Inc CompetittOn Question.
The Dubuque Herald of the 9th inst.
In dbl article on the benefits of compe-
tition, says many things which we are
frank to admit are true, yet not entire
~ new to those who have for years
passed, looked forward to rompeti-
ton In routes and markets. If the
Herald will not misnhderstahd us, we
will say again that we have never at
tempted or desired to cry down Du-
buqne We shall always rejoice i'm the
growth and prosperity of the metropo-
Titan city of'Iowa, but the recent ar
rangements for the transfer of grain in
bulk at that point, have been one OF
the misfortunes to that city which the
people must accept as the inevitable
consequence of competing interests.
We agree with the Herald that it 10 a
very nice thing for the people Of the
Cedar Valley to have a through freight
to Chicago, and so long as It favors the
producer of from ten to twelve cents on
every bushel of grain, we shall hope
that IL may continue, and that other
cuinpeting routes may bring the tariffs
still lower. We do not uphold discriu,-
mating freight rates, neither have we
any admiration for immense corpora.
tons. but it is generally the case that
the people are apt to favor the comra-
ny working for their interests. and we
believe the people of Dubuque are not
an exception to the rule. The leasing
of this division of the road, by the
Central Company, and the arrange.
ments for the transfer of cars across
the river at Dubuque before the close
of navigation, was an advantage to the
producer, Of twenty dollars on en-,
load of wheat, and twenty seven dol.
lars on Car load of -four; these am
facts which the Herald will not at.

the enormous high tariffs. Is 1t won
der that the people rejoice mt the
changes? We have advocated and shal
continue to advocate all enterprises
which will do away with monopolies

ley, whether it be the Merry barge en-

Suppressed Portion Of Gen. Beauregard's
Report.

Every ex-member of the army of
Northern Virginia will read with inte-
rest the suppressed portion Of Beaure-
CARDS report of the battle of Manassas,
which we clip from the Land We Lore,
for February:
General s.. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector
General. Richmond, Virginia:
Before entering upon narration Of
the general military operations in the
presence of the enemy on the 2lst Of
July, propose-I hope not unreasona-
bly-frst to recite certain events which
belong to the strategy of the compaign,
end consequently form an essential part
of the history Of the battle.
Having become satisfied that the ad-
vance of the enemy with a decided su-
perior force, both as to numbers and war
eduipage, to attack or turn any position
10 this quarter was Immediately i'm
pending, ] dispatched or the 18th Of
July one Of my staff, Col. James Chestnut,
Of South Carolina, to submit for the con-
sideration Of the President, a plan Of
operations substantially as follows:
| proposed that General job nston
should unite as soon as possible, the
bulk of the army Of the Shenandoah
with that of the Potomac, then under
my command, leaving only sufficient
force TO garrison his strong works at
Winchester, and to guard the 1--WE delen-
sire passes of the Blue Ridge, and thus
hold Patterson in check. AT the same
time Brigadier-Genera Holmes was to
march thither, with all his comm and
not essential for the defense Of the posi-
ton OF Aqua Creek. These functions
having been effected at Manassas, an
immediate impetuous attack Of our com.
bined armies upon General Mcdowell
was to follow, as soon as he approached
my advanced position st Fairfax Coart.
house, with the inevitable result, as !
submitted, Of his complete defeat, and
the destruction OF capture Of his army.
This accomplished, the army Of the
Shenandoah, under General Johnston,

increased with a part Of my forces, and
rejoned, as he returned, by NE detach-
nent left to hold the mountain passess,
was to march back rapidly into the Val
ley, fall upon and crush Patterson with
a superior force, wheresoever he might
be found. This, confidently estimated,
would be achieved within fifteen days
after General Johnston should march
from Winchester for Manassas.
Meanwhile, was to occupy the ene-
my s'works on this side of the Potomac,
il, as / anticipated, he had been so
routed as to enable them with him, or, if
not, to retire again for time within the
lines of Bull Run with my main force.
Patterson having been virtually de-
stroyed then General Johnston would
reinforce General Garnett sufficient to
make him superior to his opponent
General McClellan) and able to defeat
that officer. This done, General Garnett
was to form an immediate junction with
General Johnston, who was forthwith to
cross the Potomac into Maryland with his
whole force, arouse the people as he ad-
vanced to the recovery Of their political
rights, and the defense of their homes
and families from an offensive invader,
and then march to the investment of
Washington, in the rear, while resumed
the offensive in front This plan Of OPP

which appeared so weighty as TO more

tages. Informed Of these views, and of
the decision of the War Department, /
then made my preparations for the stout
est practicable defense of the line Of
Bull Run, the enemy having developed
his purpose by the advance on and occu-
patton of Fairfax Courthouse, from
which my advance brigade had been
withdrawn.
The War Department having been in
formed by me, by telegraph on the 18th
of July, of the movement of General
Mcdowell, General Johnston was imme-
diately ordered to form q junction Of his
army corps with mine, should the move.
ment, in his judgment, be deemed ad-
visable. General Holmes was also d.
rected to push forward with two reg-
mentS, battery, and one company of
artillery.

For a day or two past it must have been OBJ.
served that our Hebrew friends have, in many
instances closed their places OF business, and
have gone to their synagogues to keep, In reli

jewish day of atonement. II is an old observ-
ance of the Mosaic system, and II We rightly
comprehend 1t, it has nothing modern in its
features, but is entirely of ancient origin. This
festival began on Monday evening at shutdown,
and we believe 1t was very generally observed in
this city by the Israelitish community. The
service is one Of deep sOlemnity and mu,h fervOr,
and we are told by those who understand and
are familiar with it, that it Is impressive.
The name of it, as At0uement day, Is iudica.
tive Of what 1t Is. Ia accordance with the Mo

penance for the sins of the year both Of omission
and commission. Prayer, fasting, and signs of
psniteuce mark this occasion, and the day is
one of fasting rather than foasting The services
on this occasion are somewhat peculiar, and

Interesting Reading on every Pare.
THE WHISKY FRAUDS,

1t 10 estimated that the Government lost last
year 5000, coo, 900 by the frauds In the whisky
manufacture alone. How much has been lost
TO the Government In other frauds II Is impossi-
bio to tell. Were all the facts connected with
the manufacture Of this liquor, and the desp.lsid
plans to defraud tho Revenue Department made
known, the public would be astounded. Mer
high in official position, in the social, business,
and political walks Of life, do not hesitate to
engage In this nefarious business Of robbing the
Government, knowing as they do, that every
dollar they take from the Golfers Of the Treas
ury-or rather perhaps we should say preven
from going into those cofers-but increases TIT
taxes of the poor man to that extent proper
tionstely. That Is, II the Government lose
5000 900, 000 II must be made up from other
sources. Some curious facts have been brought
10 light in reference to the manufacture oil
whisky, and the sly and ingenious lodges which
arc resorted to to defraud the Government. 1t
Is n notorious fact that vessels arc loaded with
molasses and other materials for making whisky,
and started from one port to another, with the
oJtcnsible purpose of being engaged in the coast
ing or freghting business when the sole purpose Is
to go into 4 sure place, cast anchor, and having
stills on board, 60 to work In the manufacture
Of tho article, and thus avoid the Government
tax This we are assured is actually done to a
ruinous extent and the Treasury is defrAudod,
and the honest distlltr made to suffer as 4 con.
sequence
We are told that in New York city clay stills
owners can well afford to run the risk of having
these stills eonf'cated, as single days business
will more than compensate for the Ices We
have been told Of one man who but short time
ago was not worth $1,000, Is now rated at
81, 600 900, all made by this Illicit manufacture
Of whisky, which runs the gauntlet, avoiding the
revenue tax.
II we go back to the year 1860 we ind that
ninety million gallons of whisky were manu-.
featured in the United States that year, bat in
1855 we End that the Government collected the
tax on only fourteen millions. 1t has been esti.
mated, and there Is very good authority for the
calculation, that over one hundred million gal.
Ions were manufactured during that year so
this being the true state Of the case, IL will DO
easily estimated that the Government lost 5000,
900, 900.
There Is one Wow OF this question which 10
presented to US here in Washington, which Ia
very suggestive Of fraud, or something Of the
kind. The moment there Is anything opening in
the shape Of n vseancy in connection with tn,
collection Of the taxes on whisky the scrambl,
for the place Is tremendous. The President AM
the Secretary Of the Treasury are besieged nigh
