the case Of Vallandigham, was argued TO-
lav before Judge Valentine, in the U.
Cireuit Court. Gen. Burnside sent
in long communication to the Court, OF
which the following is a synopsis:
"He will use all his power to suppress
seditiou in the army, and without dong
SO there can be no discipline and no sue
cess. If an enemy were to distribute
tracts in the army to create sedltion, lie
would be hung as soon as found guilty,
and one of our own public men should
not be allowed to do it with impunity. In
crisis like the present, public men
shout not encourage scditon, nor aid IN
the organization Of secret societies to de-
stroy the Government. In this depart
ment men must not do this. lie Will
