Bridge over the Mississippi.

1t is understood that the new bridge
which is to cross the Mississippi from Rock
Island to Davenport, in Iowa, is at last
located, and to be finished by the first of
December, 1854. The contractors are
John Warner g. Co., for the stone work,
and Stone g. Boomer, of Chicago, for the
They are represented as
being energ;tc and fully capable of accom-
plishing that stupendous work in the time
stated The bridge is to be commenced
in Rock Island, Immediately above the
depot, at or near the place where the up
per iron foundry stands, ard is to cross the
d" slough" or east branch of the river, on
a curve up stream, by three spans or arch
es, each hundred and fifty feet in length,
and will strike the island above the old
for ground. The curve will be continued
regularly across the island to the bank Of
the main channel, which will be crossed
by FIVE straight spans, each two hundred
and fifty feet long, and draw for the pas
sage of vessels. The length of the main
bridge will be about 1000 feet from the
island to the Iowa shore. The practical
part Of the project to Rock Island, how
ever, is the location Of the bridge in con-
nec.ion with the depot Of the Chicago and
Rock Island Railroad in this city. The
depot is located at what is known as the
boat-yord, on the bank of the river, the

Alarming Railroad Accident on the
Hudson River Railroad.

The 4 o'clock, p NJ. express train from
New York, of Saturday last, met with a
frightful disaster at Yonkers. Through
the carelesuess of the person having charge
of the switch, the train, very heavy one,
with two locomotives attached, was run
upon a side track which does not extend
beyond the lower end Of the ticket Office
at Yonkers, and nearly every car was COM
pletely demolished. The forward locomo-
tive (the L" Saratoga was run into the
ground to such an extent that the hinder
most end is elevated to an angle Of 450.
The second locomotive( the "Kinderhook')
received comparatively little damage, hav-
ing only, as far as We could discover, the
fue-cap, cow-catcher and ratings knocked
off. The baggage car is completely smash
ed, as also nearly all the passenger cars.
None of the passenger cars escaped injury.
killed-onc instantly, and the other so
badly hurt that his owner was obliged to
shoot him. When our reporter left yester-
day, workmen we're engaged in clearing
the tracks Of the wreck.
Those who saw the occurrence Of the
accident consider it almost miraculous that
no lives were lost. No one was injured
except one of the fremen, who sprained,
his ankle in jumping from the locomotive.
The man whose business it was to attend
to the switch has not yet been seen or heard
of since the accident No blame is attached
to the persons in charge Of the train, as it
was, of course, impossible to stop the trains
in time to prevent running of. The usual
speed of the Express trains at this point is
from forty to fifty miles an hour. They
pass without stopping; and one Of them
rushing along with two immense locomo-
,ives kissing and smoking-the whole train
enveloped in dust, and leaving an eddying
whirlwind behind, is one of tbs most ter.
rible exhibitions of power that can be i'm.
agincd, and makes one fairly shudder to
know that thousand human beings ar,
chained to two such impetuous demons
That such train should be run off tn,
track, its locomotives and cars SMASHED
and overthrow, and no person be killet
nor even injured, is indeed miraculous

The Lancaster County Ancient Sil.
Vor N inc.

The re-opening of the ancientsilver m ne
in Pequea Valley, Lancaster Co., has caus
ed some excitement. The mine is said to
have belonged to English capitalists, who,
on the breaking out Of the revolutionary
war, buried their tools and closed up the
shafts and tunnels. Since then the e1is-
ence of the mine has been forgotten, or on
" remembered as traditional fable, until
recently, when some traces were found Of
i. and operations were commenced under
the superintendence of Mr.. E. Bowen.
lie has succeeded in clearing out one tun-
mel or adit level, 100 yards long, Z feet
high, and 5 feet wide shaft so feet deep
and the beginning of another adit level.
Assays that have been made of the ore
(argentiferous galena) show that it con-
tains over $500 worth of silver to the ton,
and yields about so per cent. Of lead. A
letter from Mr.. Bowen, dated Oct. Goth,
says the Bulletin, states his conviction that
the mine was abandoned hurriedly, not
from its proving Improbable, but solely
on account Of the war; that the tools will
be found buried in the mine, and that o
large quantity of ore, previously mined
and cleaned, is deposited also with them
He adds that one months experience
proves that a mine, as no! exposed, viii

fishes, also, a letter from Hon. JAMES
COOPER, who states that his father, who
was born in 1864, in the Pequca settle
ment, had spoken Of hearing from his ia
ther Of the existance of these mines, anC
of their having been abandoned and filled
up by the English operators on account O
the war. There seems to be no doubt eli

value of the mines, and their re-diseovery

versa,ion. The Democrats arc divided
into the Hards and Softs, or Adamantines

as regards the Press. In this region, the
Barn burners-aided as they are by the

to have the advantage. The Silver Greys

division from the Wing party; but theiI
efforts will be Of little account, unless
more vigorous and well-sustained than al
present. The feud in the Democratic par

War In Europe.

The news by the Arctic on Sunday
leaves ho reasonable ground for doubt
that war between Russia and Turkey is al
ready commenced. The Turkish mantle. to
which we publish herewith, while modcr-
ate in its tone and guarded in its express
ions, proffers no alternative for hostilities
but the prompt, unqualified abandonment
of the Danubian Priucipalities by Russia;
ought to do, is very certainly what he will
not do. The diplomatists are busy over
their protocols ard notes, as usual, and
the stockholders are eagerly ccnjuring up
a loop to hang doubt upon" but these
amount to nothing in the face of the
Turkish Manifesto and its reported re-
ception by the Gar, who Immediately and
emphatically declared that thePorte should
have the war it cour.ed, and that this
should be war of life or death.
The best accounts represent the Turkish
Army as not only formidable in numbers
but indomitable in spirit, and excellently
provided with every requisite to efficiency.
Whatever may be the ultimate issue of the
struggle, there is no probability that the
Russians can pass the Balkan before next
July; even should they be able to throw
back their determined enemy from the
line of the Danube There is therefore
ample time for the Democratic spirit OF
Europe to manifest itself before CONSTANT
nople can be seriously menaced. Austria
may indeed espouse openly the cause Of
her Sclavonic master; but this will onl,
tend to precipitate the grand explosion
This war appears destined to make a deepe
impression on the destiny of mankind thai
any former since Tribune.

Death of General Childs.

The telegraph announces the death OF
Brevet Brigadier Gen. THOMAS CHILDs,
which occurred at Tampa Bay on the 9th
instant, of yellow fever. He entered the
service in 1914 from West Point as I'd
Lieutenant of the lst Ref. Artillery, was
a native of Massachusetts,, and held the
linear rank of Major in his regiment,
For gallant services in Mexico he was bre-
yeted Oct. Il, 1S47. As soon as our diff
iculties with Mexico broke out, he was
with General Tay lor on the frontier, and
as commander of the artillery participated
in the battles Of Palo Alto and Resaca de
Ia Palma. In the storming of Monterey
with his regulars and the volunteers from
Texas he did most effective service.
When the plan of the Mexican Campaign
was changed, he landed at Vera Cruz
with Gen. Scott, was with his Regiment
at Cerro Gordo, and advanced with the
Notorious army as far as Puebla. Of this
place he was made Governor, and did not
go forward to the capital Many compan-
les of the two Regiments of Pennsylva-
Lila Volunteers were under his command
at Pucbla, and became much attached to
him. He was gallant and chivalric off
icer, and his death leaves a vacancy in the
service which cannot easily be filled with
equal experience and bravery.
