KKADx ON HIS LAT CAMPAIeS.-The New York Td-
bune prints the following some shat remarkable story
concerning Gep. Meade:
The Rev. g. A hale, Of Dover, N e., recently visited
the Army of the Potomac, and called upon Gen Meade.
He writes to New Hau pshire paptr that he asked
Meade to explain to him his last campaign, and the
general was kind enough to do SO al follows; II went
over the river to fight and II my orders had been
obsyed an confident that Lees army might have been
defeated. NY plan to cross Germanna Ford take
the road to Orange, and push on rapidly and ii Lee
should send forces TO stop me, 10 attack him in force
and destroy that portion of bis army before he could
concentrate his whole 10 to oppose me- but one OF
my commanders failed me. He was commanded to
march at o'clock In the morning, but did not move
till g. He was directed IL Lao sent forces 10 oppose
him, to attack him a. once. Lee did send Ewel down
the Orange CourtHouse road just AL expected, but
my General stood and looked at him all day, and did
not fight. We lost twenty-iour hours, and gave Lee
notice and time TO concentrate his army and take so
strong position that it could not be carried without
great loss and risk Of losing army. Sach Eight
would have damaged US and encouraged the rebels and
prolonged the War, and gave orders to retreat"
The corps commander referred to was Gen. French
who was probably too drunk to know his cu.y.

respondent speaking OF the late interview be-
tween Lincoln and delegation of Kentucky
members OF Congress, who came 10 inquire
into the Woford arrest says
"In answer TO the request that the order Of
General Burbridge be rescinded, the Presi-
dent replied that he should not depart from
the policy pursued concerning Vallandigham
Mr. Mallory remarked that the Vallandigham
order was imperative, that individual having
returned to Ohio, Mr.. Lincoln replied, in
substance. that be had no official knowledge
Of Valandigham' return, and that when Mr..
vallandigham made his presence known BY
Objectionable acts, the Executive would be
prepared to act The application in favor Of
Colonel Wolford was not granted

Necessity.

In the case of the People as Gen. D and
others, in the matter Of the suppression Of
the n Y. World and Journal of Commerce,
Judge Pierpont in behalf OF Gen Dix, stated
'Since the order of arrest, Gen, Dix had re-
eeved from the President another order,
which he COUNSEL had seen, directing Gen,
Dix not to allow himself to be shorn Of his
liberty or bis command under any circum-
stances while the war lasted Can Mr.. Lin
coin make his servants exempt from the pen
ally of unlawful deeds II they can commit
any act of villany aud tyranny with inpunity,
State tribunals may as well be closed at once.
This, says Judge Perpont, places Gen Dix
in peculiar position, as circumstances might
arise when direct violation, either OF the or
der Of the Court or of the President Of the
United States, would be neeessitated =
Again and again do we hear the tyrants plea,
necessity, quoted to palliate outrages and
violations OF law Mr. Cochrane, the Attor-
ney General said: "Whether war or peace
prevail, he repudistes the idea that power to
infringe private rights secured by aw, lay
Within the province of the Federal Executive.

property without the process of law What

Current News Items.

The Republicans, having silenced Col.
Wolford, in Kentucky, threaten Wick
life, Davis, &c, with the terors OF des-
potie power They are resolved that
there shall be neither free discussion nor
free voting at the coming election. The
people will have some what to say on
this.
Ben Butler is fallen from his high
power, and humiliated in his fall. He
sought to disgrace Gen. Gilmore but the
Senate has made Gilmore Major Gene
ral, and Lincoln has deprived Butler of
all command in the field 1t is devoutly
to be hoped that the career of the beast is
terminated. H
Last nights news is singulorly con-
fused, unintelligible, and unsatisfactory.
Our dispatches of to-day may throw some
light on the Situation. The denizenS Of
Washington have been terribly frighten-

We see that the papers are referring to the
fact that Lincoln ordered comic song to be
sung upon the battle field We have known
the facts about the transaction for some time,
but have RETAINED from speaking them As
the newspapers are nov stating some Ct the
facts, We will give the whole.
Soon after one Of the most desperate and
sanguinary battles, Mr. Lincoln visited the
commanding General and the army While
on his visit the commanding General with his
staff took him over the field in a carriage
aud explained to him the plan of the battle
and the particular places where the fght was
most fierce At one point the commanding
General said, here on this side OF the road
tive hundred of our brave fellows we're killed.
and Just on the other side of the road four
hundred more we're slain, and right on the
other side Of that wall FIVE hundred rebels were
destroyed We have buried them where they
fell" II declare said the President, this
ia getting gloomy Let us drive away. After
driving ~ few rods the President said, this
makes Teller feel gloomy. Jack, (speaking
to a companion "can't you give us something
TO cheer us up2 Give us d song, and give us
lively one Thereupon Jack struck up, as
lond az he could hswl, comic negro song,
which he continued to sing while they were
riding of from the battle ground, and till they
approached regiment drawn up, when the
commanding General said, "Mr President,
wouldn't it be well for your friend TO cease
his song till we have passed this regiment =
The poor fellows have lost more than half OF
their numbers They are feeling very badly
aud should be afraid Of the effect that it
may have on them The President then
asked his companion to stop his singing until
they got by that regiment
We know that the story s Incredible that
it looks impossible that n man who could be
elected President OF the United States, could
so conduct himself over the fresh made graves
of the heroic dead When this story was told
to us we said that it was ncredible--mpossi'
BILE, but the story is told on such authority
that we know it TO be true, We tell the story
that the people may have some idea of this
man, Abraham Lincoln, who is candidate
for four years more of such rule If any Re-
publican holds up bis hands in horror and
says this story can be- true, we say we sym
pathise with him from the bottom of our soul;
the story cant be true of any man fit for any
office of trust, or even for decent society; hul
