AN IRoN BRiDos.-The method adopt
ed for bridgng the Great Peedee River,
Oh the WILMINGTON and Manchester
Rail Road, is worthy ol remark, as
showing another purpose TO which iron
may be extensively applied. The work
presented great difficulties, partly on
account Of the lreshes TO which the river
is liable, and from other causes but it
is now in vigorous prosecution. The
piers for the Bridge, are composed Of
large hollow cylinders OF cast IRON nine
teen feet in circumference. their bases
are sunk many feet into the bed OF the
river by exhausting the air from within
them, by the method known as the
Pneumatic process, for forming founda-
tions. The cylinders are filled with
concrete, and thus form hills OF great
strength and permanenry. The cylin-
ders were cast in this city and their
aggregate weight is nearly three hum
dred Ions ~. Y. Cou, and Eng.

in witch this was said, and the manner,
looks, &c. Of the Governor were so arls-
tocrutic, that the pure Democratic
blood OF Rouse was ra ised in an instant,
for as they were always boon friends
