subtcrramenm Railroads.

The Eng ish papers give an account
of a trial trip upon the London Subterra.
mean Railroad, on the 4th of August. The
engine consumes its own smoke inl
condenses its own steam--necessary
qualifications in an underground locomo.

and whistling in the open air. The cars
are longer wider and higher than those
in ordinary use and are liz with gas from
a rece?ticle in the roof, which is filed
at either termini Of the railroad. The
train moved at the rate Of twelve miles
an hour, and, as il passed along, the
rumbling OF wagons over head on the
great thoroughfares of London could be
distinctly heard. There are several way
stations on the road, which communica.
ted with the outer world by means of
cuttings, which are described as miracles
of engineering skill. Passengers and
baggage arc received and discharged at
those places. The fare in second class
cars Tor the whole trip is four cents, and
the company 10 obliged by law to run a
train each way, at six in the morning
and six in the evening, for working peo-
pie for two cents fare. When Prince
Napoleon went over the line during his
visit to London, he was so pleased with

TIlE COUNTY TICKET.

The Convention, on Saturday, to nom
mate Union County Ticket, was well
attended considering the little interes,
that Is now felt in such matters. Entire
harmony and good feeling prevailed.
The ticket put in nomination, and
which will b. found at the head of this
paper, !. an unusually strong one. With
all due respect for other competitors, We
will say that no better men for the dif-
ferent positions than those selected could
be found in Seneca County. They are
the right men in The righi piaees--men of
woll-known capacity and tried integrity
and patriotism. They are all Union men
without an "ir' or "but." It only re-
mains now to elect this ticket and It can
be done ii all will do their duty. The
Union against partyis he issue.

DR.. A. A. c. Williams, Of the lst New
York Artillery, who wss taken prisoner
at Warrenton Junction on the 29th Of
March, 1851, by Lieut.. Col. Lee Of the
LIST Virginia Cavalry, informs us that af.
ter his capture and during his imprison-
ment he was dropped from the rolls bv
Of Gen. Sumner because
Il was alleged that he was beyond tho
lines and forging without authority a,
the time he was taken by the rebels. An
investigation into the affair showed plain
ly that DR.. Williams was in reality with
in the limits Of the lines, and acting un-
der authority st the time he was taken;
consequently he was Immediately restor.

the same room with Col. Corcoran, Col.
Wilcox, and seventy other officers.
Above them was room occupied by
over 400 of our Union prisoners. On
the occasion the water-pipe burst, and
for several days the officers were exposed
to the filth flowing from it. The rebel
guards used occasionally to amuse them
selves by kindling fires in the room, and
burning rags, straws aud paper, to annoy

upon secesh friend of hers, and in the
course Of the call was forced TO listen to
a great deal Of treason, rather than COM
nit breach Of manners. On rising TO

splendid portrait Of George Washington; !;
when getting into eonyesation on the
subject, the she rebel, to still further
taunt her union visitor, remarked:
