NEW YORK, MAY 23.

President Lincoln has changed Vallandigham's
sentence of imprisonment in Fort Warren to trans-
portatio❑ 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."

Vallandigbam'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

The New York Tribune call upon President
Lincoln to issue a retaliation proclamation to pro-
tect coloured troops.
The Confederate Colonel Parker, commanding in
Jackson county, Missouri, has 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-
rectly 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

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
in 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 dnty
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 discussion would
be an insulting farce.
A democratic State mass meeting has been held
at Indianapolis amid considerable excitement.
Speeches were made denouncing liallandigham'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 500 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
Rasesll. Arrests in Washington are becoming
more numerous.

General Butler is in Washington, and it is sup-
posed that he will immediately receive a command,
