much reason to believe that Washington owes
her safety at tie present moment to prudent
ial and political, rather than to military con-
siderations, and that the capital Of the North
ern Confederacy, able to effect the easy and
f~ruitless crime of drowning whole provinces
by breaking down the bank af a mighty river,
is incapable Of defending her archives, her
public buildings, and the seat of her Govern
ment. The promised vengeance against
Charleston languishes and evaporates in empty
threats. Savannah, taken with so much ease
by the British in the War of Independence,
resists firmly and efectually. Port Hudson
has repulsed an attack, and the Mississippi
itself has turned traitor, and, by the way of
set.of for the inundations Of Southern terri
tory, has filed up and rendered useless the
canal which was to carry the Fe deral gun
boats to the other side of Yicksburg. The
Confedsrates threaten Fort Donelson, and a
new invasion of Kentucky is seriously apprs.
hended.
Under these gloomy auspices the month of
March has closed, and the period will shortly
arrive when the summer heats will again lend
their powerful cooperation to the cause of
the North. No one can presume to say what
are the reverses and vicissitudes which for
tune, not yet satisfied with the suferings of
the American people, has in store for either
party. But the information which has Just
reached us makes it ~abundantly evident, If it
were not so before, that the choice henceforth
for the South is between victory and exter-
limitation, for the North between peace and
ruin-ruin certain if the war is protracted, as
it easily may be, to a point which will leave
the President without q revenue and without
an army-ruin still more certain and complete
if the wicked aspirations of ~fanatical hate be
accomplished, and the central Government,
already triumphant over the liberties of the
North, shall obtain as the prize of success
the unenviable duty of holding down, under
the heel of military despotism, the struggling
and palpitating remains of what were once tho
Southern States.

During the night Gen. Hoekeri reformed his
army, and was ready for battle next day. The
fight began at 5 o'clock, and lasted 9 hours.
At the4end Of that time Gen. Hooker held a
very strong position ind felt perfectly safe.
His right rests on the Rapidan at Ely Ford
and his left on the Rappahannock. The los
ses have been very..heavy on both sides. The
result thus far IS not decisive but it is believed
the rebels can only save Themselves by retrea-
ting.
The London Ncaos says it is suspected that
the Government at Washington has given Sc
cret instructions to its officers, and thinks the
instance of Adams giving q permit to enc ves-
sci supports that suspicion. 1t says aid given
to the rebels by British merchants by furnish
ing supplies, gives no good grounds for ex-
Guiding British vessels from commerce, and
if such an attempt is made by Admiral Wilkes,
the British Government will put it down.
Inquiries had been made in Parliament as
to the course Government intended to pursue
on American affairs. Palmerston. postponed
answering.
There is a rumor that Government would
give ND the steamer Alexandria for lack of
sufficient evidence
It is reported that Government will prevent
further shipments from Ireland of organized
tgangs of men, ostensibly for railroad purposes,
but believed for the northern armies.
The Government declined to send a mail
agent by tie steamer for Matamoras, and rec
commented them not to carry the mails. The
Times denounces this as pusilanimous and
trucking to the designs of the Federal Conn
missioners. It calls aloud for a stand to be
made against further encroachment on the
rights of ~neutrals.
1t denounces the seizure of the Dolphin as
worse thar that of the Pcterhof, and says
America relies on the re l~uctance of England
to engage in hostilrtics.
1t is reportsdfha Napoleon is greatly of
Tended att ieilities given by Adams for
the CONVEX arms, ets., to the Next
cans.
Increasing apprehension is felt in Paris on
the Polish question. 1t is believed that if
the reply from Russia to the thres Powers be
unfavorable Napoleon will not hesitate to draw
the sword. Active naval preparations are go
ing on in the French navy yards.
Prince William of Denmark has accepted
the crown of Greece.

IM MENsE DEMOCRATIC GATH.
ERING AT MT. VERNON.
$4,000 Copperheads in
Council.

Tho largest reeting of any kind ever held
in Mt. Vernon, was that of last Friday. This
is admitted by men of all parties. A number
of citizens of this place attended the meeting,
and from them we gather these facts. The
procession was a little over two hours passing
a given point. Some idea of the immensely
of the crowd is given in tho fact that they
were obliged to erect four different stands FIR
speakers, in various parts of the town and the
crowd was SO great that not all then could
hear any of the speakers. Hon. G. L. VAL
LANDIGnAM, from one stand, Hon. CnAs.
TOILET, Esq, from another, Judge hartley
from another aud r J.. KENNY, Esq. from
another, were simultaneously each addressing
all who could hear their voices. There were
also speeches by Hon. s. 8. Cox, and Hon.
GEO. H. PENDLEToN. We shall probably
give a more detailed account of the meeting
when we receive the Mt. Vernon Banner.

An Incident i'm C.nnecsIc.t

1t is we'll known that, in the recent cleo
ton in Connecticut, soldiers who would vote
the Abolition ticket were allowed to go home
from the army and vote. Some Democrats
who were extremely anxious to sec home once
more, also pledgedthemselves to so vote, if they
could be allowed to return and see their friends.
One, by the name Of Randall, having a sick
mother at Danielsongille, ard wished TO soc
her once more ere she should pass from earth,
begged for q fu1ough ms a starving child would
beg for bread, and at last, when all other
means had failed, consented to pledge himself
to vote for Buckingham. He came home !:
saw mis- dying mother went to. Xii ingIy town
meeting voted for Buckinghan, as he had
to and then stood up in the town
house and related these facts.-Portsssouh On

To the Democracy of Ohio, and all others in
favor of the Union as 1t aods and the Con-
stitutiot as u is: -,
You are hereby notified that the Democrat
ic State Central Committee has designated

THE NEXT GOVERNOR
OF OHIO.

We believe that nearly every Democratic
paper in Ohio has given some opinion as to its
choice for the nomination for Governor at the
Convention to be held on the 18th of June
next. A large number ave expressed a
strong desire for the nomination of that bold
and fearless advocate of the rights of the
States and the lib critics Of the people, of "the
Constitution as it is and the Union as it was,
tie Honorable CLEMENT L. VALLANDIGHAM.
Others have urged the claims of JUDGE THUR-
MAN, who is known all over the State as a
sound Democrat and abundantly able to fill the
position of Governor if elected. A few others
have urged the nomination of Hon. HUaH j..
JEWETT, who a year ago last fall made a splen-
did canvass against the old imbecile Tod that
now disgraccs the position. The claims of all
have been urged by the press,-with but one
or two exceptions,-in a kindly spirit and
without any attempt to detract from the mer-
its. of either While not doubling the patriot
ism and ability of Judges THURMAN and JEW
EFT, It seems to us that VALLANDIGHAM
should receive that nomination, and we firmly
believe that he is the choice of a very large
majority of the Democracy of Ohio. When
the storm burst forth, when men were COM
PEELED by mobs yelling for blood, to either
remain silent or raise their voices up in ~servile
shouts at the behest of the war fend, when
our State Capitels and the National Capitol
were filing with troops, wild with excitement
and thoroughly imbued with a desire for blood
a1d destruction, when brave men scarce dared
to link against the plans that were then being
mas urated for the ruin that has followed
them, CLEMENT L. .VALLANDIGHAM
in his RI ce in the National House, of Repre-
sentatives, alone stood up and advocated meas.
ures that were intended and calculated TO stay
the carnival Of blood and desolation that have
for the past two years held high f~estiya,
throughout the land. Prosecuted, calumnia
ted, threatened, maligned and misrepresented
almost alone he Rithstood the storm of Adolf
ton fanaticism, and feaflessly as an American
Representative should, he denounced the poll.
cy of the Administration that brought on the
var and ever acted and expressed a determi
nation to staId BY. the Constitution and ere,
unequivoeally adhcres to the old Union with
all Its acts and compromises, and in the Hall.
of Congress demanded that all should stand
by it "to the last hour of their political or per
sonal existence"
Shall such a man now be deserted? Are
the Democracy Of Ohio ready to say that tn.
man who stood by them in hours of peri
and trial shall now be sacrificed at the demand
of Abolitionism? We think not. CLEMENT
l.. VALLA sDIanAM should and ptU receiv,
the nomination. With him as our standard
bearer next fall, the Democracy will go OF
triumphant, with their unfaltering reliance il
she man whom they kno,o they can trust il
any emergency. If nominated he will b.
elected. If elected the attempt of the AID
ministration to establish a military despotisn
in Ohio, will be efectually thwarted.
