ecord of a wooden bridge is that thrown across the Rhine by Julius Cæsar, and described in his commentaries, over which description many a schoolboy has puzzled his brain in futile efforts to comprehend. Timber is undoubtedly the most ancient and most ready material, but less durable. Probably the best specimen of a wooden bridge now existing is that over the Rhine, at the fall of Schaff haveen. The best collection of bridges is across the Thames at London, for Black friars, Westminster, Waterloo, London, and Southwark or Trafalgar, are all splendid examples of different classes. The construction of metal bridges is particularly owing to the skill of British architects. They are found to be durable, safe, and less expensive than others,--the only objection laying in the expansion and contraction of the material by being exposed to different extremes of temperature. Modern skill has, however, overcome this difficulty, and now they are looked upon as the best and most desirable

snapped the ponderous cable. There is really very little news in town beyond what I have already sent you by telegraph. The weather has been so bad that I have been unable to look around the city, or to visit any of the numerous camps in this vicinity. Besides, I have felt so little like writing of late, that my attention has been given only to literary tasks that would not be neglected. That is my excuse to correspondents; but I beg leave to say a word or two here to some of them. S. D.--I will forward your articles immediately; send them along; have written you on the subject. B. C. L.--Many thanks; excuse my tardiness in saying so. L. M. M.--Package received by express; thank you. Several letters have been a long time delayed by being misdirected. If addressed to "Bohemian, box 178, Norfolk," letters will reach me. In approaching the city on the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad, one of the first objects that strikes the eye of a stranger is the fine suspension bridge

our troubles. He no longer looks with pleasure upon the gleaming fire — no longer defles the pelting storm. Old Boreas, you have conquered! but you struck the heart, and not the body! In bearing the hardships of severe storms there is consolation in knowing that our enemy is suffering also, and to a far greater extent. The Burnside expedition, which has been already scattered and seriously injured, is still braving the waves on a perilous coast. Ever since the fleet sailed from Hampton Roads there has been no settled weather, and nearly every day has been stormy. There was a report in Baltimore three days ago that several of the gun-boats and one large steamer had been destroyed, and there is but little doubt that this fierce Northeastern wind will drive many more of them ashore. It began yesterday and has providentially increased up to this time, and, should it continue another day, none but the strongest ships would be able to stand it. If not entirely destroyed, our ene

ed to "Bohemian, box 178, Norfolk," letters will reach me. In approaching the city on the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad, one of the first objects that strikes the eye of a stranger is the fine suspension bridge over the east branch of Elizabeth river, terminating within a few hundred yards of the town. It is a splendid structure, and is so pleasing in appearance and so symetrical in contour, that I venture to give a slight description of it. Commencing at the bottom, then, I will say ths own gravity.--But, enough of this, as I am not writing an essay on bridge-building, but merely putting down a few random thoughts which presented themselves while standing before Frink's patent suspension bridge over the east branch of the Elizabeth river. The news of the defeat at Somerset was received here with a great deal of sadness and hints of mismanagement on the part of general officers were freely bruited about.--As no definite information, beyond that contained in the Yankee ac

The news of the defeat at Somerset was received here with a great deal of sadness and hints of mismanagement on the part of general officers were freely bruited about.--As no definite information, beyond that contained in the Yankee account, had been received, it was generally conceeded the better plan to wait for further intelligence before condemning any one. It seems to be a settled opinion, however, that something was wrong, for no one doubts the bravery of the soldiers engaged. The distance of the locality of the batt

It began yesterday and has providentially increased up to this time, and, should it continue another day, none but the strongest ships would be able to stand it. If not entirely destroyed, our enemy will be decidedly weakened and in bad condition to make an attack upon the coast. This morning the light-boat anchored off Cape Henry, to take the place of the Cape light, which has been extinguished, broke from her moorings, and run ashore on Pleasure House beach. It was discovered by a portion of the Chesapeake Cavalry, who immediately took possession. They captured seven persons, and, among other things, seven muskets, a quantity of provisions, and three hundred gallons of oil. The following is a list of the prisoners, composing the keeper and guard of the boat: Alex. Ruak, Conrad Fritz, Thomas Segernin, Ed. Smith,

The following is a list of the prisoners, composing the keeper and guard of the boat: Alex. Ruak, Conrad Fritz, Thomas Segernin, Ed. Smith, Job Thompson, Charles Wise, Richard Miller. They are now lodged in jail here, having come into town in a decided state of inebriation. These light-boats are always moored very strongly, and we can therefore imagine how severe this storm deracy it may occur. I find a great deal of anxiety in Norfolk regarding the army of the Potomac, and everyone is lamenting the absence of any reliable news from that line. There is a universal expression of confiddence in General Beauregard, and Generals Smith, Longstreet, Stuart, and others, every one feeling satisfied that if not bound down by the doubtful plans of higher authorities, they will lead our daring soldiers to a glorious victory before many more weeks roll away.
