Through Mr.. Buchanan's agency the letter was
sent to the Union Office, and was actually in

dorsing the character of DR.. Tebbs as a gentle
man of unimpeaclable veracity, when it was
seen in proof by Southern member of the

Tug ADVANTAGES OF BuRSING TUE CRYSTAL
PALAcE.-The Boston Journals correspondent
from New York takes sepoy view of the late
destruction of.the Crystal Palace:
"rhe burning of the Crystal Palace, while it
will be an individual loss, will prove a public
benefit. The land on which the building stood
belongs, to the city, and will be opened us a
public square if it be not used or an additional
reservoir, of which there is some talk. While
the Palace mas been public benefit on many
accounts, the whole site around it on D.! sidrs
has been public nuisance. One can hardly
| ind in all New York such a congregated cluster
of abandoned houses, low hotels, gambling sa-
loons houses Of bad rcpute, drinking houses,
horse jockey headquarters as this, making the
whole square reproach and a danger. The
conhagration has begun the purgation of this
quarter. Real estate has already risen, aud inn
/ provements will at once begin, and in a short
time this repulsive portion Of our city will have
attractions that will not be eclipscd by any
part"
