Nor MoRsEL FROM ME.-We
know that Vallandigham refused, as
Congressman, to vote a dollar or a
man for this war, and also refused to
vote supplies for men when they were
raised. for such is part Of his recorded
history: butt seems he even refused
to contribute a morsel to feed the men
who were summoned to Cincinnati to
beat back the invaders from Ohio soil.
The Cleveland leader gives the follow
ing as having occurred at a Union
meeting held in Euclid on Saturday
evening:
Mr.. Ansel Walworth, one of the
most reliable citizens of this county,
on being called up, made the following
statement-every word of which can
be substantiated by other equally re-
liable men:
When the armed citizens of the Re-
serve we're on their way TO the defense
of Cincinnati last summer, they found
ample provisions made for their sus-
tenance at all the points where refresh
ments were needed, except at Day
ton. At that city our hungry defend
ers we're obliged to solicit or beg like
needy mendicants; and to secure
something like an adequate supply a
committee were appointed to visit the
different portions of the town and make
their wants known.
Mr.. Waiworth accompanied those Of
this committee, who, in their round, visi-
ted the dwelling of G. L. Vallandig-
ham, who was at home, and with
whom an interview was had by the
committee, in the presence of Mr.. Wal
worth.
The committee respectfully made
known their errand TO Mr.. Vallandig-
ham, and stated for what purpose our
citizens were on their way South, that
they were hungry, and needed bread,
meet, &c. To this Mr.. Vsllaudigham
replied; "You shall not have NOR
selfrom me. 60 back home and stay
there, and the rebels will not hurt any
body. If you were all starving in the
streets, l would not give you a morsel
of bread"

~The Evansville, Ind. Journs

EThe Evansville, Ind, journal
says: 1--WE have reliable information
that considerable force Of guerrillas
have crossed the Tennessee river, near
Fort Heiman, coming North. The
number has been reported as high as
1000, which is probably an exaggera-
ton. There is no doubt, however,
that there are movements now being
made BY these rowing bands Of thieves
and murderers, who, hoping TO take
advantage OF the exigencies Of the SER
vice which call sll our available forces
in Tennessee and Kentucky to the front,
are concentrating their forces in the
hope of making successful ioray into
Kentucky, or even across the Ohio
river. Already expeditions are organ
lied and organizing in Kentucky to
meet and battle their Vaccinations and
inflict merited punishment on the vii
laIns.

HThs Confedsrate debt a fe,

FT The Confederate debt a few
weeks ago, had reached the sum OF
$4,000. 900 and is increasing at more
rapid rate than at any tine since the
war commenced. owing to the great
depreciation in the value Of Confederate
notes. It is probably now over s1,-
600, 900. 900. It is this enormous debt
that the N. Y. World and Mr.. Vsllan-
dighsm would saddle upon the people
OF the loyal States, in addition to their
own, in order that we may purchase a
peace. The Romans did not pay so
much even in their degenerate days to
be relieved Of the presence OF Northern
nations. Mr.. Vallandighsm is not only
in favor of treason, but also in favor
Of paying men for being traitors.

FROZEN WATERMELoN.-The Wash
ington Star states that frozen watermel-
on is now all the rage among the epi-
cures of the Federal Capital, and thus
describes how the thing is got up:
"Tbe melon (select a frst-class one
in the start. of course. subjected to
the freezing process, should be buried
in pounded ice, perhaps twelve hours
previous to use. and packed carefully
away in the coolest place attainable.-
When again brought to light. the melon
shows an even coating Of frost, like
dew, upon the surface, and, on being
cut, (lengthwise, by all MEANS, a
smart, crisp detonation precedes the
knife in its progress, when the fruit is
in perfect condition. Then carve and
eat ad libitum."

Had the path of duty been less plain,

or the distinctions of the present less
clear, friendly ingenuity might have
devised plausible and pslliating ex-
cuses for his moral and political sbber-

and bis posterity, the light Of present
events Is too powerful and penetrating
to permit such fimsy fctions to veil

come restive, and the hours become irk-
some. But the greatest source Of mel
ancholly among soldiers, is the non
arrival OF mails. and the shameful ne
gleet Of friends at home to write.-
When q mail chances 10 arrive, it is
curious to witness the many anxious
faces, as general rush is made around
those who distribute it, and hear the
eager cry, "Give me my letter, give
me my letter." and it is then sorroWful
to witness the sad faces of those who
turn away disappointed. and hear them
exclaim, "My friends have forgotten
me-" ''they don't care straw for me,
and I will not write again until receive
letter." But the next place you will
see them is under some tree with
sheet Of paper on their kaees writing to
some neglected. friend.
A great many letters that do come
are nothing more than a mere excuse
for letters. They are very short
and unsatisfactory, containing nothing
but a few words about their health,
Of the Copperheads, or Of Morgan's
raid, &c. Our friends should write
more encoursgingly. and not spare a
sheet or two of paper and little more
time, thus making the correspondence
more steady and interesting. Anything
to a soldier is interesting. and you need
not fear exhsusting their patience by
long letters and graphic descriptions OF
what is transpiring at home. Let your
friends know that you are interested in
their welfare. Encourage them BY kind
words. You should be proud Of the
noble deeds they have performed, and
that you have sent such noble sons Of
freedom to the field to battle with a
deadly foe. Encourage them, l say
Show them that you appreciate their
deeds of valor, and that you will be
slow to forget them. While you are at
home enjoying ease. and comfort, do
not forget those who stand between you
and the bayonets Of the enemy, bleed

rary says that be was 20 years Old
He was native of Virginia, having
been born in that State 10 1898. He
was in the service under General Jack

Of trust, civil and military, and at
length became Governor of Tennessee.
For some mysterious cause, never COM

years OF savage life he emigrated to
Texas where he took an active part in
the war Of independence against Mexi-
co. He was twice elected President

tRosECRANs BEFORE THE BATTLE.
The correspondent Of The New York
Herald writing Of the battle Of Chick
smauga says: - 5tF.
The General, who bad been up, all
night, though seriously IN. indefatipa-
bic as ever. had donned what his staff
eall "his fighting COATS great coat Of
the style in common use among the pri-
yate soldiers. BE bad early slung the
canteen Of his orderly around his own
neck, and this. said his staff, wfso had
watched land studied his manners,
meant eight" He was to me that
morning an interesting study. for had
found him iu a new character. He has
three distinct characters, which It re-
quires three different circumstances to
reveal. In garrison, as at Murfrees-
boro, lively, good nstured, pleasant
and agreeable, fond of social games
and conversation, be had grown pain
fully less to one who approached him
with reverence for him as q great war
rior; for he could see no traits Of it.
In movements-during his maneuvcrs
/ mean-quiek, lively, yet severe, his
nerves strung to their greatest tension,
and somewhat disposed to be excited
over his plans and calculations, he cre-
ates in the beholder curiosity as to his
real nature, and one gets bewildered in
seeing the opposing traits Of the man.
But on the morning OF the 18th. when
it was evident that everything was mar
rowed down to an engagement, his |
manner assumed rigid dignity that
was painful. He spoke in low tones,
neither soft, nor pleasant, nor harsh,
nor rough. His nerves become solidi-
fed, and he is man of iron. He sees
everything and notices nothing. He
stares and says nothing. You speak,
and he looks at you for a moment and
then turns away. All instinctiyely felt
on that morning that Rosey was not in
his approachable humor; "for, like the
oracles, be talked with fate"
/ shall never believe that Rosecrans
or Thomas entered into the first battle
Of Chiekamauga with that degree of
confidence which should have been felt
by them. There appeared to be some
hing over which Rosecrans had no
urging him to battle, and the
knowledge of it made Thomas, who
olanches at nothing, look black. .
