fore the New Orleans Grand Jury.

New ORLEANS, May THE grand jury has
passed resolutions to have Kellogg and his
officers appear before them on the charge of
usurping the government of louisiana. Judge
Durell ordered the report filed and subpmnas
to be issued for the parties to appear before the
grand jury. The grand jury has also reported
against the metropolitan police.
The excitement prevailing throughout the
city was increased this evening by the report
that Kellogg had been shot. The report was
untrue, but it appears pistol was fred near
him, and report says at him.
REF oRTs FROM THE INTERIOR.
BRAsHEAR Cry, May Eight mctropoli-
fans arrived this morning, making forty-fye
whites altogether. The citizens refused them
all shelter, and they are stopping in small
negro cabin, filled with negroes. They have
orders to go to ST. Martinsville, but can get
no transportation. The ferry fiat here has
been removed and the fish boats stopped near
Franklin and guarded by citizens. The cit-
zens here all determined All is quiet.
One metropolitan has just arrived here from
ST. Martinsvile. He came through the swamp,
and has verbal dispatches for New Orleans
He says Badger is hemmed in. He heard
heavy cannonading last night at A. NJ,
within two squares of the courthouse, where
Col. Badger has concentrated his forces. The
citizens are collecting from every portion OF
Attakapas. Most of the recruits are OF the
better class, well-mounted and generally arm
cd with breech-loading shot-gnus. So far the
young men principally have gone to the field,
The married men in the towns are watching
the negro organizations, and preparing to
Illustrate them. The captains of steamboats,
have been warned not to transport metropoli-
tans, and consequently did not bring these at
the Bay, knowing their boats would be blown
up. The Bayou Teche is under surveillance
by well-organized bodies of citizens. The Kel-
logg troops can only reach St. Martnsville by
lighting their way up the bayou. 1t is gener-
ally believed that an engagement took place
last night, but no reports have been received
up to the present hour.

many, England, Sweden, France, Austria

is expressed at this state of things by the
American exhibitors. The correspondent Of
the Baltimore Sun, who is in Vienna, gives a
graphic account of the opening of the exhibi-
ton. 1t is reported in Vienna that q gold
brick from Montana, weighing four hundred
pounds and worth about Sl00, 0O0 viii be
placed on exhibition in the United States de-
partment, and the design is to rattle it off. A
gold brick weighing one hundred pounds, from
California, was placed on exhibition in Paris
in 1861 and by rafting realized some $26, 900,
and was won by poor mason. The proceeds
were devoted to the procuring of passages to
the United States for some / 900 emgrants

TnE METROPOLITAN BRANCH r. R-As this
road is soon to be opened to travel, n short
description of it may not be uuntcresting to
our readers. The road is ~ miles long, that
is, from Washington to Point of Rocks, and
brings Washington forty-ninc miles nearer TO
the West and the object of its construction
was to furnish direct line West which should
take in Washington, and thus avoid the heavy
grades Of the Patapsco Valley. The road is
very straight and passes over rich and fertile
country, and the scenery beautiful. Ground
on the road was first broken in 1866, and that
portion lying in the District was finished by
July, 1869. The right of way through Mont
gomery and Frederick counties was not OBJ
tanned until the spring Of 1870, after which
the work was pushed forward with as great
dispatch as possible, under the direction Of
James l.. Randolph, Chief Engineer of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and under the
personal supervision of p p cambridge, AS
sistant Engineer. The cost thus far has been
$40, 900 per mile, aud upwards of SO 900, 900
have been expended mp TO this time, Its cost
when finished win be about SO, 500, 900. The
summit level above tide water is 500 feet.
Over Rock Greek, ten miles from Washing
ton. a bridge has been erected 450 feet in length
and 10 feet high. 1t has stone abutmcnts, and
is Baltimore iron bridge Of four spans Of one
hundred feet each The road from Rockville
to this point is perfect air line, curves are
unfreqTent, gradual, and the road level. Air
lines of from two to four miles are numerous.
Over the Little Seneca there is a treste work
600 feet long and 100 feet above ordinary water
level. Across the Big Seneca is a trestle work
IS feet high and 400 feet long. At Oakland
Mills there is trestle over the little AIonocacy
500 feet long and Is feet high; two miles be-
yond is the big Monocacy, which is crossed by
bridge 700 feet in length. 1t is a Bollman
double track bridge, based upon stone piers 9G
feet high. The road from this point follows
the line of the canal, through the river bottom
TO the Point of Rocks. The stations from
Washington and their distances are as follows:

ExToRTioN ON Railroads.&c. has not been
long since that we published a statement to
the effect that Western dealer had to pay
the value of one hundred and eleven bushels of
corn for the privilege of sending one hundred
TO market. This corn was shipped to Phila-
delphia. And now the statement comes that
it costs seventy-fve bushels of wheat to
pay for the transportation of one hundred
bushels. 1t is no wonder then that the far
mers in the Northwest are uniting in solid
column to break down this tremendous mo-
nopoly The prairies, as it were, are ablaze
with enthusiasm, and in Illinois and Iowa the
farmers are marshalling into line to resist any
party and policy that has for its aim the con-
tinuance of these cxaetons, and they will sue
coed, for no matter what may the opposition
to the movement, it must yield to the pressure
Of that public opinion which will be brought
to bear against them, and that opinion is in
creasing in volume and in strength as it spreads
over the vast agricultural regions of the North
west, inhabited as it is by q race of hardy men
who "know their rights, and knowing, dare
maintain them" They have borne this impo-
sition long enough and now have taken their
stand in resistance. The party that supports
the railroads will sink beneath the frown of
this opposition. They have summed up their
case against the railroad companies in the
brief sentence ofevery one hundred bushels
of grain raised by their toll, seventy-five go to
the railroad companies before it reaches the
the Market
No community, no State, can stand such
exactions, and these Northwestern people have
resolved to pnt an end to the extortion. The
battle has begun and with no doubtful fore
boding as 10 the ultimate issue. These people
are in earnest, and they will SO mould opinion
that resistance will be vain. We may expect
therefore, to hear of the enactment of laws in
the Northwestern States fixing a tariff Of rates
for passengers and freights, by which the rail
way managers will be made TO conform to the
rules of right. Until some such thing is done
these extortionate demands will be made
these concentrated monopolies will go on until
they onn the country as they now do the Gov
eminent Look at the Congress Of the United
Sates-al its members are not impure-but
enough are who have an etching palm" and
who will lend their aid to enact any measure,
for any interest. In this sense these compa-
mics own the Government, aud therefore il is
while they are upheld by subsidies from the
Government, the people must have care that
they do not invade private rights. This the
people of the Northwest are determined they
shall not do.

ALIoUoR CAsE.-Tllinois, Indiana and Ohio

MARY responsibility upon every glass Of liquor
sold A case is reported by the Cincinnati
Commercial of the 25ih, in illustration. At

or obtained whiskey at saloon kept by one
Evans, became intoxicated, wandered off into
the woods, and died from exposure TO the
element Mrs. Lewis brought suit against
the saloon keeper for damages under the State
