II The Richmond Examiner of the
9th had an ably written article on the state
Of the country, IN which there appears
large vein Of dependency, which is sought
to be dispclled by frantic appeals to south
cru hearts to fight to the bitter end. A
noticeable feature of the article is the com.
pliment it pays to the body of the Demo.
cracy of the North, in repclling the idea
which some southern journals entertained
that any considerable portion Ct that party
in the loyal states sympathized with the re.
bcllion. The Examiner is particularly
severe on peace conventions, and says on
this point:
ITO be plain, we fear and distrust far
more these apparently friendly advances OF
the Democrats than the open atrocity of
pbilanthropists Of Massachusetts,. That
Democratic party always was our worst
enemy; and but for its poisonous embrace
these States would have been free and clear
Of the unnatural Union twenty years ago.
Give US the open focman /:
let him be as ferocious and greedy as YOU
wN. Let our enemy appear as an exter.
ninating Yankee host, We pray, and not as
= Democratic Convention. Let him take
any shape but tina, y

The Case Of Vallandieham. 70
We greatly fear the r0Yei nmenf can iii

Line case Oh y all0n0lGnafns 10.
We greatly fear the government can lily
afford the loss of good will which it neces.
sarily must sustain in the recent arrest and
trial Of G. L. vallandigham, late member
Of Congress from Ohio, who was arrested
by file Of soldiers by order Of Gen. Burn
side, tried BY Court Martial, denied the
privileges Of the writ Of habeas corpus, and
sentenced 10 the Tortugas for two years
which sentence the telegraph says was
changed by the President to imprisonment
in Fl. Warren during the war. ....
In regard to this case we have only this
to say: If Mr.. Vsllandigham has been
guilty Of treason, he has committed the
gravest crime known 10 our laws, and tenn.
porary confint mcnt is no punishment COM
mensurate with the crime; if he has not
been guilty Of treason he has an undoubtcd
right to personal freedom. We have also
to add that civilian, in district of coun.
try not in rebellion, forfeits none Of his
constitutional rights, and can only be ar
rested BY civil proc, SIS, brought before
recognized courts Of justice, tried by a jury
of his peers, etc. Why did q file of soldiers
supcrcede the u S. Marshal in the arrest
why did drum head martial supcrcede
the judiciary in the trial Of civilian who
had never been mustered into the service
Of the U. S.!
We arc no apologist for c. l.. Vallandig.
ham; We are opposed to the matter, spirit,
and tenor Of his speeches; but he has an
undoubtcd right to criticisc the Admins
tration, and find fault with the conduct Of
the war perpctually, If he is disposed, or
can get any one to listen TO him. At the
precise time, however, when he becomes
guilty Of treason, the courts, and no other
power, should deal with him, and deal truly
according to the law and evidence. No
other ground is tenable, and our govern.
ment certainly can have no disposition to
bring on itself collision with the people
which would inevitably follow suspension
Of the functions Of the courts throughout
the loyal states, and the investiturc of the
same upon drum head courts martial.

News and Items. 's ..''
Gen. Curtis has been relieved OF his com.
mand in Missouri, and Gen. Schofield ap-
pointed in his stead
Gen. Lee has audacicusly established his
headquarters in the city Of Fredericksburg.
The general tenor of the New York pa
pers is that Of disappointment and gloom
at the result Of the great battle on the
south bank Of the Rappahannock. Those
who have been the wal NEST in their praises
Of Gen. Hooker, are att,ibuting the failure
of the movement to the alleged in. Efficiency
Of Gen. Stomman, or others Of Hooker's
subordinate corps commanders. 4"-+.
On the 14th inst, fears of cavalry raid
into Washington, were entertained by the
government. To prevent it the planks on
Chain bridge were taken up.
The censorship Of the government over
Geographic messages, instead of being re.
laxed, has been made more stringent. II
seems to US that if the government will not
permit the telegraph 10 convey facts, ii
should, at least, prevent them from convey.
ing falschoods.
The New York Erpress states that las
week Gen. Mcclellan sent request to
President Lincoln that he should either
place hin in active service or axcept his
resignation. We should be happy to see
him again in command Of the army of the
Potomac.
1t is stated that the steamer Cherokee
was recently captured while attempting to
run the blockade at Charleston.
BY the arrival of the steamship Ameri
can, we learn that the Russian army haG
just been defeated by 5000 Circassians
and the Granduke Michael had narrowly
escaped capture.

Alex. H. Stephens, Vice. President of the
rebel government, probably more than any
other man, condemned and fought the
secession movement, until the rush Of mad
fanaticism hurled his own and neighborine
states against the government of the U. S.,
and precipi:atcd the war. 1t is difficult to
conceive stronger argument against the
secession movement than that made by Mr..
Stephens in his famous speech at Milledge-

CoNscElPTloN.-The officers of the gov.
ernmcnt are taking advantage of techni-
cality in the conscription act, and are debat-
ing construction hardly allowable, and
not intended in the act Thus the act
states that any person drafted may on or
before the day fixed for his appearance,
furnish an acceptable substitute, or he
'may' pay to such person as the Secretary
of War may authorize to receive, such sum,
not exceeding $500 as the Secretary may
determine" etc. The officers of the war
department claim that the use Of the word
"lnay" instead Of the word "shall' which
occurs in other sections of the law author.
ICES the Secretary of War to receive the
$500" or not, as he may please. The
probabilities therefore are that when the
CONSUMPTION comes every man drafted will
be compelled to provide substitute or go
himself. Any other arrangement than this,
would result in great haul Of Crcenbacks
instead of conscripts.
