Under the pretense of affording change IA

the country with Individual issues eff small

Under the laws of Mississippi this is grave
msdemeanor, and, as we profess to be n law

once. We call attention to the following pro-
visions on this subject, articles "a and IS, sec
ton 10, of the Revised Code Of Mississippi:

authority by lav to do so, shall keep any office
for issuing any notes, bills, Certificates of de-

The friends of the Hon E N. Stanton,
Secretary Of War plead the "baby act for
him. He Is nobody; merely poor devil of .
clerk. The President is responsible for every
thing. Mr.. Chandler, OF Michigan, says, in
the Senate:

clerk, the agent of your commander in-chief,
the President of the United States. VIII it
help your commander-in chief if the man who
simply registers his DEGREES shall be sacFifeedf
Ne, sir-E. n. Stanton, Secretary of War, is
merely the clerk of the President of the Uni
ted states, writes his dispatches and obeys his
orders"
And so forth, for quantity. Is it possible
that the Secretary of War, in time Of war
so tremendous, Is person so Insignificant ?
We thought certain responsibilities were at
tached to his Office. The President, 10 bes sure,
is responsible for everything. But Mr.. Chan
der also discovers that Gen. Mcclellan or the
President-no third party-is responsible for

General as well as the Secretary, must obey

The Empers,'s plans.

The following is an extract from Paris
letter, dated June 81, 1882:
The French people are much excited by the
news of the recent repulse of their troops in
Mexico. But the old feeling rsmsins. " En-
apant batGitlorsf" is the cry. Still, as the
scheme to elevate Prince Maximilian to the
Mexican throne is evidently to prove failure
from the indisposition Of the people to submit
to another Yturbide, and she rupture Of the
! tripartite swiudle by England and Spain, the
Emperor, after twisting his moustsehe, has
lit on another expedient, and recouPs for
another deal.
He offers the following 6on-ton TO his protege,
the Archduke. This is principality on the
Danube, to consist of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
which are very respectable counties, with q
good many square miles, lying between the
Danube and Dalmatis. They possess some
large towns, and win form solid background
to Dalmatia on the Sdriatie.
1t is true they are not the property of Louis
Napoleon any more than Mexico, and they
vii he We to be forced or stolen from 1.-The sick
man." The consideration expected in return
Is the yielding up of Venitin, and sequiescence
in the designs upon the temporal power of the
Pope.

CINCINNATI, July IL, 1862
EDS Con-: In the speech Vallandigham
made at Columbus on the 4th of this month,
occurs the following: am in any event and
under all circumstances for the Union which
God ordained of the Mississippi Valley, and
all which may cling TO it, under The old name,
the old Constitution" &C., &c.
Messrs. Editors, it does not require man of
more than common understanding to discover
in the above extract the real intent of this
treacherous man. "Under all circumstances"
he says, he is for the I" Union Of the Missis-
sippi Valley"-that is, should the rebels sue.
coed in establishing an independence, be would
have these loyal Northern States of the West
strike hands with the traitors who are now
causing the deaths of SO many of our brave and
valuable citizens. / cannot see that any other
construction can be given this sentence, for |iS
any eUent' he is for such Union-a Union
with those States which have baugLtily in
suited the whole Northwes: by firing into un-
armed STEAMBOATS, in their peaceful passage
down the Mississippi, and we, men of the
West, the humble supplicants knocking for
admission at their door But why should Mr..
V. have such Union Had we not one
good enough before2 can see no other
reason than the fact that, the rebels having
wickedly revolutionized, would like to draw
| the rich domains of the West with all their
wealth and resources, into their vortex, and in
| the event of the establishment of their indie,
pendence, they would be the rulers--our rulers
and legislate over us as they desired, against
the comparatively small opposition of the
Northwestern States. Such a Union / firmly
believe is contemplatedby Mr.. ValIandigham
and his deceitful followers. Such a Union
would be far from advantageous to US. We
had Union strong and great, prosperous and
happy, and we cannot re-establi h it ouTseLues
without falling down before the doors OF
rebels, then there should be no Union. In
deed, the effrontery of Vala- dighsm is aston
ishing. The true men of the West, $50 many
thousands of them EARNED in the holy cause" p,
will spurn with contempt any efforts to induce
them to ask fsvors of the rebels until they are
completely subdued. That Vallandigham and
! his followers are really intent upon effectine
. union between the Northwest and the traitors
of the South, in case of their independence, is
, the firm belief of an OBSERVER.

The remarkable address written by Arch

world, and signed by the three hundred card
inals and bishops now congregsted at Rome,
has made deep sensation ali over Europe,
and more particularly in Italy, affected more
than any other country on earth by the ques-

the temporal power OF his holiness being grant

are powerless against it; that Rome and the

rhe Canal at vlcksburg.

The canal, as heretofore intimated, is as yet
nothing but ditch six feet wide, and three or
four feet deep. A crowd Of soldiers, who far
outnumber the negroes, lined the bank and
filed the channel, and the work went quickly
on under their rapid strokes. The soldiers la
bored in the woods, where the shade pretectel
them, and the negroes piled theirshcvels in the
open sunshine, whose melting rays tn Y court ID
with uncovered heads and bare bosoms, while
ringing shouts filed the air and lightened the
toll. The soldiers caught the infection, and,
with crude limitations of the African melody,
strained their lungs to make as much noise as
possible, succeeding SO well that continuous
howl went up along the entire line of a mile in
length, waking the echoes, and doubtless caus-
ing the secesh 10 wonder what the Yankees
wele at now The canal will need deepening
five or six feet, and it will then admit the Mis-

rent is tremendous, and, unless the scheme goes
contrary to all probabilities, theriver will turn
from It's bed in time.

The Richmond e 4 sminer on McCIeI. ans
Position.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Richmond
Examiner, of the 7tn inst, has been received
here. Discoursins on Gen. McClellans pres
emit position, it says:
We believe all that was known in the city
Yesterday, outside of the several circles of
bureaucracy, was that the enemy had taken
q strong position, with one of his tanks rest
ing on the river, about Berkeley, completely
under cover of MS gun boats, and his extreme
right reaching to Herring Creek, where his
position is defended By an almost impregna-
BILE morass.
1t is supposed taat the enemy would have
been attacked yesterday, but there had been
no lighting Up to the last accounts. 1t is not
to be supposed the enemy has selected these
plantations as the scene of his last great stand,
without good reasons. The 6rst and most ap-
parent of these is, that Westover landing is
perhaps the very best grounds on the james
river, ard the stream for miles up and down
being broad and Deep affords both an excel
lent sea room and anchorage for his gunboats
| and transports. But this is, by no means, the
only advantage of the position. On the west
side of Berkeley are impass& u ravines, run
ming from near the Charles road N the north
TO James river, making a successiUl attack
from that quarter next te impossible
| Within quarter of a mile from where
THESE r2Vines OeSiH, herring CreeA crosses tue
Charles City Road. The whole course of this
creek is one impossible morass, while along lis
northern and eastern banks extend the heights
of wellington. The enemy 8 position presents
but one pregnable point-the piece of level
country north west of Westover from quar-
ter to half mile in width, lying between the
head of the ravines and the point where Her
ring Creek crosses the Charles City Road
Already this eateranee to his stronghold is
within range of his gun boats, and Of his

His steamers and transports are running up
to the very doors of his tent.
Ten days ago, when Mcclellan beleagured
Richmond, with the exception of about Ave
miles of the Chicahominy low ground, he &C
cupied the most barren, and at the same tim
the worst watered and most unhealthy region
of Eastern Virginia.
With Seven Pines as their headquarters
the very pick ard flower of the Northern arm
was concentrated, and here for weeks thei
vigor and numbers melted away under the in
fuence of miasmi, bad water, and souther
sun but by his hasty trip through Whit
Oak Swamp, Mcclellan has EMERGED wit
thinned ranks into more genial land.

Rum0red Threatened Raid By Jaekson.
Gsn. Piatt's Wagon Tratns Attacked.
Gen. Pope takes ths Field.
Special Dispatch 70 tbs Chicago Tribane.i
WAsHISeroS, July Ii, 1ss2--It is believed
that there is some foundation for the rumor
that Stonewall jackson threatens to turn up
again in The Shenandoah. Prominent Fede-
raj officers there believe that he was at Lursy
with rec of 1000 last Thursday The news
from officers at different points in the valley
seem to confirm the view that either he or
some of his troops are there; and so does the
fact of the recent attack on portion of Gen
Pistts wagon train.
The plans that had been formed for Gen.
Sigel are foregone, and he assumes active COM
mand of the first corps of the army Of Viz
ginis at once.
If the story is true that Jackson is again in
the valley, it is not supposed that be can have
any considerable force with him.
Pope has been continuing his headquarters
here, but it is understood tEat be will JON the
army in the field tomorrow.
