The telegraph advises us of the almost
complete destruction of the North Missouri
Railroad for a distance of near one hundred
miles. The villains commenced their work
ofdestruchon eight miles south of Hudson,
the junction of the North Missouri with the
Hannibal and St. Joseph Road, and have
rendered useless the road south to Warrenton,
a distance OF one hundred miles. They have
burned the bridges, burned the wood, and
water. tanks and ties, and torn up the track,
and destroyed the telegraph line for the dis
tsnce named Who or how many were en-
gagged in this work is not known, but it is
plain that the whole thing was preconcerted,
and that very large number of men were
concerned in it. They must have been men,
too, living somewhere near the line, as well
as rebels from Prices army, sent there for
this purpose, and all of them ought to be
made to suffer for this villany. General
Halleck will, of course, give prompt atten-
ton to the plan of the rebels, designed, Of
course, to prevent him from transporting
troops along the road by which to preserve
the peace of that section of the State.
