1.-The clover upon the ground was in
bloom, and, altogether, the garden, in its
aspects and associations, was better calcu-
lated than any place know, to soothe a
troubled spirit. Eight venerable trees, iso-

ones which skirt the pass of the Mount OF
Olives. form consecrated grove. High

UREAT SUSPENSION BRIDeE.-A suspen-
sion bridge is in process of construction
over the Ohio river at Cincinnati. under
the superintendent of Mr.. j. A. Roebling,
the architect of the Niagara suspension
bridge. The charter was granted some
wears ago, by the legislatures of Ohio and
kentucky, but it was not until recently that
subscriptions of stock could be secured to
make beginning. Some enterprising men
have procured $780, 600, and will probably
Issue bonds for rs much more, which will
complete the bridge. The towers, of which
oosn foundations are now laid, eighty-six
by fifty two feet at the base, will be two
hundred and thirty feet high, and one thou
sand and six feet apart. The cables will
De anchored three hundred feet back on
each side of the river, pass ever the tops
OF the towers. and thus be made to sustain
the weight of the bridge. The entire span
vii. therefore be sixteen hundred and six
ieet-a little short of one-.hird of mile.
The elevation of the floor at the middle
above low-water mark will be one hundred
and twenty-five feet. The great flood of
1852--the highest on reoord-rose sixty
two feet above low:water; and making al
lowance even for this, there viii remain six
ty feet, which is considerable more than
will be required for the highest steamboat
pipes on the river. The highest grade o.
ascent on either side will be seven feet in
one hundred, and the strength of the bridge
Will be equal to everything but a railroad
train The foundations were begun on the
lst OF September, and the whole structure
will be completed in three years frorn that
time

Important Letter from the President.
We publish 6eiow, from the Washington Union,
the correspondence which has recently taken place
between certain ministers of the Gospel of the State
of Connecticut and President Buchanan, in relation
to Kansas affairs
The President no doubt reflected carefully before
replying to these clerical gentlemen; and from our
knowledge Of and confidence in his discretion and
judgment, we must conclude that he had good rea-
sons for the he has adopted in thus replying,
and in causing his reply to be made public.
The Presidents letter is calm dgnifed patriotic,
and in every respect worthy of the man and of the
high source from which it proceeds 1t is all that
Just and far-minded persons could desire and it
ought silence not only Northern fanatics, but the
few ulras of the South who have been questioning
