NASHVILLE, Sept. .16.—The BOnner re
ceived by 'telegraph from Knoxville to
day a proclamation _from Gov. Brownlow
and issued it in extra : form. The procla
mation declares there are armed bands of
secret conspirators against the State who
,have;- been commiting and (continue
to commit - 'outrages upon defenseless and
:Inoffensive loyal citizens, recites the. act "of
the Legislature giving the Governor power
to call out the milltia.-und says:
In pursuance of this act I call upon the
•good, loyal and patriotic people, white and
colored, of every county in Ale State, to
proceed without delay and raise companies
of loyal and able-bodied men, and report
the same to. me at Nashville. Whether
any of the companies, white or colored, so
organized will be actually called into the
field, will depend entirely upon the conduct
of the people themselves in the several
counties. 'earnestly 'hope that there will
be no occasion to call out these troops, but
that the efforts of all the citizens to preserve
and maintain the peace will succeed, and
thus obviate the necessity of this stern re
sort. But if. unhappily, better councils do
not prevail, and order is not restored, and I
am compelled to put down armed marau
ders by force, I propose to meet them with
such numbers and in such manner as the
exigency sh.ill demand, whatever may be
the consequence. will not be deterred
from the discharge of my duty herein by
threats of violence from rebel speakers or
rebel newspapers, nor .by any other means
of intimidation.
The Governor says be prefers that these
t roops shall be raised in East Tennessee; and
therefore does not limit the number -of
companies in any county. In reference 'to
the promise of Federal troops to keep peace
be says: "should the Department Com
mander be furnished With sufficient force
to keep' order I will cheerfully co-operate
with him, that State guards may not be
call e.d - into service." ,

about the 13th of November next, is being
prosecuted with great diligence throughout
the British isles. At many places women
formally demanded their names to be
placed on the lists of voters, on the ground
that they possessed the property qualifica
tions prescribed 'by the Reform bill, and
the legal aspects of the question, as
well as the extent of the movement,
have excited much ,public interest on
the subject. Over six thousand women
claimea the right Ito be registered in Man
chester alone, and their demands were ar
gued in an able speech before the register
ing officiaLs by Miss Lydia Brecker. After
argument on both sides tho claim was dis
allowed. - Similar proc'eedings took place
in other towns . and in some cases the ques
tion has been finally brought before the
Judges of Westministti. They have over
ruled the application of the women to be
registered as voters on 'the wound that au
amendment to the Reform bill, which was
proposed in the House of Commons by Mr.
Mills, substituting the word “person" for
"man" was rejected. By this action the
House clearly indicated the intent and pur
pose of the bill in this respect.

NUMBER 223.
EN ROUTE WESTWARD.
(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.
