GnEAT Wmr BmDGg--It Is known that
there is no regular bridge communication n
cross the Potamac between tho District and
Alexandra. A proposition for the erection Of
an immense wire suspension bridge has just
been submitted to the corporation Of George
town by Charles EIlct Esq, civil engineer.
The bridge Mr.. Elct proposes is ,cire s0s
pension Jyidge Of such size aud weight as to be
competent to tho uses OF ruilroad Us well as
ordinary travel. This distance Mr.. Ellcl pro-
poses to span with single arch. declining TO
to use The granite rocks which lie IN the river
ia the line Of tue proposed structure. The cost
of this structure he sets down al 1927 $40 but
says thai if the bridge be divided into'wo spans
by a per on the aforesaid rocks, the cost would
be only $4,000. THIS bridge he states
would be four times heavier and souter and
therefore four times stronger, than the Wheel.
ing suspension bridge (ofwhlch Mr. Ellct y as
construetor,) and would more than sustain the
pressure or weight OF two loco
motive engines with their tenders, forty loaded
freight cars, one hundred loaded corts on The
carriage ways. and one hundred horses; enough
to occupy thobridge from end to end, and IN
al amounting 10 six hundred Ions weight.

is organizing in New York. The object is
to provide II substantial six feet guagc road
from New York TO the Pacific Ocean, running
through st. Louis, Missouri, Arkansas, Tex
as Northern Mexico and California. The
estimated cost is $l00OO0,00O, which is to
be the capital of the Company. 1t is said
that thirteen Of the most responsible contrac-
tors of the United States have offered to
build 100 miles each, on the route above dc
scribcd, and to take in payment fifty per cent
cash, twenty-five per cent. in the bonds OF
the Company, and twenty-five per cent. in its

c-f5" The latest adrices from Europe re-
port that the Eastern difficulty remained in
staiu quo. Notwithstanding the fact that
both the Sultan and Gar had promised to
accept the terms Of the negotiations drawn
up BY the other four great powers, it is quite
evident that considerable uncasncss was felt
in some quarters for fear that the peaceful
promises would not be carried out. Even
should this affair be amicabiy arranged, it is
possible that Austria may in turn push her
claims against Turkey to such an extent as
to eventually involve the different nations in
4 general war.

FROM WASHINGTON CITY.

WAsHIyGToy, August 20, lSj3.-The news.
papers have been filled with assertions and
contradictions in regard to the appointment
of the Hon. John a. Dix rs Minister TO France
and your readers will undoubtedly feel inter-
ested to know what the truth Of the matter
is As have access to sources of inlOrma-
ton not open to al-perhaps not to any 9TH
er correspondent-and rs | know how pre-
ciscly the matter stands, | shall be able to
crafty their curiosity, and they can rely alb
so!utc!y upon the i0l.owin. statement Of
tcts:
When General Dix accepted his present
post of Assistant Treasurer, it was for the
purpose of healing the party divisions in the
State Of New York. and with the distinct and
definite understanding and arrangcmcnt-to
which the President himself, and every men,
Der of his cabinet, was fully committcd-that
Gen. ID. should hold the place of Assistant
Treasurer only temporarily, and that in good
time he should exchange it for the mission to
France.
But the idea of 4 leading trecsoilcr being
appointed to an important foreign mission
was not rclislicd ut all by the nationals, and
IN opposition general, powerful and unrclcnt-
ing, has kept the President in fever about it
ever since the proposcdappointment was first
announced. Some symptoms OF Welding on
the part of Gen. Pierce served to lash the
previously violent storm Of opposition into
perfect fury, and the President came 10 the
clusion that he must do something to cXtri.
cate himself from his awkward dilemma. and
Il gcntcel and graceful backing ont appears TO
have commended itsclf,o his alignment us the
most feasible means Of escape.
Accordingly. 4 rosc.sccntcl and elegant
epistIc was despatched from the White House
inviting him to come and see the President.
A few days brought Gen. Ds response. lie
should be very happy Nhis is the substance
of what he wrotc) TO accept the polite invi
tation of the President, if it were only posi-
bic But the duties of Wis Office were0f
sence. lie ID nx leave nine millions of
dollars in the care of deputies and clerks
He had never felt ut liberty to absent himself
for single hour from his place when the Of
flee was open. He added, however, that no
one knew better than the President how dis
tasteful to him were his present official du-
ties, and how reluctantly he assumed them.
and that whenever the President would re-
lieve him from them he should be happy to
accept his invitation to visit Washington.
When Gen. Pierce read this answer he saw
at once he had got wolf by the ears, and
to hold on orlet 90 was equally dangerous.
He has found dealing with the trecsocrS Il
pretty critical business, and will probably be-
ware in tuturc.-Cor. ~ Y. NraM.
