/ learn that the independent Taylor convention

their letter in relation to the statement of Judge
Saunders.
The Marylan regiment Of volunteers will be in
Baltimore In few days, being now on the Ohio,
homeward bound. Our citizens, however, seem
to be but little disposed to give them very favo-
rable reception, notwithstanding their rapid APP
preach to the city, the first note OF preparation has
not yet been heard. True, there are among them
of the ''bhoys'' who 1t is not very desirable
to have back again; but then there are some glo-
rous fellows In the ranks, and it is to be hoped
that the others have been drilled into good beha-
vior-and, as they made good soldiers, will
make good citizens
Messrs. Murray " Hazlehurst, of the "vulcan
Works." have received the contract for building
the Fayette street bridge. 1t is to be OF iron and
to be built on model and style of their in
yention. The model was approved by several able
engineers. as superior to all that were presented

enable them to fulfil their contract before winter
sets IN.

Retrtn of The Soldiers from the Hars-Acq.itted-
Resignation of Gen. Cushing-Ihc Bridge Con-
tract
The Maryland volunteers, homeward bound
will reach Wheeling to-day; but as they will pro-
baby have TO cross the Alleganes on foot, five OF
six days viii probably elapse before they reach the
city. Our military, In whom are concentrated all
the patriotism and public spirit of the city, are
making arrangements 10 give them soldiers wei
come They will be here on Thursday or Friday
next.
The young man named James Turner, whose
arrest mentioned few days since on the charge
OF incendisrism, was yesterday discharged from
custody, there being not a particle of evidence
against HIM.
Generals Scott and Quitman passed through the
city yesterday. i is said that the trial of
General scott VIII be commenced in about ten
days, before a new court 10 be oroanized IN
Washington. General Gushing having RESIGNED
ms commission, renders II necessary that new
court should be organized-though Capt RIdpoIv
has been retained as Judge Advocate.
II Is now confidently asserted here, that Gene.
raj Taylor had received no official Intimation
OF his nomination by the PHILADELPHIA conyen-
ton late as the Both ut What can be
the cause Has the letter miscaried, or have
the committee adopted the Utica plan, of taking
silence for CONSENT
appears that the contract for the Fayette street
bridge has not been settled II rests between the
plans presented by Mr.. Mllholland and Messrs
Murray and liazchurst, the engineers having re-
ported both TO be OF equal merit, leaving the city
authorities 10 decide between them. We already
have one bridge on Milhoand's plan at Monu-
ment street, which answers admirably.
