of an undOubted kind is, that Gen. Grant and
Admiral Porter have defeated the Rebels at Grand

in killed and wounded, but the .oSs OF position to
the Rebels along with their artillery, is of great
Importance to them, for it opens up TO Gen.

The Court Martial OF Hon. C. l.. VAL
IandIgham-rhe Charge and Speci-
fIcatIOns-The Protest OF Mr. VAT
Iandigham.
On yesterday evening permission was given to
the press, by General Burnside. TO publish the
proceedings had before the military Court martial
on Wednesday and Thursday. in the trial of Hon
G. L.. Vallandigham. The evidence before the
Court was fully reported, but Ms an official record
OF all the proceedings has been requested of. and
granted by, General Burnside. we will postpone
the publication Of the testimony adduced until
after such record has been furnished. which will
probably be in time for our issue to- morrow. We
give, however. the charges and specifications un-
der which Mr.. Vallandigham was arrested and
tried, and his protest as to the proceedings had by
the military authorities. The following is the
charge and specification:
Charge-Publicly expressing, in violation of
General Order No. 80. from Headquarters De-
partment Of the Ohio. his sympathies with those
in arns against the Government of the United
States, declaring disloyal sentiments and opinions,
with the object and purpose of weakening the
power Of the Government in its efforts to suppress
an unlawful rebellion.
Specifcation-In this that the said Clement +.
ValIandigham. a citizen of the State OF Ohio. on
or about the LIST day of May. 1863, at Mt. Yer
ma. Knox county, Ohio, did publicly address a
large meeting Of citizens. and did utter sentiments
in words, or in effect. as follows: declaring the
present war "a wicked, cruel and unnecessary
war; a war not waged for the preservation of the
Union; a war for the purpose of crushing out lib
erty. and erecting a despotIsm; q war for the
freedom Of the blacks and the enslaving Of the
whites" stating that If the Administration had
so wished. the war could have been honorahly
terminated months ago" that peace might have
been honorably obtained by listening 10 the pro-

From the Fort Wayne Sentinel, May A.
Disturbance at fort wayne, Ind.

Inc UNION meeting OF OaturuaY GREW quite
large ~crowd-probably 10 900 to 1000.
During the afternoon. there were several dis
turbances, chiefly arising from the overbearing
spirit shown by the Republicans. famed and ex
cited by the rash language of the speakers. Sew
eral Democrats were roughly handled-in some
instances more than a dozen attacking a single
individual. In the evening, the disturbances
we're renewed. but this time the Democrats think
ing forbearance no longer 4 virtue, made a deter
mined resistance. 4 general melee ensued. and
the result was that the Republican rowdies were
badly worsted; but. we are happy to learn. none
we're seriously injured. The fight was renewed
at the depot. just as the trains were about to
leave, and for a time clubs and brickbats were in
lively requisition.
Such things are TO be regretted. but in this
case il was something of an ''irrepressible con
fict" growing out Of the incendiary teachings Of
the Republican leagues and their orators Boasts
we're openly made by Republicans on the cars,
that they were coming to Fort Wayne to clean
out the Butternuts, and they seerred TO feel
through the day as though Democrats had no
business on our streets. They made the attempt
to carry out their threats. and got well whipped,
as they deserved TO be. We hope they are salts
fed with the result of their undertaking. The
Democrats Of Fort Wayne are a peaceable and
law abiding people, but there Is a limit to their
forbearance, which II is not prudent to pass.
They never seek to create a disturbance; but If
their adversaries will insist oil a fight. they will
generally find that th~y can have enough of il.

The city Election in lafayette.

The strongest ana most closely contested cleo
ton ever Witnessed in our CITY resulted on Tues
day last in The triumphant election Of the entire
Democratic ticket. with the single exception of
Treasurer. Most nobly have the Democracy of
Lafayette vindicated their candidates from the
vile and wicked aSpersionS cast upon them by
tie Republican party and their hirelings. The
Democracy, conscious OF the rectitude of their
motives, and the soundness of their principles
and their candidates, determined not to interfere,
in the least, with the rights and privileges of their
opponents, and equally determined TO maintain
their own nc all hazards, entered the contest
with the full purpose OF success. Most gloriously
have thew achieved it. The result is hailed by
all Constitution and Union men as a bright omen
of the future. The Star City of the West has
added one more brilliant to the crown of her past
achievements She is the banner city of Indiana.
We have no Civilizations to express over her de-
feated opponents. They were good men, but the
majority have declared their preference for the
Democracy. We hope il may be received as a
gentle, yet significant rebuke OF fanaticism, intol-
erance and prescription. 1t will be well to heed
its teachings.-[Argus.
In connection with the foregoing it may not be
amiss to state that the Hon. THOMAS b. WARD,
who was re elected Mayor at the recent charter
election in Lafayette, was on n visit to this city
on SATURDAY last, ana was coruiallv welcomed Dv
his numerous friends. In the evening, as
an appreciation of their personal regard for
him aud in honor of the political victory OF the
gallant Democracy of Lafayette. a humble of the
personal and political friends OF Mayor Ward,
invited him to a supper in the evening. The en-
tertainment was given at Hahn's confectionery
establishment, in News & Talbott's Block. on
Pennsylvania street, and was a verv handsome
affair. Although the supper was private, we may
say that the sentiments expressed upon the occa-
sion were highly patriotic, and specially adapted
to the existing condition of public affairs.

SEEING DoUBLE.-The Republican party have
a method in their madness, and now and then
give evidence that they know how to turn the
weakness of human nature to practical account.
AT our late election, il the municipal ratification
meeting can be called an election, the school
houses in several of the Wards were used for
voting purposes. In one of them, the next NOR
ming disclosed a dozen bottles Of ale in one cor
ner, and the floor and fssks and chairs looked
like the ruins of a doggery that had been
desolated by a drunken row. Evidently
the liquids had soured on the stomach
aid had been heartily rejected. Did the whole
board get into a condition 10 see double and thus
add to the return Surely a board of pious Re.
publicans who would not tolerate the association
OF even one Democrat would not get drunk
merely for the love Of the liquor. There must
have been some pious or patriotic motive, such as
making one ballot count two or three.
