ANOTHER LETTER OF vALLAND1GHAM's

me Proofs OF his Treason Accumulate.
The Ohio State Journal publishes the follow
ing letter from VALLANDIGHAM to a rebel Col
onel-a copy of which was sent North by
James Finn West, Co. A, Nineteenth o. v.
l., who, in letter to his brother, thus relates
how the document came in to his possession !:
While out on Reconnaissance yesterday,
we captured the baggage and private papers
OF Col. d. D. 1nshal, of the Sth A Alabama (reb-
eD regiment. The following interesting and
delectable letter, written by C. l.. Vallandig-
ham while here, was found among his papers.
L send you copy OF it, So that you may know
where this man stands and be governed accor-
DINGHY, as from the tenor of your last letter
was led to believe that You was inclined to IA
vor his election Governor of Ohio. But
when you come TO understand his darnnable
treason, hope for the sake of the good name
OF our family, and the cause of our country,
you will with hold your vote from so bad q
man. The original letter will be sent to head
quarters for ''Rossey's'' inspection.
[Copy of letter captured
DEAR Col. Your kind note and invitation
OF yesterday was this morning handed me by
your brother in-law, who will hand you this
in return. 1t would give much pleasure
TO visit yOn and your command before leaving
the Confederacy, but 1t is now Impossible TO
do SO, as | have made arrangements to start
this A. NJ, with the earliest train for Will
mington.
You surmise correctly, when you say that
You believe me to be the friend of the South
in her struggle for freedom. My feelings have
been publicly expressed in my own country,
in that quotation from Lord Chatham-ssMy
Lords. you cannot conquer America" There
is not drop OF Puritan blood in my veins. l
hate, despse and defy the tyrannical Govern
ment which has sent me among You. for my
opinions sake, and shall never give it my
support in its crusade upon your Institutions.
But you are mistaken when you say there are
but few such in the United States, North.
Thousands are there who would speak out but
Tor the military despotism that strangles them.
Although the contest has been, and will
continue to be, a bloody one, you have but to
persevere, and the victory will surely be
yours. You must strike home The defen-
sive policy lengthens the contest. The short
est road to peace is the boldest one. You can
have your own terms by gaining a battle on
your enemy's soil.
Accept my kind regards for your personal
welfare, and sincere thanks for your kind
wishes in my behalf and hoping and pray ing
for the ultimate cause in which you are fight
ing, believe me, as ever, your friend,

READ THIs.-De Bow, in a late number of
his Southern Review, says of the new order of
things to grow out of the Rebellion, if it sue
coed 1.-The real civilization of a country is
in its aristOcracy. The masses are moulded
into soldiers and artisans by intellect, just as
matter and the elements of nature are made
into telegraphs and steam engines. The poor,
who labor all day, ARE too tired at night to
study books. If you make them learned they
soon forget all that is necessary in the COM
mon transactions of life. To make an aristo-
crat in the future we must sacrifice thousand
paupers. Yet we would by all means make
them-make them permanent too, by laws of
entail and primOgeniture. The right TO gov
ern resides in very small minority the du-
tv to obey is inherent in the great masses of
mankind. All government begins with usur-
patton, and is continued by force. There is
nothing to which the South entertains 50 great
a dislike as universal suffrage. Whereper for
eigners settle together in large numbers there uni
Uersal suffrage acfH erist.''
Let those who profess modern Democ- :
racy and naturalized citizens who support
the rebel cause, study the above picture of
what the South wants and see how they like it.

young lady stood at the gate in front of her

That is the flag that l love ; who would not
fear death fighting under it's folds p An old
man standing behind her, under the porch, sank
into chair and wept. We passed on and shall
never know more of that old man or that beau

VOTING NEGROES.

Before the election, the copperheads were
continually crying ont, that The friends of the
Government were the friends of the negro, and
that the object of the war against the rebellion
was to place the negro on level with white
men. By the use of such subterfuges, the dir
tiest and meanest ever reSOrted to by men
claiming Intelligence, much mischief was done
and many unsuspeeting voter was seduced
from his duty. But the proceedings at the
polls, where the professions of men become
practical, proved that the copperheads were
in reality ''the niger party In one of the
election districts in this county, the copper
head leaders actually voted ''American citizens
of African descent We give this fact,
and if any man doubts it, we refer him TO DR..
Heck, who can sustain our statment if he is
disposed to support the truth. Hereafter, we
want to hear no more from the copperheads
on the subject of "nigger parties. .''-Ha,ris-

1t is singular fact that while not single
accident has occurred to the guns on board
the lronsides and Monitors, five of General
Gillmore's guns of the same calibre as those
used by the navy, have exploded become
damaged since the siege of Charleston began.
Experienced naval officers explain this by the
fact that the projectiles used by the Monitors
were F'slushed'' or creased before being ram

RESULTS OF ELEor1NG a LOYAL GOVERNOR. :.

RESULTS OF ELECTING LOYAL GOVERNOR -
The Louisville (Ky) Journal says:
ssGov. Bramlette has determined that the
guerrillas shall be routed from the State, and
the General Order of Adjutant General Boy le,
which we publish, will bring every lukewarm
Kentuckian to a vivid sense of his duty. Un-
less at least one company is raised in each
county in the State by the Oath of this month,
draft will be Immediately enforced. The
Governor says sthe State shall be free from its
murderous foes, even though eUery arm is reqnir-
ed TO aid in their destruction
This shows clearly the effect of electing
loyal man as Governor of Kentucky. If that
State had possessed such Governor at the
break ing out of the rebe lion her soil would
never have been disgraced by the tread of reb-
ell foes.

PRESENT IMPORTANCE OF HIGH PREMIUM
oS GoLD.-It is we'll known that it is the wish
VI Mr. Secretary Chase, the financial Nestor,
''"t gold should remain at forty or fifty per

'~PoFations OF foreign goods and the coDse-

lu'' rate of premium on gold would also have

All talk about the 4th in this region is
absorbed by anticipations In reference to
the great Firemen's Tournament to take
place at Ottawa on that day. Enough is
now known positively to enable US to give
ample assurance that there will be from
II to Is FIRE companies present-and there
may be 90. They will come in full uni
form, with engines decked In their best
holiday attire Imagine the procession
they will form. A more magnificent
spectacle cannot be conceived Then the
contest among all these for supremacy.
We know of nothing short OF well con-
tested battle that can be as exciting as
such contest. The people that will
throng to town to witness this will alone
be worth going many miles to see. The
committee Of Fireman and citizens who
have the matter in charge assure us howe
YER that ample arrangements are made to
feed and entertain whatever crowd may
come, and there need be no fear whatever
on that score Ottawa can subsist Hook

they bought them during the late panic II

they are just ahead of all; and the bes
