Ossa State -BGTnt in F6igy and requested
10 ieape he Ohio Camp
WAsHEGToS, July 8, 1851.
Last week that unrivSllsd specimen of
degradation-that base traitor, Vallandig-
ham, who disgrsces the State of Ohio by
representing her in the House, had the i'm
pudenoe to show his treaohsrous face in the
campo the brave, Union. loving and traitor
hating Ohio volunteers. This VallAndig.
ham, appropriately named "Vandslscamp)
succeeded in getting pass from Gen. Scott
to visit the camps on the Virginia side,
perhaps for the purpose of getting informa
tiOn 10 send on to JEFF Davis. When he
arrived at Camp Upton, where the Ohio
troops are stationed, he sauntered to the
quarters of Lieut., Col PARROT, who is
fellow tOWnsman of Vans, and addressed
him familiarly With--HHoW are you, Ell"
PARROT replied by in effect requesting Van
TO clear out saying that traitors were not
wanted in that Camp. Van sneaked away
like a whipped dog, with his tail between
his legs. Il soon became nOised that the
Hon. (22 Mr.. Vallandigham was in the
camp. Forthwith committee of officers
waited upon him and politely requested
him to leave, as his presence Was exceed
ingly distastefuI to all, Van declined to
move. The boys were soon uprOariOus.-
They hissed him, and some went so far
IS to throw some scraps Of provisions at
him. Henry Pickands, Of the Grsys, told
Mr.. V. that if he (Pickands) was only q
citizen for Eve minutes, he would take him
and duck him in the creek close by. By
this time Mr.. Vandalseamp concluded that
the best thing he could do was to move
out. While passing out Of the camp, Fife
Major Robinson struck up the "Rogue's
March" which was an eminently appro-
pirate tune for this prince Of rogues. Van
cipitate retreat that he would visit the
camp as much as be pleased. In the mean
while the boys had made up an efigy la
belled Vsllandigham the Traitor" This
effigy was suspended by the road side, and
member of the Grays stood near by, as
mOIionless as g statue, with his revolver in
hand pointed at the efigy. Van thus had
the pleasure of riding under perfect rep
resentation of himself strung up in the air.
The efigy would have been riddled by
shots, were it not thst the regulations of
the camp forbade firing of arms.
This visit of Mr.. Vandalscamp will
doubtless teach him q severe lesson and be
a warning to all traitors 10 avoid the camp
Of the patriotic volunteers.
In conclusion, to show the Unreasonable
meanness of this contemplate traitor,
will append the following from the New
York Tribune:
HOW A REBEL TREATS HIS MOTHER.
To the Editor Of the n 7. Tribune:
Sir Since the Hon. @. L. Vallandigham,
member of Congress from the Dayton Dis
triot in this State, has manifested 80 much
sympathy with the traitor crew of JEFF.
Davis, hear many people asking what
sort of q man he can be. I cannot better
answer these inquiries than by the rela-
tion Of fact well known here, and from
which loyal people may learn what sort Of
stuff Northern traitors are made Of.
This notorious Vsllsndighsm has poor
old mother, well stricken in years, who
daily realizes
How sharper than serpent's tooth it Is
To have thankiess child"
This worthy old ladyis q respected mem
ber Of the Presbyterian Church in Dayton,
and, although the mother Of an honorable
member Of Congress- man very we'll off
in worldly property, beside his $4,000 a
year and mileage-she is literally left to the
care Of the parish. At the last meeting of
the New Lisbon Presbytery, on the motion
of the Rev. o. NJ. Todd, relief was granted
to Mrs Vsllandighsm by vote Of the body.
And for several years past she has been
regularly relieved in the same manner.
The congregation Of which she is a mem
Der have also, from time to time, furnished
the means of support, without which she
must have suffered the last degradation Of
virtuOus poverty--the pOoF-hOuse. ~
From these facts your readers can judge
how little of manly truth and cOnscien-
tious scruple stood in the path that led
Vallandigham to the camp Of his country's
enemies. The mar who thus neglects a
helpless mother, would very naturally in
cline to the side Of theft and treason, Let
him be marked and remembered.
New Lisbon, O., July 4, 1851.
