Thoae charges have been in operation since
date of present tariff. June lst 1863. Tonnage
passing to or coming from points beyond AleX-
andra received a. Or sent from any local Sta
ton, either on main line or Manassas branch,
has invariably paid the additional rates, n
shown by table Of com paTison, except in ic"
instances on freight to Gordonsvilie, W here
connecting roads have made slight concessions.
In adopting rates on through transportation
between Baltimore and other eastern cities and
Lynchburg, some notifications in respect to
classification and rates have been made to meet
competition and secure business to tho road.
To accomplish this it bf came nece sary TO con-
form to the rates of competing lines or lose tn
ira fic. The tariff sheets of all railroads in Viz
ginia recognize the distinction between local
and through freight. as does the law, and
charge accordingly. Gut SO Tar as rates be-
ed, the following compar ison Of charges will
show that there is no adverse discrimination

For time owing to change of classification

to correspond with that adopted by the 'Vlrgin-
ia and Tennessee Airline some discrimination
resulted as compared with similar transpOrta-
ton from Alexandria to Lynchburg; but rs
soon rs Inc laCL was usCOfeE0u, Wy yOui uiioC-
ton, the proper change was promptly adopted.
In regard to rates on freight transported on
the Manassas branch, the principle as estab-
lished in the acs of the Legislature consolidat.
Jog the two roads has been observed, and
charges made pro rata to correspond with sim.
liar distances on main line indeed, in several
instances the advantage of the pro rata charge
has been given to the branch under the rule
adopted, when it was considered likely to IL
crease business over the road. Tho Manassas
branch has been assumed as beginning at the
junction Of the two roads, and charges from
thence to and from any station made to conform
to rates for similar distances on main line from
Alexandria to its local stations
The average charge per ton per mile OH the
Manassas branch is within fraction Of cent
the same with that of the main line for local
business, although the length Of the latter is
much greater and rates relatively less for long
distances are conceded to all railways.

The report of the Hoswell trial will be read
with interest. 1t is one of the most curious
chapters of the criminal history of the coun-
try The extraordinary theory of the defence,
that man, armed with knife and pistol, may
conceal himself under the bed of an unfath-
fsl wife, knowing her TO be So and by the
sight of that which he expected to see, eX-
perience a five minutes insanity kill man,
and be excused by the verdict of a iury-that
theory, we are happy to say, is overturned by
the finding of the jury in this case. Such Il
theory, carried into practice, is to give license
to ruffianism and murder, that will find prov
ocation wherever it is sought for. The twelve
men who constituted the Augusta jury deserve
the thanks of the whole community. -Belfast

There was an animated discussion at the
Soldiers National. Asylum Friday evening,
upon the question, SIS there reason TO be-
lieve that the human race all descended from
one coupler" The affirmative maintained
that analogy drawn from the domestic ami
mails point to one origin, and that the history
of the geographical distribution of races, the
history of language, and the fundamental
characteristics of all the races, point to the
same source. The negative maintained that
the account given in Genesis is not credible
evidence to the point; that sufficient time has
not elapsed to produce the difference we now
observe in the races and that if the Bible
account of Gains going to Nod for wife is
true, then there must have been other people
in the world than those who sprung from
Adam and Eve. The question was decided
in the negative by one vote.
