Reception by the sScbeIs.

The Murfreesboro correspondent Of
the Commercial furnishes that paper
with some items respecting Mr.. Val

prison, which are som ewhat interest.
ing. He says:
MURrREEsBoRo, May 25, 1868.
"Vallandigham arrived here on II
special train, under strong escort,
at ten o'clock last evening [Sundly]
having left Louisville III. the morning
and passed through Nashville without
stopping.
"His arrival was expected by the
military public, but its time not being
known, no demonstration Of any kind
took place. Indeed! That was sad
disappointment, we have no doubt
Ed. ENQ.l He was quietly taken in a
carriage to the quarters Of Major
Wiles, the Provost NJ ushal General,
where he was seen by Rosecrans and
a number of other officers. lie ap-
peared to be fully composed, and all
stained from the expression Of any Of
fensive sentiment.
Another wonder: The ilea that
the great peace agitator, who had been
so bold, fearless AMI oatspoken, in the
cause Of his country, against official
'usurpations, Government plundarers,
Abolition Disunionist5 and clerical hy-
pocrites, should abstain from the cx-
preston of any offensive sentiment,
must have male the Gagged lion look
like ameek kitten, in the eyes of those
around him, who expected to hear him
roar and shake his name, under the
influence of uncomfortable passion,
hatred and reyenge.-ED. Excl

with mounted escort, started down
to take him beyond our lines Oh the
Snelbyville Pike.
"By the way, the prisoner was
cheerful and discussed his situation

Very few who are about to enter
prison, knowing the sentence which
consigns him there to be in defiance
Of the Constitution and laws Of his
country, and in violation of the birth.

Nothing but the stolidity which years

Upon taking leave of his compan-
ions he-said in substance: 4 am citi-
zen Of the United States and loyal to
them, and want you to understand
that you leave me here as a prisoner
to the Confederate authorities.
"To Colonel Webb he made SINH,
lar declaration. The former received
hin with the remark that he 'had
read his speeches, but did not like
hem, and that he could not receive |
1im within the Confederate lines, but
would permit him to remain at his ,
post until he had ascertained the pleas
Ire of his suptriors.'
"Ihe flag of truce party then left
Mr.. Vallandigham to his fute, and re-
;urned."
This correspondent further says:
II deem it more thrn probable that
n the face of the antagonism to the
South he assumed in it, the enemy will
'efuse to receive him.
He was given to u lersttnd by Gen.
}osecrans that, should he arrange to
oturn within our lines in some way,
he Presidents order to carry his orig
nal sentence into effect would be eX~
uted."
Another correspondent has the fol-
owing on the same subject:
"MURFREEsBoRo, May 21.
