Bridge at Cincinnati The Suspension Bridge at Cincinnati h approaching completion. It Ik one- thousand four hundred feet long, and Las an elevation above the river of one. hundred feet spanning the Ohio, and connecting Cincinnati and Covington in Kentu:ky. Tho structure is estimated to cost, when completed, Sl, 750,000. Brazil. Our Government has received reliable information that tho Imperial Governnent ot Brazil is resolved to open the coaatwiso trade to ships of all nations. This concession Las boon obtained by tho Liboral party alter a long struggle, and it is believed to be an earnest of future and still mere important changes iu tho commercial policy of the country. The opening of the Amazon cannot bi much longer delayed. Money. Mcu work for it, fight for it, pteal for it, starve for it, and dio for it. And ali the while, liom the cradle to the grave, nature and God thundering in our caife, tho solemn question : "What shall it profit a man if he ain the wholo world and loso his own soul ?" Thi madness for money is the strengest and lowest of ail the p-xtsious ; it is tho insatiate Molcch of the human heart, before whose rcmcr.ieloss altar the attributes of humanity arc sacrificed. It makes merchandise of all that is sacred in human affections j and even trafScs in the awful solemnities of the eternal. A TTorcl for Utile Irls. Who is lovely ? It is tho little girl who drops wordi, kind remarks, and pleasant smiles, as she passes along j who has a kind .word of sympathy for overy girl or bey she meets in trouble, and a kind hand -to her companions out of diffcultyj who never ecoMj, never contends, never teases her mother, nor seeks in any way to diminish, but always to increase her happiness. Would it not ploasa you to pick up a atring of pearls, drops of gold, diamonds, or precious stones, which can ncvr be lost? Take the hand of tho friendless. Smile on tho sad and dejected. Sympathize with those in trouble. Strive every where to diffuse around you sunshine and joy. If you do this you will be sure to bo beloved. Linoleum. A substance is now manufacturing from flaxseed called linoleum. It is said that it supercedes Iudian rubber which it very much resemble.", and which it possesses most of the properties in the various manufactures in which it is used. Like India rubber, it can be dissolved into a cement aud used in the manufacture of waterproof clothing. It can be used for the coating of iron or wood or lor coating ship bot toms. It is as good as common cement, having properties similar to tho marine glue made from India rubber and shellac. It ia readily vulcauized by exposure to heat, aud by this means becomes as hard as the hardest wood, and capable of fine polish. The variety of the uses to which it can be applied in this form will at once suggest themselves to the reader. Hitherto it lias ben made solely to produco floor cloth, for which it is well adapted. Complimentary. Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts, tho radical leader of the Senate, said in his place the other day, that tho mechanics of tho country had contributed falmost as much to the salvation of the Union as the freedmen tho negroes. That is complimentary to the thousands of mechanics who left their workshops aud went into the scrvico of thir country. Said the radical Sumrcr : "But there is etill another class, for whom no one has yet ipokcu on this floor who liavo contributed to your success not less thau the soldier or the creditor; 1 icas almott about to say not less than the freedmen ! I mean tho mechanics of the country. How arc you mechanics ? You who are of the republican persuasion, and who fought through tho war, do you think you did almost i much for the tvprtsitioix of the rebellion as tho, negroes ? Almot !

A i:n sli sit VJcwofUic Rump Congress. Washingt on Cor. of the London Times. They, (the Radicals) hr.ve every thing their own wa- at present, and the result is that Cougrers is under the sway of a tyranny which is unprecedented in the history of civilized government. Tiiers is much talk every whero of thi3 beleg the pountry where greater freedom and liberty ere found than in any part of the world; aut the history of this session helps to brove that thcro is no country wuere majorities rule so despotically, or vvhero the people submit to them no patiently, an America. Freedom of debate is practically impossible there. Take what happened la.3t Monday in the House of Representatives as an example, and even Mr. Bright would probably find it hard to defend or gloss over such an example. A member of the Radical party, Mr. WiboM, moved that tho Civil Rights Bill pass, and by previous arrangement with hh leaders he demanded the "previous question" upon that motion. It was consequently not in order for any member to speak upon the resolution beforo the IIcu.v. Now, there wcro several members, belonging to the three different parties ia the House, who were anxious to say a few words upon the bill, or in explanation of the votes whiüh they intended to iyc. Some of these were, like Mr. Wihxn himself. Radicals. They went privately to

him I am repeating these fret?, from their own lips, so that there can bo no mistake about them and becrkod him to wairo hi; demand for "the previous question," 0 that they might be allowed to speak lor a few minutes. He held his position on the floor, and refused. The noise aud excitement increased, and member surrcrmded Mr. Wilson, beseeching him not toforoo so important a bill to vote, under what h called the ,:gag2ng lav,'" that is, the dc mand for tho previous question. A Judge of the State of New York was one of those who thus remonstrated with him, but Thaddeus Stevens was there to pre von t Mr. Wilson giving way, and he proved immovable. Some members urged that, out of respect to the President's veto, they ought to be allowed time for discussion, but Mr. Wilson dimply shook his head. At last there was a general cry, ,'Give an hour," but this request and surely it was not an rcsonablo one was peremptorily refused like all the rest. Thus debate was more effectually stifled than has ever been seen in the French Legislature, and certainly such a stretch of tyranny was never exercised beforo iu an assembly of men boasting to be free. thing was possiblo in the House of Ccm mons. Here was a bill which had been declared by the Executive to be uuconsti tutional in its character, and dangerous to tho peace of the country iu its provisions, and no one man in the House elected by tho people was suffered to say a single word upon it. " What would Mr. Rright say of our freedom if ho saw this V said cue member to mo. I think that at least half the House were thoroughly ashamed of what they were doing for, of course, a majority had sustained the demand for the previous question. Rut Thad. Stevens bad smacked his whip, and his obedient followora gathered round him, willing and subservient. Let the bill be wise or un wise, just or unjust, the way iu which it was hurriod through the House would be a scandal to any assembly of freemen. In less than ten minuteä the bill had been brought forward and the vote upon it taken. This is but one iustancc, and compared with what I could give you, a slight in stance of the despotism which tho Radical majority in Congress is exercising, lhcy have filled every ouice in and about the Capitol, and their wonderful machinery of committees (unknown in Lngland) has tho whole business ot the country in its grip Foreign relations, domestic affairs, finan cial policy everything is placed in the hands of tho committees, and a majority in every committeo consists of Radicals, ap pointed by the Itadical bpeaker ot the Houic, or the equally Radical President of the Senate. It would be well it Mr Rright and others, who wish to 'Am?ricanizc" English institutions, could see this one in full working. Sunt a system for concentrating the power Cunyrcss tn the hands of a few men, and jor dis.irmtwj independent members of the sUjhic.t authority ami inßucncCy teas never seen in a deliberate (tsscmldy before. The way in which it is worked is this : Let the Reconstruc tion Committee of Fifteen, be takeu as an instance. Tn tho first place, no step can bo taken iu Congress, as a body, toward reconstruction, until it has been first submitted to this committee. It manages, controls, and directs all proceedings, from the .smallest to the most importaut, in relation to this subject., Say that au independent member brings forward a resolution for the admission cf Tennessee into Congress. A Radical member would immediately get up and propose that it bo referred to tho Reconstruction Committee; the motion would bo carried, and the resolution would go to tho committee, never to make its appearance again. The committee would simply "burke it.'' This is no hypothetical case the thing hag been done over and over again this session. I have watched the process in scores of instances sinco last December. Nothiug returns from these committees which the Radicals disapprove. Consequently any mau who throws himself against the Radical party destroys his influence and' position. He stands alone, as Mr. Raymond docs in the House at this moment. Then the committee meets together in secret, und agrcei upon a certain resolution. It is laid before the House or Senate; a Radieal majority is there strong enough to carry almost au v thing ; the previous question is demanded, that uo debate shall tak place, and the public outside bo kept in ignorance even of the bare fact that there war member

who wished to speak against the propose

tion, r.nu a nandful of men impose laws upon a country. Can the President of tho j United States be mistaken in relieving) that the pecple will rise against this dicta-1 lorship bofor-3 long ; that they would over-1 throw it now it they but properly under stand it ?

There is a story of antiquity with which everybody is familiar, but the moral of which is heeded by very few. The story is of Milo, a Etrong man, who by muscular power rended au oak; but forgetful of the natural rebound, his hands caught, and he was made helplessly fast in the cleft of the sundered tree. Reaction is a principle which impel consideration. The fever succeeds the chill. The excitement which engenders spa.modic force is followed by lassitudo and weakness. This is not only a physical, but a moral truth likewise. Ihe rabble who cheered tho regicides who led Charles I. to the block, a few years subsequently hailed the return of Charles II. to the throne of his father with the most extravagant demonstrations of joy. The viuivercal tru'li fln expression in tho axiom : ''one cxtremo follows another." The reaction has begun. Connecticut, a State Republican by thousands hereto fore, is now barely carried by 500 majority. Indiana, which under the brutr.l des potism of that unsurpassed scoundrel, Morton, gave a large Republican majority. u now unquestionably Democratic. And all over the country, in township and corporation elections, wc havy evidenco that the reaction has begun. Let thoso who have hitherto carried elections by usurpation, and maintained their positions by unparalleled crime, be ware of the day to come ! Tho mobs, the proscriptions, tho banishments, th& iirqn'is onments, the murders, must be atoned for. : Extremes begets extremes. If those who have hitherto had tho power havsi abused it; if they have inflicted wrong and out rage on tho minority ; if, becauso they havo used it ruthlessly, oppressively, and remorselessly, let them look out for reaction which is borinine. Marion Democrat. Wool In the United States. The quantity of wool produced in the United Statos is increasing annually, but has not yet equaled tho demand for home consumption. In ISG0, according to the census returns, G0,2G4,913 pounds were produced, all of which was consumed in our manufactures. The amount imported from foreign countries in samo year, was 32,371,719 pounds, making tho total amount cousumed 82,G3G,G32 pounds. Tho product of 1SGI has been cstiuatod at 80,000,000 pounds. The amount imported was 72,371,503 pounds. The vast increase in home production and foreign importation was required, principally for supplying the army and uavv with blankets. It is said that in one year our woolen factories aud scwiug machines turned out no less than 35,17LG0S garments. The quantity of wool con sumed for army use during three years has been estimated as follows : 18G2 51 ,400,000 lbs. Gl, 500,000 lbs. 1804 61,o09,000 lbs. To this must be added the consumption for the navy, and for cartridges, and the total cannot vary much from 200,000,000 pounds. In 1S12, when the United States was at war with England, the home product of wool was so email that the Secretary of Avar was compelled to ask Congress lor permission to import 5,000 blnhkets for the supply of the Indians. The army and navy being now nearly on a peace footing, a great falling off must necessarily arise in the quality ol woolens required for their use, and the home product of wool being increasing annually, it is probable that very little willbi required from foreign countnci in futuie.

I The nylns Hours ot dcis. Scott.

I West Point Correspondrnce of the New York ncraw. Lieut. Gen. Wiutield Scott died at this house to-day, at five minutes pa.st 11 o clock. He departed peacefully.. No struggle- indicated the pKsac et tue old hero s soul from its earthly tenement. Al though his demise wa3 anticipated, yet his death was comparatively sudden. Upon his arrival here ou tho evening of the 10th inst., by special boat from NewVork.it was ofcservcd that he was very feeble. Upon descending from tbc carriage ho tottered a little, aud had to pause npou every etep as he mounted to the hotel. After a few days, however, he rallied considerably and as late as Saturday, at half-past 2 o'clock, wa out to the library and the village riding. The same day he wrote soma letters to friends; but, a fsw days before, he requested Gen. Galium, commandant of the post, to indite a letter for him, which he franked himeclf, thouch iu an almost illegiblo hand. He appeared to suffer from no specific ailment, but rather a gCDeral decline of physical strength. HU mind wa clear to the lat. So little -expectation was there of lih immediate demise that his daughter, Mrs. Hoyt, of New York, who lud been staying with him for ?oaio day.-, left here for Lome yesterday. Last night the general wa taken with :; chill, aud the assistant surgeon of the po.-t, Dr. Marsh, was i immediately summoned. Kven then there I appeared to be no apprehension of immeiiate dissolution ; but in a short timo it became evident that the eventful and useful life of the patriot soldier was drawing to a cloe. The Chaplain. Rev. J. A. French, was called in and taking the general' hand recited a prayer. Though quite conscious and coguizaut that death was upon him the power of speech was gone, but the dying f-oldier pressed the hand of the clergyman and bowed his head repeatedly in token of his consciousness of the last sol cmn rites which Mr. French was perform-, ing according to tho rules of the Enisconal church. At precisely five minutes after 1 . quietly as if iu a slumber, the patriot whose lifo has been so intimately associated with the military history of. his country passed away. There were present with him at the last moment Gen. G. W. Galium, commandant of West Point, and for many years aid to Geu. Scott; Surgecn Head, Asst. Surgeon Marsh, Chaplain French, and the general' faithful body sorvtnt. Gen. Galium im. mediately telegraphed to Mrs. Hoyt, who rrrivßj here r.t 5 o'clock this afternoon. At the desire of tho deceased general's daughter, Mr3. Hoyt and it h; thought the old hero himself had the same wish the remains will be interred iu the West Point cemetery. Gen. Scott had only been confined to bed for the last three days, but during that timo his strength was gradually failing and he aeemed to have a presentiment that this was his last visit to Wet Point, ia which institution he took nn iuUnse interest and at which he spent every suuiuci for the last 40 years. When coming from the boat on the 10th of May ha remarked to a friend that he had come to the old acadcrny to die, and, in conversation with Capt. Stanton, a few days ago, he replied to some remark concerning his visit to West Point that he came there to ha buried. It seems appropriate that the great military academy of tho nation should be the dying place of tho uatku's oldest soldier. THE LAST MORDS Ol' GEN. SCOTT arc worth remembering. About 25 minutes before his death he addressed hia hostler, saying: "James, how is tbe horse?" " He is well, general." "Tako care of him, Jamer," said the dying hero, and these were the last iatolügiblo words he uttered. In less than half an hour, all was over, aud Gcucral Scutt had become immortal. TIio ISctirciuent or Dana. Some days since, we noticed the trouble in th conduct of the Chicago Republican, and the anticipated fall cf Dana from tho tripod. Fcr a few days past it has been noticed that the. names cf 4,C. A. Iana, editor-in-chief," and "A. W. Mack, publisher," have been omitted from the editor rial heal oT the Republican, without a word of explanation. This may be considered the political death of Dana. Ho has limited his brief career on the political hinge au J passed off uuhouorcd and unsung, without even a passing notice from Iiis oll associates. A man with some ability as a writer but, as a journalist and politician, destitute of truth aud reckless of honor, he was ev. er the willing instrument to do tho dirty work of his political fricads. His failure as a journalist may be attributed moro to thc?e causes thau a want of literary ability. No one mourns. Tho press is relieved of a blot. Were the scurviest thief in Nrw York to appear at any one of the religious meetings row going on in some of the churches in this city, and there declare his repon tanco, and avow his conversion to a better lile and his desire to unite in a fellowship of thoe who profess to pursue it; aud wcro his acts to boar out his words, ho would bo received, rejoiced over, baptized and admitted. The next day, after applying to erring men this test ia morals aud religion, ui&uj of these tame persons would read the Scr mou on tho Mount at famiby prayers, fnd then go and dcelaro their approbation cf a Congress which treats worse than the scur viest thiuves (fouthern fellow-citizens, who have erred in a matter cf political gov eminent, who declare it, who desire to v new their old political fellowship aud their allegiance to tho Union and ita law.
