WIRE SUSPENSION BRIDGE-THE CHoI..
ERA.-We have been favored by friend
in this city with an extract from letter
dated Nashville, June s. which gives an ac-
count of the destruction of the wire suspen-
bridge at that city
On the evening of the 18th, as a loaded
wagon, drawn by two horses, and acccmpa-
MED by four persons. was crossing over it.
the bridge fell, carrying The people, horses
and wagon with it into the river. The four
persons. as well as the horses. were killed
by the fall. and the bridge is total wreck
We believe this bridge stood at an elle,a-
tion of from eighty to one hundred feet above
low water mark. The same extract informs
us that there were many cases of cholera at
Nashville. and much alarm was felt hv the
citizens on account of it. 1rue DeLtu.
