We see it stated that after vicksburg surrend-

written from Shelbyville, Tenn on the 18th ult.,
says that "Vallandigham declared, when there,
that his election depended upon the fate Of
Vicksburg." That dependence having entirely
failed, Vallandigham has probably concluded
that he must still remain in the prvate station"
There are two reasons given by the anti-draft
men why the draft should not be made One
is that it is impossible to put down the rebellion
by force Of arms and, therefore, that the war
should at once be stopped. The other is that
diers are necessary.
JEFF. Davis house, in Mississippi, has been
overhauled by some of our soldiers. Among
IoineI tninBs lOunu was 0ne library. Also
many letters showing that the conspiracy to
disrupt the Union had been in existence before
the election of Mr.. Lincoln. Letters from Pres
idents Buchanan and Pierce were discovered.
They showed no small obsequiousness toward
the mighty JEFF.

| 1t is feared the oyster crop this year will be
failure. The beds in the Chesapeake are al
most entirely destroyed, and as yet those in the
Virginia rivers cannot be approached. Fully
half OF the boats engaged in the trade have also
been destroyed since the war broke out. The
Baltimore packers have accordingly declined to
take contracts on specified terms
Among the Morgan prisoners at indianapolis
one was found with parole from Gen. Milroy in
his pocket, which was still undischarged. He
will probably be court martialed and shot
Another prisoner is deserter from the 66th In

His chance for long life is not bright one.
When the South said "Annex Texasl" the
againsti it. The Fugitive Slave law of 1850 and
the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854 were each
passed by Northern votes in obedience to South
ern dictation. Thus about half the Northern
people were constantly altering and modifying
their political opinions in order TO adapt them
to the supposed requirements of "our Southern
brethrenl" Never did apeople sacrifice so much
OF manly dignity and selfrespect to others ex-
actions as did usual majority of Northerners
crafty, OF at least to placute the Southerners
Sam, why don't you speak to mass, and tell
him to lay up treasures in heaYen?" "What
for? What the use of laying up treasures dere,
where he never see em again?"

that Vallandigham is not traitor, tell why

vessel for him TO run the blockade with, as she
did for Mason and Slidell?

Correspondents assert as a noticeable fact that
not dog was heard to bark as our army entered
lVicksburg. Probably, as Mr.. Mantiliui would
say, they had all gone to the @demnition bow

Let the Flag of the Union be restored-reared
alOft to float forever. Or when it falls, if fall it
must, let there be nothing around it but crum-
bling walls, and nothing above it but the angel
that shall speak the end of time and the begin
ing of feternity.-Hon. John BrOugh.
SYMPATHY WITH VALLANDIeHAM.- The Lounp-
er, in HarPers Weekly has scorching comment
on the speeches of Seymour and other politi-
clans in New York on the Fourth Of July

are dying for the rights of all the people, in their
