The letter Of VALLASuIoHAN has at last
penetrated the wool, and pierced the thick
plating Of the Journals impregnsble aud
magnificent dignity We thought at hrst
that VAL had been as unfortunate in his
letter, as the Journal had recently been In
its celebrated illegal tender" otimmemorial
professional courtesies," and would be
compelled u take up the lamentstion con-
sequent upon the casting OF pearls before
swine" Not so. His flank movement"
skillfully executed with the spur OF re-
taliafion, has at last "demoraliEed' the
Journal, and caused it, like "Old joe" to
kick up both before aud bshind--especially
behind. In denomination Of tho latter
variety. we are delighted with the follow
ing; 'Ho (vAL) advises honest people,
~ we'll as scoundrels, TO resort TO law
breaking"
No he don't, Mr.. Snob Editorial, and
you know it, and everybody who has read
his letter. knows it. He only advises hon
est men to defend their lives and property
against just such pusillanimous poodles as
you. His counsel is, to kick the tfces

nal yelps in anticipation Of an honest boot.
1t appeals to "honest men" in very
dishonest way. to know if they are willing
to risk their homes and their lives to graf
ify what it calls the "ilfsrnal malice Of a
convicted felon."(?) To put the question
plainly, it wants to know whether the

10 do the soldiers justice, thing they will
never get from their false and pretended
friends, we freely state that we have been eur
prised and grati6ed to see how few Of them
participate in these outrages, and how many
openly condemn them We are surprised at
this, knowing as we do, that all information
was kept from them while in the army--not a
Democratic paper dared they read, while every
lie possible was fastened on theic minds by
the vile Abolition papers sent to their camps.
Even their letters from their relatives aud

nicalion cut of between them aud home.-
But their return has opened the eyes of thous.
ands, and they return wiser than they came
