The Natural bridge In ohio.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, Of the 18th ult., thus describes
"natural bridgen in Ohio, which is rep
resented as being equal in beauty if not
in grandeur, to that one in Virginia: aa.
Five miles south Of Cutler Station, on
the Marietta & Cincinnati Railroad deep
in the backwoods, aud near no human
habitation, stands the bridge, hewn from
the solid rock by the hands of the Al
mighty. Across adeep ehasm filed with
evergreens, tall hemiocks, green ferns,
old logs covered with 1ichens ana moses,
stretches span of solid rock, thirty feet
long, and twelve feet wide, and from ten
to twenty feet in thickness. It is cover
ed with earth to the depth Of several
inches, on which is a species of small,
leafed, ivy. Laurel grows in profussion
around the edges. Almost under the
bridge (which is near the head Of the
ravine it spans) and on the upper side is
a semi-circular cave about the size and
having much the appearance Of the cave
under the falls OF Minnehaha.
From thetop Of the bridge to the bot
tom of the chasm, on the lower side I
should judge, to be ahundred feet, ON the
upper side it is about forty feet, as there
is a perpendicular offset OF about fifty
feet In the chasm just under the bridge.
Standing beneath the bridge, and look
ing up, called to our mind the ''ambi-
tious youth,n climbing the arch of the
great natural bridge to record mis- name
in the fiinty album. side by side with
Washington's. All the surroundings OF
the place are Wild in the extreme, and
one is filed with the grandeur and beau
ry of the place, while thought inyolun-
tary aseends to the Great Architect OF
all.

And now we come to the main luues-

This Is question which the people

and straightforward manner, and in a
manner which can be verified by any
man who Will take the pains to examine
the finance reports of the last three years,

Although active hostilities virtually
ended with the surrender of the great
rebel armies in April, 1865, the expenses
of the war did not and OF. necessity could

b. We claim that they might fairly have
exceeded any honest expenditure in 1860,
Tor we have five or six millions more
population and a vast extent of new ter
rtory to guard and control
Ii it shall be alleged that We have in
cluded all the expenses of the War and
Navy Departments for fifteen months
after April, 1865, as war expenses, aud
that there would have been a moderate
expenditure under any circumstances,
we will admitit; but the expenses of the
Indian war, estimated at $50 ,000,0 900 to
$40, ,000, eco, and The amount expended on
river and harbor improvements($ ($l0,OJ0,-
0O0l for which we have made no allow
ance, but have included S ordinary eX-
penses, would fully offset this claim.
1t would therefore appear that when

gress with extravaganza they charge the
last Democratic administration with far
greater. .-.-,, :.f ...5,r.-.- 80. ...
. WhEhE bOChANANS . MONE1 WENT. I
But we are fully prepared to admit
their charge of excessive expenditure
against both administrations. The ex-
penditure made under James Buchanan,
of S7T. T.S4l 900 in gold, amounting to al
present currency equivalent of Sl07, ,577,
400, was largely used to arm and equip
the rebel States in order that they might
wage war against the government.
The, eXtravagant expenditure of the
last three years has been made in con-
sequencenof of the appointment to and
maintenance in Office of corrupt officials
by Andrew johnson.
We will now close this branch of our
subject, but let US first recapitulate our
y TABULAR STATEMENT.
- We have proved that the ordinary ex-
penses of the government for three years
and quarter, including the suppression
of Indian hostilities and. nearly SO ,000,-
600 for river and harbor improvements,
have been at g. less rate than. the last
fiscal year prior to the war;
We have proved that to the alleged
maximum debt August l. IS65...... S2,757, ,6S9,571

existed April and of which there.
