We yesterday evening visited Brazos
city, for the purpose of seeing the pro-
rrcSs that has been made upon the
bridge. 1t is finished, with the track
laid upon it to the first pier, 140 feet.

them in constructing the span across
the bed of the river. This span will
be 200 feet, and probably the greatest
in the South. There are forty effective
hands at work on the bridge, and we
have been assured that it will be fin
ishcd in about six weeks. From all the
evidences presented to US, it will be a
remarkably strong structure.
