publish this morning the sad evidence of the in
sanity of Mrs. Vallandigham, caused by the
brutal outrage to which herself and Mr.. Vallan-
digham were subjected by the soldiers under the
order of Gen. Burnside. Is it in America that
such outrages like these are inflicted upon the
people with impunity? Shame upon the pcrpe-
traitors Of these outrages, but hundred fold more
shame on those who tolerate their commission"

tens OF thousands of widows aud orphans both in
the North and South, and that without any con-
sttutioual, legal or moral excuse whatever. : Is
it in America that outrages like these are nfc-
ed upon the people with impunity,' and the
President called traitor for trying to stop it %
We may add that several Eastern journals
deny the report concerning Mrs. Vallandigham.

and devotion than these raw recruits He adds
Every man presenting himself to be recruited
