during the past two months The Southern States In the
Convention, whether Instructed not, are unanimously
in favor Of such action will give the Cincinna eKes

London,s Underground Railways.

London's Underground RaiiWays.
C. Fulton writes to the Baltimore
American The underground railways
of London are OF the most extensive
character, fourteen miles Of whish are
now complete and in running order.
The enterprise purposes, when CON-
pleted, to finish An inner circle and an
outer circle, throug h which the cars will
continue to run round and round all
day, stopping at the numerous stations
on the route to take in and discharge
passengers. Most Of the stations are
open to the daylight, but there are some
entirely underground, and lit with gas.
The number Of passengers car
ried over this road last year WAS
forty millions, and there has been .
large increase this year. The cars are
driven by steam, the locomotives being
of a peculiar construction, which ena-
bles them to consume their own smoke.
They carry six to eight cars, with hrst,
second and third class partments,
and move along at the rate OF about
fifteen miles per hour, including stop
pages at the stations. Almost any point
in the city can be reached in ten min
utes, even to q distance that would re-
quire a couple of hours to 60 in q cab
or an omnibus. The cars are well
lighted with gas, and there is not the
least inconvenience to passengers from
smoke, dust or gas. Nothing
escapes from the locomotive but
a light stream of steam. There
are numerous openings or vestibules
along the route, besides the large and
spacious stations, which are fitted up
with every convenience for the accom-
mediation OF passengers waiting for the
trains, one OF which passes every few
minutes, some OF them passing of into
branch tunnels leading TO widely differ.
ent stations. The old Thames tunnel
has been utilized by the underground
roads, and now trains are constantly
flying through it TO stations on either
side of the river. After being 90
many years a mere engineering Gu
rIosity it has at last been made service
able in relieving the streets and bridges
of the metropolis from the great rush OF
travel. This road asses under streets,
sewers, gas end wafer pipes and houses,
without incommodiug any one or maxi
ing the slightest noise above ground.
Indeed a stranger in London would
scarcely know OF it's existence were he
not to follow the throng Of people who
are constantly passing iu and out Of the
stations. 1t is great relief to the
streets, which are, however, still throng-
ed with omnibusses, carriages and
pedestrians. These street railways are
also being extended in some parts of
the city above ground, but still meet
with much opposition, which is organ
lied by the powerful omnibus compa-

CURED yesterday morning. As the in
coming passenger train on the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad, running at
the rate OF twenty-five miles an hour,
approached the insane asylum at JEFF
ferson, the engineer observed man
standing within two feet Of the track,
about two hundred yards ahead. He
gave the warning whistle expecting to
see the man move of, but he stuck to
his perilous position. The train went
forward, and when the locomotive came
abreast Of the man be gave sudden
spring forward and landed directly on

and the man was found comfortably

In the matter of the Equitable In
