The Bridge Across h Mississippi NJ
Loulsinnn NO.
Louisiana journal, 2sth.l


The result of the meeting of Gov
eminent Engineers, for the purpose
of deciding the controversy about the
bridge, was as follows they agreed
to let the bridge company build tho
bridge below town, provided thcy
would build n dyke GOO Or 700 feet
long I'D the river from the west pier,
to make a good landing for steam
boats and bargcs, SO they could drop
through with safety in all kinds OF
water: and also narrow the channel at
that point 1000 feet by building the
wharf II the west side, out l,lOO feet,
and ON the east side 500 feet. The
engineers also require the bridge com
| many to build a dyke OH the west l
5000 feet long, above town, SO as to
force the channel along the wharf OF
the city which will remove the SAND
bar oppsita the city,, and also ono
between it and the bridge. The river
commerce will be benefited by thls
much better than il the location were
above the city.
The draw Of the bridge will have
the largest opening Ofany draw In th'
world, it being $50 feet between tn
piers. The arrangement meets TN
approval of the steamboat and rail-
road interest.
Mai. Sutcr is now engaged in hiiin!
the report for the war depart
ment. i'm accordance with the abov'
understanding. The improvement
are to be construLtcdunder the super

The Crops South.

The Memphis Avalanche Of Fri
day saws: "From the lowlands the
accounts are most d~iscouraging. We
have three letters from different
counties of western Mississppi.which
contain most distressing statements.
In one instance it is said that the ne
groes, seeing how almost hopeless
was the herculcan task OF ~redeeninS
the crop, have abandoned farms and
gone to the already Ovcr-crowded
villages to seek h~ap-haZard employ
mcnt. Even here i'll Memphis, the
number of colored people looking
for jobs is rapidly increasing from
this cause. Farmers along the Ar
kansas and White rivers tell the same
story of irremediablc ruin. We think
they are disposed to eXaggcratc their
| misfortuncs; but it is very certain
that the terrible weather that bcgat
indigenous cholera was quite as
fatal to corn and cotton rs to human
hcalthfuIncss. From the highlands,
on the contrary, the reports are emf
nently satisfactory. In hilly, sandy
districts, the more rain the more cot
ton. The weed, in fiat places, will
grow too large and produce but little,
but oil the liillsides the plant will
prove very productive. From the in
terror counties and from Eastern
Mississippi, save in fiat prairie re-
.ions, the farmers are perfectly blest,
and the cetton crop, were it not tel
or fifteen days later than usual, would
be the most promising that has bloom
ed for years. An early frost woulC
be most ruinous to so late a crop
since late forms could not mature
but the stalks are rich and prosper

Aullville Mystery.

Reports, prejudicial to the good
name Of the town of Aullville, have
been in circulation for some time.
We have hitherto, for obvious and
good reasons, abstaincd from MOTTO
ing them. Some days ago, however,
anot:ce of the affair appeared i'll the
st. Louis Dispatch, which has been
generally copied into ncighboring
newspapers, ara we now feel called
upon 10 publish the following from
the Scdalia Bazoo, of July 1st, with
the remark that, so far as we arc IN
formed. the article is a fair statement
of all the a%scertaincd facts, and the
explanation suggested is plausible:
TIE AuLLvILLE AFFAIR.
The probable history of the Aull-
Vile mystery, Us near as VIC arc abic
TO gather, is this: Some eight or
ten months ago all individual, well
known TO our business men here, "A
whose name is Thomas Cordell, a son
of the late Henry Cordell, of Jeifer'
son City. was missing. lie was III
the employ of Manning & Co, whole
sale uueenswarc dealers, at st: Louis;
and had been OH q drumming and
collecting tour, when, failing to re-
turn at the time he had intended, the
firm became alarmed and commenced
Inquiries, until finally satisfied that
he had been fou!ly dealt with. Dc
tectives were placed in posscssio;
of the case, and, in working it up
they traced Cordell to Aullville, ano
are unable to account for him aftcl
his arrival there.
These facts have given rise to thu
story of his murder at that place
about which we can get no definite
information, although we have ell
dcavored to do so. 1t is possible tina
Mr.. Cordell has become deranged ant
and gone off, as an uncle Of his onc'
did, who was absent under vel. sin
gular circumstances for ten years, M
finally turned up a wealthy man. IL
left a good business and n happ'
home, in just such a mysterious wa!
giving rise to the most painful apprrt
tensions among his friends and rcls
tives. We only give this solution I
the Aullville matter for what 1t
worth and as we gathered it fro
, others.
