Destruction . sot a Portion of the Bridge by
°Firs.
the noble structure which spans the Susquehan
na at this place, was discovered to be on tire, on
IVednesday afternoon last. Our citizens milled to
preserve it from destruction, but notwithstanding
thri arduous exertions, one span was destroyed.—
The fire when first discovered, was entirely be
noath the flooring, and consequently unapproacha•
ble ,by the fire apparatus this Boroeuh contains.—
lloviG fire could have been communicated in such a
manner, is yet a mystery. The total destruction of
the bridge was doubtless averted by this fact, for
had the fire communicated to the roof, no exertions
could have stayed- its progress. One span was saw.
ed Oft and tell, and the remainder preserved.
The Company with commendable energy and
promptness have already commenced preparations
tosebuilding, and intend having the Bridge passa
ble within thirty days for teams—meanwhile a
five ferry has been established by them, so that the
public will sustain no inconvenience.
Warning to lltarglaro.
On Thur. lay .night last Ayres' Jewelry Store,
at Elmira was entered by burglars, who awakened
the clerk, sleeping in the store, with the nuise made
by boring through the door: He gate them such
a warm reception with a reveler, that they speed
ily made their exit. Traces of blood being dis
covered, and no marks of pistol-shots being appa
rent, though he fired three times it was evident The
burglars had not escaped unhurt. On the next
evening 'a man entered a house in Buckvifle,
maitre miles below, wounded in :three pieces.—
He acknowledges regeiving the three bullets from
the revolver, in the jewelry store, but refuses to tell
his accomplices' names. It is thought he cannot re
cover from the effects of the wounds. We have not
learned his haute—further than that he resides at
Chezenng,-N. Y, and ie a Shoemaker lay trade.

was expected, Gen. Robbins made enquiry and
learned that Russell bad disposed of it in Tioga

and British Governments to unite cordially in an

Isthmus at tlutir joint expense,- if it can be made,
an f thus become benefactors to this-continent and
to all mankind, than to quarrel about the right of

Company now owning and rebuilding the Cayuga
an4lMantiehanna Railroad, end have attempted,
from what information we could gain, to give the
public some idea as to the progress - tithe work T and
the prospect before us. - -
We are now happy to 6. able to ray, advinelly,
that the old Ithaca and Ovrego—aow the Calugs
and Susquehanna Railnead.—will be open for travel
within !hilly days. About four miles of new road
are - arivrbeing - nuede, to avoid= the ittermerr plain,
and will be opened at the same time with the other
line.
The terminus for the present will bo about half a
mile from the village, and about one mile from the
steamboat landing. A plank road is now being
made, on which the pervengers will be transputterl
from the boat t 6 the railroad depot. kr omnibuses,
until Spring, when the railread.will be estended to
the landing.
It is well known that the line of this read is very
fine, perhaps the hest in the State, with no grades
over 21 feet to the mile. and practically strarght.
The track will be six feet— same' gunge as the
New York and Erie Railroad.
This will be one of the mast elagantlpoquipprid
roads in the United Rates; and the 20 marts rwill
be run in 45 minutes,
' Thepaseetigers will betaken from the steamboat.
sad set down at the New York and Erie Railroad
depot, in Owego, in one hour.
The steamboats on Cayuga Lake have been pur
chased by Col Scranton, Presidedt; and William I
Esq. Secretary of the Railroad Compa
ny, and. will hereafter be controlled by the Raihoad
Leinpany.
These boats are to be immediately improved and
fitted xi,' in the best possible manlier for the Fall
and Winter travel, and everything done to render
them comfortable and pleasant. It is believed they
will be made to lull from Cayuga Bridge to Ithaca
in two hours and -15 minutes.
It has become a common opinion abroad. that
owing to the freezing of the lower end of Cayuga
Lake, steamboats could not real to the Bridge du
ring the severe Winter mouths. The public may
rest assured that arrangements are now being made
to overcome any difficulties of this kind that may
occur, and that boats will ran daily to the Bridge
the coming Winter.
A beautiful boat is to be built and put on the Lake
artily next season that is expected to make her trip
through the Lake in two hours and fifteen minutes ;
this will enable passengers leaving Cayuga Bridge
to reach Owego (69 miles) in three hours and fif
teen minutes. The intention now is, to run this
line to and from the Express trains of the Auburn
and, Rochester and New York and Erie Railroads.
No pains will be spared by the Company to ren
der this route attractive and popular, as well as
pleasant and comfortable. They intend to merit at
least a fair share of patronage.
The rates of far 1 and freight are to be redneed,
and arrangements made to receive -and discharge
freight going - to and from New York anti Erie Rail
road, and Auburn and Rochester Railroad at tidier
ent points on the. line between these two roads.
The same compan? owning this Road also own
the coal-lands and control the Ligett's Gap Railroad.
This latter Road will connect the Lackawana coal
valley with the New Yolk and Erie Railroad at
Greai Bend, a distance of fifty miles. The two
Roads (viz. the Cayuga and Susquehanna and Lig.
eta's Gap') will be run in connection, and the Wen
lion is to make Ithaca the great point for tranship
ment, distribution, etc. for anthracite coal, to the
Salt Works, and for western and northern New
York, as well as the great Lakes and the Canatlas.
By these improvements, the finest qualities of tn.
thracite Coal in the world will be delivered on Cay
ego. Lake and all nver Western New York, at about
New York City prices. Not a doubt is entertained
that the prices will be so low, as to bringtbis
indis
pensible article of fuel into very general use. This
eonnecti.m with the Keystone State has long been
desired and looked for. Its great importance and
the mutual benefits which most follow are apparent
, and need not be set forth The citizens of our
whole Stale have a deep interest in this grand en
terprise and they cannot but hail the individuals
connected with this project as benefactors. When
they have accomplished their utideriaking, their
•claims to the endearing gratitude of all our ditizens,
and that of the surrounding country, willeverY where

HORRIDLY. DEPRAVITT.—In the month of October,
1848, the vault of the Van Rensselaer family was
entered at midnight by some sacrilegibus wretch
es, the carms were broken open and the, silver
plates forcibly wrenched from them. The ghouls
then proceeded to'mb the bodies of every article of
value, says the ICntekerbocker, cruelly, mutilating
them to obtain the rings, &c. Alter having com
pleted their horrible work, they left the vault, and,
notwithstanding the most unremitting search, no
clue could be obtained by the police of them. A
short time since one of their number, probably ap
p reherded danger, or conscience-smirk n, turned
State's evidence, and exposed the names of his as
sociates in crime, but they got wind of it and made
their escape from the city. It is to be hoped that
the wretches, whose souls are so steeped in crime
that they can cooly, at midnight, mutilate the
corpses of the dead for the sake of a few small
trinkets, will be brought to prompt and speedy jus
tice at the hands of the outraged law .--Arbany At

We know the federalists believe they have the
advantage of us on this question, in Pennsylvania,
and we know also, that there are interested and
conservative democrats, who think with them, and
act with them : but notwithstanding this, wo are
confident that the people of Pennsylvania are too
intelligent to believe, that restricted trade and un
necessary taxation are favorable to their interests.
The federalists have made their issue ; they have
furcedit upon us and we are willing to take it
broadly. and those who have made it and forced
it upon the country, must be responsible for their
owl acts, if peradventure of their particular friends
should feel its effects injuriously.
That the tariff of 1846. is a better tat if!" . for the
country, than that of 1842. is now conceded by al
most every candid man in the country. Even the
federalists say they do not want the tea of 1842
restored. They know well, they cannot get such a
monster tesuscitated Hence, they only want a
modification of the act of 1846. In 1846, however,
nothing but the tariff of 1842 would answer their
purpose. They then spurned every proposition of
a modification oT the act of 1842. Br doing so,
they forced the friends of a modification of that art,
to carry it further than, under other circumstances,
they might have done. They have also, forced up
on the country an investigation and a discussion of
the subject which will go forward until the idea of
protedionfar lie sake r, protedioss, will be no more
heard of in the land.
The present proposition of the federal party, to
mode) , the act of 1846, is like the proposition of
the monarchists of France, deriver e the late revolu
tion, to place the young count of Paris upon the
throne, when a .hulling voice from the multitude
announced—it is too late! Revolutions do not go
backward ; neither in this enlightened era, will the
light of science and truth recede in the United
States. Their course is onward. The tariff of 1846
may be modified, but it a - ill be to still further re
move unnecessary taxation and restrictions from
the people.—Keystone.
DISGRACLTOL Scam—We have been informed
of a dingracelul scene that occurred on Sunday last,
at a funeral, in Cie vicinity of Middlepoct. The de

resting place, an ordinary wagon was procured, in
which the coffin, containing the deceased was pla

tance, they immured liquor, of which they freely
partook and became intoxicated ; and proceeding
