s9-It is stated that the Rebel leaders
destroyed from Eight to Ten Millions of
Dollars worth Of property, principally IN
steamboats, and cotton, at New Orleans, to
keep it from the Union protection. This
wanton destruction Of private property is
no military necessity. Very little Of it
was sacrificed by the real owners-prOba.
bly, none by the producers-of the proper.
ty. |, was burned by usurping villains,
to prejudice uujustly the sufferers against

property is in San Francisco.
SINCE this war commenced, we have heard
much, every now and then, about "ihe weak
ness of the South" the rebellion on its las,
legs, ,""we shall soOn starye them out" and
so on 10 the end Of the chapter; and some pso-
pie and editors are silly enough 10 repeat these
things to-day.
We can see no evidence OF weakness, nor OF
the starving-ont process. We wonder when II

that the country may confidently look for early

1T WAS CURRENTLY REPORTED on the streets
and In the hotels yesterday, that Senator Sauls-
bury, OF Delaware, was arrested night before
last, for reasonable uttersnces. 1t is said that
the honorable Senator made use of much indis-
Greet languages but IL arrested, he must have
been released, as he was In his seat yesterday.
If the Senator is loyal, as his friends claim, he
certainly has a queer way of showing It.
/ Whether he were really arrested or not, we can.
not say. We only give 1t as rumor which
was rife for several hours on Tuesday evening
and Wednesday.
We WOULD CALL ESPECIAL ATTENTION to the
statement Of aIr. Dennis, furnished to our re.
porter, which will be found In another column, OF
the movement Of our troops at Fredericksburg.
Gen. Burnside has shown great soldierly quail

Tue PosT OFFICE BUILDrso.-several of our
correspondents have called attention to the
shocking condition Of the approaches to the
city post Office, growing out OF the excavations
around the north and east fronts of the Post
06ice building, and which have been most un-
necessarily protracted for months. Another
and most serious obstruction in approaching
the city post Office results from the use made
Of the Post Office building as. place of deposit
for commlssary stores. Barrels and boxes are
piled up constantly on the north and west
fronts, and the operation Of passing them In
| and out is constantly going on. Such q build
ing ought not 10 be used for such purpose,
except under the pressure of u temporary ne
cessity, and all the room In the building Is need.
ed for other uses.
A Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald says;
| "Since the restrictions that have been put
upon suffers In Gen. Durnside's army, the
send on articles Of clothing through the malls,
A couple of carloads day of such packages
reach the post Office, and as a consequence the
previous crowded condition of the office Is made
still worse. The business of the Office should
he divided, and the ample rooms In the General
| Post Office building that are now used for com
missaries' stores should be devoted 10 the postal
uses Of the army"
