Valundingham's Maysvile speech, re.
ferred to by a correspondent whose com.
municnrion appeared upon the editorial
page of Yesterdays paper. was partially
reported in the Cincinnati Eaqaircr.-
According to tho Eng irer's report his
referenco to R. E, Lee and stonowall
Jackson, was as follows:
ii Thank God my fathers were from
that grand old Commonwealth ofVrgin.
"a Loud cheers. That birth-pIac6 OF
Washington, Jefferson ard Madison, of
Robert b, Lee aud stonewal Jackson.
LDeaieniog cheers, Aye, those are noble
names, and no loyal wretch she'll close
my mouth from speaking the praises of
these men, who however mistaken thew
may have been, we're thousand times
more honorable Gnd true TO the princi.
cipIos Of human liberty, than thousands
who call them traitors. Thci, names
will live 10 history as noble representa-.
I'VE men OF The nation, They are nay
teIlnw citizens. and TO day they seek to
be with Us, mrmbors Of one common re
public. Their fame will well the graod
aggregate of that which composcs and
lives in history, and will i've to the re-
hottest syllable of recorded tims.
Give US our liberty again; oyo, we
will have -uniersta,d chat, loyal
men. Cheers, and cries of'Thas wo

my boyhood associated with any thing
honorable"
The true intent and meaning Of this
IS, OF course, that tina rebellion was right,
and tho! its leaders, though oyerpovefed,
lie the heroes of the war and the hope
Of the county in the tuture. Mf. Val
.andishGm, having scorn and contempt
or loyal men, did not, Of course, name
he son Of Virginia who mos Distinguish
Nd himself in the war as n lsSlpr of the
'tmios Of the Union, I. nbvTf occurred
o him to mama George II. Thomas. -
10 though! only Of The ohampioug Of il
principles. A. the same timo it does
lot seem to occur 10 him that he has his

lie means thol he aud his aind propose
