To the Editor OF tho Intalligencer;
was surprised to zee an extract In

paper Of such eminent reBpectabIllty

report from one 90 VIGOROUSLY unrelIa.
bleras the Review.
The extract I allude to was In rela.
tion 10 the recent arrests OF several
men and boys from this village. The
fact that these young men have always
been loyal, and part OF them brave sol.
oilers, may have enhanced their follies
Ia the eyes Of the ReVieO, The same
fact renders those Of US who sill
lay claim 10 q gllmmerInR shark
OF patriotism, anxious 10 see fair
play awarded them when in trouble.
These men are quiet, industrious
citizens when not under Inc lnflu.

nave taken some trouble 70 aBcaT-
tain the truth about this affair, and have
found that many OF the reports, (lnclud.
iuR the Reuteso'S statement about q col .

ale utterly false.
There are always two sides TO every
story. The aggtleved liquor sellers
side has been heard, and the other has
not. Why 1t has not am not lawyer
enough 70 understand. 1t seems To my
nninltiated vision, that II Is hardly fair
10 imprison men and demand enor-
nous ball (auoh az 10 generally EequIr-
ed In high penltentiary offenses.) upon

I am reliably informed bya wit
ness who was present during the en-
tire scene at Mr.. Helmberger's, and 10
ready 10 certify, that It amounted 10 o
very ordinary Dar.room row, Nothing
more. That his vile was not nOlested:
nor was any pistol fired, l feel yerV
confident the affair will not wear Us

The quiet and lnoIIensIve' citizen,
before whose residence the boys halted, ,
was DR.. CracrRft, Of TriadelphIa. They

which should have called up glorious
memories In his loyal breast.

horrors OF Libby prison, and who has
been injured for life by rebel bullet,
should be very careful about WoundInR
the feelings OF 'lnotfenRive gentlemen
who 'teVer went across the lines.

Speed on, my peerless, swift-paced steed,
Show forth thy utmost powers Of speed.
(Why will it wobbleD
Fair dsmsels note the bird-like flight
And praise thy form, compact and light.
(Jerked Ger the cobble)
Fen fools who scorn the iron horse,
Admire thy arrow darling course.
Il fear I'll fall

Revolye as driven by lxion.

No eye can trace the speeding spokes,
Responsive 70 my trained foots strokes.
("Sprsined, !" IL should be-
Like bloodhound bounding TO the fray,
Swift as the eagle for the prey.
(The boys pass me.)
We skim along the wondering earth,
And distance steeds Of vulgar birth,
when they stand STILL
We rush through ploddng. busting streets,
The swArming, choking town retreats.
Owe had my Gill;
We gain the open well kent road,
Sparks rim thy wheels with iron shoi.

Firm poised. feel no fear, no trace,
The freshening breezes flush my face.

Ny every nerve the motion thrills,
And happiness my bosom fills.

greater profit per ton per mile than upon short
ones, and how much less we may charge per ton
per nile and yet get as much profit from tue long
as from the short distances, will be seen approx.
nately by the folio iDg figures:
Taking the fact from railway report which
clsssifes the working expenses into the parts
which are dependent upon the amount of traffic
moved. we ind that the average distance travelled
by ton Of freight was 40 miles; that the aver.
age cost of transport per ton per mile was 0.95c.,
and that the ratio of what ia called the constant
expense, to the whole, is 247l or 81 per cent.
THE distance, 40 miles, at 0.96 of q cent per
mile, gives ss a cost of moving q ton OF freight
l20 miles 1852 cents Of which 81 per cent. or 80
cents are constant, while the remaining &c cents
are to be divided by the distance l2O miles. giving
as the actual cost OF moving the load 0.63 cents
per ton per mile; whence. for different distances,
we form the following table:

II will be seen that reduction in the rates per

1t should be observed, also, that to encourage
settlement on the road Communication tickets at 20.
per mile were furnished to heads of families In
business in New Orleans whose families reside
along the line Of road and at &c. per mile to any
applicant who desired to purchase ten tickets at
time. This rate was established in 1867, and in
July. 1S6s, free tickets for five years from that
time were allowed 70 heads Of families locating on
the road and putting up residence, worth at least
$1,000.
Moreover, TO encourage the establishment Of
gardens and cultivation of soil along the road
gusno and other manures are transported at actual
cost. Thus II is seen that the board of directors
have spared efforts to stimulate trade and set.

jsians and Mississippi, the city OF New Orleans
and private stockholders would lose their entire
amount OF stock, say over 81 SOC, 600, and the
management of this important branch of our
State improvements would pass irrevocsbly into
foreign and Northern hands.
To show more clearly what reductions have
been made in the tariff rates Of the road, will
state those made In cotton and passengers:
In 1865 the freight on cotton from Canton (the
northern terminus Of the rosd) to New Orleaas
was 81 per bale. In 1856, S. per bale. In 1867
and ls6s, 81 80 per bale. In 1859, 90 so per
bale.
During that period the total receipts Of cotton
per the road were as follows:
In 1867, $1,000 baes-slO7, 0O6 OF; average
= rate per bale, 81 II.
In ls67-s, ,3O7 bAles-.367,7ss 81; average
rate per bale. 50 81.
In ls6s 9. los, 99l bsles-s2s6 JIG ls; average
Kate per bale, 81 20.
The decrease in the rate of freight per BALE be.
tween 1867 and lss7.s is 80 rs.
The decrease in amount earned same period Is
s39,9O7 81.
The decrease In rate of freight per bale between
1s67-s and 1859 is 50 81.
The decrease IN amount earned same period "a
SSlSs2 6S. showing clearly that a decrease in
freight rates only produced greater decrease in
the earnings.
On the LIST Of April, 1869, the rates Of ls6s and
1S69.wll be reduced still more, as follows:
First class, from 81 to 81 20 per 100 pounds.
20 Second class. from 81 80 TO 92c. per 100 pounds.
Third class, from 81 to 72c. per 100 pounds.
Fourth class. from 500. to Csc. per 100 pounds.
The reduction Of passenger rates produced
about the same results as the change OF freight
rates, as follows:

Naval Academy. Not until the line officers
are forced, either by their own sense of JUS
tice and decency, or by the interposition of
Congress, to lower their claims, can we hope
to witness that degree of harmony in our
naval service which is SO essential to its eff
cheney; and not until our Lord High Admi-

authority, that they are not the supreme rep

TILE NARAL QUESTION.

TIE naval question has assumed a double
aspect. In addition to the long-standing
dispute between the line and staff, another
difficulty has been brought to the surface,
concerning the relative powers of naval COM
manders and our diplomatic representatives
abroad.
In relation to the question Of relative rank
in the line and staff, but little need be said in
addition to the full comments Which Ye hayq
