We publish to-day, In another part Of the
paper, very interesting correspondence on the
proceedings Of the Israelite Synod or Sanhe-
drim at Leipsic. twill be seen that our GORE
spondent is the only one, either from this coun-
try or Europe, that gives full account Of the
action Of this important assembly, and that
the distinguished and learned Israelites there
recognize and appreciate the services we rem
der. "The resolutions Of the First Isrselite
Synod, as our correspondent says twill be-
come known to European Hebrews by re-
translations from this Journal" "Ah," these
Israelites said. on seeing our representative,
"there is the HERALD correspondent again.
Now we are sure that our children and rela-
tives' in the United States will hear all about
as, and send us, as they did last year, faith
ful account Of our activity here" Referring
to the interview and conversation with Count
Bismarck by representative Of the paper
some time ago, this correspondent remarks
that the diffusion Of this intelligence in Eu-
rope through our publication of it first is like
that OF the interview with the great Prussian
statesman which was published on the 14th
of last month. The account Of that CONVERSE
ton, he says, sis going the rounds of Germany
and the Continent, translated from the HERALD,
and printed and reprinted In all the leading
papers, as well as in the small fry, the semi
official Norddeutsche ANgemeine, Bis
marck's organ, taking the lead" Thus we
see the mighty agency of the modern press,
and, what is more, the recognition by the
statesmen, journals and people of Europe Of
the superior enterprise of the independent
press of New York. And here we may re-
mark that in the interview with Count Bis
marck referred to, that remarkable man
showed that he fully appreciated the power
and usefulness Of the press. Unlike some of
our small politicians, he did not hesitate to
grant the interview and to talk freely. Directly
the application was made by our correspond
ent, and the object Of it made known, he
promptly replied, ''Come at eight o'clock this
evening"" and the great man was there to the
minute. It will be remembered that on the
occasion Count Bismarck spoke fully Of the
domestic politics Of Prussia and Germany, of
the character of the Prussan Parliament, of
his own difficulties with that body, of the want
of comprehension of his grand and far-reach-
ing policy, of the affairs Of Europe and of the
international relations of Prussia. In fact,
| he spoke with less reserve and more fully than
he would have done in State paper or in a
speech before the national legislature. He
did this, too, knowing that what he said was
to be published in America, and would &c
back to and be spread over Europe. Really,
he made the HERALD the medium of defining
his policy, both national and international, to
the world. In this conduct, and in his recog-
milton Of the power of the press, the Prussian
statesman showed himself as great as in his
government of Prussia. Who will not say
that the press, by the aid Of the telegraph and
steam communication, is the mighty agent Of
civilization in modern timesp
