The Portsmouth Tribune thus
speaks of the falling of tho fine eus'
pension bridge over the Scioto at that
place:
Upon repairing to the spot we found
the structure in ruins, and the angry
waters of the swollen river dashing
over the fragments with resistless Jury.
Phe pier on this side had fallen, and
taken with it the entire work. In the
fall the bridge had turned over, and
the floor, timbers and cables lay in Il
broken, tangled mass Of ruins.
The pier had been built upon piles,
driven from ten to fifteen feet below
the bed Of the river. But the river
runs over bed Of fQuicksand at this
place, and the foundation into which
the piles had been driven was cut
away by the current, until the heavy
masonry yielded TO the pressure and
finally fell. The river is not high,
but the rise was sudden, aud the cur.
rent, as the Scioto approaches the
Ohio, is very swift. The pier was
discovered to be in danger about eight
O'Clock this morning. A number OF
persons had crossed, ard others ven,
tured over, Notwithstanding several
hundred persons on this side walnei
them not to attempt coming over --
Two men came partly over just before
the bridge fell. One was named
William ohawley, and worked for Mr..
William Ashton, in this city; the 9th
er's name was Stephen Smith. He
lived over the liver, or Dry Run, anC
had been recently married. They We're
cautioned not to come over, and went
back, but again vcntured, and again
returned. Finally they started over
the third time, in spite Of all caution,
and when about midway, the bridge
went down. They were both buried
beneath the ruins, and not seen alter.

Pixies Peak Emigration.

The Milwaukee fWis.) Sentinel saysit is
now settled that several hundred working
men ara shortly to. leave Grant county in
that State for the new gold discoveries, with
as many horses, twice as many oxen, and
three times as many COWS and beef cattle
in all, about 5000 humans, horses and cat
tie. which will average 90 head from each
town in the county, with corresponding
supply of wagons. clothing, and money.
The general impression is. that two-thirds
of the population of the State of Wisconsin
will leave this spring for the gold regions.
We learn from New Orleans paper, that
citizens are preparing to leave in large num-
bers throughout the Southern States. The
Mississippi Valley will turn out full dele
cation of hardy pioneers. In, the Eastern
and Central States the same feeling prevails.
The Toledo Times says the Pixies Peak
boys, bound off from that neighborhood are
very industrious about these days. As ma
ny as fifty in all will leave this city within
the coming thirty days, If 1OO. 800 men
should go to Pike s. Peak this season (which
is probable, from all sections of the Union,
it will take the snug little sum of 81. .OOO,.
600 to furnish them fitting out ct $500
per head. which is light estimate.
