THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 18G7. THE BATTLE OF LIFE. BT HO!f. LEONARD MYERS. A sigh steals down the smiling valley a gentle sigli of breezes, wafting liappiueaa over the face of nature, and at the sound, from out their beds of earth myriads of things of beautv wake into existence; meadow and plain and hill-side glisten in fairest verdure flowers iling their fragrance on the gale stately trees wave their foliage to the passing wind while Streams beuoath dance onward to the ocean and the dream-like hum that fill the air and swells in chorus to the arch of heaven tells of the blooming Spring of the transcendent pleasures of Life. What a glorious earth has man for a habita tion ! what scenes surround him to ennoble the soul what example to elevate and incite the mind to strive for the goat of Happiness t That goal, alas ! how diataut and hard to reach; thorns hedge the road the aspiring one would tread, and weeds spring rank and choking in the pathway, or often, when the Beeming height is won, the eminence fades to a common level, and Happiness is as distant as ever I But the soul must toil, though suc cess is but a vision the mind must work, although its labors be fruitless; for there is a Higher power controlling the actions of man guiding his impulses ana passions, and girding him for the conflict around him and within Lim the struggle that is ceaselessly waging the Battle of Life ! llow sweet is Fame I Even now, upon men's tongues there dwells some name whose every syllable is a charm, thrilling to adoration. Here, a patriot spirit, whose fires have smoul dered long beneath wrong and malice, rises Euperior to ills, and grasps almost the con summation of his wishes; there, a warrior from the laurelled field receives the homage of a grateful people; or some philosopher, with potent wand, discloses to a wondering world a new discovery in Science. They stand aloft upon the pinnaole of Fortune, and eager crowds beneath echo their praises or envy their success; and upward still they gaze, blind to the rugged crags that lie between Hind to the slippery height they covet blind to the thousands round them on the same great plain, breathless and bleeding from their vain attempts to climb the dazzling steep or happy in an humbler sphere. Ah 1 had they seen that lofty mind on the chill yesterday of Adversity, with naught but obstacles before him; who knew that Country was upon men's lips only as a substitute for Belf, and yet heard his own efforts slandered as false and recreant, and whoso high purppses had bent before the storm only to rise un broken they would not undergo the patriot trials, even for his rewards. The soldier's hardships in the camp, with night's cold shadows closing round him, and no pillow for his head save the still colder earth; or 'mid the battle's carnage, or on the ensanguined field, strewn alike with friends and foes, would look not half so pleasant to their eyes as that exulting warrior; or had they watched the Student through long years of vain research, onng o'er musty tomes till the stars paled fore tne light of day, with fevered brow and aching heart, filled with strong hopes that time still dashed to earth though Time at last was destined to" fulfill; the marvels wrought thus dearly, thus hardly given to the world, the car with wings of fire, the thought, home as on the lightning's shaft, the shadow that no longer vanishes, when won at such a cost, would lose their value, and the philoso pher stand unenvied though preeminent. Men judge too oft, by outward show, the glitter hides the dross which lies beneath, the peasant would seek happiness in palaces, the rich, perchance, see pleasures 'mid the poor; all err, all causelessly despond, for place nor circumstance alone can make life happy; there is no lake with breast by winds unruffled, no sea by billows always unconvulsed even so is it with man. How many noble minds are cTushed beneath adversity, and pulses that erewhile- warmed with a kindred glow to kindred energies, throb now to sorrow and bereavement I How many hearts that loved loved, oh I how fondly 1 are doomed, alas 1 to live, and live alone I How many breathing beings toil and travail on to gain wherewith they may drag out existence how many lots that look the brightest are fraught with bit terest woe 1 And still the strife goes on, still the throng heaves and swells tumultuously, as waves that surge against the rocks which bind them, and one unceasing current flows turbulently onward, bearing with it the joys and sorrows, the hopes and passions of a world onward ever, to the trackless ocean of Hternity. Hut fields are green and flowers are fair there is no warfare on the hills, nor in the groves, nor on the plains; the elements break in fearful grandeur above; the Beasons come and go yet sunshine follows storms as day the night, and winter yields to spring. No murmur is heard, save that which trembles through the air, of rippling streams and stir ring loaves, and songs of sweetest music; and the works of Nature stand forth in majestio harmony, unmoved by the strivings around them, regardless alike of the fear3 and long ings, the griefs and tumults raging in the breasts of men serene and placid, despite the contest, and at Peace, through amid the throes of The liattle of Lite. A Convef satfon with Hon. li. B. Wash burn. From the Boston Commonwealth. It was Die pleasure of several of the personal and political irleudsoi Hon. FJ B. Washburn, of Illinois, to meet blui in social Intercourse, Hie i ast week, in this city. Mr. Washburn has lately returned from Europe, whither be went prior to the late special eesslou of Congress to recruit his health, which tiad become considerably Impaired. He represented himself as now In very good physical condition, and that his journey bad been one of great satisfaction to himself. , . . Mr, Washburn, as Is generally well known, has lately been in Washington, and of course conliuued his intimate association with General Grant, whose abilities, it Is understood by the country, he was the lirst to discern, while be was foremost and earliest In securing for him proper rank and position in the uatlonal army, and since the war has been bis "near, est Irlend," If that term mav be allowed in connec tion with so sell-reliant a personage as the General, We violate no confidence, we thliilt, in mentioning Mr. Wasnburu's estimate of bis vrottye at the present time. ' Mr. Washburn regards General Grant as wholly In sympathy with Congress, and its plan of reconstruc tion. To the particular Inquiry of one of our Sena tors, Mr. Washburn replied tuat he considered him notoulyln favor of thorough reconstruction, as the advanced men understand it, but In favor ol standing ' by the blacks in all their civil , social, and political rights, as conferred by the 11 construction Acts He was lu constant consultation with (Secretary Btantou, Mr.WaBliburn auirws. in regard to the lately Impend ing change In the Cabinet, receiving notice from Wanton. Just before he went out, mat Vis dhjinlntal would soou take place, and was urged by him to ac cept the place. Not only '.was mm the case," said Mr. WasUurn. but I know that th. letters front Grant to both the President and the Secrutary were written by Grant himseir. upon co.suhallon with and tn lull knowledge of Mr. bianion " Mr. Washburn further remarked that he should have deemed It a criminal negligence in Geneial Orant not to have accepted the Place under the circumstances: and that It Is now his duty to remain until the uieeiiug ef Con gress, even though the President may wut to get rid General Orant, Mr. Wathhurn further represented was lilled with as great apprehension for the sfety of the country as anyuian emild be. H had re marked that, when in the war, he was comparatively easy about the result; he knew what was lo bathe and, and made ills preparations accordingly. u,lt now he was filled with alarm; heconld not foretell what would transpire from day to day, and such adding that Truniouli ana nuurmur ilka were deaf to llio apl waia 01 me vimi.ii.j tieucul Uraut, luiHir fiJU'',, ke,j Mr. Wishbjrn, anxiety lie n " . . eu iiih-h, ciu. been that t ongiess snouiu oo i.a iuii amy at tne mt,, af Wrnxnler antiou ties in 11)6 " .i ihal be persenai y eutreaied Bonaiornlor- I . uin the power 8 to dismiss the District tioiru,,;; bhrewsbury . which the Bouse had granted, fearing whktt'wil,.:,.; I , .

He f consulted the leading Journals, and noted carefully the criticisms upon nis movement, w nen inn itiiprs ace the light-as the would surely when Congress met. It not before ihev would be foiled as loyal, si irue to the demands of the times, as any could ask. He did not now that Grant would be retained in the Ca1 Inet ten days longer, but whether or not, the country could rest assured that he was with it, and that It would, sooner or later, recognize In him a fast and valued (ilcnd. As the final remnrk of this conversation, Mr. Wash burn said tiiBt the confidence reposed In (Ion. nil Grant wns not misplaced; and that nil loyal men could stnnd up for him without hesitancy, or the shadow of a doubt. 'I lie great Interest felt at the present tlmelntlio political sit nation at Washington renders these views of Mr. Washburn, the confidential friend of General Grant, ol the highest value, and as such we unreserv edly print tlieiii, The New Ulackfiiars Bridge across the Thames. the East River bridge enterprise elves addi tionul interest to tbu lollowlnir, account of the now liluektrutrs Bridge over Ihe Tunnies, which wc copy from the London Times: "As the works conucctei with Hlankfriirs Bridge flowlv advance, it is tonn 1 thittTthc very ciiuces which hastened the decay ot the old btructure are precisely those which are hinder ing the completion of the new. It was the gradual alteration in the depth, of the bed of the river which destroyed tbe old bridge. The rush on its centre and southern piers was too much for the weak foundation which upheld them, and though the structure did stand more than a century, nearly half this period was pased iu sinking blowly, but surely, into a state of hope less dilapidation and decay. In epite of all tbe exp.'hsivc remedies applied, notliiutr .could re ptore it, and, in fact, it was allowed' to stand long after it was dangerous for public truffle. "To understand the way ia which these piers nre built, and, IndeeJ, most bridge piers are built nowadays, may uot be uninteresting. In almost every sort of great engineering, archi tectural or nautical undertaking, wood has given place to Iron. Wooden cotler-diims for piers ot bridges would be as much out of place now as wooden sailing ships or mail boats. Wrought irou caisons tor this purpose of bridge building are a purely English invention, though the name is French, The piers of New Blackfriars Biidge are each one hundred and ten feet long by twenty-two feet wide. Instead of building these by the slow, and therefore expensive, method of damming out the river by a cotrer dam of piles, they are constructed by means of wroughl-iron caissons, six caissons being; re quired for each pier. These caissons are rtmplv square wrought-iron tube, open at both cuds, and strengthened inside with iron girders to resist the pressure ot the water. They ate sunk on end in a row exactly the length of the pier and on the spot where the pier is to be built. There are valves in them which allow the tide water to enter and leave ireely as it fulls and rises, and so in a few days the great weight of the caisson all -resting on its lower edge sinks it deep into all the river mud, gene rally down to the water's surface, where it will go no further. "Another rim or tube of wrought iron is then bolted on to the op of the caisson, and the girders round the inside of this weighted with iron ballast tn the amount tf about 'one hun dred tons, and this generally takes it some ten feet or twelve feet deeper. At all event, as long as the caisson continues to sink, other rims are bolted to it, and other weights added till it will go no luriher. In this state it is generally suffered to remain a week or so, when the last weights which the iron will bear arc added, and this final test generally sinks it a few inches deeper. All then is secure, for by that time-the end of the tube is as deep as it will go into the London clay, and far below the bed of ihe river. What has to be done then is very simple. The water is pumped out ot tne tube by a Pteam-pump iu a lew hours, and its lower ena oeing periecuy sealed Dy its penetra tation into the soil, keeps it perfectly dry. The mud and oozu which it has enclosed. are dredged out down to the clay, aud when thi is reached and levelled the work, of building the founda tion is commenced some fifty feet below the sur face of the Thames, but still in open daylight and in a perlectly dry and afe chamber. "The loundatious arc laid in tbe hardest brick, set in concrete, and thus built, the piers are solid from end to end up to within six feet ot dead low water. Here the massive courses of granite commence iu huge blocks weighing fioin twelve to fifteen tons each, and these are continued up to the height Irom which the iron work of the arches springs. The caissons nave been weighted to tne utmost they will bear with safety, aud the sink ing goes on, but in such an uncertain and erratic manner as clearly shows the rotten and uusa:e nature of the soil through which they are passiug. Thus, tor days they may remain immovable, or only sink an Inch or so, while very recently they went down thirteen inches in a single night. Of course, until they have taken their bearings, as it is called, and will go no luriher, nothing can be done, lor to pump tbe caisson out with its lower end still insecure would be only inviting such a rush of water be neath it as would agaiu double the labor to be gone through to clear it. "Notwithstanding the depth of water in the calston, the divers, to the number of five, are daily at work in it, dredging out the interior of the tube, and fending immense quantities of soil to thefurfacc. Their reports all tend to 6how that tbe bottom of the tube is very near the clay, and that a few feet more of penetration will make its lower end perfectly water-tight. In the meantime other portions of the works are carried on with all the speed that is possible. "While removing one of the Surrey piers two foundation stones of black slate were brought to light. One of them is evidently a stone that was laid with all pomp and ceremoaial, while tbe other aud smaller one found near it was as evidently stowed away on the same day, but prior to the ceremonial, by some master work man, who loon advantage 01 nis opportunity to band down his name to posterity. The clear cut inscription on the first says: "On the 23d dav ot June, ITr.l, In The first year of the relgu or King George Til, the tir t stone of this the first pier was laid by Sir Hubert Ladbroka, Knt., and presld nt of the lioir rable committee for carry ing this bridge into execution. Itobert Mylne, archi tect; JoBeph Dixon, niasou.' "The second stone says: "On tlieiid day of June, 1701,'ln the first year of the relgu or iving ueorge in, tue urst stone ol this pier was laid by Joseph Dixon, master mason to this uriuge.- "It is more than probable that the last men tioned stone was really that which was first laid." Koman Antiquities. While making excavations ia the Roman cemeterv at Lillcbourn, in France, M. l'Abbe Cochet iound twelve or fifteen sepulchres, in which were forty-five class and earthen vase. In the same locality M. Cochet also discovered a preen glass cup, wnicb presents a bas-reuet ol a combat of gladiators. The names of the cele brities of the public parties were inscribed upon the borders of the cup. Tbis rare curiosity was broken, so that there could be recognized only tbe names of Petrahes aud Prodes, notorious eladintors of the time of Nero, whose names have been found written upon the wulls of Pom peii. Goblets ol this kind may be seen In the museum at Vienna, Austria, and have been found in rJavoy. In Kerry, and in Kent.
