NEWS OF THE DAY.
We publish letter from Gen. Gar
ield, in which Vsllandighsm's false
hoods in regard to the willingness ol
the rebels to consent to & reconstruction
Of the Union, are ably exposed. The
Generals statements are derived from
the most respectable citizens Of that
part Of Tennessee visited by Vallandig-
ham. 1t will be remembered that
few days since we published special
dispatch from Stevenson, Ala, which
fixed on YaIlsndigbsm the guilt of en-
couraging the rebels in resistance. and
urging them 70 hold on to Vicksburg
to the last. No names were given, but
our correspondent derived the facts
from highly respectable authority. A
singular confirmation of the dispatch
win be found in our telegraph columns
this morning. A correspondent Of the
New York Times, who has Just ar
rived iu Philsdelphis from Richmond,
received in the latter city from the lips
of son Of Gen. Lane Of Oregon, the
information that Lee and Morgan invs-
ded the North on the representation OF
ValIandigham that their advent would
call to arms the whole snti-war party
ef the North, we have now from three
different sources between which there
could be no completely, the evidence
that Vallandigham is not only bitter
and unscrupulous opponent OF the war
policy of the Government, but hypo-
critical traitor and most unblushing
liar.
The Vermont election, Of which we
publish partial returns, took place on
Tuesday. 1t resulted in the election
of the Union State oficers-Governor,
Lieutenant. Governor, and Treasurer
and of three Union Congressmen.-
Out Of fifty towns, only two send
Democratic representatives; while the
Senate will be unanimously Union
Vermont has always done well, and
does we'll again. Vermont and Cali
fornia, the first States TO hold elections
1his fall have botb set us noble exam
pies. Maine will, we trust, follow in
tbe same track.
Our correspondent with the Army Of
the Cumberland furnishes an inter-
esting review of movements from the
18th 10 the 3lst ult. On the 2lst our
lines extended along the Tennessee
river from Harrison, lew miles north
Of Chattanooga, to Bellefonte, the
capital Of Jackson county, Ala, below
Stevenson. On the 29d Col. Wilder
shelIed Chattsnoogs with considerable
effect. The next Eve days we're occu-
pied 10 preparations for crossing the
Tennessee, which was effected without
resistance on the 29th at four different
points. At the time the letter was
written there was every indication Of
the speedy approach Of important
events.
From Gen. Burnside's army our dis
patches bring information Of great in
terest. On the ed inst, his forces oc-
cupied Kingston, Tennessee. Thus
far he has encountered little opposition.
East Tennessee is in great part sbsn-
doned by the rebels, who are concen-
trating all their strength at Chat
tanooga.
A very interesting account Of the
capture of the blockade runner, Alice
Cooper, in Topsail Inlet, N. c., will be
found in our Washington dispatch.
We have news from Charleston to
the lst inst. Fort Sumter though still
held by the rebels, was silent. An
attempt was made by the garrison to
renew their fire, but it was speedily
checked. On the 31st the iron-clads
engaged Fort Moultrie, but were soon
withdrawn. Stormy weather some
what hindered our operations, but
good headway was being made on land.
Our lines were approaching each other
and Gen. Gilmore had succeeded in
running a parallel against Fort Wag-
ner. Charleston had not been bonn
barded for ten days, though the 500
FOUNDER reported burst, was not much
hurt. A second gun Of the kind has
also been sent to the General. A re-
connoisance up the hsrbor found few
traces Of obstructions, and it was be-
lieved that the city might be reached
by bold dash.
