In answer 10 the resolutions Of the Albany

sympathy for Vallaudigham, President Lin

addressed to pnbIic meeting in criticism OF
the course Of the Administration. and in con
demnalion of the military orders Of the Gener-

if this assertion Is the truth and the whole
truth. If there was no other reason for the ar
rest. then eoncede that III. arrest was wrong;
hut the arrest as understand it. was made
for very diff-rent reason. Mr. Vallandig
ham avows his hostility to the war on the part
of the U..ion ard his arrest was made because
he was labaring. with some effect, to prevent
the raising of troops. to encourage desertions
from the army, and to leave the rebellion with
ont an adequate military force to suppress
it.
He was not arrested because be was dam
aging the political prospects Of the Admin
stration, or The personal interests Of the com
manding General, but because he was dawag-
ing the army. upon the existence and vigor OF
which the life Of the nation depends. He was
warning upon the military. ard this gave the
military constitutional jurisdiction to lay hands
upon him. IF Mr.. VaIandigham was not

Standard, who at the commencement
of the war ignored party and took a
firm stand for the Union, but who
during the last six months has man

espoused, has Topped entirely round,
endorsed the platform adopted by
the Convention held at Columbus on
the 11th, run up to his masthead the
ticket there nominated, and thrown
himself unreservedly into the arms
of the man he denounced as a
TRAITOR" when the series of acts a.

that earned him the appropriate APP

THE NEWS.

The news the last few days has
been quite exciting. The rebel ad-
vance into Pennsylvania and Mary
land. for some time threatened, has
become a reality, and that a consid-
cradle rebel force is now devastating
portions of those States Is certain,
though from the confused and contra
dictory mass of dispatches receiv-
ed it is impossible to learn the ex-
act facts. There Is of course a great
panic in the regions occupied and
Immediately threatened, but the Ia
test intelligence seems to indicate
that the affair is not so serious or
the invading force near so large as
1T first represented. Hagerstown,
Nd, and Chambersburg and Car
Isle, Pa, are said to be occupied,
and Harrisburg and Pittsburg are
in great danger, but at last advices
had not been taken. Active efforts
are being made to repel the inva-
ders and it is hoped they will prove
successful.
Since the movements noted above
commenced. there have been all
kinds of reports in regard to the To-
cality and operations Of HooEer's
army and the main body Of Lees ar
nv. Little is certainly known OF
either, except that Hooker has
changed his base of operations, and
that the movements making are
likely to lead to another general en-
gagement somewhere in the neigh
borhood of the old Bull Run battle
field.
The rebel force now operating in
Pennsylvania and Maryland, came
down the Shenandoah valley, drove
out our small force at Martinsburg.
Winchester and several other
points, and crossed the Potomac
somewhere in the vicinity of VIII
Transport. A severe battle occur
red at Winchester, resulting in the
retreat of our forces to Harper's
Ferry, after sustaining a loss OF
some 1000 men with a considerable
quantity of supplies, &c It is since
