The Senate refused to concur, and called lor a committee of confeience from the two Houses to set tle the amendments proposed.! ; The Revenue bill pased its second reading, after several amendments. The tax upon foreign insurance companies being again considered by the Senate, in consequence of a mistake in the engrossing on the part of the House, and two per cent, ordered to be imposed by ihe State upon all charges for premiums obtained in the State, and forbidding the counties chargingt more .than 900 per cent, upon the same. This amend T&eat 'awaita the concmrence of the House. : The Amnesty bill was again on yes terday the main feature of the proceed ings of the House. The bill was further amended before it passed its third read ing as will be seen by a reference to the reporter's column. . t , In the hasty and necessarily imperfect sketch of the remarks of Mr. McGehee on Amnesty, reported on yesterday, the following passage occurs : "lie mentioned some of the vindictive expressions that had fallen from the lips of Judge Tourgee, and drew a paralel between that officer and the bloody Jude Jeffreys." It should have read thus : "He quoted thelanguage used by the Judge of the Seventh Judicial District, "that he intended to give Orange county Jidl." and said that no Daralel to such language by any judicial officer could be found, unless in o ne of the expressions which, from time to time, fell from the drunken and bloody Jeffreys. He , insisted that the vindictive passions displayed Dy me Judge, before whom most of these cases would be tried, constituted a powertul argument for Amnesty. :;-' ',r 1 Cosclumon,' Arrived At. -We tfear we shall have no other Fair at Raleigh, as the subscriptions are coming in with snowness such as to aisnearien an whd take ari interest m such matters.

We learn that the child is badly burnt about the ancles, and .that the mother received some severe burns about the thigh and face, but that nothing very serious .is apr prebended. The escape from the hf rib'e death was a narrow one, and this warning to handle combustible fluids more .carefully " should not pass m heeded.

There i s troubles & thd 1 extremities.-- New Jersey is in revolt. When she ae quiesces in the policy : of ; leasing her railways to an alien corporation, it was thought she had made sacrifice enough It 'was putting -withes on her limbs Bui; now, when the hard taskmaster seeks to change those withes for fetters, natur ally enough her latent spirit revolts, and she is not disposed, without a struggle to resign tor all time her right to legis late for herself. - This- is precisely jvhat Company, which in Virginia; for Its own hporposes, is urging a tree, railroad law, art conteti Commen CL'uiciit m? iciiTcii -nruuuui luiLiter Ttieastiugglc"fn Virginia la is of rn- other kind... .Broken as, ;mav ilje the spirit of that great 'Commonwealth, as oue tit i tb e. co nfederated . sovereign ties, it livery clear, among her, people, there is a good'deal left of ancient hdelity to themselves; v nen ; tne .' rennsy ivania dqdpolists first;' went, across" the micwuh Uidi ostrutaUo 'W1 g P.? mi tneiv . ostrutatious tender oi aid Virginia eftorsinber 1 UDuroKurauiauun. ous wu crate u . . s - . inn1! nf ritiiriT chA niri nut no-rica i.-t r j scrptinizb secret'mbUvei of to spy new ruin in the distance.

Of course, it was not long before the fatal power of its clutch was felt.asone by one, these subsidized corporations found their credit impaired and their stock depreciated. They- Wereno exception to the universal rule, that whatever it touches it destroys. Late, but at last, the spirit of Virginia is aroused; and her citizens, still load of their homes, and devoted, as we have said, to local inerest8vrealiie the fact that, this alien corporation nas notning in common with them, but that every local Interest is to be sacrificed to huge through lines and high local freights. As One of their newspapers the other day said, Virgin ia migbtas wctl. be tttuoeltedw as have such lines of travel over her surface. For this awakening-result, great credit is due to the enter prize and moral cour age of the Direction of two railway companies, puiely - Virginian the "At- taniic, Mississippi ana unio," ana me Richmond and Fredericksburg" com panies. ueo. Mahone made a gaiiant tight for Upper Virginia, and won it. The brunt of the' struggle has, how ever, laiien on tue lticnmoua ana Fredericksburg Company," which has firmly resisted all attempts at cajolement or intimidation. It is the only check on the rapacity of the monopolist in East ern Virginia. The effect isjt bat its credit is not affected, its stock not depreciated. and that confidence is ungrudgingly reposed in its able and honest adminis- I tration. But for it the Pennsylvania I monopoly would have an unbroken line, via Harrisburg.or Columbia, from Je.sey City to Atlanta. Poor Phila lelphia reduced to a way station, counts for nothing! Nor does this Company, in thus maintaining its integrity, refuse sullenly to enter into business relations I by which free travel and through traffic can be promoted. But it prefers, to re ceive from the . monopoly a rateable share of freight, payable at short intervals, and m cash, to, ques tionable guaranties and promises of rent w hich may ! or may not be kept. . If ,: the Penn sylvania Company want to buy and have the means to pay, this con tuma. cious . corporation would probably be willing to sell ; but to lease or be leased it positively refuses. It does not trust the lessee, especially when tor some rea son he is not willing, except as a sort of surety, to become party to the contract. Tf liia rtn faith in ir-li HfrKi 1 i n-' twin sister, the "Southern Security Company." - It chooses to -deal with principals. If Mr. Astor.x or Mr. A. T. Stewart, or any one of our real estate proprietors, were to be applied to by a prospective tenant, and told that the lease was to be made in auother person's name a head-servant for instance we may be very sure he would decline the arrangement. So. here, it may be as-. sumed, and this the Virginians have the sagacity to- see, that these ancillary, concentric corporations are perse, fraud ulent, destructive to the greater corpo ration ou which they are fastened, and a patent device to cheat the innocent and credulous public. Thus then stands thc'railway war at present. New Tori Tribune, 24A. TO MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLA- JL , TURE.
