VALLANDIGHAM AMONG THE
REBELS.
What the Chattanooga Rebel thinks
of him and his Future.
MoRFRREsDoRo. May 80, 1863.

The Rebel in an editorial of the 18th,
expresses Indignation at Lincoln's attempt
to make the Southern Confederacy the
Botany Bay of the North. and advises the
return of Vallandigham to the Federal
lines as professed public enemy.
In leaier of the Goth it strikes up a
milder strain, as follows:
eve have little to say in addition to
what we have already said, in regard to
the case of Mr.. Vallandigham. Had we
consulted our feelings. perhaps we would
have said less or remained silent altogeth-

WeAre quite sure that no one will appre-
ciate the force of our remarks more clearly,
or accept them in franker spirit than the
subject himself. Upon the mind of a
weak man they might fall harshly, as the
first token of public opinion, but to one of
his enlightened liberality, they will come
in shape more charitable than ill-natured
or violent, for our counsel is sincere, and,
we believe, also, correct.
Seriously. we do not doubt the course
which he will adopt. We really consider
his prospects to be Governor of Ohio very
fair. We wish them realised because he is

On the 29th it says, in another leader:
