The following autograph letter from lion.
Q. L. Vallandigham was received by the
Committee Of the Sanitary Fair on Monday:
WINDSOR, C. w., Dec. l6, 1863.
George Mclaughlin, Esq, Cincinnati, o:
SR-Yours of the 18th, requesting from
me an autograph letter, for the benefit of
the Sanitary Commission, has been received,
add chserfully comply.
"The object Of the Commission is one of
mercy. 1t is charity truly Christian to
visit the sick, to heal the wounded, to min
lister to the manned, to comfort the afflicted,
to relieve the prisoner, to clothe the naked,
to feed the hungry, to give drink to them
them who are athirst, to cheer the widow
and the fatherless, to save human life, to
alleviate human suffering, and thus restore
some part of that which war always so
largely sub,racis rom the hum of human
happiness. That all this is to be wrought
out on behalf of those or the families of
those who brave wounds and death with he
roic courage, upon the many battle fields Of
this most sorrowful of wars, gives but still
more of value to the mercifuI purpose
The Commission, if Justly, fairly, with lin-
tegrity and without Partially, it shall per-
form its plous duties will prove itself wor-
thy of all the noble praise bestowed by
Burke upon the benevolent Howard.
Very truly, c. l.. VALLANDIGHAM."

RETURN THE DEsERTERs.

We print from the indianapolis Jour
nal, the particulars Of the recent execution
Of dcserter, in that city. Ills case was
aggravated by tie fact that, when he left
our forces, he took the oath Of allegiance
10 the pirates Contedcrncy, and by the
other fact Of his subsequent return within
our lines, as spy. But let no man who is
abscnting himself from the army, upon the
supposition that his offence will be passed
lightly over, delude himself with the no
ton that for military executions the aggra-
1ations that marked tho case Of the man
Just shot, will be esteemed necessary.
There is limit to tile endurance Of the
Government; the public service demands
more stringency of discipline; and no
man who rightfully owes allegiance to tue
military law, can hope to escape the con.
sequences Of its infraction. Dcserters
no matter where they are, or what the
length Of their absence, ought 10 be warn
I'd by their friends to lose no time in re
burning to their respective commands.
And the friends themselves, many o
whom permit their duty to their country
to be oTerbornc By their feeling of kinship
need not be told that. for them, if they
encourage, connive at or permit, tht
absentecism Of which the army complains
Hey are subject by tie late law of Con
gress to penalties that they will not car
to have inflicted. We believe that tn
Government is at last in earnest, and thu
it will neither admit Of excuses nor justif
trihing. The country is at war; ant
soldiers and civilians will be required t.
. regulate their conduct by that factl

Let us cxhort the Union men Of South
crn Illinois to stand their ground and show
a bold front. Coppcrheadism is numerous
and malignant; but it knows the conse-
auences which will follow its first blow.
We may assure all parties that the Govern
OF Of the State is determined that, before
Illinois is made as intolerant for slayery's
sake as Alabama or South Caro-
lima, he will try tits with the
power that is striving to make it SO; and
that, If he falls after exhausting his au-
1ho1ity and resources, the Federal Govern.
ment will intervene, aud take up the con,
test where he is forced to lay it down Sc
when treason rants and threatens il
be boldly met even where it ismost defiant
and where the friends Of the Union ar.

Underground Mail Routes.

VN~HAAAA
The rehels have a grapevine telegraph, not
very reliable to be sure, and there Is no doubt
that there isa regular correspondence between
their eympathizers in the Interior of our State
and their armies in Dixie, By means Of au
underground mail route carried on By female
rebels in Kentucky, and thus on through thu
United States mails. It Is well known, for
instance, that In Lebanon, Marion county, the
rebel women are constantly receiving letters
from the border counties through the mails
or otherwise, and answering them In the samc
why. This is effected through agents IT Ger
tain offices on the borders Of the State to
whom letters are directed enclosing others to
be sent across the lines aud remailed in the
Confrdcracy, or delivered as circumstances
will allow. This mode Of communication is
very common ut this time. We are assured
that there is scarcely mail arriving at Lebanon
from Bnrksville, Cumberland county, or Som
erses, Pulaski county, that does not contain
letters for active female rebels in that town.
This maj all be proper familF or friendly cor
respondencc, but we cannot resist the opinion
thai much important information Is thus sent
forward to the rebel leaders, and intelligence
Of their contemplated inyasions received IN
return. Certain it is that the Lebanon rebels
are thoroughly posted in regard to the move
mcnts Of the rebels beyond our lines, and
hare for some time past been anticipating
their arrival, and rejoicing over the prospect
Of another raid into Kentucky.
