NEW YORK, MAY 23.

President Lincoln has changed Vallandigham's
sentence of imprisonment in Fort 'Warren to trans-
portation beyond the Federal lines.
The New York Evening Post says :—" The ad-
ministration is legally bound by congressional
enactment to hand Vallandigham over to the civil
tribunals ; and, as it cannot be supposed that the
administration desires to escape the demands of the
law, the Post expects that Vallandigham will be
handed over to the civil authorities."

Vallandigham's arrest still causes the greatest
excitement throughout the Union.
Various reports are current that President Jeffer-
son Davis is preparing to invade Maryland and
Pennsylvania early in the summer, and that for
this purpose troops are being withdrawn from the
sea coast to reinforce General Lee. The Pennsyl-
vanian authorities are urged to organise militia to
be prepared for such contingency,
Ten Federal regiments are reported to have ad-
vanced on Cumberland to invade East Tennessee.
The Southern papers think the mountains will Drove
an insuperable barrier to their advance.

At Suffolk two Federal regiments fired upon
each other by mistake, killing and wounding a
large number. Two companies of Federal mounted
rifles were surprised and badly cut up by the Con-
federates.

The New Fork Tribune call upon President
Lincoln to issue a retaliation proclamation to pro-
tect coloured troops.
The Confederate Colonel Parker, commanding in
Jackson county, Missouri, hes informed General
Blunt that if another Confederate citizen was exe-
cuted without process of law, he should execute five
Federals. General Blunt replied that all rebels or
their sympathisers, including females aiding di-
rect ly or indirectly, the rebels in the counties
bordering Missouri, would be destroyed or expelled
his district. All persons found in arms in the
Kansas district would be summarily executed where
captured.

The _Richmond Sentinel says it is reported that
two Federal officers had been detained with the
view of retaliation for General Burnside hanging
two Confederate officers.

The Confederates have captured the dispatch
boats Emma and Arrow, used to carry despatches
from Newbern to the North, by way of Albermarle
and Chesapeake canal. This capture cuts off the
Northern internal communication with Newbern.
The Southern
journals contain a rumour that
Admiral Farragut has burned his flagship the Hart-
ford.

Thomas Francis Meagher's resignation has been
accepted. Only half a regiment remains of the
whole Irish brigade.
The New York Municipality has proposed to.
raise a million dollars to pay the exemption fees of
drafted working men.
The steamer Eugenie has been captured off
Mobile with arms from Havanna. The British
schooner Linnet has been captured.

NEW YORK, MAY 23.
The political condition of affairs wears a threaten-
ing aspect, owing to repressive measures of Federal
military appointees. The exasperation of the peo-
ple throughout the Western States, and denuncia-
tions of administrative measures by the democracy
io large Northern cities, are becoming louder. It
is freely asserted that the Administration purposes
to make the profession of political opinions the test
of loyalty.

The New York World says :—" If free speech
and free elections can be guaranteed, it is our duty
to await the next Presidential election for the resto-
ration of violated liberties. But if political action
is to be made a penal offence, there is danger that
the aroused indignation of the people will not await
the election, which without free diecussion would
be an insulting farce.
A democratic State mass meeting has been held
at Indianapolis
amid considerable excitement.
Speeches were made denouncing Vallandigham's
arrest, and the war measures of the Administration.
A military guard was kept patrolling the city in
the vicinity where the meeting was held. Forty
or fifty arrests were made for carrying concealed
weapons and shouting for Jefferson Davis. The
excursionists in several trains which left Indiana-
polis at night fired upon the soldiers. The home
military authorities stopped the trains, made nu-
merous arrests, and took 600 revolvers from the
passengers.

The newspapers in all the Western cities are now
under military
supervision, and in Indiana free
press discussion is entirely suppressed by General
Rascal'. Arrests in Washington are becoming

more numerous.
General Butler is in Washington, and it is sup-
posed that he Will immediately receive a command.
The City of New York takes out 158,500 dols.,
and £3,386 in specie.
