DESTRUCTION OF WAR.-A correspon-
dent of Western paper, who has lately
visited New Madrid, says, that the town
presents very sad spectacle. Whole
blocks of houses have been destroyed by
the rebels in order to obtain clear sweep,
for their guns and even this wholesale
destruction of property does not appear so
badly as the buildings which are partially
destroyed, bored through and through
with shot and torn with shell, leaving
just enough of them to show what they
once had been. There are none of Its
inhabitants left-not one-and many
years will elapse before the town will be
what It once was.

R-When Fort Sumter surrendered,
the following lines appeared in some of
the Southern papers:
'.With mortar Paixhan, and petard,
We tender Old Abe our Beau-regard."
Things have changed somewhat, and
the Rebels, catching it in front and rear,
causing them to flee from the wrath to
come, our Western friends now return
the Rebels poetic courtesies in this wise:
.sWith the rebels all routed and flying. with
fear,
We tender jeff Davis our Foote in his rear"
nea- We depend upon our Foote, but
the rebels depend upon their feet.

Senator Br1ghtss Treasonable Letter.
The letter Of Hon. Jesse D. Bright, upon
which tue question tor lis expulsion from the
United States Senate has been raised, is as
follows:
WASHINGTON, March !, 1861.

Mr.. Bright has acknowledged this letter to
be genuine, and has even gone 80 far IS to de-
fc1d it, sid to say that uudcr similar eireum-
STANCES he should do so again. He has, how
ever, been 1,rudcnt1y circurnsreet in his walk
and conversation before the Senate. He has
7oted for all xar measures. He has not in
truded limself-ikc Yallandighan- 4
"peace makcr." But these things aside, it
is plain from the record that he has, as an in
diyidual Senator Of thc.E Enited States, acknow-
lodged the Independence Of the rcbe1lious
States, By recognizing 2s such q His Excel
'slcncy, the President Of the Confederation Of
s'States.'' The body Of the letter is
Of no consequence. 1t would have been
the same If he bad introduced to
the notice Of JEFF. Davis fayoritc negro
servant But in SO far as be anticipated what
might o. m1sltnot no. be in tho future, in
giving his own recognition TO the Montgom
crv caba1, he was guilty Of treason against ths
Government Of which 1c was sworn member
and should be held accountable therefor.

Last week, Mr.. Haupt, the contractor, ad-
dressed public meeting at Greenfield, and
contended that the project was no longer an
experiment Although little had been accom-
plished, enough had been done to form data
rs TO the completion Of the work. Thus far,
onc-half Of a mile had been bored into the
cast side Of the mountain, and six hundred
feet at the west. At the rate Of progress
which might be expected with the present ap-

as well as politically. The proportion Of the
whole population in al Canada, Of French ori-
gin, is, notwithstanding the influx Of people
fron:othcr nations, even now nearly one-half,
or almost cqnal numerically to the portion Of
population descended from all other nationali-
tics: proportion which will probably sur
prise most readers. In this estimate, how

That is not natiyc-born in Canada, aside from
the large portion Of native population de-
seendcd from Irish ancestry. Tie present
