the confidence of the European masses in
the future of our country, and of the sta

in which it was so evidently the purpose of a
government to ruin q political enemy and to
terrify party, by showing that no personal
eminence and no caution in keeping within
constitutional bounds can avail any one who
presumes to oppose the plans of those in
power.
In short, any one who reads the trial must
admit that Mr.. Vallandigham, whether right
or wrong, only used such legitimate strong
language as has been used by Anglo-Saxon
politicians on both sides of the ocean at any
time TOR century past. To call such speech
seditlous and comfort to the enemy, is to say
that under no circumstances is q national war
to be opposed at all. The chiefs of the Wing
party, sixty years ago, and the Peace Society,
during the Russian War, might have been
seized and transported with just as much JUS
tice as Mr. vallandigham.
We do not think that, in the days of Eng
lands fiercest struggle with the French Repub-
lie, the Government of Pitt would have ven
tured on such an act as the trial by court-mar
tial of private person for making speech
against the war, and recommending his hear
ers to agitate cOnstitutionally for the overthrow
of the ministry. Yet it was for an Offense pre-
csely similar that Mr.. Vallandigham, one of
the most prominent politicians of the West.
has been sentenced to two years Punishment to
miserable islet, a sentence graciously commu-
ted by the President into expulsion from his
home and from the limits of the Northern
States.
The Times closes with the remark that
" a Government with such power ought to
do something great, yet it appears every
day more plain that the Cabinet at WASH
ington is formidable only to its own help
less citizens"

Gen. Thomas w. Sherman.

General SHERMAN, when the steamer
Mississippi left New Orleans, on the 10th,
was reported to be more comfortable
There had been a consultation over his
case, with regard to the amputation ofhis
limb and the surgeons of the French and
English gunboats in the river were called
in for their advice The authorities also
asked the advice and attendance of one of
the oldest physicians and surgeons in New
Orleans, whose reputation as a skillful and
successful practitioner is almost world
wide. But he is registered enemy"
He therefore respectfully declined to as
sist, but, upon second thought, said, 81
will make this compromise with you'll
will gladly attend any one of your gen.
erals, and do all I can for them provided
you will also allow me to visit the wound
ed Confederates who may fall into your
hands" This concession was granted, and
since then the attendance of the surgeon
has been unremitting, and it is said hopes
are now entertained of saving Gen. SHER-
MANS life.

"Here is young lady who has come

AT the mere announcement every face

AS the thrilling notes of that song rang
through the apartment. one poor man, who

We learn that dispatch has been sent from
Philadelphia to the New York Herald Office,
to-day, containing most astounding state
ment, which, If true, would show that the back
bone of the rebellion was really broken, and
ibs spinal cord of the Davis treason sundered.
This extraordinary information is in sub
stance, that an iusurrection has broken out in
the rebel capital, that the Union prisoners ~cre
all released BY The mob, H,ot orr soldiers aud tn
redctio',is;s garrison the fortifedtior.s Of Rich
mo,,d, and in fact that the city of Richmond is
in Union hands!
In addition to this, the dispatch states that
Gen. Foster is marching on Petersburg from
North Carolina.
This news is alleged to have been brought to
Philadelphia by steamer.
Parties just arrived from Fortress Nc II.

steamer could have carried such information 10
