Mr. Perry, who appears with the Dia trict Attorney for Gen. Burnside, presented the follow ing statement from the General. Headquarters Department of the Ohio, C'ncinniii, Ohio, May 11, lbti3- )

To the Honorable the Circuit Court of the United States within and for the South, em District of Ohio: The undersigned, commanding the Department of the Ohio, having received no tice from the Clerk of said court that an application for the allowance of a writ of habeas corpus will be made thin morning bcfoie your Honors on behalf of Clement L. Vallandigham, now a prisoner in my custody a-ks leare to submit to the court the following. Statement: If I were to indulge in wholesale criticisms of the policy of the government, it would demoralize the army uuder my command, and every friend of his country would call me a tiaiior. It the officers or soldiors were to ii dulge in ?uch criticism, it would weaken the army to the extent of their influence; and if this criticism were universal in tho army, it would cause H to be broken to pieces, the government to be divided, our homes to be invadvd, and an arcby lo reign. My duty to my govern ment iorbida me to indulge iu such criticisms; oHieers aiid oldiers are not allowed lo 8o indulge, and this course will be sustained by all honest men. Now, I will go further- We are in a state ot civil war. One of the States of this department is at this moment invaded, and three others have bet-n threatened. I command the depattmcnt, and it is my duty to my country and to this army to Let p it ii the best possible condition; to eve that ii is fed, armed, und, as far as p'ftible, to aeo that it U encouraged. Il I it is my duty and the duty, of tho J - J 1 to avoid saying any tliin-r that would j e j o Wkon lho " b-v Pventing a single recruit lrom joining tho ranks, by bringi"g the hi w 3 of Congrea . into disrepute, or ö r by causing disiHtishictK'U in the ranks, it : in tonally me uuiy of every citizen iu me dep irtinent to aoid the samo evil. If it is my duty to prevtnt the propagation of this evil in the army, or iu a portion of mv department, it is equally my duly in 1 . . ' a!l I'orli'jiiB of i: and it is m v dutv to use -t J . .'I I liu r..r...t Ii .i.V. n. -... I.. . I . . -. t If I were to lind a man from the enemy's country distributing in my camp speeches of their public men that (ceded to demoralize the taoops, or to destroy their eoiifijeiico in the constituted authorities of the Government, I would have him tried and hung if found guilty, and all the rules of modern waifare would sustain me. Why should such speeches from our own public men be allowed? Tho press and public mea, in a great emergency like the jreent, should avoid ihvi use of party epithets aud bitter iuvectivis, and discourage the organization of s crel political societies, which are always undignified and disgraceful to a free people, but now are absolutely wrong and iuj ni'.u; they create dissensions and discoid, which jubt now amount to treason. Tha simple namea "Patriot" and "Traitor" are comprehensive enough. As I before said, we are iu a state of eivil war, aud an emergency ia upon U6 which requites the operations of some power that moves more quickly than the civil. There never was a war carried on successfully without the exercise of lhat power;. Ii i said that the speeches which are condemned we e made ia li e presence of largo bodies of citizens, who, if they thought htm wrong, would l ave then and there condemned them, That ia po argu ment Thee ciliz -ns do not realize the effect upon ihe army of our country, who arc its defenders. They have never been in lh field; never fae-d the enemies ol their country; never undergone the privations of our soldiers in the field; ami, be bides, they have been in the habit of hearing their public men kpeak, and, as a general thing, of approving of what they say; therefore the greater rewponsibihly restn upon the public men and upon the public press, and it behooves them to bo careful as to what they say. They must not use license and plead that they ate exercising liberty. In this department it cannot be done. 1 shall use all the power 1 have to break down such luwuce, und I am sure I will be sustained in this course by all honest men. At all event?, I will have the consciousness, before God, of having don my duty to my country, and, when I am swerved from the performance ot that duty by any prstir, public or private, or by any prejudice J will no longer be a man ot a patriot. I again as-crt that every power I possess on earth, or that H given me from above, will be used in defence of my government, on all occasions, at all times, and all places within tho department. Thro h no ptr-

ty no community no Slate government no Slate legislative body no corpora tion or body of inen, that have the power to inaugurate a war policy that has the validily of law and power but ihe consumed authorities of the government of the United States; and I am determined to support their policy, If the people do not approve that policy, they can change the constitutional authorities of that government, at the propper time and hy the proper method. Let them freely discuss iho

policy in a proper tone; but my duty requires me to stop licenese and intemperate discussion, which leDd to weaken the authority of the govcrnraont and army; while the latter is in tho presence of the enemy, it is cowardly bo to u eaken it. This license could not be used to our camps; the man would be torn to pieces who would f ttempt it. There is no fear of the people losing their liberties; we nil know that to be the cry of demagogues, and none but tho igno rant will listen to it. All intelligent men know that vur people are too far advanced in the scale of religion, civilization, education, and freedom, to allow any power on earth to interfere with their liberties; but this same advancement in thee great characteristics of our people teaches them to raak all necessary sacrifice for their country, when emergency requires. They will support the constituted authorities of ihe government, whsiher they agree with them or not. Indeed. th: armv itself is , ... . a part of the people, a'.d is so thoroughly educated is the lovo of civil libeity, which is the best guarantee for the permanence of our rtpub.iean institutions, that it would itself be the first to oppose any attempt to continue the exereisi of military authority after the establishment of peace by' the overthrow of ihe rebellion. No man on earth can lead onr citizen soldiery to the establishment of a military despotism, and no man living would have the follv to j attempt it. To do so would be to seal hi own doom. On this point th.re can be no ground for appehension on the part of the people. It is said that we can have peace if we by dewn cur arms. a11 sensible men know I this to be untrue. Wer it so, ouht we to be so cowardly as to lay them down until tLe authority of the government ii acknowledged? I 1 eg to call upon the father, mother-, b: others, sisters, fops, daugii-r, relatives. fiiends and neighbors of ihe soldiers in the tld, to aid me in I topping this license and intemperate discouraging our armes, weakening the hands of the government and thereby strengthening the enemy. II we use our honest efforts, God will hies. us vsith a glourious peace and a, united country. Men of every shado of opinion have the same vital interest in the suppression of the rebellion; for, should wo fail in this task the dread horrors and distracted nation will fall alike oa all, whether patriots oi traitors. These are, substantially, my reason for issuing -General Order No. 33:M my rea sons for the determination to enforce it; and alo my reasons for the arrest of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham, for a eupposed violation of thai order, for which he has been tiied. Thereaultofth.it trial is now in my hands. In enforcing thi order, I can be unanimously sustained by the people, and I can be opposed by factious, bad men. In the former event, quietness will prevail; in the latter event, th responsibility and reiribu tion will attach io the men who resist the authority aud the neighborhood that allow it. All of which is respectfully submitted, A. Ti. Blrnside. Major GenerAl, Conmiaiiu DtDj rtment of the Ohio. Mr: lugh then moved tint the supplication for a writ of habeas corpus ho granted, and proceeded in a lengthy and learn ed argument to discuss the writ of habeas corpus, indemnity act, artiwles of war, constitutional provisions touching on the question of personal liberty, Gen. Hum. side's angers, which he took up paraprnph by paragraph, and closed by an eloquent tribute to the Federal compact, and the necessity for in perpetuity and prescrra tion, that its law and constitution shah bo faithfully and jealously observed. The argument of the distinguished jurist occupied ihreo hours in delivery, and was listened to with profound interest aud t rcath leas attention. The citation of authorities wan immense, and the deductions made very searching and elaborate. In the course of Mr. l'ugh'a argument, the court interposed anJ uked counsel the who resisted the application to state what points llwy proposed raising why tho writ should not issue tho statement of Gn. Hurnside not stating clearly and distinctly the grounds of objection. Mr. Perry replied that tho objections made were, that the affidavit o? Mr. Pugh for Mr. Vallandigham was insufficient, and that the artest was made by the military duH'Mj the xt:teuw cf aM! wir, rv1 tho

ameas if the army were in the fie j J. Intimations being made by Mr. Perry lhat the General was acting under martial law, the court inquired for proof that this district was under martial law, to which Mr. Perry answered: 'General historical knowledge."

After Mr. Pugh had concluded, Mr Perry stated that he was called by General Burnside to aesist the District Attorney, without any instructions as to what course to pursue. He then proceeded to review the form of the proceedings. Counsel for Mr. V. llandigham had intimated that the question now before this court would be taken up to the Supreme Court on a writ of error. In the discussion of tho main question, Mr. Perry claimed that tho arresi was legal, aud, as the issuing of the writ would bonugatory in its operations,u should not be issued by the court. The affidavit docs not deny tha. the prisoner is guilty of the charges preferred by Gen. Buruside. If such speeches are permited to be delivered and distributed throughout the army in the field, and the freedom of the mails in their transportation tolerated, then the entire effect in demoralization will be produced. The learned gentleman then reviewed the commencement of the rebellion, and how the civil powers were com polled to throw themselves upon the military arm of the government for piotec'ion. Civil remedy was no remedy. Now, this discus-ion is going on within a garrison and protected by fortifications mounted with a cannon. This court owes its existence to the military power. It was necessary for the morale of the army that public appeals against the government and continued crusades against the war should stop. It was the merest farce to put a military commander here that could not suppress such a thing, and to make an army efficient it is necesary to protect armies against all such disorganizing in lluences. He believed that martial law ipso facto existed, and under that existence Gen. Burnide derived his authority to act. Mr. Perry cited numerous decis ions and authorities in support of his argument. The court adjourned until this morning at 9.3J, when the argument will be resumed by Mr. Perry, and closed by Messrs, Bell and Pugh. (FronTiIani Journal of Health.) Position iu Sleeping. It is better to go to 6leep on the right side, for then the 6tomach is very much in the position of a bottle turned upside d.itvn and tha nrthf.ir.iä nf ?t dri aided ill . i . passing out by gravitation, If one goes to , , , V. i .i e .

If the arrest is partial, the sleep is disturbed, and then are im pleasant dreams. If ihe meal has been recent and hearty the arrest is more decided; and the various sensations, 6U2h as falling ovet a precipice, or the pursuit of a wila beast, or other impending danger, and the desperate effort to get rid of it, arouses us and sends on the stagnating blood; and we awake in a flight or trembling, or perspiration.or feeling of exhaustionccording to the degieo of stagnation, and tho length and strength of the efforts made to escape the danger when we do fall over the precipice when the tumbling building crushes us what then?
