UIR BY RAILROAD.

In no other country and during no other war did
railroad management enter so largely into the prose
cution of campaigns as in the United States during
the Rebellion From the 2lst of April, lS6l, the day
on which the military authorities took possession Of
the railroads leading directly into Washington, until
August, 1865 when By Executive order all military
roads were transferred 10 their original owners, the
War Department held and used for military purposes
all the lines Of roads in the conquered territory. In
making preparations for the great campaigns OF the
Spring of 1862 President Lincoln ordered that ID. C.
McCallum be appointed Military Director and Super
intendent of Railroads in the United States, with
authority to enter upon take possession Of hold and
USE all railroads engines cars, locomotives equip
ments sppendages and appurtenances, that may be
required for the transport OF troops, munitions OF war
and supplies of the United States" Clothed with
this extraordinary power, Mr.. McCallum entered
upon the duties indicated in the order. His first
labors were in connection with Gen. McClellans
movements in front of Washington, in March, 1862
For considerable time, they were confined to short
lines leading into Virginia from Washington; engines
and cara were sent to the peninsula with the Army OF
the Potomac and to North Carolina for Gen. Burn.
sides command, and were placed roads repaired for
the use OF the armies in prosecuting contemplated cam
paigns which were brought to grief by the failure OF
Mcclellan in front of Richmond. This was but
learning the alphabet Of the great lessons OF railroad
ing yet 70 be mastered in the progress OF the war
The building and rebuilding Of the lines on the great
rsce.course of armies, between Washington and
Richmond, has become part OF the history OF the semi
annual marches, battles, and counter marches, so
fruitful TO both parties only in failure and death.
How large bodies OF troops were transferred secretly
and with incredible speed from the banks Of the Rap
pahannOck to the banks of the Tennessee, and from
Knoxville to the batte-feds Of the Wilderness, are
feats in military transportation before then pne-
Qualed; but the great achievement OF railroad en-
cheering was the successful forwarding OF supplies to
Gen. Shermsns army, in its march to Atlanta.
In the beginning of the war, military railroads were
an experiment; and although Mr.. MeCallnm had been
schooed in the offices Of the great railroads in this
country before and during the war, and had learned
much by the experience Of 1862 and 1858, yetso
limited were all these operations in comparison with
the ,tupendous work of supplying an army OF 100000
men and 90, 900 animals with munitions OF war,
rations and forage, from base 300 miles distant,
accessible only line Of singe-track railroad,
lying almost wholly within hostile country, In

Mr.. Charles G. Cornell has long held the highly
re,ponsble and lucrative Office Of Street Commits
sioner. Last Fall, he was elected State Senator
Some weeks ago. the Citizens Association submitted
70 the Governor long series Of specific charges oil cor
rupton and mslyerSation in Office by Cornell, alleged
to have been committed in the discharge OF his ooisi
duties The Governor a. once notified MI. e.. and
gave him thirty days wherein to file hi' answer
When those days were drawing to close, We undsr-
stand that application was made for an extension OF
the time. which Gov. +. felt constrained to refuse
and named ex-Judge James K. Whiting as referee
to take testimony in the case. The ccmPlsinantS
were ready with their counsel and witnesses; the
scrutiny waited only for the defendant when 10 on
Saturday, Mr. Cornell resigns h' o6ce Of Street Com
missioner in singulsry lludged letter, denouncing
Judge Whiting as prejudced, and unit to act a.
referee and Gov. Fenton for appointing him. SO
Mr. Cornell evades the scrutiny meditated-or since
Mr. C. il out of Office he is no longer subject to the
Governors power, and the referee, we spprehead
cannot 20 on with the case.
We cherish lively hope that this is not the end OF
the matter. The charges preferred against Mr. Cor
nell are such a. if sustained should consgn him to
feon's cell as gigantic and most impudent swindler
and robber. We shall not Judge him in advance Of
trial, but we insist that he must now court trial
He says that Judge Whiting is his enemy he cannot
truly say that the law is his enemy Let him, then,
dare the Citizens Association to bring their charges
10 the notice of our next Grand jury and let him in
duce his friend, A. Oakley Hall, to consent before
hand that the Citizens Association may prosecute the
case through every stage without interference on his
mart. If Mr. Cornell is not thief be is greatly be
lied and misiudged and the verdict of jury will
ne good for him.

THE COTTON TAX.

The present Congress saw fit to levy tax OF three
cents per pound on all Cotton produced in the United
staes payable upon its removal from tho collection
Cor Congress) district wherein it ia grown.
The cotton. growers-who have always hitherto
stoutly insisted that tax on any article was paid by
the consumer-now turn sharp corner and insist that
this tax falls wholly on tho producer They arc mis-
taken in this as they were in the opposite sssump'
on Par. Of tho tax falls the producer the residue
on the consumer.
Il ia of course disagreesble to be taxed. Most
people prefer that their neghbors shall pay the bulk
of tho taKes The South-which pays moderately on
Incomes. and under most sections Of tho TI'hll-
thinks she pays heavily under this; though 1t IA con
tended that cotton Manufactured IN the district whore
grown is not 10 pay at all
Mr.. Reyeriy johnson has pronounced This tax IN
onstitutiona-perhaps without any fec. M NAL
COIN Campbell Of our city Bar. has written pamph'
Ia, in support Of this view Quoting tho constitution
al Inhibition
no tan or duty shall b, I articles exported from aay
State"
Mr.. Campbell thus interpretS IT:
twill thnk b. apparent upon rcfecton TIA, the n'ent
Constitution that each state should eI!oy tnS
the purpose OF abroad without being slect>i 70 any et
actions kind laid At any time by the flera
on The articles % exported ani this latent expressed An 4
ths right guaranteed terms which csnno be miSuhi'f'ooi
miscons.rued."
This is very sweeping-it precludes all taxation
whatever on any article that may be exported. IL
seems to US alike suicidal and repugnant TO common
sense. What the Constitution evidently means TO
preclude ia any tax applying solely to exported a'ti'
cles while like products not exported should be OK
empt from such tax. In other words. the trainers
Of the Constitution meant TO preclude the lettering OF
commerce by duties Terminating asan', articles
exported.
Suppose Congress had imposed tax Of one dollar
per acre on all lands in cultivation, would that tax
have been unconstitutional far as it affected lands
whereof the product sold abroad though consti'
tutional as to all others' Obviously not. And, If
not, then we submit that the bottom IS out Of Mr..
Campbells argument.

POLICE REPORT. MAYOR S OFFICE. Three
gentlemen we're found last night by the Watch,
taking very comfortable nap, on some plank
in the entrance way to the slip of the Alexan-
dria and Washington Ferry. The Watch in
vited them to accommodations, in the Watch
House, on the way to which, one of them,
Cornelius Bailey, became rather obstreperous
and thought he could whip several, Watchmen
and eat I'D several, without salt. The Watch
men we're not much alarmed at his cannlbal-
istic propensities and put him into bis lodging.
This morning the Mayor made him pay for his
:blowiDg," and let the others go with out
fine.
Albert Christian was before the Mayor this
morning, anxious to get divorce from his wife,
but His Honor referred Albert to the proper
authorities, in such cases, made and provided.
After good long pow WOW, between the man
and his wife, they concluded to divide THEN
furniture, and separate. Each promised to let
the other do what seemed proper, without mo,
lestation.
