drove away.
She had died that morning.
And she lies in her grave clothes now, dear
reader. Christ forgive those who coast the

other more as he loved us; give NJ faith
enough in our own virtue to make the belief
in that of others no impossibility!
remember the close of an eloquent invec-
tive which Father Taylor once Numbered
forth against superstition.
"Would could dig the grave Of this vice,
would dig it deep rs the abyss; would
roll stone against it large as creation-I
would sound its requiem with the trump of
the archangel Gabrielle
Would could dig the grave of SANDER !
dig it deep as the woe it has caused-let
the stone which sealed it be large as the mis-
chief it has done; and for requiem make felt
the silence which has taken the place Of song
in the deserted home of one whose voice, for

Telegra phic News.

New YORK, Nov.-The Times Washington
correspondent telegraphs that Senior Almote,
late Mexican Minister is 20 be transferred to
the London mission.
Adyices have been received at the War
Department from Gen. kearney, at Fort
Pierre, on the upper Missouri, where he had
just arrived from Fort Laramie. with ten
companies of infantry, and four of cavalry.
In his Journey he travelled distance of over
400 miles directly through the Sioux country
without meeting any Indians.
The guides report that the savages have all
gone north for the winter, so that the Indian
Campaign is at an end for tn present season.
The troops with Gen. kearney will winter
at TT. Pierre.
The Washington correspondent of the En-
quirer writes that much obscurity hangs
around The Mexican mission, aud indeed, our
relations with Mexico are somewhat eouiyo-
cal When stated on Wednesday that new
Minister was hourly expected by the specu-
La or IN the Santa Anna drafts there is no
proof that 81. MAndgo has been appointed,
ana learn upon good authority that legal
persons here having information on the sab
Ject, the statement that Gen. Comonfort had
resigned as Secretary of War is untrue, us

the government.

Tnx Gas WoRxs.--These buildings and
all the mechanical arrangements connected
with them necessary for the furnishing of
Gas, are rapidly approaching to completion.
We were out to the grounds day or two
since, and were surprised to see how much
had been accomplished in short space Of
time, and to find everything so far advanced.
There is scarcely doubt but they will be In
full operation by the LIST of January, and
considering that they had hardly commenced
work on the lst of September. it certainly
shows an extraordinary expedition for works
of this kind and magnitude. But potwith-
standing the short space of time within which
they will have been completed, nothing has
been sighted, and everything has been con-
structed in the most substantial and durable
manner, and for thoroughness and complete
ness in every department, there are no supe-
rior works of the kind, probably, in the Union.
And we are glad TO observe, also, that an eye
has been had to good taste and pleasant APP
pearances. The long front of the works
shows well from the streets opposite, and the
extra trouble and expense necessary TO rem
der them attractive to the eye, has not been
spared.

Rock ISLAND RAILROAD BRIDGE.- From
the Chicago Press Of the Goth we extract the
following account of the condition and pros
poets of this enterprise:
s'We took considerable pains to examine
the Rock Island Railroad bridge. 1t is en-
tirely finished over the slough, as is also the
track on the Island. The rails are soon 10
be laid across to the main stream. The cribs
on which the ends Of the tables are to rest
when the bridge is open are up and nearly
finished. The foundation for the central
stone pier is all down and the work is raised
nearly as high as the rivers surface. The
abutments are finished, as are all the piers
except two or three feet of stone remain to be
put on them and they will be completed. As
the contractor can now devote all his ener-
gies TO the central pier, it will be put up very
rapidly. The scafolding between the west
abutment and the hrst pier is all up, and we
saw the workmen putting in place the first
main cord of the bridge. The first span will
be completed during the present week. The
timber is nearly all framed, and no doubt ex-
lists that II will be completed in all during the
month of January
