Macon Telegraph: If farmers, mer

resentatives of other business inter
ests are entitled to whatever profits
the enterprise in which they are en
gaged can be made to pay, wherein
consists the justice of outside inter
ference, to cut down the profits of the
railroad business to the lowest living
margin? The war upon railroads is
improper as a matter of policy and
indefensible as a matter of right.
The Reading company's rail mill,

they could bo made for $35. It has
been proven that the Southern iron'
milla can make iron at a much less
figure than Northern mills, even in
'the most favored localities,', and this
doubUesshas been the! cause of the
suspension of more than one mill in

Ph ladelphi a, Jan. 2.-The secre

Association in a review of the year's
trade estimates the shrinkage in price
or number 1 anthracite foundry pig
iron at $4 per ton, steel rails at $6 per
ton, bar iron at four cents per pound
and nails at $1 per keg. The secre
tary says: ' It w ill be seen that the
decline has been very serious, much
more serious than is generally sup
p sed. It would seem that prices
cannot go any lower than they now
are, and this theory would appear to
be sustained by the fact that owners
of furnaces, rolling mills and steel
works on every hand have put out
their fires because the future offered
no hope of their realizing living
profits.

; The March of Progress,
Philadelphia Time '
On the 24th of December, 1814, the
treaty of peace that closed the War
of 1812 with England, was signed at
Ghent by the English and American
Commissioners; but the hostile arm
ies were in the field far across the
sea from Ghent, and it required many
days to carry to the euemies facing
each other behind shotted guns, the
news that they were, again friends.
On the 8th of January, 1815, a full
fortnight after the treaty of peace
was signed, the battle of New Orleans
J,he most bloody and decisive of the
war was fought by Generals Pack
en ham and Jackson. It was fought
when the warring nations had made
peace two weeks before; but news
then tarried as wind and wave buffet
ed the sailing vessels of that day, and
Packenham gave his life as an offer
ing to a war that had been ended by
treaty, and Jackson was made Presi
dent by the battle that should never
have been fought.
The march of progress since the
last war with England, was very
pointedly exemplified in the Times of
yesterday. O'Donneh, condemned
for the murder of Carey the inform
er, whose case attracted world-wide
mteiest, was executed at 8:02 yester
day morning, and at 5 o'clock of the
same morning, or thr e hours earlier,
by American time, than the hour of
execution, an account of it was pub
lished in these colums and ready for
delivery to readers. In the mean
time, the report had to be made up in
London, cabled to New York, tele
graphed to Philadelphia, carefully
edited, set up and stereotyped, but
but all that was done and the report
of the execution read three hours be
fore the London hour of death.
