the channel between Dover and Cape Gri
nez. In order to iifford a passage to vessels
of the largest size, the bridge would rest on
one side on the cliffs of Dover, und on the
other sielc on the cliffs of Cape Uriuez, the
French abutments being raised one linn-
ono hundred and fifty feet higher than the
English, to compensate for the difference
of elevation of the cliffs. The bridge
will be supported by one hundred and
ninety towers, nt a distance or Cvo him
eireel K-et opart, each Laving a light to
guide vessels ut night, and an alarm bell
for warning in fogs. The greatest depth
of the channel, on the line proposed, is one
hundred and eighty-six feet. The bridge
would have two or more railways, which it
is estimated could be traversed in twenty
minutes; nnd it would be so built ns to uil-
mit the light or day, being lighted nt night
by gas. In order to pre vent all fear of in
vasion, the projector proposes that each
end or the bridge shall be commanded by a
strong battery. The towers, which would
be one hundred feet in diameter nnd two
hundi-jd and sixty feet high, would rest on
colossal basis three hundred feet square at
the bottom and one hundred and fifty
feet square at the top, rising to a bight of
forty feet above the water, Tormed or blocks
or granite united by iron burs. The eleva
tion or tho tops or the towers would thus be
three hundred feet above the surface of tin

possible cost of the bridge nt 50,000,000,
but thinks that it could be built for half that
sum, and that the whole cost would be re
imbursed to the company in eight years.

nel of Oct. 22, Mr. U. II. Abbott, ami the
purty who accompanied him, returned from
the Klamath Luke Expedition. They were
were gone twenty days. Mr. A blmlt failed
lo apprehend tho Indium who engaged in
the massacre of Ledfonl mid Ids party lust
spring, or to get any n liable information us
to their whereabouts. That llu-y were se
creted by in mbcrs of their tribo he is well
satisfied, but the siiiiilluo of his force, and
the difficulties which would have to be en
countered in pursuing und capturing them,
prevented him from making tho effort.
Tho IudiuiM were peuccubty disposed while
the party was among them, although they
evinced considerable dissatisfaction at not
being furnished witli goods anil presents;
but they were nmdc to understand that un
til they delivered the murderers of the Led
Tord party over to the proper authorities,
no such articles would be dispensed to the
tribe.
Mr. Abbott made careful inquiry Into the
correctness or the report brought to town
just before he left, of the massacre or u
party of emigrants by the Modoc Indians.
The statements wrre conllicting some de
claring that there was a innssaere, others as
stoutly protesting tho rumor was without
foundation. Among others, Mr. A. met
the chief of the Moilocs, who assured him
that it was the Pitt River Indians which
hud committed the massacre upon the emi
grants nbout the timo specified, nnd that
the Moilocs had nothing to do with it, nor
were tliev within several miles of the scene.
A broad, extensive valley, of surpassing
fertility, ond thickly grown wilh luxuriant
bunch grass, was discovered to the north or
tho lake, beyond the diviele which separutcs
the emigrant trail, some twenty miles. It
is described to be largir than the Iioguo
Kiver Valley, nnd admirably adapted to
the grazing or numerous herds. J'.y aban
doning the old trail, nnd striking over the
northern slope or the great Ibitte, the pnr-
ty obtained a full vie w of this delightful
valley. They found a superabundance of
