Maroh, march along !- Geoboe H. Bokek. A Tribute to General Mitchell. The following lines were recited by Park B onj a min, a,t the conclusion of his- new poetical lecture on “ The War,” recently delivered in New York, . We hope Mr. Benjamin will repeat his poem in this city at ah early day : My song is sung, and ended my refrain— Something of pleasure, something more of pain, Imparted may have been to those who hear My earnest words—l olose them with a tear ; A tear for him who lies in ooldaess now, Death’s solemn shadow resting on his brow; Dead ere his noble, race on earth was run; For whom his country cries—My son ! my son! Alas! that thou art shrouded from my sight, Who wast my pride, my honor, my delight! My learned astronomer, my soldier bravo, Sunk, like the setting'day-star, to thy grave. No more his eyes on earth shall read the bright And hidden mysteries of heav.nly light— No more his rapt and ardent gaze shall traoe The journeyings of the stars from place to place, And never more his sensual vision sban The comet’s wild career, the solar;plan; But those fond eyes, touched by his Saviour’s hand, No longer blind, o’er Paradise expand, And, face to face, In ecstasy explore The now unhidden beauty of that shore, Of which ho chanted with so wise a tongue, That even in Heaven such music may be sung. Green, ever green, the laure)3 that entwine, Departed chief, that sacred head of thine! For not alone to Science dear thy name, But love of Liberty embalms thy fame. Sad was tby loss, though light pervades the gloom Which, liko a pall, hangs o’er thy patriot tomb; For Mitcheli’s monument, like one divine, Shall be a freedom-consecrated shrine. .Publications Received. From T. B. Peterson, one volume, of 467 pages octavo, containing Les Miserable*, bj Victor Hngo, translated by Lascellea Wraxalt, under the author’s own appointment. So far, this is an authorized edition.. The low price (SI paper and $1 50 in cloth) will bring a host of purchasers no doubt. It.conte.ins.two portraits, with autograph, of Victor Hugo. Wo perceive that there is. a new “.Battle of the Books ” between: Mr. Pooley, of Hew, York, who publishes this translation,- and, Mr.. Carleton, 6. the sanie an original-traihslaf uon- oy Charles E: Wilbour. The latter contains the whole"s'OTypepisudeo una-aii, without any omission, its only' faults being that at times it is ’ rather too literal a translation,.and that, nanr_and then, Mr. Wilbour gives us Yankecisms, (“ feel of me,” &c.,) in his desire to be facile. Mr. Wrax aTomits afew passages—one of which, unfortunate-/ ly, is General Cambronne’s reply to his English as sailants at Waterloo, for which he could not 2nd the proper equivalents in the English language. The merits of the translations are nearly balanced: Mr, Wilbour’s is the most complete, and Mr, Wrax all’s the cheapest. Both will saU largely, and Mr. Carleton announces a new edition of his, as cheap •as that published by Mr. Pooley, now under no tice. Of the original translation,'which long pre ceded the London publication, Mr. Carleton has sold 25,000 copies. ’ A biographical notice of Victor Hugo is the appropriate preface to Mr. Wraxali’s translation of “ Les Miserables.” The Eclectic Magazine, for December, from W. B. Zieber. The portrait, engraved on steel, is a fine oharactoristio likeness of one of the liviog worthies of Philadelphia, the. Rev, Albert Barnes, equally worthy as writer and preacher. Prom the accompanying memoir, wo If am that Mr. Barnes will complete his 64 th year on next Monday) Hi a 32d year of ministry in this city was completed five months ago. There is the usual variety hero of readable articles, on many subjects, judiciously selected from the principal Brltish-periodicals. We learn that the January number will contain two engravings, and that Mr. M. H. Bid Will, editor of the Eclectic, has written tho “ Imperial Courts of Franco, England, Russia, Prussia, Sardinia, and Austria,” which will immediately bo published by C. Scribner, New York, in one volume, royal Svo , illustrated with forty-two fine engravings, by Sar tain and George E. Ferine. This will be a gift book of permanent value for all eccasiona. PERSONAL. Lieutenant L. Wise, a nephew of Governor Wise, was arrested by Colonel Shanks, In his camp, near Cal houn, By ~ some days Bince. He had come Into camp under the pretext of wishing to sell ahorse. Lettersfrom rebels conclusively proving him a spy were found upon his person. While, in prison at Owensboro’, Colonel Shanks, by keeping an eye upon him, succeeded in se curing a letter >ln cypher, written to him by Governor Wise, and addressed to the care o! Selby Loe, Wheeling. He was sent to Louisville in irons, and will be treated as a spy. The President has pardoned Brigadier General Ed win B. Price, son of Sterling Price.- He has received a foil and free pardoin, at the instance of Governor Gam ble, for all treason and other offences. Some think it will have a beneficial effect In Missouri Others say that It ismerely a device to save the Price property. While a paroled prisoner he is said to have exerted himseir against guerillas. He was finally exchanged, for Gen. Prentiss. . Gen. Helman, of Naßhville, in command on ; the Tennessee river at Fort Henry, died at Jackson,; Miss.! on Sunday. He was a Prussian by birth and a skilful officer. Gen. Meredith, of Indiana, has reported to Gen. Bnrnside. H. E.

General Grant came up the Mississippi, a few days since, to the city of Alton, where he had an lutoview with General Tuttle, the result of which has not trans pired. '" ' The court of inquiry asked for by Genera! McDowell rome time investigate Me conduct as an army offices thus far during the war, convened and was regu larly organized in Washington on Saturday. The court is .competed ot General Cadwalader as president, and Generals Martindale and Van Aten, with Colonel Louis H.

The recorder replying that he had none, was requested to make application to (he Adju tant General’s office for the charges against General Me- Dowell The court has adjourned pro tempore. —Col.

The enemy still occupy Fredericksburg, his pickets extending to the river banks : On Friisay night, after the inttrvkw of Goneral Patrick with the civil authori ties, General Stunner informed them that, if they bad any fmibrrmtnmcnlcaUon to preseot, Gener d Patrick would meet tbrm again the next morning. .Yesterday, at the Laoy House, eccorOingly, the Mayor and Oounotlr came over, accompanied by General Kershaw, Oolonel Birnd, and Captain King, of Georgia . Theeo lattor .gentlemen Claimed that tne civil authorities could make no proposi tion to ue, unless the same was approved by them.- Gen. Parrick doclined to reneivo tbree officers. Suhsegnently, howtver. General Burnside ester,ted to their reception, and tbe parties retarned. the Laoy Hooee is a targe, cleganby constructed brick building, a private residence standing upon the bluff immediately opposite Fredericks burg. THE REBEL COMMISSIONERS. At (be foot of this bluff the parties landed, and were conducted up the steps into the rear of the Lacy House and shown into a room looking to wards tbe city, thus affording them no opportunity to observe any of onr. movements, as they could not observe a single enoamp naent after leaving the hills beyond the city. EXTENSION OF TIME ASKED, The civil enthorities demanded an extension of the time allowed for.ihe removal of the women and children, aheging.that the trains had been frightened off by oar artillery, and that it would be impossible for a train to leave before night, ae it was necessary to send for it seve ral miles down, the road. The city being absolutely desciv tuie of other tat-ons of traußportation, their ruiaeat was complied with,-and the time extended nntll llo’cloak this morning. , ■ .. As this report must be sent to Aojoiu oreek at 10 o’olook to-day, in order to reach Washington in season to be teiegrapbed through to-night, tbe result will probably ba sent by the military telegraph from htadauartors. EXCITEMENT IN FALMOUTH. In Falmouth great alerm was felt, eepoclally bp the female portion of its population, many of whom left the place; and have gone into the country for safety. ; WHAT TBE REBELS ABE DOING. i Fredericksburg appears utterly deserted, and last night not alight was visible in the whole city. The oamp fires last night indicated the presence of a considerable foroa in onr front: - Since Friday, the rebels have evidently received large accessions to their forces In onr front, and there is no doubt but that Leo and Locgetreet are in our immediate 'vicinity.: ■ Buting the night tbe rebels erected earthworks along the ridge beyond the city, and their cannon have been plainly visible eince yesterday morning. Both parties have: admirable: positions for their artillery, and there will undoubtedSj be a lively artillery fight before we oah : establish our pontoon bridge and move .across the river! After tbe rebels have b/cn driven from, their present position, it is thought that they will give ua battle again along the: BSasaapobax, eight miles beyond the city; At that point the creek runs through a morass between two ranges of hills, along ono of which, it will be remem bered, the rebels established their lines.of defence last June, when Gen, McDowell was daily expected ,to ad vance. The ground at Massaponax is admirably adapted for rigorous defensive operations. They m»>, however, fall hsck at once to the junction of tho Fredericks jurg and Centra! railroads. : ‘ . : There is no. doubt hut that the rebels have availed tbimselves of thii time allowed for the removal of the Eon-combatants to carry off everything that could pos sibly be of service to them cr to us. . . .. On Friday tight loud explosions were heard beyond Fredericksburg, but thecause has not yet been asoer tained. THE RAPPAHANNOCK RISING. The river baa risen but very little sines the recent storm passed off, and the roads are rapidly drying up. FARMERS'AND OTHERS ACTING AS SPIES. The inhabitants living along the route of the military telegraph lino have already commenced cutting the wires ’to annoy and delay ns In our operations The severest punishment will be promptly administered to every per son detected in the net, and steps have been taken to bring those already guiPy to justice. The owners atid occupants of the lands fronting upon tbs line, or over which the lir e may pass, will be held responsible for that portion of it which is upon or near their premises. AFFAIRS AT ACQUIA CREEK, Acquia Cheek, Ngv. 23 —There is nothing of special importance from ti e front received here to-day.

The weather for the last few days has been most disa* greeable to us all. Without absolutely pouring rain, there bad been an unhealthy humidity in the air, which is the generator of numerous colds, coughs, and affec tions of the lungs.

General Grant occupies an nni-n viable position before the non. combative sovereigns of she North just now. When he moved his aimv from Bolivar and Oorinih, he naturally attracted pnblio attention, and raised high expectations. “Grant is moving southward—pressing the enemy co ward Vicksburg,” went tie roundß of the press. Bat the fact is, this army, to day; only occupies the ground it virtually held all summer. At no time since the evacua tion of Corinth by Beauregard have the rebels bleu en abled to hold possession of Lagrange or Grand Jnao ion.

Ihnow it to b 9 a fact that General Grant is very anxious to press forware, and I also know it to boa fact, ihat the authorities at Washington have failed,to furnish him with the promised reistoveemerits.

TRESEST POSITION OF AFFAIRS. _ .The .rebels are still reported in force at the Talla hatchie. There are remora ot another move tothosouth ward on the part of Gen. Van Dorn, but. they are gens rally discredited. If ho iaVis back, It will be to receive reinforcements from, or form a junction with, General Holmes, in command of iha Oenfederate troops in Arkan sas. There !b at present no impediment to -the crossing of the Mississippi river by the rebels below B oieaa. so that they can draw upon their Arkansas strength to what extort they please. Our forces will probably advance to Coldwater in a dagior two. Col iwatt-r is five miles this side of Holly Springs Thera will bs no advance bdyond Ooidwatcr until Gen Giant is fully prepared for offensive movements- It is twelve miles from Ho'ly Spriegs to the rebel encampment. When our forces enoamp at Cold water they will bold Holly Springs only by frequent re connoiisances, there net being a sufficiency of water in the town with which to supply even a brigade of 'troors. The citizens of this fashionable southern resort will ex perience the ravages of war to an unusual extent, while tusir metropolis cintinueß a middle ground between the contending armies' The rebels will dash in occasionally only to dash out on the approach of our cavalry. - What is left by one paity will be oarried off by the other, and thus tie town will be, as the .sating is, ; thoroughly “cleaned ont” in a short time. Every thing in the place esn be destroy ed without injury to a Bingle Unionist. THE COTTON SPECULATORS. The only excitement hereabouts, at the present wilting, is in the cotton market. Speculators are here in large numbers, and the. competition, among them is great, and usually redounds to the advantage of the seller, lathe advance of prices from day to day. Forty two cents was offered, this afternoon—a rise of two costs since yesterday. The supply in this neighborhood was quite large about a week ago,- but is now almost ex bi usted If General Grant doss not odvanoe fn a few days, I have no doubt a large ootton-buying influsnee will be brpnght to bear against him The pillar of Federal fire must stand still, according to their theory, only long enough to Permit its followers to purchase the Southern staple. Ofold, the children of Israel were led out of the land of bondage through the medinm of fire and smoke. V bey now voluntarily return to the States of servitude, preceded by the same guise. In the days of Moses, however, there was bnt little money te be made Sfeculating ; sntlershipa were not worth *2,000 a month. , . Thcee gentlemen whose ostensible avocation is cotten bnsteg, frequently indulge in other speculations, such as the sole of '‘pinchbeck” watches and tiasel jewelry. One of themyesteiSay soid a genuine mock auction soe cimen, valued at about 83, to a psor countryman for SCO. He told the purchaser it was worth “more as dwloe eo much, so helped mine Got.” They are usually well provided with counterfeit Confederate money, and not nnfreqnently have a largo stock of bogus coin on hand. Between:the cotton speculation, the confidence game, and the. spurious money, they manage to accumulate riches at a rapid rate.— Cincinnati Commercial ORGANIZATION OP GEN. GRANT’S ARSfY. liAunArtGU, Hot. 20. —1 t is commonly known thst the Department of Ihe Tennessee is at present bounded on the west by the Mississippi, east by the Tennessee, and north by the Ohio, and extends indefi litely south ward. It embraces the bulk of the national and Insur gent fprees In the West, and contains the point of the greatest et ategic value in the country. It Is commanded by Major General Ulysses 8, Grant, known to fame as the loser of Belmont; the captor of Fort Donelsr n, the victor of Shiloh, and the prompter of the bloody battle at Corinth. For the convenience of command he has dfvided the department into fonr dis tricts,, vie:. The district of (Jolnmbus—Maj Gen Davies. The distriot of Jackson—Baj Gen. Knrlbut.

" . Added to the original armies of Grant and Bosocraus is a vast accumulation ot new troops which have from time to time been drawn from Miaeouri, and the recent levies which have been concemratlng at St. Louis. COMPARATIVE STRENGTH OP ARMIES. It iB notpompetent for us to say what is the number of the forcei'Tn' the field. When the Federal troops be sieged the garrison at Corinth in May last it was esti mated that each of the combatants had on the ground about a hundred thousand men. Thiß may have been slightly excessive judgment in either ease. Since then the rebels have sent many of their forces to Virginia, to Arkansas, and to Alabama. The army “of General' Bragg—say forty thousand—reached Kentucky, where it was met again by the army of Buell of greatly supe rior numbers. The armies confronting each other then in Mississippi are less by so much as have been detached to foreign service. The army now under BAecranS is larger-th»u-»r<^o,-but -cannot be concentrated upon, one point.. Their armies In Arkansas so lately are con fronted by a force doubly large in Missouri. :' _ Some idea of the magnitude of our own resources when we give the present organization of troops for active field service in this department up to this time. Taey are being organized Into four corps de'armee, com manded by Major General Sherman, Hurlbht, McPher son, and Hamilton. Besides the numerous reinforce ments of new troops now coming forward, it is estimated that the command of General Steele and General Blunt, now far Missouri, will be despatched to Memphis. These, wiifa the supeiflactm troops now occupying garrisons, between here and the Ohio, will form an army of propor tions rarely seen in modern warfare. STRATEGICAL ATTITUDE OP THE ENEMY. The base line of operations against the enemy is-at present the line of the Memphis and Charleston road, ex tending eastward as far as luka The main body of the army is, however, concentrated in and around this point. Lagrange is really important onb as being within two milsß of Grand Junction, the intersection of the Mem phis road with the Mississippi Central Baitroad. Holly Springs may be srid to be ihe extieme limit of our tines in the direction of the enemy. , The hostile force under General Pemberton is situated aloDg the banks of the Tallahatchie river, forty miles dis tant. The. region between that stream and an inter mediate stream—the Ooldwater—is at present occupied by their cavalry, and may be considered a kind of dis puted territory, to be yielded whenever, our Infantry shall advance; until then So bs scouted over by the cavalry of either party. The hue defence is the larger river, whose banks are Bteep and bed nnfordable. It is spanned by a r tfiroad bridge and a turnpike bridge, which will, of course, be dolendedto ‘be last, Ali the fords If such they may be called when fordable for cavalry only, for twelve miles on either aide of tha railroad track, aro carefully guard ed; General van Dorn is supposed to bo the ranking officer next to Pemberton, and General Sterling Price commanding a second corps. The purport of this resistance on their part is pri marily to prevent the occupation of the soil of Missis ■ sippi, and ulteriorly the oontrol oi the Mississippi, which is blockaded by a Btroni fortification ai the Ylckibnrg bluffs In that State. The position at which the rebel arniy will be finally concentrated must be much farther South. FUTURE OPERATIONS To attack the rebels, under Pemberton, at Abbayville by marching directly on the front, via Holly Springs, must be attended with conßiderabie risk, as the enemy have undoubtedly chosen the beßt positions, and will un doubtedly contest the passage of the stream, To do this also implies that the Mississippi Central Railroad will be repaired as the army adyances—a work of considerable magnitude, as the enemy, in their retirement, would doubtless destroy so much of it as they could. There are two ways of obyiatingthese difficulties. - The enemy may be flanked by two Rood roais. On the right by using the Mobile and Ohio Bailroad down from Co rinth and beyond, Bay to Baldwin, and thenoe the forces could be marched earily across the head-waters of the Tallahatchie and Yallabusha rivers, and thereby- forcing the enemy to fall back. Or he may be taken on the left by using the Memphis and MiEsieaippi Bailroad, crossing thei Tallahatchie below Panola, and thereby practically being obliged to fight pr retire to Gland Junction. Which of these routes may be decided upon it Is perhaps prematnre to say The Indications are that the latter the method adopted, though either, or both, or all, may be used in every possible comoination. The road hence to Mem phis, filty miles, is being put: in running order. Tele graphic communication is befog restored between the twopoinss V the same time it is fair to say that the work belcw here is still being prosecuted. We still hold possession of the Mobile and Ohio road is far Bouth as Bitrzi. ■- ; , . PLocld the enemy fall back it is altogether probable tl'at the first halt will be at Grenada, on the banks of the river Yallabusha.: In which case the only feasible fleshing force is by the means of the Yazoo riyer. Jsok ton is, however, the shoulder or pivotal point where the teal protection of Vicksburg is to be made, unless sooner decided by an engagement in the field. WORK FOR ROSECRANS. 1 As a corollary to this movement on the part of Gen. Grant's forces it is to be pr< sumed that Gen. Bosecrans will keep: sharp watch upon the movements of General Bragg’s army, which at latest' accounts is moyiiig on Chattanooga. This places our forces In the same posi tion of July last, not, we trust, to result In a similar de nouement..' ... Tbe route which General Bragg must take to reinforoe Pemberton, bis easiest, though certainly a very long route, is by rail from Chattanooga to Atlanta, Georgia; thence to Montgomery, Selma, and Meridian, where he Btrlke s tbe Jackson railroad. This route, it ,is expected, could be made by twenty-five thousand men in two wet he. The little link between Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, of lets than twenty miles, was not completed up to'a recent period, but was in course of ooustrulion. This movement would leave Bosecrans master of Chatta nooga, and tbe great trunk route from the Southwest to BlchmSnd, a point of great Importance. That oii‘ce*gaiocd,.theMBlf of his army could be rushed down tlie~M it etSßipprttr'Mempbis or "Vicksburg along the road to Mobile, or concentrated with the army of Giant. We do not Indeed suppose that ajunction of the two armies, under either commander, could ha very agreeable to the oiher.'| Nor do we consideifthat any con junction of Grant andtßosecrans could be productive of grea: bsi mony after their past relations.

THE POSITION OE OtJtt AEMY. ‘ There has been hat one movement of the army from thiß point ot any interest to your readers. - Tha right wing of the army yesterday crossed tho river, and moved into camp on the southern side of the stream. General Bill was ordered into the interior a short distance, and. marched out ; the Murfreesboro road’ to the Lunaits Asylum, s-x miies from the city.: The rebel pickets were found iosted in that vicinity. They were-driven in, and a few companies of cavalry engaged in reconnoitring General Sill’s position were dispersed by a few shells. I understand General Sill Is to haTe the right wing when the army moves The position of the left wing at present iB at Lebanon, twenty miles from this place, and I team that it will re main there for eoma time to come. The centre oolntna will not be in position for a week or fortnight, though it is at hand, ready to operate in cbss of an attack. General Eoussean’s division is cue hero to morrow. WHERE ARE TUB REBELS ? This is a question it would be difficult to answer defi nitely. John Morgan has a post of observation at Baker’s Mills, ten miles south of Lebanon, and dovoiee his time to watching General Crittenden and picking up stragglers from Crittenden’s command. Forrest is en camped atLavergne and Stearns at Nollnsvilie, both en gaged in watching and waiting for an advance on Boae mna’ part. Wbelhir they ara the outposts of only Breckinridge’s force of ten thousand, or of a greater army, is not positively known, though I am told by the rebels here that Bragg is in the State with one hundred thousand men, and that he will undoubtedly take Nash ville, of which: no reasonable man has a single doubt I Breckinridge is known to have twelve regiments, and it is thought he is receiving reinforcements daily, but I da net think the rebels are going to send a very large foroa as far forward as Murfreesboro. —Cincinnati Gazette* States in Rebellion.

These roads are rival roads, and while each of them has its customers, to whom prices, being canal, it is 1 more convenient to ride by the ronte they have chosen,,there are many to whom it is entirely im material by which road they go, and of whom each road has obtained a fair share. @f such'passengers many come from Heetonville and Mantua.by the.cars of said, st questratori and hereto fore being impartial between said other two roads run ning to the Exchange by fair and equal agreement with both of them, said seane-trator, or those acting for him, so arranged that on bis cars, or those of the said com plainant, or those of the said Fairmount and Arch-street Bosd, tickets could he bought for a uniform price to take passengers from Maltha to the Exchange, or from the Exchange to Mantua, the price of which was divided in the same proportion between said sequestrator and your petitioner, or said sequestrator and said Falrmount and Arch -S'. Passenger Bailway 00. This arrangement gave great convenience to passengers and to the companies, and operated most fairly and justly in all respects. Bat within several months past the said sequsßtrator.has dis criminated between the complainant’s road and said Fair-mount and Arch-street road in a manner moat un lawlnl and,lnjurious to tbe complainant, and continues wilfully and penistehtly to do so; depriving him of large gains and receipts, to which he Is entitled. Said dis crimination is practically made and oarried out In the following manner: The said sequestrator, ar persons acting for him, or with bis permission, refuse to sal any tickets on his oars, wbich - will carry his passengers over the road of the complainant for a price less than an aggregate of the or dinary fates of the two roads, or to recognize any ticket sold by the complainant for that purpose, or, to use a phrase well understood among those accustomed to the business of such'roads, said sequestrator refuses to ex change with the complainant. Bat theAeiid sequestrator, unlawfully combining and confederating with said Fairmount and Arch-street road to injure tbe complainant, and- deprive him of the gains and profits of his said road, does exchange with the said Fairmount and Arch-Bt. road; that is to say, upon a ticket sold in the care of either road a passenger can go from Mantua to the Exchange, or from the Exchange to Mantua, for five cents, of which said sequestrator gets two cents, and said Frirmotmt and Arch-street road three «ents, by a mode of division agreed on between them.'- - ■ The result of this combination is, that ail passengers who ride in said sequestrator’s cars from Mantua to the cars of the complainant, must pay three cents, while for a distance somewhat greater, (the depot of the Fairmount and Arch-street road being a few yards farther east than that of coinplafoautjsrbad,) pas sengers who, by the purchase of an exchange ticket, com mit themselves to « continuance of their route by the . cars of said last, mentioned road, pay, in fact, bnt two, cents from Mantua to beycnS tbe bridge, and those wht> reach the eaßt of the Fairmount Bridge -by the com plainant's cars, pay three cents to get to Mantua by said sequestrator’s cars, while those v bo reach tbe same poiat by tbe osrs of the Fairmount and Arob-street road, with, snob an exchange ticket, arc enabled to go the same (•stance for two cents. - Thiß discrimination has now been going on for many weeks, and b£meana of it such manifest convenience and advantage bajgbeen unlawfully held out by said seques trator to paasengepwho go by the said" Fairmdnnt and Arch- street road that many thousand passengers* have been drawn away from the complainant’s "road,-and, the ere( itors represented by him have, as he believes, lost many thousand dollars, which have gone into the trea sury of said Fairmount and Arch- Btreet Company, The complainant then avers that he has no relief-save * * poiarfeof Equity, and; he therefore pray sfor a writ, of iDjnßcUofttq-restr&in the defendainta froa»ooh ttia cnmination aa is complaiDed of, or from making any terms or agreement with eaoh other in reference to fare* or exchange tickets whioh are not also made with come platoant, and that an aceountmay be taken of what the complainant has lost by such discrimination, and that tho defeadant may be compelled to make restitution: thereof. : , No answer has yet been filed, and no day fixed for ar gument.
