from Gen. Corcoran.

NEW UKk, AprII ~
A letter from Gen. Corcoran is published
relative TO the late unfortunate collision at
Sufiolk, which terminated in the death OF Lieut..
Col. Kmball. The General gives full state
ment of the occurrence, and alleges that Lieut..
Col. Kimball was not on duty at the time and
was not justified in violently attempting to ar
rest the progress OF his commanding officer,
who was in the performance of his duty in
visiting the outposts. Gen. Corcoran, while
regrettiDg the disaster, states that the attack
made upon him rendered the action which he
took an imperative necessity.

On LIBERTY. By John Stuart Mill. Boston:
Ticknor & Fields. 12mo. PIP. 223. For sale
in this city by Ii. l.. Davis.
Since Milton wrote his tractate ''On the
"Lberty of Unlicensed Printing" no English
man has appeared more worthy to take up this
high theme than Mr.. Mill. Like Milton he
has knowledge of affairs as well as books. He
has the rare power to grasp thousand details
without overlooking the principle on which
they all depend. In his system of Logic"
he has submitted the process of reasoning to
profounder analysis than any other since Aris-
totle's. In the principles of Political Econo-
"my,' he has brought together and wrought
into an ineligible form the discoveries of two
generations of thinkers. In these diverse
works, he has exhibited that rare combination,
shared in the same degree by none of his coun-
trymen of this generation, of capacity for orig
inal thought and for the clear Interpretation
of his own or another's thought. The English
people led by a blind though unerring instinct,
felt that right and justice were repudiated by
the American secession. Mr.. Mill was one Of
the few Englishmen, who sac through all the
mists of excitement ard misrepresentation, the
truth in this matter, as it win stand in history.
The idea of liberty has steadily unfolded in
larger meanings from age to age. Slavery,
which was once universal, now finds itself out
lawed save in Africa and America, and on this
continent rallies its failing powers for last
desperate contest with advancing civilization.
Persecution for religious opinion, which no
rigor of experience could compel the New
England Puritans to forego, has ceased. The
tyranny Of rulers is no longer TO be greatly
dreaded. Instead of that, it is the tyranny of
majorities against which safeguards are now
chiefly sought and it is against the sometimes
informal but no less imperious tyranny Of So
ciety that Mr. Mill protests. The moral slave
ry, which condemns a man to lifelong hard la
Dor for the sake of the vain shows fifty named
appearances" and the social persecution
which makes him an exile at home for opin-
ions sake, have taken the place of the crude
physical letters and torture of day gone by.
This conservative intolerance is undeniably
the only means of selEprotection granted to
society. There is the difficulty. How shall
society protect itself, without infringing upon
the rights of individuals? This question I'M
derles the warmest discussions of modern
times. 1t makes itself felt in this great earth
quake of civil war. We of the North are at
variance among ourselves, respecting the
rights of rebellious minority. In general
terms, Mr. Mill denies the right Of commli-
nifty to interfere by legislative enactment or by
active public opinion with any act concerning
only the actor This is not new principle.
Its practical application to the vexed problems
of modern society has been Systematically
made by Mr.. Mill Tor the first time.

probably little foundation as a result of the
fight at kelly's Ford on Thursday last:
Twenty Yankee prisoners were brought to
this city by the Central train yesterday even--

that the enemy were repulsed five successive
times in their efforts to cross the river, and
finally gave up the undertaking. Their loss is
estimated at from twenty-five to thirty in
killed and wounded, besides those captured
and brought down last night. Our loss was
one horse killed and one soldier slightly wound

THE CASE OF VALLANDIGHAM

This is what the lawyers call lead
ing case. If the principles of free gov
eminent asserted in the Constitution o.
the United States have any VITALITY
personal liberty and private right arr
hereafter to be treated with even the
outward observances of respect in Yam
keedom-the case of Vallandigham pre-
sents every point upon which free men
could possibly make free fight. He
now represents in his own person--free
speech, the habeas corpus, the trial by
jury. and the supremacy of the civil au-
thority-if all these can be sent to the
"Dry Tortugas," the question naturally
arises, what is left behind.
All that is left, in which we have any
interest, is the example and the warn
ing. We live under the same Consti-
tuition, we profess the same principles OF
civil liberty-let us uphold them in
practice, and require of all our rulers
a strict observance of them all; and let
us constantly reject the plea OF military
necessity as an excuse for the violation
of the rights Of the citizen whether OF
person or property.
1t is we'll to learn even of ornr enemy.
