were occasioned by tho accumulation Of

and surgical aperation was determined

The direction taken by the ball after

still further downward . little to the
right so al to make an acute angle with
the line Of the back. The examination
made in the presence OF Doctors
Agnsv and Hamilton showed that pus
cavity had formed in the track Of the
ball and beyond the point where it
glanced from the rib. and that this
avity could be reached by a direct in
cision three inches below the wound.
IL was decided at once to perform the
operation. No anesthetics were used,
but the part to be operated upon vas
bennmbed by . spray Of ether. and

which was reached at q depth Of little

SUNDAY DISPATCHES.
The Yorktown Centennial.

YORKTOWN, October l6,-Thc day has
passed very quietly. The 9Th Maryland
regiment arrived at o'clock in the morn
ing, and Immediately went into camp. The
steamer VIM. Crane, with the New Jersey
battalion about $50 strong, and Governor
Ludlow's staff on board, reached here about
s O'Clock. While marching to camp about
one mile and half, more than fifty men
dropped from the ranks on account of heat,
and were brought in by an ambulance.
Divine services were held in the pavilion in
the morning, conducted by Right Rev.
Bishop Kcane. of the diocese Of Virginia,
assisted by Archbishop Gibbons of Mary
land, and in the evening by Rev. John
Hall of New York. Both meetings were
largely attended. The Massachusetts,
troops attended by the governor and staff,
are reported as to arrive tonight. The
camps are very nicely located In selecting
them il was the aim of the committee to To-
cate the quarters of the different states on
about the same ground that was occupied
when the surrender was made 100 years
ago. General Hancock's headquarters are
said to be on the same point as that of the
headquarters of Washington. lie (Han-
cock was in camp to-day giving directions

And so on. The rule is practically with
out exception Points which are much
nearer to New Orleans than to st. Louis;
which would prefer to do business here,
and which are bound to us by ties of SYM
pathy and acquaintance are virtually forced
to trade with st. Louis instead, because the
railroads, not only by their rates but by
their management, absolutely COM
pei them to so there. At first glance, this
state of affairs impresses the New Orleans
mind as merely hostile arrangement.
animated by jealousy Of New Orleans;
bu, close inquiry reveals the fact that
St. Louis enjoys these advantages be-
cause her business men have worked
for them. They have labored to this end,
not to hurt New Orl cans, but to help st.
Louis Their interests are identified with
that city, their prosperity depends upon its
developments, and they have invested their
money and expended their eneIgies with
view of building up the business of st.
Louis. That New Orleans'interests are pre-
JUDGED in consequence is an incident: it
was not the animating motive OF the enter
prise. Naturally, ST. Louis could help her
self only by obtaining advantages over her
competitors, and ii is the fault or the mis-
fortune OF those competitors that she has
succeeded so well. We venture to say
''i"N "li ihiNhg liiNO thN lNal luIlSt III lllp
case of any of the Texas points given in the
table above, will show that the favorable
rates given to st. Louis are the result of
trade relations which that city has estab-
lished;, The same rule applies in railroads
rs in shipping-they both give better rates
70 those points from which they can Ger
tainly count on return cargoes.
The plan for New Orleans to adopt is to
stop complaining about jealousy and NAL
ice and the like, and to set about recover
ing her lost trade by legitimate commercial
means. Let us build up trade with BAL
las or San Antonio or any other Texas city,
and we will find that the cotton rates from
these places to New Orleans will be governed
accordingly. The inward trade will be
shaped after the outward trade. The rail-
roads will send their cars here on much
better terms when they are assured of get
ting loads to carry back, and New Orleans
will have no more grievances to ventilate.

Really it seems that New Orleans has
been marked out as the object ofunfrisndly
discrimination by every railroad and com
mercial combination in the country. 1t is
complimentary in one sense, this concen-
tration of effort and intention against New
Orleans. 1t would seem to imply that our
rivals fear the test of fair competition, and
are eIerting themselves to bring about con-
ditions under which such competition
would be impossible A friend of the Dem
ocrat's has just returned from trip
through Texas, and has been making in.
quries into rail rates from different points
in that State to New Orleans and st. Louis.
From the figures furnished US by hlm we
have compiled statement tabuating the
very significant information he gives, and it
will be seen that, although the distance
from any of these points to New Orleans is
less than to St. Louis, the rates in every in
stance are against us and in favor of St.
Louis. A glance over this statement will
be interesting.
