Col. GRIERsoN's OPINION OF THE REBEL
" CONFEDRRAOE."--Oo GRIERsoN, who
has recently made the most successful and
daring raid of the war, riding through
eight hundred miles of rebel territory,
gives the following as the result OF his
observations, in speech in New Orleans !:
In passing through the Confederacy
have had good opportunity to form a
correct opinion of its strength. That
strength has been over estimated. They
have neither the armies nor the resources
we have given them credit for. and we
have been greatly deceived in regard to
the means and power of the rebels. Pass.
ing through their country, (and the pass
age was not very difficult one,) | found
thousands OF good Union men, who are
ready and anxious to return to their ALE
glance the moment they can do so with
safety to themselves and families. They
will rally round our old flag by scores
whenever our army advances. I eonld
have brought away thousand with me.
who were anxious to come-men whom
found fugitives from their homes. hid in
the swamps and forests, where thew are
hunted like wild beasts by the rebel con-
scription officers with bloodhounds. Hay-
ing visited them in their own homes. I
have founded my belief upon what heard
and saw there, that the day is not far dis
tact when We shall witness the downfall
oi the rebellion"

THE DRY ToRTUGAs.- was re-
port last week that VALLANDIGHAM had
been sentenced to the Dry Tortugas. This
is large fertilization now in construction
by the Government on Tortugas Islands,
off the coast of Florida, near Key West,
and all persons thus sentenced are forced
to labor OF the works, without any dis
elimination as to former rank or station.
A number of soldiers are now there under
sentence of one and two years, for various
acts of characterization.
The Ohio traitor would be better en-
ployed there than in making stump
speeches to aid JET. DAVIS at the North,
but we apprehend there is no truth in the
report concerning his sentence.

THE CHIvALRY OF EGYPT.-Seventy four
manumitted negroes, former slaves of Sc
cessionists from Missouri, were stopped, a
few days since, after they had crossed the
Mississippi at Mllersville, near Quincy,
and robbed of all the arms and money they
had, and then turned loose. The robbers
were Illinois copperheads. The negroes
have since enlisted in Governor Andrews
regiment.

GEN. BURNsIDE's AUTHORITY AS THE PREsI-
DENTS AGENT.
Now, the question which I am called
upon to decide is, whether Gen. Burnside,
as an agent of the Executive Department
of the Government, has transgressed his
authority in ordering the arrest Of Mr..
Vallandigham. If the theory of his coun-
sci is sustanable, that there can be no lie
gal arrest except by warrant based on an
affidavit of probable cause, the conclusion
would be clear, that the arrest was illegal.
But do not think l am bound to regard
the inquiry as occupying this narrow base.
General Burnside, by the order of the
President, has been designated and ap.
pointed to take the military supervis.
ion of the Department of the
Ohio, composed Of the States of
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Michigan. The precise extent of bis au
thority in this responsible position is not
known to the Court. 1t may, however,
be properly assumed as fair presumption,
that the President has clothed him with
all the powers necessary to the efficient
discharge of bis duties in the station, to
which he has been called. He is the rep.
resentative and agent of the President,
within the limits of his Department. In
time OF war, the President is not above
the Constitution, but derives his power
expressly from that instrument, declaring
that be shall be Commsnder-in-Chief of
the Army and Navy. The Constitution
does not specify the powers he may right
fully exercise in this character, nor are
they defined by legislation. No one de-
MES, however, that the President, in this
character, as invested with very high
powers, which it is we'll known have been
exercised on various occasions during the
present rebellion. A memorable in
stance of its exercise is seen in the

The Truth Let Out About WAR
DGsssCcr;ayS.

We find in the Cleveland Leader Of Tues.
day, September 20, speech made by A. g..
Riddle, NJ G. from The Cleveland District
The Leader says Of this speech: This speech
is one of the strongest Of the campaign. ."--.
ITO every voter, 10 every citizen. to every
soldier and to every soldiers friend, We
commend careful reading Of this exposi-
ton"
In this speech we find the following pass
age:
"Who has injured Democrats? Did thev
not furnish all the traitors, and Foment and
arm the rebellion and give it place and op.
portunity? Haven't we tried to hire them
TO be loyal, and paid them in places and hon
ors Tor their patriotism? Haven't we thrust
by our own noble and unsoilea ones to make
place for them? Was not the brave and sa :.
gacious and true man, but now on this stand
[Governor Densou, ,uae'y pushed from the
Executive Chair, that sacred political fee
might have the place, merely because he was
better than his party? And ho too, is now
put by, at the demand OF Democrats, and still
another IS to be ell lsvated!'
Hired them to be loyal? Do you hear
that, you War Democrats? You are hired !!
Your new associates say this Of you! The
Republicans are tho unsoiled and noble OF the
Union party! You War Democrats are the
hired, are the ignoble, soiled members! Tod,

sober, earnest truth from your new friends!

Democrats, Don't Forget.

That on next Tuesday you are CALI
cd upon to decide one Of the most i'm
portant political contests in which the
American people were ever engaged.
Don't fail to make provision for bring
ing out every Democratic -oter. At
tend Democratic meetings in crowds,
and let your strength be SEEN. Rea-

of your confessed party opponents,
and with those who are in doubt
Show them that Democrats Inaugural
ted every measure which made our
once proud country great and honora-
Bile, and its unburdened people free,
happy, prosperous, sociable and inde>
pendent. Show them that whenever
the opposition to Democracy have sue
ceeded in acquiring power in the gov
ernment, they have made the people
justly fearful and uneasy, from the
days of the Alien and Sedition laws
down to the passage and enforcement
of The oppressive, and unconstitution-
al Conscription act, the liberty-steal.
ing Habeas Corpus Indemnity Bill,
and the wantonly extravagant and
corrupt administration of the Govern
ment at the present day. Show them
how those entrusted with the powers
of the Government have granted priv
ileges, positions, and contracts to dis
honest and unworthy recipients, by
which the people are made to suffer
incalculable loss. Show them that
you are honest, that the time for rails
ing an excitement for party adyanta-
ges has gone by, and that unless a
change of administration is effected
speedily, the country is LOST.
Now is the time that every honest.
intelligent man must FEEL that unless
check is imposed npon the present
conduct of affairs we will soon have
neither liberty nor property for the
Constitution to protect; and that III
the anarchy and confusion which mus
inevitably follow, life itself will be un
safe and undesirable. Then friends Of
the Union, friends of liberty, friends
of law and order, arouse to your duty,
and let all conservative, well-meaning
men lay aside old feelings of hostility
| (which is a small sacrifice for so great
a result) and unite to overthrow the
Ultraists both of the North and the
South. Then peace on the basis Of
a restored Union, a return of the peo'
ple's rights, with the good times we
were wont to enjoy, will be the happy
consequence.

But If the people suffer themselves to
be cheated as they did in 1860, then
woe and desolation will continue to
fill the land. We implore our coun-
trymen to be mindful of what they do
at the coming election.
FELLOW CITIZENS: All that is ven
cradle, all that is great, all that is
good in our institutions, have been
overthrown ruthlcssly overthrow
and trampled under foot by the present
Administration, and our people stand
to-day upon the cataract of nations,
over which SO many Republics have
been driven and dashed to atoms; and
shall we heedlessly take the fatal leap,
in the vain hope that we may stop
half way down? Let us retrace our
steps while yet we may, and restore
that venerable, great and good gov
ernment which we received from the
hands of Washington and his compa>
triots, and which cost them the tolls
and blood Of seven years war to es-
tablish. We firmly believe there is
yet time to save the Republic if the
people will but come to the "Rescue-
REscuE-RESCUE."
Let US then make one grand, one
glorious effort upon next Tuesday, the
18th of October, and all may yet be
we'll. Let not any man then, who
loves his country, be absent from the
polls on that day. No earthly consid-
esation can compensate US for the loss
of liberty. 1t therefore becomes ne
cessary to lop off the Despot's hands
who holds our freedom beneath his
grasp. Let us prove ourselves the
worthy sons of patriotic sires, by re-
deeming our venerated institutions
from the chains and fettcrs our rulers
are now binding around us.
