New YoRK, June 10.
now MR. PENDLEToN RECEIVED THE NEWS.
George II. Pendleton arrived in this
city Saturday morning from Ohio, on his
way to Europe He first received news
here from the newspapers of the fatal ac-
cident to his friend Vallandigham, and
was greatly shocked and distressed. Bu-
siness OF the most important character
compelled him to continue his journey,
but he sent to the afflicted widow of the
Ohio statesman telegraphic dispatch eX
pressing his grief and sympathy.
A SPONTANEOUS ourDURSr.
Roger A. Pryor, now a resident Of this
city, was an intimate friend of Mr.. Val
landigham for many years. Mr.. Pryor
was lunching Saturday, when he heard
the news Of his death Ofcourse he was
startled for moment, but he instantly
exclaimed:
What fortunate man. He had just
reached the very acme his life. He had
all his prejudices, abandoned
old issues, accepted the situation, ad-
vanced his own ideas and stepped to the
front. His new departure politically,
has only been eclipsed in grandeur by
the glorious consummation of his earthly
exit An eccentric, strong willed, but a
good hearted, conscientious man was
Nallandigham.
Such was the hearty impromptu uttcl-
ance of Mr.. Pryor about his old time
friend.
THE TRlBuHE's SENTIMENTS.
From the Tribune editorial of Val.
landigham:
His new departure is regarded by
many as inconsistent. with all his past Gu
reer, but that is their fault. SO long as
slavery lived he fought for it with Il
lovers devotion, but since it is dead be-
yond the hope of resurrection it seemed
to him absurd that his party should per
sistently and fruitessl ly sacrifice itself to
ho names of the departed. What to lit

.LARMING CONDITION OF MRS. vALLANDIG-
HAM.
New York, June %.
a special dispatch from Dayton says
hat Mrs. Vallandigham is still uncon-
cious. The physicians who are in con
tant attendance are reticent as to her
ecovcry. She fails to recognize her
most intimate friends watching by her
bedside. BY many it is feared she has
ost, or will lose, her reason, while Others !
Ieclare that the double shock she has en-
during the last few days, in
osing both her brother and husband, is |
the most fatal consequences,
