SO, or subscribe $40 to toll bridge.
All such subscriptions to be handed to
the county Auditor on or before the
FIRST Monday in March, 1856, that the
Board of Commissioners may act IN the
premises as shall appear past and con-
-sistent. The subscriptions for a free
bridge will be received in good faith 20
be paid if the bridge shall be built with
in the time the Commissioners may
prescribe for its completion. As regards
a toll bridge the proposed subscription
will be taken up to elicit what could be
done and to have whereon to decide
whether the preliminary measures
should be taken and the work commen-

Ho! for a bridge at Williams Mill
To all who realize the inconvenience oi
our not having bridge across Raccoon
creek near Williams Mill we make the
following suggestions. And first that
each and every one of us deliberately
estimate the value, to ourselves indi-
vidually, of good bridge at the above
named place. The safety Of crossing,
at high or low water. by day or night,
should be considered, in our estimate,
and whenit is fairly made, note down
the amount in dollars and cents, and
each resolve that thus much, will give
towards good permanent bridge As
opinions differ, as to place and manner
of construction, we propose for the site
of the bridge, the ripple below the
mill, where the little dam used to be.
We suggest that written agreement,
signed by the contributors of two thirds
Of the funds subscribed, may change
the place Of the bridge, and that, the
brioge be built above the milIdam. The
plan, of construction, is to build a sub
stantial abutment of good stone, at the
north bank Of the creek-and a perma-
nent and substantial stone pier, ninety
or one hundred feet span therefrom, in
the creek-on which pier and abutment
the main part of the bridge will be cree
ted. The model of the bridge to be
after the lower bridge across Chicka-
moga at Gallipolis. The continuance
of the bridge, from the pier to bank at
south end to be common frame bridge,
and also, the north end if necessary
1t has frequently been tried to make up
BY subscription enough to build bridge,
and as often failed from want of concen-
trated views in the matter. In the pres
ent case, two ways are proposed. The
first is to build free bridge, by free
contribution, and whatever the county
Commissioners will grant. The second
plan is, to build toll bridge, obtain a
charter reserving the right to the coun-
ty to buy the bridge, and render it a
free bridge. The ascertaining of the
that would be given or rath-
er say subscribed) to either kind of
bridge, free, or toll; let some interested
citizens take up subscriptions somewhat

. THE LATE ELEcr1oss.-The elections

TIE LATE ELEcTIoEs.-The elections
in NewjYork, Massachusetts, and Mary
land have resulted in decided victorie:
by the American party. What has be-
come to be known as the Republican
party, was thoroughly organized in New
York aud Massachusetts,, and supposed
By its friends 10 be inyincible. The
leaders in this so called Republican party
Ewho are no other than the restless un-
easy demogogues who have heretofore
led on the freesoil abolition column
must be satisfied that this last dodge
has proved failure. 1t manifests be-
yond all dispute that the people will ia
vor no organization in thecoming Presl-
Dental election of a sectional or geo.
graphical kind. The hopes Of accom-
plishing any thing but mischief by this
Republican party, with its declared hos
tility to the South, another fall are at
an end. But while those elections have
knocked the life out of sectionalIsm the
returns are by no. means fattering to
the administration party. Three years
ago Pierce carried New York, now with
the opposition divided into three or four
parties, his party is badly beaten. Ma
ryland too is now in opposition. There
never has been more fiattering pros
poets for the opponents of an admins
tration to succeed another year than
now. Yet with all this encouragement
the chance may, and we had almost
said, will probably be thrown away
The leaders Of the Republican move
ment seem determined to insist upon
drawing black marks across the country
and arraying one section against anoth-
er-of banding together on one idea
slavery. Such is the giving out of their
central organ, the National Era. There
san be no union between such a party
and the American party. We are not
without hope that thousands in our own
State, IN New York and all through the
North who have this fall lent aid and
comfort to this Republican movement,
but who in truth have no feelings in
common with sectional party, will re-
turn. and place themselves where they
can hOnorably and effectively oppose the
Pierce party.

R Congress will commence its next
session on the first Monday in December
next. Look out for rindy if not ac-
tually stormy session. The application
for admission to seats of the two dele
gates from Kansas will offer an excel
lent opportunity to introduce the slavery
questionable first fruits of the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise. Though
not fully understanding the merits of
the question involved in the controver-
sy between Whitfield and Reedsr, we
venture to predict that neither will be
admitted, but the whole matter referred
back to the people of the Territory
Such at least we believe ought to be
the disposition Of the matter. With the
slavery agitation and President making
there will be but little time left in long
session to devote to the real interests of
the country.

U. s. SEEATE.-We notice that pa
pers in different parts of the State are
proposing their favorites for this place.
Among othdrs Hon. JNo. WEIGH, of
Athens, has been named. We should
rejoice at his election. No man desc rves
better of the people of Ohio than Mr..
Welch. From the nsnber of names
presented we should Judge that the feel
ing for the election of new man to be
very strong. We hope it is so, and
that it will increase in strength, and f.
nally succeed-that Wade may be al
lowed to retire on the honors acquired in
this falls election. Any man that hates
the South as intensely as he says he
does ought not to BIZ allowed to go into
company where he will meet with
Southern gentlemen. That Maine speech
ought to politically kill and bury any
man.

THE ANTICIPATED MONEY Pressure IN
EURoPE.---We observe that some OF
our contemporaries fancy that Europe is
on the brink of great financial crisis
because the Bank of England has put up
the rate of interest to six per cent. This
is a heavy rae, but it has been heavier
within the past ten years. The reasons
for this advance seem to us obvious
enough, viz: desire to check the ten
dency to inordinate spcculations in
Breadstuffs, and prevent the export OF
specie in the Continent. These are OBJ
vious, sound and conservative reasons.
