II is with pleasure that We inform .,

II is with pleasure that WI inform our rea.
ders and the public, to-day, that the bridge at
Washington, is nov completed and ready fol
use. This is q contamination that has been
anxiously and impatiently wished, and waited
for, by our merchants and planters particular.
y, and the public generally ; the crossing, near
the bridge, where q temporary bridge had been
provided for the use Of the public during the
process of constructing the new one, had, since
the rains become SO bad, and we may say,
dangerous, that many of our planters delayed
sending their crops to the Steamboat Landing
until the completion of the new bridge. We
also take pleasure in connection with this an
nouncement, in saying, that the contractors,
Messrs> James Lyons and David Huson, have
acquitted themselves, in q latdable manner, of
their part of the contract ; having given us q
bridge which surpasses any other that we have
ever seen over the Grand Louis, in excellence of
material and solidity of construction.
The bridge would have been finished sooner,
we understand but for the heavy rains within
the last two months, which impeded the pro-
gress of the work considerably.

IS MRS. HoY'ss FEMALE AcApExY.-We beg
leave to call the attention Of our readers and Of
parents and guardians to the advertisement Of
Mrs. Hoy. in another column. The course Of
instruction, it will be seen, has been slightly
changed since the death Of Capt. Hoy, but the
classes and departments are yet sufficiently
numerous and varied for the acquisition Of
both, a useful and ornamental female education.
The patrons Of the school speak in the most
complimentary terms Of it's character, and the
proficiency Of the pupils, and from what we
have seen and heard, we are satisfied ourselves,
that there is no better school in this country,
or one more deserving the patronage Of the
public. The corps Of teachers now consists of
Mrs. Hoy, Miss Hoy and Nine. de st. Ange,
all Of whom are highly educated and accom-
plished ladies, and teachers of experience and
ability. With such a school at home, there is
no need of sending children abroad.

Yankee ingenuity has not yet, by any means
been exhausted. One of our NewYork OK

very latest diskivery;"
"The latest notion from the land of sboo.
pegs and wooden clocks, is an apparatus where.
by adies can manage their skirts while STEM.

while keep their hands to their pockets, The

underneath the dress, over which are rove

sides of the skirt, at about the height of the
knee. The other ends terminate in looms
which are led into the pockets on either side

MOBILE ELEcT1oN.-The municipal election
in Mobile on Mohday last was conducted with
the utmost order and regularity. The Adyer-
tiser publishes the official vote, and says:
OF the result yesterday, the American par-
y has reason to be proud-all things CON
sidered, it was the greatest triumph yet
achied by the party in Mobile. Our ticket
carried all before it, clecting Mayor, Council
men, Aldermen, every name on it carrying
every Ward III the City. Even the Bloody
Fifth" as it was wont to be called, which gave
q large majority against us in August, and
which has never been with US before, as a Ward
yesterday wheeled into line" and rolled up q
fine majority for our candidates. The Ameri-
San candidate for Alderman carried the Ward
by over eighty majority. It will be observed
that the vote is unusually small, only some
l740 III all, but that of this vote the Amcri-
cans got considerably more than two-thirds.
Withers, excess over Munroe the Anti-Ameri-
can candidate, is upward Of one hundred and
fifty more than all the votes Munroe received.
call this q pretty good days business-at
all events it finished Anti-Americanism here,
which is all our party set out to do.
The Register bewails the result in most
moving terms, and declares it "a CRYING shame
that in the commercial metropolis Of Alabama
the obnoxious principles Of this Order should
prevail"

SAM.-The NewYork Mirror thinlss-uo
matter what the foreigners and fusionists NAV
say OF do" Americans are bound to rule
America" 1t says:
1t is scarcely five years since we heard n bro-
zen.iaced demagouge threaten in the Park that
10000 Irishmen could be rallied within sound
Of the City. Hall bell. And also elsewhere
German bands clamored for German organiza-
ton, to impress German policy and IDEAS on
our government. Americanism, thus chal-
lensed, has risen to teach these Irishmen that.
as such they can have no quarter here, if thew
think to try their nationality in the scale
against ours. As Americans, we will meet and
treat them as brothers, and share with them
that they can fairly claim, but as for for
elgners putting their, strength against us-we
Will put them down. We have thepower, and
woe be to all who dispute the field with US.
Americans will rule America.

Prepayment Of Postage to be Made by
Stamps OOnly,

1t will be recollected that by the act of
March 3, 1855, requiring the postage on. all
letters not free sent by mail within the United
States, and from OR to foreign country, to be
prepaid, it was also enacted that from and after
january l, 1856, the Postmaster General
may require postmasters to place postage
stamps on all prepaid letters upon which such
stamps may not have been placed by the wri-
ter In view Of this fact the Union says
We learn that the Postmaster General has
decided to require postmasters to comply with,
ana carry into effect this provision of the law !;
and, if not already done, to supply themselves
with postage stamps accordingly by sending
their order for them to the Third Assistant
Postmaster General. Of course it is not in
tended nor expected that this regulation shall
throw upon postmasters the labor of afixipg
postage stamps to letters where the writers
might, without Inconvenience, have done it for
themselves tdsa m se YES. The main thing is for postmas-
that all persons having occasion to use nav
readily obtain them.

1t is said that a writing-mastcr of NewYork
has recently written, on one sheet of paper, the
whole of the Old Testament Excepting the
Chronicles, which are but repetitions of Sam
uel and Kings into one fancy-piece, which is
framed as a picture, covered witha large plate
glass. 1t is apparently a fine drawing Of the
front of a temple, but the lines, instead of be.
ing single marks, are lines of writing, so fine
as to need an eyeglass to read them, yet formed
with the most exquisite skill. The piece CON
tains 1854 lines, and looks like an engraving.
1t cost the writer the labor Of thirty-one
months.
