The Kortbnmberland Bridge Company have Incn singularly unfortunate.

The old bridges were erected in 1815, at a cost off 90,000. In the Spring of I8S9, tlie bridge on the Xorthumber luii'l side fell, and was rebuilt in about a year, at an expense of about 20,000. Several years after tlie Danville bridge was swept off by the flood, and in its course came in contact with the New Northumberland bridge, and carried off all but one pan. The bridge was again rebuilt the year after. About four years since the old bridgeon the Sun bury side was destroyed by the fretJiet and was rebuilt the year following, and now lies in tlie stream above the piers a perfuct wreck.

Steamboat Collision. The N. O. Picayune gives the following graphic description of a steambiiat accidant on the Mississippi. It is represented as emanating from a story teller, on a boat at Mobile A young man told the incidents of a collision tietween two steamboats on the Mississippi, of a dark, stormy nifht when the pilots could hardly see tlie bows of their respective boats, ami the wind roared over the broad and glmsny xpatiHC of water, which rushed ahmg nntoily, as if to devour and swallow up every thing living in its course.

Tlie narratis" was on a small (mat, going up stream. He was on deck, at a late liour: every eon the watch was intently fixed onthedeep gloom ahead. Now and then, amid the roaring of tho ind and rushing if the water and noise of the engine ami wheels, a low, faint sound could be beard ahead, during the slight lulls of the storm, which, occuring at regular intervals, excited the slecpit attentiisi of tlie officers and deck hands on the little steamer. Suddenly, the loud ringing of a big bell directly ahead startled the watchers a small, red light glimmered through the wind suddenly bushed, anil the deep roaring of steam escaping at quick intervals, accompanied by the rapid whirl and dash of wheels, came thrillingly to the ear. The next moment a loud, hoarse voice exclaimed quickly: "Back your boat 1 back your boat!" The big belt rang out more clearly; a clanking sounnd followed, and by the wide, fierce blaze of six furnaces, tlie look outs cm the small boat discovered comirur directly and too swiftly towards them, the towering proportions of one of the first class river steamers.

The cries, the shrill alarms, the quick, stern or. den, the running to and an i fro of men and officers, the loud plah and roar of the engines and wheels as either boat attempted to back out, fin med a scene of terror and confusion, hicli added to the imminent and fearful danger, and the black night and liowling wind, was thnlhngty exciting and but too lifelike. It was in vain that every exertion was put forth on both sides to prevent the collision the impetus if both boats added to their nearness, when discovered, to each other, rendered an accident inevitable. Tlie buire boat dosed rapidly on the small one, and in another moment her long, sharp bow entered the guard of tlie latter just forward of the boilers, and cut through it and into the hull like a razor. A terrible confuftionarose, amid which the fchricks of women startled every heart.

The officers of both boats preserved their presence ol mind, however the smaller steamer, as soon as she could lie disengaged, was turned towards the fchore, the engines doing their best, ami tlie (icople on board seeming as if by word and gesture they would urge them on faster, hile the dark waters of the Misnissippi rushed into the Tlie shore was near, but fortunately nearer still was a sand liar, a hich tlie pilot cool and collected from the first, ran the litllc steamer asliard and as high as be could.

A Bear Fight The Portland Argui contain! the following Recount of a bear fight which transpired in Ando cr, North Surplus, Oxford en, Maine, on Thursday last "As Erostu Hean, a oung man of 20 years, was haying in his fiehl, accompanied by a boy of ta elve, named Dunn, be looked up and saw near him a large black bear of the white fared breed, (the most savage of the black ariety.) Having taki bis gun with him to shoot patmlges, he caught it tip and fired at the brute, but with little effect as the liear immediately began to close up onhim. Itean means lu'lo, when, just as he had got his charge in, his heel caught against a twig and he fell backwards, and bruin leapt upon bim. Uis situalii si now was frightful, but liis coolness did not forsake him, and he immediately fired again, but with no visible effect Tlie lNarat once went to work, seizing his left arm, biting through il ami lacerating it severely.

Aflairs at the WasHnrcTox, August 2. The end of this unprofitable, protracted, and wasteful Session, is at length and very much to the gratification of those who bava been compelled to witness the reckless neglect of the Democratic majorities during tbe last eight months.

The House adopted the resolution of adjournment as amended by the and fixed the Slst inst for closing tbe legislative accnotrts. This is, by all odds, tlie best days work of the Session, and that which will meet the most favorable response from the country. Since December, when Congress assembled, the steady and persevering aim has been to act for the party and not for tbe country. No measures of public policy" have been' introduced, and tbe minority has been restrained from every attempt at reform by tbe tyranny of an organization such as lias rarely been witnessed in Parliamentary bodies. The majorities would neither legislate themselves, one allow their opponents to legislate for them.

There is some satisfaction in knoaing that the day of accountability will soon succeed that of adjournment It yet remains to be demonstrated that the people are insensible to their own interests, or that a party may commit the grossest outrageson property, abuse confidence, and disregarded, with entire impunity. It may be assumed from this movement that tlie House is satisfied tlie Fisliery Question is in a Ur train of adjuatniCtit When the to adjourn, was lost under consideration, it was tabled at the instance of Mr. Bayly, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Itelations, who atipoed he saw in tlie threatening aspect of the subject good reason for tbe continued presence of Cingrees. All the recent intelligence bos given a favorable turn to this controversy, and the official Assurances wliicli have been received, do not concede tbe probability of any further embarrassment As soon as the forms can be completed, the difficulty will be honorably accommodated. It will afford tbo functionaries if both Governments the opportunity of making citiLties, which are less expenme than campaigns, Tliere will be more business dona in the remaining four weeks than during the post eight months.

Tlie rule recently adopted by the Senate, requiring all the appropriation bills to be sent up (en days before the day fixed fur tlie adjournment, will hare a happy effect in stimulating members. It will serve the double purpose, of saving the country from hasty and imperfect legislation, by allowing proper time fur tlie consideration of the supplies and of compelling the House to assume its full responsibility for any neglect By way of turning over a new leaf, the House rattled off the Military Academy bill, and then took up tlie Civil and Diplomatic Appropriations. As this is tbe great Omnibus into which everytliing is crowded, and upoti which etery manner of specih is hung, it depends upon the will of the majority how much indulgence will be tolerated. This is no time for vapid declamation. The hole session lias been squandered in speech making, and no apology cao be found for any further ante fif time.

II the House would set to work in earnest and de vote itself entirely to legitimate husiucxs, all the supply bills might easily be passed in the next ten days. The chairman uf the committee of ways ami means, whose lead is followed by the mujonty, lias tlie power to accomplish this ilesirahlu object and to secure for many important interest', that consideration hich they so much need.

ortli Aoienrtn. President Fillmore and Oen. Scott. We are permitted by the gentleman to whom it was addressed, to make public the following ex tract from a letter of President Fillmore, dated the 19th inst. It was written in reply to one the Pres ident had received from a vi arm iersonal friend and zealou supporter, on the Bubject of tlie late Whig nomination at Baltimore.

It breathes the right spirit and is alike horsd able to the writer and the illustrious nominee. The letter was obvi ously not iutended fur publication, and would most probably never have seen tlie tight but for the calumnious rumors lately circulated, by the enemies of both, that the Preside nt was desirous of defeatiug Gen. Scott's election; a rumor cootra dieted by the whole tenor of the Pre ident's life. It is fir the purise of doing him justice, and in the full persuasion that hu tlesires no concealment ofhis sentiments on the subject in question, that the receiver of the letter ventures to make known tboe scntimente, as expressed by the President himself, in the freedom of frundly intercourse. eitbact.

Wa July 19, 1832. I was not disappointed, nor had I anything to egret in tlie result of the Baltimore Contention. The approbation which that Convention expressed of tlie policy ubich 1 had pursued, in tlie resolu tions which it adopted, was more gratifying tome, than to have received the nomination. I cannot doubt that General Scott intends to car ry out the principles of the Whig party in good faith, if elected, and it set Ins to me that he is justly entitled to tho support of eery true Whig. I am, tlieicfore, gratified to learn from your letter that ou intend togitehima cordial and hearty support Emptying his years ago, a collection was taken up in his native town for the ptirpne of increasing the Suuday ScJkmiI Library, and I rcinc nilicr with pride tbe satisfaction it gave me to see General Pierce empty his pockets at frcrlu a he iliil for that ami object" Correspondent of Lofton Pont.

Tlie wicked editor of the Manchester American has raked out the dust of ages the record of the benevolent deed. He say as follows "Now we have in our oecseioii the original doccumeiit which records that wonderful youthful act of the General. It reads as follows Hau miuol oil, March 10, 1827. wWe, the undersigned, do pniinise (o pay (he sums annexed to our names to purchase (suits for a Sabbath ScIhsiI Library. V.

Tlie above is a true copy. Tlie largest subscription on the paper is one dollar and the smallest 25 cents. About the middle of the list is "Fruliklin Pierce, 25 cents." Thus the General, at 23 years of age, emptied his Jiockets by giiing 25 cents. Gen. Scott's wound in the shoulder, rcccii 1 at Lundy's Lane, has prevented him from us'ng his left inn in dresiinjr.since it was received.

First in order, we present the (act that after bis ghirious achievements at Fort George, Chippewa and Lumlya Lane, the legislature of the state of New Turk resolved to present him with a splendid sword.

He was apprised of tliis attention by D.uv iel D. Tompkins, then governor, in the following letter: BW Yotr, December 94, 1914.

In ail Fir, to your claims todistlnctlon.

It would be sufficient to say, that on all occasions you have dunlay ed the highest military accomplish mtute, Iho most ardent attachment to the rights and honor of your country, and the most intrepid exertions In their support.

UENERAL SCOTTS REPLY.

Nearly five weeks since Mr. Jacob M.

Velie, of La Orance, had a gold watch stolen, from his coat pocket, which was hanging on the fence near where be was at work in the harvest field, and no trace of it could be obtained till last Saturday. On that day a man went into the jewelry store of William S. Morgan, of this place, and inquired for a watch key, and holding a watch in his hand, the face down, tried several, but none would fit. Mr. Morgan then requested tbe man to let him take it and he would fit a key.

Tlie request was at first refused, but finally complied with. On taking tbe watch Mr. Morgan recognized it as the one he had sold to Mr. Velie. The watch was retained, and the man left the store uttering a volley of threats of law.

Neither tlie man or the law have troubled Mr. Morgan since. Tbe watch is now in tbe possession of the owner, and the thief is at large, reflecting on his guilt in stealing tbe watch and blowing himself for being so silly in exposing it We notice among the honorary degrees conferred at Hamilton College, at the List commencement, was that of A.

is the opinion of many of our people that the loco fiico organs, or a portion of them, are preparing to abandon Oen. fierce, and content themselves a ith simply opposing (Jen. ScotL For some three or four wer lis the resses to which we allude hae hardly suij a word about Tierce, and but that his name remains at the head cf thuir columns to indicate that he is the jiarty candidate, it would bo difficult for the unsophisticated reader to understand under whose flag they were enlisted All their articles, and all their blowings, have reference only to Oen. Scott and in tlieir engerness to clam, or about him, and find some weapon WHI4 which to assail lu'in, poor fierce ii left entirely in the background. We call smh treatment decidedly unfair.

If they intend to support Tierce in earnest they are in honor bound to say something about him, that he may at least appear to be an object of a little interest, and not give Oen. Scott such a complete monopoly of their attention. It is true flea Scott's name is alone of importance to the people, for with him they will have to do in the end but (till we think a small share of attention due to their own candidate if but in the way of compliment. We nmkc these remarks because we dislike to see a man, if an opponent, treated with marked slight by those who profess to be his defender.

We bold that it is the duty of the press and the ieople, from this day forward, to enquire first to know whether a boat is properly provided in respect to all the essentials that belong to XTVry.and that bo boat not thus provided should receive ei tlier compliment or patronage.

Then the Argus said enough in favor of Scott, anil told the truth, because it gave disinterested testimony. It honestly and unhesitatingly ranked him among the worthies of the Revolution, and could hardly have gone further. Such is the evidence of the reputation of Oen Scott in the war with Oreat Britain, when, as ilea' Register says, he had not yet reached the age of thirty years. It is sufficient to satisfy all but those who will be satisfied with nothing.

Of Oen. Scott's brilliant reputation in the Mexican war, so recently won as to be within the rec ollection of all the people of the present day, it i not necessary to speak for the purpose of defending him against any assault by his enemies, for those assaults will but recoil upon their authors heads. Still, it is well to refresh the minds of the minds vf the people in reference to the manner in which his achievements in Mexico were received at the time of their occurrence by those who now oppose him, but then Iiad no inducement to disparage him, and none to praise hiiu beyond the strict requirements of justice.

Let those who would keep clear of another disaster take warning. Dust ox ItAiLaoAD avoided. In the If. Y. Courier and Enquirer of Wednesday last is an article on the subject of Paine's improved mode of ventilating passenger cars on railroads.

According to tbe statement, the principal editor took passage the other day on the Xew York and New Haven railroad; he found the cars filled with dust, which rose in clouds around tha train, but after the first hour he was invited by Ihe con di cter to take a seat in the rear car, arranged ou the new plan, which from its position would collect the most dust of any. But instead of being tilled like the others, it was entirely free of all dust, and cool and comfortable, although the day was excessively hot and dry. He cimtinued his trip from the New Haven to the Springfield, the dustiest road in the country, and although the dust rose in clouds about the train, not ft particle entered any of the cars ventilated on the new plan. The Courier considers tbe question settled that the now plan will succeed, that all railroads will promptly arrange tbeir cars iu conformity with it. and the result tn follow, almost immediately, will be to render railroads more pleasant modes of travel than steamboats, as well as far more safe and speedy, and that all the river travel will therefore be rapidly transferred to the railroads.

Among other things, the and E. in alluding to the importance of immediately introducing such an improvement on the river road, admits that there is no better managed road in this country or England, and that mine is more safe, which is say ing a great deal for that paper. communication respecting Ihe vindictive conduct of the ex postmaster at Adriance ia re ceived but omitted till next week tor want of room.
