building, though six stories in height, IS

several large buildings, located in other parts
Of the city, though it is contemplated con
ccntratfng them soon in one immense fac

The friends of Mr.. Albert l.. Donnaud

The friends of Mr.. Albert L. Donnaud
and he has many in this vicinity-will
be pleased to hear of his promotion from
general reporter on the staff of the New
Orleans Times to the important post of
city editor Of that influential journal.
# we had only our own Judgment to base
the assertion on, we might hesitate, for
personal reasons, to say that the local
department of the Times has materially
improved under Mr.. Donnaud's supervi-
sion, but we have heard so many of the
readers Of the paper express similar
opinion, that we have no room for doubt
in the premises. A fluent and brilliant
writer himself, Mr.. Donnaud is demon
strating no less successful faculty for
directing and revising the writings of
others. We hope both the Times and Mr..
Donnand will derive material benefit
from the labors of the now city editor.

Of this work, in addition to the funds on

BRIDGING THE ATCHhFALAYA.

From a late issue Of the Alexandria
State Central Express VIC clip the follow
ing:
Tic Atchafalaya continues to deepen
with uneAampled rapidity. At point
| where d location was made last Fall for
bridge for the Pacific railroad, the
river has already deepened upwards Of
twenty feet, and the road has been
obliged to abandon the idea of bridging.
Contracts have been let for piles one
hundred and fifty feet long, but these
would no longer be sufficient, and the
contract was Cancelled. There is no tell
ing the extent to which this securing
will 60, and i ferry will have to carry
tle trains until something definite can
be settled upon. The breaking through
Of the Mississippi: and the..change OF its
course is now more than ever probable,
and the River Commission have hard
problem before them.
While the Express is correct in its
statement regarding theremarkable deep
enin@ Of the hafalaya-throughw which
waters Of tie Red and Mississippi have
been pouring il volume that has CON
stantly increased from year to year-it is
misnlormed with reference to the bridge
matter. W are able to state, upon I'M
questionable authority, that, SO far from
having abandoned the project Of bridg-
ing the stream, the railroad company has
contracted for the erection Of a iirst-class
iron bridge at the point selected and
confidently expects to have it completed,
ready for operation, within six months
from this date. In the meantime, how
ever, steamboat will be used to convey
the company's rolling stock, freight aad
passengers across the river, and 4 boat
particularly designed for this work is
even now in course of construction at
st. Louis.
The Atchafalaya bridge will be built
after the most approved style Of such
architecture, and with special view
Of withstandlng the cncroachments Of
caving banks and q deepening channel.
