vALLANDIGHAM REFUSES TO
VOTE A DOLLAR TO CARRY
ON THE WAR.
In speech delivered at Cooper In
stitute, New York, on the I'd Of No
vember, 1860, vallandigham said
"If any one or more Of the States Of
the Union should, at any time secede-
for reasons of the sa6Fciency and justice
Of achich, before God and the great tritu-
nal of history, they alone may judge
much as should deplore it, l NEVER
WOULD, AS A REPRESENTATIVE
IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNI
TED STATES, VOTE ONE DOLLAR
OF MONEY WHEREBY ONE DROP
OF AMERICAN BLOOD SHOULD
BE SHED IN A CIVIL WAR"
In a card published in the Cincin.
natl Enquirer, on the 10th ofNovem.
ber, 1850, referring to the above de.
claration, he says:
"And I 'no,r deliberately repeat ana
re-o6frm it, res0lrsd, though Istand alone
though all others yield and fail a,cOy,
to cit good to the last moment Of ms
public IJs."-Page 81 ofthe Record.

vallandigham Guilty of FaIsehood.

Vallandighams record is copied en-
tire by the Richmond Dispatch, whose
editor comments as follows ON a por-
ton Of it.:
"a portion of the above, the Rich
mond Dispatch considers very strange
statement. 1t is to the effect that ne
(Vallandigham) while in the Confede-
rate States, did not meet with a sim
Gle person who was not resolved to
perish rather than yield to the pres
sure of arms; but that every person
he conversed with expressed himself
willing, if the Yankees would with
draw their troops, to discuss the terms
of reunion. We do not know who
were the persons with whom Mr.. V.
conversed. We are sure we have
conversed with many more South
erners than he over did, and we never
heard the first one yet speak Of re-
union. He has certainly made agreat
mistake somehow or other"

TIME STILL MOVES ON.

Time still moves on with noiseless pace,
And we are loiterers by the way;
Few win and many lose the race,
For which they struggle day by day;
And even when the goal is gained,
How seldom worth the toll II seems
How lightly valued, when obtained,
The prize that fiatte ring Hope esteemed
Submissive to the winds of chance,
We toss on Life's inconstant sea:
This billow may our bark advance,
And that may leave it on the Ice;
This coast, which rises fair to view,
May thick be set with rocky mail,
And that which beatles o'er the blue,
Be safest for shattered sail,
The cloud that, like little hand,
Slow fingers when the morning shines,
Expand its volume DER the land,
Dark as q forest sea of pines;
While that which cast yapory screen
Before the azure realm Of day,
Rolls upward from the lowland scene,
And from the mountain-tops away,
OIL fond deceitl to think the flight
OF time will lead to pleasures strange
And ever bring some new delight
To minds that strive and sigh for change;
Within ourselves the secret lies,-
Let seasons vary as they will;
Our hearts would murmur though our skies
Were bright as those Of Eden still.

COLUMBUS, aug. OCn, 90.
To the Military Committee Of -
County, Ohio:
GENTLEMEN 1t is'important to the
State, as we'll as to individual sufferers,
that be advised at as early day as
practicable of the injuries committed
by Morgan and those under his COM
mand, from their raid through the
State. ..
l cannot think of any better means
means of obtaining this information
than by applying to the several Mill
tary Committees of the counties inter-
ested. have, therefore, to request
that you, either in person, or by some
trusty agents by you to be appointed,
Immediately pass over his route within
your county, and ascertain
1st. The name of every individual
sufferer.
Cd. The nature and character of
The loss
Sd. The amount or value thereof.
4th. The public property destroyed,
such as School Houses, Churches,
Bridges, Highways, &c.
9TH. The injury done to corporate
property, such as Turnpikes, Rail
roads and Canals.
You will please report the result OF
your Investigations to me at as early a
day as practicable. will from my
contingent fund, allow and pay a rea-
sonable compensation for the service
you may may render.
Respectfully yours,

service, the Board should, after notice
to the party, proceed TO reconsider its
action, and should set aside its former
Judgment, and annul the certificate Of
exemption granted. It's right to do so
on proper showing is undeniable, the
act Of determining upon the accepta-
bility of the substitute being judicial
in its character, and subject to revision
and reversal. The certificate of exempt
ion having been thus violated, the par
tvs original liability under the draft
remains. JAS. B. FRY,
Provost Marshal General.
THE ONLY SON.
The clause concerning the only son,
liable to do military duty, Of a widow
dependent upon his labor for support,
is thus construed by the provost Mar
shal General:
"a widow may have several other
sons, but if they are not liable to do
military duty then the particular son
on whom she is dependent for support
will be exempt: but if her other sons
are liable to do military duty, the fact
that she is dependent on the labor
of a particular son for support, will not
exempt him from draft"

liens was issued by the Provost Mar
shal General to-day:
War Department, }

Washington D. G., Aug. 6, 1863. }
cIRcULARNo. 65.
1t is apprehended that Circular No
65, from this Office, in relation to ex
empting men from the draft on the plei
of alienage, is not fully understood by
Boards Of Enrolment. Wherever tn,
fact ofalienage is clearly established
exemption must be granted but whel
the Board has any doubt of the matter
the case must be referred through tn
Provost Marshal General for the deci
sion of the Department Of State. Un
til such decisions shall have been oh
tanned, all action in the cases shall b
suspended. The certificate ofthe Stat
Department shall be deemed conclusiv
evidence, and the question of liabilit.
or non liability to the draft shall be de
cided by the Board of Enrolment il
accordance Herewith.

The statement of the Buffalo Adver-

claim that he left voluntarily, on ac-

Editor Blade II am just informed
by the Captain Of one Of our propel'

Vallandigham left there and retired
to the country, was because the pro-

The following "Opinion' in relation

two or more sons of aged or infrm pa
rents subject to the draft, the father, OF
if he be dead, the mother, may elect
which son shall be exempt" ispublish-
ed and will hereafter govern:
"The only son ofaged and infrm pa.
rents dependent, &c, is absolutely ex-
empt; but where there are two sons
both are subject to draft until an elec-
ton is made by the parent, and the
name of the one elected should be re.
moved from the list. After the draft is
made the persons drafted are no longer
subject to draft, but to duty, and
parent cannot secure the practical ex
emption of two sons from military duty
by waiting until one is drafted, ano
then electing to exempt him"
