1.-THE Mayor pro tenn. asked his intentions in
relation to the railroad bridge. The answer was
at first declined but afterwards in conversation
he stated that he did not desire the destruction
ofthe bridge il he was not interfered with; that
he would permit the train to run up to this
side Of the bridge with provisions, which must
be carried from there TO town in vehicles. The
train would not be permitted to run TO town, and
no communication whatever should be held by
water.
"Commander Reushaw stated, in conclusion

nothing and departed,

The Hand OF God.

As nation, the hand of God has touched us.
The sun of our Indian summer looks down on
scenes of carnage and desolation, the breezes
quiver with the roar of battle, and the autumn
leaves rustic under the tread of hosts rushing in
to strife. North or South, there are few kind
reds whose blood has not been shed, few homes
where tear-dimmed eyes do not rest sadly on
vacant places. Fear and doubt are in our pub
lie places-wailing by our hearth-stones. The
hand of God has touched us.
viii it ever be lifted? God visits nations
sometimes in wrath, sometimes in mercy, now
shattering them as an earthen vessel, now puri-
flying them as wheat is cleansed from chaff.-
Has He come to us to purge or destroyf History
teaches us that God never destroys a nation un-
less the whole mass is 50 corrupted that rem
ovation is new creation.
The Jewish empire and the Roman empire
are instances in which annihilation was needed
and was brought about. We hope and pray
that our country is not. The mass OF our peo-
pie Is not corrupt. The great body of our pop
ulation, represented better in our armies thar
elsewhere, love justice, endure privations, ant
follow guidance Ia defense Of what they think
is right. The million soldiers now rallied
around the old flag. prove this, and the hosts o
poor fellows who followed Bragg, barefooted
across the Cumberland Mountains, and thos'
that are shivering by the Blue Ridge areunt
Lee, demonstrate that selfshness and corrup
ton have not spread through the masses Of tn
American people, either North or South.
But the people have been proud and careless
and have forgotten God. They have follOwet
their caprices and exalted those who fattere'
them into power. They have deserved to b
betrayed by their leaders and have been betray
ed. They have shut their eyes upon corruption
and allowed plunderto become the fashion. S
pride was pampered and Judgment forgotten

Beautiful State of Affairs tn the OOHRcd.
CRAZE Capitol.
From the Richraond Examiner, Oct. 80, 1854 !,

From the Richmond Examiner, oet.So 1ee3. =
The police government Of the city seems. Of
late, to have entirely gone to pieces. The open
display of rowdyism and villainy in daylight,
and the common nocturnal inedentsof gariUing
and highway robbery have already Obtained for
Richmond reputation not second to any IN ur-
ban annals. Rowdies, gamblers and prostitutes
seem to have made of this city their peculiar
presence, and every night ia hideous with their
disorders and crimes. A citizen cannot walk
the streets at night without encountering perils
to his life or purse; thieves and murdcrers skulk
on the street corners; and recent instances have
occurred Of the daring feats of the garroters and
thugs in falling upon their prey in the most FREE
qucnted thoroughfares, even at an early hour OF
the evening.
It appears, however, that there are some cir
cumstances stranger than incidents of highway
robbery and pocket-picking in Richmond.
which suggests an extraordinary and alarming
inertness in the police, and threaten the worst
conseq An account of an exploit Of
burglars was given some days ago among the
local in this paper, from which il appears they
robbed large warehouse In one ofthe most
public places in this city, ascending to the nain
part of the building, letting. down and rolling
out number OF barrels of -four, and then haul
ing them away. Such feat Of bold and vigor-
Gus house breaking is unparalleled, we believe.
and almost unintelligible. The -four could only
have been driven away in several drays or carts,
and the idea that these could be driven 10 q
large warehouse on Cary street, and after being
laden there with their plunder, could go rumb-
ling on through the city without being over
hauled or challenged by the police, or attracting
their attention, is almost, if not quite. incredible
Yet we are told that such is the fact that the
police were not alarmed, and that the FIRST dis-
covery that robbery had been committed was
when the -four was missed the next morning.
Such success Of robbery in this city is truely
alarming. All property must he insecure here
Iif such feats can be performed with safety. as
that related above. We shall have the thieves
of Richmond not satisfied with the precarious
profits ofgarrotipg and the small scale OF adven-
lures ordinary TO foot-pads, aspiring 70 larger
prey, quitting warehouses Of wheat and tobacco,
and perhaps next trying their hands at heavy
ordnance. ~
