ylor, Nicholas, and Captain Nevin spent the afternoon with me. The intelligence from Hooker's army is contradictory and unintelligible. We hope it was successful, and yet find little beside the headlines in the telegraphic column to sustain that hope. The German regiments are said to have behaved badly. This is, probably, an error. Germans, as a rule, are reliable soldiers. This, I think, is Carl Schurz's first battle; an unfortunate beginning for him. May, 9 The arrest of Vallandingham, we learn from the newspapers, is creating a great deal of excitement in the North. I am pleased to see the authorities commencing at the root and not among the branches. I have just read Consul Anderson's appeal to the people of the United States in favor of an extensive representation of American live stock, machinery, and manufactures, at the coming fair in Hamburg. Friend James made a long letter of it; and, I doubt not, drank a gallon of good Dutch beer after each paragraph.

friends of the Republican party. From the South came Governor Wise and Senator Mason of Virginia; from the North, a United States Marshal named Johnson, and Mr. Vallandingham, a member of Congress from Ohio. The result of these visits was one of John Brown's greatest victories. From the three published reports of it, carefullyf some value. Capt. B. I will answer freely and faithfully about what concerns myself — I will answer any thing I can with honor, but not about others. Mr. Vallandingham, (member of Congress from Ohio, who had just entered.) Mr. Brown, who sent you here? Capt. B. No man sent me here; it was my own prompting and that of my xposure to the smoke of powder. His manner and conversation were courteous and affable, and he appeared to make a favorable impression upon his auditory. Mr. Vallandingham, not ashamed of having attempted to extort political capital from the lips of a dying man-- or having inquired if he knew one Brown, a noted counterfeiter, o

Mr. Vallandigham was, by a military commander, seized and tried for no other reason than words addressed to a public meeting, in criticism of the course of the Administration, and in condemnation of the military orders of the general. Now, if there be no mistake about this — if this assertion is the truth and the whole truth — if there was no other reason for the arrest, then I concede that the arrest was wrong. But the arrest, as I understand, was made for a very different reason. Mr. Vallandingham avows his hostility to the war on the part of the Union; and his arrest was made because he was labouring, with some effect, to prevent the raising of troops, to encourage desertions from the army, and to leave the rebellion without an adequate military force to suppress it. He was not arrested because he was damaging the political prospects of the Administration, or the personal interests of the commanding general, but because he was damaging the army, upon the existence and vigour of

d. Private Spillman, of Company K, then took the flag and carried it to the final charge in triumph to victory. He was promoted color-bearer on the field for gallant conduct. Among the lamented dead of the First was the gallant and accomplished Lieut.-Col. A. M. Smith, who left a sick bed to take his place in his country's service. In the Twelfth, Colonel Barnes was wounded, but did not leave the field. Lieut. J. W. Delaney, commanding Company B, was killed in the first assault; Captain Vallandingham lost a leg, and Captains Miller, McMeekin and Bookter were wounded. In the Thirteenth, which was mainly in support, the loss was not so heavy, 8 killed and 40 wounded. In the Fourteenth, Colonel McGowan and Maj. W. J. Carter were wounded, as were also Captains Brown, Taggart and Edward Croft, and Lieutenants Brunson, O. W. Allen, Stevens, McCarley, Dorrah and Carter; and the gallant Lieut. O. C. Plunkett, Company H, was killed on the field. The First Rifles (known as Orr's Rifles)

hese indispensable books, we are indebted almost solely to the influence of the Confederate Camps and kindred organizations which have sprung up all over the South. Passing over the history up to the year 1864, we find the people of the North were then greatly agitated on the question of the propriety of the war, its further prosecution and the manner in which it was being conducted by the administration then in power. The opposition to the war and Lincoln's administration was led by Vallandingham, of Ohio, with such boldness and ability as to cause his arrest and temporary imprisonment. In the Presidential contest of that year, Lincoln and Johnson were the candidates of the Republican, or war party, and McClellan and Pendleton were those of the Democratic, or peace party. The convention which nominated McClellan and Pendleton was one of the most representative bodies that ever assembled in this country. It met in the city of Chicago on the 29th of August, 1864, with Governor H

Mr. Vallandingham, of Ohio. This gentleman is the only public man we have yet heard of in the free States who remains true to his professions before the Proclamation. He deserves immortal honor. He is the one righteous man in the Heaven-forsaken cities of our Western plains. He stands where he has ever stood, and bids the mob defiance. As mobs are always cowardly, they are glad to leave Mr. Vallandingham "alone in his glory." Mr. Vallandingham, of Ohio.

body. He was an advocate of "fifty-four forty or fight, " on the Oregon question, and was a firm supporter of the Mexican war. One of his best speeches was on the question of refunding to Gen. Jackson the fine which he was obliged to pay at New Orleans. In December, 1847, he was elected to the United States Senate. His course there is fresh in the public memory. He was a desperate political gamester, and sacrificed his all, and hazarded his country's all, to obtain the Presidency. At one time he was considered a national statesman, and a man of intrepid spirit but the manner in which he succumbed of late to Lincolnism, proves that he was supple as a willow to the popular breeze. What a contrast to Vallandingham, standing almost alone in his sublime mora courage and fidelity ! It cannot be denied, however, that in the death of Senator Douglas the North has lost the greatest man in its limits — the only man, in fact, who approached the obaracter and proportions of a statesman,

obtained contiguous to those they formerly occupied. Some withdrawals of members had occurred during the year, in consequence of removals and financial pressure. These amounted to about the number of accession, so that the present number of members remained the same as last reported — say, about 850. The finances were in a good condition.--The essays and lectures had been less frequent than heretofore; but the ability of many of them was commended, especially the lecture of Mr. Vallandingham, of Ohio, "whose bravo words pealed forth in clear and ringing tones in behalf of Southern rights and National peace." The essay of Mr. D. B. Lucas, on the "Code of Honor," had been published in the March No. of the Southern Literary Messenger. and is a masterly production.

e has never invoked Federal bayonets to reduce her to submission. Even in the last war with England, a war undertaken chiefly on behalf of Northern commerce, the South never called for the blood of the traitors who burned blue lights on the New England coast, though each man of them was as guilty of treason as Benedict Arnold.In what refreshing contrast to these merciless and nonsensical threats of coercion are such noble sentiments as the following from that noble gentleman, Hon. C. L. Vallandingham, a member of Congress from Ohio, correcting some remarks attributed to him in the Cincinnati Gaxetts. All honor to this true patriot, this genuine American, one of the olden time, one of a class in the Northern States which, though in a minority, embraces nearly all the public virtues and honor of that section of the country: "And now let me add that I did say, not in Washing on, not at a dinner table, not in the presence of fire eaters,' but in the city of New York, in public asse
