NOT AT ALL ALARMED.

New YORK, Special Telegram, March l.
Marvin Hughitt, of the Chicago & North
western railroad, said tonight that there
was no truth in the story recently printed
here that he had come East TO pre-
vent adverse legislation in regard to
land grants of the OmRha road. There
was no foundation whatever for such
a statement He is not all alarmed at the
present state OF affairs among the North
western roads, and is inclined to think that
the war new going on will not be a very
serious one.
The representatives of the roads running
west from Chicago will meet the executive
committee of the run. lines tomorrow.
The object of the meeting is to nduos the
trunk lines to pro-Tate on the PACING cut
rates At present the trunk lines are. dis
posed TO insist on an arbitrary
rate between eastern tidewauer
points and Chicago, but there is
a possibility that they nay iually decide to
cooperate with the roads of the Pacific coast
association in a reduced rate. II they de
eide to do this, then the Western roads vii
not attempt to take any of the At
lantic Underwater traffic, bit will con-
fine themselves to interior points where
the arbitrary rate is not in force.
This will throw the ulk of the Pacific coas
business on the Sunset" route and the Pa
cific Mail company, and may eventually
bring the Eastern trunk lines into the fight,
as there is talk of using the Chesapeake q
Ohio as a tidewater outlet for the Hunting
ton roads.

An association has been incorporat-
ed in Washington under the name OF
the Clerks Beneficial Leagse. 1t is
composed OF government clerks, and
its object is to assist discharged clerks
by paying to each 5000 when re-
moved. The association was formed
a year and a half ago, but was not in
corporated because OF the change in
the administration, the projectors be
ing fearful that it would not succeed
on account Of the sweeping discharges
that were expected. The present adj
ministraticn's policy has been so con-
sentative in that respect that it was
thought safe to so ahead. Each mem
her is required to pay an initiation
fee OF 50, and whenever a member is
discharged a sufficient sum to make
the 5000 is assessed upon the remain
ing members.

DR.. Pierson, Of Philadelphia, has oc-
cupied three days on subject which
be has been studying and preparing for
twenty-five yesrs-viz., Prophecy. The
prophecy, he said, Of jerusalem is found
in Matthew XIV, Mark xiii, and Luke
xxi, and is the highest peak OF pro-
phecy. From it we can prove Gods
being, moral government, general and
special providence, inspiration Of the
Word and the divinity Of Christ, etc.,
etc. DIR. Pierson is now on the subject
of the Evidences Of Christianity. A
strong missionary spirit is developing
among the boys, and at the request OF
twenty.one students DR.. Pierson de-
livered lecture on Foreigu Missions,
which was strong and spirited.
The ministers here are particularly
struck with the eagerness with which
the truths they preach are received, and
it is stated that five more thorough and
instructive Bible teachers could not be
secured in this country, and under their
instruction Mr.. Moody is realizing his
desire that the students become thor
ougbly in love with the Holy Bible.

on the evening Of the 18th set out to
rejoin his chief. BY . severe night
march be reached the Potomac ct Shop
herdstown, and on the morning Of the
10th crossed the river and rejoined Lee.
Walker followed him closely, and
reached the battlefield at about the
same time. McLaws rested for some
time near Harper's Ferry and. then
moved towards Sharpsburg, which he
did not reach until about Q o'clock on
the 18th.
OF the soldiers Of the Federal garri-
son cooped up in Hsrper's Ferry none
escaped except about 1900 cavalry
under Colonel Davis. They silently
made their way up the north bank OF
the Potomac at the foot Of Maryland
Heights during the night Of the l4th.
Next morning in their retreat they ran
foul of some Of Longstreet's trains
near Sharpsburg and did some damage.
The road by which these soldiers es-
capped was on General. McLaws's line.
Stuart bad suggested to McLaws the
propriety Of guarding it, and Jackson
had cautioned him against the danger
of the.garrison's attempting to escape
into Maryland, but McLaws, no doubt,
thought his troops on Maryland
Heights sufficiently blocked the road
at its base, and the consequence was
the escape of the Federal cavalry.
The operations at Harper's Ferry
were under Jackson's control IS the
senior officer. There was, we believe,
no disposition on the part of the Viz
giDia papers, nor Of any one else, to
make jackson the "hero Of Harper's
Ferry" to the Disagreement of any Of
his colleagues, but it probably never
occurred to any one but General Long
street that Jackson's was not the lead.
ing part in this brilliant operation.
All honor to General McLaws for what
he did, but his was not "the severer
and more important service" Credita-
BILE as was the part he played, it has
no claim, either from its intrinsic i'm
portance or from the manner in which
he discharged the duties assigned him,
to be classed with Jackson's achieve
ments on the same occasion.
We must postpone the discussion Of
the battle of Sharpsburg and Of the Of
feet Of the "lost dispatch " upon the
campaign to another time. W. A.
