EE- The Richmond Dispatch, of the 27th, has the subjoined paragraph in reIa- tion to the reported battle at Hampton, on the 25th:
 TELEo 4PHIc DIsPATcHEs.-No one can regret more than ourselves the error into which our Norfolk tclegraphic correspond ent was led, and in turn led this paper, as well as others in Petersburg, in the account of battle near Hampton. The dispatch was sent by reliable gentleman, and we have every reason to know that he is inca pablo of wifully deceiving the public, but must have been imposed upon himself.- At the same time, its but just to ourselves to add that we simply expressed a hope that the reported victory might prove true, and that we shall hereafter be exceedingly cautious of what we publish by tclesra ph.

"DOuglas and Y~aIlandiEham = The In
cendiary Circular.


On account of the excitement which the
Vallandigham Circular is producing in Ken
lucky, we have determined to reprint it in the
Press, for the benefit Of our readers. 1t will
be found in another column. A gentleman
of our acquaintance who has been spending
several days travelling in Kentucky says that
he found it everywhere. The quantity
printed and distributed must have been
m At whose expense, or by whose
agency the printing and distribution was
done, we are not informed. That the thing
was prepared by the author, mainly for the
purpose to which it has been put, is from all
the circumstances highly probable. The dis
tribution is still going on with vigor; and
the document is received by the disunionists
with unalloyed satisfaction.
The Union men of Kentucky complain
bitterly of this proceeding, and of the dan
ger to which it is exposing them and their
cause. They see that its object and tendency
is TO precipitate their State into Secession
at a time when to do so will involve them in
the war, and make their homesteads the
theater of hostilities between the South and
the Government. They, therefore, inquire
and with appearance of reason-why it is
that Ohio, SO large a majority of whose peo-
pie are loyal to the Government, permits
this thing to be done: why, if we are as much
interested as we profess to be, in keeping
Kentucky quiet, men are allowed to go at
large who, not content with practicing their
incendiary tricks at home, invade, with their
p~estilent documents, a neighboring State,
and endeavor to stir up a civil war among its
citizens.
We print the circular that our readers may
see that our structures are just. We wish
them to read it carefully, and make up their
minds as to the merits of the individual who
sent it forth. His position is easily to be
understood. He has only copied, Endorsed
and put in circulation, parts of a speech Of
an eminent politician just deceased. Will 8
people now, by a figure of speech, in tear
over the newly-made grave of the author
condemn and stultify themselves by punish.

Senator of the United States2 The living
fox-we ask pardon of all the foxes in the
world for the representatives himself safe
under the skin of the dead lion. He is more
than safe; he can laugh at the discontinue
of those who find themselves estopped by the
affection they retain for the memory of the
author, from saying what they can not but
think of the sentiments he uttered, or of the
individual who has raked them from the
ashes of the past to use them for so unworthy
a purpose.

There is no calamity which mankind ape
penr to contemplate with less complaceney
in their own case, and with more in that of
others, than hunger-starvation. 1t does
not take many days of restitution to starve
a man, woman, or child to death; aud yet
many of those who have a plenty of things
70 eat think it quite unreasonable hat such
as have none can not wait thirty, sixty, or
ninety days, or six months, until times get
better, when they will earn wages, and make
mp for the meals they have lost.
It i5 a pity, perhaps, that the human ami
NAL, when it laid aside the sharp nose,
wicke1 claws, and shaggy coat which it wore
in Che bear stage, lost its capacity for hiberu-
alton. Poor folks, on the advent of hard
times, when the wherewithal to pay Ant or
buy marketing can not be had-wheu they
have sold their last piece of furniture, and
left their Sunday clothes at the benevolent
institution where money is 'loaned on de-
posits," TO retire to a hollow tree and suck
their fingers until the winter of their dscon-
tent is over. This, however, can not be done,
and until the bear stage returns, or the art
of living without food is brought TO a higher
degree of perfection than it has yet attained,
the sons and daughters of men will find
themselves obliged to contemplate the dis
agreeable altenative-to eat or die.

Secession In 1857 in RmbryO.

A well-known Democrat of Boston COM
municates to the Journal the following sim
gular and curious facts:
He was at Washington for some time
previous to the 4th of March of 1857, having
a deep interest in the tariff bill then before
Congress. His main efforts were directed to
ascertain the views and secure the influence
Of the Southern members, among whom
there happened to be an old and intimate
personal friend, through whom he was in
vited to their social meetings, and ascer-
tanned the views and plans of the leaders
from the South, among whom were Letcher,
Clingman, Keitt, Rusk, Preston s. Brooks,
and Others. Browns Hotel was the head
quarters of the Southern delegation, and they
frequently met at Letchers rooms, to discuss
matters, smoke, drink whisky, and curse the
Yankees and the tariff. 1t was just after
Brooks's attack on Senator Sumner, and the
former was furious againstthe North. 1t was
whispered that Rusk, Keitt and Brooks had
/ matured plans for a Southern Republic, but
that General Sam. Houston had thwarted
them and threatened to have them hung fol
treason. General Houston was then at the
National Hotel. AT this time Brooks died
at Browns very suddenly, and there were
rumors that he had poisoned himself.
Immediately afterward the horrible and
un~accountaole poisoning a1ar AZ the Ma
tional Hotel developed itself, by which
many persons lost their lives. A short tint
afterWard Senator Rusk, on his return Il
Texas, committed suicide without any ap
parent cause. Our informant regarded thu
matter at the time Is idle talk, and as thu
vapOrings of such crazy characters as Keit
and Brooks, but in view of what has trans
PRED since, all the circumstances related Ger
tainly are remarkably curious. This wa
during Frank Pierce's administration, bu
our informant does not think he knew any
thing about il, except perhaps as a of tn
thousand rumors of the day.
But there is other evidence that a nature
plan existed at that time 70 break up tn
Union, the witness being no less q personag
than James Buchanan, who informed som
members Of the Boston City GoVernmen,
during a visit TO Washington last year, tha
he knew of the existence of a plot TO brea
up the Union had Fremont been elected
Mr.. Buchanan ought TO have known that
such a plot existed it had only been pos
poned, not abandoned; but he allowed th
traitors to mature their nefarious scheme
at the close Of his own term without int
ference.
