BHDaEroRr, Ala. Sept. 6, 1863.
The gentleman appointed by Gov. Tod to
distribute election blanks to the Ohio troops,
arrived yesterday. Mr.. Grinaths, who repre-.
sents the Vallanotgham party, called to-day
at Gen. Rosecrans' headquarters. The Gov
ernor's Introductory letter obtained for him a
respectful reception and hearing, which
would not otherwise have been accorded to
nan Of his sentiments. General Garfield,
cliet Of staff, &C., during the day fell into
conversation with him and introduced Ohio
politics, when most animated and inter-
es;ing scene ensued. Grifd,hs is ehrewd and
ally candid for one Of bis party; but he
found more than match in Garfield.
During the interview the folio wing conver-
satlon between the two occurred. Garfield
remarked in substance, that he understood
the Vallandigham party professed to believe
tint the Government couldn't succeed In
crushing the rebellion, aud that it, was in fa-
TOR Of Immediately and uneondltlona1ly stop
ping the war; to which Gritliths answered
affilmatiyely.
Gatdeld-f contrary to -FOUR expectations,
the armies Of the Government should succeed,
your party you'd be- disappointed and Its
prospects badly injured
Grlthths-Yee, to some extent.
Garfeld-Now, In few days this army
may be engaged In terrible battle with
B1ogg's whole force. Possibly we may crush
1t. Would not your party Be Injured By such
sIilaihaIwen. Fl you would affect the result
Gaftle1d-ohl then, as party you don't
want 10 zee us succeed?
Grifiths-Real}y We have no interest in the

whether re Or Bragg arc crushedP
,n$H n3rA !. r
patty bad no interest In the Issues Of the 1g1t,
but carefully abstained from saying that his
party sympathized with Rosecrans in the
coming struggle.
Somewhat later, Garfield expressed surprise
that a man rho had held the public position
Of Vallandigharn should write letter to the
statemen.s, which were not only talse, but
which he knew to be lies. For example, he
says In the Niogara Falls letter, that he met
not d single man, woman or child in the South
Who did not express themselves willing and
anxious to dIscnss the subject Of q recoustruc.-
eheuld Withdraw its troops. 81 Now" said
Garfield, sternly aud emphatical1y 81 hold
mytelt responsible as man and public officer
to The Democratic party Of Ohio, to prove
that Vallandigham knew that he stated
Hsrris Of Tennessee, said to him in the pres
euce Of many witnesses, Mr.. Vallandfgham,
you totally misapprehendus. We will accept
no terms that do not recognize the eternal
separation Of the South from the North. We
will listen to no terms which do not begin
with these conditions. We will accept no
boundary liRe eouth Of the Potomac and
Ohio,'"
Gen. Garfield added that he could give
the names Of many responsible citizens Of
She1byville. Tenn, who heard the conYer-
sation between VallandIgham and Harris.
In reply, Grifaths said that Vallandigham
was steering as close to wind rs he could,
when making that statement, to secure bis
political success. "Vallandigham,' be said,
!" has no expectation Of the restoration Of the
