There is story circulating in Naples that
mason there was visited in the night by two
strangers who took him in a carriage, blind
fold, to strange honse where he was led up
stairs and ordered on pain of death to make
hole in the wall of chamber sufficiently
large to admit coffin. This done, coffin
was brought in, and a young lady handsomely
dressed was dragged Into the room and forced
into it. The lid was screwed down and the
coffin was walled up by the mason, who was
then again blindfolded and taken to the sea
beach, paid 10 piastres, and told that he might
tell all he knew. He did tell the police, but
could not describe the house.

VaIIandignam wrfteth agafny

From Windsor the "exile' again address
es his friends.'' He seems to be sensible
that the people of Ohio are very willing he
should stay in Canada He still advises op-
position to the government, and urges those
who sympathize" with him, to sstand firnl''
and anever yield up principles OF organiza-
tion." Loyal men will more than ever des-
pise the wretched author of the following:
DEMOCRATS OF Ono You have been
beaten-by what means it is idle now to in
quire. 1t is enough that willie tens of thou
sands of soldiers were sent or kept within
your State, or held inactive in camp elsewhere
ovote against you, while the Confederate en-
emy were marching upon the capital of your
country. You were beaten; but nobler battle
for constitutional liberty and free popular gov
ernment never was fought by any people,
And your unconquerable frmness and cour-
age, even in the midst of armed military
force, secured you these first of human rights
free speech and Tree ballot. The conspira-
cy of the 5th Of May fell before you. Be
not discouraged despair not of the Republic.
Maintain your rights !; stand firm to your po-
sition; never yield up your principles or
your organization Listen not to any who
would have you lower your standard in the
hour of defeat No mellowing of your opin-
ions upon any question, even of policy, will
avail anything to concliate your political foes.
They demand nothing less than an absolute
surrender of your principles and your organi-
cation. Moreover, if there be any hope for
the Constitution or liberty, it is in the Demo
cratic party alone; and your fellew citizens,
in little while longer, will see it. Time
and events will force it upon all, except those
only who profit by the calmities of their coun-
try. & esaa2''
thank you, one and all, for your sympa-
thies and your suffrages. Be assured that
though still in exile for no offence but my po-
litical opinions and the expression of them tc
you in peaceable public assembly, you will
find me ever steadfast in those opinions, and
to the State and country of my birth.

lockout Mountain.

A dispatch from Chattanooga on the 9th
says:
A detachment under Col. Stanley of the
18th Ohio Regiment foatcd fifty pontoons
down the river in face of the Rebel sharp
shooters, landed at Browns Ferry, and sur
prised ano drove the Rebels from the ridge on
the south side, opening communication W tn
Bridgeport. 2eoo men from Gen. Palmer's
division then caused the rebels to evacuate
lookout Mountain-which they did with
little show of fight. Our loss was killed,
Is wounded.

[From an Occasional Correspondent
Letter from New England.
w HAVEN, CoNNEcTIcUT,(
October "a. 1863. {

NNiOOSi AOOC-
DEAR DEMocRAT To an Ohioan, reared
in the nurture and admonition of the doc
trne that all men are created free and equal,
New England is a spot where the 1ife-giving
light of freedom shines brightest, and where
its glory is undimmed by single cloud. To
him it is a Mecca, well worthy of a pilgrim
age And right nobly has New England
earned her heritage. All honor to the noble
men and women, who have placed her in the
enviable position which she now occupies
She stands to-day the very center of civiliza-
ton and human freedom, on the Western con-
tinent
In my admiration of New England, and
her glorious free principles, I have not for
gotten that another State, "out West" from
here, has very recently dealt terrible stun
ming blow to the enemies of popular govern
ment and free Institutions. I allude to my
native State, Ohio. That staggering blow
echoed among New Englands hills, causing
"Copperheads'' everywhere, to fear and
tremble in view of the judgment to come
Its effect upon the Copperhead journals here
away, was most remarkable. Finding that the
people of Ohio and Pennsylvania had pro-
nounced most damaging verdict upon trea-
son, all at once, these hypocritical sheets pro-
nounce Mr.. Vallandigham to be as sound a
Union man as can be found in the entire
North! So says the Providence (R.I u Post.
Unfortunately, however, for these worthy
gentlemen, Mr.. vailandigham's letter to Col.
Inshall, of the Eighth Alabama Regiment,
don't help that view of the case at all.
The truth is, every intelligent man h7ao,os
that Mr.. V. is traitor. He may now set him-
self down on the left bank of Detroit river,
and when the waters of the great lakes have
all gone by, perhaps Ohio will ask him to be
her Governor. ~
I hope Uncle Abraham, in the goodness of
his heart, and the plenitude of his power,
will now let MI. Yallapdigham go back to
Ohio. He certainly needs the consultations of
".his friends, I presume the benefits of
such an interview would be reci; rocal. In
the face of such a crushing defeat he GER
tainly would never utter traitorous word
again. If he is to remain a martyr on the
border" as his friends call him, would it not
be well for the Government to catch few of
his friends and make some little martyrs
All, that was glorious news that came dare
ing over the western wires about midnight Of
Tuesday, Oct. 13, 1868.
