ox with some kind of reinforcement bar?

i am cutting a hole in a brick wall to put in a through the wall mailbox.
The wall supports a brick pillar holding an iron gate.
The pillar will not be able to support the weight of the gate once disconnected from the support of the wall.
Is there a way to tie the pillar to the wall over the top of the new mailbox with some sort of reinforcement bar?
