Wendell Phillips.

The Albany JournM declares the para
graphs from Wendell Phillipss recent
speech, which we have quoted, to be Gin
famous in sentiment and purpose" and
says we ''hold their author to be mis-
chief-making babbler, who cares less for
the Union than foran applauding audience,
and who is doing more to divide the North
than any Copperhead on the Continent
No doubt he is; but why does the Admin
istration allow him to ventilate his abuse
of the ''powers that be" and of the ''war
policy" determined upon by the constitrl-
tiona authorities, unless it wishes ''to d.
vide the NOrth?" We deny the legal right
Of any military officer to arrest him for
exercising the treeman's privilege Of free
speech; we do not desire to see him made
the victim of arbitrary power; but we
should like to know whether there is one
military edict for those who labor to pre-
serve the government, and another for
those who have preached disunion for more
than two score years? Is Vallandigham
to be eXiled, and Wendell Phillips to be
welcomed to the White House?

From the Milwaukee Sentinel, Tuesday
While Mr. q. 5. Griffin, the enrolling Of
ticer in the First Ward, was yesterday en-
gagged in the business of enrolment, in his
district, he came to the patch of an Irish
man, and stepped to the fence and asked
him some questions in the line of his duty.
The man Intercepted and wanted to
know why he asked. Mr. G. told him he
was the enrolling officer, whereupon the
man raised the spade with which he was
at work and struck him in the face, cut
ting cash in his face an inch and half
long. The woman about the premises
then commenced throwing stones and
sticks, compelling the officer to beat hasty
retreat.
For the benefit of the parties making
the assault, and of Others inclined to do
the same thing, we publish below the
penalty.

shals reads He shall arrest and forwith
