From Bragg,s Front.

The Winchester Bulletin of the 22d inst,
says:
Our piekets are almost within cannon shot
of Murfreesboro', but an engagement with the
enemy seems less probable than it has SEEM
ed for some time. Some say that Bragg will
advance, and some say he wont. The same
as to Rosecrans. In fact, since Rosecrans
the dog issued such stringent orders
in regard to our ladies saying that they
shall not pass from louisville to Nashville, or
to Murfreesboro', Or within the lines OF his
department. this leads some to think he in
tends to commence forward movement, for
the purpose of "pulverizing" the South. AS
he stands now, he certainly is defeated, for
his business Is to advance That's what he
came for-to crush the rebellion. But for
months he has stood behind his Notifications,
while in his front and all over the country
down here the rebellion WAKES more bitter
still
1t is reported to u.s., by a gentleman just
from the enemy's lines, that Rosecrans' force
has been greatly diminished by the sending
of troops to Grant, and that he has no idea Of
advancing. His excuse last winter was-the
roads. Surely the way is open now, and the
roads are good. But he might meet with some
obstacles worse than bad roads and high wa
ter courses. We don't consider fight immi-
nent.

OBITUARY.

Died, near Mt. Airy Depot, Wythe county,
Va, Mrs. SARAH JANE SNAyELr, wife Of Dr..
Aaron Snayely, at her place Of residence, on slse
10Th of April, 1868, after short but painful
illness Of Typhoid fever.
Sadly fell the shades ofdeath
Der the soft black eyes Of Sarah;
Husband and friends knelt In sileEt prayer
To bid o last farewell.
Through the quivering pallid lips there came
The quick drawn dying breath,
Then s'deep grief fell COR scrroNing hearts,
Their darling slept in DEATH
Tearfully theylaid their peerless one
In her narrow home to rest,
With her waxen fingers lightly clasped,
In peace upon her breast.
But one short week had passed away,
When thus our hearts were riven--
A rose too pure and fair for earth.
Was culled to bloom in Heaven.
The drapery fell in graceful folds
Around this form of clay,
For still in the snowy robes Of death
Our cherished Sarah lay.
Lovely was that tender mother,
With her wealth Of rich dark hair
Falling round her marble brow,
Shading the cheek SO fair.
Sad and lohelyis the house,
For hushed the voice SO sweet
That did her friends oft love to greet.
Sad tears now fall Ger tbs grassy mound,
Where Springs soft zephyrs sigh,
Fen though we know spirit bright,
Hath winged its fight on high.

TO the s.Vallandigham Sympathy Meeting"
held in Albany, on Saturday evening last
81 EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
~ M May I6, 1868.
I cannot attend the meeting at the capitol
this evening, but / wish to state my opinion
in regard to the arrest of Mr.. Vallandigham.
It il an act which has brought dishonor up
on our country. 1t is full Of danger to our
persons and our homes. i bears upon its
front conscious violation of Law and justice.
Acting upon the evidence Of detailed inform
.ers, shrinking from the light of day in the
darkness of night, armed men violated the
house of an American citizen, and furtively
took him away to military trial, conducted
without those safeguards known in the pro-
ceedings Of our judicial tribunals. The trans
action involved series of ofenses against
onr most sacred rights. It interfered with
the freedom of speech; it violated our right to
be secure in our homes against unreasonable
searches and seizures; it pronounced sentence
without trial, save one which was a mockery,
which insulted as well as wronged The per-
petrators now seek to impose punishment not
for an offense against law, but for the disre-
gard Of an invalid order, put forth in the utter
disregard Of the principles Of civil liberty.
If this proceeding is approved by the go
yernment, and sanctioned by the people, it is
not merely step towards revolution. it is re-
volution; It will not only lead to military des-
potism-it establishes military despotism. In
this respect it must be accepted, or in this re-
speet rejected. If it is upheld, our liberties
are overthrown. the safety of our persons, Sc
curity Of our property, will hereafter depend
aspon the arbitrary will of such military rulers
as may be placed over rs, while cur constitu-
tisnal guarantees will be broken down. Even
now the Governors and courts Of some of the
great Western States have sunk into insight
fcance before. the despotic powers claimed
end exercised by military men who have been
sent into their borders. It is q fearful thing
10 Increase the danger which overhangs us
by treating the law. the judiciary and the
State authorities with contempt. The people
af this country now wait with deepest anxiety
the decisions of the administration upon these
2cts. Having given it y generous support in
the war, we pause to see what kind Of govern
nent It is for which we are asked to pour out
our blood and our treasures. The action of
the administration will determine in the
minds of more than one half Of the people of
Che layal States, whether this war is waged to
put. down rebellion at the. South, or destroy
free institutions at the North. We look for
its decision with solemn solicitude.
