LETTER FROM HON. WASHINGTON
'"'.' HUNT. q "'l"7 1'"
LooKPoRT, May 16.

Gentleman: have received your let
ter inviting me to attend the proposed
meeting at Union, Square II is out of
my power to come, but I wish to avail
myself of the occasion to declare my en-
phatic condemnation Of. the recent at
tempts to subject the people of the loyal
States to an irresponsible and arbitrary
domination. u" ~ 3.'.t,l 20 5i-"a az
While we are willing to submit to the
greatest sacrifices in a patriotic spirit for
the preservation of the Constitution and
the Upionnit, may as we'll be understood
that we! viii mot consent to be- bereft
of any Of our constitutional rights. We
have lostnone Of these rights in conse-
quence Of the Southern rebellion.
The Administration ought to compre-
bend that it is amenable to public opin-
ion, and that its conduct and policy ave
legitimate subject ,9frpopular discussion
and criticism IT, is for the perpetuation
of free constitutional government, and for
this only, that the country has been so
willing TO exhaust its best blood and place
it's vast resources at the disposal of the
national authority God forbid that the
American people shoaldallow the strength
thus impaired to be turned against them
selves, and a military despotismd erected
on the ruins of public liberty! So far as
New Yorkis concerned, let it be proclaim
ed FROM the house tops that no man with
insher borders "shall be deprived of life,
liberty or property without due process of
law. ""J2IlI' gnG jn g1o.hlca aHay haiInI"

tors or5himself. The sympathy which he
would receive would be a moral support
to himself and his friends at home
Whereas, even the. cbmmonest humanity
here, if prolonged beyond an obvious ne
cessty, will compromise him and them,
and will give Seward the advantage he
sought in the combined tyranny and cum
ming which prompted him to expel VAL

lines.
From the Richmond Dispatch. May 20.
For this gentleman we have great
deal of respect He has, indeed, put his
views about the restoration of the Union,
and the tcrrhinatidnfof the rebelliop-in
constitutional way-in a rather strong
light to suit our. tastes.~a But, he has, new
ertheless, dcclared that he believed that
war was not the way to restore it; and
we believe that the war once suspended
ends it finally 1T least between the pres
ent parties on the present issue. We
should not wonder if he thought so him
self Moreover, he has been bold and
defiant in his opposition to the tyrannies
of Lincoln. and the objects and manner OF,
the war. In this he has exhibited the
spirit Of madness and independence that
challenges ,admiration.tn 1ntlH1 $50
In deciding the question of what course
we should pursue, with regard to him,
the personal considerations should be
kindly and respectful. He, however,
comes not as a refugee, and, it appears
from the accounts of the scene of his in-
PRODUCTION to onr territory, not as one
asking shelter and protection. On the
contrary, he declared himself a citizen of
the United States sand loyal to them."--.
To our officers, on being, as it were,
showed in at the door, be said, 81 am a
citizen of the State of OHIO and of the
United States 1 am here by force and
against my will. Il therefore, surrender
myself to you as prisoner Of war"
This happened just inside the lines of
Gen. Bragg's army. 1t is plain that Mr..
Vallandighamm does not mean to embarrass
our Government by making any appeal
to it. Indeed, we think it plain that he
would prefer that the Confederate author
tiles should send him back through Rose
Grams lines, in order that the Federal
Government shall be forced to complete
his case within IT'S own territory-that his
sentence and its penalty should be con-
summated in his own country among his
own people, .<5f' ,. '9l' s't.L ..2a s12d"

Dix, dated Fortress Monroe March 3d. stating that
bel papers had been received there containing the impOr
tant intelligence that Fort McAlster had fallen into the
hands of the Union forces" 1t is added
This fort is the principal defence of Savannah harbor
and several weeks ago chroncled the fact that the
Ericsson battery Montauk, under the command of Capt
Worden, of Monitor fame had attacked it, and after
taining bombardment of several hours retired.
The rebels at that time loud in their boastings
that the attack real one and that the Montauk
worsed in the engagement But knowing kGew that
the attack only in for the purpose of gaining in
formation to the whereabouts of the rebel guns and
their calibre, that when attack larger scale
should be made it would be with the full knowledge of the
position and strength OF the rebels. This information was
gained and Immediately most formidable expedition
