From the Louisville Courier-Journal, Nov. 30.] The work on the great railroad bridge over the Ohio is so far" advanced that the engineers are confident on being able to open it for the passage of regular trains by Dec. 15. Con struction trains, however, will be able to pass several days sooner. The 400 feet span now rests on its permanent bearings, and is in every respect satisfactory to its engineers. This, by the way, is the longest span ever erected inAinerica, the next less being the main span of the Victoria Bridge, at Montreal, Canada, which is 330 feet long, and the channel span of the Steubenville Bridge, 320 feet long. The plan of truss is that known as the "triangular," one which has been extensively and successfully used by Mr. Fink, and has been in the present case specially arranged for this long span. The clear space above low water line under this span,is 1161 feet, and above high water line 4th feet', the total height from the rock bed of the river to the top of the upper chord of this span is 160 feet. The hist pier, No. 19, was finished a week ago, and in two days from /now the last stone of the bridge masonry will have been laid in the Indiana abutment, which is all that re mains of 31,000 cubic yards of masonry com menced August 1, 1867. The total length of the iron superstructure is 5,280 feet, of which two spans are respect ively 370 and 400 feet long. The middle and Indiana channels are "over grade" or "through ;" the others, varying in length from 50 to 240 feet, are " under grade " or deck. The under grade portion is' if the same plan known as Fink's Patent Suspension Truss—a plan that ban been well and favorably known for over twenty years. The total quantity of iron,wrought and cast, used in the construction of this great bridge t is . 8,700,000 pounds; and the amount of timber,in eluding rail, joist, cross ties and railway, will be 640,000 feet, board measure. This magnifi cent structure was designed and the work carried out under the superintendence of Messrs. Albeit Fink, Chief Engineer, and F. W. Vaughan, Principal Assistant Engineer. Considering the large number of men • em ployed on the structure, and the character of the work, wo are surprised' that more acci dents have not occurred: — ln almost every case in which men have been killed or injured, it has resulted from their own carelessness. The' company take particular pains to provide means of rescue for thotie • who may fall into the river, and several skiffs, with two men in each, are always moored below, ready to aid hi case of emergency. Very few visitors are allowed on the bridge, for fear of accidents to them; where so - many men are at work. One can get a pretty good 'idea of its immensity; however, from the city- wharf,, where nutiabers go every day to see it.

S. Troops ' from New York City. Te attention of the War Department has been lately attracted to the fact that the Utah Mormons have been engaged for sometime in collecting a formidable camp in the vicinity of bait Lake City, numbering about fifteen thousand men. It is said that this movement was undertaken for the purpose of being pre pared to resist the enforcement of ,any legisla tive, acts which may be made against poly gamy at the approaching session of Congress It is well known that the Mormons • have always bitterly opposed any interference with their peculiar in stitution on the part of the National Goyernment, and they have frequently as serted that they would not accept any Federal laws tending to the abolition of polyga my. One of the prominent Mormon Eldera recently said in a Brooklyn meeting of the faithful that Brigham. Young's people were ready to take up arms and shed blood'if neces sary rather than submit to the harsh rules of the Gentiles, or to lose their right to have as many wives as they prowled. He claimed that there was no dissension among the followers of Young in regard to the question of permitting • Congress to destroy their doctrines by legislation—that they were unitedly in favor of protecting themselves against any such action,, even to the declaration of hostilities, He mentioned that the apprehensions of the Mormons were greatly aroused by the •strong anti-polygamy sentiments which were uttered by "%rice-Fred dent Colfax during his late visit to Salt Lake City in company with Mr. Albert I). Richard son and(Governorßross,of Illinois. The elder also spoke in reference to the Aomori camp now being organized in Utah, stating that it was to be situated at a place along one of, the main routes. to .the West, and that It was in ! tended to afford both defensive and aggressive advantages. The leaders Of the large force will be se lected, it is said, from among . those who hay& enjoyed military experience in Europe or., in this country, and who have the confidence of Brigham Young. it is also whispered in Mor mon circles hereabouts that the camp will be supplied with a large quantity of ordnance, and ordnance stores. The quiet and system atic manner in which the encampment has been formed, the largo number of men, brought together, and the general tone and spirit of the Mormons' talk give good ma sons for supposing that they are determined 'to protect their cherished institution from. danger. Within a day or two 'past despatches have been received from the Secretary of War by Major-General McDowell, commanding the. Department of the East, ordering him to haVe all the spare troops under Ids command in readiness to march at a minute's notice. The secret manner in which the orders Were for warded to General McDowell, and the speedy way in which they have bean executed are regarded by sonauas an indication that the destination of the troops is Utali,and that they will be used ass a garrison for the United States forts at that place, thus securing to the Government the means to meet any emer gency which may occur by the sudden up rising of the Mormons. It is hinted that this important military measure was devised. by General Sherman. Yesterday General Mc- Dowell issued orders to the officers command ing troops stationed at the various' forts in New York Harbor to hold their forces in readiness to move this morning, supplied with ten days' rations. The Department force num bers between 1,200 and 1,500 soldiers of all arias. Some of these belong at Fort Trum bull, New London Harbor, under command of General Brannan; others are stationed at Sackett'ir':,.....rbor, under command of Colonel Duryea; but the majority of General Mc- Dowell's troops form the garrisons at Forts Hamilton, Wadsworth and Schuyler, under command of General Vogdes. Only about three hundred men will be enabled to start, this morning. They will be provided with two days' cooked rations, besides caruingeightdays' uncooked rations. None of the soldiers. not even the officers, know the meaning of the mysterious movement, which has been kept a profound secret hy the Wash ington authorities. During yesterday the Quarter caster's and Commissary Depart. merits were busily engaged in preparing for the movement. It is thought that troops will be despatched from other military depart ments in .a similar manner. Another story is that the troops are to be sent to Minnesota, to settle the Red River difficulties, but the military officials decline to furnish the secret of the matter to the public.— ...- THE COAL-MINE DISASTER IN WALES Twenty-six Lives Lost. The English papers of the lith instant give the particulars of the recent fatal explosion in the Welsh collieries at Wigan, from which we extract the following : " The explosion occurred shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the first indi cation at the pit-bank was a report as from a heavy piece of artillery, followed immedi ately by the issuing front the No. 5 shaft of a dense cloud of smoke and coal-dust, • which spread over the whole district. It is stated that some of the soot fell in Hindley church yard, a mile and a half away, and the report was beard at quite •as great a distance. The residents in the long rows of colliers'. cottages near the pit, and the managers,of the adjacent collieries, knew too well what had happened, .and they hurriedly made their way to the colliery, the first to learn, if possible, the extent of the disaster, and the second to render what a.ssistauce was in their power. The force of the blast was plainly apparent from the manner in which the iron plate at the bottom of the cage was twisted and turned, and, as it was feared that. very great damage bud been done in the No. 5 shaft, it, was first deemed advisable to rig up a pulley . over the No. 6, which could be worked by the cast engines, and a stream of water was also sent into this shaft to improve the ventilation. However, by disconnecting the Cate from the conducting rods it was found possible to pro ceed down the No. .b in safety, and the new pulley was not needed for the purpose of ex ploration. "The upper seams, the five and four feet, were soon examined, and tidings were sent to the surface that the explorers had been all around these workings and had found two dead bodies,. both - lymig near the four-feet . mouthing, and both having apparently been ,killed by eoncqpiou.. It now became certain that the catastrophcebad taken place, in the six feet, wherein nearly thirty men •and boys were employed, but as four o'clock was the hour for knocking oft' work, and as several of the men had been wound to the surfaCe, it was impossible to state positively how many were down. It was •at first hoped that the total would not be over a dozen, but there is • now no doubt the list of dead will be more than twice that number. ,4 2he operations below were, continued until about a quarter past eleven o'clock, at which time eight dead bodies bad been sent up, and there were twenty searchers in the seam in which the disaster occurred, It was eventually decided that no fUrther attempt tct enter the workings should be made that, night, and.about one o'clock this morning the prim, cipal engineers left•the colliery, after .arrang, lug for a consultation to take place this after-', noon, and about that time also the crolvd ocra wnozn cotivrity. , • , asaemWed near thO'colliery, began to disperse, ibotighinahy remained at their posts all night. The brownian left on duty had strict orders to keepilotie watch otrthe body of smoke which ascended the shaft, but he perceived no change whatever eitlierin. quantity or 5me11..:.: "As the *hole of the, workings: ave not yet 'been examined, and in all probability the spot where the , rgas was ignited has not been reached; fie opinion cab be expressed as to the cause of the explosion. Those who believe the atmospheric pressure has much to do with these catastrophes point to the fact that the barometer wini exceedingly low yesterday."

Pala 'of llowlando and Dunn. (IromtbeDenver(WlJNews of November Z.) .We are in receipt of the following letter from an old friend in Southern Utah. .It doulltless is conclusive as to the fate of the three missing men of the Powell party. We hope to learn more particulars before long: ; ST. GEORGE, Utah, Nov. 11.-4 V. N. Byers: Your !Mei' received per last mail. In reply I will state there were three men of the Colorado, Exploring Expedition, 'Linder Major Powell, killed by Indians about thirty or forty . miles from this; place. Friendly Indians came in and Stated that three white men were found in a perishing' condition by the KibatheLs, and were brought into their camp, fed and re covered, and sent forward from this place on the regular trail ; that on their way they came across a squaw gathering seeds, and that they debauched and shot her. This enraged the tribe,and they were pursued, foully murdered,' and left far the. wolves to eat—not allowing whites even-to go and bury them. •It has been very well ascertained that the whole of this was a sheer fabrication, and that the Indians wantonly murdered the three men •for what they had, I talked with MajOr Powell about these men, but did not write doWn the names. They left the . Major and party at the mouth of the Pabsear, a , creek emptying into the Colo rado, about one hundred miles southeast of this, On aecount Of, the "danger of passing down the rapids, they chose the dangers of land travel. The Major gave. them his fire arms and ammunition. the, party had little food, so they bad to hunt for a living. Major Powell arrived herein seven or eight days after the three left him, all Safe, and was anxious about the others.' I will take all possible measures to obtain. all the facts and particulars in the matter, and Write you: I don't think the hones have been buried; Some friendly Indians might bo in duced, by good pay, to go out and gather and bring in the bones if desired. Yours truly. ,T. E. JOHNSON. ' Longfellow has so thoroughly.. immortalized beautiitil Minnehalia that no visitor thinks of leaving the State without paying his devotions upon the shrine of that waterfall. .T. E. Whit ney, of this city, wishing to secure photographs of it in all its phases, sent Mr. ChaS. Zimmer man ir, Minnehaha. -yesterday morning to take some winter views. Mr. Zimmerman placed his instruments, and, while preparing to work, like nearly all other visitors who go there, concluded to gratify his taste for the beautiful by passing under the fall and looking out through the spray, &c. It was about 3 P. M. when Mr. Zimmerman passed under the fall, and it chanced that no other visitors were present. Shortly before 4 P. M. Mr. Haines, a photographic artist from Chicago, went to Minnehaha, and also con cluded to pass under the falls. He had scarcely got under the rock when a startling sight met his eye. A huge icicle, perhaps weighing two or three hundred pounds, loosened by a thaw, bad severed its connection with the roof above, and had fallen upon Mr. Zimmerman, crushing him down and leaving him insensible beneath it. Mr. Haines quickly sprang for ward and rolled the icicle off into the falls, and' then" calling for assistance, began the, work of restoring the unconscious artist. He was almost frozen, and entirely insensible. He was carried to the public house near by, and proper restoratives administered, which soon restored him to consciousness. Mr. Zimmerman says that, while admiring the beauty of the fall and the peculiar forma tion 'of the ice, something struck him upon the head, and that WaS the last ho knew about it. He thinks he must have been insensible over half an hour. His head, neck and shoul ders, and also one limb were found to be badly bruised, but fortunately no bones were broken. He had so far recovered that he came home on the evening train, but could scarcely Walk, and was suffering considerable pain. The Expected Papal Bulls—.. The Queen of Wuctem btrg—The Czar and the Poles ...Isabella's Abdication. A Roman correspondent,writing under date of Nov. 11th, has the following interesting in formation Queen Olga, of Wurtemburg, arrived here last week, anti a few days ago .paid a visit to the Pope, with whom she had a long conver sation. The Pope complained that the Wur ternburg Government acted in a spirit of hostility to Catholics, and, without waiting for a reply, added, "lint the Wurtemburg Government is lenient compared with that of your brother, whose persecution of the Poles is unremitting. My predecessor supplicated the Emperor Nicholas on behalf of the poor Poles, but could obtain no indulgence for them." " The Iloly Father then made an energetic , "appeal to the ' Queen to intercede for Poland, concluding with a solemn warning that the present policy of her brother would provoke diVine venge ance. The Queen, who listened in silence, wag. deeply moved, and is said to have left the saloon trembling. She asked Monsignor Pacca, the major-demo, for his arm ; but it is contrary to limn= etiquette for a prelate to give his arm to a lady, and Monsignor Pacca adroitly made way for the Marquis Sachetti, the Pope's grand equerry. It was not till this morning that the Pope returned the Queen's visit, proceeding in state, with a train 'of five carriages, to the Hotel Costanzi, where her Majesty is staying. The carriages were escorted by twenty noble guards ci cheval and thirty dragoons. I am able to confirm the statement n... 3 to the intention of the Pope to issue immediately two bulls, one relating to the discipline of the Council, and the other prescribing the course to be pursued in event of his death while the Council is sitting. These bulls, I believe, are not to be promulgated in the usual way by the official journal, but will be communicated to the fathers of the Council during a secret sitting. The apprehensions of opposition in tilt., Connell seem to have cooled down. It is said that the Emperor Napoleon remarked. to Cardinal Bonneehose, at his audience of leave, "I 'believe.youreminence will nut be long away, . for ,they assure me that the. Bishopa only go to Item to sign." The Popo repudiates this lame conclusion. A day or two ago ho was beard to'.observe to a high personr age that he wished; on the contrary, the fullest discussion of 'the various questionsfor debate, and that ho believed _they would be most carefully weighed by the bishops. The Queen of ',Spain; by her, abdioation in favor of the Prince of Asturias, has removed the obstacles to her reception by the Court of. Rome, and the Popo' has sent her a cordial in-, vitation to visit the eternal city. She will be accompanied by the' young Prince, .who is to receive his first communion from thehauds of, the Pope; I belitiVe - ldartaignorFran"bt will' not return to Madrid,‘but will become Nuncio; at Paris as soon as MonsignorChigireeelirea'; ; the bat.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Wednesday, Nov. 10,180. —Salnave seems to be preparing for the worst. Be is concentrating his forces and putting up cannon wherever there is an available place in the city, iu defence. of himself. The palacg, is surrounded with cannon also; and it is said it is Salnave's intention to pull down the buildings and houses in the neighborhood of the palace the better to protect his position. It is reported that the steamer Pequod has made common cause with the revolutionists. It is anticipated that the present warlike appearance of things here is the precursor of bad times and great trouble for the city. At the presentthne there is not a single man-of-war of any nation in port, to protect foreigners in case of emergency.. ('en. Vii Lubin arrived here and was well received by President Salnave, who immediately ap.. pointed him to the command of Fort Bizolow, from which place, however, he has suddenly disappeared. Produce is coming in, but busi ness is stagnant. Exchange is at 2boo. PROCLAMATION •BY SALNAVB The following proclamation,which confirms the news of Chevalier's defection, appeared in the Government • organ, the Moniteur, the Oth.of November To the People and tO the Arnry—lLttriArts : After the unfortunate surrender of the army of Gonaives, under the command of Victoria Chevalier; after the unwarrantable and. ex travagant acts he had committed at the capital during my sojourn at ('amp Bondet, I never theless ventured to nominate him to the high position of Minister of War and Marine, to satisfy his insatiable ambition, and • the better to have an eye upon his 'Mariam and hypo: critical retrogressions. Shortly after, at the head bf the army be, sieging Jacmel, he has from the nature. of his high functions—after two months' sojourn be fore that city—betrayed,my confidence and raised the standard of revolt at the head of the army he commanded, without reflecting that he contributed,by that act of infamous treason, to augment the 'evils which for so long a time afflicted our unfortunate country. Haytians ! It is on the 4th of this month of November that Victoria Chevalier betrayed his command, in pretending that the army under his orders had voluntarily bestowed on him the title of chief of the popular army, and in using the name of General VII Lubin as Provisional President, and in seeking finally to seduce from allegiance General Jean, Chrisostom Nhysse,. Commandant ,of the De partment of the West, and Hector Rebecca, Commandant of the District of Leogane. These,two honorable officers have done their duty towards one by remitting me their des patches addressed to them. They have done worthily. I congratulate them. This act, without example in our political antecedents, instead of enfeebling me, adds to my stability, for, as I have promised to the nation, in the face of Cod and of man; I will chastise all these traitors ; I will purge society trent these ambitious men who Meat it; 'I will reestablish pUblic order and national se curity. In consequence thereof; Victoria Chevolier, ,Ex-Secretary of State for War and Marine, is placed without the pale of the law. All citi zens are invited to abandon him, and the offi cers generally of the army are absolved from all obedience to him.
