A Touching Tribute.

Earl Derby, whose literary works,
apart from his reputation as the
greatest living statesman, have
given him an exalted place in the
esteem and affections of many peO-
pie in this country, sent copy of
his own translation of Homer to
Gen. Robert E. Lee soon after the
war, and wrote this singularly beau
tiful and imprisoned tribute on a
fiy-leaf of the vOlume:
The grand old bard who never dies
Receive him in our English tongue;
/ send thee, but with weeping eyes
The story that he sung,
Thy Troy is fallen thy dear land
Is marred beneath the soldiers heel;
l cannot trust my trembling hand
To write the things / feel,
Oh, realms of tears but let her bear
This blazOn to the end of time -
fNo nation rose as white and fair,
None fell so pure of crime"
The widows moan, the orphans wall
All around thee; but in truth be strong,
Eternal right, though all things fail,
Can never be made wrong.
An angels mouth an anelS tongue,
Not Homer's could alone for me
Hymn forth the great Confederate South,
Virginia first !-then Lee!

"WEDNESDAY. Jnne 6-p. NJ.

In the Buffalo market reports of yesterday June
o there appeared among the shipments by canal to
New-York the following: Consigned through on
contract Of 81 40 per ton from Chicaso-Lard,
G27, 900 pounds; pork, SOB barrels" This rate,
which, by the railroads distance, would be equal 10
only about 5jlOo ills per ton per mile, illustrates
the kind OF competition to which the railroads must
now submit or decline large proportion Of the busl-
ness. That they wisely are doing the latter-not
taking freight az 1l2 even mills per ton winch
cost them or mills 10 haul-is evident from the
fact that cars are being brought to the Atlantic ports
empty in order 10 take back the very moderate
quantity of Western business offered. Our private
dispatches from Chicago of to-day deny the runnor
of yesterday from Philadelphia to the effect that the
Baltimore and Ohio Company had reduced its
rates grain, saying that they cannot eompete
with the low water rates TO New-foTk for
foreign traffic. and that the quantity which must go
