CoNNEorED.-The bridge. over the Con.
garce River, destroyed by the retrelting
Confederates on the morning Of the 10Th

construction of this connecting link be-
| fba t.,, -,
Comptroller Neagle, who, impressed with
its Importance. pushed ahead and made
the necessary arrangements for it's erec-
ton. It was stupendous undert king,
but one which, we hope, will prove re-
munerativc. The style of the bridge is
known as POSTS patent combination
truss; and was erected by the Watson
Manufacturing Company, OF Paterson,
n. j., (Mr. E W. Mercer, agent.) under
the superintendent of Mr.. w. j. Pieleet
Col. j. z. Low being the engineer.
The structure is calculated to bear ], 200
pounds to the running foot. which is
| only one'si1th of the actual strength.
The iron WIS personally tested by tho
engineer, at tho works in Paterson. md
evory defective piece thrown out. The
grade on the Lexington side is only
temporary. aud will soon be put in pro-
per condition. A side railing is also
being erected. At half-past 5. yesterday
afternoon, the debris having beon cleared
away, DR.. Neagle and Col. Low, seated
in one vehicle, Messrs. Mercer aud
Pieloet iu second, and followed by
several other vehicles, passed to the
Lexington side. and in short time re-
turned. The bridge will be opened for
traffic to morrow (Monday.) The rates
Of toll, we are assured. will be made
satisfactory. Mr. i. D. J. Hayes has
