A GREAT BRIDGE.

The great bridge across the Mississippi
river at st. Louis promises TO be, when COM
pleted, one OF the grandest monuments of en-.
cheering skill and genius in the world
Between the Abutnents il will consist of three
steel arches, each of about 500 feet span, rest.
ing upon massive piers Of solid masonry
MIR. James b. Eads, the chief engineer, has
issued n very interesting report of the progress
which has been made in this great undertake
ing Among those which most Gorcibly illus.
trate the power Of science to overcome diff.
culties which would seem almost insurmOun;a-
BILE are some relating to the construction of
the west Hbutment, which at the date of the
report had been completed froui the bed rock
OF the river to point Of 81 feet above low
water mark, height OF Al feet altogether
Altogether the bed rock at the site of this
abutment is ~! feet higher than at the east
pier, the difficulties encountered in building
Its foundation were more serious than either
OF the others. Its site had been for over six,
~ years part of the steamboat landing of
the city, and as such had received every kind
Of useless material throwI overheard from the
various steamers lying over it during that
time. The old sheetiron envcloping their
furnaces, worn out crate. bars, old fire. bricks,
parts Of smoke stacks, with coal cinders,
clinEers, mass of heterogeneous substances,
formed deposit II feet in depth over the
rock. Not only were these miscellaneous OBJ.
structiOns in the way, but the Golfer dam con-
structed to enclose the site had 10 be put down
through the wrecks OF no lees than three
stambOats which were imbedded in the sand,
the hulk of either Of which was not probably
of less than 400 tons measurement From
the inclnsUTe within the dam were taken parts
OF several old and burnt steamboat engines,
the iron parts of some OF which had TO be cut
OF; four wrecks Of bargeS, some of them pro-
badly IN use before the era of steam likewise
several oak saw logs, some anchors chains,
ani variety Of smaller articles This in
conSrnous deposit made it exceedingly diff
cult TO maintain tho integrity of the dam, aud
frequent flooding occurred which DELAYED and
increased the cost Of the work but all diff
cultles were surmOunted, aud the bed rock
within was dualIyexposed to view. The piers
were sunk by means OF caissous, compressed
air, and sand pumps, similar in many respects
to those in use for the East River bridge
The east pier of the ST. Louis bridge had on
the first of October been carried up to the
height of III feet above the bed of the rock,
on which it rests, about 20 feet above the
level of the water at that time. 1t measures
at its base, in the direction of the current, 80
feet, and transversely 60 feet. This pier was
placed on the rocks in l26 DAYS after the
laying Of the first stone, work being suspended
on It during twenty days Of this time on &C,
count of bad weather. The west abutment of
the bridge when completed to the carriage
way will be lis feet high above the bed rock
Of the river, and will contain IL 500 cubic
yards of masonery.

THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY &. R.

Yesterday a force of Engineers, attached
to the Shenandoah Valley Railroad Company,
and under the lead of Colonies Barrett and
Stewart, left this place for the neighbOrhOOd
of ShePherdstOwn with view of finally To-
eating the line of this important work. 1t is
their purpose to establish their headquarters
some three miles this side of ShepherdstoWn,
to which point their camp equipments were
transferred on Monday last. We learn from
these gentlemen that large working force
will be placed at once on the line between
ShepherdstOwn aud Charles,own, and that the
process of construction will be pressed without
delay aud with the utmost energy. Lumber
for the erection of the necessary buildings for
the accommodation of the wOrkmen has already
arrived at landing on the Shenandoah River.
This We believe to be the beginning in car
best Of operations on this mos, desirable work
of internal improvement, and we trust that
the day is not for distant when the rich fruits
to be derived from this enterprise, will be
reaped by the people Of our county and VAL
ley.
We hardly deem it necessary to urge upon
our citizens the duty of affOrdinS every facili-
~ in their power to the company aud its
agents in the prosecution of the work in hand
This We are sure will be done freely aud with
pleasure. Let all cooperate cheerfuIly, and
the good effects Of such a policy upon the
best interests of the county will soon be
manifested
We understand there will be a meeting of
the directors of the company held at Phia-
delPhia on Wednesday next, when President
Scott will doubtless unfold his plans for fu-
ture operations.
