Vailandigham Comedies.

~ VALLANDIGHAM has, it seems,
come somewhat TO his senses, and, be-
fore passing beyond the lines Ct the
Union army, confessed that his treatment
was necessary and just, SO long as the
policy of the country is TO restore the
Union by war. The Murireesboro cor.
respondent Of the Cincinnati Commerci
al, in speaking Of the transfer of the
Ohio traitor through the rebel lines,
says:
The bearing of Hon. Mr.. Vallandgham
throughout the whole affair was modest sensible
and dignified. In conversation with your cor
respon dent, he candidly admitted that the
dealings of the Government with himself were
necessary and iustifable. If the Union were
to be restored by war, he admitted that in that
case the Government would be obliged to use
all the physical force of the loyal States, and
could tolerate no opposition. This. however,
he declared would be at the expense of the free
principles of our Constitution whereas, he
thought that by the adoption Of his plan not
only might these principles be conserved, but
the Union of the States ultimately restored"

ports expressing the utmost confidence
in GRANTS ability TO reduce the place,
