Death of Mr., Forsyth, late Minister to
Mexico,

The Louisville correspondent Of
the Gazette thus notices the death
of John Forsyth, the editor of the
Mobile (Alabama) Tribunc:
Pursuit was made by the army
in two columns-one under Gene
raj Thomas, moved by the Glasgow
and Bardstown road, and is still on
it South of Bragg; Buell., with
the rest, moved up toward Eliza
beth town, and followed the enemy
closely. Colonel Ed. McCook led
the advance, and skirmished with
the enemy three days, when the
rebels disappeared in the direction
of Bardstown, and entered the iu-
risdiction of General Thomas, who
is supposed to be driving him this
way. Colonel McCook reports
having taken six or seven hundred
prisoners, killed Colonel, Lieu
tenant Colonel, two Majors and
one Captain, besides thirty-two
privates. The Colonel killed was
Forsyth, who used to edit the Mo-
bile Register, and who was chief Of
Bragg's staff. The Lieut.. Colonel
was an Alabamian, named Brown,
in command of the rear-guard.
The Majors were staff -ofieers-one
of them named Wicks-on Har-
dee's staff. The skirmfshing of
Colonel McCook is represented by
officers who have arrived, to have
been very brilliant and skillful.

Subterranean Railroads in London.
For some years past, the railroad
companies running out of London
have been building an underground
railroad, to avoid the inconveni-
ence and obstruction of travel on
"a surface railroad in q crowded
city. On the 4th Of August, 4 triai
trip was made upon this under
ground construction, and the news
papers of London give the follow
ing brief account of it:
The engine consumes its own
smoke, and condenses its own
steam-necessary qualifications in
an underground locomotive - but
it is quite capable of fzzing and
whistling in the open air. The
train moved at the rate of twelve
miles an hour, and as it passed
along, the rumbling of wagons
overhead on the great thorough
fares of London could be distinctly
heard. There are several way
stations on the road, which COM
municate with the outer world by
means of cuttings, which are de-
scribed as miracles of engineering
skill. Passengers and baggage are
received and discharged at those
places. The fare in second class
cars for the whole. trip is 4 cents,
and the company is obliged by law
to run q train each way, at six in
the morning and six in the even
ing, for working people for two
cents fare. When Prince Napole-
on went over the line during his
visit to London, he was so pleased
with it that he gave glowing de-
scription of its advantages to the
French Emperor on his return to
Paris. The Emperor at once adopt
ed the idea, and a subterranean
3 railroad line under Paris, between
Montmaitre and the Louvre, was
. ordered forthwith, and is now in
course of construction.

Short History of the Press.

We have not the room, this week,
for any extended extracts in refer
ence to the origin and progress OF
the early newspaper press in the
West and Northwest. In our next
issue we shall give a somewhat ex'
tended account, which will prove
interesting to many of our readers,
and the "craft."
The first newspaper printed in
Nebraska made its appearance at
Bellview,on the 18th Of November,
1854. 1t was called the Nebraska
Palladium. It's advent was wit,
messed by the principal citizens of
the place. The first proof'sheets
were taken from the press by Gov.
Cumming, and were read by Chief
Justice Ferguson-andin in this man
ner the Palladium was inaugurated
into the public service.
At Vincennes, Ind, the first CO.
py of the Mirror, started in 1907,
printed in the woods, was sold al
auction for sixty-ive dollars. These
papers were purchased and paid fol
by men who intended to preserve
them as momentos Of the begin
ming of a city which they expected
to build.
The oldest paper in Kentucky is
the Western Citizen, at Paris. Il
was established in 1906, and is now
in its 57th year. The Louisville
Journal was established by Geo
D. Prentice in 1882, at Louisville
it is now in its S1st year.

1t is said that the pen is mightier
than the sword-neither is of much
value without the holder.
When a fish is wounded, other
fishes fall upon and devour him.
There's some human nature in
fishes.
The law is a pretty bird, and has
charming wings. 1t would be
quite a bird of Paradise, if it didn't
carry such a terrible bill.
A paper can publish the appoint
ments after the coming in of q
new administration; but what pa.
per is large enough to publish halt
the disappointments?

He will take no refusal. Day after

are guardedly Informed that you
are disloyal to the South; the hor'
rors of imprisonment are limited to
you; a little longer-but God for

THE CoURTEsY.-,rManners are
more important than laws. Upon
them, in q great measuse, the law
depends. The law can touch us
here, now and then. Manners are
what vex or soothe, corrupt or puf
rify, exalt or debase, barbarise or
refine, by steady, constant, uniform,
operation, like that the air we
breath in.

This body after q session of thirteen days ad-
journed Last Friday noon. Ali the members
have manifested disposition to expedite bust
ness, and probably no body ever assembled as
the capital have done so much bard work in
the same tune, as has been done by this extra
session.
The more important bills are those providing
for the pay ment Of the National tax; the Militia
~ bill; the amendments to the bill passed al
the previous session for the relief by counties Of
the families of volunteers The bill for the EN-
ploymeut of convict labor in the manufacture o.
arms for the State Of Michigan, was three time:
presented TO the House, and lost. The objec
tionab.e feature seems to have been, that by
the provisions Of the bill the State was obliged
10 contract for ] q, 900 stand Of arns, at fixed
price. Peace declared soon, might have CON-
PEELED the State to have suffered great loss.
Among the important joint resolutions, are
those recommending the establishment Of ma
val station and docs yard in the State Of Michi
gan; the location OF national armOry in the
North West; and those recommending an eI
change of prisoners of war.
In the Legislature, disposition has been
shown to avoid all needless expenditure, to
stand by the government in the present war
for the preservation of the Union, and TO sd
iourn at the earliest possible monen, consistent
with the public good. We believe the people
will endorse the action Of their representatives,
and will cordially sustain them, il all exp ndirures
made necessary by treason of sister States, as
well as the measures taken TO put the people in
position for self defense, in case Of war with
England or other European power.
