The Toledo, Wabash & Weston Railway
reduction in rates of freight from Eastern
cities to cities on the line of that road The
Quincy IJhig and Republican says '.the dis
tance from New York to Quincy via T., W.
W. railway is less than from New \ ork to
Chicago, but heretofore the rates have always
been in favor Of Chicago and st. Louis
those cities being the great business points
Seeing that Quincy and points along their
route were not having justice done them, the
T., w. &, W. railway asserted their rights and
brought such influences TO bear upon the
other roads that they found il to their interest
to comply with the demands Of this line, and
now the merchants of Qaincy will have to pay
no more per mile than those of Chicago or
St. Louis, which of course will allow every
wholesale merchant to sell as cheaply and
with as large profits rs those Of Chicago. Be
ii remembered that the credit of this belongs
exclusively to the T., W. & W railway,
as other roads bitterly opposed it. The fol-
lowing dispatch, announcing the success Of
the company in this particular was received
last eveng by Mr. Harvey, the general agent
of the T., ". & W. road in this city:
"SPPINGFiELD, Feb. Q.
"MR. WN. HARVEY: Sir-We have brought
about the reduction of rates of freight west.
ward bound from New York to Quincy, which
we have been trying so long to accomplish.
Quincy merchants in future need not pay trib-
ute to those of Chicago and St. Louis. New
ork tariffs of Feb. 9th make rates on all
classes to Quincy at less rates per mile than
TO either of the above points. The Toledo,
Wabash d Western railway i. entitled to the
credit OF securing these reductions, so siren
uously opposed by other lines.
Yours, &c, E. C. SMITH,
Gen Western Freight Agent.

Anger first, and tnen folly After bad po-
litical humors fretting the courses of i'll blood
ed veins had led the chivalry to lash them
selves into the blatant frenzy that was fol-
lowed by unsuccessful treason, one would
think they should now be disciplined into a
wholesome temperance, and would eschew
madness and folly. They do not. Here is
anger: Mr.. YANcEY, Of Mississippi, writes to
Gen. FIsKE, of the Freedmen Bureau, con-
cerning colored girl who had been sold
away from her parents "As for recognizing
the right of freedmen to their children, | can
say that not one Southern man or woman in
the whole South recognizes the negro as a
freedman, but as stolen property forced by
the bayonets of the damnable United States
Government" YANCEY is mad. He is not
alone in it. The South is full of persons of
kindred thoughts and feelings
Southern folly is illustrated by Gov WISE,
of Virginia. This irrepressibe and unhung
rebel and traitor, nurses the madness of Sc
cession in the old Dominion by lauding trait
ors as pure patriots, loyal citizens, brave,
honest, devoted men, Immortal heroes and
martyrs" He tears agape the yet uncica-
tried wounds and for moderation trains to vio-
lence, and for the quiet submission to the is
sue of the strife which alone can bring peace
and prosperity to the South and Virginia, he
excites to discomfort and protracted insubor
dination. We're he honest and right
he might learn modesty and teach the people
how bootless the labors of political agi
tator. Comparing Virginia now with
what it was, when he, as its Governor, in time
ofpeace, melted it and prepared it for future
rebellion, he might Justly circumscribe pas
sion, and accept loyalty to the Union as best
for the citizen and the State The poverty
brought by slavery and the desolation by war,
should constrain politicians and people to ac-
cept the result of contest that brings Union
and unprecedented prosperity if proper indus
try and wise counsels prevail
WISE, too, has his comrades in folly through
out the South. Brawliug demagogues, who
cause old grievances to rankle and are the
enemies OF social order and popular safety
"dlsscntous rogues, that rubbing the poor
itch Of their opinion, make themselves scabs
The people should turn away from such lead
ers. No good can come OF raving against
the government for the woes that have come
with the civil strife themselves inaugurated.
They should be advised that, "For their
wants, their sutferings in this dearth, they
may as well strike at the heavens with their
slaves, as lift them against the Government;
whose course will on the way it takes, break
ing ten thousand curbs of more strong link
asunder than can ever appear in their imped-
iment.' And further, that by exciting, in
stead Of allaying popular passions, They are
transported by calamity, thither where more
attends them; and they slander the helms
of the State who care for them like fathers,
when they curse them as enemies"

After a severe cross-examination, the,

ominous shake of the head, exclaimed
"Mr. witness, has not an effort been made
to induce you to tell different story3"
GA different story from what I have told,

sir; several persons have tried to gctme
to tell different story from what l have
told, but they couldn't." Now, Sir, upon
