Important Decision.

The Supreme Court of New York at its
general term, has just decided that Treas
ury Notes are not legal tender. Ingraham,
Sutherland and Peckham, are the judges,
and their decision was unanimous. Judge
Ingraham does not exactly decide that all
Treasury Notes are not legal tender,-but
that, in this case, under contract, previ-
Gus to the passage of the Treasury Note
Legal Act by Congress, they were not,
therefore, legal tender. Judges Suther-
land and Peckham, concur in opinion, that
this Act of Congress violates the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
The decision is opposed to that of the
general term of the Court for the Seventh
District, and the matter will go to the
Court of Appeals for final adjudication.
The decision, if unreversed, will compel
all debtors to provide specie for "legal

The StOrminS Of Vfcksburg.

The Vicksburg correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette gives the following des-
cription of the situation of Vicksburg in
the rear, and the unsuccessful attempt to
carry the works by storm on the 22d ult.
The bugles sound the charge precisely at
ten o'clock, as if by the touch of magic the
hitherto concealed forms of ten thousands of
brave determined men appear before the as
tOnished gaze of the entrenched foe. and rush
forward with impetuous speed-a terribly
splendid sight. ~et
A Gordon of fire blazed from countless mus
kets around the rebel lines, forest of brist!ing
bayOnets swayed and flashed in the sunshine,
and hedged in the foe like an memorable fate.
Shout after shout went up as our columns
pressed on with such apparent success; out
alas our Joy was brief The enemy, well cal
culating his strength and skillful in his use OF
it, awaited the first volley before he replied.
The rebels arose from their pits ana en-
trenchments in thousands, and poured STEADY
and deliberate fire into the breasts OF our ad-
vancing columns. They hurled hand grenades
by the score into our ranks and poured grape,
canister, and shrapnel upon us from batteries
hitherto concealed from sight by the tremen-
dous brush and underground, when entangled
the feet of our brave lads, and caused
many of them to fail an easy prey to
the deadly sharpshOoter. In many in
stances regiments we're within f1fty yards
of the rebel works, but the ground was
so deep that It required longer to climb up than
to "double quick" ten times the distance. Such

No Need Of Secrecy.

The maintenance of the Union is too
good cause to require support from the
contrivances of conspirators. Therefore,
secret, oath-bound associations, with view
to promote it, ought to be discountenanced.
Men who wish to destroy the Union may
fifty enough resort to them. Such language
is of the more Importance now, since there
can be no doubt that those who met to-
gether at Cleveland the other day as Union
leaguers, agitated the proposition to form
secret societies. This proposition is very
properly denounced by the Cleveland
Herald, a well-known Republican paper of
that city. 1t says:
From indubitable evidence the fact is ascer-
tanned that there do exist what is termed secret
Union Leagues. Certain political views, but
more particularly preference, for certain indi-
vidual members Of the party, determine, in the
main, membership, and it is plainly evident
that through secret societies the attempt is ma
king to shape the course of the Union party
hereabouts control the nominations, and thus
accomplish the selfish purpose the same indi-
viduals hoped to attain by the disarmament of
the Union party.
Why should three be secret Union Leagues /?
Why should the restoration OF the Union be
confined to the exclusive few? Are the offices
made for certain individuals? Is intelligence
SO wanting in our people that political affairs
must be directed by a secret conclave? Such
leagues can have but one aim it can have but
one result, and men who wish to deal above
bOard-like honest citizens-men who scorn to
be tails to the demagogue's kite, men who are
unwilling to be cats paws for political aspi-
rants, should shun political lodges as they
would things that cannot bear the light of day.
Secret, midnight, political clubs have no sym
pathy among the people; they are in the in
terest of the few as against the many, and we
call upon the loyal masses of this section of the
State, to heed our warning, apply the corrective
and nip the evil in the bud; else when too late
to help themselves, they will find their nomina-
ting conventions to be but mere formal gath
crings to give shape and comeliness to the
edicts of secret, midnight political leagues.

Arrest Of the Governor and an Ex-
Governor OF Louisiana.

From the following it would appear that
THOMAS o. MOORE, the present (rebeD
Governor of Louisiana, and ALEXANDER
MoUToN, a former Governor of the same
state, were both arrested some weeks ago,
by the Provost Marshal of Plaquemine
Parish. The first is from a New Orleans
letter in the New York Herald, and the
second is from New Orleans letter in the
New York Times:
Ex-Gov Mouton was taken into custody at
his home near Vervlltonville, on May I'd, by
Capt. Silvey, of the One Hundred and Thirty
third New York, Provost Marshal of Plaque
mine Parish. Twenty men from the Rhode
Island Cavalry under Captain Hooker, made
the arrest which was effected without trouole.
The Ex-Governor, with the single servant, who
was permitted to accompany him, is now in the
custody of Capt. Kelton, Provost Marshal of
New Orleans. =
Gov. Moore of Louisiana, was arrested some
weeks since by the Provost marshal of Plaque
mine Parish, Louisiana, and taken to New Or
leans, where he remains in military custody.
The Era says:
The capture of Thomas c. Moore, the itin-
Alexander Mouton, is probably the most inn
portant that could have been made. He has
been most conspicuous counsellor of treason
for q number of years, and it is just and proper
that he and the men of his stamp, should be
held to strict accountability for the evils they
have contributed to bring on this city, this
State and this country

* A crowd from the backalleys, con-
sisted of about $50 Paddles, from the neigh
boring shanties, and about twenty or thirty
Republicans and War Democrats attracted, in
passing by the novelty of seeing professedly
loyal and respectable man like Col. Robertson
addressing crowd of loafers and vagabonds,
and curious to see what it was all about.
A dog-fght in the same locality would have
called out gathering quite as respectable in
numbers or character, and composed of about
the same elements.
The st. Paul Press has the above in re-
gard to the meeting held in this city last
week, in favor Of the liberty of the press
We can only characterize such language
as satanic, and utterly unworthy res
pectahle journalist. The meeting was at
tended by many laboring people of all the
nationalities represented here, who
did not take the trouble to "dress
for the occasion, and are there
fore stigmatized as paddles by
the very respectfully dressed editor of the
Press. Even if a majority of those pres
ent were Irish, which was not the case, it
is rich idea for British provincial,
Nova-Scotian, "blue-nose, "who has not
yet taken the trouble to get naturalized,
to call them all "Paddies. - The State of
Minnesota has been happily exempt,
since the war commenced, from the tu-
mults which have rendered life and pro-
perty insecure in less favored communities,
but no thanks are due to the Press for this
domestic tranquility, for it has been en-
gagged in constant efforts to foment civil
strife. The Chicago Tribune has been
its exemplar. That journal sees nothing
but " copperheads and "traitors " in the
Democrats and conservative Republicans
of Illinois, and of course the Press man
is continually haunted by copperheads +"
in Minnesota, although there are not as
as many in the State as he could count on
his fingers. But failing to stir up strife
on the "copperhead question, he has
fairly run mad on Paddles" and must
have then exterminated, no matter what
becomes of the copperheads He hailed
the arrival of the contrabands - as their
executioners, but somehow Or other the
"Paddies " still live, and are more te-
nacious of existence than even "copper"
heads" Won't somebody kill somebody
just to oblige the editor of the Press?

Assaults on Port Hudson.

Next to Vioksburg, the most interesting
scene of war at present is about Port Hud-
son. which was assaulted by Gen. BANKS
on the 9th and 2Sth ult. Some of the
rebel works were carried by storm, and
substantial successes gained, but at last
accounts the place had not been taken.
Gen. SHERMAN (of battery fame) was
severely wounded, and had arrived at New
Orleans. The place is one of great strength,
and may possibly hold out for some time.
The Southern people in the vicinity call it
their Gibraltar, and profess to believe it to
be impregnable. 1t is at point where
bend forms almost a right angle, thus COM
pletely commanding the river both ways.
On the north, for distance of eight miles,
it is protected by an impossible swamp,
which is bounced on the side nearest Port
Hudson by Thompson's Greek, the hither
bank of which is a precipitous bluff,
crowned by an entrenched abattis. This
abattis extends from the river eastward,
till it joins series of entertainments nine
or ten miles in extent, sweeping to the
south in semi-circle till they rest upon
the river on the crest of a range of high
hills. The country in the rear is rolling,
and possesses many natural advantages in
favor of the enemy. Between Baton Rouge
and Port Hudson is long stretch of terri
tory difficult of access at all times, being
covered by dense woods and underground,
and Astounding in bayous and marshes.
The land defences were chiefly built af-
ter the advance of the Federal forces to
Baton Rouge. They mount in all some
thirty or forty guns, some of them of hea-
Wy calibre, and in addition to these there
are at least four field batteries which can
be readily moved to any part of the works.
The position seems to be entirely inclosed
in series of Notifications of the most Ella
borate and formidable character.

Letter from Governor Parker of New
.s Jersey.

A great gathering was had at New Jer-
sey on Saturday, June 30th. at the call of
the General Democratic Association of that
city, to express the sentiments of Jersey
freemen, in defence of constitutional lib
erty, as assailed by the proceedings in the
cases of Mr.. VALLAND1GHAM an others.
The following letter was received from the
Governor of the State:
,. FREEHOLD, N. j., May 20.
GENTLEMEN Official engagements will
not permit me to be at Newark to-mor-
row. t.a
NV views upon the subject of arbitrary
and illegal arrests have heretofore been
fully and emphatically expressed. Sub
sequent events have confirmed and
strengthened them.
The recent arrest of a citizen of Ohio by
military authority, and his trial and SEN
tence by military court, were arbitrary
and illegal acts. The whole proceeding
was wrong in principle and dangerous in
Its tendency. III rL."
The question is not whether the senti-
ments expressed by Mr.. Vallandigham in
reference to the war and its prosecution
were right or wrong, or whether by the
expression of those sentiments he became
amenable to the law. The great question
is, whether the tribunal that assumed to
arraign him and dispose of his personal
