the Railroad bridge across the Mississip.
pl at this pom. is steadily progressing. =
This morning we noticed that the stone
work for the bridge from this city TO the
Island is all completed Blu. about five OF
six feet on the abutment adjoining the
city. There is strong force a, work on
that, and the contractor, John Warner,
ESQ., thinks it will be completed in about
two weeks, ready for the superstruc,ure.
The abutment on the Iowa shore for
the bridge across the main channel Of the
river will contain about 800 yards Of
masonry, 500 Of which is already laid !,
and the work progressing every day
No piers have been set in the main chan.
mel yet. but we learn from the contractor
that work would have been commenced
on the piers before this time. but for the

In publishing the details d The late
news iron Mexiee, the n. q. Pksys"s
remarks - follow:
We publish to day very foil extracts
from our Mexican Exchanges, which re-
veal very great s.aie Of social and po'
li,ical disorganization in that republic.
Santa Anna seems to remain lmpas'
.;ye in the Capital, the only sign OF lie
being the sending Of few troops against
the reyolu,ionists in Michoacan. The
press is nearly silent regarding the move
men,s of Alvarez, with the single e1'
prasion Of q hope Of his death, while
South and West seems to throw on It's
obedience to the present government.
In all the States OF the North, the In
dams are predominant, and in fucatan,
the government troops are unsuccesstui'
From Chihuahua, Governor Trias writes
that band Of 500 Camanches are pre-
pairing to pour into Durango, and that he
can do nothing to stop them.
In the midst of all this confusion, the
finances are represented TO be in most
Iamen,able state Of dilapidation, as pro.
hibilory laws and high tariff having drl.
ven commerce from her ports, and dried
up that source Of revenue, while the ab.
sencc Of all security in the country rem.
ders the internal taxes unproductive and
exceeding difficult Of collection. The
money from the Gadsden treaty Is the
only hope Of the government, and it is
said that fully one half Of this has been
been obtained from the bankers, at large
rates of discount, and already expen'
ded. -..
This is a sad state Of affairs TO be con-
templa,ed as the position Of civilized
nation, and we shall not be surprised L
hear at any moment that the whole eoun
try has broken into revolutionary life.
