PASSING AwAY.-The recent death Of
the last ex-President of the United
States brings up reflections relative to
his old-time antagonists and adherents,
his contemporaries and compeers. AS
Americans, We live at very fast gait,
and twelve or fourteen years is lengthy
period in our politics. The active par
ticipators in the great national drama
will soon be all gone. Lincoln. Seward,
Sumner, Stanton, Chase, johnson, Lee
Breckenridge and q host of others are
gone, and with the exception of Grant.
Davis, Stephens and few more, the
prominent characters in that conflict are
at rest. The old race of statesmen and
the old-school politicians have laid down
their armor and taken upon themselves
the guise of immortality. Simon Cam
eron. Reverdy johnson. Thurow Weed
and Caleb Cushing, are about all that is
left of the eloquent assemblage that once
uttered their impassioned oratory in the
Senate chambers. With new Issues
come new men 10 discuss them and
whatever regret may be felt for the past
is modified by the token of equal power
of speech and ability OF utterance in the
future.

MAJOR GENERAL PICKETT.

Major General Geo. L. Pickett died at
Norfolk, Va, on the night of the 3Oth

Dinkelspiel of Cincinnati, falls into a
beer-vat, the telegraph gives us appall
ing particulars of the dread catastrophe
ere the finger has ceased to bleed or the
doughty Dinkelspiel has had his clothes
squeezed dry. but when distinguished
general and gallant hero makes his exit
from this world. that instrument is mute.
General Pickett was born in Richmond
Va, and graduated from West Point in
June 1876. He was Immediately as.
signed to active duty in the Eighth q
S. Infantry, and marched with General
Scott : forces upon the Mexican Capt.
toi. lie was breveted Captain at the
battle Of Chapultepec When his native
State seeded from the Union in 1861,
Captain Pickett, who was on duty in
Oregon, resigned his commission and
rendered his services to the Richmond
government, which were accepted. He
was commissioned Colonel, and in Feb
ruary 1862 made Brigadier General in
Longstreet' division of the Army of the
Potomac. He distinguished himself in
the severely contested engagements in
which that army took part. 1t was at
the battle of Gettysburg on the first
days of July 1868, that Pickett by his
gallantry established a name for himself
in the records of military fame. Every.
one remembers the great charge of
Pickett's DIVISION" where three out OF
every four of that body was left on the
field. He headed the column on that
day of carnage. and when the sun went
down he was comparatively alone. every
brigade general had fallen, and Meade
had all the more substantial fruits OF
victory. During the remainder of the
war, Pickett was assigned an active part,
again distinguishing himself before
Petersburg, His gallantry in battle was
equslled by his grace and courtesy in
private life. He died of gastric fever
His remains were deposited in the vault

MOST GLARING INJUSTICE.

d. A. Bender, General Freight Agent
of the ylrg. & Truckee Railroad Com
papy, has written the following letter to
the editor of the Virginia Enterprise
Ed ExrEEPRIsE:-Th Union and Cen
trail Pacific Railroads have arranged to
shin ireights from all points East direct
IL Reno, charges payable in currency.
The through rate to Reno is the same as
the the through overland rate from East
erp points to Sacramento. plus the local
coin rate from Sacramento 10 Reno, or
its equivalent in currency. In order to
sacure rates as above mentioned it is best
TO marx and consign freight to its real
destination. The Union Pacific claims
the right and exercises it, to charge their
local rates on all treights destined for
this vicinity marked and consigned to
Sacramento The advantages gained in
consigpiug shipments direct to Reno are
several days time gained and no likeli-
hood of the Union Pacific charging their
local rates. OBTAINING freight, etc. Printed
tariffs governing these shipments will
soon be received and in the hands OF the
Comrany' agents, giving fuller informa-
ton than this item can.
Yours, very truly, d. \. BENDER,
General Freight Agent.
We have often heard of unjust discrim-
nation and frequently been cognizant of
gross abuse of power, but this is Ger.
tainly the most giaring piece of injustice
ever perpetrated by a corporation. Thus
far, the Railroad Company have trundled
all freight over the mountains directly
past Reno on to Sacramento, and then
back again, great sport no doubt, and good
fun, but very costly as they charge the
Nevada business. man double freight, but
now, according to the official letter Of
the freight agent, Reno merchant will
continue to pay freight from Reno to
Sacramento and back. though his goods
are not carried beyond Reno. He pays
for what he don't get, and for action like
this, thievsh monopoly and grinding ex-
tortior are very mild terms. The new
arrangements give the merchants thell
goods few days earlier. The stipend
