Wc ure pleased to hear, from reliable quarters, that our first intelligence of the neglect of duty upon the part of the bridge keeper was incorrect, and that lie was promptly upon the spot and went through his usual tour of inspection. It appears that part of the bridge was so rotten, and from the long dry spell that has for months visited all parts of the coun try, so linblc to ignite that alarms of fire were of constant occurance. In this in stance the fire broke out among the lower portious of tile bridge, and after it ascended to the covering of shingles one might just as well have attempted to suppress a fire in loose gun powder. We may form some idea of the terrible fury of the flame from this fact: that the bridge caught fire about 3 o’clock, and by sundown not a stick of timber as large as one’s wrisr was left throughout the whole span of near 1,900 feei. The present inconvenience to passengers is not as great as we supposed it would have been before we visited the spot. We saw the up train with the passengers and bag gage carried round by way of the ferry in about one hour. The freight trains have not ceased running, as usual, from this point to the present terminus at the bridge, and from thence the entire distance up they will run from to-day. Freights will be passed over the river from this date by way of the ferry and the ford, and it is thought highly probable by some that the wagon bridge may be used for tliis purpose during the week, but this to us seems altogether impossible. We have un derstood that contracts have been closed for the transportation of freights across the river, including the unloading and replac ing the freight, for 5 cents per 100 lbs, and for the conveyance of passengers, 50 cents each, including ferriage. The Superintendent has already had fin ished turn tables on both sides of the river, with the needful sidings, and a large amount of the timber necessary for a wagon bridge for the transportation of freights. This bridge will be finished by the first of nest week, it is thoughi. but we did not sec how hands enough could be put to work on such a structure to finish it with such dispatch. If the bridge should be erected by that time it will be highly creditable to the manage ment of the Road, and passengers will then experience a delay of only about 20 minutes and freights will be kept back not more than 24 hours. Of course the facilities that the old bridge would have supplied to the con tractor in the erection of the new somewhat modify the contract and, we sup pose, increase the expense, yet the entire cost of the new work, and a far better one than the one it replaces, uill not, we arc in formed, cost more than §70,000 The point that will excite most remark, and probably the most opposition, will be th The Fi rst Locomotive.--It is stated that the conscientious physician, who lias spent years first locomotive ever seen in the United : under ^ most f avora ble circumstances for States, was purchased in Liverpool, Eng- j the acquisition of knowledge, in the honest land, by Rogers, Kctchum & Grosvenor, of; and laborious investigation of disease and Paterson, in New Jersey, for six thousand its remedies, but who finds himself con- dollars, and used by them as a pattern. ‘ stantly outstripped in the road to fortune She had ten wheels on engine and tender by the man, as unscrupulous, as ignorant, drivers ineludid, which bear but little re- ; who professes to cure all diseases with a semblance to the present locomotive wheels.

Whenever, the time comes that their labor is net needed, or may be superseded by any other labor, He who permitted their introduction among us will provide for their removal, and use the ways and means best suited to His great purpose. The popula tions in all Europe are disposed to neap abuse on American slavery, and to boast that they have no such thing as slave ry. Let us enquire, for a moment, if this is true. In passing through the towns in England you will, in different streets or stations, observe a soldier with musket or bayonet, standing or walking a few steps to and fro, day and night; now this is only one of fifty thousand, whose duty it is to obey orders as a slave obeys them, without being allowed tbe least discretion or liberty. He cannot leave his post or barrack, or be absent on tbe most urgent occasion, with out permission. There are many laborers, mechanics, and manufacturers, who think they do not receive a just compensation for their labor. This man of the bayonet in forms them by his presence that they had better be quiet and earn their wages; this man is not only a slave himself all his life, to a despotic law administered by a despot of almost unlimited power, but is willingly employed to suppress every act of the people that indicates liberty and free dom of opinion. Let it be rememembered here that the labor of every man and wo man who earns bread is required to furnish the means of his subsistence and clothing. Now, whatever is true in England of the military surveillance of the people, is espec ially true in France, Austria, Prussia and Russia; we will, therefore, inquire how many of these defenders of liberty and the people’s rights each of the Five Powers own. We will set down England at 50,000 for the island; 500,000 India and the colonies; France, 500,000; Austria, 500,000; Prus sia, 121,000, and Russia 700,000. Added together you thus have a standing army of 2,370,000 slaves, who are not only absolute slaves themselves, but willing to keep others in the same condition. But if the Southern States require any thing to stimulate them in their great enter prise, let them look at Spain. Two or three centuries ago, the most wealthy and power ful nation in Europe; her agriculture neg lected, she has now no surplus to send abroad, save a little wine and fruit. Let them look at Turkey. At one time so pow erful as to threaten the overthrow of west ern Europe; now so poor as to have no re sources for the defence of her national ex istence. Her fields are exhausted and worn out by neglect and bad tillage; she has nothing to export but figs, some fruits and oil, and some of the light wines of the Grecian archipelago. To conclude this most unsatisfactory address, let the South ern people keep before their eyes the fact that there are no worn out lands in Eng land, France, Prussia, Belgium, Hollander Switzerland, and that these are the strong and staple nations of Europe. I am, gentlemen, most respectfully your friend and servant, WM. TERRELL. Sparta Ga., Dee., 1854. Condition of thc Allied Army. T'ie facts which we publish to day, con cerning affairs in the East, are calculated to startle those who have hitheroto believed the great Allied Army of invasion was yet to return under the banners of victory, moro horrible condition of things could hard ly be conceived. The army is not only without plans and without discipline, it is absolutely on tbe verge of despair. Every thing seems conspired to insure its speedy destruction. Officers have lost their spirit, provisions and clothing fail, the foul at mosphere of Crimean bogs and infected hos pitals are finishing the work. This is no fancy picture. It is drawn from, innumerabl and welle authenticated facts before us. “The army and its mana gers at home and abroad,” says one, dream rather than live, in any waking or active sense of the word. They feel, and see, and hear;—they even speak and intend, but do nothing. It is so from the lowest to the highest.” Another, writing under a tent, says even of the fresh troops that they ab solutely despair, become reckless, cease to prepare their food, go into hospital and die. It is, indeed, a state of things, unhappy and humilitating as it may be, now confessed by all. Paris, London and provincial jour nals alike are tilled with the afflicting de tails. Various are the causes assigned.— Some ascribe it to mismanagement, some to chance, others make severe reflections upon the military capacity of people, the fame of whose arms once filled thc world. All, however, agree in tliis: not half the brave men sent to thc Crimea will ever see their homes again. The chances are now that the army will be entirely destroyed. The miserable condition of the poor wretches in the hospitals af Scutari is best calculated to arouse our pity. The records of history do not, we venture to assert, fur nish a solitary example, that can be com pared with this. Never before was so great an expedition undertaken with so little thought and provision for the sick and wounded. Crowded together in ill prepared and ill doing S. Senate. If we had not long ago lost all our respect for the authorities of that State and been forced to regard her people as among the most unscrupulous, lawless and selfish on the earth, we would say that it is matter for serious regret that a common wealth so honored by its antecedents should have fallen so low in the scale of social as well as political repute as to fill Edward Everett’s place with such a venal Swiss as this man Wilson. No seat has been too high for his presumptuous ambition nor any place too dirty for him to pass through in reaching the goal of his desires. Let no man or people after this boast from present advantage or position.

On Wednesday, Mr. Richard son, who had been a strenuous advocate of a grant of two millions acres of land, see ing that this rode the bill too heavily, him self moved to strike out the donation, reserv ing only the right of way. Mr. Benton said: The striking out of the land beats the snake story all hollow. The man said he had seen five hundred snakes. When this was doubted, he came down to one hundred; then to fifty-six; and, finally, to twenty-five, when he would not fall another snake.— [Laughter.] Is not this making sport of Congress, sir—are we to allow ourselves to be treated in this manner ? This is sport ing with legislation, sir. If a man attack these schemes, they fall in their demands as tbe man did in the number of his snakes, until they get down to nothing, sir. “Brag ging” I have seen before—but I never play ed the game. It is an outrage, sir; and I denounce it as such. [Mr. Benton spoke with great earnestness.] Mr. Richardson. 1 alluded this morning to a conference with the gentleman from Maine and myself. On this statement the gentleman from Missouri gets himself in the position of the boy who said to his father: “Hold me or I’ll do something terrible.”— “What will you do my son ?? “I'll rush out and pull a board off the pig pen.” [Laugh- ter.] sympathise with those of the Southern press who bemoan this last conduct of the State of Massachusetts, nor do we in the least share the dread of those who regard this event as ominous of ensuing and increasing difficulty. We. shall feel no patriotic pangs either when Seward is returned to the same “ au gust body,” and still less when that prince of charlatans and political rogues, Sam Houston, allies himself with the incendiary squad. For all this must either kill or cure, and then we will be taken out of the cate gory of lingering deaths that has distin guished every phase of our abolition ex perience. We of the South have never been exactly anything at all, in all we have said or done by way of defending ourselves against the most daring, unprovoked and degrading oppression that was ever heaped upon a people. And if our artful foe will only continue to “ make haste slowly,” and do one thing at a time, they may yet live to see the day—and that day may not keep them waiting long either—when Seward will have more than his friend Harry Bald win to back him up in his fight for “ aboli tion everywhere.” We say this thing of war on the South must cure itself, one way or the other, either by wearing itself out or wearing us out. And, as all the Southern schemes we have yet had for organizing countervailing measures in our behalf have rather helped than crippled the enemy, sup pose we leave the whole matter to them, and it is not impossible that out of the love of change that characterises New England pol iticians—male and female, we may have a party organized after a ich ile y upon a pure ! pro-slavery basis. This is about as likely, j we think, as that any effective policy wi ! command the hearts and arms of all our 1 own people in defence of our dearest rights, j Every thing is now so dull that we look ; forward to the prospect of the exhilarating j storm that Wilson & Company will raise | next session with the joy of a “ Mother | Carey’s chicken.’’ and influential ladies, members of some one of our churches, once in a quarter to canvass covered with a composition of mud and plore,Tolicit>~urge,*beg,"pout, TmileTflatTe'r j “°^ an ?

Evident ly New York is not a good field for snowy operations. Going down Duane st., yesterday, I found tlie street was blockaded with women trying to gain entrance to a building. It seemed to be full and about 300 were crowding and jamming each other to get in. Each wo man had a basket and many had babies al so. Thc place was the office of 6th Ward Relief Association. Many seemed to be complaining that they did uot receive what they ought to, and were treated unfairly.— I looked in vain for the face of an American woman ; all were Irish and German, look ing hearty and healthy. It is to be feared that soup houses and relief associations are inducements to the lazy and thriftless to ex pect relief and depend upon them for sup port. Hard times—no work—what shall we do? —is still the cry. Notwithstanding gift balls, and gift concerts, and soup kitchens, and aid associations, and individual chari ties of all kinds, in all the ten thousand, ways of being benevolent*from those dona tions, when the left hand knows* not what tho right hand doeth to those when the trumpet is sounded loud and long before— notwithstanding all that is now done for the poor, in this fashionable time of giving, still the cry comes up on every side for more—more. Many, not only those of the poorest sort, but many a family which has “ seen better days.” Wives and children of professional men, of respectable and educat ed men, have been brought to the very doors of starvation, not knowing how the next morsel of food would be obtained. Yet, flooded as we are with the offscouring of European beggardom, burdened as we are by so many who will not work if they can, even miserably live without labor—there is danger that charities so called for and given with the best motives, may be turned from their proper channels so as to minister to an evil they are designed to remedy. There fore benevolent people in the country, to whom such suffering as is observable to such a pitiable extent around us in all beyond what they know of the pressure of poverty, should be charged, if they are moved to give of what the Lord hath bountifully giv en them to relieve the poor and unfortunate of our city, to give wisely, and give your funds or provisions to those who will see that they accomplish the object designed.— The Society for the Relief of American Widows is one that discriminates carefully, and that finds many of the starving who are too proud to beg. The Children’s Aid Society is another agency by which the de serving poor can be reached. If you know j any individual in the city who lias a good j name for works among the poor you can j make him your almoner. We have among us a gentleman lately ar- j rived from England, whose fame is known | in every part of the world. Our readers ; PROCEEDINGS OF COUNC L. ' Council Chamber, Atlanta i February 2d, 185o!
