CHATTER 111. We went over to young Harman s law office last Friday aud borrowed his copy of (sbakespeare until Saturday, iu order to have a quotation from Cardinal Wolsey on the fail of greatness ready at hand so soon us wc heard of the change. But as the change has not yet been officially an uounced, we haven’t returned the book. But this tt the quotation we iuteuded to give la case he did have to give way to Belcher: So farewell to the little good you bear me. Farewell, s long farewell to all my greatness ! This Is the state of man: to day he puts forth The leader leaves of hope; to morrow blue And bear* hit blushing honors thick upon him; The third day cornea a front, a killing frost; And—when he thinks, good easy man. full surely Ills greatness la a ripening—nips hla root. And then he fella, as I do. 1 have ventured, LAW little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This manv WMWI In theses of glory; But far beyond my depth: my nleh blown pride At length brokeunder me; and now has left me Weary and old with aorviea, u> tho mercy Of a rudo stream, that must forever hide me.

O, how wretched la that poor mas that hangs os princes’ favors’ There la betwixt that smile we would aspire to Hart tweet sat wot of priori*, and their ruin.

Louis March 27.—'The Democrat's Peorin, I'll . special says the fanners of that section are organising for a war on Him railroads A meeting was held there hi day. at which resolutions were adopted declining that they intended to prosecute the war on the railroad corporations until the farmer's tights were recognized and respected A permanent organization was effected, and n feeling of earnest determi nation was manifested. Thus reads a dispatch to the Western Press. To one iniated into every intri cacy of commerce it will excite no sur prise. To those among us who are paying one/ dollar per bushel for corn and ten cents per pound for bacon there may be a mystery which needs explanation. The writer, a native of the South, but often visiting and sojourning among tho far mers of the North-West, would say that lie never saw a pooler class of laborers thau they for the opportunities they natu rally possess. They have a soil which almost invariably produces forty or tifly bushels of corn per acre, with wheat, oats, barley, bay and so on, in proportion. Any calculation made upon the reward of the producer, tmsed upon the price paid for these in Macon is ss Inlse as a politicians, vendica tiou of himself Take a bushel of corn for iustance ami tiaee it back. We find that Win Ward of Noble county, Illinois, raised it lie sold it to a speculator for 15 cents in the field. The speculator paid 2 cents for gathering, 2 for shelling, 8 for sacks to put it iu, 1 cent for hauling to depot, and ten cents to his railroad for carrying it to his Louisville commission house. The drayage and commissions, storage, tux, rutage, lossage, wharfage and elevalorsge runs the price up to at least five cents per bushel more. The price of the corn now stands 4d cents per bushel. A merchant, in Mucon telegraphs for it. It arrives with railroad charges from Louis ville to Macon amounting to 44 cents per bushel, making the net cost 87 cents. The Mucon merchant Is therefore obliged to sell it for ‘JS cents to $1 in order to make bis expenses and u living. Bacon, bay and all other species of Western produce merchandise can thus easily be traced back to these farmers of I’eoria, Illinois, with a like result. In passing among them we have always found them poor in purse, seedy in cloth ing, that dependant look on tho counte nance ulwsys portrayed in a man who has no money. Tho little, fussy, consequential conductor of the lightning express train, with its well dressed people on board, springs from the platform of the stations of the fanners, gives them a look of con temp, and if one should get upon his train ho is treated with a cavalicrisli air truly refreshing, when the thought comes up that he is only the stream of the source. An essay could well be written here with plenty of Bpice and moralistic deduc tions. But the plain truth is the prosper ity of the Northwest is superficial. It be longs to railroads and railroad combiua natious. They allow the farmers to make just enough to keep soul aud body together, following exactly the same plan aud the same theory of the Southern master of Africans before the war, according to what these virulent abolitionists used to say about us. It would lie a good joke for the South to start s society for their emancipation. (Jeoriria State News. The meuingitls Is raging in Cedar Town.
