Northumberland.

Mr.. Congressman Gurley lately pre-.
sented to the House petition of over
six hundred names, of citizens of Ohio,
requesting the expulsion of Vallandig-
ham, whom they stigmatize as traitor
to the country and disgrace to the
State. If Vallandigham has spark
of manliness left in his composition he
will now resign-and be in hurry
about it, too.
If he does not, and Congress has a
proper regard for its own reputation,
it will expel him. There is no doub,
that he is as arrant a traitor as jeff
Davis himself and one that conclusive
proof can be found of the fact. He is
a disgrace to Congress.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT DID.-The
army correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune says it is right to state that
we are indebted to President Lincoln
for the recent achievements at and
near Norfolk, as on his arrival at Fort
rcss Monroe he gave the order that led
to such prompt and satisfactory results.
The same writer in referring to "the
President" says pertinently: "How en-
Enthusiastically all speak of the noble
head of cur nation-the Providential
man, the Moses of our Israeli / never
witnessed so much enthusiasm about
any man as about that plain, homely,
gaunt being who walks transformations s.
ly among our soldiers, and whom they
greet as their truest friend. To-day he
visited the hospitals at Fortress Mon
roe, and spoke to every wounded man
in those crowded warm rooms, where
rebels and Unionists lay side by side on
beds of pain. "God bless him said
many of our wounded boys. "Amen,'
responded family but fervently some
rebel soldiers. l do not wonder at the
report which reaches us this evening,
that some rebel prisoners refused to
so back to their own army, they are SO
differently treated than among us, and
where they must contrast the unfeeling
traitor, jeff. Davis, with the truest
man-God's noblest work, the man for
the hour-ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

nWo The other day when the reaolu.

eW@ The other day when the resolu-
ton permitting our armies to be sub
sisted from the property of rebels in the
country through which they march,
was adopted by Congress, the Demo-
Gratis all voted against it. They seem to
be determined that the loyal people shall
bear all the expense of this war, the
rebels going scot free, and yet they
are perpetually depreciating the bur-
den of taxation. 1t is their opposition
to such measures as the above, and an
effective confisc alton act that is aggre-
eating our taxation-making it more
burdensome than it otherwise would be.

eW The Composition Of Mr.. Lin,
coins Cabinet has been a source of
constant perplexity to our democratic
friends. In its early stages they sim
gled out Postmaster General Blair as
the great radical-the con to Richmond
man"-the maligner of General Scott.
Mr.. Cameron, however, with his negro
brigades, soon doomed up as the terri
bic fellow. But he retired from the
Cabinet, and Mr.. Stanton, amid loud
democratic huzzahs, took his place.
Presently Mr.. Welles became an es.
pecial object of wrath and abuse, but
the constantly recurring naval victories
made this bad vein to work. The
next victim was Mr.. Stanton, who fell
under special displeasure, for ivarions
reasons, prominent among which were
his interference with the plans of Gen.
Mcclellan" aud as the real father of

are assured that it is just discovered
that Secretary Chase is the worst radi-

Brown school of Republicans Mr..
Seward, of course, is always locofoco
