The San Francisco Bulletin Of July 10,
thus describes the effects in that city Of
the news Of Meades and Grants victories: :
at is jolly city, this of ours, just at

neighbor, they clink together brimming
gOblets Of news and grow oonvivsl upon

necessity Of signalling cut few who

streets. Scarce the hiss of Copperhead
can be heard in the land-tt the trail Of the
serpent over it all is less perceptible than
formerly, for the rousing news from the
East has bruised its head SO that there is
scarce wriggle left in the whole length
Of its scalp back.
"For two evenings past there have been
fireworks in various parts Of the city, and
yesterday the city and the bay we're fairly
red, white and blue with the bunting that
floats from royal truck and roof. Further
fireworks are proposed, and more jollifca-
tion, and it may fairly be expected that all
the hills which environ the city will blaze
like volcanoes for q week 70 come. Lees

the bright galaxy Of victories all blossom

How YaIlandigham IS TO get 20 Ohio.
The Toledo Blade says that Sunset Cox
gave the nsdus operandi Of the return of
the Exile when he is elected Governor
of Ohio. The scheme is on par with the
most Of Coxis vagaries. The Blade says;
aHe said that in case their State ticket
was successful, Pugh would appear at the
proper time and be installed as Lieutenant
Governor, when, from the State House
steps, he would call three times from Val
landigham, the Governor elect, and if he
did not come, he (Pugh) as acting Cover
nor would call out the State Militia, and
at the head Of two hundred thousand men
march to the Canada line and escort VAL
landigham to the Capital That is the
programme, as announced BY Cox. We
understand it was received with about the
sane applause as met all his vsgsries."
It may be worth while to ask Cox and
Pugh how the 1.-TWO hundred thousand" are
going to ''march to the Canada line" with
out Invading" the "sovereign" states Of
PennsyIvanis snd New York or Michigan.
OF course the Estate Rights dOctrins of
the Vallsndighammers would not let them
disregard refusal from Governor Curtin
to suffer tem to march ACROSS Pennsyl-
vania.

Trnuhlinr his Keerers.


We have already referred to the last let
ter ofVallsndigham's as one likely to cause
the Vallsndigham party more trouble than
his former one, because it is more unblush-
ing and open in its assertions Of disloysl-
" and treason. A more fagrsnt case Of
disunion sentiments is not upon record
than this letter Of Vallandigham's. And
his party, which had already too heavy
load Of disloyalty to bear, will find this
lasf epistle the straw which viii break
down many an otherwise "gOod Demo-
erst.n The Toledo Blade says that Vallan-
digham's managing sdherents we're not
satisfied with his address TO the ohio De-
nooracy, as it presented too many points
Of attack, and under its secession influence
their party was daily dwindling away.
Accordingly, when the Toledo meeting was
projected, q messenger was sent to the ex-
lie to council him to be more moderate in
his expressions. At the same the Demoe-
racy held out false cOlOrs by putting upon
their posters that one Of the objects Of the
meeting was to forward q vigorous pros
eeutiOn Of the war" They hoped thus to
restore some Of the waning strength Of the
Vallandighammers in the northwest pOr-
fion Of the State. But Val took the bits
in his teeth and wrote sletter more trail
tOrOus, more rebslliOus, more disunion than
suy Of his previous Ones, and the managers
are in despair.

A writer from Niagara Falls says he
overheard VsHsndigham and 5 friend
tslking over matters, in which the martyr
said his expenses after be was turned
loose into rebellion tiIl be reached the
Falls, were only twsnty-seven dollars
for which he hsd travelled through Seces-
sia, to Bermuda, to Canada aud through
the cities Of Quebec, Montreal, ETC. Nov
somebody must have paid Vars expenses
down in Dixie When a cup Of coffee
costs dollar, beefsteak as much more,
two eggs half q dollar, and q slice of rye
bread aquarter, even SO spirituslized q
creature as Vallandighsm's msrtyrdOm
has worn him down to be, could not live,
move and have being IN the COnfederacy
without running up nice little bill for
somebody to pay. And one is perfectly
warranted in saying that while in rebel
dom he was the guest Of the rebels.
Would they have showed him SO much at
tion and spared his greenbacks if he had
not been their Acknowledged ally and
friend2 Assuredly not. Do the people
of Ohio want to vote for man who lives
upon the hospitality of the deadly enemies
of their Government Esau sold his
birthright for mess of pottage; Vsllan-

passed for the punishment Of " gsrrOters
and others, which adds to the old penalty
Of penal servitude for life or imprisOn-
ment the new punishment Of whipping to
be inflicted once, twice or thrice. .An
English paper says
4" A man whose age does not exceed six
teen can be fogged with birch rod up to
twenty-five strokes on each occasion, and
above that age fifty strokes can be inhict-
ed on each occasion. The whipping is to
take place within six months after the
sentence, and in case of penal servitude

By putting as its leader the man who
openly says that no honorable or sane man
will ask or expect the people of the South
to surrender Now, as the rebels declare
that they wiz not think Of peace except
By war, it follows that Vallandighsm de-
sires that the ofser side-ths side Of the

In the course of full report Admiral
Porter says:
al have endesvored to do Justice to all
who we're Immediately engaged in the
struggle for the mastery Of the Mississippi
thanks for the capture of Vioksburg, but
the army was much facilitated by the navy,
which was ready at all times to cooperate.
This has been no small undertaking. The
late investment and capture Of Vieksburg
will be characterized as one Of the greatest
military achievements ever known. The
conception Of the idea originated with
General Grant, who adopted course in
which the great labor was performed, great
battles were fought, and great risks were
run. A single mistake would have iuVolv-
ed us in difficulty but so we'll we're all
the plans matured, so we'll were all the
movements timed, and so rapid were all
the evolutiOns performed that no mistake
has ACQUIRED from the passage Of the feet
by Vieksburg, and the passage Of the army
across the river, up to the present time.
So confident was I Of the ability of General
Grant to carry out his plans, when he ex-
planned them to me, that 1 never hesitated
to cbsnge my position from above to be-
low Vicksburg. The work was hard, the
fighting severe, but the blows struck were
constant.
" In forty days after our army landed,
a rebel army Of sixty thousand men had
been captured, killed, and wounded, or
scattered to their homes, perfectly demor-
allied, while our loss has been only about
Eve thousand killed, wounded, and prison
ers, and the temporary loss of one gunbost.
The fortifeations and defences Of the city
exceed anything that has been built in
modern times, and are dOubly unsssailsbls
from their immense height above the bed
Of the river"
