6 ARCHIBALD FORBES. Tha Famous War-Correspondent of the London "Daily News." Ills HemaritnWo Foal In Forwarding tho Intclligcnco of tho Bnttlo of Ulnndl. Tho Second Telegram from Him In Eolation to That Engage ment. In Editorial of tho “Sews” on the Sohjoti ol IVar-Corrospondents. ffprrffll Ce*rnr*mtUnee of The TrfMinA. London, July 20.—Mr. Archibald Forbes, Iho famous wsr-corrospondont of tho Daily Afoot, Is mraln the hero of tho hour. Ho has Just per formed a feat unexampled by anything over ac complished by any newspaper-correspondent before, except perhaps by Mr. Forbes himself. Thursday morning Inst camo the news Hint Ulnndl was Inflames, mid Hint the army of Uoty wayo had heen routed in open fight before their Capital. Forbes brought ft from Ulnndl to Landsman’s Drift, a distance of 110 miles, by A DAUINO Itinn OP FIFTEEN HOURS, ALONE, through a hostile country. It was not the first time that the courage, and energy of the Daily jVhrs’ correspondent had relieved the anxiety of Governments and nations. Ills ride to Landsman’s Drift with the nows of Lord Chlcrnsford’s decisive victory over tho Zulu army conveyed Dio Intelligence, both to Sir Garnet Wolsclcy and to Sir Barilo Frore, far In advance of the official dispatches, and enabled the Homo Rccrotnrv.loannouneo to Parliament and tho country, at Die beginning of the sitting of the House of Commons, the nows of the Brit ish success. Sir Barilo Frcrc acknowledged In bis official dispatch that ho was Indebted lo Mr. Archibald Forbes, “who rode with the news In fifteen hours to Landsman’s Drift”: and that ho had Horn Sir Garnet Wolscloy os yet onlv a copy of Forbes’ telegram which had reached mo previously. 1 ’ From a later telegram It seems that" tho courageous correspondent twice lost Ids' way on that memorable night. Fow, exebpt those who have ridden In wild can understand what fifteen driving hoursYfh tho saddle means; and, when It Is re membered that this brcak-neck ride was through a broken country, where there ore no roads, where any, moment a band of savages.-might spring from ambush, and through a fog so dense ns to mislead both horse and rider, we can get a faint idea of tho REMARKABLE ENDURANCE AND DARING of the correspondent, who has added to hts own fame and tliat of • hfs journal by the accomplish ment of a feat only* equaled by the some man’s historic rides from Plevna to Bucharest, and from Shlpka to Bucharest In the latter of these, It will be remembered, Mr. Forbes dis tanced not only all other journalists, but the six stnfT-ofilcers whom the Russian Emperor had sent up to the Shlpka Pass for news. On that occasion—lt seems as If wo read It but yester day—he was Immediately summoned before the Emperor. Mr. Smalley has told Uic story per fectly: “Tils clothes, once white, had been worn a forlnltrht without washing, and three days and nlchta without taking oil, and were caked with mud and stained with the blood of Gen. DraglmlrofT, who had been wounded by his side, ilo had a stubble heard of a week’s growth, nnd had not washed his lace or hands for half that period. With a touch worthy of Artcmus Ward, Mr. Forbes added that ho had not boon brought up much among Emperors, but understood they were particular about dross,—hence his hesitation about presenting himself In this plight. How ever, he was assured that, In the circumstances, a eourt-costfimc would not bo required, and ho went” Ho explained the situation In ilm Pass, mid drew a rough sketch of the position for the edification of theEiupcrnr. The following extremely Interesting editorial OK WAU-CORIIItSPO.NDENTd appeared In tho DaVy Ano» the day after Iho pews of the struggle nt Ulnndl was vouchsafed to England by thu bold effort of Mr. Forbes: /Tho history of wnr abounds, of course,ln stories of long nnd daring rides. Not many cun bo said to equal, wen In daring, the extraordinary achieve incnt of oar correspondent as ho sped along, tin- tchHii" ami untiring, through tho country of snvaa and I o tile tribes. But It In not In the boldness o the auventuro that tho novelty exist*. Neither I there much novelty In the manner of conveying tim news. On tho contrary, the stale of things in South Africa ha* to a grout extent bronchi back warfare for tho moment to Us old-fashioned ways, so far an tbc transmission of news In concerned. Our correspondent’s great anxiety was to eon* vov his report so quickly as to anticipate tho sail* imrof a vessel. Of Into years a telegraphic wire brines us news from across the ocean as well us from across tho Und. If, unfortunately, woshotild over again have a war m Kmiih Africa, onreorro spundcut, should ho tie there, will probably not have to ride eighty or 100 miles with a piece of nows, nor will tho public at home have to wait ft fortnight for inch nows as that which lie risked his life to bring nearer to the point of transmission. The electric telegraph will, we may presume, have connected us directly with South Africa long before even tho present Government could contrive to get Into another war there. Our correspondent had. therefore, an experience of war under s-nnewtint antiquated conditions. U Civsnr bad had special occasion to send a quick message to his. Lieutenant Cicero, he could have scut it by such an emissary as our correspondent, who would spur on until ho had reached his goal. In wnr ns in pence, all tho development of practlrai hcloncn which has to do with sliced of locomotion and of the transmission of new* fails within the lust fortvilvo years. Alexander the Great and the Duke of Wellington were about on a level as regards the moans of locomotion. Tho world hns advanced more in this direction from Waterloo to Hlr Garnet Wolseloy’s lime than In nil the preced ing ages from Thrpsymemo to Waterloo. It Is only in such regions as those of Zuhtland that the movements of war go hack to something like their primitive conditions. Signals are Hashed as they were on tne day of Marathon, and ojdaring rider brings the news of a victory by aallopine without stupor stay for some ilflcon hours, oh he might have home it from Hastings. Tho n6velty of our correspondent’s tide was in the character and the occupation of nnrcorrespondent himself. Tho special correspondent on tho battlo-fleld Is n novelty altogether, put tho rapid growth of tho lot* curaphlc system has brought a newer development of this strictly modern Innovation. In tho Crimean War the newspaper-correspondent was llrut recog nized as tho regular companion of an army In a foreign campaign. A long Interval of peaco in Eu rope—peace, that la. so far as England Is concern ed—had ollowcd nnicnllruly new order of things to grow up since the' wars with Franco. It is not likely, wo presume, that the Great Buko would have seen with much favor tho appearance of tho special correspondent within hi* lines. Marl-, borough would have been far batter off than ho was If ho hod had o few Impartial correspondent# In his camp who could have made faithful repre sentations to an Independent press und a sound public opinion at homo,—supposing England then to havo been In tho enjoyment of such blessings. No too, Indeed, would Wellington; so. loo.to came mill inter, would Lord Gough. But Marlborough, and Wellington, and Gough would alike, no doubt, have demurred to the presence and (he criticism of itu independent Journalist who ventured to form an opinion of lus own, ami to criticise even tho Com jnomlcr-ln-t’hlef. la tho Interval, however, be tween Waterloo, or even between Uoojsrat aud the Almn. the now statu of things boo arisen, and the military authorities wore not prepared with continuous precedent to oppose to the presence of the special, correspondent. Ho was seen, there fore, In tho Crimea. He described the defeat of Menlztkod at tho Alma: ho made a picture of tho charge at Ualaklava; and he contrived oven to peer through the fog ut Inkormann. Wo all thought him a wonderful creaturo then. When a buttle was over, he had to go to his lent, sit down to write, and prepare his long de scription. He had bad. perhaps, to hunt all over the tump fur accouuu and opinion# to supplement und confirm hi# own. Tho steamer with the malls was to leave perhaps In a day or two. and ho hud to ride or send his messenger a considerable distance from the cump in order lu reach the steamer. It might be, therefore, tlist lu aome extreme caso ho had to alt up all night writing out aud correcting blsilescriptlouuf what bo hud aeon. Musi of us would find this hard work Indued, Few of us, per lisps, even if we bad formed any clear Idea of all that was going on behind the dense, seldom-lifting curtain or tho bulllc-suioko, could command our nerves and literary faculties so well us to produce that same night, amid nit tiro confusion of n n-lolciiijr camp, a vivid aud picturesque description of the day’s stirring work. Tills wua w.tai tho war-correspondent of tho Crimean disallowed that be could do. That he did, and bo received well-earned applause fur his clever teat*. But what was his task compared with that of the war-correspondent of the present! The telegraph-wire follows him almost up to "the rough edge of bailie." It was only-by a curious tltaucu that our special correspondent has now fallen upon a campaign which was cut off from ibo . Immediate cumpanlunshlpaf the electric cord. The curresponuent writes as he alts in his saddle. He has to send off Ul# narrative of the battle as promptly after U la done as If ho were seudtug off the result of a boat-race. He must form his opin ion in a moment. Ho must prove that he can t-uia ft sound Judgment owla vrualovcf dUUui* Hr« and distraction*, or ncnnle will place no ftilth In bln account* anil will not care to read I hem.

Pitch Is tho kind of work thalonr snscial forresoomlent has performed attain and attain,—always leaving the reader todoohlwhether ho Is more brilliant or more accurate, and to won der how tinder such clrcnmstanccs he could con trive to Iks either. Bat with the success of the war-corrcinomlent, and with tho regnlar recog nition of him as an Indispensable (lento on ever? battle-field, there comes to him the opportunity of rendering new service to his counter. lie Ims begun to bo looked unoo fl» the boldest and the surest envoy lo convey the news of a sudden danger or of a vlcrorv from tho authorities tn the field to the anthnrlllcs at some station far away from the battle. Ho Is. of course, a volunteer for work of this kind, lie offers it as another of his contributions lo the Instruction of his countrymen In the progress of the campaign 5 and he cheerfully undertakes an expedition of mis kind, although every rood of his Journey may bo haunted hv more danger than ho found In the battle field Itself. Assuredly the war-correspondent has in our davs well earned the right to base ms place In every campaign. Tho most oM-nwhlonen of old soldiers cannot any longer pretend lo regard him ns'a mere Incnmhrancc. or as somebody whoso business la to disparage general onlcers for ino amusement of- Ignorant civilians. the late debates on the Arniv-Dlsclollne hill there was fomi. talk nlmll tho im.lllnn o( panor-corrcspondcnls In a campaign. Some thine—not much, wo rndilv n, Unlt*-was "i about tho necessity of surrounding Ihom by restrictions. In order th« they mkhl not Incan-, llonsly allow new* to go forth by which the enemy mleht profit. In earlier days we used to hear more of this sort of thing. It is seldom la Ikedof now. Commanders know well enough that Hu.J,™'* ™. ft rule, fcnrlpsslv trust to the discretion of a regu lariv-accrcdited correspondent The correspond ent nsually understand* what wsrfftrc ls and what It demands, as well as If ho wore a uniform and wemattsched to the staff. In the dohato to which we have referred, some one asked what would hap pen If some tmll»crcel war-correspondent were by Ids revelations to ruin our army. \\ e have notour selves thought of what ought lo happen In such a cn«e. It Is not a Itkelv event. In our days the war-correspondent has often helped to save our armies. The risk of ruining them has been under taken by others. FORMER HONORS TO FORUB3. T remember well going down from London to the Crystal Palace ono dav during the row weeks that Mr. Forbes was homo from tho Russo- Turkish struggle, recovering from a foyer, and hearing him lecture on tho Personal Experi ences of-a War-Correspondent. llowas then the linn of London. The Queen had sent for him to Balmoral. Dinners wore given him by journalists and statesmen. In acknowledgment of tho service* ho had rendered. Ills name was on everybody’* Ups. The Russian War was Forbes, and Forbes was Die Russian War, to most Englishmen. And all this glory camo without seeking. Ills journal rarcl v spoke of his achievements,—for you must know that London newspapers are Intangibly anonymous. American renders are bv this time pretty well acquainted with Ihe pictorial power of tho famous correspondent, whoso descriollons are as accurate ns they arc brilliant. Forbes’ sec ond telegram on Iho battle of Ulnndl —for which dispatch Iho Xeic* must have paid tho telegraph company quite $2,500—1 clvo here with. It appeared In this morning’s paper, and Is a good example of MR. FORUBS’ VIGOROUS ENGLISH! The combat at Ulnndl was singularly unvaried br striking Incident. There was u big hollow square. and men in rod coals on the back, titles In hand. For half an hour this square stood doggedly pouring the sleet of death from every face. Ont flUln tills square, mostly at a respectful distance, surged a fnrlous throng of savages, brandishing shields and assegais, aud firing heavily, but fit fully, from tbelr lagged front. Present!? thcM black men wavered 5 then bolted, sent In Right by the steady administration of ctnlslcr. The sqnuro. still grlmlv firm, gave one ringing cheer that was hoard In the laager behind; tho bayonets wavered In the air for a moment; then the business recom menced. Tho Infantry ootook themselves for a few minutes to long shots. A centrifugal whirl wind of horsemen sued from tno sonaro as iho Jlgntnlng bursts from the thundercloud, and dashed •hot and fierce after the fiylnc foe. Before the cavalry bad concluded their Innings the Infantry wore placidly lunching, and the corks were pouplngort long-boarded champagne-hollies. Inside the square a few ocad Britons lay. who had spent their lives forthclr ouecn and country. The green sward outside was littered thick with dead , Zulus, who,'not less than our dead, had fallen for ‘theirsovereign. . „ ... There Is nothing more to tell, save of the general fire ami smoko that seethed In tho bosom of the beautiful vallcv as wo inarched from it. I have no maneuvering, ‘no elaborate tactics, to recount The affair was simply a struggle reduced to tho first .principles of ding-dong fighting, with the natural advantage to the Zulus In numbers; to us In Iho character of the armament. , _ „ , The onlymnnuuvcringclone was by Bnßcr a men, whoso horse-work waa superb, clearing the front, masking tho division while In the rows of forma tion In square, stinging the enemy Into opportune reprisals, and finally chevying the fugitives many miles. Duller'" men had tho score of Zloiwno to settle with the Zulus, and vengeful fury raged In their hearts because of asnectacln which met their pazoyestor.lav.

I never wish to see soldiers steadier. Constant laagering had been threatening demoralization. Apprehension was umincsttanably felt lest the sudden confront of the men with the fierce Zulu rush should shako their nerves; but the llritiHti soldier was true to his manly traditions when he found himself In the open, and saw the enemy face to face In the daylight. Lads of new regi ments, who hud never seen a shot fired in ancor, were is cool ns the seasoned veterans of the Thir teenth and the Blchtlcth. , Lord Chelmsford's soldierly coolness and deci sive clear-headedness hi action go far to redeem the panslveneis and peevish vacillation which are his characteristics when no battle Is raging. One might wish him a military lllp Van Winkle, only wakening indirect a battle. Evelyn Wood's face was radiant with the rapture of the fray as ho rode up and down behind hU regiment, exposed to a storm of missiles. All the ofllccra of the hcadiiuartoni slaff and Ncwdl pato's Aaff were unscathed, snrn LieuU .Milne, of the First, who was slightly wounded, and CapL Colton, of the Second, whoso temple was grazed by n bullet. Owing to thu conforma tion of the ground, the dressing-place In the contra of the sijuaro was peculiarly exposed. The surgeons worked under a heavy cross-lire with coolness and skill. . . . ... The Lancers had their good nay at last, and lost several horses. Col.

Jenkins had his lower jaw broken. It was bandaged, and he could nut bo restrained from accompanying his regiment in the charge. The Zulus summed thick In the lons grass and fired venomously. The Lancers spotted them In a maimer reminding one of plir-stlcklng. Indeed, Keevil Davis. killed six Ipso mimu. Young James, of thu Scots dreys, was blazed at point-blank by two men.

GOULD AND TITK IOWA POOL. 'lho Genera) Freight Agent* of flic lowa pool roads held n meeting yesterday at the olllco of tho Chicago, Burlington * Quincy. The pro ceedings were held with dosed doors, but It Is understood that Iho subject under considera tion Is tho war on llvc-atock rates between the Burlington A Missouri River Road, tu Nebraska, and tho Union Pacific. The object was to get the three roads to take a uniform position In re gard to the matter. It Is believed that Jay Gould means to discriminate against the Bur lington. and punish It for the position taken by the Burlington* Missouri Hirer In Nebraska. Tho managers of tho Chicago, Burlington A Quincv claim that they have nothing to do with the difficulty, and If Gould tries to vent his spleen upon them ho docs It simply because Mr. Perkins, the General Manager of tho Burlington * Quincy, Is prominently connected with the Burlington «fc Missouri River. It Is generally believed hero that Gould Is trying to break the lowa pool, and that the present fight with the Burlington A Missouri River has been com menced In order to accomplish this object, mid thus originate a pretext lo begin n row with some of the pool lines. It Is a well-known fact that .lav Gould—or, which Is tho same, the Wabash—asked, some time ago, to get a share of tho west-bound Pacific business to go via the Kansas Pacific and tho Colorado Central’to Hazard, on the Union Pacific. The trunk lines tuns far have refused to accede to this Impudent demand, hut in the meantime Mr. Gould Is getting his work In, by diverting from the lown pool linos a largo share of iho cast-bound Pacific business by sending It from Hazard via the Colorado Central, Kansas Pacific. SI. Louis, Kansas Cltv «fc Northern, and Wabash roads, In all of which' he has an Interest. Air. Gould evidently means to apply tho thumb screws upon all the Eastern roadsnot controlled bv him, and they will have to atuml It just so long os ho controls tho only lino to tho Pacific. The necessity of additional routes to tho Pacific Coast becomes more apparent every day, and Mr. Gould’s highhanded action will have tho efleet of hurrying tho Northern I’aclfic and Atclson, Topeka A Santa Fo Railroads to speedy completion, and also to extend the Bur lington* Missouri Road westward from Kear ney to a luncllon with the Central Pacific at Ogden. With three additional lines to the Pa cific, the Eastern roads can bid defiance to Jay Gould, and the Union Pacific will no longer bo able to dictate terms to all other roads lu the country. _____ A NATIONAL QUARANTINE.

A few days since wo gnvo tho Union Pacific notice that wc desired n certain lower rato fixed at Kearney, and asked I hem to agree to it. To this propo sition they sent back a refusal, at tho same time declaring that, unloss wo receded from our de mand. they would declare all agreements ns to Kearney business off.

TUB “IIUM.IOH" DBAI.BRS, JOHN IIANBRN AND 11. J. WAI.KBU, who arc alleged to have gotten $3,800 from I.cmcr Friedberg, Uic pawnbroker, for a brass brick, wore presented to Justice Wallace at the fioulli-Hiilo Police Court yesterday afternoon. A. 8. Trmlo appeared for Urn prisoners, and the Prosecuting Attorney and Evert Van Duran for the Stale. The charge was “the confidence game.” Afr. Cameron exhibited the brick, and ex plained the little game to the Court. Detective Aldrich asked for a continuance. There were oilier parlies who hadn't been ar rested, uml some witnesses to bo looked up. The defense interposed no objection to a post ponement. In referring to the question ol ball, Mr. Trudo claimed Uml HANSON was an employe of Friedberg,—that ho gave Hanson S2TO to fetch him to the two men, so that ho could secure the ‘‘stuff.” Hanson know nothing about the brick. As to Walker, It would bo shown that ho had not committed the crime charged. The brick was represented to Friedberg os the fruit of the robbery of a stage-coach near Deodwood, and the party wore desirous that ho should buy it. He entered Into the scheme, the property was subjected to chemical examination by him, ami he bomrht IU The law gnye Frlcdbcrg no relief under such circumstances. Mr. Cameron remarked that the men bored into the brick and put the filings into a paper In order that they might be taken to an assaycr’s. They changed the paper, substituting one that had real cold In It, and the nssaver pronounced It good gold, fourteen carats fine. Mr. Trndc repeated his former statement. Frlcdborg had gone to Detectives McDonald and Htcol and told them that the brick was Jewelry melted up,—the proceeds of a robbery, and ho believed a murder. And ho desired the offi cers to catch the men. Ills (briedborg s) purpose was not to deliver them to public jus tice, bub TO OBT THE PLUNDER,— Bn olil some, lie (Trade) lluimrbl the ball Bhanld 1)0 Hied In view ot lira ImwoliolillHv ot conviction. The public verdict was the jironcr juilsmoot. All thought Frlodbcrg lied boon treated right. . ... Mr. Cameron said his Information was Hint Frlcdherg wont to the officers uml told them Hint a pnrtv had some goods ho wanted to sell, —ho didn’t know whether Jewelry or Ingots,— and ho naked whether property like It bad been stolen, and the officers said no. Mr. Tnnlc went on to refer to a mao whoso hand was rod with blood, mid was Interrupted by Mr. Von Huron, but It did no good. Where n man enacted tbo rolo of prosecutor In a case wbo was a well known criminal, who was tho central llgnre In the most “infamous group of pestilential scoundrels.” , w . Mr Van Huron jumped In again, but subsided when Mr.Comeron gold: “It don’t hurt; let him Court na much as told Mr. Van Huron If he Interrupted again ho would order him thrown out. Trade had his “ear,” and was entitled to It. unless the Court said “stop.” So Trade proceeded. Frledberg’s statements were not entitled to tbc same degree of cre dence ami judicial rcsocct as those of Mr.Lcllor. The theory advanced bv tho I'rosccutlng-Atlor noy wo» Frlcdbcrg’s Uieory.

Was that true/ There was the basis for fixing the The Court remarked that ho should require ball enough to protect the people from Imousl tlou by the use of tho money said to have been fraudulently obtained. Tho ball should bo larger than the money secured. Mr. Trude contested this point, and unred that ho didn’t want to go “over tho river” for relief. In the course of Ida remarks ho said that neither of the prisoners was the mnn to whom the money was paid. And ho turned to Fnedhcrg and naked him which one gut the trrcenhueks. .. .... Mrs, Frledherar, who was standing beside her husband, nudged him, and Frlcdbore said, “I have nothing tuanv.” Finally the ease was continued until 2 p. m. Wednesday, the defendants being held In $3,500 each, which they gave, mid thereby sceured their release from custody. IT SEEMS THAT SOME ONE HAD TOI.D FlllED nuua about the mnn witti ttio brick, and Unit Hanson could Iclruduco lilm to them. So lie wont to Hanson, who wasn’t disposed to favor him at tirst. Frlcdhcrg was so anxious to meet the men and prevent another pawnbroker from gutting hold of them that ha gave Hanson S3OO to bring him to them. After concluding to lake tiie brick, ho altered Government bonds, but the bullion dealers wouldn’t take them; so Fried berg had to turn the bonds Into cash. Iftho brick had reullv been gold—what Frledbcrg thought It was—its value would havo been be tween $0,0(10 and $7,000, ami yet ho gave only $-.’,800. Ho might gut $1.50 for It. Very little sympathy Is expressed for him. MTKOR CASES^ Joseph Slater, notorious for tho safe-blowing reputation given him by the police, was yester day arrested by the West Twelfth-street police.
