Rebels Against the Government. q

In the following conversation between
Mr.. Pugh and Vallandigham, as rclatedby
Mr.. Pugh, in his Columbus speech, and
as he says heard by number of respon-
sble gentlemen, Mr. Valandigham states
lis opinion of those in arms against the
Government in the Southern Sta tes, and
puts the lie to the Abolition press gener-
ally that charge that he would rather go
South than to Fort Warren; that he was
going among his friends, &c. Mr.. Pugh
said that he had sought en- opportunity
on the gunbost to converse with Mr..
Vallandigham, and there put the question
to him-"Has President Lincoln given
you any choice between going to Fort
Warren or south ?" Mr.. Vallandigham
replied; "No but l would rather go to
Fort Warron thnnssnd times than go
South" Mr. Pugh replied, "When you
are gone, the Abolition liars in charge
ofthe telegraph will say you chose to go
south" Mr.. Y. said 81 authorize you
Mr.. Pugh, to say that such is not the
fact? that l prefer going to Fort Warren
than to those who are rebels against the
United States. 1 have given you my
opinion. If you are freeman, you
will follow it, and you are not entitled to
be freeman if you don't"

Soldiers Voting.

The Albany IN. W Argas, after quo
ting the punishment inflicted by Mr.. Lin
coin, as commander-in chief, upon Lieu
tenant Edgery--dismissing him from tho
service-for voting the Democratic tick
ct in New Hampshire, asks the following
pertinent questions '1s it not mock
cry and a cheat to talk about giving tho
soldiers the right Of suffrage, so long as
the President dismsses them in disgrace
if they vote the Democratic ticket? And
will not the soldiers be coerced in their
suffrage, if the officers understand that
they are to be disgraced and punished un-
less they control the votes of their men"'
Very pertinent questions, though very
easily ans wered.

Joe Rowe, who is an incredulous dog,
was listening 20 wonderful story told
by Old Brown in which his daughter Ma
ry bore CONSPICUOUS part. Joe looked
wise and doubtful.
If you don't believe it, you may go
to the house and ask Mary, and take it
from her own lips
Joe took him at his word; the old man
followed on to see tho result, and found
Joe kissing Mary very sweetly.
"What on earth are you about?'
"Oh, taking that awful tough story
from her own lips-but | am satisfied
now"
And so was Mary.

Extract of "a Speech of Hon. &. L.
VnlIandighum.

1--WE ask no revolution, except
through the ballot-box. The conflict to
which we challenge you is not of arms,
but of argument. Do you believe in the
virtue and intelligence of the people? Do
you admit their capacity for-self-govern-
mcnt? Have they not intelligence enough
to understand the right, and virtue
enough to persue it? Come, then,
meet us through the press and with free
speech, and before the assemblages of the
people, and we will argue these questions,
as we and our fathers have done from the
beginning Of the government.
care we right, or you right, we wrong
or you wrong?" And by the judgment Of
the people we will, one and all, abide.
81 have spoken as though the Consti
tuition survived, and was still the supreme
law of the land. But if, indeed, there be
no Constitution any longer, limiting and
restraining the people in power, then
there is none binding upon the States
or people. God forbid. We have a
Constitution yet, aud laws yet. To
them 1 appeal Give us our rights give
us known and fixed laws give us judi
ciary arrest US only upon due process of
law give us pvesentiment or indictment
by grand juries ; speedy and public trial; (;
trial by jury, and at home tell us the
nature and cause of the accusation con-
front us with witnesses in our behalf, and
the assistance of counsel for our defence
secure us in our persons, our homes, our
papers and our effects leave us arms,
not for resistance to law or against right
full authority, but to defend ourselves
from outrage and violence, give free
speech and free press, the right peacea-
bly, to assemble and above all, free and
undsturbed elections and the ballot
take our IONS, take our money, our prop
perty, take all else, and we will wait a

Who arc the Friends OF the Sol
dicrs

At the late Democratic Mass Conven-
tion in Springfield, Illinois, the sum of
$47, 900 was raised for the benefit Of the
families of Illinois volunteers. On the
same day Republican Convention met
at Columbus. Ohio. That body did n OF
raise dollar, but passed in lieu the fol-
lowing resolutions;
"Resolpsd, That immortal honor and
gratitude are due to our brave and patri-
otc soldiers in the field, and everlasting
shame and disgrace to any citizen or par
ty who withholds it; that, sympathizing
with the army in its hardships. and proud
of its gallantry, the lovers Of this Union
will stand by it, and will remember, aid
and support those who are disabled, and
the families of those who fall lighting for
their country"
Which do the soldiers think are their
best friends-those who contribute to the
support of their families, or those who
merely promise to do so?

The Issue squareIy Made.

The President. in his letter to Mr.. Cor
ming, justi6es the arbitrary arrests OF
which the people complain. The Repub-
lican papers approve and sustain the Pres
ident's position. The issue is squarely
and fairly made. The Administration
and the Republican Loyal Leagues deny
the right of the people to discuss the acts
of officers and express their disapproval,
The Democrats and Conservatives uphold
and maintain this right. Let the people
decide.

broke into his office, few nights since,
that he is heartily ashamed for any de-

He says if the fellow will just send him

The Negro In the War.

There is proposition before Congress to
authorize the raising Of $50, 900 negro soldiers
ct the South. Better make the number half .
million and include the North. The govern
ment may not get q hundred and fifty thous-
and, or even hundred thousand, out Of the
three millions who are declared free. but f.
should have the liberty to enrol all it can get.
because the prospect is that it will need them
all, and that if the war is to be prosecuted
two years longer the negroes must be relied
upon for q large share of the fighting. Con-
press need not hesitate on account of any pop
ular prejudice, against negro soldiers. It is
much less than they think; indeed the people
are generally willing the government should
make the best use it can Of the negroes. And
it might have done 50 from the start. if in>
s.sad Of paltering and arguing, and Brighten
ing itself at its own shadow, it had adopted
Gen. Buffers contrabsnd doctrine, and acted
upo. it. There would then have been no need
Of doubtful PRESENTATIONS, and no division q
.he North on thai question. Bnf What is past
cannot now be amended. Having adopted q
policy at last, the government must push it

DRY GOODS.

There 10 . great exciterent and activity in
the market for domestics, and prices of all cot
ton fabrics have again advanced; yet they have
not risen in foil proportion to the greater rise in
the raw material The prospects therefore are
worse for the consumer. The near approach Of
the.spring trade bas compelled dealers to lay in
. stock, which they deferred doing % long 90
they could, and now they find the market bafe.
Quality is now being sacrificed to price, even at
the expense Of durability. Prints have ad-
vapced cents, and are very active, with de-
fcient supply Spring goods are in market A
varied assortment of lawns is now Offering
There is speculative demand for cottonades,
which is considered q cheap substitute for cas-
simeres. Denims are in active demand at high.
er prices, with fair supply. sheetings and
shirtings are very scarce The stock is reduced,
and few new goods are being made. The recent
sales have been very large, at considerable ad-
vance in price. Low and medium grades are
most eagerly sought for. The movement in
wooden goods is very active; q speculative de-
mand prevails. Spring styles of fancy cash.
meres have been bought up, and orders given
for new supplies in advance of production. Silk
mixtures are much wanted. satinets are very
active. The market is being flooded with poor
and fimsy goods, which will bear little wear
The higher grades are steady. Delsines are in
coed supply, and have not advanced Doeskins
and cloths are selling at considerable advance.
Foreign goods share in the general bue5ancy Of
prices. The importers are not offering their
goods yet. Low priced black silks are eagerly
taken. Black cloths also sell we'll under quick
demand. Ribbons keep advancing, but holders
are slow to SELL. Importations are moderate,
and the high prices asked for all desirable goods
readily given. The high price of gold adds to
the high prices of wool and cotton considerably;
and as foreign exchange goes up, so must foreign
goods; but domestic goods 60 up from the same
causes, and in an equal degree.-[Independent.

whatever to complain Of extraordinary embar-
easements or suffering. There have been
none. Men have lost their property in conse.
quence of the rebellion. So did thousands and
tens Of thousands in the crisis Of 81 and OF
'37, when We were at peace. No extraordinary
disturbance in our political affairs can ever
take place without more or less pecuniary loss
in all business circles. That'is inevitable.
We have nobody to blame, now, but our
selves, for our present troubles We have
yielded, compromised, and sold ourselves to
the South for the sake of trade, and now they
tell M. what Ne ought to have known before,
that we are despised for such conduct. All
they ask is that We should continue TO yield to
them-eontinss toilet them dictate, rule, govern
us, when al would be peace again. That "
what they want, and what they are fighting
for. They don't believe in democratic institu:
lions. They don't believe that the majority
should govern. That is it, in plain English.
The North phsye demonstrated to the world
that there isemoney enough and men enough
to crush the rebellion. All that is necessary
is to have more union, more determination,
more Napoleonio courage.
One word to Major Generals: attention the
whole! We must have pieto-ies now in order
to open money vaults. Wemust have victories
in order to reinspire our capitalists. We must
have victories to give the Government. credit
with the people, adequate to the emergency.
We must have victories, if We would save this
God favored nation from the hsnl Of an infer
nal conspirator, and from financial destruction.
