From the Louisville Courier Journal. I
The arrival at tie Fourteenth street de/
pot yesterday Of q train of oil tank cars
from Cleveland indicated new and inter-
es!iug trade feature for our city, and one Of
great importance. A Courier-Journal re-
porter visited the train, and found Messrs.
Chess and Carey of the firm OF Chess, Car
Icy & Co, proprielors OF the Great South
ern Oil works, Mr.. E. NJ Warield, inspec/
tor Of oil, and Others, witnessing the first
transfer Of oil from the train to other tank
cars on the Nashville railroad track -
Through the libernlity Of Horace Scott,
Esq, and the Bridge Company, an elevated
railway has been constructed alougside OF
the Nashville track, upon which the tank
cars are ruo, placing them considerably
higher than the other cars, aud the oil is
transferred from one tank car to another by
hose attached to the bottom of the tanks on
the elevated railway. This operation is
accomplished without waste and with the
utmost cs!erity The northern oil thus
transferred is taken down the Nashville
rnnd 10 the oil work, at the foot of Sixth
street. The tanks are boiler shape, painted
white, twsntyIthree feet long, and five feet
in diameter, with dome to allow for the
swelling of oil 10 warm weather. Each
tsuk cont aims 5000 gallons Of oil, and rests
In . cavity on platform with patent

Tho Peerless Rose.

That loveliest specimen of woman, Aspasia,
who lived in the days, and the r7sOciate of So
crates PeTlcles, and Alcibiades, in Athens, from
certain circumstance, wOTshipped the rose. Love-
ly IN form and featdr, beyond the common lot
Of her sex, vet she had hldeouS wait on her face,
which marTed all her enjoyment, and rendered
her young life miserable. II deiied all the arts of
the doctors, nurses and causticS. One night the
beautiful Aspasia weary of lite with that terrible
blot on her face cried herself to sleep. In her
dreams do7e was sent 10 her 10y the Goddess We
nus and informed her, II she would take some
rose leaves and lay them on her cheeks this waTt
would disappear, She did so, and she became as
perfect in beauty she was in intellect. The
great orator, PeTices. divorced his wife TO many
Aspasla. She was ait 'rwards the of two
wars -one between the AthenisnS and LscedD-
monlans, and the other the Athenians against Sa-
mlans 1t we could induce some OF the young la
dies of the present day says egant writer, to
divide part of the devotion paid to music with
the cultivation OF the peerless rose, and other
flowers, it would bring beauty 70 their cheeks and
more lie and vivacity to their music. The kisto-
ry of the past is full of alteration of the rose
Heliogabulus bathed i'll rose wine, and Nero had a
fountain throwing up rose water, TO supply which
whole shiploads of ros wer brought from Greece,
the ancient home of the rose. There is no better
index Of refinement, es we pass the street or pub
lie highways in the country than to see this beau
titul hower having prominent place IN the sit
ting-roem, garden, or lawn.

Tho Railroads and tho Earmere.

1t appears that tho alroads in Illinois are about
to enter q struggle W th the farmers, which will
prove very disastrous to both par es. No doubt
they viii both regret that they have not compro-
missed matters through LEG stature cnactm, s.
1t is said that as soon as tie official sched1 oil
rates is prepared by the ) a. oil ials, tho /
roads will conform their own to it, at the he
time, however, dispensing with tlcir palace cars,
reducing their accommodations, and putting AZ
their appointments ON cheap scale, and they
hope paying scale They will also cease to run
half full freight cars. While accepting all freight
offered, cars not loaded to their full capacity will
be detached and run on a siding, there to await
a complete load. This is fighting the farmers
after anew fashion. "Whcn Greek meets Greek,

ter.
sEvENTY-oNE soLDIERs KILLED AND SIXTY NINE
WOUNDED.
The fighting, of the Modocs has disgracsd the
Army and brought shame upon the Government
The Washington Generals, as well as the Generals
in the field, should be ashamed of the results that
have followed since they took the field against
Capt Jack and his baud of murdcrers.
These Modoc Indians are said to number only
about sixty warriors, and yet they have succ eded
in killing seyenty-one American soldiers and
wounding sixty nine This too against fighting
force of more than five TO one In committing this
terrible slaughter by which about one-fith OF our
army has been killed and near another fifth put
oys de combat, they have succeeded in covering
theirown loss as to deprive our Generals of even the
knowledge Of how many Modocs have been lied
and how many wounded. Really the Modocs must
think they are Sighting squaws
How wonderfully have our soldiers dwarfed and
shrvelled since they fought under Scott, old Zach
Taylor, Gains, Harney and hosts OF other minor
names Those men fought the most brave and
warlike of the, great tribes, anl made the very
name of the white soldier terror throughout All
the western wilds. Now the most inferior OF the
uncivilized roOt-eatsrs have out-gcneraed us and
reduced the army from It's high reputation. Be
fore we had civilians and intellect at the head Of
the Government and Generals ia the feld-now 1t
looks like we had no Generals anywhere, nOtw 4th-
standing men with military tides fill every de-
partment at Washington.
Such is the fruits Of havir a iI.her at the head
of afsirs A man who begs big I'd for
small service, and to secure doubl pay for self
would run the already overburdened nation into a
debt of fifteen or twenty milIioIs Of dolla.s
1t has been said the Negro whipped out the Re
belion, now the Warm Spring Indians are re
quircd to whip out the Modoc war
This terrible slaughter OF our poor soldiers i,
inflicted in the face of The fact that we now have
all the improved weapons of rifles that Kill
q mile of and earbines that are loaded at the
breach and fired sixteen times without reloadinc
-hOwitzers that drop their terrible shells Just
where they arc needed Ia fan within range of
several miles, and cannon thai carry grape, cani-
ter and solid shot two and three miles, with tho
precision that was formerly with the old musket
attained at forty and fifty yards Contemplating
such results with Captain Jack, what ridiculous
figure we would cut fighting such men as Viii

rhe Proceedlnps of council.

The proceedings OF the City Council VII be
found very interesting to those who take e1 in
terest in the progress of the city, We feel sorry
that we cannot leave the matter entirely - the
hands Of the reporters; but there some things
said which the cause OF trathlequres to bo brought
separately before the people.
Nj, PIckels, in his speech IN his own defence,
went into city politics genera =, aud reie, led to
the past. There are ex-counclmen who are not in
that body now to defend then selves. Mr.. Tickels
III referring to the funded debt of $4,000, said
the Democrats had the majo..ty in june, 1871,
they reduced the 'taN levy lron II cents on the
800 to lOlG cents in consequence OF this at the
close Of the year there W; a floating debt of $50,
0OO."
Here Is an admission that is OF some value. 1t
was made no doubt also in Dover 10 influence the
passage of the bill for funding the debt Now, If
this was the cause of the large floating debt that
has Just now been funded does it not prove that the
Democrats made an effort to conduct the affairs of
the city more economically Docs it not also
prove that the $4,000 was left in the people
pockets, But the statement IS not correCt-ihe
Democrats found large floating debt when they
went into power, nor was the dobt $4,000 when
tneY went Cut Ol power OhqucSilohaDlY Y they re-
fused to take out of the pockets of the people
about one-hfth of the tax they had been paying,
aud had they not got into power the people Wo0ld
have been sSddcd with about 30 cents instead Of
lO1l; and that would scarcely have covered the
expenses that were about to be incurred by the
adoption of paid fire department
In that one year Of power the Democrats COM
mittcd some blhnders but none Of them were
very damaging except to their patty. They were
committed from want of experience, and some OF
these such,a the useless purchase of the new fire
bell, were recommended by their opponents.
But aside from tbs, by their reversal of the ac-
tion of the Republicsn msjoiity in tho Council,
which was TO reduce the volunteer FIRE department
to paid system with only three steam fire en-
gines, the Democrats saved this city at least one
hundred thousand dollars in taxation three years
and perhaps from such fate as has befsllen Chi
cago and Boston.

through the Legislature for that body. 1t is gen.
orally supposed that this money was given away,
that there really was no service rendered by any
one except by Mr.. Massey himself
This information was brought out no doubt by
the resolution offered by Mr.. McIntire in Coun-
Gil. At least the correspondence between Mr..
McIntire aud Mr.. Massey would lead to that in
