UWe observe by a London paper,
that one of the census takers, on his

TnE DEsTRUcTIoN OF MiSor LEDGE
LIGHTHOUSE. Col. Swift has written a
letter to Col Albert Chief of the Topo.
graphical Engineers, at Washington,
giving, nj length, his opinion of >the
cause Of the destruction of the Minos
Ledge Lighthouse. The letter, which
goes minuteIy into the subject, is pub
lshed in the Washington Republic Of
Saturday last. The conclusions at
which Col S. arrives are as follows:
First Tha, the sea did reach the
main body ofthe structure.
Second. That the platform, or deck,
placed by the keeper on the second Sc
rice of braces, contrary to the design Of
the builder of the lighthouse, contri-
butcd 10 tie overthrow.
Third. That the guy, or 5 IL inch
hawscr attached by the keeper TO the
top of The lighthouse, and extending
300 feet northwest, or in a direction d.
reclly at right angles to the direction
of the sea northeast, had most injuri-
ous tendency, and that it was enough,
in itself, 10 cause the overthrow Of The
chthousc, had the sea not reached the
body of the structure. II is easily TO
perceive that the force OF such n sea up
on 300 feet ola hempcn rope of 5 l-2
inches must have been immense, when
that rope was attached TO the weakest
part of the building, that IL, the lantern
deck, 30 feet above the rock.
