I+The Chicapo Tribune of Fril.,

says that the railroad bridge over the Mis-
siosippi, at Rock Island, is so far completed
that IA locomotive passed over il on thai

b ats 10 pass has been the chief difficulty
Of this the Tribune says:
Il is believed that a great success has
been accomplished--that no obstruction at
all material in lis character has been put in
the way of steamers passing up and down,
and that no bridge can be safer for the
passage Of trains. The "draw" rests upon
a center pier of SO feet diameter at the top,
and lis entire length is 29l feet in the clear

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intel!igsncsr, extracting approvals Of
the idea Of holding an Old Line Wing conven-
tion in Louisville, from various Wing journals,
heartily endorses the resolutions adopted by
the Wings of W ashington on Saturday night
last, and contends that when the principles of
the Wing party die out, the end of the Repub
lie will be at hand
The Union is profuse with compliments of
the able speech Of Senator Evans, delivered
yesterday, upon the Kansas question, calling
public attention to an incident connected with
the domestic slave trade, narrated by Senator
T.; wherein brother of Senator Sumner is
alleged to have played a conspicuous part, in
deed, and anything but a reputable one, as a
separator of husband and wife, for what he
could make by so doing over the selling price
Of the family sold together. Senator Evans's
reason for narrating the affair is to be
found in Senator Summers denunciation of
the South for indulging in the practice.
The Union also discusses the present politi-
cal labors of Col. Benton, showing that his OBJ
ject in protesting to be for the election Of Bu-
chsnan and Breckinridge is only the better
to enable him to injure them. The editor
completely exposes the entire want of good
faith in the COlonels present political posi-
ton We have no idea that he can succeed
in defeating the Democratic electoral ticket in

rent While in his current speeches from the
stump Tin Missouri) he says nothing against
the Republicans or Know Nothings or their
respective causes, no abuse of the Democrats
and their cause to which he can lay his tongue
Is too virulent to be resOrted to. Yet he usually
winds up by proclaiming that he supports

Reception Of Mr.. Fillmore in New York

Reception Of Mr.. Fillmore in New York.
The steamer Atlantic was signalled at 10
o'clock, Sunday night, coming up the New
York harbor.
When the steamer fired her gun at Quaran-
tine, responsive salute was given from the
dock, in pursuance of the arrangements. The
noise Ct the loud and rapid discharges brought
large number Of citizens from all parts of the
city to the spot, notwithstanding the lateness
of the hour.
The Atlantic reached her landing about half
after IL o'clock, and Mr.. Fillmore was well
com ed with any quantity of hearty cheers.
The Committee Immediately proceeded on
board, and found Mr.. Fillmore in the cabin.
He looked in excellent health, and somewhat
Drowned by his extensive foreign travels.
AT d few minutes after midnight, Mr. Briggs
addressed Mr.. Fillmore on behalf of the Al
dermen's Committee Of Reception
He welcomed him in the name of the city of
New York and Of the Union, congratulatipg
him that he had passed through the dangers
of land and sea in safety, AID returned in
health and happiness to his native land
Above all, he rejoiced in predicting that Mr..
Fillmore would return to the White House,
and concluded by depicting the benefits of
ns prospective administration.
Mr.. Fillmore, in reply, said that this unex-
pected but fiattering reception from the city
of New York, and from his native State, filled
him with gratitude. Although he had been
absent from the country for so long time, he
had never ceased to think and act as an Amer
lean citizen. 1t did not become him to speak
of his past administration, which had passed
into history but he would promise, should
be be again elevated to the Presidency, a.
faithful administration of the Constitution of
the country, and to the whole country If
there be any persons who desire an admins
tration for the North against the South, or
the South against the North, he was not the
candidate to whom they should give their suf.
frages. He knew only his country, his whole
country, and nothing but his country
LIE remarks were frequently interrupted
with cheers.
Mr.. Fillmore was then escorted to the car
riage provided for his reception, and was
taken to the st. Nicholas Hotel accompanied
by the several committees and preceded by a
long procession Of his friends and admirers
marching five abreast. Upon his arrival at
the hotel, he appeared at the balcony and
made short speech in response to the de-
mands Of the crowd.
