WEEKLY SENTINEL.

MONDAY, JULY 29. ttliere tu iteaponai billt) ! . The Journal, wiih its usual unfairness ind orscrupulousness, publishes theJetteraofWimow, Laxier & Co., of liew York, in reference to their proposed advance of greenbacks to pay the July interest qn. the Sute debt, but fail to publish the letter of Col. Walkee, the State Agent, giving hi reason for declining the proposition. It pronounces the letter of Col. Walker "a, vulgar and m .licious sttack upon the Governor." If such was the f..ct, whj not let its renders Me the production, so that they could judge of its character themsel ves? This the Journal and the Governor were afraid to do. They fully realized that the reply of the State Agent was a crusher, and that it let too much day light upon the Governor's corrupt designs in usurping and attempting to usurp powers which no good eitizan can approve. The whole argament upon the interest question is in nut-hell. The Governor's political friends seceded from the Houae tlih-teeu days before the expiration of the constitutional term of the Legislature, so that it had not the quorum necessary to pass the sppropriation bills. The question was submitted to the Supreme Court whether the State officers had a right to pay the interest without a legislative up propriation. In an able opinion, and an unanswerable one, too. the Court decided they had sot. The duty of the Governor was then plain. He should have promptly assembled the Legislature in extra ' session and .placed upon tint body the responsibility of passing the laws necessary to maintain the credit and honor of the State. This is whit a good man would have done. But for selfish purpose and to gratify partisan preju dices and promote, as he thinks, party interests, he refuses to discharge an undoubted duty imposed upon him by the Constitution. The responsibility for the failure to pay the interest, and the other indebtedness of the State to Im me creditors, is clearly upon the Governor's fchouldrs. In an article upon '"the powers of the Executive," which apretred in the Journal a few days a Tn, it is claimed that the Governor em not trust the clerks of the Executive," meaning the State ofnVers, the State Agent, the Judges of the Supreme Court and the Legislature, And hence His Excellency claims that it is his rightful 'prerogative to exercise the administrative, the judicial and the legislative powers of the State. Upon what meat hath this Caesar fed that he has grown so suddenly great? Ws there ever a mare infamous and unblushing attempt to tnurp dictatorial powers? The Constitution of Indiana most pi linly set forth the duties and the powers of the different i.f&eers of the State Government. The Governor has no right whatever to assume any administrative duties confided to the other Sute officers, and much Ies.3 the judicial and legislativ powers. 'What a monstrous Stab at popular rights when the Governor states that he cannot trust the representatives of the people to legislate upon the public affairs of the State, and that it his duty to disburse the funds of the State, which come into his hands, in such a way as he may deem proper, when the laws expressly declare and d'rect that all public moneys received by an officer of the State shall be placed in the State Treasury. The position of the Governor can not be defended. It sets an example of disobedience to law, especially dangerous at the present time, and which can have no apology or justification whatever. The Governor owes the same obedience to law. and he ii just as much subject to law, as the humblest citizen. And the party which attempts to justifv these usurpations of the Governor, is equally guilty with him and such an example will go fur to inculcate a spirit of disregard for law and lighten those restraints which law imposes upon the community, that miyhe attended with disastrous consequences to the welfare and peace of the State. As a pirtisan we would not object to the course of the Governor, for its effect mu-t be ruinous to the pvrly that sustain him. But as citizen, looking to the common good and common welfare, we cannot but regard the position and action or the Governor as fraught with evil, and the people owe it to themselves to rebuke the unconstitutional, unlawful and dangerous exercise of power one man power by O. I. Morion. Jir. ftrlght and the Abolition!! a. A I true meering was held at the L union Tv em on the Ifith ult , to hear an address from Mr. M D Conway, ot E isfern Virginia, the son of a e! i vehnhler, "n the war in America, with special reference to the l ite speech of Mr. Roebuck, at S:-mM. Mr. Bright presided, and in opening the proceeding passed a hijh eitlojiium on Mr Conway. He then went on 10 s it that as Ion; as peop'e believe! there would he no wir in Amtici, everybody con-'emned ihe South; hut when it w;is seen thitihe North was not. determined Cülml v to ce the dismemberment of the ntion. manv who before were on he side of the orth. went round to the S nith Euzlatid's trade interest were largely bound up, mid he feired this had been the caue which lud prevented and still rte epred hr do inj justice to the cause of the N'orth. Loud cheer Mr. Bright then expatiated on the iMfi culrif of the South in the miner of slave labor, m tiot lining th it it was insufficient to satisfy the w.int of the world in the article of cotton. "The production of cotton, therefore, htd been irtsuBicent and insecure on ' account of the institution of slavery. The South had m ide slavery the issue, and hiving rushed into the btt'e field to settle the great question, it wa sinking into irretr'evahte ruin Was it possible that this Trent cotton industry minht vet e nl iced on , rock which nothing could disturb? Let them im eine that the war was over though soTe say he had no right to imagine that the Union was restored and that slivery was abolished. Did they sup-. pose thit'n such a case there would be fewer ne groes in the Suth? On the contrary, he believed the number would be In-reased. If slav. ery and the lash were abolished the negro would tarn his fice to the sunny South, where he would find himself happier und more useful thtn in the North. There would besides be a migration frorn the North to the South. Once abolish slavery and emigration would flow from Europe to the South, and in a few years there would be an increase of the cotton crop. He came from the midst of the cotton industry ia LmcAh:re, and a large portion of what he had in the world depended upon that industry. Not a little of it was now valueless. His neighbors around him were suffering more or less fiom the war, and while its continued great numtrs of his fellow countrymen would le defendant on ch irity. Ilia interest wan iherelore the interest of all the (treat population in the cotton district. He spike of the question as one of business, though he vm glad that on that occasion business coincided with high sentiment and high morality After some other remark, in which the honorable gentleman expressed a hope that Englmd and Americt might always he found working together in the canse of liberty and progress, be concluded amid much cheerintf. M'. Conway then delivered his address. He maintained that the South had got tip the war to perpetuate slavery, justified the proclamation of President Lincoln, and contradicted many acca s itions which Mr. Roebuck had made again1, t the No-th. The room being; unable to contain the people who desired to gel in, another meeting was beld in Sussex Hall. MR. BRIbHT's ormos.

It eaya that, at a time when every Northern nvtn ' admits that the Confeder ate, wi'l fight to the last.' and that success will be , obtained by the Federal Government only by the exhaustion, if not destruction, of the Southern people.

As spec imena of its character, we select the following passages, which we know will be admired by lovers of the patriotic ai d beautiful. Mr. Pugh said of tbe doctrine that our liberties are not in danger: "I not only fear, bnt I am well asured by the examples of history, that our liberties can not survive a patient submission to arbitrary power. It is not the cry of demagogues; it is the voice of wiom in all ages it speaks to us from tbe tombs of a hundred Republics, once happy and proud, and confident of perpetuity. It is the watchword of patriots and the testament ot mrtvw it should be the firt lesson of youth, and the last injunction of the aged to tht-ir children. Eternal vigilance it the price of liberta,!' We can have it for no less, and UDon no ether term. Religion. Civilization, Education!' These do not supply the place of liberty at all, nor have they been found sufficient to preserve it. Other nations, livinjr under despotic forms of government, are quite as religious and quite aa thoroughly civilized as we are some of them are much better educated. The rude Roman was free -the Roman of the higher civilization be came an abject tlave "I will not intrust my sacred birthright to any man, let him be ever so great and good, upon his promise that by-and by, when he shall have conquered an enemy or put down a rebellion, he will give it back to me. He may take it without rat consent; he may be so strong that 1 can not resist; these are misfortunes which I may not be able to avoid; but no words or flattery, no power on earth, can deceive me or compel me to any measures of compliance. Better the sharnet-t pangs of death, a life of exile and poverty and constant hardships. Give me the crust of bread and cup of" water with liberty, rither than the amplest luxury with servitude. Give me, instead of this genial climate, this fertile soil, this prosperous community, under an arbitrary Government, the bleakest Ar ric or Antarctic region, under the almost insuflt rable winter, the niht of one half year in duration, the day. which can hardly be called a day ; but uive me w thai the consciousness the proud, the noble, the price less, the inexpressible consciousness of being a free man. e . "But, sir, what has becomeof oor safeguards what avails the experience of seven hundred years where is that Constitution which declares itself to be the supreme law of the land, if a Major General commanding the Department of the Ohio, or anv other olficer. civil or military, can create and multiply definition of treason at his pleasure? The ancient Ruminalis put forth new leaves when all men supposed it to hedving; whether the tree of American liberty will be able to supply the pliceof that splendid foliage which has been stripped from its branches and scattered beneath our leet, by the ruIe blasts of arbitrary anl unlimited authority, is a question hereafter to be determined. The question does not con

The pirtisans in power to day will be the partisans in opposition to morrowthen militarv command will be shifted from those who oppress to those who have been op pressed; and so with the mutations of political faction, must the personal right, the ri'nts of of property. nd even the lives of all be in constant hazard? I pray that my learned friends upon the other side will consider this in time that they will use their influence, not only with the defendant, but wirh those to whom he is amenahle. to revoke, ere it be too late, the dread ful fiat of the tyranny, of hopeless confusion, of unlimited anarchy, which has been denounced in our mid.-t. "And such. Lord Eldon, while Attorney Gen eral. and addres.inc the' jury in the case of Hardy, October 2S, 1794, declared to be the true constitutional meaning of the act of Parliament, thn in force, whereby the privilege) of the writ of habeas corpus had been suspended. Little did he conceive, with all his inclinations to an arbi trary and irresponsible government, and at the very time when he was endeavoring to maintain the authority of the crown against what he regarded as an extensive and mot dangerous con spiracy at a time when the people of Enzland stood aghast at the horrors of the French Revo lutioti. and even doubted whether such anarchy would not extend to them little I say did L.rd Eldon conceive that a Major General or a Field Marshal could arrest men, other than soldiers, at hi pleasure, and for ofl'enes unknown ro the law, could confide them in military prisons, could deprive them of the writ of habeas corou, without any act of Parliament suspending that privilege: could subject them to the form of a trial by courts or commissions composed of military officers, and upon charges and specifications alike indefinite, inconclusive and frivolous. And yet, sir. to that we have come in the first century of our Republic, with a written Con stitution, less than eighty yen old, in a country professing to be civilized, intelligent, refined ml strangest of all, to be free. It is our case if yur Honor p!t, your own case and mine and not merely the case of Clement L. VitHandigham. He is the victim to-day, but there will be and muft be other victims to morrow.

The London Times publishes an account of the battlts of Chancellorsville, from its Southern correspondent, extending over six columns. He sets these down is the bloodiest battles of the war, placing the total Confederate loss at 10,000, and thatot the Federal) at 20,000 in killed, wounded and missing. The account is very minute, but it contains no facts that have not been already published.

From the jr. T. Journal of Commerce. Loyul or Disloyal From the commencement of the war there have been two clashes of people in the North, the one calling themselves loyal and calling the other disloyal. The lino of distinction was drawn by these Pharisaical people In this m inner: If a man was for freeing the negro s whet her the Uüiou. wai la.ed or aot. he wa.lojl; butlf.be was lor saving the Union ut any r te. he was disloyal. This was the only test. We state pram truth, susrep'ih'e of abundant pro of. The worst enemie. of the Union, men who have a thousand times taken solemn oaths in the presence of crowds that they would if possible destroy the Union, because they regarded it as a covenant with death and an agreement with hell. thee men were accounted loyal, were placed in honor able positior s were welcomed on the floor of the United States Senate, were praUed by the whole party of self sf tied loyalists. When the necessity for volunteers became urgent, these men counseled citizens not to enlist unless a proclama, tion of universal freedom were made. They discouraged enlistments everywhere. This is simple truth. We extracted fnm their paper the most violent appeals to the people against enlistment. Their orator declared that "if Jeff. Davis would proclaim freedom they would rather fivht for him than for Lincoln and the Union." We rhalleoge denial of this statement. But while Union men were arrested, and Union pa pers supia-essed, these enemies of their country were neither molested nor warned, but on the contrary were patronized and petted. So, by the most natural process in the world, the people began to be divided, and fatally divided. And now it is worth our while to ask which party is the truly loval piny, which has done the country true service. From the outset the conservative party has furnished men and money to the Government, while the self styled loyal party has shouted for reüro freedom. The grand service rendered by the latter may be summed up in the procuring of the emancipation proclamation that, and nothing more. What has that itnounted to? After nil the promises of the three times three hundred thousand volunteers, where are they in the hour of need? Wh it supreme folly has been the notion of these men that the negro was a grand weapon of ar for us to use! Before the war began they told us the South dared not rebel because of its negfoes. That thev would rise and destroy their masters. That failing, they said if we would proclaim freedom, the negroes wonM settle the war. and volunteers from ihe Atxditionists would "swarm the roads." Thit failing, they see ihe Rebels ectnally invading the free Stares, and ihey now prn-se hat if we cannot beat them back nt once we shall acknowledge ourselves conquered. This is actually the attitude taken by the leading Abolition j'iurna's! Meanwliile the cottseivative men work steidfastly, faithfully for the cause The work has been increased threefold, tenfold, by the AW lition measures which have been adopted. Instead of being aided, we are trammeled, and our enemy is strengthened by these foolish pro ceedings. Yet the honest, noble heart of the conservative American does not whollv despair, but in all parts of the land we see it pledged to the Union, fightinjr and dying for the Union. Whence now do we he-'r cries of denair? From the journals of the AbliiionisU! Who sid. 1 ist January, "If three months more of earnest fighting will not serve to make a serious impression on the Rebel; if the end of that term shdl find ns no f'uither advanced than its beginning. let ns how to our destiny and m ike the best at tain.ib'e peace?" The leader of the party who told us to trust our destiny on negro em incipa, tion! Who now says. "If the Refelsbeat Orsnt. and water their horses in the Delaware, we shall be under foot, and mir as well own it?" The same prophet of the glories ot em incpsiion! Why. men o- America, this whole rejro de peti'lence theorv has been your ruin. It is the wildest folly on which a nation ever went to destruction. Wh it has negro slavery or free dom to do with the strength of Lee's army, that strength which we desirsj to destroy and scatter on Ihe wind? It is men and cannon that we war against, not a theory, not a system. We want men and cannon to de stroy men and cannot, and these visionaw enthu siasts tell us to ue the wind of words. We have used them, and the men and cannon launh at them, anil the thunder of their derision shakes the soil of Pennsylvania. Sh-ill we awake lo reason before it be too late? When will it be too late? The-e are questions which we must miwer as a nation now. We have no time to deal in discussion. We want two hundred thousand stalwart, patriotic men in the field men with hands and arms ard hearts. The proini-es of the self styled loyalists have failed us ut'erlv. What remains? We speak to a class of readers in some respect suiierior to that addiese l by any journal in Amric-t. You are rneo ot wealth, of education, of influence. S me of you have been acting with the party who placed the:r dependence on this negro theory. You believed in it. to some extent yourselves. But now that you see in Mrrvlan land Pennsylvania the evidence of its vanity, we beseech of you as patriots, as vou value this glorious Government, as you hoje for 'he salvation of the American Union, we be seech you to throw the weicht of your influence nto counsels that will induce the ab indnnment of this policy which divides and distracts u. and let us unke one grand effort for a united North and a triumph of the Union. Do you ask what good it will do row? We beseech of you do not y ield o despair. There is no hour diker than that which precedes the dawn. We never have despaired of rhe American Union. V e never will despair of it, until its abandoned fragments are visib'e evidence of its destruction. From all parts of the North we have evidence that the peoole are ready to unite on a policy which shall in ike the Constitution its trrnnd platform, and clues ibis mad AtMditionisin where ii belongs, with Southern disunionjsm, with which it once openly affiliated, and whi' h it now labors lo aid. When such men Seymour and Parker are exhibiting the magnifh euce of their patriotism, who can doubt that there is loyalty of the noblest kind in the hearts of the const rvative of the North? The ntter failure of radical measuies and men is, alas! ton plain now. Try the other pln, and save the nation! The Military Arrests Yesterday Dr. Hebern and both members of the firm of Bixler & Iddings, gunsmiths, of this city, were arrested yesterday b a quad of soldiers, under or. I eis of i he Provost Marh:il of ihe Sune, and taken t Indianapolis I he a i rest created intense excitement, an 1 feirs weie enteitained that an attempt would lie made to rescue them utn the arrival of the alternoon train Jnm rhe North. A'writ of habeas corpus was st:ed out before Judge Vinton, but all of the gentlemen arrested, having expressed a willingness to proceed to In dianarolis for trial, it was not served. Mayor Ward addressed the assembled crowd at the m irket space, counseling peaceful measure nd submission to the legal constituted authorities. He was frequently, interrupted by excited individuaU, who seemed leterinined to precipitate a riot in spite of better counsels and the expressed wihes of the parties arrested. The calm and quiet demeanor of the Sergeant commanding the arresting force, the counsels of the Mayor and other citizens, ami the sensible und prudent be haviorof the men arrested prevented a bloody and disgraceful riot. Had an attempt neen made to rescue them, we should have been forced this morning to chronicle a most lamentable and humiliating affair. Upon what charge these men have been arrested ha not yet transpired. That they will have every opportunity afforded them to establish their iniKxem e, there is no kind of doubt. If inno. ' cent of any treasonable intent or act. they will rejoice at the opportunity to vir.dicate them-elves. No m n whose kii ts and conscience are clear need fear an arrest and transporiaiioii to the capital of his own State for trial If false charges have been made against him, he there U afforded every opportunity to disprove them Lafayette Journal.

The ro mi nt; Crop. The general evidences from the various exchanges of the country is that the crops of the season will nach an average in both qu ntity and quality. There are complaint ol injury done in ronie sections by drou'hs. but theie ra no general dryness to hurt, the absence of rain being local, and limited in extent. Wheat in Pennsylvania ia said to promise very finely, though the raid of the Rebels in the Cumberland Valley will interfere there with the crops being Leathered In New York the wheat crop Is good, but very light " In the West, generslly. the whe it crop 1 fa vorable. In Southern Illinois, Oid" mid Indiana ' full crops; in other parts of the-e State It is af fecred by the drought ?o In Michigan, It is very good or bad, according to the locality. It seems to be generally understood that the hay crop this season will be les than the average. Oats in some places have been Inj red, and the recent cold weather is unfavorable to the corn, but these have time yet to recover themselves with favorable weather. Oats are very high iu price, and this has stimulated tbe farmers to plaut very largely of it, so that a good crop will be realized, in spite of any temporary or local drawback. .

Spirit ol the heading Itepubllcan

Ire The New Yoik Times and the New York Tr bune of Saturday give forth the following views; . From th Tribune. The statement that Lee meant to disturb Hooker beiWe his movement Jto the Shenandoah waV accomplished" Is preposterous. His plain ob ject was to transfer bis army with the utmn-t lossible celerity and secrecy, anu De aid it wim m ict er I v skill. ' It does be:in to seem as if nothing could rouse the people ot Pennsylvania inro a courageous activity. Tor a week the Rebel army has been steadily adrancinu into the heart of the State Her towns aie plundered. Iter fields ravaged, her Capital threatened, yet no passion stirs the sluggish blood of this unwoiihv nee to any noble purpose. Roused they i-ertainly are. but the ex citement is wholly of lear, and rhe only thought is of retreat. There re troops in HariMwrg, but few of them are from Penusy I vani i. What ever resistance they may lie aide to make to Ewell's entrance will be purchased bv the blood of other States than tint whoxe capital is to be fought for in the streets and on the banks of the river which still loyally fl ws in the.enetnv' front. The Governor calls to day for 50.000 troops to defend the capital, but who knows whether to day and tomorrow there will be a capital to defend? Meanwhile, there is an army in the rear nd on the fl ink of Lee's audacious columns. General Hooker knows at leatt much of the movements of his scoriifiib-pponetit as is known at the North, and it is rmpsible to suppose be is not doing something. When Lee had once seized the She B andoah and die Blue Ridge passe', which Ht oker never should nave permitted him to do, it was na longer praetbable for H'wker to prevent his in vaMon of Peinsylvania. but it is possible, and the nation whiif, has trusted him with its army will expect, that be should see to It. that such an invasion be deirly atoned lor. Gen. Lee is an ac complished loldier, experienced, wary and coura genu, but he ventures on such a campaign as this becau-e he ras little fear of the commander whom his temerity thus insults. It remains lor General Hooker to p-ove rhe mistake ol Gen. Lee, and to exact for it a terrible penalty. UAfi WE A rtDttlAL ADMINISTRATION? From tbe Jf. T.

For ihe benefit rf the few Republican doctrinQtitt in England who seem io th nk th.it the federal G verniiieut can do no w rong, it niav be desirab'e to nut a question on the subject of f ree discussion in time of war. What.it may be asked, would the people have thought, said or done under the following circumstances, suppos itur it to hive been possible they could have occurred? John Bright, an able. clear headed, logical speaker, and mi earnest advocate of peace, addre-sed the people of Rochdale, in the year ll54,iu the subject of the war in the Crimea. So high is hi reptiiatioti for eloquence, as well as lor courage and patriotism, that not only his immediate nei-l b rs and friends, hut multitudes oi people from all the cuntiguousdistricts, gather to listen to his y rice anJ cheer the manlv expression of h'S sentiments. He denounces the war as wrong in principle, erroneous in policy, unjust mid iniquitou in itself, and more dangerous in its continuance to tlie liberty and prosjeriiv of the British people th n to the stability of the Russian Empire. He declares that Lord Alienleen is little belter than an old woman, that Lord Pan mure thinks too much of "D iwb" and too little of hi duty and to the country to be a safe or an efficient Ministerin a time of national danger; that rpeculation and peculation, jobbery and rob fiery, pervade every department of the public service: and rhat war, always deplorable and wicked, is particularly horrible and uuchri-tUn when waged in defense of such a rotten and effete institution as the Tjtkish empire, which

mnnrains slavery, and is therefore no fit member of the family of nations. He is not aware, whi'e sneaking, that two officers of the Grenadier Guards, disguised iu citizen's attire, have been sent to the meeting by the war office to take notes of his speech, and, havinz ended his oration, amid ihe enthusiastic applau.-e of his audience, uoe home to supper. A few nights after ward, thinking no evil, and believing himsell to be a citizen of a fr-e county, he retires quietly to bed as usual. But his sleep is not permitted to be of long dursiion. Shortly he is aroused bv a violent knocking at the outer door. He springs to his feet, thinking the house i on fire, anil rings the fire alarm accordingly. Hin wife, children, and household gather in great alarm, in their niht clothes, on the stairs and in the passages. The outer door is battered in. and a company of soh iers enter, the Captain with his swo'd in his hand, and each man pre sents a biyonet at ihe breast of the beaihleied legislator. The ladies ami children scream or faint, while Mr Bricht is told to dres immediately und consider himself a prisoner. Mr Bright die-ees himself, but refuses to go to prison. The generous blood of a true betrted Englishman rushes to his I. ice, and he declares that he will rather die defending his life than yield to his lawless and brutal cap'ois His words are in vain. He is violently seized and hurried through the streets to the railway station, where a sped il train is in waiting to convey him to Birmingham. On arrival he is locked up in a military prison. Next momiin: he is brought before court mar rial, composed of one Brigadier General, one Colonel, one L ent. Colonel, three M J r and two Captains, and put on trial on a charge of sedition and treason. He declines to acknowledge the iii'isdiction of the court, and demands, as a British snbjict. to be tried before a civil Judge and a jury of his country men. His demand is hannlit'ly and summarily rejected, and the trial proceeds The i 'flic-era and "gentlemen" who condesceude 1 to a -I the part of spies tor the Government, letab and somewhat pervert the exp es sions which he u-ed in denunciation of the war and the conduct of the Administration; and, sf ter an investigation mat lasts two days, Mr. Bright is committed to prison until rhe j'tdces gtee upon their verdict, and decide whether he shall be iin-areerated rill the war is over, banished to Ku.-sia to live for ihe future among befriends with whom le sympathises, or summarily hol, or Imn. Would the Brdish people tamelv submit to such u wrong ii.fi cted even upon a much humbler person tlnn John Bright? would not the new-pa j-ers of all shades ot polilical opinion unite in expressing their indiiMiant di.spleiuie? And would not the House of Commons and the House of Lords alo rinir with ie iium-iatioii of rhe act? And if these bodies were not in session, wonld not every city and town in the empire hold immense public meetings to call u.Min the Queen to dismiss from her councils the unworthy ministry who sodegrnled their function mid so grievously imperiled the public peace?

I have steadily declined to nermit the use of any troops under my command, unless I could be convince! tm all other legitimate means had been tried without succe-s. Already, in one or two case. I hae found that application for military aid had been made without neceity. the enrollment under the law haviiie been completed thoroughly by the willing aid of the civil authorities. The habit of resorting to military force in eve ry trifling case of opiosition or resistance to the laws, is becoming so common as to excite in the minds t judicious me i erv serious alarm. Such a practice entirely supplants the civil authorities. sets aside time honored mean for the enforce ment of the law in thi country, destroys in the citizen tli a feeling of person 'I intereH in their execution, through whhh alone we have m iintained popular government, and prepires'.he pub lie mind for comp'ete abdication of civil rule, (l is impossible, to believe that citizens of this country, ex ept under rhe immediate influence of excitement, can be willinc to tru-t the enforcement of civil law to military force, and thus to surrender the very highest privilege and duty of American citizens. Such a course w ould inevitably lead, if persist 1 in. the complete dominion of the military, and the final overthrow of free Institutions The practice also rei.ds naturally to weaken in the soldier that reverence for the civil law and that respect for the civil authoritie. with which been tered the military service, w hich hestill earnestly cherishes, and upon which alone wc must rely for the qu'et disbanding of our crcat arniie. and the return of the soidier to his home, au orderly, lawabiding cifzen.

Whilst therefore mv dnty to the Government requires me to furnish whatever military aid is necessary to enforce thecorifctipiion law through out this department in strict eeoordanoe with it terms. I shall only emplov rnilit trv force forthat purpose afrer every resource of the civil authority lias been used wiihout success.

The President reply to the Albany Demo, erat is s full of errors, both of logic and fact, that almost any part of it mieht be taken and shown U3 as an example of official ignorance and blundering This arises in part from the inherent error of the position he sumes. But the President's whole argument proceed upon an erroneous idea, that the habets corpus was suspended in Ohio, which was not the fact; and with his premises, therofore, hi reasonings must fall to the ground. but one point of singular application t the cae remains. The President re m irks in the letter: It is asserted, in substance, that Mr. Vallsndigham was, by a military commander, seized and tried, 'for no other reason -than the word addreedto a p'ib meeting in criticism of the course of the Administration, and in condemnation of the military order of the General Jfow if there he no mistake about this; if thi assertion Is he truth nd the whole truth; if there wss no other reason for the arrest, then I concede that the rrest was wrone " Reference to the charge and specifiearlon shows cniie'nslvely that there !s "no mitake about thi. Mr. Vallandipham was tried and eon demned simply for "criticism of the course of the Administration, and in condemnation of the military orders of the General." And evidently without being very certain a to what was the c mseof his condemnation, the President banished him by a comtmitaiion of te sentence of the mil itary tribunal. In tins ease, as the Boston Condier well remarks, the President admits that the arret was wronu. and thus sill which follow it wa wtone; nd in conformity wiih his de ire to apply te proper correction, as expressed else wherein his letter, if wrong has been done. let the President do ustice by thus fulfilling hi pledge and revoking; the nnjut and unlawful sentence against Mr. Vallandigham. f3j!PThe censorship of the press, at Washing ton. is now in the hands of e very verdant young man. whose only claims to eiperence is that be was once a telegraph peratox La a small Tillage.

From tbe Bich mood Enquirer, Jaoc I. The Campaign of l.ee. People in civil life cn Hoi pretend to criticise, in its present stage, a grand Campaign such as that now en'etej utn by cur army of Northern Virginia. We do not eo much as know its bject; nd therefote still less can we pronounce on the suiub'.eneas of the means. Some of tbe Confederate newspapers write a If they hidespec ed the cavalry advance into Pennsylvania to have been t once let loo-e up-rn a general plundering expedition. But independently of the fact that nothing disorgatrzes troops and render them useless like indiscrim-tiate plunder, it is well to recollect that it may lie absolutely ntvessary to ihe general plan to keep that cavalry force well in hand, so as to cover other movements of the main body. On the great ches.board of war there is a mi-hry game in progress; and neither we at borne, tmr Hooker, the opposite player himelf, h n v. et divined the nature of General Lee's comhiiiHtini s. It is true that Confederates owe no consideration or forbearance to their enemies. It is trne, furth

er, that our Getier ils owe it to llielr own eop1e, to visit a terrible devastation and bavoo upon the enemy's country, whenever thev lnve the means in their hands to do so fftectnally, and on a grütid "le. 3ut thi is not yet the ease General Hooker, with a vast army, is stiil to be disposed of, and every movement of each command must, doubtless. Ie calculated with a view to this needfu' preliminary business. It mat be needful even to de -eive the enemv as to the ultimate ohjee of the Conlederate General, by adopting the very course complained of that is. forbearance frora plunder now, on the very threshold of the expedij turn. In order to do the business well and thorj oughly the just retaliation (which we demand and me ioe expects; must ne organized and regnlated as deliberately as any other military movement, audit might be fatel to the whole campaign if Jenkins' cavalry were now permitted to load themselves with plunder, and so. lor the s..ke of the paltry bootv of Chambersburg. mis. perhaps, the splendid prize of Philadelphia. or thecruhiiig blow at the enemy's head in Washington. These are some of the coriderations which should make ns all take patiently, for the j resent, the well pleased announcement mai'e in Yankee papers boul private property leinu hitherto respected and payment made in Confederate bills. Certainly if the expedition of Gen. Lee were to end so if. at the very moment when hordes of Yankee brigands are burning and plundering far and wide over onr eonntrv, not only steaPng all ihey can lay their hnds uron. but letting loose bands of negroes with hatonet in one hand and torches in the other, to the wotk of inrli 'criminate outrage and devastation, our army in Pennsylvania were to rmrch thronch lheci u:itry inst as if it were our own; asking f er mission of Dutch farmers lo draw water at their wells, pressing iheir custom on the smiling sti rckeeoers, and psyinz them in the bet and only kind of monev we ever see at home; and should return so, amid the compliments of the Pennsylvania!, and their be irtily expressed wihes soon to see again amonc them stn h courteous and liberal centlemen in that nnhesrd of a:id nnsupposaie case, the whole world would l.iuj.h n to scorn; it would be said to amount loan admission that we do indeed feel ourselves to lie in unjustifiable rebellion, and have no right to pre-ume to deal with our enemies as they may deal with us. It would be gi virur no the raue; formally surrendering our people throughout every ttate to pillage and oppreinn; inviting a continuance and aggravation of all the evils of invasion, and virtu ally offering the necks of our ringleaders to the hanjrmati. This is so horrible to think of that we may safely conclude it i not the intention ot thegrent chieftain to whom so mighty a task has been intrnsted by the President, and w ho ha up to this day discharged his duty so nobly.
