With- out the united gers! co-operation of all the revenue officers there is reason to fear that a large per cent. of the tax im) ay the manufactnre and sale of cigars will fail of reuching the Treasury.” WITHDRAWAL OF THE New Loanx—Secre- tary Boutwell to-day issued the following circn- jar, withdrawing the new loan from the mar- TREASURY DerantMent, ket: Wasurxetox, D.

Thomas Franklin, civil engineer, ed Ti Stax reporter and gave him all the information asked for in reference to the work. Leaving the X made by the two roads, the train ae full headway for the Patuxent, passing a +mall cut and one of near 20 feet, when Rogue Harbor branch—two miles south of the A. & E. R. K—was crossed on a new Howe bridge of 55 feet span, the floor of which was about 20 feet above the bed of the stream. Half a mile south of Rogue Harbor, after going a cut of 29 feet and over an embankment of nearly the same height, we passed over the LITTLE PATUXENT BRIDGE, which is of the same description as that over Rogue Harbor branch. It is a substantial struc- tare, built of heavy timbers, well tied with iron bolts, and is in one span of 189 feet. Here we if Ht found a number of men with horses and carts, under the superintendence of a “gravel boss,” taking from the stream load after load of clean white gravel, with which at least a portion of the road will’ be ballasted, and dropping two cars to be laden with gravel, the train sped on towards the Big Patuxent. After leaving one or two small cuts and fillings behind, ‘THE DEEP CUT, through what is known as the’ Summit, is en- countered. This isthe highost point between the tworivers, Little and Big Patuxent, and the average de; of the cut ip a stretch of 1,500 yards is 23 feet. Leaving this cut, an embank- ment of an average height of 39 feet extends to the abutment of THE BRIDGE OVER THE BIG PATUXENT, and the base of this embankment being in swampy land heavy timber was used to secure a solid 1oundation. we found Mr. Liben- good, superintendent for the Keystone Brid Company, at work with his menon the sow span of the bridge, and foot passengers were passing back and torth on a narrow gang plank. This bridge, although a wooden structure, will be one of the strorg st in thissecti m of the country. It is in two of 150 feet each, and the abui ments and pler are built of granite. The Big Patuxent at this point is only about half as the is but the banks are low and dden treshets. Itwas there- emed advisable not to impede the flow by an embankment too near the borders of the stream. This bridge it was ex; ed to complete on Saturday last, and the workmen were to go to other points on the road to erect other bridges. THE FRUIT TRADE ALREADY COMMENCED. The clvil engineer and his left the train at this point, and started on foot for Hunt- ington, a distance of little over two miles, where ‘the junction of the main road with the Washington branch will be made.
