A RAILROAD TRAIN AT SEA.-A correspon-
| pondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing
from on board the cars of the Ohio and Mis-.
souri, Railroad, west of Vicennes, May ID,
| gives description Of a somewhat novel kind
Of rallroading. He says:
"On crossing the bridge of tue Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad, at Vicennes, the travel
Ter westward witnesses novel sight in rail-
reading. Before him is a lake 1.-THE Wabash
valley oyeraowed) over six miles wide, and
longer than the eye can reach. Across this
sea the train runs on a trestle work that
sticks out just four inches above the top of
the water. Nothing is seen on its broad sur
face save these two iron rails, around which
the waters eddy and whirl, and dash madly
against the slender frame, which seems to
tremble under their force. On every side are
eddies, carrying trees, &c., round and round
These soon make your head swim, and you
feel that the trestle-work is certainly moving;
the bottom seem to be undermined, and is
moving; while the top is tipping over against
the current, and you expect every moment to
hear the splash of the train going down into
the sea. But it don't go, and there is no dan
ger, frightful as it looks.
But now we come to place that really
seems fearful. We are in the middle of the

sight of land-nothing but waste of waters
on every side of that long, solitary railway
train; we leave the straight line, and go
curying southwark like snakes track. Why?
Simply because the food has carried the tres
tle-work away from its straight course and
left it in zig-zag line Cand half upset, at
that.) some distance below where it originally
stood.
So badly upset was this trestle work, that
in some places the rail on one side was two
feet lower than on the other, and it seemed
as though it wanted only the weight of the
train to throw it entirely down. The lower
rail had, however, been taken up, and tim
bers placed on that side to bring it up as
high, and in some cases little higher than on
the other, so as to throw most of the weight
on the upper side. 1t was also braced up and
stayed as well as could be done in the present
state of the flood.
On this half overturned, racked, and tot
tlish looking trestle work, our train crept
cautiously along A railroad train out at sea,
with iron enough about it to anchor it safely
at the bottom, and creeping along on shaky
trestle work, that the engineer is afraid to Jar
for fear he may jar it down."
