of Dayton, has been arreste1, and
is now on his trial before 2 Court

result may be, We know hot. We
say, let justice prevail, and truth
reigu. There has been some UNI
reasonable and most unjustifiable
proceedings in Dayton, since the
arrest of Vallandigham. The Jour.
nal Office, an Abolition newspaper,
has been destroyed by fire, aud
other buildings adjoining greatly

to foot up nearly $40, 900; some

rested as participants in the destruc,

been removed from Dayton, and
Montgomery county has been de.
clared under martial law. We say
to all parties, in the language of
Scripture, "Let your moderation he
known unto all men, be civil, cool,
calm, and strive to promote peace
among neighbtrS, and speak to
each other as brethren that agree

LATEST FROM THE FRONT.

We hear that a reconnaissance made yester-
siay demonstrated that there was no force of
rebels along the Orange and Alexandria Rail-
road as far ont as some miles beyond Bristow
Station, and facts ascsrtained by that move
ment create the impression that the main body
of Lees army is already on the retreat to some
point south of the Rappahannock, probably On
or near the direct road to Warrenton and Lit
tie Washington. In his movement in this
direction, General Meade took due care so
to destroy portions Of the railroad as to
render it useless for the time being to Lee, had
he been disposed to bring supplies upon it from
Richmond. As the country recently traversed
by his army could not supply him with pound
OF aught needful in the way of subsistence, and
as he failed to capture single dollars worth
OF Meadee supplies, he had but one Of two al
ternatives left him by Saturday evening last
either to fight Immediately for our supplies, or
to move his army elsewhere where rebel sup
plies are to be had.

THE SITUATION.

The quietude of Lees army after its signal
failure to damage us by its recent forced march
leads to the impression that he is now amin z
to inflict injury to us in the valley of the She
nandoah, attacking our isolated posts there and
breaking up the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
As will be perceived elsewhere in to days
Star, small rebel expedition to that end has
already failed of such results as Were designed.
The force making the effort could not have
been from Lees army however, L. not having
had time to dispatch any considerable body of
troops that far of from his main army Never
theless, unless he is promptly pressed from this
direction il seems to Us that the chances are ten
to one that he will make a demonstration
against Harper's Ferry and the railroad; a. it
will never do for him to stake the back track"
without essaying to hide his failure in our i'm
mediate front by some successful demonstra-
ton in the only other quarter within striking
distance OF his present position. These con-
siderations are doubtless foreseen by General
Meade and the Government, and, we believe,
will be efficiently guarded against. 1t is very
certain, we apprehend, that up to noon yester-
day the enemy was not to be found in force any
where south Of the Bull Run range of noun
tains; though about 2 p. M. there was Skin.
mishing for perhaps half an hour between
scouting parties, in the vicinity OF Bull Run,
it was judged by the reports of the guns.
