The New York Eoen5a7g Gagette says that
the war between the various railroad and
steamboat companies which ply between
that city and Albany and Troy, on the.
Hudson, still continues to rage with I'M
abated fury. The result is great reduc-
ton in the price of tickets, and large
posters now announce that people will be
taken to Albany or Troy for one dollar,
with corresponding reduction to all pointg
in the West This, says che Gasette, will
make the fare TO Cleveland about three
dollars, and to Chicago seven, which we
learn are the prices actually charged. Tray
cling, at this rate, is cheap enough. '
