\ paragraph IN the foreign news BY
the Arabia says that the Lo don "Pneu.
u.stic Dispatch Company" has com.
menced forwarding nail-bags through it's
underground tubes. This enterprise is
novel. The pneumatic tubes which have
been laid by the company extend from the
Eas.on Railway station to the Northwest
ern District postofice In Evorsbolt street,
London, a distance Of only one.third of .
mile, but sufficient for experimental
purposes. Tie tube resembles an clip
teal gas main, thirty three inches wide,
and Laird in nine feet lengths, at an aver
age depth az rine feet b. low the street
level. The joints are filled with lead 10
az 10 be perfectly air-,ight. Within this
tube ruus q wrought.iron car. eight feet
long, weighing eight cwt. and fitted with
four wheels, each twenty inches in diam
cter. At each end of the tube is hollow
iron wheel working 10 air-tiyht box Of
twenty one feet in diameter, which 10 con-
nected with steam engine Of seventeen
horse power. The wheel turns At a We
locity of seventy to ninety miles an hour,
when the air which 10 drawn through its
hollow centre is thrown of from its peri
phery with n force that gives pressure of
FROM five TO seven ounces on the square
incn. The iron cars in the tube present
surface OF nearly Eve square feet to the
blast, and are propelled at the ratio Of 80
mile an hour.
The entire cost of line OF FIVE miles is
estimated at fl3l 900. aud it is proposed
to carry freight as well as mail through
London, at the cheap rate of penny @
cents) ton per mile. So far the exper-
iment is successful and the results are
very interesting and curious.-[N. Y.

New York, November l0th.-A late At
lanta (Georsia) Intelligencer says: Moves
are being made that must decide which OF the
combatants will hold Tennessee. Many days
will not elapsc before another terrible battle
takes place. For some days Buckner, with
a large force. has been steadily moving to-
word Knoxville, his force being sufficiently
strong to remove all apprehension OF danger.
The Augusta lGa.) Constitutionalist says
the Confederates occupy London, East Ten:
nessee. and that their advance under Steven
son has reached Concord fifteen miles from
Knoxville.
The Charleston Mercury of November I'd
saws: A shrewd game is now being played

the vicinity of Sand Mountain, taking prob
ably nearly the same route that Rosecrans
took when Bragg fell back.
A telegram dated Selma Ala October

many of our citizens do not appreciate
as they should the Importance of this
institution. In the first place, the opin-
ion obtains with many that it is an ex-
pense to the State. This is so far from
the truth that the State charges 1t for
administering its affairs. The Uni
versity Fund is grant from the Uni
ted States, which cannot be diverted
to any other purpose; and it would be
much wiser policy to assist it in its
efforts to supply the youth of the State
with the means of obtaining a liberal
education, than to cripple it and i'm
pair its usefulness forever, as this meas
ure, if consummated, certainly must !;
and this, too, only for the benefit Of a
very limited number of citizens, as the
friends of the measure must admit
There is no institution in the State, or
perhaps il the West, which offers the
inducements which our State Universe
ty holds out to young man desiring
to obtain an education, and it has the
additional advantage of being the ora
Gle of no sect OF creed. Why do not
more of the Pinery boys seek its halls :?

LATEST NEws.--A despatch from
Memphis, dated the 21st, says that adj
vices from Vicksburg state that active
hostilities commenced on the 1Sth. The
mortar boats were towed into position
above the city and opened brisk fire,
with what effect is unknown. Three
confederate batteries responded. Oul
position was soon found to be too much
exposed, and was changed, when the
bombardment recommended.
A dispatch from Washington last
Monday states, cit is understood that
as soon as the conscription bill shall
have passed the House, there will be a
call made for 100000 or 0O,O0O."-
We are fearful that this will prove a
mistake.

Western Wisconsin in Congress.

Under the above caption, the La
Crosse Republican talks thus truly:
Western Wisconsin, which is Repub-
lican to the back bone, and saves the
State from Democratic rule, has not
been represented in either branch of
Congress during the present session.
Both of the Senators reside, when at
home, on the Lake shore. The Con-
gressmen or Representatives elect fir ON
the three eastern Districts Of the State
of Wisconsin, to the next Congress, are
Democrats of the draft-resisting stripe.
Gen. McIndoe goes to W Washington to
represent in the great National Legis-
lature the interests and wishes of one
third of the population Of the state.-
He has the honor of representing a dis
trict in which Uolat7ateers were raised
for the war. He represents the largest,
most populous and loyal district in tie
United States. He represents an in
dustrious, intelligent and thrifty popu-
lation of freemen, who will stand by
their representative in the support Of
every measure which has for its object
the restoration of the Republic from
tie grasp Of traitors to the guidance Of
men who are patriotic and loyal. The
days of long winded speeches have
gone by for a while; and the people
demand at the hands Of their Legisla-
tors less "gab'' and more action. In
Gen. McIndoe the people Of Western
Wisconsin have Representative who,
by business habits and executive abili-
ty, is qualified for a hard worker He
understands the value of time, and the
Importance of devoting it to some good
purpose. The Congressional Globe will
not be freighted with his speeches, but
it will bear the record Of his manly
votes. He brings to the discharge of
his duties the ripe experience of man
who has an extensive political and busi-
ness acquaintance throughout the North
west; the energy and vigor Of a health
full body ana sound mind; the indom-
liable spirit and unconquerable purpose
of the Scotchman, blended with the
enterprise and progression of the olive
man. of the West. Although engaged
in large numbering business on the
Wisconsin River, and not seeking pub
lie office of any kind, he has long ex-
ercised a potent influence in political
circles, while his counsel and aid have
been sought by all men who aspired to
position in the State. The people OF
his District have been fortunate in
placing in Congress such man. Wes-
tern Wisconsin has, in former years,
been represented in Congress by a
staunch and faithful Representative, in
the person Of Gen. Washb urne and
we feel confident that Gen. McIndoe
will command the respect and conf
dence of his loyal associates in Con
gress, as they become acquainted with
his integrity, capacity and soundness.

From our Madison Correspondent.
Madison, Wis, Feb. 22d, 1868.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 22d, 1868.
DEAR JACK :-Writing the above
date is pleasantly suggestive Of the
fact that winter has but few more
days to live. Itwould add to the pleas
ure somewhat if we could be assured
that the legislature would subside with
winter and not persist in " lingering in
the lap of springn' The people have
a right to insist upon one thing at least
that when it does consent to termi-
mate It's career Of usefulness and glory,
the death scene shall be performed but
oncc,-not three times, as was the case
of its tenacious predecessor.
Mr.. Power, of Ozaukee, has intro
duced resolution into the Assembly
for memorial to Congress for the i'm
mediate release of the Ozaullee rioters
The proposition is worthy of SO potent
4 champion of jeff Davis as its author.
Far better would it be, and far more
in accordance with Law, Justice and
Humanity, to open the doors of our
States prison and let similar number
of its most guilty inmates so Free
Your correspondent will allow no one
to surpass him in appreciation Of those
foreigners who come to this country
and become good citizens, gratefully
appreciatlve of the benefits they re-
ccive from our government and devot-
ed to it, and especially of that large
number who are now proving their de-
votion by their sacrifices on the tented
field But the conduct of those of our
foreign-born citizens who, when they
landed on our shores, became suddenly
possessed of privileges which they new
er knew of before, and who secure
homes and an independence for which
they must have labored their whole
lives in vain in their native country,
and then grumble at the smallest sac
rifce which they are called upon to
make for the government which Sc.
cures them these blessings, and who
finally break out in armed resistance to
its officers, grows more infamous by the
contrast.
That these ingrates who insist upon
all the privileges and refuse to bear any
of the burdens of citizenship, should
be punished, is the wish of every trus
citizen, native or foreign-born. Mr.
Powers resolution was very aptly me
by substitute proposed by Mr.. Pope
strongly condemning the proceeding
of the rioters.
ABin has been introduced to reduc,
the valuation of University lands.
this bill becomes law, its effect vii
be to reduce the income of the Univer
sity and make its very existence preca
rious. That our legislatures shoult
look at the State University in its true
LIGHT and extend to it the encourage
ment of their cooperation, is more thar
can be expected; but we would be
seech them at least to let it alone, tina
it may work out its mission OF useful
ness. It is a lamentable fact tha. Sc
