Special Dispatch to4the Chicago Times.


Murtreesboro, Tenn, May 30-The
Chattanooga Rebel, in al editorial on the
18th, expresses Indignation at Lincoln's
attempt 10 make the Southern Oontedera-
cy The Botany Bay OF the North, and adj
vises the return OF Vallandigham TO the
Federal lines as protested public enemy.
In leader of the goth, it strikes up a
milder strain, as follows:
We have little to say in addition to
what we have already SAID in regard to
the case OF Mr.. FaIlaudgham. Had we
consulted our feelings, perhaps we would
have said less, or remained silent alto
gether. HOao natural it Is that ace alt feel
KINDLY tOaodrd Mr.. VaItandagham. But
duty before feelings always, in an emer-
gency. We are quite sure that no one
will appreciate the force of our remarks
more clearly, or accept them in irauker
spirit, than the subject himself Upon
the mind OF weak man they might fail
harshiy, as the first token OF public opin-
ion, but, to his enlightened liberality, they
VIII come III shape more charitable than
Iii natured or violent, for our counsel is
sincere, and, we believe, also correct.
Seriously, we do not doubt the course
which be will adopt. We really consider
his prospects to be Governor OF OHIO very
tair. Ne aoish them redlized because he as
q peace ndn-an able and honest one.
Wath such q man as President of the
United States, ace could dIaodys remain at
peace, HE Is OUR STYLE OF MAN, and as
such aoe do not aoiSh HIM consigned to the
06Scuraty and miStOrtune Of an er9te
aohere he as poaoertess for good. Whlleshe
is with us, let Us show him how deeply
we can sympathize with toeman worthy
OF our stee!-a generous enemy. Let him
take away with him no i'll feeling Let
him understand, as no one is better able
TO do, the motives which prompt U.s.
motives OF public duty mingled with great
personal admiration. We admire NcCEeL-
Ian, and aoe ADMIRE Buell. also. We adj
mlre any man OF courage and capacity
who has waged this war upon ChrlstlaD
principles. We admire Mr.. Vallandigham
more than all, because he ,Cas against the
eoar at the start, and has kept has taith
untarnished eUer since. His grooming
speech at the last Congress aoe pronounced
at the time the finest document of the
present age, and aoe entertain for the au-
thor nothing but respect and Kindness"
On The 29Gh it says, in another leader
"His (Nallandlgham's road, which
leads up the steep ascent of the future, i,
direct and gas-lighted all the way. 1t leads
first out of some Confederate port to Mas
sau, thence to Canada, and, finally, to the
gubernatorial chair of Ohio. The return
of Napoleon from Elba was the signal for
general reaction in France. Thousands
Hooked TO hun on the Instant. Nothing
could keep the Little Corporal, bars,
nor iron, nor prison, nor island. He stood
once more on his native heath, The su-
perstition of the popular heart chung to
him, and he triumphed. Let Mr.. Vallan-
digham's retRrn be as speedy. Let the
absence OF single month find him issu-
ing an address to the people OF his State
from Lower Canada, proclaiming these
things to them:
"'I loyal citizen of the Union, and soldier
thereof and of freedom, banished against law and
lines OF the public enemy, whose refusal to receive
and recognize me establishes before all men my |
prosecuted, exiled, mobbed and coerced by cow
ardly tyranss and by bayonets, but not dead nor |
dumb, issue these words, and declare myself can
didate for Governor of Ohio
The effect would be magical"
The Chattanooga Rebel, of the 9th, has |
the following account of Vsllandigham's |
arrival in the rebel lines:
"Mr. Vallandigham has just arrived. |
He was brought to our lines by a flag of |
truce, but the commander Of the outposts
refused TO recognize it for any such pur-
pose as claim of right TO ser any one
through our lines by authority. The ted
erals, becoming alarmed, retired, leaving
Mr.. '. with his baggage, upon the Neutral
ground. When our officers approached
him, he proposed delivering himself as
prisoner of war. This wa2 declined, il
ssmuoh as he was no. in the service of
tie United States. Upon learning his
name and situation, he was, however, re-
celved as al exile, banlshed from his
Stats, and, as such, rendered the tospitai-
ty OF the country, as any foreigner seek
ing a refuge, or banisbed from home tor
opinions sake. He wa. then received by
Gen. Mason, and escorted TO his headquar-
ters without any demonstration. There
he was received by Col. J. Stoddard John
ston, OF Gen. Braggs staff, and by him
IN a carriage to Shelby vile,
where comfortable quarters were provided.
There was, on the whole, no dernon.tra-
ton; bat every where, as he passed, those
who had heard OF bis coming greeted him
Kindly, and Nth silent oter1s OF sympathy
md respect
" Mr. Vallsndigham looks cheerful, ard {
seems 80 breathe easy on escaping from !
