NALLANplGHAM OK HIS BANIsHMENr.-
The Murireesboro' CORES pondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, in detailing Mr. Vallandigham 5
forced interview with the rebels, says:
In conversation with your CORRESPONDENT
he oandidly admitted that the dealings Of the
GoCerHmept t0ith himself icere necessary and
just Fable If the Union was to be restored
by war, he admitted that in that case the Gov
eminent would be obliged to use all the phys
zeal force Of the loyal States, and could toler-
ate no opposition. This, however. he de-
olared would be at the expense OF the free
principles Of our Constitution whereas, he
thought that by the adoption Of his plan, not
only might his principles be conserved, but
the Union Of States ultimately restored"
It would appear from this that Mr. Vallan-
digham regards his arrest and Punishment as
consistently required by the position OF the
Government in endesyoring to subdue the re-
belhon by force Of arms, whereas the objec-
ton to these measures be thinks can logically
come only from those who approve Mr.. Val
landigham's peace policy. Those who have
teen IN hurry to censure the Government on
account Of this case, may be profted hy
learning how the victim himself regards il.

An able discourse from Isaiah 40 24--26,

wrong, and must therefore end, sooner or
later. in all lands, either by voluntary emanci-
states refused emancipation, and violence was
the only mode left; not the violence of slaves
in instruction, but the violence Of the mas
ters in instruction. In word, this war,
the slavocrats, in order to save country for
the free white men, is in the Divine design to
restore the slaves to liberty. We quote a
point which is we'll handled, and commend it
to those who are disturbed by the clap-trap

MR. VALLANDGGHAM.-A Chattanooga dis
patch in the Richmond papers gives the fol-

"Nallandigham is still at Shelbyville. He
says that while as an exile he is confident Of
KIND and hospitablo treatment and considera'
ton from generous and hospitable people,
he desires to avoid all public appearance or
demonstration, and to live in some retired
place as retired gentleman. He is full SEN
slole that as an alien enemy his residence IN
the Coniederacy is solely allowed by the gen
erous consent Of the government and people,
until he can return home in safety. He IS
confident his character is well enough known
to satisfy all that he is incapable of any word
or act while here or on his return to Ohio,
inconsistent iOih the relations he sutams to-
yards The South during his soiourn among

Goray sent flag of trace to Gen. Ortoga, Of

providing they would give a parole not to
serve against the French again. This was
refused by Gen. Ortega. In the meanwhile
Cen Ortega spiked his cannon, burnt his gun
