The rebel raid into Ohio under yallandig
ham, exploded when Gen. Burbridge whippet
and dispersed Morgan's forces. We learn
from high military authority, that 1t was agreot
long while ago, among the Knights Of tht
Golden Circle in Illinois, that Vallandighau
should make his appearance in Ohio stimuli
taneously with Morgan, who was to make an
other raid into Kentucky. Sure enough, wher
Morgan appeared in Kentucky Vallaudigham
sounded his bugle-call in Ohio. But, 10 and
behold, the "K. Of tho G. c." did not rally,
Why Because Morgan's expedition wa.
promptly checked and driven in dismay out OF
the State by the gallant action of Gen. Bur.
bridge.
This contemplated rebel uprising in Ohio
failed exactly in the same way that the Cop
perhead riot in New York failed-Jor rant Of
armed rc6eI support. The defeat of Lee at Get
tysbarg frustrated and defeated the New York
rioters and causes the leaders to run away,
some 10 Canada, somo to Albany, and others to
this city. The defeat of Morgan exploded the
Vallandignmplot, and has left poor Val. Gat on
his back, feeling upwards for the ground, and
crying aloud for somebody to come and arrest
him: Coppcrheads everywhere are dismayed
to think that Mr.. Lincoln does not step down
from his high position and assume the duties
Of constable, and go to Ohio and arrest Val
landigham.
We will venture to assert that Mr.. Lincoln
docs not know that vailandigham has returned
to Ohio. There Is every reason why he should
believe that Val. has not returned, because not
a single officer in tho State of Ohio, military
or civil, from Gen. Helntzelman aud Gov.
Brough, down to tho humblest of their subordi
mates, ThoN dutyh Is 10 arrest kaoaOn violdtors of
The tdp, have ever notified the President of the
United States Of The arrest of vallandlgham In
Ohio or anywhere else within the limits of the
United States.
The fact that these officers referred to have
never done so, In the regular performance of
their duties, is the best reason In the world
why the President should believe, and assume,
that Vallandlgham Is not, and never has been
In Ohio since he was sent South by the Presi-
dent.
When convict escapes from the Ohio Peni-
tentiary, 1t is not the practice of the State au-
thorities to send to the President to arrest
him, nor to confer with the President about
his arrest, nor to wait for the President to order
his arrest. The Copperhead talk about the
failure of the President to arrest vallandlgham
Is simply absurd. The President has other
and more important duties to perform than to
undertake the dirty detail work of some Pro-
vo5t Marshal in Ohio. If Vnllandlgham can
not get even the Provost Marshal of his own
District to take notice of him. he certainly
cannot expect the President Of the United
States to do %,

trouble.
Heavy firing was heard in the direction Of
Petersburg on Monday.
Eight hundred rebel prisoners and forty OIL
GERS had been captured, and were en- route to
City Peint when the State of Maine left.
Workmen are engaged at City Point in erect.

Terrible Drought In T.1as,

We are Informed by an officer who is a re-
turned prisoner from Texas that a terrible
drought prevails in Texas, extending through.
out that whole region, and, In fact, into Louis
lana. The prairies of Texas are absolutely so
parched that the earth is cracked into flssures
rendering hhazardous to journey on horseback
BY night. Cattle are dying there by thousands
person who passed along the coast of the
Gulf recently told our informant that he rode
over thousands Of carcasses of cattle which
had came down to the seashore and drank Of
salt water until they died from Its effects. The
loss in food to the rebels by this cause must be
very great, as Texas has been one of their
chief sources of supply in the article of beef.

The Arguelles sCRse-ImportRn Evidence.
The President has communicated to the
Senate dispatch dated June 10, from Thomas
Savage, acting American Consul General at
Havana, relative to the case OF Don Jose Au-
gustin Arguelles, and the statement that his
arrest was sought because of his opposition to
the slave trade. 1t appears that Arguelles
captured slaves in the expedition, as was bis
official duty; but instead OF surrenderlng them
to the Governor General, he sold portion of
them, and accounted for them by reporting
that they died Of the smallpox and had been
buriedi and he bribed a curate to attest it.
The testimony shows that thlrty-eight were
sold to one man, twelve to another, and the
rest were distributed in similar way. Captain
General Dulce, who has been so much abused by
Arguelles, has been very efficient in capturing
slave expeditions, claiming that but five have
escaped him during his administration, while
four and half Of another have been captured.
Consul General Savage further AYERS that the
story Of Arguelles's wife's presence in New
York Is not true. He represents that these
captured slaves, surrendered to the Governor
General, are termed Emdncipddos, and con.
tracts with planters at q nominal sum are
made for their temporary service; but that
great frauds are perpetrated upon them, a
common one being to report portion of them
dead, or when other slaves die to testify to the
death OF EhsGncipddoS instead, by which means
they are retained In slavery.
