SOUTHERN ACCOUNT OF vALLAED1eHAM's
RECEPTIoN.
The Chattanooga Rebel, of May 27th, has the
following account Of Mr.. Valiandigham's ar
rival in The Confederate lines:
Mr. yaliandigham has just arrived. He was
brought to our lines by flag OF truce, out the
nixe II for any such purpose. The Federats,
becoming alarmed, retired, leaving Mr.. Valian.

ground. When oar officers approached him he

not in the service OF the United states. Oh
learning his name and situation, ne was re-
ceiyed as an exile banished from his State, and
As such rendered the Inequalities OF the country
rs any foreigner SET king refuge or banished for
opinions sake. He was received by General
Mason, and escorted to headquarters without
any demonstration. There he was received by
Col. Stoddard Johnston, OF General Braggs
staff and by him conveyed in carriage 20
Shelbyville, where comfortable quarters were
provided for him. There was no demonstra-
ton, but everywhere he passed, those who had
heard of his coming greeted him kindly and
with silent token OF sympathy and respect.
"Nr. Vallandigham looks cheerful and seems
70 breathe easy on escaping from the Lincoln
despotism. He very properly desires to avoid
public demons trations and only asks that he
may find quiet refuge in our midst until such
time as the voice OF his people, relieved from
despotic Government, shall call him again to
their midst. He seems fully to realize the en-
barrassment Of his position, and will, beyond
doubt, be equal to its responsibilities. Dignitied
retirement and saclusion from all public mat
tiers will, to the minds OF all proper thinking
persons, and doubtless TO his own, be the best
course tor him TO pursue.
The same paper editorialiy says: " His tNal.
landighams) road, which leads up the steep
ascent Of the future, is direct and gas.lghted
all the way. 1t leads first out Of some Confed-
crate port to Nassau, thence to Canada, and
finally to the gubernatorial chair OF Ohio. The
return of Napoleon from Eiba was the signal
for q general reaction in France. Thousands
fiocked to him on the instant. Nothing could
keep the little corporal-bars nor iron, nor
prison nor island. He stood once more on his
native heath. The supersttious popular heart
chung to him and he triumphed. Let Mr.. VAL
iandigham's return be as speedy; let an absence
OF a single month find him issuing an address
to the people of his State from Lower Canada,
prcc!airning these things to them:
al, loyal citizen Of the Union, and sol
der thereof and of freedom, banished agains
law and constitution, thrown contrary to my
I Yhp Inns M a n " W
refusal to receive and recognize me establishes
before all meE my patriotism and my honor; I,
CT. Vailandigham, prosecuted, exiled, mobbed
and coerced by cowardly tyrants and by bayo-
nets, but not dead nor dumb, issue these words
and declare my self q candidate for GOvernoro of
Ohio"
THE effect would be magical It further
says his prospects for Governor of Ohio are
exceedingly fair. Heis the rebels style of man,
ard we admire HIM because from the start he
has been against the war"
