Gov. Seymours Letter to the Vallan
digham Meeting.

ALBANY, May 1.-THE following is the
letter Of Governor Seymour to the Val.
landigham meeting last night:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, May l6.
/ cannot attend the meeting at the Cap
itol this evening, but | wish TO state my
opinion in regard to the arrest of Mr.. Val
landigham. 1t is an act which has brought
dishonor upon our country. 1t is full of
danger TO our persons and our homes. 1t
bears upon its front conscious violation
of law and Justice. Acting upon the eyi.
dence of detailed informers, shrinking
from the light of day, in the darkness of
night, armed men violated the house of an
American citizen and furtiyely bore him
away to military trial, conducted without
those safeguards known 10 the proceed Z.
ings OF our judicial tribunals. The trans
action involved series Of offences against
our most sacred rights. IL interfered
with the freedom Of speech it moested
our rights to be secure in our homes
against unreasonable searches and seiz.
ures; it pronounced sentences without
trial, save one which was a mockery, which
insulted as well as wronged. The perpec
traitors now seek to impose punishment,
not for an offence against law, but for the
disregard of an invalid order, put forth in
the utter disregard Of the principles OF
civil liberty. lfthis proceeding is appro.
we'd by the Government, aud sustained by
the people, it is not merely step toward
revolution 1T is revolution; il will not
only lead 70 military despotism-it estab>
fishes military despotism. In this aspect
it must be accepted, or in this aspect re-
Jected. If it IL upheld, our liberties are
overthrow, the safety Of our persons, ,se'
curity of our property, will hereafter deN
pend upon the arbitrary will of such mill,
tary rulers as may be placed over Us, while
our constitutional guarantees wall be bros
ken down. Even now,lhe Governors and
Courts Of some Of the Western States have
sunk into insignificance before the deS-
potic powers claimed and exercised by
military men who have been sent into
their borders. 1t is q fearful thing TO in.
crease the danger which now overhangs
US by treating the law, The Judiciary, and
the Sia'e authorities with contempt. The
people of this country now wait with the
deep 'st anxiety the decision of the Ad.
ministratlon upon these acts. Having
given /; generous support in the conduct
of the war, we pause to see whit kind of
Government it is for which we are asked
TO pour out our blood and our treasures.
The action Of the Administration will de-
termine in the minds OF moro than ones
half Of the people OF the loyal States
whether tlts war is waged to put down
rebellion at the South or destroy the free
institutions at the North. We look for
its decision with most solemn soliciiude

the war and its conduct, and of course
Gen. Mcclellan came into consideration,
and the impudent little Abolition squirt
said Mcclellan was either a traitor or a
coward" Ben could hold no longer, and
said II was lie ! The officer began to
open his great coat aud find the way TO
his pistol, and said he allowed no man 10
speak to him that way. Ben said "he did
not care for IL vas id lie, and the
man that said it was a liar, and ought to
be kicked" looked for a little fuss. but
lost no time in making up my mind to
pin the villain to the ground with my
bayonet ifhe attempted to shoot, and
probably my looks betrayed my intention /;
for the little pimp cooled bis patriotic
zeal Tor his master Greeley, and found
some adjustment about his coffee necessa.
ry thst required his immediate attention.
This same officer was previously boasting
about his coolness and bravery in time of
danger and said he was sleeping all day
on Sunday when the battle was raging so
fieroely. Ben took occasion to tell him
that that was about the amount of inter.
est he felt in the cause Of the Union-so
he got the one hundred dollars per month
and had but little duty to do he was per>
fectly willing TO let the battle rage, ard
the war to continue so he was not expos
cd to danger and continue TO draw pay
The fellow began to think he was getting
in bad company and dropped the conver.
sation as soon as possible.
The time is soon up now 10 start again
on our march and lam sleepy, and should
have been sleeping instead Of writing,
were II not tor the interest | know you
feel in our condition. Ben is lying on the
bunk asleep and all is quiet in camp, the
boys are drowsy and tired.

Tie If6uHe says Lees army at the time
he crossed to give him battle only counts
ed 10000 men. The Times says Hooker's
army at the same time numbered l59, 300
men. 1t thus appears that with more
than three times Lees army Hooker was
unable to whip him in the first fight, and
unable TO do it with twice and half his
number Of men after he got his reinforce. L.
ments
According the statements ofthe Trib ne
and Times Hooker's loss in killed and
wounded, in the several battles, amouni-
ed TO only 10000 to 5000, which, with
the prisoners captured by the enemy,
numbering FIVE or six thousand more,
would make the total loss from $4,000 10
$4,000. Lee il is stated by the same au-
thorities, lost m1re than Hooker did, or
about 10000 exceeding half lis or
iginal force He could not have been re,
intorced by moie than 10000 to $4,000
men. That would leave his whole force
after his losses including the loss ofGen.
jackson, who was host in himself--from
$4,000 to 10000 men. Before this small
force Hooker retreated with an army
which after all his losses, still numbered
$4,000 men, or about four 10 one of Ike
