lam citizen Of Ohio, and Of the United States.
l am here By force a:;ainst my will. therefore
surrender myself to yoa as prisoner Of war.
The bearing Of Fallandicham throughout
tie whole afCair Was modest, sensible and dig
1itcd. In a conversation with your cores
pondent, he candidty admitted that tho deal
ings Of the Government with himself we1c
necessary and justi1ablc. II tile Union WAS to
be restored by war, he admitted that in that
case the Government would be obliged to use
Ill the physical force Of the loyal States, and
could tolerate no opposition. This, however,
| he declared would be ut the expense Of the
fite principles Of our Constitutions; whereas
be thought that BY the adoption Of his plan,
not only might his principles BE- conserved
but the union Of States ultimately restored.

refuse to receive him. He Was given to un'
derstand by Gen. Roeecrans that should be
he arrange to return to our lines, the Prcsl
dents orders to carry the original sentence
into effect would be executed.
