( From tie Weekly Dispatch, March 81
EGYPT.

Advices received at ConstantinopIe an
nounces that the Egyptian Constitutional
Assembly have proposed to the Viceroy to
withhold the payment of a portion of the
tribute to the Porte as compensation for
the expense of the Egyptian army in
Crete.
The LeUant Herald (of March g. states
on authority the extensions of prerogative
which the Viceroy seeks of the Porte.
He claims the right TO appoint to all
grades, up to the highest, in both the
civil and military services of Egypt, with
out reference to the Porte to confer de-
corations; to conclude commercial trea-
ties with foreign Governments; to estab-
lish diplomatic agencies in Europe /; to
assume the title of "Aziz-ul-Masslr," in
stead of,that of mere cali ; and the right
of Independent legislation in all matters
of police, judiciary, and general admins
tration of the Pf~incipality. The chief ar
gument advanced in support of these
demands is drawn from the concessions
recently made to Moldo-W allachia. In
addition to these formal demands it is
rumoured in official circles that Nubar
Pacha will arrive in a few days with some
supplementary proposals of equal, if less
, 1867-04-26

general interest, and suggest subjects for
the editorials for the next days paper.
After comparing the various opinions
with his the presiding Editor, either
Mr.. Bennett or his son, decides how each
subject is to be treated, and assigns it to
the sub-edltOr best calculated to "work
it up' in the peculiar vein or stvIe of the
Herald. These meetings are often very
interesting, and the editors look forward
to them with positive pleasure. I was
once present at an editorial council"
when the card of Senator Henry Wilson,
OF Massachusetts,, was handed 10 the
senior Mr.. Bennett. He read it aloud
and ordered the porter to show the gen
tleman In. When Mr.. Wilson entered he
was somewhat surprised at the evidences
OF a literary levee, but recovered his COM
posure as soon as Mr.. Bennett introduced
the gentleman as "hiS editorial staff"
The Senator at once sat down and con-
versation recommended, For two hours
a sharp discussion between the Senator
and the Editor cnsued, the "staf" Join
ing in whenever occasion offered or war
ranted, and a very agreeable, entertain
ing, and rambling debate on political
topics in general, and Congressional pro-
ceedings in particular, was the result. At
last Senator Wilson, rising, apologized
for disturbing the Council" and as he
was leaving The room remarked that BIO
would understand better hereafter chow
a great paper is edited" "Will heY
remarked the Editorial in-Chief, as the
door closed on the Senator, and a pecu-
liar smile on his c0untonance indicated
to those who knew him best that some
thing 1unny was in the "o.d gentIeman's'
mind Gle thinks he'll understand how
the Herald is edited, does he9 l want
each of you," he added, "to take some
one ice@ Mr.. Wilson has expressed, state
1t briefly in one paragraph, and answer it
in a second. | want them all short"
If Mr.. Wilson read the Herald of the
next morning he must have been very
much astonished and amused at the way
the "great Herald' was edited, for every
editorial article referred to him, and re-
hearsed his ideas expressed the day be-
fore.

wark squad" drill-the Herald'S cores
pondents were veterans. Their esprit du
corps was superior TO that of any similar
body I ever saw, and nothing could have
been more admirable. This spirit was
not confined to the Herald correspondents,
however, though not so much developed
and encouraged, in other offices; and
some Of the Western papers had most adj
mirably energetic as we'll as able cores
pondents, such as Reid and Fnray, Of the
Cincinnati Gazette, and CadWallader, Of
the Chicago Times while energy and
ability were equally united in such of the
Eastern correspondents as Coffin ("Carle-
tony, of The Boston Journal, Swinton, of
the Times, SmaIley, of the Tribune, and
others. The spirit of rivalry engender-
cd by this system of discipline, and the
circumstances under which the cores
pondents always labored, naturally produ-
ced some singular incidents. During the
war it was customary or a correspondent,
after a battle, 10 start for the office of his
paper with what notes he had collected
during the engagement, and write up his
account as he went This practice saved
time. though it paid dearly for postage.
On one occasion [ was en- route for New
York, from Nashville, Tennessee, with
important news, accompanied by Mr.. w.
S. Furay, Of the Cincinnati Gazette (cor-
respondents of non-rival journals frequent
ly collected and used their notes of a bat
tie in connection) We were compelled
to take at Nashville a military train,
which was being sent through to Bowling
Green after reinfOrcements, and it hap
pened that the engine-drivcr was a rebel,
though he was not suspected as such.
He thought it to the interest of the Con
fcderacy TO delay the forwarding Of rri@-
forcements to RosecraNs. and managed to
have his train run into by a second, which
was in the rear, and smashed up. | hap
pcned to be in the rear car, writing, and
when the alarm was given jumped from
. the car, dropping some of my papers as [
did so. Although the danger was immi-
nent, l could not resist the temptation to
stop and pick them up. [ did so, and
again started to gel out Of The way Of the
rapidly-approaching train. Other slips
of paper fell from my grasp. 1 gave a
look ut the coming train, a glance and Il
grasp at the papers, and Then ran for it,
laughing in spite of myself at hearing,
above the screech Of the locomotive, the
voice of Furay loudly beseeching me not
to close the list Of killed and wounded !"
After some hours delay, in which
Furay and l wrote at our accounts instead
of assisting at The repair of the cars, the
two demolished trains were patched up
so rs 10 make one whole one, and off we
started with the rebel engineer, who had
thus far escaped suspicion, again in
charge. When within about ten miles of
Bowling Green, Kentucky, l was looking
out Of the door Of the box-car in which
Furay and myself had taken passage,
when l noticed that the locomotive of
the train was detached from the cars, and
was some distance ahead, still standing
at The bottom Of "a heavy grade, down
which the train was going with great
rapidity. I saw what the consequences
of the threatened collision must be, and
called Furay's attention to the approach
, 1867-04-26

L was thinking not how to escape, but
how to get to Bowling Green, where we
could ~get-another train, and go on toward
our destination without delay. While in
the act of jumping the solution Of that
problem came to my mind and | had no
sooner alighted safely on the ground than
l called out to Furay-"Get on the loco
motive; that will carry US to Bowling
Green! For the sake of any reader
who may be interested in the sequel |
will add that my surmise proved true
the locomotive did carry us TO Bowling
Green, where he stated the facts and our
suspicious of the engineer to General
Manson; and the rebel was arrested,
tried, found guilty, but never executed,
for the reason that he escaped from con-
hnement and got into the Contederacy.
The same gentleman who participated
with me in this adventure once had a not
dlssimiIar one in Georgia. A rival cor
respondent with a very full and valuable
list Of the killed aud wounded in one Of
The Atlanta battles was on a train with
Mr.. Furay, both en- route to Cincinnati
with full details of the battle. The train
was thrown from the track at night,
and the car In which the correspondents
were seated broken into fragments, and
several passengers killed and many wound
ed. Fortunately both correspondents
were unhurt, and managed to extricate
themselves from the ruins. The ruling
passion was strong amidst death, and ten
minutes after the two correspondents met
each other cropping about in the dark,
each looking for the others dead body
and notes Of the batHe! 1t was a grim
joke, but each enjoyed it.
This system Of carrying ones own &C
count of a battle to the office of course
cost considerable money but army mails
were not to be trusted, and the money
thus spent was never begrudged by the
publishers. 1t was these expenses which
make the cost Of the war correspondents
so heavy, for they were not paid large
salaries. The expenses of a correspond
ent were frequently as heavy as his sala-
ry; and thus the battle accounts of the
Herald often cost a pretty handsome sum.
Its account of the capture of New Orleans
cost that paper $1,000, and it paid for lis
account of the battle of Chickamauga at
the rate of about $3.50 per column; while
the siege of Chattanooga cost the same
paper over $500 in starred horse-hesh
alone.
The collection of the news by agents
and correspondents is not the last pro-
cess through which it passes before being
given to the printers, and by them to the
public it has yet to be prepared-i.e.,
"edited !" and this process is not less inter
esting than that already noticed. A very
large force is necessary, or at least is en-
ployed, in every New York newspaper
office to edit the news, and this force is
generally carefully divided into distinct
classes or departments. There are in the
Herald Editorial Department eight sepa-
rate and distinct departments, giving en-
ployment 10 about 40 persons. There
are first of all eight or nine "Writing
Editors" who hold about the same rank
to the other editors that seniors in college
do to their feIlow-Students, but do not
command quite so much consideration.
