RAILRROAD REWS. THE DECL ARATION OF PEACE. Tho xsilroad mon in this city are groatly ro- Jolced at the proepect of the speedy sattlemont of tha war botween the Pennsylvania snd DBatti- moro & Ohio Railronds, Thore is no doubt that the ngrecment mado in New York will bo rati- fled by the two roads to which It was reforred. The rates ou freights and passengers will bo gradually rostored to anto-bellum figuros. A radlcal chango cannot bo mado at once, as such sction would greatly disturb businees, especlally coneldering tho atill doprossed condition of trado. Besides, tho corpauies have entered into contracts which must be carried out, and rates establishod indopendent of such coniracta would bo an unfair discrimination asamongst shippers, Tho compnnios will probably awalt the coming of tho borvost and the ustural incrosas of the 1all trado boforo attempting o rovision of tarifls, ts0 procoes will thon be natural, 2 In the meanwhile poople aro taking advantago of the present low rates and Inying in a stock of cheap tickets to the East.

It is probablo, how- ever, tuat the proveut low rates will continuo for somo_time, nnd whon a rmims §s mado it will not bo to tho old flgures. Tho gen- ersl impreasion is that tho psssouger o to Now York will finslly bo soliled upou at $20 fustoad of §22 ns bufore tho war, and to other EIM“ in proportion, Tho froight rates will probably be fixed on the basls of 85 cants to Lialiimare, which would mako thio rato to Now York 40 conts.
