Last night the last of the troops being
moved West crossed the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. From the first OF this
month up to last evening, eighty thou
sand men, with their baggage, and thirty
thousand horses have been transported
over the Baltimore and Ohio read from
Washington City to Parkersbnrg Out
of this vast number of men not one was
killed or injured in the least. s. q,
As may be supposed the shipping ca
pacities of this vast thoroughfare nave
been considerably taxed during this
time. and all the officials of the road
have been busily employed ut their diff
ferent posts Since the shipment OF
troops began, one hundred and thirty
first class engines have passed Cumber-
land, coming West Besides the great
transportation West, many thousands OF
troops have been sent East over the Dad.
and the regular passenger aud freight
trains have been run.

The conduct of the troops along the
route was remarkably good, and not the
least disturbance occurred with any of
the men except the 2lst New York caval-
Nv, the members Of which plundered the
stores in every town along the route
where their train stopped sufficient
length of time To afford them an oppor-
tunity for lawlessneSs General Emory
was appraised of their conduct by tele-
graph, and when the DIST reached Cum
berland, the men found their train COM
pletely surrounded with armed guards.
The vandals were disarmed, and tax,
sufficient to pay all damages, was levied
upon the officers OF the regiment.
RIvER-The river was rising slowly
last evening with six feet water in the
channel The arrivals and departures
OH Saturday were confiied to the regular
packets.
The Cincinnati Commercial of Saturday
says:
The submarine Underwater returned,
Yesterday, from the wreck of the Express,
recently sunk in Manchester chute, to
await fall of water in the river, the late
rise having interfered with the opera
lions of raising the sunken boat. The
Underwater reports the Express with
her boilers under water, oil the larboard
side. The breach in her bottom, as as
certained by the submarine operator,
was directly under her boilers, fore and
aft, and is fifty feet long by an average
If four feet wide She is not otherwise
materially damaged, and will he, Ill
timately, saved. There is thirty-hve
timbers broken in her hold The subma-
rne pumps raised her bow one foot out
of water, but did not succeed in getting
her entirely ahoat. A bulkhead will be
built, when she will doubtless be raised.
Mr.; j. w. Lazier, late of the Office of the
Naugatuck, goes to Wheeling to take
charge of the office OF Captain John
MLures new steamer, the New State. "
HIGH PRICE OF LEMONS Those who
are compelled to purchase lemons are
sometimes surprised at being required to
pay ten cents apiece, and none can be
had at less than eight cents, These lem
ons are sold by the importers in New
York at eight OF nine dollars per box at
auction. A box contains from three to
four hundred lemons. The importers get
scarcely two cents apiece for the lemons
they bring into the country, yet the con
sumner is compelled to pay from eight to-
ten cents for each lemon. The middle
men realize large profits on this fruit,
enough we think to satisfy the most
greedy
