| The bridge from the Virginia shore to
Zanes Island consists of single span oil
one thousand and ten feet from centre 10
centre Of the supporting towers; It's height
is ninety feet at the eastern abutment, nlne-
ty three aud half at the highest poin. and
sixty-two fee, at the western ahutment "a
bove low wafer level. The Court has di
rected it to be elevated to the height OF
ITO feet, so that boats with chimneys so
feet high can pass under when there is so
feet of water in the channel.
The resolutions that follow were lately
adopted by the Wings Of Henrico, at
meeting held for the purpose Of appoint
ing delegates to the Stale Convention
They are from the pei of Mr. Bolts. and
speak lin his earnest and vigorous language,
an admiration for the iIlustrious cii
zen, who now stands atihe head of the gov
ernmeni,in which the Wings of this portion
of Vireinia-indecd, we believe, Of the
whole State, unanimously and cordially
unite. We scorn all fulsome praise,
and everything approaching to syco-
pllancy-we love justice, and We re-
cognize a debt Of gratitude to those,
who, by faithfully and wisely devoting

country, confer benefits on their feIlow-
men and renoun upon the Republic. We
speak in harmony with these feelings,
hen we say that the administration Of
Willard Fillmore has LEFT lis friends moth
ing to desire or regret. Adhering 10 the
example and taught by the counscls Of
W ashington, it has combined the rcpubIi-
can craftsmanship of Madison, with the
putty and moderation Of Monroe.
After appointing delegates, the resou-
tons proceed

has been characterized by great prudence, patriot
ism, aud wisdnm-conscieitiouslv uphodig tbs

forcing the provisions law, without reference to
