TBs TwRlvfn.-E E0orts will b made b
settle with this regiment and send il on il
way rejoicing before to-usorrew afternoon.
/, Thee companies win be sent .nofthward
toward AcGregor. where they were raised.
The members - this regiment report that
Ia their opinion. there is no necessity fol
tstSt,oning troops in she South. The people
there have had quite enough Of war to
satisfy the nastial ardor Of theprssent gen.
Grafton, ct least. II they were disposed TO-
wards hostility, their resources are 50
utterly exhausted that An insurrection could
not possibly be raised. The time honored
animosity against the Government i not en-
tirely sdbdued, but 90 IT ~ coy practical
effect is attacbsd to it, it might as we'll not
exist The only real haters Of the North,
are men who never fought in the war, and
who have not shared in the general desttu-
ton. The private soldiers, who have los:
their all in the contest, are quite we'll salts
fed to return to peaceful avocations, and
endeavors to repair the losses Of the past.
Az for negro suffrage, the members Of the
Twelfth declare themselves q being inca
pAble Of comprehending the necessity for
Eaoy such an absurd measure
| GgAIN TsANsPoRrAnoN.-It costs SIXTY
five cents to ship bushel Of wheat from
Dubuque. Iowa, to New York, BY the way
Of Chicago and Buffalo. From the same
place to New York. BY the way Of New
Orleans the cost will be thirty three cents,
thus making saving Of thirty-two cents
per bushel. To ship over the Illinois Gen.
tral to Cairo, and then via New Orleans the
cost will be forty-eight cents, being a saw
ing Of seventeen cents over the Chicago
route. With such state Of facts before
them, our Western grain dealers could, if
they choose, cause the tariff charged BY the
railroads, to decrease toa reasonable rate.
The diversion Of the carrying trade down
the Mississippi would open the eyes ofrail-
road men and cause the price Of freighting
to come down "by the rum" to . rate that
shippers could afford to send their grain to
market by rail. Until competing line is
established the railroad nonopolies will
keep the terms Of frieghts at such . figure
that if there is any profit in shipping grain,
they will make it to the exclusion of the
producer.
