VALLANDIGHAM VIsrTs DETRoIT.-The Detroit
Advertiser and Tribune Of April 3Oth contains the
following:
We are assured upon Trustworthy authority,
that at the invitation of certain leading Democrats
of Detroit Vallandigham was in this city one
ght this week and addressed secret meeting Of
Democrats-probably club of Knights of the
Golden Circle. Our information comes from 10y
a. Democrat, who was invited to be present, but
who would scorn to be found in such company.
We are not able at present to mention the names
of those Democrats who were present at this meet
ing, or what Vallandigham said, or by what clan
destiue means be was conveyed between Windsor
and Detroit, but of the main fact, that under the
cover of night, at the invitation of leading Demo-
Gratis Of Detroit, he came here and made a speech,
we have no doubt. 1t is not generally known what
intimate relations exist between prominent Detroit
Democratic politicians and the traitor exile. His
mail comes to our Post Office, directed to one Of
them, and there is scarcely night in the week
that more or less of them are not closeted with
him.

The DIXIE DocToR.-We copy m article
from the American Flag, signed by many ol
the leading Union men of Oroville, giving The
political history of The Dixie Doctor Edward:
now holding the high position of Surgeon il
the Union Army at Fort Point The article
speaks for itself, in plain and truthful terms
and its object cannot be misunderstood by the
authorities. With such facts before them il
would be unreasonable TO suppose that an open
enemy to our Government, and the place no
doubt sought to render aid and assistance to
the Southern Confederacy, would for a mo.
ment be retained in any position by the Fede-
raj authorities. We have had too many trai-
tors in high places during the present rebellion
and their treacherous influences have been
thrown with telling effect against the interests
and success of our advancing Union armies. as
well as upon many hard fought battle field
With practical demonstration of such facts
in the past, should be warning in the future.
And an open enemy in power and place, pro-
ven to be such, if not Immediately removed,
evidently exhibits a rottenness among the
powers that be.

PUFF PRELININARY.-Some OF our rebel
contemporaries, who are evidently awake to the
advantage of being on coed terms with the
Department Commander, are putting General
Mcdowell as "a sensible officer, who will not
permit himself to be influenced By the Jacobin
QoyaD press to interfere with freedom Of speech
and OF the press" 10 other words, they count
upon General McDowell's being wesk-minded
officer of the Wright (not right stamp, who
will permit Copperhead papers and orators to
talk treason and revile the Government as
much as they please, if they will mention him
once in a while as q courteous gentleman -
We hope and believe that the California Cop
perheads are greatly deceived in the character
Of the man who is to keep them in order hence
forward, and that be will make them painfully
sensible that bis little finger is thicker than bis
predecessors loirs-Nerulo Gcsats.

Dr. Edwards became = resident of this county in

the cause of the Union; that his bitter and uncou-
promising hostility TO the National Administration

defeat OF the Union cause than did this same Dr..

disloyslty-this proud son Of Treason's land-,his
bold, open and determined copperhead, has receiy-

these charges. We are not advised of the manner
Of his procuring this appointment, but we do know
that it is undeserved and should not have been
made, unless indeed the time has come to reward
the enemies of Governm ent, and to confer
such places as would enable them under certain
circumstances, TO render substantial aid to the
Southern Confederacy.
As we know this man, do you wonder that we

We think not. We respectfully request that you
