A BRIDGE ACROSS FEATHER RIvER-Bv
reference to our advertising columns, it viii be
seen that we have a good prospect of soon
having a Bridge across Feather River at this
place. Uncle Ben B.iyen. who IS an old resi-
dent Of Bidwell, and familiar V th the wants
of the business community, an1 the import
ance of this route to the upper country, has
given notice that he will apply the Court of
Sessions for license to erect :. Toll Bridge
at this point.
1t will also be seen that Messrs Fall, Mar
ray and others, also give notice that they Will
apply to the District Court OF this county for
the privilege of dong the same thing at the
same place 1t may truly be considered a
safe and profitable investment, to whoever
succeeds in obtaining the privilege Of erecting
the bridge prize worthy the contest of
capitalists. Whoever proves the successful
party, we wish them speedy completion of
the enterprise. The erection Of good and
substantial Bridge at this point, will be an
important step towards bringing the advant-
ages of this route before the people of north
ern California in their true light, and grand
move in favor of the contemplated line OF
stages to the American Valley. We hope to
see both in successful operation another sea-
son.

From rEcho Universal (the Hague) of Aug. 30
THE CASE OF CAPT. GIBSON.

The affair of Captain Gibson, far from sub
siding, appears on the contrary, TO have en-
tered phase of a more serious character. This
We are led to infer, at least, from recent facts
that have come to our knowledge and which,
in the present state of the question, we do not
believe that we ought to withhold from the
public.
The American Government would appear to
occupy itself in an especial manner with the
claim of Mr. Gibson. A few days ago, Mr.. A.
Dudley Mann, Assistant Secretary of State at
Washington, arrived at Paris, and was about
to proceed directly for the Hague; bat, upon
further reflection, he has decided, instead of
coming himself to send a teiegraphic commu-
nication to Mr.. Belmont, requesting him to
proceed to France, in order to receive new in
structions. We are furthermore assured that
Mr. Mann is not satisfied with the manner in
which MIR. Belmont has managed the case,
aud that he blames him for not having OBJ
served more explicitly the positive instructions
of the State Department, that he should de-

however good-natured no may be, to read in

81 cents per bushel, and of apples at 81 per

whilst in this city, surrounded by large agri-

ples-being at the rate of five dollars per bar

apples are sold in that vicinity, by contract for

The Meredith Bridge IN. H. Democrat is in
formed that the price of potatoes has fallen to
two shillings bushel. These vegetables are
still growing in that region, with green vines.
