The Longest Suspension Bridge Ia
the World.

INC "OIIos
The longest suspension bridge In the
world Is now in process Of construction
over East River 70 connect New York
and Brosklyn The Brooklyn caisson
having frat been built, work was begun
on the New York side in september last
The New York World prints a sketch Of
the bridge as It will look when finished
with 40 account Of progress made, from
which We CLEAN the following facts: The
caIssons on both sides Of the river have
beensunk; the tower on the Brooklyn side
has reached height Of about 140 feet,
that on the New York side has reached
the height Of about 50 feet, both meas.
uremeus being from high.wAter mark.
The towers have yet TO be completed, the
anchorage towers 70 be commenced, the
approaches 10 be constructed, the cables
10 be swung, and, IN word, The bridge
to be built bow long q time must elspse
before the undertaking will be consum-
mated is question not easy to answer.
Should everything be favorable, should
there be no more delays in procuring titles
10 the land on either side, which is scarce.
ly tO,be expected, year more will be
requisite in which to complete the towers,
year more In which 70 swing the cables,
and then, wftlrplsin sailing, one or two
more at least will go by before travel can
be commenced.
The bridge when completed will be the
largest and most magnificent structure Of
the kind in the world. The height OF the
t0WeBGb0Ve the high water mark will be
26s feet; the heightol the centre Of the
main span, By the same measurement, 1876
feet the length Of the river span 1916
feet; OF each land span $40 feet, OF the
New York approach, la ieet; Of the
Brooklyn approach, 941 feet; and the total
length Of the bridge will be 5,s76 feet.
Thus II WILDE seen that It far exceeds
the dimensions Of the largest suspension
bridge now In existence-thAt at Elsga.
"a, whose main span messures about 200
feet. The span Of the old Niagara bridge
measures 800 feet, and that at Cincinnati
about 1000 feet The anchorage in New
York will be situated at the intersection
d Water and Dover streets, and the ap.
proach will be entered very nearly at the
present site Of the Daily NepI office in
Chatham street. 70

AS the Press and Herald now appears to
be supporting ex-President johnson for
Congress although it has not run
up his name at its masthead along with
other gentlemen on its ticket, we would
like to hear an opinion from it, as to who
Mr.. Johnson means by ga military ring"
He processes to be making the canvass
againsta military ring" What we want
hear from his organ is, who constitutes the
ring. Does Gov. Brown belong to it? Is
Gen. Chatham member of it? Is (?)
Caldwell who, according to his Sewer
county friends, was ian humble person in
the ranks of the Confederate army, one of
the military ring? s9ssay 47 aaeaE .s-1-.F .

THAT MILITARY RING.

The "big organp takes great comfort
from believing that Andrew Johnson does
not intend to make war ON the present
rotten and incompetent state government
We do not pretend to say that he will make
open war on John G. Brown and his adj
ministration. He will not perhaps come
square out and denounee the Governor or
any of his particular friends by name, but
we are enable to see how any unprecedented
mind is going to separate the personnel of
the present State administration from the
Military ring which he fights wherever he
appears. We understand, and every one
we have heard speak of the subject
understands, that he refers to Gen. John
G. Brown, Gen. B. F. Cheatham, and a
score or two other office holding and office
seeking Generals and Colonies, who have
formed combination strong enough to
secure the nomination of Gen. Brown for
Governor, Gen. Cheatham for Congress at
large, Gen. Quarles for Elector at large,
Col. Key for Congress in the Sd district,
Gen. Atkins for Congress in the 9TH dis
trict, &C., &C., including ''an humble per-
son in the ranks of the Confederate army"
in the End district, (?) A, Caldwell. This
is what we understand to be Mr.. John
sons military ring" This what is gem
orally understood as his meaning. If he
does not mean them, who does he mean !?

For the want of more interesting mat
ter, "some fellow furnishes editorials to
the "big organn on the fence, into which
copious extracts from Mr.. Maynard's
speechs made a dozen years ago are copied.
If they could go back to his school-boy
days and rescue some of his essays, de
CARNATIONS, &C., for the benefit of their rea-
ders, it would add very much to the inter-
estof their dull columns. Let us have the
inevitable "Zadok Jones' letter which
have been published so often and with so
much effect. 1t would be sheer folly fora
progressive journal, like that under con

dead tissues, such as that little railroad af-
fair, whereby the tax payers of Tennessee
suffered the loss of a trifiing sum-onIv ten
millions and half-and other kindred

Gov. BROWN has given ample evidence
that he makes statements on important
questions without understanding the facts.
In his inaugural address he charges that
the state debt increased under Republi-
can administration, from S16,OeO,OOO to
S40,OO0,0O0. In his Lebanon speech he
said it was from S2O,OOO,OOO to $40, OOO, 600.
Mr.. Freeman showed however, by figures
that ought to convince any unprecedented
mind, that the debt and interest thereon,
up to short time after Gov. Brownlow's
Inauguration, amounted to nearly 500, 1000
600. Governor B. ought to be posted on
these Questions, but if he is, weare at loss
to understand why he should make diff
ferance of four millions in his two state
ments, and still be very wide Of the mark.

CAN INDIANS BE CIVILIZED AND CHRIS

This question, which has often been
asked by philanthropist, is, about being
solved by the benign policy of the present
National Administration toward the
"red man." Some time since we publish
ed extracts of a report from Mr.. Welsh, of
Philadelphia a distinguished layman of.
the Protestant Episcopal church, giving
the happy result of his observations in the
Indian Agencies. y ralsi si.,i ies., 2 4
The following from Judge Jones, who
has recently the visited Chippewa Indians,
will be read with qualification by all who
take an interest in the moral and social
condition of the Indian tribes, and in the
success of the wise and just policy of Gen..
Grant. The letter is addressed to Secre-
