THE WAR.

To- several DAYS there have been rumors here
thu, Jeck,op. Mira, tad been evacuated by our
,roops and o,cupied by the enemy. Up TO yester-
d.y evening there bad been no Official confirmation
of the report nor bad the agents OF The Pres Asso-
csiion sent us the intelligence IL anything further
sbaII come. il will appear under the telegruphlc
head.
| With orr present sources OF information we are
Inclined 10 believe that tho report IS true. But We
are not at all prepared to weigh tue sgnihcsnce Of
the act II il be true. An article which Wa copy TO-
day from a Mi.,issipIi paper Will show that the
nos.llity Of "A successful dush upon jackson by the
en,uy h.s been Understood by our people, and the
important, records, &C.. accordingly removed
/ Ii, instead Of u lying party of this sort, Grants
army hid Teen allowed 10 take possesslon as Is said,
with but small rcsis'anc" u may nave been TO Sc
duee him further ewsy from the Mississippi River,
whence he draws his supplies. Bat 1t Is idle 10
speculate ia the absence OF oil data. Nothing re-
mnus but TO hope for the best while waiting for the
news.

We have nothing to report from Fredericksburg
to-day.
yaLLANDIGHAM's ARREST.
Tho effect which Vsllaudgham arrest and sen-
tsnce will produce Oh the popular mad al tue North
IN now "A matter Of conjecture. TIE ". Y. Hsrdid,
we believe. ssys il will insure his election rs Gov
ernor OF OHIO by 80 900 majority. But If the peo-
ple there submit TO bee the candidate abducted.
NO hing remuus but for LiucOln's satrnp TO issue
an order TIM, man shall vote for him, and 10
place musket or two at the polls Besides, who
would want Governor who would have 10 live ut

We suppose that Vallandgham and his friends
will exhaust all the agencies which the Cours Of
law NAV afford to disappoint Lincoln Of HE prey;
and that the pressure of public opinion will be in
yoked az far as practicable These appliances fail
ing and the people submitting o sec Vallandighsm
horne away il 10 idle TO talk about their having any
.pirit left whatever. The trembling Cniuaman pros
tlates bimself not more submssively before the
4" Celestial Sovereign who cats rice with chop
sticks than will they benceior before the maj -stic
Abraham, the joker. They will scarcely pretend TO
be tree any longer.
