The Richmond Enquirer tries to shut
file out of the parole at Vicksburg, by
which over thirty thousand rebels were
released to return to their own territory
till exchanged, and pretends to find a pre-
text in the refusal of General Meade to
recognize parole on the battlefield during
the contest The two cases are essential
ly different General Grant paroled the
lpTfsone RS at Vicksburg under a regular
by Pemberton, and the pa
role was accepted by the commanding Of
1fcer. The rebels are in such straits to
supply their immense losses at Vicksburg,
Port Hudson and Gettysburg, that some
such trick as this may yet be resorted to
in order to fill their decimated ranks.
The intention of the Enquirer'S article is
evidently to throw open the door to its
consideration. s "i iA. i''a 81

The Radicals In missouri.

1t is not speaking too harsh!y to say
that the friends Of g liberty and progress"
in Missouri are working for the rebels as
vigorously and efficiently as JEFF. DAVIS
can desire. The St. Louis papers publish
q letter from well known gentleman of
Missouri, who has hitherto identified him
self with the radical party, in which this
easily understood truth is clearly brought
out. This letter is addressed to brother
radical in an adjoining county, and the
writer, after reminding his friend that the
success Of the party, heretofore has been
mainly due to the interference of the mill
tary in their behalf, at the polls, advises
the adoption Of more moderate counsels,

missouri Radicals.

The Anzeiger-a Republican German
paper printed at st. Louis-is disguised
with the ultraism of some of its associates,
and says:
If political progress and the freedom and
welfare of nation could be advanced by
incessant appeals to the passions of men
if the happiness of this State, especially
could be attained by eternally stirring up
party hate and arousing an anarchical spirit,
or by maliciously prosecuting all citizens
who do not confess a certain predetermined
faith; then, indeed. our Radical journals would
be on the right road. Their only endeavor
during the past years, and especially during
the past five months, since their worthy chief
Gen. Curtis, was deservedly removed from his
Office, has been to promote anarchy by aimless
agitation, to throw obstacles in the way of
Government and of the State authorities, and
to embitter the minds of the citizens and By
all these means to prevent the restoration Of

1t is stated by the Cincinnati COM
nsercial and other Ohio journals, that
VALLAND1eHAMh has been strongly urged to
withdraw his name from the Democratic
ticket, but that he refuses to yield and
says he win not withdraw his name unless
a new convention is called and new nomin-
atoms made. tals 'f aol-a
From present appeararcesh he stands no
more chance of being elected Governor of
of Ohio than he does of being called
to the throne of F. ance. The excitement
which attended his illegal arrests, trial
and Punishment has subsidized, and moth
ing is likely to accur which will induce
the conservative masses to contrast him
with the ruins of State government. Fifty
thousand mojority against him is the least
that is expected by any candid observer.

History of the Indian war.

We learn that the Rev E. EeGLEsroN
of this city has been engaged for some
time in collecting materials for full and
complete history of the Indian War, and
that it is probable the work will be put to
press in month or two, and viii be
issued in several numbers, handsomely
illustrated. In the meantime Mr.. EGGLE-

are personally cognizant of interesting
and important facts connected with the

The Militia and the Government.

q r.
Upon no subject is there more misap-
prehension than upon the direct authority
OF the Federal Government to call out
and command the militia of the several
States. There is an impression, and it is
encouraged by demagogues who ought to
know better, that the militia of the sew
eral States can only be called out by State
authority. This is not the law. The
New York World, a bold and fearless
Democratic journal, thus concisely ex-
poses the fallacy of that position. Itsays:
A correspondent, whose letter indicates
more natural intelligence and d:scrimnina-
ton than legal reading, sends us an argu-
mentative communication, in which he
calls in question the statement in a recent
article in the World, that "the President
may order any designated body of militia,
large or small, into the field; he is not
obliged to send his requisition to Gov
ernor, or to ask the consent of q Governor.
He may send his or.lers directly to Gen
eral of division, to Colonel, or to Cap
tan, and in every instance his orders
must be obeyed, at the peril Of punish
ment by cOurt-martial, by officers and
men," a4s va,sg9 arT +aelrreg1. .1f,.
We deem it unnecessary to print the
argument of our correspondent against
the correctness Of this exposition Of the
constitutional power of the President,
for the simple reason that the position
against which he reasons has been affirmed
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, the only expounder Of the consti-
tuition, which can authoritatively settle its
meaning. The constitution means, prac-
tically, what the Supreme Court declares
| it to mean; inasmuch as there is no power
which can reverse the decisions of that
} tribunal except itself The question of the
power of the President over the militia
was raised by the Governors of several of
the New England States during the last
war with Great Britain, those Governors
taking ground very similar to that con-
tended for by our correspondent. The
Supreme Court of Massachusetts, gave an
elaborate opinion on the subject, in which
they denied the cOnstitutionality of the
power claimed for the President. The
/ question afterwards came before the Su-
preme Court of the United States, which
gave that construct on of his powers to
which our correspondent takes exception.
If he will look into the first volume of
Kent's Commentaries, in the chapter en-
titled judicial Constructions of the
Powers of Congress" he will find sue
cinct but, very clear and satisfactory ac-
count of this controversy, and the refer
ences will direct him to the original au-
thorities. We conceive that we render our
correspondent a greater service by thus
putting him on the track of investigation
than we should by, publishing his article.

Life at watering Places.

selves in description of life at watering

ever read, will be interesting, especially
as it relates to watering place life in far

Rebel Hopes in Napoleon.

The Richmond E1dmine,', after demon
strating that the insurgents have nothing
to hope from England, says:
But France is a very different entity. The
French, too, have had their wars But they
have not swallowed the opiate of o national
debt. From time to time France has coolly
repudiated its debt and neither this nor any
other Generation of Frenchmen are deaf to the
voice of ambition. To be popular in France
the ruler for the time must bestir himself, must
enlarge the sphere of French influence. and
treat the people to a dish of carnage now and
then. Napoleon is wise in his generation. He
knows better than the Rios Faineants. Even
if he had not Mexico, it would be reasonable
to look for his finger in the American pie. But
the possession ofMexico appears to render his
interference compulsory whenever it shall be-
come evident that this COnfederacy will cease
to exist withoutit. The news which the reaoer
will find elsewhere in this paper renders the
probabilities to which we have referred dOuby
strong. That news renders certain the only
point in the case which was doubtful
1t was not entirely ascertained whether the
French invasion of Mexico was to create a Eu-
ropean government there. or simply to reduce
the native organization to Order-whether the
French interference was to be permanent or
temporary The movement to declare Maxim
llian of Austria, or some other whom N ipoleOn
shall dictate. the nominal sovereign of Mexico
which the cOnquerors have put Oh foot. settles
that question beyond doubt.
A new throne is about to be erected. whose
occupant shall be the puppet of France that
Idee Napoleonienne which has already been once
embodied in kingdom of Italy aud Victor
Emanuel, is to receive new shape, habtatiOn,
and name, on the American continent But it
will soon turn to airy nothing once more-that
throne will prove an unsteady seat that crown
will be fragile head dress, that sceptre will
break like q reed, on the day when the subju-
cation of the South shall be completed and the
power of the United States restored. To pre-
vent this consummatiOn is now political ne
cessity for the master of France.

How a Christian Soldier was Treat

1t A day or two after, that daring charge

22d, I read in our Dubuque Daily,
"Lieut. S. Bates, Comp |, 2lst Regt.

Many anxious hearts, as well as eur own,
trembled for Samuel. The word missing
seemed to be more terrible than the word
rounded.

seemed as if they were the only two words
in our vocabulary, for we could think of
no more. At length letter was received

May 25th. He wrote: SIN a charge made

Visitors to Lake superior.

The route, ola the. Upper Mississippi
and st. Paul, to the great inland sea of
the continent, is daily growing into favor
with tourists who have the taste to appre-
ciate its wonderful scenery. The appre-
hended difficulties on account of low wa
ter on the Mississippi, and of the journey
overland from St. Paul to the lake, have
prevented many from making the trip this
season. Interested parties in Chicago
and elsewhere, have magnifed these i'm
pediments, until they have succeeded in
diverting considerable travel from this di-
rection. AS to the travelling on the river,
it is only necessary to say that our mail
boats (of much smaller class than usual)
artfs with nearly the same regularity as
in seasons of high water, and that there
is ooqdHcomfort on this portion of
thsftrip That is worth mentioning. From
Saint to Bayfield,, the road is
