President LfncoIn,s Reply.

Read Mr.. Lincoln's Reply to the Albany
Committee, touching the SO much complained
of arbitrary arrests It is on the first page
of to-day's Democrat 1t is clear, forcible,
and unanswerable. 1t shows that in time of
rebellion aud ciuil ,oar, such arrests are not in
compatible with the Constitution - that
when the life and perpetuity of the Govern
ment are concerned, such arrests are justifa-
BILE, as in time of rebellion or invasion, the
Constitution expressly provides for the sus-
pension OF the writ of habeas corpus. But
partisan Democrats, in assaiiing this suspen-
sion and these arrests, ignored the existence
of civil war, and argue as if the country was
reposing in all the calm security of smiling
peace. A thimble full of common sense, ap-
piled to their reasoning, will upset all their
sophistry, and show that in case of civil war;
the Suspension of the writ of habeas corpus,
and military arrests, are not only strictly in
accordance with constitutional permission, but
absolutely necessary to the salvation of the
Republic, and to the preservation of the very
Constitution for which these blatant peacen
men profess to have so much regard.

by which he hopes to produce breed of ma
tive sheep that will prove desirable aeces-

bred them sin and in" until now he has an
eve three years old, buck from her two

one year old. For the first time, they We're
sheared some two weeks ago, ten days after
being washed. The wool from the three year
old eve (three years growth) measured 18
inches in length that from the buck (two
years growth) the same, and that from the
yearling eve, inches showing, as we thirk,

cided Improvement in quality from the one
to the other. The three feeces weighing

The PITTSBURGH Dispatch of yesterday
morning learns from private advices that the
main body of the rebel army is east of the
Blue Ridge, and threatening Washington
Gen. Hooker's army is in position between
the rebels and Washington. guarding an ex-
tensive line, but kept so constantly on the
alert that no point is presented to the enemy
so weak as to invite attack, and bring on a
general engagement, which Hooker has thus
far managed to avoid. Skirmishing has been
going on necessarily for several days. The
force detached from Lees army to threaten
the invasion of Pennsylvania does not seem
to have weakened his force sufficiently to JUS
tify Hooker in assuming the offensive
Meantime, the six months troops are rallying
by thousands, and Lees position will become
untenable without battle unless he assumes
the offensive without delay.

The six or seven hundred armed men, as
sembled in Holmes County, have been over
powered by the Government, and have dis
persed and given up their miniature rebellion
There was some skirmishing, in which sever
al were wounded. These misguided men,
deluded by the base, disloyal Vallandigham
leaders, have been awakened to the foolish
ness of armed resistance to the Government,
and to the certain ruin which is sure to fall
on all who join in such reasonable combina-
tions. A number Of these Holmes County
insurgents have been arrested, taken to Cleve-
land and confined in Jail, to await their tria
before the U. S. District Court. The crime
of some of the culprits is treason, and fo
that they will be tried.
