On the high rates of freight charged by several
railroads in Illinois, the Chicago Tribune Of tho
25th inst. has the following cutting, but truthful
article:
The subject of railroad freights formed the prn-
cipal topic Of discussion to-day in financial and
commercial circles. Both the produce and mer-
camille trade of the city suffering immensely in
consequence Of the exorbitant high rates charged
by the railroad corporations. 1t costs 33c bring
a bushel of wheat from Marshalltown, Iowa, to
Ch;csgo, and zoe per bushel to bring it from the
Mississippi flyer hither. Is it to be wondered IT
that the trade, under sush circumstances, goes
down the river, where emily Eve or six cent? rsr
bushei is charged for carrying produce double and
treble the distanee7 1t would be wonderful in
deed, If it did not go to St. Louis or some Other
market on the Mississippi. But we are not only
losing the trade Of Iowa and Minnesota by these
high rates Of freight. As far up a. Peoria, on the
Illinois river, the produce lie seeking . market
southwark, and the bankers along that river have
to send Chicago bankers currency to keep up their
balances rs they not sending any produce.
But tbs evil does not exist merely with regard
to the railroads ieadiLg westward The roads
leading to the East are not only charging exo.tI
tant high rstes of freight, but they are virtually
discriminating against Chicago. The following
table shows the rates for fourth class goods from
various cities in the West to the East.

FIRE AT EpDYvILLE.-Mr. John Given,
General Ticket Agent of the Des MONIES
Valley road, furnishes us the particulars, SO
far as known, of the burning of the depot of
the company at Eddyville upon Sunday morn
ing About clock A. NJ. it was found that
the warehouse of Otis, Newell & Co., COM
mission merchants, which adjoins the depot,
was In flames The FIRE was soon communica-
ted to the depot and to the warehouse of Fish
A. Weightman, aud all three buildings were
destroyed. We were not advised of the ex-
tent of the losses of Messrs. Otis, Newell l.
Co. aud Fish & Weightman. 1t is doubtless
very heavy. -Four freight cars were destroyed
which could have been saved, had not some
evil disposed person displaced the switch, and
thus rus upon the wrong track, the engine
which started TO remove them. The books,
records and most valuable papers were in the
safe and so were saved. The loss to the com
sauy will not be very extensive. Mr.. Giver
informs US that the company, with character.
istc energy, is taking immediate steps to erec
q new depot in the place of the one thus de-
streyed. The origin of the FIRE is q mystery.
IS there had been none In the part Of the
building where it commenced. ineendiarisn

The rates given above from Cincinnati are nomi-
nal. Engagements can be made there at much
lower rates, through the system of cutting
which prevails in that city. fhe 9sIes frcm st.
Louis are also nominal for the same reason. Chi
cage seems to be the only city in the West where
the railroads can combine to rob the merchants
and farmers.
Now the roads from the above points nil connect
with the same Eastern roads, which charge the
sane rrte on their roads ON freight from one

brother and sister had met. Afew days since
Mr.. Carnahan was advised that his sister was
awaiting him at the hotel in Oskaloosa.
Eagerly hied Carnahan to the city and the
presence of his sister. True she was wonder
fully changed and he was wonderfully changed,
and they would never, never have known each
other, and never would hare thought that a
| few years would have made such differences,
but the meeting was rapturous and cordial as
became brother and sister solong parted. They
started home together. Carnahap was sur

about persons and places of which he was

mingly, when he met his neighbor Kernahan
| going to town. "Hello Kernahan, where
are you goingY' He was going for his sister
who, he learned, had just reached Oskaloosa.
With the force of Paixhan shot It occurred
Canadian that he had confscated the wrong
