The Paris correspondent of the New
York Times writes:
The American Minister At Paris has col
lected enough evidence in regard to the
Rsppshsnnock, to satisfy him that this
vessel, if allowed to 60 to sea, ought, by
every fair construction Of international
law, to stand in the same relation to the
French government as the Alabama and
Florida do to the English government, and
he has therefore given written notice to
the French government that it will be held
responsible for sll damage she may do to
American commerce.
This official notice Of the American Min
lister at once gave an increased gravity to
the affair, and the Emperor, whose atten-
tion had been specially called to the sub
ject, assured the American Minister, in q
long conversation, that the international
lsW, whatever it should prove to be, should
be stringently executed.

The Ohio State Journal InCIlIng
MntAnY ]

The Ohio State Journal, which, in the
beginning of the war, avowed itself in
favor of disunion, and therefore of the
right of secession, is now endesvoring to
incite mutiny among the soldiers of the
0. n. G. After stating that the Cover
nors of the several States, who, in coniunc-
ton with BRoUGH, pledged a stipulated
number of soldiers to LINCOLN, had not
redeemed their pledge, leaving Ohio, with
her full quota, to bear alone the burden
which was to have been divided with
Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, it proceeds il
this disloyal manner
"Aud the question now is, has good faith
been observed by the Government in thi
regard towards our National Guards We
understand that some of these regiments
have been ordered from the entrenchment
al Washington direct to the front before Rich
mond We do not believe that the Ohit
National Guards we're subject 10 any such
orders, either by the torms OF their enlist
ment, or by virtue OF their mastering int,
the United States service under such pledge
as we're given them from official quarters
And Governor Brough owes it to the peop
Of Ohio to see to it that the pledges voluntari
" rendered 10 this matter he faithfully observ
ed by those on whose behalf the same wer
made.

WATCH Thennl

ut is for Governor Brough to watch that
the faith he reposed in President Lincoln is
not abused
So writes to the Ohio State Journal, an
officer of the 1924 o. n. G., whose regi-
ment, in violation of the proposal OF
BRoueH to LIScoLS,--in violation Of the
pledge of LINCOLN to BRoUeH,-a and with
an utter disregard of the assurances made
to the men by BRouGu and LINCOLN both,
has now been ordered to the front, The
officer continues "Of course it would
''be outrageous to send such troops as ours
entirely unacquainted with battalion
"drill-directly into the front with old vet
"erans. Disaster and disgrace would be
"likely TO follow, however brave the men,
'to say nothing of the injustice and breach
''of faith"
1t is interesting to hear a Republican
call on BRoueH to watch LINCOLN, lest he
abuse the faith reposed in him. There is
Just the same reason 10 beseech LIEcoLN
to watch the action of BRoUeH. The moral
is this Let men of all parties watch
BRoUeH and LINCOLN both.

WAR DEPARTNEST, WAsHISGToN, June ls -
To Major General Dix The following dis
patch lsom General Grant, dated yesterday
| o clock A. NJ at City Point has been re
ceved by this department.
The Ninth Corps this morning carried two
more redoubts inning part OF the delences
of Petersburg, capturing 400 prisoners. Our
successes are being followed up.
Our forces drew out from within fifty yards
Of the enemy $ intreuchments at Cold Harbor
and made flank movement ofabout 55 miles
march, crossing the Chickahominy and lanes
River, the latter 1000 feet wide and "a feet
deep at the point of crossing, and surprised
the eremy's rsar at Petersburg. This was
done without the loss of a wagon or piece of
artillery, and about l50 stragglers were pick
ed up BY the enemy In covering this move
menl Warren's Corps and Wilson's cavalry
had frequent skrmshing with the enemy,
each losing from fifty to sixty killed and wOun-
ded, but inAieting an equal if not a greater
loss upon the enemy
The 18th Corps (Smith's) were transferred
| from the White House to Bermuda Hundred
by the water, and moved out near Peters
burg The night of their advance they Eur.
prised or rather captured the very strong
works northeast of Petersburg before suth-
cient force could be got into them by the enc
my TO hold them. He was joined the day fol-
lowing this capture by the Second Corps,
which 10 turn captured more Of the enemy $
redoubts further east, and this corps was iol-
lowed by the 9th, with he result aoove stated.
All the troops are now up. Seven divisions
are covering the wagon trains, and they will
b. up tonight The enemy in their endeav-
ors 10 reinforce Petersburg abandoned their
intrenchments in front of Bermuda Hundred.
They no doubt expected troops from the moth
of the James river 10 take their place before
we discovered it, Butler took advantage OF
this, and moved force at once upon the rail-
road and plank road between Richmond and
Petersburg, which hope to remain in posses
sion Of Too much praise cannot be given
the troops and their commanders for ihs ener-
gy und lortitude displayed during the last
Eve days Day and night has been all the
same, no delays being allowed on any ac
count
Unofficial dispatches show that at clock
this morning the enemy still occupied Peters
burg. Major St Clair Morton, of the Engin'
GERS, was Killed in an assault yesterday, Nolh
ing to-day from Sherman or Hunter

The New York Tribune advises the Ad'

Secretary Stanton has issued goluminous
bulletins concerning recent engagements.
It reported that Johnson has, in all 100.
600 men, one half Of whom are veterans, and
that sherman's force is fun adequate to en-

There is a rumor that part of Shermans
force IS across the Cnatahootchee This needs
confirmation The probability is that decis-

The reported capture OF Petersburg turns
out to be premature. Beauregard has proba

Dayton, has the temerity to call Mr.. Valand-

estimation of this writer, that in order to be
courageous, one must shrink from personal
danger and aoat upon the tide of patronage
and power No man in the country has shown
so much genuine heroism and bravery as Mr..

YallRndIgham,a Return.


We gave notice yesterday Of the arrival on
Wednesday morning Of the Honorable Glenn
ent L. Yalandigham, at Hamilton, Ohio,
where the Democratic District Convention was
then being held His presence before the Con
ventiOn created general surprise and the most
unbounded enthusiasm. Every link between
himself and his iellow-citzens seems TO have
been strengthened by exile He spoke in the
public square at Hamilton, IN the same manly
vein, and IN the same spirit Of independence
aud patriotism that were bis charscteriatics
before he was kidnapped from his homo by
tho military power His martyrdom has not
cooled the ardor OF his patriotism nor en-
feebled the vgor OF his eloqueuce He was
banlshed for uuerinR truths that we're unpal-
atable to the Administration, aud he has mark
ed the day Of his return by repeating the 0t-
fence against tyranny. We do not know what
nctiJn the Administration propose to take in
regard to his return, but we are convinced
that popular opinion will protect him in the
/ exercise Of his rights as an American citizen
1 The Illinois Democratic State Convention
was in session yesterday when the tidlngs Of
! Vaandingham return we're made known. A
wild outburst OF cheering and enthusiasm
greeted the welcome intelligence. A re.olu
tiou was unanimously adopted, declaring
That we pledge ourselves to stand by Ohio
in protecting Clement L Vallandigham and
her citizens under the Constitution and the
laws The Constitution and the laws pro-
hibt the exile of an American citizen by ar
bitrsry power, and the Convention stands,
therefore, pledged to resist the re enforcement
Of the decree of banishment. Bat the same
obligation is part Of every American duty
to his country We all are pledged, by the
essence of our citizenship, to maintain the
liberties of the people against the assaults ol
despotism. uow false we have been to that
paramount duty OF a free people, the pro
tracted exile Of a champion OF the people will
attest. For more than year he has waited
[ among strangers for his own countrymen tc
do him Justice he has at last returned no
like Corlolauus, with an armed host to retail
ate upon injustice, but singyi TO vim iicate by
[ his presence, the liberties that in his person
have been wronged
We hope that every Democratic organization
throughout the country will echo the resolu
ton of the Illinois Convention. If the Dem
ocratic Central Committee of New York hav,
any public virtue-aay sense of what is due
to the honor and safety of Democratic princi
ples--they win assemble Immediately to pledgt
the Democracy of this State to 'stand by OhiC

The Return OF Mr.. valIsndig-
nam.

uaNAaAs
The return OF Mr.. VALLASpIeHAx has {
been the cause Of much surprise to his I
friends and Of amasement to his enemies.
Yet with free people it would have been
but an ordinary occurrence He only as
serted a plain, undeniable. constitutional
right. He would have asserted it long ago
it he had acted upon his own views o.
right aud policy
lie was arrested without authority; was ,
tined by an unknown aud illegal court; aud !
was bsnished for having freely criticised
the administration. No court of authori- |.
ty passed upon his case. The District
court declined jurisdiction, because LEX
WITT was TOO cowardly or subservient to
investigate the matter. The Supreme
Court could not reverse the decision Of
the military tribunal, because such a i
bunal was unknown to the law under
which it acted
Why then should Mr.. VALLAEDIGHAM
have remained in exile single day longer
than was the result of brute force9 There
was no reason in the world. He had had
no jury--s right guaranteed to the thief
and murderer. He had had no trial ac-
cording to law. His sentence was utterly
void
His arrest aud exile produced a great
sensation in the United States. But we
did not go far enough The people Of the
North should have gone into convention
in every county and demanded his imme.
diate release. II their demands had failed
they would have been justified in taking
up arms to compel it--ior the principle
involved was the very first principle OF .
free government When Mr. VALLANDIe.
HAM was illegally arrested and banished
a stroke was made at every mans personal
= liberty, and our country was handed ovei
to a despotism.
He has returned. Whether he will be
re arrested or not is thing we cannot pre-
dict We doubt whether the attempt will
be made. But one thing we do know
a Should the attempt be made, it will, il We
may judge from the temper of the publ,
mind, be regarded by the whole Democrat
, ic party OF the North and by others no
sold out to the present administration al
evidence of a settled purpose to fasten upor
this people a grinding, military despotism
and they will act accordingly. We ar
not ready to surrender our liberties. w,
j. are not yet prepared to bow down befor
i the edicts of any one man. We feel tha
Mr. VALLANDIaHAM's case is the case o
e every man, and if he can be kidnapped 0
illegally banished, or confined. SO can al
e be, when of sufficient importance to attrac
the attention of our tyrauts.
