FRENCH BOMBAST.

Tho Tribune's Matamoras correspondent
says the French are very touchy concerning
war with the United States. and brag great
ly. They say, IN case of war with Mexico,
50 lchg as it was under French support, fifty
thousand men could be thrown on the line Of
the Rio Grande at once, which we could not
hope to fight with success, even with two men
to ono also they said force of twenty-siy
thousand French could be marched into the
Interior of the United States.
Alas how forgctful We aro of scenes en-.
acted but few years since, and how prone
to disregard The wholesome lessons taught us.
Has the Frenchman lost all recollection of
Waterloo and its results, Ard has his vain
desire to shuw spunk on the American cues
ton so completely blinded him that he looks
not upon what has been am what may be
We think that such must be tn, case, or the
itlea Of twenty-six thousand French" march
ing into the interior of onr country, would
never have ofi ginated in the brain of sane
Frcnchinah.. England has wholesome re-
gard for onr arms, and We shonld think that
France, with the marks of England's blows
still upon her back would have also.

Two REBEL LErTERs--We publish this morn

in regard TO the distress Of Belle Boyd. The
writers Of these letters have no claim whatever
upon our space and courtesy; but we print
their communications because we do not wish
10 seem UNFAIR even to rebels General Winder
may have been all that his brothers, fancy
paints him; but our prisoners have word to
say upon that point, and we prefer TO take their
testimony. He may have been free from small
personal vices; but he was q traitor and .
cruel, tyranncal jailor. As for Belle Boyd, we
are glad to hear that she Is SO soon 70 be re-
lievcd from her distress in pecuniary point Of
view. We think that her husband, Mr. Har-
dinge--who left our navy to marry the fair
rebel and serve Jcff. Davis-escaped very
cbeaply with few months imprisonment He
ought TO have been punished much more so
verely.

Our Colleges from . Pious Point OF
The Independent Is very peculiar paper. II
mingles piety with prices current and patent
medicines. II informs Its readers Of the state
Of tho Church and the stock markets. It treats
both Of religious and petroleum speculations.
II warns against sin and advertises the reme-
dies for those nameless diseases which are the
general results Of sin. The candidates for
Heaven and the candidates Of the republican
party receive equal attention in its columns. 1t
carries its politics into Its religion, although
we have seen no evidences Of its religion in its
politics. It teaches how to lay up treasures on
earth, and once in o while hints that treasures
above are q pretty good permanent invest
ment. 1t worships an i.ol called the negro,
and another idol called mammon; but it keeps
up connection with the Congregational
Church, because such connection is found to
pay very well. It's loyalty, like its religion, is
of the shoddy stripe, and its editors and pro-
pretors are not averse to fat offices either in
the Church or under the present administra-
ton. From this curious paper we copy the
