GEN. LOGAN ON vALLANDIGHAM,
BY SAMUEL >. ROW

On our first page to day, will be found a
brief speech made by Gen. John A. Logan,
we'll known Illinois Democrat, at Cairo a few
days since, In which he gives his opinion of
Vallandigham and the copperhead tribe gen.
orally. Gen. Logan, twill be remembered,
was strong ly opposed to coercion. After the
attack upon Sumter, and when there was a
hope that the difficulties might be settled by
compromise he went to Richmond to talk to
the leading politicians there on the subject.
He was told that if the Administration would
give them sheet of white paper, and allow
them to make their own terms they would not
accept the offer short of dissolution of the u
MON. Logan then made up his mind that the
Union could only be saved by war he aban-
doned his anti coercion ideas, came home and
girded on the sword. He has since been serv
ing his country in the army. The speech is
worthy a careful perusal by all men who have
the Interests of their country at heart

KENTUCKY ALL RIGHT.

The State of Kentucky has pronounced her
verdict in tones so emphatic as to be unmista-
kable, on the war and its concomitant issues.
Copperhead journals all over the North were
fond of classifying the Union candidates in
Kentucky as Republicans, and the rebel and
copperhead candidates Democrats. But
Union Republican, they have swept the
field, and the leagued minions of rebellion are
scattered to the four winds. Bramlette, the
Union candidate, is elected Governor by
twenty thousand majority, in a State which
scorns to follow in the wake of the New York
copperheads. In the Ashland district Mr..
Crittenden is succeeded by Brutus j. Clay.
We presume that in all the other districts,
except that south of the Cumberland river,
which has been occupied by the rebel army,
the result must be similar.

CHICKENS COME HOME.

Mr. q. L. Vallandigbam, Chairman of
the Committee on Resolves at Democratic
meeting at Dayton, Ohio, Dec. 10, l847 re-
ported as follows:
Resolved, That whatever opinions might
have been entertained of the origin, necessity
or justice by the Tories of the Revolutionary
Wal, by the Federalists of the late war with En-
gland, or by the Wings and Abolitionsts, of
the present war with Mexico, the fact of their
oountry's being engaged in such war ought to
have been sufficient for them, and to have
precluded debate on that subject till sue
cessful termination of the war and that in
the mean time, the patriot could have expert
enced no difficulty in recognizing his place
on the side of his country, aud could never
have been induced to yield either physical or
moral 'said to the enemy

THE DRAFT IN COURT.

The copperheads do not appear TO have
been killed off by the defeat of their friends
at picksburg, Gettysburg and Port HUDSON.
On Friday week, bill in equity was filed
in the Supreme Court, with view to test the
constitutionality of the conscription act. The
complainant. in the present case, has not re-
ceived not ice of his being drafted but anoth-
er bill is being drawn, in which the complain
ant has received the required notice. The
present bill is filed by VIM. Francis Nichols,
a citizen of the United States and of the State
of Pennsy lvania and residing in the Third
Ward of the city of Philadelphia, of the age
of 25, as well as for other citizens of Peunsyl
vania who may become parties hereto, against
William E.. Lehman N. H. Marselis, Chas.
Murphy and Ebenezer Scanlan.
The bill complains that the 'srights" OF the
plaintiff are being infringed under the opera
tioh oil the conscripiion law, and it is ingeni-
ously drawn up so as to damage the govern
ment and cripple the army as much as posi-
BILE. Messrs. Charles Ingersoll, George NJ.
Wharton, and Geo. w. BiddIe appear for the
plaintiff. No time has been fixed for the ar
gument.
The decision of the Court will avail moth
ing in legal point of view, although it may
have considerable moral weight. Chief JUS
tice Taney, with the entire Supreme Court of
the United States to back him. decided in the
case of Booth, in Wisconsin. that decisions of
State Courts are null and void when they
come in conflict with the United States. The
case of Mr.. Nichols will consequently amount
to nothing so far as the constitutions lity
of the law was concerned, and the only OBJ
ject in raising the issue seems 10 be desire
TO embarrass the Government and create dis
satisfaction.

GEN. FREMONT IN MISSOURI.

The following passage concerning Gen.
Fremont's campaign in Missouri is from the
Rebel Col. Estvau's WAR Pictures from the
South" recently published in Richmond
"Meantime Generals Sige, and Fremont
concentrated their troops at Springfield. with
the intention of fputting an end to the war in
Missouri. Sigel having proceeded thence
with the advance guard to Wilson's Greek,
General Price ordered our troops to rrtire on
the appearance of the enemy but whilst a
bout to carry out this order our rear was at
tacKed by FremoUt's body guard, under the
command OF Major Zagony, formerly in the
Hungarian service, doing good deal of
damage, and compelling us to accelerate our
retreat. On reaching Pineville General Price
made arrangements to await General Fremon s
attack, and then to leave Missouri without
once more trying the chances ofa battle. He
we'll knew how to inspire his men with conf
dence in his plans. And now that General
Fremont had caught us, as it were, in net,
what saved us {? battle ? No the Govern
ment at Washington at this juncture depri-
we'd Fremont of his command. This caused
a complete change in the enemy's plans, and
| allowed onr General full scope to alter the
position. The Federal army as now COMPEL,
ed to beat retreat abandoning the rich
district of Springfield to Gen. Price. The
latter at once took possession of it and set
tied himself down comfortably for a time in
| the position abandoned by the enemy -

Pittsburg on Wednesday August 5th, and pub

Gov. Curtin has been renominated, ,as the can
didate of the Union party for Governor of

13l on the first ballot, which plainly indicates
the high estimation IN which he is held

THE EFFECT OF THE EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION

The following is extract from letter
received by Georgian. now resident of
Boston, from fellow Georgian, resident of
New York
ssNEw YORK. July %, 1868.
ssThe exodus from the South, you once pre-
dicted, has fairly set in. Every day almost
some new face drops in. They generally
come from the upper part of Georgia, and
seem glad To get here. | know of six gentle
men who here from place. One of
them says the Emancipation Proclamation Of
Mr.. Lincoln struck JEFF. Davis the hardest
blow be has received. He says it has caused
a large reduction in the Southern army by
deserton, more SO than the people of the
North have any idea OF. He says the poor
white people are dete rmned TO fight for the
negroes no longer. They have no interest in
them, and look upon the war as one brought on
by demagogues and Shareholders, TO ride over
the rights of the poor white people. He says he
has heard repeatedly the soldiers say openly,
they would not any longer fight for the id
niggers and masters. The upper part OF Geor
gia has but few slaves, anyhow, and I sup
pose the people there think more of their own
comfort, and less OF the rights of slave-own-
ers, than in the low country. | was surprised
however, to hear from~his old resident, and
one who is a close observer ofsevents that the
| proclamation tended to divide the people o
/ the South rather than unite them. The effect
| doubtless was different on the seaboard, &C
| cording to information from competent
| judges there, but Cherokee Georgia, like Ten
| nessee, has always been for the Union, and
! now grows more and more so, they suffer
! from J eff. Davis despotism. This is the cheer
ing sign. The pound sterling was worth s45
