Correspondence Of the Herald
ALBANY. Dec. 81. 1874.


DEAR BENNETT
From notice, published in the State paper, a
communication in your columns, and many pre-
montory symptoms here, ] perceive that we are
to have the old Bridge battle fought over again.
Well, /, tor one, am not sorry We want that
Bridge, and must have it. The arguments of your
correspondent" A Citizen," are weak as water;
for they are all based upon ths allegation that the
proposed Bridge will interfere with, and obstruct
the navigation Of the river This is all stuff, and
does but excite smile from engineers, and those
at all conversant with the plan OF the Bridge And
who can believe that the mere spanning OF the Uud.
son at Albany, with bridge, is going to ruin the
business OF Troy, Waterford, and Lansingburgh !?
inese latter villages both lie above the two Troy
bridges, and, yet, are far from being ruined
"A Citizen" must plead better for Toy, if he
would not be considered laughing stock
we are going In for the bridge business, Mr.
Bennett, Just about straight We shall have
powerful influence enlisted, and vigorous efforts
made to back up the application to the hub The ball
has been opened In our newspapers The Citizen,
few days ago, fired the first gun, and expect soon
to see the rest iirine away. The excitement will
to eat oysters and drink champagne in TROY al
night, and during the day vote and speak against
the bridge in the House.
Yous shall hear from me again. BY the way, the
Herald never stood strong in the city, IN the es
timate Of the public, as it does at present
In politics we are all in jumble. The argus
and atlas are continually by the ears, while The
advertiser and Citizen cross fire at the old Foe
ming Journal huIks at no small rate Weeds old
boat is leaky as the mischief Seward is irving
his prettest to haul into the abolition dry dock for
repairs, but Gerrit Smith /" opposes the motion"
inasmuch as it interf-res with his own plans The
objects of Weed, Seward IL Co. are smelt by the
Daily advertiser and Citizen folks, and not a few
wings and wing papers in the country. So you see
there is sport a brewing for us.
1t is cold as Greenland here without flake OF
snow on earth. Yours, &c.

JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.
am gratified TO find, that you have in this city,
visilant sentinel to herald every important move-
ment 1t is by this means, that your paper cons.i-
tutes the great social link Of the country, by
which the electric power Of public thought is COM
muncated. An instance has been afforded in the
letter published in the Herald of yesterday, in
which the just pretensions OF L. Collins Lee TO the
office of U. s. Senator, have been so forcibly
stated But while this is city Of "tall monu-
men's, II Is also city Of "tall men," and lofty
and eminent IN the great public square OF patrio-
tlsm, stands the towering figure of Joseph l. Speed
The citlzens OF London and Paris have looked ad-
mlrlngly on this proud column OF public faith, and
then have leaned confidingly upon it, when the
dark and howlIng storm Of reputation shook the
world There he stands, the observed OF all OBJ
servers" with those letters Of which he is the
author, unfolding lessons OF public morality, which
establish his fame as the Cato OF the age.
Place him in the Senate Chamber, and you give
hostage to the nations for the fufment of everv
republicanpledge, be it tor honor for money! And
when a crisis comes, in which an appeal can be
made TO mind, and reason be courted by the pow
er of intellectual argument the President Of the
Senate will only have to put pen In the hand Of
Joseph |. Speed, and vine-cOvered France and
"seagirt England shall bow to our supremacy.
Mandarins OF China nod approvingly TO our action
-and then, when gcntlerfeelings are to be invoked
and the soft persuasions o pathetic eloquence to
be. employed, who dare enter the arena, with the
gifted author Ot that essay on " Maternal Love"
which has shed upon the domestic relations Of our
city the mamma OF its blessedness?
We do not mean TO dlsparage other names, but
who can so well defend the Union OF the Country,
gritty, and with the other held his glorious shield,
10 protect and secure our private blessings am
sure you will answer "no one I" Let such be the
response, from the great Wigwam at Annapolis.

Music and the Orphean Family.

MESSRS, EDITORS,-
Will you allow me, through the columns OF your
paper, to call the attention OF the public to those
v0caists, whose unrivalled songs stirred the feel
ings and awakened the heartfelt admiration OF
those assembled at the New England dinner, In the
AsrorIfouse on Monday evening ! mean the Orphe.
an Family. This family ofnative songsfers are from
Maine, from the banks of the Kennebec, aye, from
veritabe Yankee land, the words OF one OF their
songs last night Informed US 1t consists of two bro
theirs and two sisters, from when came strains OF
harmony, such as never heard ere this We have
had, nay, have now, many, very many singers,
who charm the ear with their dulcet notes. But
from these children of song, we hear our own fa-
miliar melodies, the spiritstirrng native" strains
Of our " native land, }" echoed forth from the soft
ripplngs of their own dancing brooks to the deep
rolling grandeur Of the "ocean's roar"
At all public dinner parties, and especially at
one consisting of whole souled Yanke ees, assembled
to commemorate the acts of their Pilgrim Fathers,
thelc is much joyous tumult and jovial confusion.
So i was on Monday, evening; bat amid the clang
and noise, the President OF the Society arose. and
called the attention Of its members 10 glee from
the Orphean Family. Instantly every eye was
turned to them, and breathless was the silence,
while each ear was bent eager to catch their swell
ling chords, which now rolled in perfect harmony,
echoing and re-echoiDg through the festive hall.
The applause that followed, told the tale at once;
told that the chord Of the heart had been touched
thrilled Song after song followed, and the
breaihess attention. the excited look, the deafen.
ing applause. showed the deep influence that these
sons and daughters OF song can exert over the hu.
man soul. The Orphean Family are to give their
first concert in this city in few days. In their
tour through the western part OF this State, and
wherever they have been, they have created SEN
salons, and left Impressions highly favorable to
~ u those who love most delicious harmony,
IND would patronize native talent" and" native
WORTH" attend their concerts
