Mr.. Vallandigham has been profuse in his
, curses against Great Britain, and just now
they seem like chickens to be returning home
to roost. He is holding court at the Clifton
House, on the Canada side at Niagara Falls,
receiving his friends and laying down the law
for his eo-sympathlsers in treason, finding
more or less favor in the eyes of the loyal sub
jects of the Queen. The Canadians recently
gave him an entertainment, but the Toronto
Globe, which has been always friendly to the
North and which looks with unmitigated con-
tempt Upon treason and traitors, has COM
uienced ventilating the record of the great
ostracised copperhead in a way that bids fair
to let the light into the usually stolid brains of
the Canucks.
The Globe reproduces the preamble and
resolutions offered by Mr.. V. in the House Of
Representatives on the Mason and Slidell case,
and the remarks accompanying them, showing
the intense hatred he bore the British govern
ment-a hatred second in intensity only to
that which he bore the constitutional govern
ment of his own country. What the Globe
especially dilates on, is passage in the reso-
lutions in which Vallandigham urgedthe gov
eminent TO approve and adopt the act of Com
modore Wilkes, "in spite of any menace or
demand of the British government" The
Globe thinks that the author of this sentiment
should not receive any great attention from
loyal British subjects, and the Canucks are
already beginning to be ashamed of them
selves. -
The Globe clearly interprets the base mo-
tive that instigated Valandigham on the occa-
sion referred 10. he endeavored to embarrass
President Lincoln, and for this purpose only
he disregarded the right, induced in viru-
lent abuse of England, and adopted course
(which, had it been successful, must have
"plunged Britain and America into war.
Either way made his gain. If Mr.. Lincoln
surrendered the rebel commissioners he
thereby offended against the feeling Mr.. Val
"landigham had done his utmost to arouse.
If he accepted the resolution Of the Ohio
member, a war was thereby incurred, which
"must have ended in the independence Of the
"South."
In closing his long and able expose of this
notorious character, the Toronto editor says
He is well known to all students of States politics

hbcug Great Britain, until he had to fly 10 her do

ago we extended TO John Anderson. the fugitive
slave from Missouri. let us not forget are Brit

% At special meeting of the City Coun-
Gil Of Augusta committee was appointed to
make arrangements for the reception of the
Maine 2lst, 23d and 18th Regiments. The
committee have arranged their programme,
and will give those regiments such welcome
as will cause them to forget for the time the
tolls and sufierlngs they have endured during
their nine months service. On their arrival at
Augusta the bells of the city are to be rung
and national salute fired. The regiments
will be received at the Depot by an escort ac-
companied by the Augusta Brass Band, and
march through the principal streets to the
place selected for collation., where a recep-
ton speech will be made by the Mayor and
the regiments will be addressed by other dis
tinguished gentlemen. Merchants and bust
ness men have been requested to close their
stores and places Of business and give all in
their employ an opportunity to unite in the
demonstrations Of the occasion.

SB- Col. Ii. S. Putnam, killed in the late
attack on Fort Wagner, was native of Cor
nish, N. H., and a graduate OF West Point.
He was on McDowelIs staff at the first Bull
Ruiz battle, where he distinguished himself for
his GOODNESS and intrepidity. He was appoint
ed to the command of the eth New Hampshire
regiment in Oct, 1861. In the attack on Fort
Wagner he was the first upon the parapets,
urging his men forward, and when suffering
severely under the shower of grape and canis-
ter he called upon them to hold on a little
longer and reiniorcements would be there.
While thus keeping his men to duty he was
struck by a grape shot and expired without
uttering a word.

EVENING PAPERS.
The Siege Of Fort Wagner.

Inc cleRe Oh FOrt wagner.
New YORK, July 80.
The gunboat Paul Jones arrived this morn
ing from Charleston harbor Sunday evening.
She was ordered here tor repairs, being leaky
and having burst her 100-pounder on the 18th
at the seventy-eghth discharge.
The siege of Fort Wagner continued when
she left. Gen. Gilmore had succeeded in erect
ing battery OF heavy siege guns within 1000
yards OF Fort Wagner. Everything is pro-
crossing lavorabiy. Fort Sumter aud Fort
johnson on James Island kept up a continual
fire on our forces, but the casualties average
only about six per day. The troops and navy
were in fine spirits.
The steamer Cosmopolitan, from Port Roy
al 18th, with 1S5 of the wounded from Gen.
Gilmore's army, has also arrived. There were
several deaths on the passage, including Lieut..
Goodwin, of the 9th Maine. All were buried
at sea.
All the wounded from Morris Island have
been taken to Beaufort, where eight hospitals
have been established.
The inhabitants of Beaufort are doing ev-
erything for the comfort Of the wounded.
The colored hospital at Beaufort has seven
ty-two wounded OF the 54th Mass. regiment in
it. They are well attended by steward Haw-
kens, of the LIST Mass. Cavalry, and DIR. Ben
ton, of the Florida being in charge, assisted
by number of female nurses.
These soldiers are unbounded In their en-
thusiasm for their late commander. Col. Shaw,
and express some impatience for recovery to
return to the field.
The officers hospital is in charge OF DR.
Bundy, of Boston, assisted by naval surgeons
Mann and Macomber, who volunteered their
services.
Among the passengers on the Paul Jone:
are Commander Cushman, Of the monitor
Montauk, and the officers and crew of the AID
ans Express steamer Augusta Dinsmore.
The steamer George Collins reports on thu
morning of the 10th, saw gunboat steering
be blockade runner.

From the Army of the Potomac,

NEW YORK, July so.
The Times publishes the following special
despatch: The army to-day occupies practi-
cally the same line that it did two months ago.
The recent active movements will be necessa-
rily followed by period of comparative mac
ton, during which it it will be recruited aud
recuperated. The most stupendous blunder
of the war is still the common topic among all
grades. for all firmly believe that had Lee been
attacked on the Sunday previous to his com
mencing to re-cross the Potomac, the rebellion
to-day would have been at an end. Next
month the cavalry will do most of the fight
ing.

From Jackson. Mississippi.

We have been permitted to copy the follow
ing from private letter written by an officer
in the Army of the Mississippi, to a relative in
this city, under date of near Jackson. Miss.
July 13th.":
"The town of jackson is now invested by
our forces. Our corps is on the left. The
weather is intensely warm, and number OF
cases of sunstroke occurred on our march from
the Big Black. We suffered greatly in coming
from the Yazoo, from the want of water, that
was seldom to be found, and when found scarce
ly fit to drink. The region of the Big Black
is densely timbered-its waters sluggish, banks
muddy, seemingly a fit haunt for aligators. To
drink its waters, they say is death.
"The night camped here there occurred
one of the most terrific thunder storms have
ever encountered. The reports of thunder
were incessant and loud. We seemed to be in
the midst of the discharges of thousand seige
guns. heard that one officer and two of the
men were struck by the lightning. After one
OF the hardest marches / ever made, we came
up with the enemy. / placed our artillery in
position. Our lines of infantry swept down
the slopes preceded by skirmishers We went
up the hill through the woods until near the
Insane Asylum, a large building with dome
and cupola, and camped near that institution.
Yesterday we fired few rounds from the Par
rott Batteries of the 9th Corps, which learn
dismounted gun, drove away field battery,
and set fire to house, &c. Firing is constant
ly going on.
"14th. There is a cessation of firing, flag
of truce having been granted. went into our
rife pits this morning to reconnoitre. From
brick house near the line of skirmishers, 1 had
good observation of their works. saw sew
eral guns in classmates made of cotton bales"
z.
Since the date of the above letter we have
received intelligence Of the evacuation and
almost entire destruction of Jackson.

The Government and the CoIored Troops

The Government and the COlOred Troops.
Hon. William Whiting, Solicitor to the War
Department, in communication to the col
ored citizens of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, who had
invited him to address them, says:
The employment of colored troops was. in
the beginning, an experiment. The, law of
1862, which first authorized them to enter the
service, provided no means Of payment.
The second law which permitted their en-
ployment, authorized them to be paid ten dol
lars per month, and one ration per day. This
law was, however, made with reference 10
those who by force of arms, or by provisions
OF statutes, had been recently freed from
bondage.
The important class Of colored soldiers from
the Free States were probably not in the con-
temptation OF Congress when framing these
acts. But now, while colored meu are admit
ted TO be citizens of several OF the Northern
States and of the United States, and since the
CONSUMPTION Act makes no distinction be-
tween white and colored citizens, but requires
them equally TO be enrolled and drafted in the
force Of the United States, there seems to be
no reason why such citizens should not. when
volunteering TO serve the country, be placed
upon the same footing with other soldiers as
regards their pay and bounty.
The attention OF Congress will be directed
to this subject, and from the generous manner
in which they have treated the soldiers here
tofore, it cannot be doubted that they will
honor themselves by doing full justice to those
of every color, who rally round the Union flag
in time of public danger.
But do not forget that the colored soldiers
are not fighting for pay. They will not let
their enemies reproach them with being mean
as well as cowardly. They will not lose this.
their first chance, to vindicate their right TO
be called and treated as men. Pay or no pay,
they will rally round that banner of freedom
which shall soon float over a country that con-
tains no slaves within its borders.
The policy Of the government is Jf.red and
immovable. Congress has passed the irrevo-
cable acts Of emancipation. The Supreme
Court of the United States have unanimously
decided that, since July ID, 1861, we have
been engaged in a territorial civil war, and
have full belligerent rights against the inhabi-
tants of the rebellious districts. The Presi-
dent has issued proclamations under his hand
and seal. Abraham Lincoln takes no back
ward step. A man once made free by law
cannot be again made slave. The govern
ment has no power, II it had the will, to do it..
0mnipotence alone can re-enslaye a freeman.

WEST FALMOUTH. July 20. 1891

w ESI It ALMoIIh, July 20, 1861.
Mr.. Editor After three trials-tlat is,
after three town meetings---the ancient and
once respected town of falmouth has had TO
succumb-no, l will not say has had TO, for
there is large majority of Union-loving men
still remaining but has succumbed to the
Copperheads.
The first and second meetings were held a
short time previous to the commencement of
the drafting. and were quietly disposed Of, be-
ing dismissed without other action. The
third was held yesterday. 1t being an uncom-
monty busy season but few Union men were
out, as the Copperheads probably anticipated;
therefore they had everything their own way,
and voted to raise three hundred dollars as
Communication fee.
Iapprehend that the reason of our failure
was owing principally to the idea which pre-
vailed with some, that money could not be le-
gally raised for such purpose, but the young
and unsuspecting do not consider how many
ways the devil has to bring about his nefarious
schemes. 1t may appear singular that, in
drafting, the lot fell on sons of several Of the
most wealthy men of that party 1 might
have said the method adopted, was to hire
the money or issue town orders. Without
doubt it will be the latter. 1t viii readily be
understood that these men can pay over the
money for their own sons, and may, possibly,
help poor neighbor in so good cause, and
take town order. for pay. Now, Mr.. Editor,
you know town order, legally executed, is a
tolrn order, whether it he taken to buy off a
Copperhead soldier or TO build a bridge.
Some of the Falmouth yankees are guessing
that town orders viii soon be plenty.

To the Editor of the Press.


We have all noticed the course and progress
of the friends of the rebellion, in their efforts
to obtain in England and with the continental
nations an acknowledgment of their new gov
eminent, founded son slavery as its corner
stone. Not satisfied with an extensive clan
destine trade permitted by England with a
blockaded port, supplying the enemys wants
at home in exchange for their great staple
without which two-iold aid they could not sus-
tain their rebeion-they both permit and as
sist them to build, fit out, and man their war
ships, public and private, in their ports.
Messrs. Roebuck and Holland in Parlia-
ment have also been rendering them all the
aid In their power, by their speeches against
onr rights and our power to enforce the rights
OF government founded on freedom and our
declaration OF independence. But we notice
with much satisfaction that the cause of the
Union has its defenders there, among our own
citizens, as well as theirs. We have read with
much pleasure reply by one of the former,
SAMUEL A. GODDARD, Esq, one of our ship
ping merchants, resident in Birmingham, to
Mr.. Roebuck, In printed pamphlet, and va
rious articles in the Birmingham papers, fear
lessly exposing his falsities, and those of Lord
Holland. Mr.. Goddard deserves the highest
honor for his patriotic, dauntless, persevering
efforts to sustain the cause of his country in a
foreign land, where so much has been done to
give it the character of an enemy's country.
We hope he will continue his labors till the
rebel enemy shall lose all power to practice
his iutrigues; which point we think is not far
in the inture. G.

Sharpsriile, July 23.-We are permitted to
send the following facts, collected from de-
serter Just in from Bragg's army. In the fight
on Morris Island the rebels, sustained a very
heavy loss in killed and wounded, at first re-
ported at five hundred, and then reduced 10
three hundred and fifty. Among the killed
are Brig. Gen. Smoot, Col Langden Cheves,
Col. John Bee and Major Tate The body Of
Col. Bee is in the hands of the Union soldiers,

Charleston.
Great CONSERVATION prevails in Charleston,

the free negroes are being pressed into the
service, and the only hope for Charleston, say
its friends, is by the bayonet.
