I saw Clement L. Vallandingham die at fifteen minutes to ten this morning.

The event is so sad, so inexpressibly distressing that I pause for utterance. Yesterday, full of lusty life, and heart beating with hr'bpo, he stood foremost among the able counsel of' Thomas vi„ McGehan to-day he is lying dead, with his. wife far away, and his dear

HOD tweaking his loving heart with a

passion of grief too deep to tell, too sacred to look upon. TriK REVOLVER.

Mr. Vallandingham occupied room No. J5. on the second floor of tho Lebanon House, the room immediately over the hall door, a'nd fronting on Hroadway, tho widest and handsomest Htroot in the place.

Ho hod returned baraNshtfft tiuie from a walk with Hon. A. (}. McBurney, of: Lebanon, and Thomas MilliIcin, Esq., of Hamilton, associate counsel in tho defense of Thomas Mc'Jelii.il, from Turtlo Creek, in the outskirts, wither the gottleman repaired at the instigation of Mr. allandinghain, to witness an experiment performed by him of shooting with a revolver at a piece of cloth, in order to

how close the muzzle of the

weapon could be held to the material without powder burning it. Mr. Vallandinham had a new Smith & Wotwon's improved revolver, with five chambers of the No. :2 oalliber, and tried his cxporimont, with what success can not now determine, but as tho party returned, Mr. Millikin remarked to Mr. Vallandingham that there were threo loads remuining and he had better discharge them. "No," replied Mr. Vallandingham, "never miud.'A Mr. Millikin urged Mr. allandingham resisted, and soon after reached the hotel and entered his y, room, where lie placed the loaded revolver on thciablc with an unloaded weapon, which he intended to use in his argument on Monday before tho jury, in illustrating his theory that

ThomaH 8. Myers shot himself. Mr. Symmos, of Hamilton, entered the ''room, and Mr. Vallandingham remarked that he felt badly he had just had a telegram announcing the dangerous illness of his wife's brother,

Hon. J. L. V. McMahon, of Cumberland, Maryland, and Mrs. Vallandingham had guno to attend that dying bed side. A lew sympathetic words and a social glass, and the friends sat down, soon to be joined by Mr. MeHurncv.

THE FATAt, ACdlDKNT.

No one unacquainted with Mr. Vallandingham can fully apprcciatc his wonderful energy of character. It curried him.through almost unparalleled difficulties and given him a naiue and place in history which every civilized tongue repeated for several eventful years, and never, probably, did it shiuc out with such promiso as iu this latest effort of his logal career.^

Upon the defense of Tom McGchan ho concentrated every faculty of miud, throwing his entire being into it with such enthusiasm and force which those associated with him in tho case—and they hare the host right to know—say eclipsed evdry former effort, and gave promiso of success in a case already triod, judged and condemed at the iuexorabto oat ol publio opiuion. Day and night he devoted himself to it with unremitting pains. Everything calculated to contribute in the least to strengthen the defense Mr. VaUandingham eagerly performed, and it was in direct pursuance of this that he lost.his lift., "1 will demonstrate to you in a moment," said ho to Mr. McBurney and Mr. Symmes, "the absurdity of Toilet's argument that Torn Myers did not shoot himself. With that he seized one of tho pistols lying on the tabic, and putting it in his right pau taloona pocket, continued "Now here is tho way Tom Myers had his pistol in his pocket"

Mr. Symmes here interrupted him, and excusing himsolf, left the room to ROC Judge Popo on busiucss, who at that moment passed lloom 15 on his way to his own rQomon the floor above, and retired.

Mr. Vallandingham had then only auditor and spectator—Mr. Mclluruey. "You sec, Mcliurney, how I hold this pistol "Vcs." "Very well, now Myers drew his out this way, and as the muzzle came up to hcroabouts he pulled the trigger.','.r

Mr. Vallandtnghanf held the muzzle to tho right side of his abdomen, at a point almost exactly corresponding with that where Myers received the tfttllol, anH to tho* infinatc astonishment of Mr. M«Bwrney and himself, ao explosion took placo, and the rash cxpejriJi^JkNr exolaipMsd "Oh, murder I am shot

TITK AL.VT.ir.

The explosion and thscall for asaiatance soon filled Room 15, the hall in front, and the stairway with excited people, and in nuicb less Limo than it

takes to tell it here, half the popnla-

tion of Lebanon knew that Mr. Val-

mouth to mouth it spread like flame

Drs. L. S. Scoville and Isaac L. Drake, of this place, were there within a few inewnents after the accident occurred, and telegrams were dipatched for Professor W. W. Dawson, of Cincinnati. Dr. J. C. Reeve, of' Dayton, (the family physician of Vallandingham,) Judge llaynes of Dayton, his law partner, Judge J. C. McKerney, of Dayton, John Sprigg, and two other relatives bearing the family name of the distinguished man.

THE WOUND.

Room No. 15 is an ordinary one, twelve by fourteen, carpeted, and plainly furnished with a double walnut bed, a bureau, washstand, small tabic, and a few chairs.

The revolvers lay on the table with a pitcbcr of water, dccantcr.and a few drinking glasses, the bureau was heaped with books and papers—evidences of the activc studies going forward. 1/r. Vallandingham threw himself on the bed and raising his shoulders by doubling up the pillows, coolly and carefully contemplated the suggestive little red spot in his side from which a little stream of blood was now seen to trickle. His lips wore compressed, his features startling in their expression of wildncss and alarm, lie spoke not a word.

The doctors at once proceed to exaniino the wound. Some one said, "It is a quarter to nine." Vallandingham had thrown oil his coat and thrust aside the remaining garments to give the doctors free access to the wound. l)r. iScovillc produced a silver probe. Vallandingham watched his motions with blazing eyes. "Any pain "No, not the least."

I'HOlilNU.

Dr. Scoville approached this delicato operation with a delicacy of demeanor becoming the occasion. The bed had been drawn out from the wall. Vallandingham lay at the far side. He placed his hand upon the wounded side, and felt around by a series of gentle pressures for the lodgement of tho ball, for it had not come through, but this self-manipulation the doctors prevented, and the probing began. The instrument was directed inward, but did not penetrate farther than half an inch. Ah, that is good

Then toward the right it is pointed, no entrance there. Now toward tho left, still no entrance. This is very hopoful. J/cBumey, J/illikin and Judge Hume looked at each other with an expression of relief. The wounded man glances sharpcly for a moment at their faces, and fixes his eyes again upon the doctors, but still remains silent. What arc his thoughts

His wife is in J/arylaud—no one at home but Charley, his or^Jy sou and child, and what is the use of exhibiting emotion before a room full of people.

The hcroic nature of the man is under test, and nobly is it exhibited. His countenance has a fixed expression, as if the man was scared. Rut this is only the index to the busy thoughts blazing in his eyes and shooting out beams of anxious inquiry.

No, Mr. Vallaodiugham, you can not read anything in the faces of your doctors, they arc too prudent for that, and their prudence and concealment arc tho best treatment you can have for the prcseut.

Uut what docs that little motion of the doctor's hand mean A motion that obtrudes his arm between the eager eyes of the patient and that suspicious little hole? It is to prevent thoso eyes from seeing tho probe pass obliquely downward and then inward, far enough to satisfy tho practiced cyo that the abdominal cavity is penetrated. "Do you think the wound is mortal?" "Well, sir, we eau not say that yet. Don't know. The wound docs not sccin to be necessarially fatal."

Ah' there's encouragement arid hope for whoever chooses To take them, but I saw the dip of the probe so deftly concealed from the patient, and I know what it means.

The wound is dressed with plaster and the patient placed on his right— the wounded side. Tho red flush of alarm now began to fade out of his face, and a twingo of pain extracts something like a groan. It is half, past ten. ,,

SRIWEONS COMINO.

Answers arc received from Cincinnati and from Dayton. Dr. Dawson is coming as fast as horses can bring him Dr. Reeve and Charley will be here at midnight.

This intelligence and non^oommital of the doctors in attendance revive hope, and tho big crowd ia the street in front of tho Lebanon Ilouse, and the throng of visitors to the wounded man'a room arc impressed that the wound is serious only that skill will save tho precious life and restore it to usefulness. Will it?

Everybody around recalled the force of the man while, conducting the ^1/cliehau oase in Court, as they encountered his large,, luminous eyes, and saw his massive physiqaey felt that surely that little pellet ot lead must have glanccd around and lost itself in the adiposo tissuo of that portly figuro.

He only looked a little pale—tint was all. "Have ihey found the ball "No." [That was a bad sign some thought as if a man could not live

OP course, every thoughtful and considerate person retires, but the many remain, and the crowd is constantly increased by accessions from tho street below. It is dreadful, but the popularity of the man, and the startling character of his accident, are such that nothing short of seeing him will satisfy public curiosity. On, on, and on they come, curious, anxious visitors, at last it becomes absolutely necessary to clear the room and the halls.

THE 1'ISTOI,.

All this while that fatal pistol has lain upon the table. There is nothing remarkable about it, except th.^1 it killed Clement L? Vallaudingham. ft is what is known as the Smith & Wesson's improved, and bears the number i2,53-i, a four inch barrel, calibcr 32-100ths. The cartridges were the large or short size. Ilad it been loaded with the long size, the ball could not have been prevented from passing plumb through by the fleshy walls.

When all was over, sbmo debate arose among Vallandingliam's friends as to what disposition should be made of the weapon, some advising its retention, others maintaining that it should be packed away among the effects. Tho former suggestion was niddc to spare 3/rs. Vallandingham the pain of encountering the horrid.thing. It wa3 finally decided packed it should be, and away it went with all the other sad evidences of Vallandingliam's tragic fate.

Williamson, of

Loveland, whom first and last Vallandingham desired to be near him. This request was one of the few expressions he uttered after he was wounded.

Mr.

Vallandingham now complain­

ed of pain, and vomiting commenced. The doctors said that was produced by the shock. No blo&d passed his lips. It was apparent, however, that the wound was bleeding freely and an examination was made.

Vallandingham was carefully turned upon his back, and the plasters and bandages removed. Blood gushed freely from the now cularged and distended lips of the wound. The bed was saturated with gore. Vallandingham was told that there was a little blood. Away from his bedside the doctors said "eight ounces."

INTERNAL HEMOURAGK. Doctors Dawson and Reeve have not arrived. I)r. Dawson should have been here by this time. Dr. Reeve's time is not due by an hour. "Is there danger of internal hemor rage, doctor?"

And then camc the prudential admission of possibilities, with such qualifications trammeling them withal, that an ill concealed contempt for science as there and then embodied flashes from indignant eyes.

The country was immediately telegraphed that Vallandiugham's death was ouly a question of time, and that of brief distance. ^he patient lay with his eyes and lips closed. Many thought him calmly asleep, but when a new voice or different step was heard, the eyes opened wide aud bright and turned inquiringly from face to facc.

Vallandingham was looking for somebody whom, he did not say, and no one attempted to inquire.

I ACHANGEFORTIIEWOII.SE. At half-past tweUfc vomiting was of more frequent occurrence, the head rolled from side to side upon the pillow,f and there was the repeated motion of the head thrown upward and aside, such as men make in adjusting the shirt collar. Tho extremities became cold the abdomen was swollen, and the external wound continued to poor out life's crimson tide. "I supposo you are aware of the seriam nature of y9ur wound, Mr. Vallandingham quietly observed one of the doctors. "YfeSj'I Relieve I understand a&d appreciate it," quietly replied Yallandinghani. What! Is this eventful man going to give no.utterance Dying, has he nothing to say to tho 1 1

I)R. REEVE ARRIVES.

A little gentleman of quiet deEtaMor, but sharp cut character, bountffl tip the staircase, and into the room, as light afoot and agile as a cat.

It is Doctor Reeve, of Dayton, thd family physician and intimate personal friend of Vallandingham. lie greets the doctor in attendance, asks a question or two to fully acquaint him&l! with the situation, and stoops dowof'to take his patient by the hand. "Ah, I'm glad to sec you, Doctor how did you come?" asked the doomed man in a natural, ordinary tone oif voice.

It is a little after one o'clock dnd but few remain to see the last, A. few minutes only, and the door rs ttiirOwn open a groan is heard: "Send up the young man lit-*the office."

A slight, graceful, youthful form appears upon the landing and pagoes into the room.

It is Charley, Vallandingliam's only child and son—the idol of his house and heart. The sweet faced youth is kneeling by his father's side in a moment, and his lips are fondly pressed to that fondly stricken fathers face. An outburst of tears from the pure fountains of that d£?ir young heart, and the big sobs shake its tenement till all seems bursting.

It was not necessary to suy, "Thcyo, that is Charley." "I know him. I recoguizc him. It is my son—my son Charley."

The first stir of life outside was the'" twitter of swallows in the eaves. The cold, gray light of the morning disputed sway with the burning lamp, but when that was removed at last-, as no longer necessary, it seemed to have consumed the last ray of light in the face of the dying man. A deathly pallor overspread the features, the finger nails of the right hand, which from the first rested on the pillow beside his face, while the other grasped and was buried in the bed clothes, turned blue. The time of dissolution drew nigh. With the earliest light came hosts of friends. The hotel was again filled with,visitors, and the street in front was thronged with pity­

But that terrible waiting for death was sorely protracted. It was a heaviness that weighed everybody down, and will make that sad morning for ever memorable in the houses and homes of Lebanon.

The great strong, nature of the man struggled hard with fate, and gallantly contended for life. Consciousness was retained almost to the last moment. It looked o.nt clear from those once magnificant eyes, and sounded in the intelligent answers to questions'. As an instance: At nine o'clock, too much pressure, by leaning on the foot of the bed, caused one of the rollers to give way, thus imparting a slight jar to the prostrate man.

Mr. Vallandiiigltani opencd-hia eyes, and turning his licad, asked distinctly: ''What is that?"

Earlier in the morning lie hear.l some oncwindinga watch. Mr.!Vallandfngham said: "Judge Iluine,. have my watch wound—it winds in the stem.''

No pott mortem was had, bnt Dr. Dawson made an exploration and found the wound in the right side, about two inches below the arch of the ribs, at two inch as in front of the lateral line, scrcn and a half inches from the umbilicus and two inches above the umbilical level.

The ball entered the abdominal cavity from the point of entrance obliquely, from above downwards and inwards, pointing toward the left ingunial region. The abdomen was distended with blood, 'and there was a constant exudation of it from the wound, dark colored and fluid.

CLEMENT L. YALLADINGHAM r'-fl.j. -7s DEAB. 1,

On last Saturday morning, after our .-fli-. paper had gone to^peas,- Mie.utnrHing intelligence was proclaiincd-to "JOur citiicns,

that Clement L. Valladingha'm' had "acci­

latest dispatches from Lebanon, Ohio, the

ster had stalked the nation over on that grievously fatal day, it could have found

no greater intellect', purer heart, or deter­

mined spirit within our borders, upon which to fasten its clammy hand. Only

tlipsc who have watched and studied Val­

landingham could appreciate his great­

ness. In all his actions, in his resent­

ments, in his likes, in his success, in his sufferings and martyrdom, and all his

words and thoughts, there have ever stood

boldly to the front,'those proofs of honest convictions, patriotic purposes, and un­

conquerable will, which, through persecu­

for their owner the love and fealty of many,

and the admiration and respect of all of his countrymen, lie died directly in the

GERMANY.

The triumphanial entry of the army and the inauguration of the equestrian statute of King Frederick William III, took place last Saturday, in accordance with the imperial proclamation. The weather was most favorable for display, and the city was crowded with people, who have been thronging thither for tho past fortnight. The streets on the line of march wtre superbely decorated, and in the public squaro triumphal arohes were raised, and platforms erected, to accommodate thousands of spectators. The procession wis one of the most magnificent of modern times. Headed by the eagles and standards captured from the French, it marched in the order set forth in the Imperial programme, from Tcmpelhof field to the. palace, between two rows of cannon, numbering some 2,000, taken during the war. At intervals along the line, enormous piles of trophies, formed of captured arms were erected.

After the first division of the victorious column had passed Bradcnburg gate, the Emperor, with the German Princcss in his train, proceeding the army, was received at the Portal by deputations from the Municipal Governments of Berlin, and the principal cities of Germany. Addresses of welcome and congratulation were presented, when the Emperor, at the head of a brilliant cortege, rodo down the "Via Triumphlis," which had been constructed in honor of the occasion. The road was strewn with flowers as he advanced, by hundreds of young girls dressed in white.

The army then entered the gate with the Prussian Guards at the head of the line. It was mainly composed of detachments, representing every regiment which took part in the ir, each bearing the regimental colors. The appearance of the men was superb, and the enthusiaisni of the great masses of spectators, as they passed by, was unbounded. Each regiment as it entered the "Pariser i'latz," where the crowd was greatest, was cheered with unfailing enthusiasm. Some regiments, well known to the Bcrliners, and others which had par ticularly distinguished themselves during the campaign, received spccial ovations, people breaking into their ranks, crowning them with wreathes' and overwhelming them with flowers. When the prnccssioii li nl ooncliulcd its inarch, the Emperor proceeded to unveil the statute of his father, Frederick William the Third. All the dignitaries of the Empire, victorious Generals, members of the German Parliament assisted at the ceremony, in the presence of the army and a countless number of spectators. The veil of the statute was removed amid tremendous cheers, firing of cannon, and music from the military bands. Tho Emperor standing at the foot, of the statute, delivered a speech, closiug with these words: '-This monumcut, which was projected in times of profoundest peace, now becomes tho memorial of one of the most brilliant though bloodiest of modern wars. May the peac(j so dearly achieved, be a lasting one.''

The ceremonies closed with conferring honors on the victorious commanders. Numerous orders were granted by the Emperor, and the hereditary command of the most distinguished regiments was given to the various Generals and L'rinces. Among those who bad these marks of fame from the hands of the Emperor, were Prince George of Saxony, and Prinec Leopard. General Yon ROOD, was elevated to the rank of Count of' the Empire, arid (Jeneral A on Moltko was made Field Marshal of the Imperial Army.

At night the entire city was illiiiriati'd and *he rejoicing is at its higli.t.,,
