yaliardigham's Death Blow.

Valandigham, the traitor, has brought
the matter of his trial, conviction and
punishment before the Supreme Court
of the United States, upon petition for
a writ of certiorart, directed to the Judge
Advocate General, in order that the pro-
ceedings Of the Military Commission
might be revised and the sentence an
nulled. The Supreme Court has dis
missed the petition on the ground that
it has no jurisdiction in the case. The
decision virtually says that the proceed
ings of a Military Commission, approved
by the Commander in Chief, arc final, and
in this case so final that Nal'andigham
must submit to them and content himself
in Canada living upon the scanty contrl-
buttons of the faithful. The Courts Of
his own State have decided against him,
| the people of his own State have kicked
him out, and now the Supreme Court Of
the United States has put its final stamp
upon him. If, after all this, he is not
convinced that he is an infamous traitor,
ard deserves his punishment, he is truly
irrcclaimabIc. 1t is a fearful blow to him
and to all the coppcrhcads. 1t strips
from them their great stock IN trade, by
recognizing and endorsing the fact of
military independence in time Of war. -
1t robs Nallandisham of every claim he
possessed to the position Of martyr, and
exposes him as an unblushing, open trai.
tor, receiving his deserts. His fate is q
miserable one. His own friends will de
sert him now. The Jeff Davis organ OF
this city is already doing it, and before
many days he will not have friend in
the country he helped to bctray, except
among those who are in arms against 1t
and he will go down to history as he
stands now, poor, infatuated, dastardly
traitor, who thought to oppose his puny
strength againsta great nation struggling
: for its integrity. Judas, Arnold, Davi
