Globe prove that Vallandigham urged the in
crease of the pay of the private soldiers 50
per month, and that they should be paid in
GOLD. Yet the Abolitionists say that Val. is
the enemy of tho soldiers. Not so. He is
the enemy only of the Abolifionists and Sc
cessionists, who brought about the war. The
Abolitionists exiled him from his native State;
the Secessionists would not allow him to re.
main in their Confederaoy on account of his
Union sentiments. Neither the Abolitionists
or Secessionists can ever forgive Mr.. Vallan-
digham for offering the following resolutions
in Congress. There every Abolitionist voted
against them
Resolued, That the Union as it was must
be restored and maintained one and indirisi-
BILE forever under the Constitution as it is

2, RESOLVED, That if any person in the civil
or military service of the United States shall
propose terms of peace, or accept or advise
the acceptance of any such terms, OF any
than the integrity entirely of the Federal
Union, aud of the several States comprising
the same, and the territories of the Union, as
at the beginning of the civil war, he may be
guilty of a high crime.
Let every soldier-let every man-read the
above resolutions, and then reflect as to wheth-

Lesson.

What q lesson to the foster ers of hatred be.
tween the North and South is the fraterniza-
ton of the two armies at Yickburg after the
surrender To day, says the correspondent
of the New York Tribune, sfboth armies seem
10 have discarded every feeling of personal
bitterness and to have recognized the quarrel
in which they have been fighting a purely
public one, that ought not to interfere with
friendly personal relations. Wherever you
turn in the streets of Vicksburg, and on what.
ever transport you 60, you will find Union Of
fcers aud soldiers treating rebel officers and
soldiers to the best eatables and drinks our
army can afford, as if they were old friends
just met after a long separation. Cordiality
and good feeling prevail throughout the city,
There were no jeers by the Onion men. They
talked candy about the war. "To my sur
prise" says this observer, "I have never else.
where heard these conversational controvers-
les about the war and its causes and ends so
camly and mildly conducted since the com
mencement of our national troubles. No one
who has witnessed this extraordinary meeting
of the two armies can fail to have seen this
friendly spirit manifested. It is a subject of
remark throughout our army. My belief in
the irreconcilable chara cter of the feud be-
tween the North and the South has been
greatly undermined thereby" There have
been substantially the same scenes on others
occasions. The people North and South do
not want this war one moment longer than is
necessary to re. establish the Union, the Con-
s~titution and the laws.-Boston Posi-.

Democratic state Ticket.

1r Gen. Burnside has issued an order de-
claring the State of Kentucky invaded by a
rebel force with the avowed intention OF over
awning judges Of election, intimidating loyal
voters BY keeping them from the polls, and
forcing the election Of disloyal candidates at
the election on the Sd prox. tn military
force of the government is the only force that
can defeat this attempt. The State of Ken
tncky is, therefore, placed under martial law,
and all military officers are commanded to aid
the constituted authorities of the State in sup
port Of laws, and purity of suffrage. The le-
gally appointed judges at pnlla Wi11 he hela
strictly responsible that no disloyai person be
allowed to vote, aud to this end the military
power is ordered to give them its utmost sup
port.
The above we cut from the telegraphic dis.
patches of Saturday last. The election in
Kentucky took place ON Monday of this week.
Immediately before the election, the Butcher
Burnside, places ths State under martial law,
and says that stno disloyal person shall be per
mitted to vote" Mr.. Burnside declares all
Democrats disloyal; and hence, none hut Abo
i~itienists were permitted to vote. The man
that came up with a Democratic ticket had a
bayonet stuck at his bosom and was driven from
the polls, OF, if permitted to vote, did SO at the
peril of an arrest and a trial by court. martial.
Such is freedom in this boosted land of the
free. England, France, Austria, Prussia, or
even Russia,-the most despotic of the despo-
tisms of the old world-haye. never dared to
attempt such tyrannical control over the
persons of their subjects. In the tele-
graphic column will be found partial re-
turns of the election in Kentucky. A few
Aboltionists, for the purpose of making a
show, were permitted to vote the Democratic
ticket. The returns show the true position of
sffairs.
We have but one word further to say. The
people1tEsB submit to such despotism are fit
subjects for slaves. The men that win stand

Fearful Havoc.

In May, 1861 the First Minnesota Regiment
entered service with its full complement of a
thousand men. After the battle of Bull Run,
a recruiting Office was opened in st. Paul to
ill up its ranks aud recruits continued to be
sent on till the fall of 1862Show many, in
the aggregate, We do not know. But now we
see q notice of the fact that a st. Paul paper
recently appeared 10 mourning for the Lost of
the Minnesota First it having gone into the
battle of Gettysburg with only 300 men and
came cut with but one hundred! And this is
all that remains of as fine a Regiment as was
in the servicc-of its recruits, as well as OF its
original membersl This is a sad tale -; sad be-
yond conception are the fearful truths Of war.

The Unfrufhfulness or Ignoranc.
of the President.

H. WEI
In his remarkable letter to the Ohio Depu-
%tation, refusing to accede to their requeat to
annul his unconstitutional and illegal Danish
ment of Mr.. Vallandigham, President Lincoln
said
We allknow that combinations, armed, in
some instances, to resist the arrest of deserters,
began several months ago that more recently
the like has appeared in resistance to the en-
r~olnent preparatory to a draft; and that quite
a number of assassinations have occurred from
the same animus. These had to be met by
military force, and this again has ledto blood
shed and death,
These things have been notorious, known to
all, and of course known to Mr.. V~allandigham.
Perhaps I would not be wrong to say they or
iginated with his especial friends and adhe-
rents. With perfect knowledge of them, he
has frequently made speeches in Congress and
before popular assemblies I; and if it can be
shown that with these things staring him in
the face, he has euer- uttered a soord Of rebake
or counsel against them, it viii be a fact great
ly in his favor with me, and one of which, as
yet, l I'm totally ignorant. 49, =

states that If Mr.. ~Vallandtgham he's ever ut

sistanee to the draft, sit would be a fact great

TO the Editor of The Nelo York Times:
HAllow me to say that the statement of your
reporter that I denied that we owed any ODE

that I counseled resistance to it by the people
of the North, arc both incorrect. On the
contrary, I expressly counseled the trial of all

This card, in connection with the extract
above, shows how completely the President
has misrepresented Mr., Vallandigham, and
that, in order to make a case against him on
his own PROMISES he has to resort to a direct
and 6nmitigated falsehood.. This certainly
completes a most shameless record of the Pres
