Yallandigham's Change of Quarters.

From the Toledo Blade.
The statement of the Buffalo Adver-
tiSe1 that the "Great Banished" had been
turned out of the Clifton House is con-
tradieted by his friends. They claim
that he left voluntarily, on account of
the expenses there We have received
the following on the subject:
TOLEDO, August 7, 1868.
the Captain of one Of our Propellers, who
has been to Clifton, Canada, that the
reason why the traitor Vallandigham
left there and retired into the country,
was because the proprietor of the Clifton
warned him to leave his house, for the
reason that since he had been there he
had driven away the custom of all
Americans of any standing; that those
who came to see him were ''roughs' and
rowdies, who injured the reputation of
his house by their drunkenness and row.
dyism That the country may know how
much he is despised in Canada as well
as at home, l hope you will let this fact
be known. ,.-

Bg~ A very striking evidence of the
feeling of the soldiers of the Union for
our Congressman Voorhees,, was shown
Yesterday afternoon at the depot, as the
train was about leaving for Indianapo-
lis. A car load of furloughed officers,
soldiers and marines from the army Of
the Mississippi were on the train, on
their way from Vicksburg, and one of
their number recognizing the placid fea-
lures of Voorhees,, who was majestically
pacing the platform, made known his
presence to the occupants of the car
when Captain of an Ohio regiment got
out of the car, walked up to Voorhees,,
and as if about to greet him, asked if his
name was Voorhees,. A sweet smile lit
up Dams face, and he answered in the
affirmative, and put out his hand as if to
exchange shakes, but the officer drew
back and told him he " wouldn't shake
the hand of id copperhead," " and
told him he was traitor, and if the sol
diers had him at Vicksburg they would
hang him. 1t may be imagined that
Voorhees, felt chagrined rather at this
pleasant greeting, especially as large
crowd of witnesses were looking on upon
the interesting Interview Wdb0sh E1-

Admiral Farragut Coming North.

From the y. @. Era, of August lst
After moths of service-probably
unequaled in the history of naval war
fare, for the amount of energy, courage
and endurance required-the brave and
veteran officer, Admiral David G.. Far
ragut, is allowed short respite from
active duty, and permitted to once again
meet his many friends and revisit the
old familiar spots in the North to which
he has so long been a stranger.
From the time the first gun was fired
at the rebels in the forts at the mouth Of
the river, until the present moment, a
brilliant succession Of victories has re-
warded his efforts
The Admiral takes his departure in
that noble old ship, the Hartford, the
vessel which has borne him in safety
through so many deadly strifes, and
which has so stoutly withstood the shock
of all the conflicts for the possession of
the Lower Mississippi, III which the navy
has taken part He goes, accompanied,
too, by the gallant officers and men who
compose her crew, and who have fought
these fights under his eye.
The Commodore is at present suffer-
ing from slight illness, but we hope his
trip northward will restore him to per-
feet health, and enable him to soon re-
turn to our city and to his numerous
friends and admirers.
From the time the Hartford crossed
the bar to attack Forts jackson and St
Philip, and the rebel feet, on the morn
ing of the 25th of April, 1862, until the
present time, she has taken part in ten
engagements and has been stru ok two
hundred and three times
