mMud-siII,, Hammond.

The following hit at Senator Hammond OF
Sopth Carolina, who in his celebrated slavery
speech stigmatized the mechanics and labOrrng
men of the Free Strtes as the "mud-sills of
society" is strictly legitimate
The history of Hammond, it seems, Is quite
a common one. Forty or fifty years ago his
father emigrated to South Carolina, from Wealth
ersfield, in the State of Connecticut. taking with
him a schooner load of onions, box OF hoah
Welster's spelling books, and box of ambition
and talent. The elder Hammond wed his on
ions, ions taught school for thosS who bought his MS
spelling spell books, bought niggers" and stocked
4 plantation. The younger Hammond soon
ie,rne5 to show his zeal for the South, and
married the sister of Wade Hampton, the
iaTges, STAKEHOLDER in the State. Thus placed
in the line Of safe preeedents, he became
member of Congress and Senator. This IS the
nan who speeTs at the white laborers of the
North. of whom his own father was one, as
"white slaves" and 'mud-sills.'

The Victoria Bridge, Montreal

This great work has been pushed forward SO
theoretically that the bridge will probably be
opened for traffic in October, 1859, instead of
Jan. I, 1860, in accordance with the contract
terms. The past season 3,2sl men were EN-
ployed in its construction, including 45O men
emplovcd at the Canada Works, Birkenhead, IN
making the tubes. Five steamers, 63 barges'
81 scows, and u ferry and row boats l42
horses, 3 locomotives, II pumping, hosting and
stationary engines, , rivet making machines,
aud riyeting machines, were employed on the
work
The total. length of the Bridge over the st,
Lawrence is two miles. less $50 feet 1t is iron
and tubular, ard consists Of 23 spans of 242 feet
each, and one in the centre of $50 feet. 1he
spans alc terminated one each side by cause
ways terminating in abutments of solid mason
ry, alO feet long and 80 feet wide. The north
ern causeway is 400 feet long, and that on
the south 700 feet. The bridge is being built
for the use of the Grand Trunk Railway through
Canada When completed, it will be the g.
panlic work Of the continent.

We believe there is no doubt in the minds OF
persons informed upon the subject, that the ar
rangements are now complete, and that the
Road is TO be constructed without delay
Sncb is rHg FACT, as certain as any future fact
can be.
We met at Cincinnati, last week, siessrs.
Kennard and Train, the gentlemen who have
recently traversed the entire route, and exam
jned its difficulties, the capabilities OF the line
the resources for railroad purposes along the
route. and thedispOsition of the people as to its
completion. After frequent and unreseTv ed
conversations with Messrs. KeRnard and Tram
upon the subject, we are warranted IN saying
that their report to the capitalists who sent
tbam will be most favorable. The negotiations
of Gen. Ward in Europe are finally closed and
consummated. Nothing remains but the work,

and prosecuted until another Train passes over

brakeman on a coal train on the Cleveland anu
Pittsburgh Railroad, was killed on oaturuIy
morning last, about two miles south oil AIN
ance.
The first that was discovered OF the accl-
dent was, that the car nearest the engine was
off the track. Upon examination, it was 1ounu i'
that the cause of the ear being OIL the tracA'
was the fact that the brakeman had fallen uh-
der it, in such a manner as to produce Une
above mentioned result-though Just no" II
happened will never be known. The OoIy was
horribly mutilated. One of his arms and other
portions of his person were reduced 10 com
