(Correspondence of the rittaburgn Gazetie..), ' Sr. Locus, Sept. 12, 1808 I arrived at this city by river yesterday, and concluded to rest till Monday before proceeding further west. It is aMI le more than a year since I was last here, but every thing looks as familiar as if it were only a week. People complain of the dullness'of business; yet the work of building and ex tending, of adding house to house, block ti) block, street to street, it is said, was"never progressing faster than at present. The room in which to expand is practically un limited. The most interesting thing here just now in the way of enterprise is the great bridge over the Mississippi river directly opposite the heart of the city. This bridge will cross the channel of the river on three spans—one of 515 feet, and two of 497 feet each, making in all 1,509 feet. It will surprise many to learn that this great river can be spanned by a bridge so short as this, but it is even so. Indeed it is less than half the width of 'the Upper Mississippi at Quincy, 150 miles above the mutt' of the Missouri. There. are few . places where It is so narrow as here. But of course the depth and power of the eurrent is correspondingly increased ;• and this it is that renders the construction of a bridge at this point difficult and expensive. The two,piers in the channel of the river. are to be 145 and 147 feet high reapectively, from the rock foundation. This rock is covered with a heavy layer of sand, which must be removed by the use of cais sons and coffer clams. The bridge is to be so high as to admit of the passage of steamers beneath it, and is to have an upper and lower roadway—the upper, which is to be used as an ordinary carriage and foot way, is to be 34 feet wide beneath the foot walks. The latter are to be each eight feet wide, making the bridge 50 feet wide be tween the railways—equal to an ordinary street. Eighteen feet below this capiage way there is to be a double track railway, each track to pass through arched openings in the abutments and piers. On the east or Illinois side these tracks will curve northward and southward over arched ways of the reciuisite elevation, de— scending to the level of the present roads on that side of the river, at the rate of one foot in a hundred. The ordinary roadway will . descend to the level of the American Bottom between these curved railroad tracks at the rate of four feet to, one hundred.. On the west, or city side, the bridge is to be carried over streets and blocks, on arches and truss bridges to the crossing of Third street and Washington avenue. At that point it is to enter a tunnel under Washing ton avenue, and follow that street to Ninth, where it bears off in a southwestwardly direction to a point near Clark avenue, where the road emerges from its subterra nean course of 4,800 feet under the centre of the densest portion of ) the city. brings it to the level of the existing ra: running westward and southward, within three sQuares of them This is probably the most gigantic prise of the- kind ever undertaken. cost is estimated at $4,406,953. The super structure of the bridge is to be constructed in part of iron and in part of cast steel. I cannot pretend to give a statement of the plan further than to say that the roadways are to be sustained by three stupendOus arches. The suspension principle does not enter into it, although the crown of the arches reach to the upper roadway. This bridge will be of vast importance, not Ito this city only, but to the entire country. The stock created is likely to pay a good percentage. Our Republican friends here are in fine spirits, andtonfident of carrying the State. The first Congressional district (General. Pile's) is warmly contested, and by some considered doubtful; but others think there is no danger of. Pile's defeat. Both sides are doing all that men can do; and so well has General Pile borne himself in the pres 4 eat Congress that he is stronger with, loyal men at present than he was in 1866. The Democracy of Missouri, be it remembered, are not Copperheads, - as with us, but downright rebels, many of whom fought against the country. • The Constitution of the State excludes all such from the right of suffrage. ' but in Many of the districts the rekistry laws are "looteiy administered: Still I think you may set Missouri down as safe for Grant by a hand some majority, especially if we Pennsyl vanians do our duty in October. , C. The Reign of Terror in -Arksiness. A letter from Arkansas, • written 'by rt member of Congress from that State, con tains a startling picture of the situation there. The writer says; "An alarming state'of affairs exists here in Arkansas that necessitates the assembling of Congress ion the day designated. A reign—of terror ex.; lets in many parts of the State. County officers are being driven from their homes. Courts, while dispensing justice, are dis persed by armed men Judges are forced to take refuge in the woods t save their lives, and Senators and other . influential men in various parts of the State have been assassi nated in the highways and byways, while In some counties an open state of insurrection exists. Congress. never made a greater blunder than in adjourning without placing in our bands the means of protecting our selves." The Little Rock Berth/lean of the 4th inst. announces' that an, insurrection exists in Craighead county much more for midable in character than that which lately existed in Conway county. The Republi can declares it to be the first outcropping of a formidable movement in behal of the new rebellion. , • TILE Queen Dowager of Prussia is in such feeble health that her only 'tood for months past has been milk and light 'bread. She is paralyzed, and cannot more withotit assistance. Nevertheless, she lalr•es an ac tive part in political intrigues, and has re cently achieved quite a triumph in getting her enemy, General Vogel von' Palciten stein, superseded, and her favorite, the reactionary General Manteuffel, aP pointed in his stead, ' commander-_ in - chief of the first '<East Prussiany army. This General Mantenffel is' the same man. of whom Bisniark .said, during the war of 1860: "He exercises ouch a bane -f ful influence over the King that I will rather intrust him with the command of. the west ern' army, unable as he is to lead it, than have him here at the headquarters !of the eastern army." .Manteuffel, as well as ,the, Queen Dowager, are secret friends of Aus tria, and, if they could, they would over throw Bismark and have it Prussian states man of the old absolutist, school appointed' . Prime Minister.
