the printers and their families, were very

A DOCUMENT TO BE PRESERVED.
THE TREASON WITH WHICH
Mr.. .VALLANDEGHAM WAS
= - & rsFARGER

We often hear the bitter Republicans
speak of Mr.. Vallandigham as a convicted
| traitor. Now We propose to turn back to
, the drumhead court martial that tried him,
and see tho kind of treason he committed -
We want to know of what species of offence
he was accused or convicted. Here it is:
Mr.. Vallandigham was invited by the De-
mocracy Of Knox and Franklin Counties to
address them upon the political Of the question
day. He accepted the invitation, and in his
speeches, among other things, said, according
to the report of the Government spy, who
took down his words.
"This is wicked and unnecessary war. a
war for the freedom of the blacks and en-
slavement of the whites"
" If the Administration had SO wished, the
war could have been honurably terminated
mouths agI. Peace might have been honora.
bly, obtained by listening to the proposed
heutations Oh France"
Propositions by which the Southern
States could be Won b1ck, and the SOUTH
guaranteed their rights under the Coustiu-
tlon, had been rejected the day before the
late battle of Fredericksburg by Lincoln and
his minions"
The Government of the United States
was about to appoint military marshals in ey-
cry district to restrict the people OF their lib
rites to deprive them of their rights and
privileges"
" Order 80 is a base usurpation of arbitrary
authority"
The sooner the people inform the min.
IONS OF usurped power that they will not sub
NIT to such restrictions upon their liberties
the better"
lie was at all times and on all occasions
resolved TO do what he could to defeat the
attempts now being made 10 build up a
tn"narchy upon the ruins Of free govern
ment."
He firmly believes, as he said six months
ago, that the men IN power are tempting to
establish despotism in this country more
cruel and oppressive than ever existed"
There, reader. you have from the official
report of tie trial all was charged by tie
Government and military authorities against
him. For saying these things in a public
speech, in which he was discussin, asa citi
zens the affairs of the Government. he was
sent into exile and banshment, torn from his
family and friends, and cruelty punished
This is alisthe treason" of which he was
ever guilty. 1t would be good idea to cut
out this copy of these charges against Mr..
Failandigham to keep as memento of what,
in Republican estimation, i S treason, and Of
the degree Of liberty that under it We are
allowed.

ANDREW L. TUTTLE, in the 54th year of his age.
The deceased was among the earliest settlers Of
this County, having moved here from Pennsylvania

tions incident to the first settlers here, he went
among many Others at its first discovery the gold

The exposures and prvations Of that rugged coun-

BILLY and The Bogus Enrollment again.

We were told in the last weeks Republican
in relation to the bogus enrolment list in
Nicholson, that Billy the Editor, had ''de-
MED the charge explicitly and challenged"
us "to produce the proof" We do not know
when, where or how he has denied or DIS
proved the truth Of a single statement made
by US in our expose of the affair.
He says he "challenges investigation" }" We
hare investigated the matter and published
the result. And We are ready at any time,
credible witness to prove the truth Of every
material allegation made by US. We have
dared the sneaking pimp of an Editor to deny
that he printed the list for Nicholson, with
the five names mentioned by Us, lnlerpolated.
We can prove that he did, not only by a
comparison of il with the genuine (both Of
which we have at hand, and viii! exhibit at
any time when called on)but, by his own
confession, made in an unguarded moment.
We think we can establish another fact in
relation to this enrolment, to wit; that men
were induced to pay money, to other men
processing to act by authority, for the pur-
pose of having their names left out of the or
iginal enrolment.
This system of peculation and extortior
was not, if we have been correctly informed
confined to Nicholson Township alone, but
was practiced in other districts in this
County. .E.
TrifiDg with the money and lives of men
may be thought very innocent amusement
bythis "Loyar Editor, and would be-peda
gogue. But, we can see but little difference
in the guilt of the man who puts his neigh
boris life, or property injeopardy, by trick
or frauo; and him who does it by deadl
weapon, on the highway. One method re-
quires little, low, cunning; the other some
courage. The bump Of cunning predominant
in all draft snedks.

The Re.Enlisted Veterans,

The following letter from the Office of the
Provost Marshal General at Washington
would seem to settle the question as to whe
ther the veteran soldiers who have re-eplisted
can be credited against the next draft to the
districts in which they claim residence, and
thus entitle themselves to the local bounties
that are being paid to avoid the draft. The
ground taken by this letter is, that the vet.
Grams enlisted in the field, by virtue of the
Government bounty alone, and without ref
crence to the local bounties and, having
been mustered into the service before their
return home on furlough, and credited TO the
aggregate number of men required to be
raised by draft cannot be credited second
