Mr.. VALLANDIGIIAM' STATEMENT. i From
the Richmond Dispatch. \ portion OF Mr..
Vallandigham's address embodies very
strange statement It is to the effect that he
(VaIandi CHAM while in the Confederate
States, did not meet with single person who
was not resolved to perish rather thar yield to
the pressure of arms; but that every person he
conversed with expressed himself willing, if
the Yankees would withdraw their troops to
discuss the terms Of reunion. We do not
know who were the persons with whom Mr. y;
conversed. We are sure we have convcraed
with many more Southerners than he ever did
aud we never heard the first one yet speak OF
reunion. He has certainly made a great mis-
take somehow or other.

The Interest Question

Governor MoRrOS's whereabouts has at last
been ascertained definitely Like LEES army, he
has been enveloped in a fog for eight or ten days
he has not been gObbled up by any Rebel
raiders. for he is exceedingly careful to keep out
OF harms way His Excellency, stated
yesterday, ia ir New York city calculating his
chances for a nomination for the Presidency by
the next Republican Convention, and laying the
pipes to secure that dream Of his ambition. He
has also another object in visiting the CONNER
cial and financial emporium at this time. and
that is to pay the interest on the State debt in
some indirect way. On Saturday he telegraphed
to the State officers as follows: al think it likely
an arrangement can be made to pay
the interest on the State debt and
slve the credit of the State without compromis
ing you or any one under the decision of the Su
preme Court" o. p. NJ is evidently great
fnancier. He spurns the idea of paying the OBJ
legations of the State in the way that the Consti
tuition and the laws prescribe, as being entirely
too common place. He wants to show his genius
in borrowing money to pay debts. when there is
an abundance of funds in the Treasury for the
purpose. ne KNOW OF 10 way OF paying tue
interest on the State debt under the decision
OF the Supreme Court, lawfully, without the
money passing through the Treasury Of the
State, and il can only be drawn from the
Treasury BY appropriations in pursuance Of
law. The duty of His Excelency in the
matter is plain. Let him assemble the
Legislature, and in three days after it convenes
the whole matter IAN be arranged. What is the
use of the Governor trying to whip the Devil
around the stump in the matter of paying the in
terest. when there is a plain and manly way Of
doing itf 1t is the province and duty Of the
representatives, of the people to assess public
revenues and direct the payment of the public
debts. If they fail to their duty in that regard.
the Constitution empowers the Governor to as
semble them whenever the public interests de-
mand il. That exigency has arisen. The credit
of the State is endangered by the Legislature
failing at its last session to make the appropria-
tons necessary to pay her just creditors. if he
calls them together for that purpose, and they
fail to appropriate the funds to pay the debts of
the State, upon them. and not him. will rest the
responsibility. If the Governor wants to pay the
interest on the State debt and 'save the credit of
the State" he knows the way to do it, and the
only way to do il lawfully, is by legislative
appropriation.

The Raid of Htndes.

Gently made a raid in Crawford and Orange
counties. passed themselves off for Union troops.
They stated they were in search of deserters and
exchanged their jaded horses with the farmers for
those in good condition. giving receipt for the
difference in value. and promising to remit the
amount from INDIANAPOLIS on their return. They
wese well dressed and in good condition. Several
deserters were pointed out to them, whom they
arrested. but subsequently released them. and in
that way their true character was discovered.
The "Butternuts," as the Republicans
term the Democracy of Indiana, or
gsnized a company in Orange county
to pursue and capture the Rebels. but the
Republicans Of Paoli begged the company not to
fire upon the guerrillas for fear that they would
return and burn the town. Since this little affair

been some trouble in the enrolment in Fulton
county. Capt. FAkouHAR was sent there with
company of troops. from the list regiment, to
adjust the difficulty. 1t appears that in one
township, Newcastle. there was some dssatisfac-
ton with the manner the enrolment was made,
and tie books and papers of the Commissioner
were destroyed. but the parties who committed
the act fed the county before the arrival of Capt.

zens of the county and were handsomely feasted
and feted, and several dancing parties were got
ten up at the camp during their stay. Capt. Far

from the apprehension that the enrolment was
