Between these two large cities there are three
lines of transportation of freights--two Rail-
roads and the Mississippi River. The result is
active competition and low freights. One Rail
road is now taking -four from St. Louis to New
Orleans, a distance of eight hundred miles al
least, at the remarkably low rate of 35cts pei
barrel. This is but little more than half the
rates from here to Richmond, distance Of only

'AYETTE COUNTY HEE
Mont Gems Tunnel.

The foreign papers just received
state that the tunnel is cut through
from end to end, but not to its entire
width at every point Three thousand
wOrkmen are engaged in enlarging the
interior, and as guEpowder has to be
used for this purpose, the venulating
apparatus continues to be used for re-
moving the smoke, with which the at
mosphere is occasionally charged by
reason of the heavy blasts. In part
of the tunnel the permanent rails are
not yet laid, and the materials have to
be removed by carts and horses. The
line is also blocked up by the plat
forms necessary for the construction
of the interior casing, which it is stat
ed would not be removed for twenty
days. In reference to the atmosphere
inside of the tunnel, it is stated that
the temperature is not 104 degrees
Farenheit, as has been stated, but is
only 50 degrees Fahrenheit. 1t is be-
lieved that the natural ventilation due
to the internal temperature and the
difference of level between the two
openings, viii prevent any inconven-
ience to passengers. 1t IS also argued
that the movement of trains at speed
of fifteen miles an hour will be suffi
cient to dispIace AMI renew the air, if
not, the present ventilating apparatus
can continue to be used at small
expense, the motive power being OBJ
tained by fall from the mountain.

A Virginian on the "Lost Curse.

E. A. Pollard, author of ''the lost
cause and other works in which hatred
of jeff. Davis and advocacy of Sc
cession principles were combined, is
about to publish a volume entitled
The Lost Curse" This startled some
of his Virginia friends, and Mr.. Poll
ard therefore writes to the LyDchburg
Republican to explain himself. His
statement shows what some of his
later magazine articles have indicated,
that Mr.. Pollard is getting recon
structed. We quote:
"In the first place, as to our loss of
constitutional liberty, might not that
be to a great extent imaginary-for
where was the assurance that Jefferson
Davis, who during the war ruled hard
er than Abraham Lincoln, and besides
had a demon of vanity in him, was,
in the case of his own success, to be-
come suddenly wise and benifcent,
and to revert from confirmed course
of despotism to the original object of
the war? And might not some Of the
losses which went along with 1.-The
Lost Cause" be really counted gains
We lost the folly and disgrace Of Jeff.
Davis we lost an unworthy leadership
that for years had betrayed us, now
ceased from troubling in the grave or
in the silence into which public shame
has driven it; we lost slavery, and got
rid of what had been a garment of
shame where it was not shirt of fire
we lost what had been formerly a re-
prOach to us all over the world we
lost old prejudice; we lost a ccnceit
which had heretofore blinded the
south and provoked the world; we
lost old causes of party controversy
and old themes which had been prolific
only of envy and strife. And each of
such losses had it's aspect and involve
ment of positive gain. Truly the past
war was not fought in vain, if its re-
suits were only to libcralize political
parties in America by removing old
| differences, and to make for four mill
ions OF human beings the first really
| separate experiment of civilization that
has ever happened for them, by raising
them to freedom after the necessary
/ processes of slavery to make that free
dom really safe and fruitful If in
| IlllS Hattef we Oh tIIe SouIn nave truly
fOrsaben old opinions OF the helpless
ness of the negro after slavery had
ceased to care for him, and buried all
such dogmas and conceits in the light
OF the new revelation and romance
of ''our new citizen if, in short, en-
ancipation has proved a success, then,
indeed, there is Lost Curse to match
the Lost Cause, and on such aDtithesis
alone ne may balance the accounts Of
the war"
Mr.. Pollard is progressing so rap
idly that the most radical new de
parture' democrats will have to go
through another leave taking of their
old fallacies, or be entirely outdistanc-
ed by this fast improving rebel. Gin.

The First Black Law.

The first Black Law, land it was
very black was passed in Ohio, Jan
uary 5, 1904, which required every
black person to produce a certificate
from some court that he was free; that
no white person should employ a
black man unless he had such certif-
cate, under a penalty of from SO to
$50; that no white person should hsr-
Dor or secrete a black person, the
slave of another, under penalty of
$50, &c In each case one half of
the fine was to be paid to the inform
ant. 1t contained other provisions
equally odious, unjust and severe
These black laws have all since been
wiped fiom our statute books furnish
ing another evidence that the enlight-
enment, justice and humanity of our
day are superior to and above the
boasted "good old times" of our faith
ers. Had certain party not necessa-
~ to mention, been keep in power,
such laws would have remained in
force and every man in tie State have
continued a slave catcher !-Zanes-
