We stated, with precision and particularity, in
our paper Of Wednesday last, the laws Of Congress
violated and disregarded by Gen. Burnside in the
military arrest, trial. and imprisonment of Mr.
Vallandigham for an offence made cognizable by
the Courts of the United States Our citation of
the statutes relevant to the case having met the
eye of an eminent jurist of the North sojourning


in this city, he has addressed us the following note
on the topic, which, though not designed for pub
lication, we communicate to our readers, as well
for the sound conclusions it enforces as for the
new suggestions it makes:


Messrs. EDITORS: have read " the law of the CASE
with sadness well interest The act of 1863 which
you cite makes Gen. Burnsdes action openly illegal
than had supposed it, That act Of 1863 was its date
and history show passed to couneract the Presidents
proclamation of September 24h 1862 which subjected all
aordng aid and comfort to the rebels to trial
by courts martial and military commissions, snd suspend
ed the writ of habeas corpus for all such persons arrested
and thus nufed the act of July l7th 1862 before
had occurred under it.


This stirred the country and Congress- and the act Of
March 3, 1863 the consequence The fret section Of
this act ignores the right of the President without egs


on suspend the writ habeas corpus and the second
section secures to all persons arrested by the Presidents
authority trial. discharge without trial. by the civil
courts 1t does this because if the Grand Jury find bill
the prisoner necessarily tried that by the civil courts
ii bill is found he is then necessarily discharged by the
civil courts according to the act


In this state of the law what does Gen Burnside? He
arrests, tries, and sentences Mr. Vaandgham by court
martial and then sends him out OF the jurisdiction of ths
civil courts which have cognzance Of his case and which
alone render him the protection of the act of 1868
If you suggest. Mr. Stanton acts he only under
the statute of 1863, send list containing Mr. Valaudg
hams to the United States Of Ohio and on
this list they must issue order to bring Mr. Vaandg
ham before them But their order has power and can
not be served executed beyond their Judicial circuit
and Mr. Vaandgham is at Fort Warren, and much out
Of reach of their official order if he the Feejse
Islands No United States court but the Ohio courts
have Jurisdiction The list which the order is made
before other court and the statute gives cognzance Of
the case to no other.


Then Gen. Burnside sends the prisoner to prison

authority. How he do this Why may he not well,

MATRIMONIAL Disputes IN SwITzER-

be set in motion at the urgent and united

in the room one plate, one spoon, a unity of

of such dimensions that, if they chose TO
use it together they must needs lie very
close. OF one thing and only one, there
was a duplicate, and that was treatise on
the duties of husbands and wives towards
each other. No visitor was permitted to go
near them, and they had only a glimpse al


intervals of the grim face of the janitor, as
he pushed their food through hole in the
door. The bishop states that the test was
attended with the most wholesome results.
In most cases the parties were excellent

stand out for more than fortnight. An
other very gratifying circumstance was.
that they had scarcely TO record case in

The labors Of this month will 10 large
measure decide as to the excellence Of the
great staples, corn, potatoes, and other
hoed crops. If the weeds be kept in
check, and the soil mellow, favorable
season will do the remainder. Without
good tillage, it is vain to expect more than
alight crop, however propitious the wealth
er may be. Thorough cultivation will
go far TO make up for what may be lack
ing in weather, and also in the richness of
soil. A good hoeing is equivalent in its
effects to no small amount Of manure. AS
far as practicable substitute horse power
for hand labor. A good cultivatiDg in
strument will save one or moro hired
hands, and thus more than pay for itself
in these times of scarcity of men.


BARNS AND sHEDs


Will soon be needed for hay and grain
crops. Clear out all rubbish, have floors
and scaffold-poles in order, and every
thing in readiness before the pressing
work of haying and harvesting COM
mences. Much labor may be saved by
properly grading the grounds in front of
the entrances where loads are to be drawn
in. We have seen large hay crop taken
in where each load must be jerked over
rise of several inches at the door-sill.
Where large quantities of hay are to bo
stored, pierced in the sides, to be set up
right in the mows, to secure good ventila-
tion.

Cattle-droppings deposited during the
summer should not be allowed to dry out
and waste. Cover the ground with muck,
and plow it over once month, or oftener,
to incorporate it with the manue. Now
while the yards are nearly empty, arrange
for draining. Convey wash from the
manure to adjoining fields, where it sho'd
be spread by small channels, to prevent
too rank growth.


Plant where corn has failed, and in or
chards needing tillage.


BUTTER


Made this month is usually considered
the best produced during the year. Pas
ture is fresh and abundant, cows have re-
gained their strength, and with right man
agement everything is favorable to an
abundant flow of rich milk. A little
painstaking in the dairy will make large
difference in the cash returns. For large
dairying building devoted to the purpose
is indispensable. 1t will greatly facilitate
operations to have spring water in or near
the premises. The temperature of the
milk and cream should be uniform at
about fifty-ive degrees. Observe the ut
most cleanliness in every department.


Vessels for milk or cream should be
scalded Immediately after use, thorough
ly dried, and we'll aired. Keep the uten-
sils bright; they are preferable to wood,
for receiving milk. New tubs should be
scalded with buttermilk before using, to
remove the taste of wood. Have all YES
sells COR packing and marketing neatly
painted, or secured bright, and plainly
marked with the owners name. Butter
made this month may with proper care,
be kept until winter, when much better
prices can be realized.


CALVES


May be gradually induced to drink sour
milk, and also oatmeal and milk or water,
by adding little at time to their feed
This with good sweet pasture, will keep
them thriving. A calf we'll cared for du-
ring the first year or two, will be every
way superior to an animal neglected at
this important season of growth.

ER-GORDONSVILLE FORD


NEWSPAPER STRATEGY, &c.


The newspapers are again carving out plans
of the campaign for the Army Of the Potomac;
bootless task, indeed, the public's expe-
rience with the result of their previous ex-
ploits in the way of maneuverlng that huge
army demonstrates.


The New York Erening Post of Saturday,
among others, dilates upon the fancied taking
of Gordonsyille, and lays down for General
Hooker The plan by which he cannot lin that
journals estimation> fail to take Richmond
and end the war in Uhe inevitably ninety
days!


Now. we have to say that no more absurd
rumor ever crept into the columns of the press
than this same story Of the taking of Gordcns-
Vile, ere the roads leading there had dried
Nature has accorded it an impenetrable de-
fence up to this time, if not for a week or two
longer


This Gordonsville story was followed last
week by another whispered around first among
the secesh here) that Stoneman had been disas-
trously defeated at Kelly's Ford, &c, &C. in
which there is no truth whatever. He moved
up the Rappahannock on Monday last, and
threw small portion of his cavalry across
TIE river there for reconnaissance, designing
10 cross more over. But a sudden rise of the
water warned him that to do so Just then
would be impossible. So after an inconsider-
able skirmish with the rebel videttes and other
troops there, he withdrew all that had pre-.
Fiously got over. The losses on both sides
were about even-neither losing anything to
speak of. The latest Richmond papers OF
course magnify the rebels share in the affair,
as their allies in this quarter have done.


In view Of the serious injury time and again
inflicted on the good cause by such Newspaper
disquisitions as those of the Post referred to
above, we respectfully submit that it will be
best for the press to abstain altogether in future
from indulsing in its propensity to chalk out
Union campaigns, in doing which inklings Of
movements may be given out, resulting In In.
calculable mischief. tits enough TO know that
the Army OF the Potomac never was In as
excellent and reliable condition as at this mo-
nent, and is ready 10 move at the word Of COM

Our venerable cotemporary the National In.
tethgencer, is becoming sorely inflicted with
"negro on the brain," we fear, as it appears to
have at length evidently come to see nothing
but "the negro" in the Governments war pol
icy. 1t Is hard to tell which is Just now most
devoted to the interminable theme-the Tribune
or that journal. Our idea Of the duty of loyal
newspaper at this time differs widely from that
OF our contemporary, if we may be permitted to
draw conclusions from the apparent devotion
OF its columns to the dissemination OF articles
calculated to disinclne the public to giving the
Governments war measures the hearty sup
port they must have to insure the suppression
of the rebellion.


There can be but two sides from which to
choose just now-that of the rebels or that OF
the Union as he is net reliably loyal who hes.
itates to support the Union cause with might
and main because, forsooth, his own ideas of
now 1t should be managed are not made the
basis OF the Governments war policy. He who
expected that the institution Of slavery could
60 through long civil war without being ut.
teriy shorn of its political strength, is short
sighted. Nor is one a true friend to the cause
Of the Union unless willing to aid the Govern
ment in depriying the rebellion OF the great
strength it derives from the employment Of the
millions Of slaves directly and indirectly in
aiding its military operations. We have never
believed it possible so to deprive it without in
directly laying the funsation for tho entire
abolishment Of slavery in the border States, to
the temporary pecuniary injury Of the small
class of loyal men in them who owned such
property; and we have cheertully accepted our
individual share Of that injury, as we vslue
the cause of the Union far above any property
interests.


In this connection we may call public atten-
ton to the important fact that the policy OF
making soldiers Of the negroes has certainly
been a success They have answered as well

and the fact that they do ans wer we'll, has al
