Coon By, OLD BRIDGE.-Our old familiar
trap, the Pine street bridge, by the assistance of
4 humane crow-bar, went down with a clash on
Friday last, leaving void of some seventy feet
which, we fear, the city will never fill. By this
operation a great gulf lies between Piety Hill
and the city almost as impossible as that sup
posed to intervene between Dives and the rich
man in the parable. Practical secession is in
augurated among the benign residents of Piety
Hill, and whenever tax -gatherer shall feel it
incumbent upon him to pay that part of the
city visit, it will be an unlucky day for him,
VIC have faith to believe. The secessionists on
the south side of Deer Creek construc the smoke
at the Nevada Foundry as an insult to them and
if persisted in a sufficient cause for hostiities
Our ultimatum is the surrender of the foundry
and the Baptist church into the hands of the
secessionists, recognition of our right to the
possession of the entire court house and county
hospital, and to be allowed to do rs we please
without lot hindrancs. If we can't be al
lowed our demands, and if we can't whip the
larger part of the city, well make mouths at it
any how.
