tion Of whom have como 10 believe that the mil
itary power which vas to protect them Is the
original and sole continuous cause Of their suf
ferings, not only furnish nothing voluntarily for
but decline to sell for currency. Even to each

which is taken from him must, as a rule, be i'm =
pressed and the reoult is that persons who are
not actual producers are suffering in various d O.
grees, and 10 many cases fearfully, for the ne
cessaries Of life.
MIR. Lyons says that the want Of food now
causes scarcely leas suffering than the want Of
clothing. The ability 10 furnish wearing appar-
oil ie nearly at an end; there Ia no wool cotton
remains, but all the machinery is employed for
the army, without being sufficient for that pur-
pose, and some Of the soldiers are wearing car
pets. lie 10 sure that but for the bayonets under
Davis control that individual would not be
safe ffom violence at the hands of the people, 80
deep is the wrath against him throughout Yir-
glnia.
A curious and suggestive statements is to the
effect that the hotels of Virginia are nearly dea,
tltute Of comfortable sleeping accommodations
The bed-coverings have been stolen and the pro-
prietors OF the hotels do not hesitate to say, as
an excuse for the deficiencies, principally by
officers Of the army. The system of robbery OF
cessity and the practice Of extortion, which has
grown to be universal among the various classes
Of society, are unblushiugly alleged in justiica-
tion Of these crimes
II is stated too, that nearly half the soldiers
in the army-say one hundred and twenty-five
thouaand-whose term OF service will expire this
Spring have not re-enlisted, and will not do so
and though they are by law conscripted they
hold the measure to be unjust, and will suffer no
chances Of escape to pass unimproyed. This state
ment is confirmed by the rebel soldiers who have
recently come % New York, all Of whom we're
volunteers, and determined to serve in the Rebel
ranks no longer
Want Of confidence and spirit of laWlessness
are represented as becoming universal in Vir-
ginla, and are bringing on train Of evils which
Mr.. Lyons asserts cannot fall IL the pressure
against the Rebels be continued, and yet their
armies be not overthrow, to produce revolu.
tion. The soldiers will rather sympathize with
than assist to put down. f1e is confident, how
ever, that formidable army organization could
not possibly be supported many months longer
in Virginia or elsewhere and that when that or
ganization is broken up, a very large proportion
Of it's present material will be found as loyal to
the Union as the multitudes who have been for
tunate enough to escape from 1t, and are hiding
in various parts Of the South, or have escaped
to our lines.

THE LONDON TIMES PRINTING OFFICE.

excepting the "Lion's den" which no one is per
mltted to enter or have Communication with un-
less by writing This is the office Of the editors
in-chief. The writer says:
At the right hand Of the square is the office Of

part Of this room, as well as one Of the same

AN EXTENSIVE PROGRAMME-wHAT THE
REBELS PROPOSE TO DO.

The Montgomery (Ala } Mail of a recent date
says;
Early in the coming spring, with our trans
Mississippi army, we must invade Missouri and
with Gen. Lees army We must invade Ohio, and
with Gen. Johnston's army move through Ken
tuoky aud Tennessee into Indiana and Illinois
without this if we remain at home, and attempt
to defend 4 thousand points from thousand at
tacks from an enemy commanding our seaboard
and navigable rivers, with ample means for
transferring their armies where they choose, and
with every part of our territory assailable TO
cavalry raids, our agriculture will be ruined and
our manufactures will be destroyed.
Let us invade them with our whole force
Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and the "copper"
heads" will swell our ranks. We want food,
raiment and gold. Let us go and take what we
need. The army will receive the order, "For-
ward 10 the north" with shout. There let
them stay until our ruthless invaders call for
peace. Better die there with arms In our hands
than to atarve here or expire in chains. The
best protection we can give those We leave behind
will be to get the helpless Of the north as hostN-
ges in our power.
If our trans-Mississippi army advances upon
st. Louis, and the Virginia army upon Pittsburg
aud Ohio and Pennsylvania, unless the whole
Federal army Ia withdrawn from the south to de-
fend Ohio and Missouri, Pittsburg Cincinnati
and Chicago will be captured by General Lee,
and Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will be overrnn by
our forces, and Missouri will be rescued. But
il the Federal army should be withdrawn, as il
certainly will be or else, if il should be great
weakened to defend st. Louis and Pittaburg
General Johnston can without difficulty advance
ITO the Ohio and liberaie Tennessee and Kentucky
1t ia perfectly clear that the invasion of the norll
will effect these prime objects.
/. II will free the whole south from the pre-
sence Of the Federal army. The militia garri
sons and our troops not in condition to march
can protect our homes against the small fore
they may have to harass us.
/. 1t will supply us with oil the horses. equip
ments, clothing and articles Of every kind needle
BY our soldiers.
8. The retaliatory infection of the horrors {
war will make the north desire peace, and max
foreign nations see that we have the power
annoy our enemy and dispose them to recOgni'
us.

ing it,
8. 1t will end the war in our favor in oil

A "YAaKER TRIoK."-The Rebels will have
fresh cause to dislike the "vulgar Yankees. -
Gen. Smith played one Of the cruelist tricks on
them the other day that has been played since
the war begun. The Rebs had been at work for
the year past or more in the erection Of Fort De
Russy. BY this formidable work they expected
to command eAeciually the Red River. They
Dragged over ii as one Of their "0ibraltars." II
was garrisoned by force of II 900 troops under
General Dick Taylor. This doughty chiefiain
learning of the approach Of our little army,
FASTENED forth to meet and oVerwhelm 1t. At
tacking It in the rear. he confidently expected
to make short work Of ii. But the Federal COM
mandor, actualed by that detestable cunning
which is chief attribute Of the Yankee, instead
OF turning round and fighting, started at full
speed for the Fort, reached it two hours before
the Rebels and coolly took possession of it, leav
ing Taylor and his determinations shiyerinl
tout in the cold" As consequence of thil
act Of bad breeding, our feet was enabled to pas
without interruption into the very heart of thl
Red River country. No wonder the Rrbels voV
they won't live with us.
