General Lees $ Loyal Institution. !.

NNhCAaA RCC Fl 1py "a AhHkAbAtt0Hs'
Facts are being daily developed
which prove that Washington Col
lege, Lexington, Va, Of which Gen.
r. E. LEE is President, is one Of the
most Tirulent rebel institutions in
the land-a school for the propaga-
ton of hatred to the Government and
its loyal people. From the Principal
down to the humblest tutor, the Fac
ulty are thoroughly rebel in senti-
ment, and act accordingly, if we may
believe a Lexington correspondent Of
the Independent. It is only a few
weeks since that Mr.. E. G. JOHNSTON,
a merchant Of Lexington. who unfor-
tunately hailed from the East, was at
tackled on the North River while
skating, BY seventy FIVE young sprigs
Of ehivalry, students at the College,
and severely beaten, simply because
he was a Yankee" Mr.. JOHNSTON
applied to General WILCOX for pro-
lection, and the latter called on Gen.
LEE, who promised to prevent further
outrages. and Gen Wilcox was sat
isfed. The students, however, gave
Mr.. JOHNSTON notice that if he did
not leave Lexington within a specified
time, they would hang him, and
through the counsel of his friends he
did leave. In view of such facts as
these, is it not astonishing that HENRY
WARD BEEcHEB, HORACE GREELEY,
.GERRITr SMITH, and other Northern
men will lend their countenance and
give of their means toasupport such a
hot-bed of prescription and embryo

The Presidential Campaign of 1868
promises to be one Of the most inter-
esting and exciting in the history of
the country. The issues to be dis
cussed and determined by the people
are of the greatest moment to the
peace and prosperity of the Nation.
It is highly important that the voters
be properly informed and thoroughly
posted on the political situation. The
most effective way to accomplish this
is to place in their hands a sound and
reliable Republican newspaper.
In order to enable the active Union
men of Southern Indiana and Illinois
and Western Kentucky to secure for
the WEEKLY JOURNAL a wide
circulation in their respective neigh
borhoods, we have placed the terms

Railroad Matters.

! posed u -repadiate the bonds issued
to the Indianapolis and Vinceunes
Railroad, on the ground that the road
was to be used by the Cincinnati bust
ness men IN a way to injure the trade
of Indianapolis. Gen. BURNSIDE,
however, visited the latter city, talked
pretty to a committee of the City
Council, and convinced the gentlemen
composing it that everything was just
as nice as it could be, and they re-
commended that the bonds be issued
and paid.
IT is rumored that the Indianapolis
and Charlottesville Railroad has been
suppressed. A great deal Of money
has already been spent on the road,
and its abandonment is manifestly
swindle on those who subscribed
stock. The officers no doubt made a
good thing out of the sale Of the road
to those who were interested in its
suppression.
THE stockholders Of the Louisville
and Nashville Road held a meeting at
Louisville on the 31st of March,
and adopted the amendment to the
charter of their road granted
by 1.-THE last Legislature. The
amendment allows the issuing of eight
million dollars additional stock to be
applied for the purpose of extending
the connections of the road. Much
of this amount viii, no doubt, be ap-.
piled on the Elizabethtown aud Pa
dueah branch, whose construction
will materially affect the trade Of our
city.
THE indianapolis Council have au-
thorized the Junction Railroad Com
pany to lay down single tracks through
several of the prominent streets, 50 as
to connect it with other railroads.
On the 31of April, 19l loaded cars
were forwarded from Toledo. or
these, 36 cars were loaded at Toledo.
On the same day 156 loaded cars were
received from the East. Forty five
of these were for Toledo. Besides
this, p empty cars were received and
5 forwarded. This is a specimen of
one days freight business by a single |
road, and is sign of what may be !
done in sending freight through to
and from seaboard and the West by !
rail.

Mr.. WELKER thought it was never right
to give unlimited power to run at will,
branches to whatever point it might see fit.
He agreed with the Senator from Mecklen-
burg, that it should not abdcate all the
power, and he considered that we did, to a
certain extent in this bill. Sometime here
after another road might be chartered in this
same section of country, and this road would
run a branch tina. might ruin the business of
the new road. He thought the General AS.
semoly should keep the power in its own
hands, and if this company wanted to build
n new branch let it come to us, and if it was
deemed proper the right would be granted
Mr.. LAssITER thought with some expI.
rience in railroad matters, that the following
was an infallible rule: that railroads never
injured country through which they
| passed. And in the present condition of
affairs, he, believed railroads to he the very
foundation stone upon. which the future
prosperity of the South depended One
railroad never destroyed another. It was
feared some time ago that certain new roads
would injure the North Carolina road, vet
had never been in SO prosperous a condition
as at present. 1t was a false theory that the
people were Impoverished by the aid ex-
tended railroads, and were hurt by the build
ing Of railroads.. Past experience had shown
no bad results, By giving power to this
company to build branches, it might be of
the greatest benefit to the State BY enabling
it to open mines of iron or coal, or to fur
nish the market with some valuable fertil-
izer that would benefit the farmers all over
the State or by opening lime deposit that
would prove to the greatest value. He was
in favor of granting every aid to railroads
aswouldbe compatible with the interests of
the State, and considered such course as
