INDICATIONS OF NEW MOVEMENTS

We have the announcement in letter pub
lished in the Pittsburg Gazette, that four
Transports, arith Hunters troops, are al NeD Or
leans, aad that others are coming. If this be
true, we think it indicates a-wise determine
ton to begin at the Mississippi, where the
most etfectual breach has been made into the
rebellion, aud drive it eastward uutii ii shall
be swept from the continent. AS the armies
move on, the work of reconstruction will go
on in the rear, holding fast all we gam. We
can now see '.the beginning of the end Hun
tel IS fine army is too small to carry OIL efficient
offensive Operations where it was; but CON-
bined as part OF it will now be with those of
Banks, Grant and RosecraEs, it Can render
good service. OF course sufficient force
will be left at Hilton Head and Beaufort to
hold securely that most important acquisition
on the coast CT South Carolina; for to abau-
don it altogether would be both unwise and
barbarous.

The Berks County Press, copies the fol-
lowing notice from the Chambersburg Eram-
liner In speaking of Mrs Rice's great Show,
the Examiner says:
eve call special attention to this exhibi-
tion, not on account of its reputed excellence
shd attractiveness, but from the fact that it
is under managerial control of a lady, who
is eminently entitled to the confidence. en-.
couragemeat and support of all classes of the
community who wish to see true, noble and
meritorious ,comdn succeed. We allude to
her who is well known in private and pro-
fessonal circles particularly in this State,
where she was born and raised) as Mrs DAN
RICE now Mrs. Charles Warner.
Without making comments in regard TO
the circumstances that compelled her to seek
a legal dissolution from the person to whom
she was welded when mere girl, We can
commend her for the courage and frmness
she has evinced in maintaining the high po-
sition she acquired when she was mistress of
the -'Great Show BY the aid Of capital
she has formed an establishment that it is Sec
ond to none in the world. 1t is new cir
Gus, and conducted on the most correct prin
ciples, and as a place of amusement can be
proftly and conscientiously attended by re-
fined and moral people. A good company of
male and female performers, immense
stock of acting horses, ponies, mules and
other animals, and carefully selected and
Judlclously arranged programme, are charac-
teristic features in her management. Her
daughter Miss Libbe Rice, accompanies her
mother, and participates in the performances.
the names of the arfistes will be found in the
regular advertising columns. When the lady
we have spoken of was here in 1859. she crea-
ted profound sensation by her bold though
ctdste ndaage acts. -
Mrs. Rice's show will be in Clearfield on
Monday June Sth. See advertisements.

aFREEpom OF SPEECH. y

One DANIEL TuTrLB, of Bucyrus, Crawford
county, Ohio, lately posted placard in the
following words
Resistance to tyrants is patriotism The
M inions of Lincoln and Tod have invaded our
soil, to drag from their homes six hundred
freemen of Crawford county. To arms. ye
men of Crawfordi Have a bullet ready for
the dastards who order one drafted man to
leave his home and county against his will"
This is the kind of stuff which politicians of
the copperhead stripe are trying to entrench
among the constitutional immunities of free
speech. Tu.tle uses little palmer and broad
er style than the more artful and accomplish
ed masters of his school, such as Gov. Sey
meur or Voorhees,; but the import is the same
and "e know that the country is full of such
nen as he, who have neither heart nor brains
sufficient to raise them above the low range
OF mere partisans, and who will get themselves
and fellow dupes into serious trouble if they
persist in following their leaders to the length
ofputting themselves in conflict with the gov
ernment. For the benefit of thoughtless men
whose party madness might drive them to the
commission OF acts which wonld involve them
in difficulty, we subjoin the 25th section of
the act of Congress for enrolling and calling
out the rational forces
.dad be IL further enacted, That if any person
shall resist any draft of men enrolled under
this act into the service of the United States,
or shall counsel or aid any person to resist
any such draft, or shall assault or obstruct any
officer in making such draft, or in the pertor
nance of any service in relation thereto, or
shall counsel any person to assault or obstruct
any such officer, o. shall counsel any drafted
men not to appear at the place of rendezvous,
wilfuly dissuade them from the perform-
ance of military duty required By, law, such
person shall be subject to summary arrest by
the provost marshal, and shall be forthwith
delivered to the civil authorities, and upon
conviction thereof, be punished by fine not
exceeding five hundred dollars, or by impris-
onment not exceeding two years, or by both
OF said punishmentg.
The provisions of this section will be rigor-
ously enforced by the provost marshals of the,
several districts and their deputies, who have
forces under their command fully adequate to
meet any exigency that may arise and men
who are inclined to try their hands at playing
the part OF traitors, will find that it is very
different thing from the old play OF party pol
ities.-Gdzefte.

vailandigham Beyond our Lines.

c. l.. Valiandigham arrived at Murfreesbo-
ro by special train on Sunday the Gath, and
on Mohday was sent by flag of truce to
Bragg's lines at Shellbyyille. He was cheer
full, and on taking leave of his escort told
them that he was loyal citizen of the United
States. 1t is sd id tnat he was received by
private soldier and conducted to Col Webb
of the 6th Alabama, who told him he had read
all of his speeches, but did not like him; he
would, however, permit him to remain at his
post until the pleasure of the authorities
should be known. Another report states that
Braggs telegraphed 10 jeff Davis. to know
what should be done with Vallandigham, and
that Davis sent word that if Val. won Id prompt
~ and heartily take the oath of allegiance to
Seeessia they might let him run.

The Army Of tn c Cumberland.

Parson Brownlow, in letter to the Phila-
delphia Press, writes from Nashville
ssThe indications are, though not very strong,
that the rebels will either attack the grand
army of the Cum mberland, or seek TO get in our
rear. 1t is certain that, three days ago, two
divisions of the rebel army moved forward
several miles. A military gentleman gives it
advancing to give room for reinforcements
coming in. Be this as it may, the fortifca
tions of Murfreesboro and Nashville are com
plete, and can't be taken. The army of the
Cumberland is in fine cond ition, and has sup
plies of all kinds, here and at Murfreesboro,

THE vALLANDIGHAM CASE.

The following is extract from a private
letter from an officer of high rank in the De-
partment of the Ohio, which gives the reasons
for Burnside's arrest of Vallandigham
II think you are wrong about vallandigham.
His offence was essentially military one, in
this aspect, that it demoralized the army, pre-
vented recruiting, encouraged desertion, in
cited men to resist the arrest of deserters, and
tended to make trouble about the increase of
the army by conscripUon, by melting resist
ance to the execution of that law. These,
mind you, are not problematicaI results of his
course but actual. Specific cases of all of
them, except the last, are continually occur
ring, invariably among men who call them
selves Democrats and swear by Faliandigham.
The only remedy was by sudden and short
stoppage. This could not possibly be effected
by the civil law. His offence is hardly known
to civil law, and there would have been no
end of trouble in getting him indicted. Then
he would have been simply bound to stand his
trial at some future day. and would have gone
on talking his treason and sedition. And the
bad effects before mentioned would have gone
on growing in power aud influence, and might
have got too big to stop.
ssMoreover, special cases of i'll doing result
ting from and directly in accordance with his
teachings, have constantly to be attended to-.
They cannot be overlooked. Should we pun
iSh tiSiu anu ict Hiui 90 ou ihSititS thS Coiu-
mission of just such acts ? abusing the courts
that try them and bringing their authority in
to disrepute9
ssYou have no idea of the amount of open
and bold disioy alty-not simply disloyalty by
the Republican standard, but by that of any
honest man-existing in Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, among the Vallandigham party. 1t
must be stopped and put down no,r-not six
months hence-and military tribunals are the
only ones that can do it. 1t must be put
down, if it should take temporary military
fdespotlsu ont hero 10 do it. 1t is that, or the
loss OF the cause. The course of these men
prelongs the war aud costs lives by thousands,
and tell you either they or the government
must go down, and that speedily"
