We had the qualification of seeing,
on Saturday the 10th Of April inst,
the first cylinder which has been
sunk in the Great Pee Dee River,
being the commencement of the
work Of erecting the iron columns to
support the Railroad bridge. This
cylinder was sank by atmospheric
pressure and is the first that has been
employed for bridge building, in the
United States. The result is perfec-
tly satisfactory to the engineers en-
gagged, and TO all persons who have
witnessed it.
The road is progressing rapidly to
completion, and this magnificent and
useful work will be finished through
the entire line of 1853 miles, from. vii
mington to the junction of the Wa

+ INDEPrNDENr ORDER OF ODD FELLows. While 9TH
er associations have received their due need of praise
for their exerti0ns In the cause of suffering humane
ty this noble and philanthropc Order has not been
mentioned, so far as our observation has extended.
The Order of Odd Fellows in New Orleans numbers
some two thousand members avery large proportion
OF whom are men of families, having wives children
and relatives depending upon them for protection
and support OF course, In the sweeping and terri
BILE epidemic that has prevailed city for the
past two three months the Order has not escaped
1t has suffered severely Some of its noblest purest
and best have fallen victims to the rehd DESTROYER
But to the eternal honor of the Order be it said
that no Odd Fellow has been compelled to ask assis
lance outside of his own Order, from any quarter
whatever Odd Fellows wife has needed any other
attendance of nursing than that which was provided
with the utmost alacrity no Odd Fellows child has
been permitted to suffer. All affectonately and
attentivey nursed and cared for and those who died
were buried decently and respectfully, and with all
due honor.
Neither have the philanthropic workings of the
Order been confined to members within its i'm
mediate jurisdiction. 1t has been called upon to pro-
vide for and to inter transient brethren from almost
every quarter of the compass. The duties devolvng
upon it have been faithfully fulfilled. There has
been no Sinking of responsibility, no lodging of
fatigue, no evasion of duty. They were members of
a great and noble brotherhood whose motto is
Friendship, Love and TRUTH" and like brothers,
were all Seduously attended to.
Of course, under circumstances like these, the ex
penses have been very large, almost oppressively
heavy; but they have been, and will be- borne with
out murmuring
We are, however, much pleased in being able to
state that the attention of Odd Fellows in other parts
of the country has been aroused to the state of things
existing among the Order here, and that assistance
has been promptly forthcoming The amount re-
ceived are: $50 from Franklin Lodge Wheeling Va;
5000 from Cincinnati Lodge, No. 8; 800 from Eagle
Lodge, No. 100, Cincinnati; $50 from Metropolitan
Lodge, Cincinnati. We also understand that $500
have been received from Mississippi and handed over
to the officers of the Grand Lodge.
AS an editor we take the liberty of suggesting to
the members of the Order throughout the United
States that if they feel disposed to aid their distress
ed brethren in this city, they forward their contri-
buttons at once to the address of the General Relief
Committee. Neao Orleans Bulletin.

CONDITION OF THE FUGITIVE SLAVES IN CANADA
The Editor of the Dundee On. Y.) Record has late
ly been making tour through Canada in the course
of which he visited large number of fugitive slaves
at their residences, and conversed freely with them
on their position and prospects. The tone of their
remarks generally that of disappointment at the
reception with which they had met, and the estima
ton in which they were held in the country where
they were sojourning. They had been led to sup
pose by the abolition nstigators of their escape from
servitude, that in the British provinces they would
izens with the same rights and and advantages So
cal and political, enjoyed by the other in
habtants. This they found not to be the case but
the contrary, they experienced ndignities greater
than any they had ever met with the States whece
they had fled. Besides the climate was ungenial to
their tropical tastes and habits and their neghbors
neglected opportunity of taking advantage of their
ignorance for the purpose of fraud and imposition.
Altogether their situation was the reverse of desr,
able. The editor of the Record adduees the follow
ing as instances of the general feeling of regret at
the unsatisfactory change that their escape to Cana
da had brought in their condition:
"Three declared that were it not fear of punish
ment, by being sold to Texas and Mississippi slave
dealers they would gladly return to their old plan
tations, and spend the remainder of their days with
lived easier than they do now. Two others had been
in Canada from five to ten years-had bought land,
and were doing well in raising truck for market.
One expressed his determination to return to his
miss in North Carolina soon as he could get mo
ney to do So and the risk of punishment but as
he had got friend to write to his mistress asking
pardon and begging for passage ticket home, he
felt in hopes he should get back to the Old North
State before cold weather set in.
