The Great Bridge at Cincinnati.

The immense and massive stone wcrk of
tho piers of this magnificent structure,
which is soon to span the Ohio river and
unite the two States, is about completed.
We understand that in two weeks b foot
bridge for the use of work men only, will be
thrown across the river on wire ropes, and
about ono month from that time they com.
mence stretching the wires for the main
cables. They are receiving the wire for the
latter as fast as possible.
The main bridge will be suspended on
two wire cables, each of which will be thir.
teen inches in diameter. The cable will be
made by stretching ono wire across at a
time until the whole number required are in
place. and then the machine will be brought
into requisition to twist them togother.-
The iron saddle. plates on which The cables
will rest on. tho tops of tho piers. are now
ready, and weigh nine tons each. .,.. ~,

The distance from tho foundation to the
top Of the piers is 300 feet, and from the

Fields Opinion of the Atlantic Cable.

Mr.. Cyrus Field is among the passengers
who arrived at New York by the Australian
on Wednesday evening, On his way from
London to Liverpool, Mr.. Field. stopped at
Birmingham and incidentally attended one
Of the sectional meetings of the British As.
socation which was in session In that town.
Tho subject of telegraphy was under dis
cussion, and Mr.. Folds presence becoming
known be was called upon by the President
to attend the meeting. MIR. Field said be
had no idea be should be called on to speak
1t was mnch easier after an accident to find
fault with the arrangements which had
been made than II would have been to have
remedied that fault before unforeseen cir
cumstaDcos discovered il. II was very much
easier TO criticise book wrtton BY some
one else than to write that book ourselves.
[Hear, hear The Atlantic cable had failed.
The causes we're we'll known, but that they
would be rcmedied, and that they we're on
tho eve Of o great success, no bad no doubt.
There wero present two gentlemen who bad
contributed months and be might say years,
OF their valuable time to decide what mate.
rails were best TO use for an Atlantic cable;
aud after more than twelve hundred miles
Of that cable had been paid out. there was
no one on board the Great Eastern who
could suggest more than one simple i'm.
provement in the cable. The men on board
tho Great Eastern attributed the break
some to accident and somo to design. One
OF the mechanics in the tank remarked to
him: 1T was one of us seventeen in the
| tank that caused the accident" But il
seemed to him (Mr. Field) that whetbe,
caused by accident or design, they bad pow
or to arrange things 80 as to prevent q re
currence OF failure. There would bo in III,
expedition improvements made upon th,
! previous arrangements. and it was grea
satisfaction to know that everybody oil
board of the ship felt perfectly coufden
that the next attempt would be successful
and that they would DO able not only Il
lay down another cable at tho bottom of th
Atlantic, but to recover tho present one.-
Instead of talking about the subject himself
he should much prefer that the Atlantic ca
BILE shou Id speak for itself. ....f-t

Mr.. Hitchcock and the Militia Law.

Mr.. Hitchcock and the Militia Law.
We learn with regret that 4 meeting Of
citizous OPPOSED to tho election Of Aou. Pc
ter Hitchcock as Representative, was held
10 Huntsburgh on Wednesday evening OF
last week, and put In nomination B.. f.
Aboll. Esq, of Troy. We cannot regard
such meeting 90 indicative Of general
movement, yet, presuming those who com.
posed it and intend 10 support it's nominee
to be actuated by honorable though mis-.
taken motives, and being unwilling that any
portion, however small, Of the Union Men
Of tho County should occupy false posi.
ton, or seem to pursue q factious course,
for reasons which 1t is in our power 10 dis
pei, wo bog their attention while We say q
fow wordrin Justice to Mr.. Hitchcock. na
If there are any local or personal mo.
tives for this action. We have nothing to do
with them, nor are they Of interest to tho
public generally. From our knowledge of
the people Of Huptsburgh, We feel safe In
assuming that no such motives would be al.
lowed to govern them in matter OF this
kind. The main cause of opposition to Mr..
Hitchcock is understood to be his position
in relation to our State Militia Law. Up.
on this point, it is our duty TO say that he
hos been greatly misunderstood. his position
being not only right in itself, but perfectly
consistent with that Of evory other person
who has candidly considered the question in
oil its bearings; and that, to oppose him for
any such reason, is TO do both him and the
party injustice. We have conversed freely
With MIR. Hitchcock, and, that no ground
may romAin for doubt or cavil, desire it to
distinctly understood that. in stating his
views, wo speak advsediy.
In Convention, Mr.. Hitchcock was ask cd
directly if ho was in favor Of tho repeal of the
Communication feature of the Militia Law, ,and,
the question admitting of only categorical
answer, replied that he was not, although
no thought that modification of the law or
reduction Of tho amount of Communication de-
Sirabie; whereupon, it seems that some
at once jumped at the conclusion that he
was champion of the law, and would op.
pose any efforts that might DO made to ma
terially change il. in accordance with the
wishes of his constituents. Nothing could
DO farther from tho truth, as We think a
moments reflection will show. The law, in
It's inception, was . necessary measure to
effect an efficient militia organization 10 the
State. which was then deeued of the high.
est Importance. Tho old system had proved
failure and gone into disuse, and, to pre-
vent the new one from meeting with q sim.

General Buffers Views.

Al the groat Ropublican Convention In
Massachusetts, last week, Gen. Butler de-
fined bis position in the following terse SEN
teDces:
What restrictions shall be placed upon
the subduod enemies, before they shall bo
clothed with tho rights of American citizen-
shipi Shall no rights be given to tho black
man who has always fought for tho flag he
loved, and shall he still bo counted as three.
fifths of another person. There are two
theories; one Is that the rebesiious' ~States
lopf mono of their formor rights by the re-
rebellion, 30 that when the rebellion twas
crushed, the States sprang into all their
former rights. The other theory is, that
these rebollious States, banded In new
confedcracv, defying US as enemies, iost
cone of their rights under the Constitution.
They wore no less subjects because they
were rebels; but they were less citizens be-
cause they we're traitors. They must take
the position into which thoy have voluntari-
ly placed themselves, until by acts meet for
repentance, they shall show themselves fit
for a government founded on republicen
democracy, which shall give Iaurels to our
defenders. stripes to our enemies at homo
and abroad. (Applause.) On these two is
sues the two great political parties will meet
on different lines. All lovers Of political
progress will be on our side. Evon Henry

The Nlartyrcd President.

The last number of the London ,Spectato,
remarks as follows, in a long review OF
President Lincoln's life and services
"To our minds no funeral oration ever ex-
ceeded in pathos that spoken by the Prcsi-
dent, in dedicating as a national cemetery
part of the battlefield of Gettysburg MOI
can the message in which. before the issue
of the emancipation proclamation, he en-
tered the border States to sacrifice slavery
not at their own expense, but at the expense
of the nation, be easily surpassed in the
depth and earnestness OF its entreaty.'
And, again, speaking of his religious char
acter, it says:
Perhaps Mr.. Lincoln's religious faith and
simplicity are the only traits which still re-
main unappreciated by the American people
at large. For ourselves we cannot read hi.
last inaugural address, delivered only five
weeks before his assassination, without a
renewed conviction that it is the noblest
political document known to history, and
should have for the nation and the states
men he left behind him something of a sa.
cred and almost prophetic authority. Surely
none was ever written under stronger sense
of the reality of Gods government, and GER
tainly zone written in a period OF passionate
conflict ever so completely excluded the
partiality of victorious faction, and breathed
so pure strain of mingled mercy and JUS
tice."
