Sentence of val1andieham.

The Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham has
been sentenced by the Military Commission
which tried him at Cincinnati, to close con-
fnemeut at Fort Warren, Boston Harbor;
during the war.
Judge Leavitt, the Federal District Judge
for Ohio, denied the application for a writ
of Habsas Corpus in behalf of Vallandigham;
and his opinion in the case is published at
length. The substance of it is, that while
the arrest was not in accordance with the
constitution and laws, yet it was justifable
under the plea of military necessity, of
which the President alone was to judge, and
that the President could delegate his dis
erection 10 any subordinate! And he clinch-
ed his decision by saying that even if he
granted The writ it would not be obeyed!

TIE WAR NEWS.

Tbs operations ofthe last week have been
chiefly in the Southwest; Grants move

burg, being the most important. The reports
of his actions have been SO contradictory,
not what to say as our own opinion, and
therefore. we offer none Of our own. leaving
the reader to form one for himself if he can.
One day it was reported that Grant fought
Bowen a whole day at Clinton, ten miles
west of jackson, beat him and drove him
towards that city, but hearing of reinforce
ments coming to Bowers relief, he retired
to the Mississippi, to await his own reen-
forcements. Another it was reported that
his battle with Bowen was not at Clinton,
but near Port Gibson (perhaps 40 miles dis
tantC Then came a report that Grant was
still at Grand Gulf but that the rebels were
evacuating Port Gibson; ard now the latest
we. have is, that Jackson has been captured
and the State House burned. What the
truth is, let any one find out or guess out
who can.
It is reported that all the railroads of
Mississippi have been cut by the Federals.
destroying the rebel communications and
shutting off their supplies, and that Port
Hudson is virtually, if not actually evacu-
ated in consequence.
Banks has taken possession of Alexandra
on the Red river, Louisiana, thus cutting off
rebel supplies of beef, &C., from Texas, the
report of his having been whipped by Kirby
Smith being a cdnard.
Nothing direct from Rosecrans and Bragg,
except report that the latter has moved
his headquarters to Shelbyville, which sif
true was meeting the former half way.
1t is reported that Gen. Buckner has been
ordered into East Tennessee with 20 900
men, but this is denied by another report
If true, the supposition is, that it is intend
ed as demonstration on Kentucky to &C.
cupy Burnside and prevent him sending re-
endorsements to Rosecrans. Another rumor
is, that Breckenridge Is to enter Kentucky
by another route while Buckner comes by
Cumberland Gap, but we do not put faith
in either report.
Hooker is still lying quiet on the Kappa
hammock.
Some slight operations are reported at
Suffolk and Charleston, but nothing decl-
sive.
For the rest, we refer to the dispatches
and clippings which the reader will find in
our other columns.
- P. S. There is a rumor in the city, that
the Confederates have evacuated Vicksburg
and that Gen. Grant now occupies 1t.

FThe Superior Court of Cincinnati has
Just decided United States Treasury notes a
legal tender on notes and mortgages. The
mortgage holder refused to receive payment
of a note and release the mortgage, on the
ground that gold and silver only were le-
gal tender, and Treasury notes were not
money. The court decided that the tender
was good-the Treasury-note law constitu-
tionaI, and ordered the surrender of the
note and mortgage. A similar decision has
been made by the Supreme Court of New

ARBITRARY ARRESTS. We are inform ed,
on what we believe to be good authority
that Mr.. Seward remarked to gentleman
of prominence of this city, while in Wash
ington not long since, that "the government
would be under the necessity of resorting to
arbitrary arrests or give up the war" The
gentleman replied, "Well, Mr.. Seward, then
you will have to give up the war, for you
cannot make arg more arbitrary arrests IN tie
State of Ne,o York." Mr.. Seward made no
reply but looked wise. What a confession!
An administration openly declaring that its
policy is so repugnant to the people that if
tolerates free press and free discussion, the
war will become so unpopular that they will
be forced to abandon it.-N. Y. Caucasian.

WASHINGTON RUMoRs. Before General
Hooker started across the Rappahannock,
he telegraphed to the War Department tina
he had mo further acquisitions to make
and that he expected no further orders" 1t
is also stated that General Hooker was au-
thorized by the President to report directly
to him as COMMUNICATIVE ief and not to
General Halleck as General-in-chief, or to
the War office. Hence, when he was tor
mented by General Halleck's frequent dis
patches, he replied to one. reading. ''W hat
are you doing? l ask again'-Hall eek j"
thus: 81 am minding my business! Can
not you mind yours?-Hooker." And to
another of like purport he answered: Cant
you let me alone?" 1t is said, also, that all
knowledge of the movem ent of the Army
of the Potomac was withheld from the
Cabinet When Father Abraham was ques-
toned in Cabinet Council, by one who
wanted to know what was going on, he
said: "There are only two men in the
United States who can tell. One in General
Hooker; he is not here to answer, and the
other man prefers to say nothing"-Cincin'

The NEws.-A Washington letter to the

tain that our killed and wounded in the re-
cent battle on the Rappshannock will ex-
coed $4,000. Information received from

ers is that the number of the men captured
by the rebels will exceed 1850. There Is
no Indication of an early moyem ent, and as
leaves of absence and freely granted to Old
GERS tits surmised that the army of the Rap
pahaunock has again come to dead lock.
The people remember that the order re-
lieving Burnside of his command stated that
it was done at his own request, and that that
General testified before the investigating
committee that it was not true, and that he
had protested against the statement, but was
induced to permit it to go to the country by
the persuasions of the Secretary of War and
the President. They also know that the
telegraph is subjected to rigid censorship,
and that nothing can be sent over the wires
without the appreciation of Government
agent. And reasoning from these premises
they strongly suspect that the administra-
ton countenanced the statement that Hook
er had already naugurated another move
ment and was across the Rappahannock, and
that the extent of our losses has been pur-
posely concealed. That this action is based
upon the principle that if bad news is told
at all, it must be broken gradually. When
SO little confidence is placed in the endur-
ance and patrio tism of the people, it will
not be remarkable circumstance if they in
turn cease to place confidence in those who
thus treat them.
