VALLANDIGHAM KIDNAPPED,
A Dastardly Outrage
WILL FREEMEN SUBMIT
the HOUR FOR ACTON HAS ARRIVED

Does the Spirit of Freedom Still. Live'

The cowardly, scoundrelly Abolition
lists of this town, have at last succeeded in
having Hon. g. L. VALLANDIoHAM kid
mapped, About 3o'cloek this morning.
when the city was quiet in slumber. one
hundred and nifty soldiers, acting under
orders from General BuRssIDE, arrived
here on special train from Cincinnati,
and like thieves in the night. surrounded
Mr.. VALLANDIaHAM's dwelling, beat down
the doors and dragged him from his fsmi-
ly. The frantic cries of wife. by this
dastardly act almost made maniac; the
piteous tears and pleadings of little child
for the safety of its father were all disre-
garded, as savage would disregard the
cries of helpless infant he was about to
brain. All forms and manner of civil law
were disregarded. Overpowered by one
hundred and fifty soldiers, and with pick
cts thrown out so. as to prevent any alarm
being given to his friends, they tore him
forcibly from his home and family and
marched with all possible speed to a spe-
cial train in waiting. and before it was
known to any of his friends, they were of
like cowardly scoundrels, fearing, as they
had reason to, the vengeance of an outrag-
ed people.
Mr.. VALLAEDIGHAM. nor his friends,
would have offered no resistance to his
arrest by due process of law, He has told
them time and again, that if he was gull
ty of treason under the Constitution, he
was at all times ready TO be tried accord
ing to that instrument. But they have
disregarded all law, and usages of law. in
this arrest, No charges were preferred
be was not told for what crime he was
dragged. in the dead hour of night. from
bis family and his friends. He was sim
ply informed that BURNsIpE had ordered
it. Does Burnside, or any other mar
hold the life and liberty of this people in
his hands? Are we no longer ireemen, but
vassals and serfs Of military despotism
These are questions thatwill nowbe decided
If the spirit Of the men who purchased oul
freedom thro' the fiery ordeal Of the Revolu
ton, still lives in the hearts of the people
as we believe it does, then all will yet be
well, for il will hurl defiance to omilitary
despOtism, and rescue, through hood and
carnage, if it must be, our now endAnger.

of liberty-brave men cannot be enslaved
In our opinion the time is near at hand
much nearer than unthinking men sup.

are to remain free or bare our necks tC

Foreign Opinion OF VaIIandig-
ham.

The Handels6l0d. (Journa of Com
masres. one of the leading newspapers of
Holland, published in Amsterdam, in a
number of March 26th, 1868, expresses
the following opinion of Hon. G, L. VAL
LANbIoHAM;-"One of the greatest poliri-
cal meetings lately assembled in New
York, was recently held at the Demo
cratic Headquarters in that city. Tne
meeting was addressed by Hon. G. L.
VALLASDIGHAM. of Ohio, an never, since
the commencement of the war has man
spoken or expressed his opinions more
freely than did Mr., V. on that occasion.
He is decidedly man for the times-a
man seemingly called upon the stage of ac-
tion by the wisdom of Providence, to res.
cue from military despotism a once
happy country, now struggling for ma.
tional existence with an internal foe; and
advocating principles similar to those
which created a Washington. He clear,
ly understands the political necessities o.
his country, and has the courage to de,
iend the people from an unwarranted usur-
patton of power, by those whom they
elected to execute the laws. He describes
and makes the Indignation of an outraged
people understood, with boldness char.
acteristic Of true patriot, and his senti
ments are not the changeable ideas anC
expressions of an ofiice-seeker, but hi,
language indicates a man who knows
what he says, and has the courage to say
what he knows. He is Democrat, and

RICK HENRY, exclsim, GIVE me liberty
or give me death"
The Kidnapping of Mr.. VALLASDIoHAN
interests every lover of freedom in the
land. 1t was against these illegal ana
arbitrary arrests that the voice OF a nigh
ty people was heard in thundertones at
the fall elections. That voice carried ter.
ror and dismRy to the hearts of the des-
pots at Washington. 1t opened the pris-
on bars of the Bastiles, and gave liberty
to hundreds Of outraged men, who had
been imprisoned merely for opinion
sake. Has that warning lesson been SO
soon forgotten by the despots at Wash
ington, and their satraps and minions
throughout the country? Must they have
a more severe and emphatic lesson taught
them? 1t would seem so. They have
taken the initiative, ard upon them and
their tools in this city and elsewhere
must rest the fearful responsibility of what
follows.
We know the men here who have been
mainly instrumental in having this hel.
lish outrage perpetrated and by the eter
nal, they will yet rue the day they let theil
party malice lead them as accomplices in.
to the scheme of depriving by force as 10y.

rately defined more than century and a half
ago"
This statement is, however, completely set
aside by the very quotation which Mr.. Moves
makes from Bowers old complete system of
geography. in which the lake Zalnbre, or his
source of the Nile, is laid down as extending
from degrees to III degrees south latitude.
Now ali the waters occupyiig that position.
including the lake Tanganyika of Burton and
Speake, are known to flow southwards: the
watershed between north and south Africa in
that meridian having been happily defined
The representation, therefore, of water flow
ing northwards to form the Nile, from the
lake laid down in Bowen's old map, is one of
those errors which actual observation has
swept away 1t is enough to repeat what
stated in my anniversary address (see the
Times of May 26,) that the northern end of
lake Victoria Nyanza extends to about half of
a degree north of the equator. while its south-
ern end. reaching to about three and half
degrees south Latitude nowbere attains rho
northern parallel of the lake of Rowen.

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
The City of Mexico Occupied by the
French.

4
SAN FRANCISCO, June 30-Dates from the
city OF Mexico from the Both of May to the
9th OF June are received. The news is of the
highest Importance.
President Juarez and his cabinet had con-
cluded to evacuate the city OF Mexico, be-
lieving that the most effectual resistance to
the French army could be made outside of the
walls. On the 3lst OF May the government
moved to San Louis de Potosi, taking all the
movable fire arms and munitions of war
along. They also took with them 81, 0OO. 900
from the treasury. The force that garrisoned
the city of Mexico, said to number &c, 900
men, was withdrawn to the Cuernevoca Plaza
and to intermediate points around the city,
for the purpose Of carrying on a guerilla war
fare. On June LIST a meeting was held in the
city, at which the principal leaders of the
church party were present. They sent a
commissiun a Con E,rev IN Announce thnir
allegiance to the emperor Louis Napoleon
On June 9th the French division under Gen.
Bazaine occupied the main entrance to the
city, and afforded the church party protection
against the excited populace. The whole
French army is expected to occupy the capi-
tai on the 9Th of June.
Three newspapers had been established, IA
vOring the policy of the French. One of
these papers states that the occupation of the
city Of Mexico settles with absolute certainty
that ii is necessary to extirpate by the roots
the democratic system, and no longer need
there be even dream of popular sovereignty.
Gen. Forey had issued decree confscating
the property of all parties who have been or
are in arms against the French.
The news is derived from letters received
here from high Mexican officials
