THE DAILY
effect, the whole Wane duty was paid by,
our domestic, trade, and goods started on their
journey from points beyond the limits of the
State escaped threburtien entirely, at the ex
pense of the domestic trader. Practically,
this was discrimination against home trade
and production. It produced what la histori
cally known to have been a fact. Goods were
carried by the defendants over their road and
its connections from points far h
ei r
burgh to Philadelphia for miller prices than
were required to be paid for thetransportation
of similar goods from Pittsburgh to the same
point of delivery. Thus the extra territorial
trade had en immense advantage over the
domestic, and oar own traders and clarets
were taxed to give to others an advantage in
°arena market.. Ail this was before the mind
of the Legislature when the commutation art
was passed, and one of its main purposes
was to provide a remedy for this prettiest die
oriminaticat against our own trade and people.
This L plainly evidenced in the preamble to
the statute, which recites that the tonnage
tax fell "Indirectly on Hoer, grain, cattle,
Iron, minerals, and other domestic products
transitorted .on ape lino of Improvements,"
while similar products transported on other
lines were exempt from the same, "to the in -
rury *four internal trade and commerce," and
ecites, also, that the defendants agreed to
"make reduction for the transportation of
'local bade.'" Hence the second section of
the act required the defendants to Make re
daction of their charges for transportation of
local freight, as fixed by their toll sheet of.
February Ist; 1861, equal to the tonnage duty
chargeable upon each freight. It fixed, also,
a maximum rate of charges thereon. It care,
fallyavoided prescribing any regulation chair.
es for that which was not "local freight,"
leaving that to be determined by competi
tion and the general laws of trade. To say that
the, prescribed redudion of the rates upon ono
kind of freight inured for the bonedt of all
kinds; requires us to rose eight of the avow
ed purpose - of the act, and of the•distinction
which It makes betwoeu rates of freight from
Pittsbirgh eastward and rates from points
west of Pittsburgh. .
What, Uteri, is local freiglit,us understood
and intended by the Legislature In the rem- I
mutation Aar r The answer lanotquite plain
at Mat sight, per a careful examination of the
second section. will leave no doubt in what
sense the term was used. It was freight, the
charges, of transportation of which were fixed
by the tali sheet of Foblearyl, 186i,0n all
trade carried between Philadelphisand Pitts
burgh, whether carded the entiredistithee, or
to an intermediate station, or, batiste:tinter
mediate stations. Thus the company, WSJ re
quiredto.reduce their charges for transporta
tion of their' loeal freight, ea flied by their
toil-sheet. The eat then proceeds ti declare

sheet of their rates of charges for•the traria
portation of local freight, accompanied bY
statement of the redaction 'to be made in pni
seance of the act." If " lead frelght"meene
simply that which is carried oittionly apart of
the road, then no redaction was preseribedfor
shippers from Pittsburgh to Thltridelpitia,
though the company was retiree& hob the
paymentt of a tonnage duty en. thagoods for
warded by them. I think, therefore,it must
be conceded that other freight than or which
panes ever only a part of-the Mad b trudged
to the required reduction,' Yet iris clear that
the act makes • distinellee.between that
which is " local freight"; and that which is
not; and I think we should overlook the pur
pose of the Legislature, ito manifest in the
preamble, and we should• - forget the mitichief
latitude:llo be remedied, If we held the! all
'eight was local which does not acme upon
tha,defandaite'readover connecting Western
lines, andnovered by through bills of lading.
What needed protection"and relief were our
intermiltrade and domestio predicts. :
• Shippers of flour and grained, commenced
their transit in other Slams tow/mina Tistaii
market, whether doming to Pittsburghty rail
or by steamboat, were not the 'sufferers nadir
the oldrates of charges.. They ware not within
the mischief, and no remedy could have been
intended for them. They had in advantage
which oar domestic , trader and producer did
not enjoy. And this explains what was %about
by "local freight." It was aoi simply what
was awned by citizens of Pennsylvania,. not
exilic/bay domestic products even, though
they , treee dont:den hirgelyin the minder the
Legislature) but articles . transported in the
prosecution Of our own internal traipse con
trasted wiftilhoso brought from abroad Into
the State, or carried through by a continuous
merit. The latter is not' heal, and no pro
vision wax =Oslor any rate of charge for Its
transportation. To • the latter class the Sour
end grain of the plaintiffs belonged, and they,
were consequentlyneCantitled to the mac-
tion required to be made upon local freight.
. It is natal, necessary to say there's nothing
in the Constitution of the United States that
prohibits a discrimination between lo'cal
freight and that which is extra-territorial,
when . it - commences its transit. _ Such a die
' crimination denies to no citizen of another
State say privilege or immunity which it ddes
not deny to our own OitizOne. We have al
ready roan it is not a personal distinction.

Petrlotlani of Our Sufferer".
•
Mr. Wilde. from the Committee on the Con
duct of the War, 16 the Sedate, and hir.
Goobh, in the House, on Monday submitted •
a report upon the oondition. of the returned
prisoners at Annapolis. From 611 examination
made at the request of the Secretary of War,
it is proved beyond all doubt, In the estima
tion of the Committee, that the rebel autho
rities have determined to subject our soldiers
and officers who fall into their bands to physi
cal and mental suffering Impossible to des
cribe, many presenting now the appearance
of tieing skeletons, literally little more than
skin and bones, some maimed fer life, and
some fresen by lying without tont or cover-
Teem the bare ground at Belle Isle.
The general practice is shown to be the [
robbery of prisoners, - So soon •es taken, of all
money, Talusbfes, and good clothing. The,
food allowed was totally insufficient to pre . - 1
serie•the health of a child. Itboritisted
ally of two pieces of bread made of oorn and
cob meal, badly cooked, with about two
ounces of meat, unfit to eat, and occuionally
a few black, worm-eaten bones.
They were Obliged to sell clothing received
from home to buy food to sustain life. ThoSe
in the hosiltelaarere little better fed. Worn
and neglected wounds remained for days eq.,
dressed. One witness, when asked if he wad
hungry, replied: o f Hungry f• , I could ant
anything in the world that came before me."
They were submitted to =merciful treatment
from those in charge of them..._ They were
shot and killed' for violating ru les of which'
they had no knowledge. Li .
Wiles:ahoy arrived at Anailiolis their cloth
ing was so filled with vermin east Ithad to be
destroyed, and repeated. washings failed to
relieve their heads and 'bodies of the pests.
They are now dying daily, &imbibe physician'
in charge entertain no doubt that, their eine
cittion andlusth are [directig caused by the
brutal and merciless treatment received while
prisoners of 'RV.
The testimony shows that the treatment re
ceived at Columbia and Belton was tar more
humane than at Richmond. '
The Committee cannot resist the conclusion
tfiat.'•llLese inhume practices are the results
of a determinatin on file part of the rebel
authorities to reduce our soldiers by priva
tions end exposure to such a condition that
they wilt never be able to render effective
ureic° in the field Z—the result like the mes
eacr• of Fort Finale of •predetormined policy.
They deem It eeident that the Rebel news
paper statements, claiming. for the prisoners
the same treatment received by their own
Soldiers, are 'glaring and unblushing false
hoods; and say no one can for a moment bo
deceived by such statements, who will reflect
flat our soldiers, who, when taken pitmen,
rani stout, healthy moo In the prime and
Tiger of life, but they have died by hundreds
under the treatment they have received.
Although required to perform no duties of
camp or marsh, while the rebel soldiers are
able to make long and rapid marches and to
offer stubborn resistance In the tea, they re
fer with pride and satisfaction to the unpom
plaitting fortitude and undiminished patriot
ism eihitited by our brave min under all
their privations, even in the hour of death.
The Chaplain says: .
There is =witted . thing I would wish to state.
All the men, without any exception, among
the thousands that have come to thishoopital,
have never; in a single Instance,. expressed a
regret, notwithstending the privations and
suffering they have endured, that they en
tered their country'. service. They have
been the most loyal, devoted, and earnest
men, even on the lest days of their lives.
They have said that all they hoped for was
just to live and enter the ranks again and
meet their foes. It B a most glorious retard
to reletiotr to the devotion of ear men to their
[country. Ido net think their pet:Heti= has
ever been equaled In 'the hittory .of the
'world."
In leaving his defensive works on Wednes
day last, almost ,simultaneously with the
arming of the Itapidan.by.our army, and in
bin energetic assault upon our lines on Thurs
day and Friday, nays the New York Hess,
Lee exhibited a confidence that has terribly
foiled to justify itself Ho . failed to break our
loft, failed to pierce our centre, failed to turn:
our right, failed to separate our corpe,
to flank us on either wing. Ile succeeded only'!
in.'s:taking foilsmen, and id putting a large
number of his own man and of ours hors do
combat. Failing in the field, he attempted to
Boomed in retreat; but bow far he has been
!successful, is yet to be learned.
'lt looks very much ea If Grant meant to
make this minas a determined one, though
he cannot mike it a simple or an easy one.
It la anew thing for the Army of the Potomac
to follow up &defeated enemy, but we believe
it le a thing the Army of the Potomac monde. ,
It is very !likely that Ltewill now move by
bin right to head our army, and fall back,
!step by step, to the North Anna river, behind
which ho can make a bold. stand, if his rear
be kept 'clear by the force about the rebel
capital. It is possible that our army, 'act -
ing by its left, could, by forced marches,
reach the railroad at the same time, and push
along it too rapidly for the enemy to do It
much' damage.
Evitdemtly the contest *anon be for the
possession of the Central liallroad—that al
most vital line with the rebels. The river in
its front gives the enemy en advantage thee
will enable them to make a bold stand, but it
is to bo hoped that our heavy force of artillery
may bo able to drive them from the river,
however determined they, may be to cling to
its high bank. Time Is the great thing now.
If ,Loo can gain time to throw up batteries
ani connect them with linen of rifle-pits, that
will bee° much agaLturtus ; but ' , goner, glad
to see that Grant means to give Mitt no time.
There is bat one thing to be apprehended,
and that is the heavy force of rebel cavalry.
But Gen. Sheridan will doubtless watch closely

&a, to., aro.
VirIBEIINGT - 31, May 10.—The Army of 'the
Potomac had • portion of the day to recuper
ate. Burnside, on Monday, bogan an attack
on the left with great fury and with an en •
couraging degree of "success. He bad a fight
the day before,in wrath, to me his own words,
"We whipped old Longstreet." Our army
could not be Ina more cheerful condition. All
the men ore sanguine of success, and count
the days when they shall enter the rebel cap-
ital.
Gen. Lee has Issued an order In relation to
supplies, in which he said that communica
tion with Richmond was eat off, and it was
Impossible to furnish men and stores. Hill's
vorps had no rations inured for three days.
Lee enjoins upon his men the necessity of
capturing supplies fpom the Yankees. 'Up to
this moment they have failed to capture a
single wagon.
The roads are in excellent traveling order,
but vary dusty.
All the battles Gras far have been a series
of attacks and repulses. Musketry has *lto
gather been used, the swampy nature of the
ground rendering artillery impracticable.
Gen. Leo very absurdly claims a victory,
when he Withdrew from our front and retired
towards Richmond.
Gen. Tarbou's division of cavalry whipped;
the rebel cavalry near this place,and drove'
them from Spottsylvania, but. beig reinfor
ced with infantry, they drove our cavalry a
short distance. The Maryland Brigade of
the 4th division ' 6th corps, coming to their
support the fight ing was exceedingly fierce.
Gen. Tarbott and lien. Robinson were both
wounded.
Gen. Sedgwiek was shot through the head
on Monday, while superintending the moving
of some heavy guns en an angle the men just
prepared. There was no skirmishing at the
time, but an occasional sharpshooter sent a
bullet to that direction.
Our forces do rokocoupy the latter place,
but are within several miles of it
Wsenzawroe, May 11.—All was quiet along
the lines until late Monday evening, when it
was thought the rebels were falling back, or
that Lee had already gone to Richmond, to
meet Smith, who was reported close to there.
Therefore a move was determined on, and at
Eve p. m. the entire tine moved forward. The
right erased a branch of the Po and drove •
light battery off, posted to defend a smell
bridge. Warren's front and Hancock*. left
had lively engagements with the rebels, wk.;
threw shot and shell from a battery In the
woods. The enemy were finally driven back
about three quarters of a mile, and at dart
the firing awned. It is believed that Long
street's corps was the only one In our front,
and that he was left to impede oar progress,
whilo.Lee was attending to Smith.
A rebel Cavalry brigade is reported 'having
been seen an the North side of thorium Rap
idan on Monday, near Fredericksburg.
The World's special dispatalas say that
Lee's entire army ',anon Monday on the
south side of the Mod) riven between that
and the river Po. His right stretched near
ly to the Fredriaksbutg and Richmond rail
road, which he seemed desirous of reaching
to obtain supplies or insure his safety.
We have taken more prisoners in Lee's re.
' treat than during Thursday's and Fkidayl
battles. All information in Grant's posed'.
don is of the most favorable eharaoter, show.
lug clearly Lee's retreat beyond Spottsyl
yards.
WAIRIZOTOS, May. /14—.T0 Gee. Dire A
dispatch reeeived.from the Army of the Poto
mac at p. yesterday, says both armies
held their position of Spottsylvants, without
maternal change. The enemy hs l t been driven,
to their bremtworks. The Oth corps ander
Gen. Wright had carried the-first line of the
enemy . ' rifle-pits. There was heavy skirmish
