part of the church with rail- and the rowdies

The scoundrels then went into the church, scat.

This assault, was on account of the preacher let

great attack on Braggs' army, so this one,

herald, but which he has been steadily pre-.

remembered, was over distance of 200:

by general order from Gen. Burnside. Mean.

On Saturday morning Mr.. Pugh, counsel 70,
Mr. Vallandigham, made application in the u
States Court, Judge Leavitt presiding, for awrii
OF habeas corpus for his release, briefly arguing
the case, by citing authority, &c. Judge Leaviti
stated that IL was the settled practice of the U.

Judge Leavitt further remarked, that 1t was a
question whether il was the duty of the Court to

As an act of comfy and courtesy, the Clerk was
directed TO notify Gen. Burnside that the appli-
cation was pending, and would be heard at nine
o'clock Monday morning.-O2eUe Herald.

FILLED TIE GAP.

BY the Experiment we learn that Hon. W.
P. Noble and Hon. A. B. Jackson Of Bucyrus
filed the gap at the Norwalk meeting on the
9th, occasioned by the absence of Vallandig-
ham. As TO the speech of Jackson, some idea
can be formed from the following language
which he is reported to have used in recen
speech at Mansfield, when speaking of Gen. Has
calls order:
"The man who regards that order is a cowarC
and a dogl a man Sto tconld o6cy any order from
Lincoln, Burnside or Hascall, is a ddmndbte co,O-
ard, and unworthy of being descendant Of our
forefathers. loathe, detest, hate them"

General Banks has generally pursued isnien,
policy toward the rebels in N. O., 80 much
so that all accounts have represented then, n,
growing bold and defiant. As upholders of the
most rigorous measure against all traitors, we
have deprecated and denounced this course as
calculated 10 bring the authority of the Govern.
ment into disrespect and contempt. But sew
eral OF the later orders by general Banks are
such that We can heartily commend. On the
10Th ultino an order was issued that all regis.
tered enemies of the United States should leave
the Department upon the 18th day Of Nav.
These Registered enemies" it will be remem-
bered, had been thus elassed by General Butler
while he was in command. Another order OF
April 29th says that any person convicted OF
furnishing supplies to the enemy of the United
States in arms, shall at once suffer death. This
is peremptory and severe but Just. Nothing
else viii avail. Another order of the same day re.
quires that q. W. Bettertow, convicted of yio-
lating the regulations concerning trade, shall
pay fine oftwenty thousand dollars to be
appropriated to the improvement ofthe City Of
New Orleans, and to one years Imprisonment
at hard labor in Fort Pickens. That reads like
Butler. An order of April 23d speaks of the
impresement into the rebel army Of ofneeroes and
slaves, and adds:
Negroes who desire to escape the intended
couscription in the rebel army-whether slaves
or free-will follow the flag Of the Government.
