An Indian Rubber Bridge.

The following is sketch of the Indian
Rubber Bridge which was used during
the Creek war, in Alabama, some years
since:-s'It consisted of large bags, or
pontons, something like cotton bags in
shape, made of Indian Rubber cloth
which being filled with air, and attached
laterally together, formed bridge Of four
teen feet in width, and Of any length. ac-
cording TO lhe number of bags used; upon
these were laid light timber, 10 support
boards place. d literally, which forming a
smooth, surface, admitted the passage of
wagons, horses, &c. A detachment Of
six hundred men, with all their arms and
accoutrements, including the field officers
mounted upon horses, III arched on it at
once, and often remaining a quarter of an
hour, going through the evolutiOns, to
test It's siren II, they countermarched
with as much facility as if on the terra
firma. Field pieces, with their compile
ment Of mattresses, and their caissons filled
with ammunition, and loaded wagons,
were also driven over it with the same
ease. 1t was said that troop of horse,
arriving at night at a river where this
bridge was, and seing it stretched across
the stream, crossed upon it under the
impression that it was common bridge.
The great advantage Of this bridge is its
portableness, all the pontons and the cor
dage for bridge Of three hundred and
fifty feet beng capable Of transport stion
in single wagon; whereas the former
ponton equipages consisted of cumbrous
and bulky pontons of wood, sheetiron and
copper"

twas night-and Sniggle TO his wife
Lay talking, as they were in bed,
OF all the ills the cares and strife,
Thatfell upon his luckless head.
"Here have we been six years" quoth he,
"And still we find both ends don't tmeet;
Eve work as busy as bee,
And yet we barely live and eat
Our children have no schooling yet;
Indeed, am ashamed Of Ben
Poor fellow, am so much in debt
He's had'no chance, though now past ten.
''But stop, how is it, said his spouse,
''Our neighbor gets along SO well!
Have you not marked that Blowse
What'er he has can always sell!
His boys, he says, know far much more
Than those who've been TO school year,
And then he always kqgEs the law,
When goods are low and when they re
dear.
His farm, though not as large as ours,
Is fast improving every day
I'd like TO know what magic powers
He has TO help him in his way"
And would too, poor Sniggle thought,
So next morning forth he went,
To find whereBlowse his bargains bought,
And how he had so little spent.
Said Blowse-"dear sir, the thing is plain;
The question, no matter how you shape
her.
Is answered by six simple words

do with the administration, so that my at
ton was particularly directedto the course
OF conduct pursued by Mexixo, which
struck me as resembling-though it was
much more senseless-the conduct of old
Spain in attempting for many years to re-
conquer the people Of the low countries
after they had declared their indepen-
denee.
Mexico must be taught that it is neces-
sary for her to treat for peace upon con-
siderations which belong to the present
stale Of things. We have just claims a.
gainst her-claims acknowledged by her.
self in the solemn form of treaty stipula-
tions. She ought to make provision for
the payment of those claims; in short,
she must be brought to justice: | am
not one of those who would do an inius-
tice, but it appears to me that if, after all
that has occurred, she still persists in re-
fusing to take an American Minister on
the ground that it was through the fault
of the United States that she lost Texas,
she will by acting a verv senseless part,
As to her enlisting the sympathy Of
foreign Powers, have not the least believe
that any Power will stand behind Mexi-
co. | have not the least belief in her
possessing the assurance Of any Power
that. if she will hold on in the contest,
foreign aid will be sent 10 her. | think
the whole policy Of the Governments of
Europe takes different turn. ! believe
that they think-and especially England
that 1t is their interest to have Mexico
at peace; and i'll state of active industry,
cultivating her resources, multiplying her
products, and increasing her abilities to
purchase from them. | believe that this
will soon be the declared policy of the
British Government, as it is undoubtedly
the true policy Of all Governments.
believe, therefore, that if Mexico rests up
on any hope that by-and-by aid and sue
cor will come from foreign sources; that
hope will entirely fail.
The newspapers speak Of mediation
| doubt whether there is much truth in
that; if, however, any offer of mediation
DC Ildtut ~ tlC DSSt lElEuu NlCAlCO
has, it must come down TO this at last,
that she must treat for peace. For one,
would vote for suspension OF hostilities
TO. the end that negotiation might take
place; and i'll were TO advise. would say
make her an offer Off formal embassy.
would be for keeping ourselves entirely
in the right. We can afford to do SO;
we can lose nothing in dignity by it, 1t
is not STOPPING on our part, because all the
world knows that the contest is very une-
quail. Ii she will consent to this, | say
meet her in the negotiation. and in the
mean time suspend military operations.-
But if she will not do this; if she persists
loollshly and senselessly in carrying on
the war, then, of course, she must
have war, vigorous war, until she be
compelled TO adopt different line of con-
duet.
Mr.. WEBSTER having concluded,
brief discussion ensued between Messrs.
Benton and Crittenden in relation to the
mode Of differing the regiments of volun-
teers; when,
On motion of Mr.. CRITTENDEN,
the further consideration of the bill was
postponed until tomorrow.
