Capt. Fro hock, of the brig Mary /Urine, says he sailed from Boston June Ist, with 3,200bb15. commissary stores, bound to New Orleans ;atB A. M., on the morning of the 9th inst., lat. 34.25, lon. 74.23, saw a brig standing westward. When she came in our range she set - the American flag at half-mast. Taking it as a signal of distresie I stood, for her and hove to. She sent on board; a : boat with six men, who said their .vessel was the brig Clarence, of' Baltimore, forty days out from Rio de Janeiro, for Baltimore, and wanted pork, beef, and bread. 'While the officer in command was Making these requests, he was approaching the quarter-deck with his rtAn, and having reached it they dnew theft. revol vers, and said that myself and crew_ 'were prisoners, and my vessel a prize to the Confederate States . ; they gave us fifteen minutes -to' leave the brig, with the privilege of taking each a small bag of ,clothes rad soon al we were traniferred to the privateer my ves sel waihurned ; they took nothing from her except ' nautical instruments. Soon after a ,brig from the .North hove in sight; the privateer gave chase till dark, without catching her; while.on board the Co quette .. (or Clarence) T was informed of - the capture of the baOL Whistling Wind (before, reported) ; also, that they had a- few, days previously captured and burned a'schooner whose name was not mentioned. Captain Munday, of the bark Tacony, reports : Sailed from Port Royal on the 7th inst. for Phila. delphia,in ballast.!?. On the morning of the 12th,nat 5.30 A. ,111., lat. 37, lo .nt 75 W.; madea brig ahead With fl the American" flag 'set in diatress.', After 'getting underher stern he hailed the bark and asked if we could furnish him with one day's water, laying he was flfty.tive days put from Rio de Janeiro, and en firely, out of weter t mfd Ifwould do him a great - favor IT giving him.encnigh.to last till he got to the Chesa peake. Seeing nothing' auspicious -looking about `him, I told him I would grafit his request with plea sure. We hove to, and he Senta boat with an officer and five men, whom the,officersaid he-had brought to assist in getting-out the water, so as to cause us no detention. At this time all my men were on deck, when the officer turned on me and, with his, men, drew their revolvers. The"ollicer put his revolter to my face, saying I was a prisoner and my vessel a prize to the Confederate States. We were then ordered on board the: brig, which was called the Clarence, of Baltimore. Captain Ireland, of the schooner BT. A. Shindler, reports : Left North Edisto, C., on. the 9th inst., in ballast, for Philadelphia ; on the morning of the 9th inst. made` brig and bark ahead, both hove to . ; came up with, them about 7-A. M., when the brig set the American flag at the main topmast head; I paid no attention to her till she fired a gun; I then hove to, and was boarded by an armed boat's crew from the brig, who, with revolvers in hand; tole= w'e were prisoners, and my vessel .a prize to* the. Cor i-federate States. We were then sent on boar:111u; brig, with the vessel's paiciers, which were'not ex 'mined. Soon' after 'my vessel was set on flre:,..and' was still inflames,when last I saw her. In addition to the'above we learn From Captain Frobock that the Clarence or Coquette privateer was armed with. four 12-pound guns. On the night of the lath inst., , a lead•colored steamer was sighted by the privateer, and -supposing her to be a Federal cruiser, they hove overboard three of their guns, and hid the fourth in the cabin to avoid suspicion, in case of being overhauled ; but the steamer passed without noticing the rebel. All the daptains agree that while of they were welitreated, but receivednone'ef their - clothes, which were promised them. Captain . Shindler says they even kept his watch. We have no statement yet of the captain of the schooner-Kate Stewart, of and for Philadelphia, from Key West, but we are informed by the parties above mentioned that his vessel was captured eta the 12th instant, and all the prisoners from the other vessels' were put on board, and probably arrived in tbis city during the night. • • • It is alio importaid to mention that the crew of the ,privateer, with and all her Ema il .. nition,ilee., were transferred' life barkinTacony, which ii 3 now a privateer. She is a vessel of 37 . 5 tone, painted black, with bright masts, Very raking, and Moak' tops,,, in her , present trim she is a fast sEdler,; She hailed froniFhiladelphia, and was valued The .brig Mary, Alvina; hailed; from Boston, was 266 tons burden, and valued at $14,000. The M. A. Sheudler was .100 tone burden, hailed from Philadelphia, and was valued at about $lB,OOO. , . The Bate Stewart was released, upon giving a bond for $7,000. Captains Munday, Frohobk, and Ireland, landed at Cohansey, from the Kate Stewart, and arrived in this city after much difficulty. They return their sincere thanks to the captain of the Kate Stewart for the kindness shown themselvei and their crews while on board his vessel. The commander of, the pirate is Charles W. Reed, Of Jackson, Bliss., 'Who represented himself as .a lieutenant commanding. He is a light-built man, and light complexioned, and not disposed to be com municative. _ • - We learn that the • brig Clarence, captured by the Florida, and made a tender to her,. changing her name to Coquette, was armed at this port by Mr. Joseph Crosby. She was bound f.mm Rio de Janeiro With only 230 bags coffee to Baltimore, having sailed onsthe 17th April.. . Se the-Floridaand Coquette have been sailing i n company, and the direction of the latter was north east from the scene of the recent captures, and, therefore, towards our own coast vicinity, this last naval demonstration of the rebels may reasonably inspire some apprehension. A Flag of Truce—Abusing the Mall—Rebel - Reports' of the Cavalry Battle—A Heavy Loss Admitted Stuart's Headquarters WASHINGTON, "June 13.—The latest information from the Rappahannock is up to noon , to-day. A letter sent by Stuart in response to .one from General Pleasanton, asking for a flag of truce, in or der to bury our dead,and proVide for the.wounded, says, in effect, that the have been bttried, and the wounded well cared for. The prisoners have sheen sent to Richmond, but no report of their names had been kept in camp. He therefore declined the fiag'of truce for suchTurposes. Yesterday morning one of our balloons was fired at by the rebel's near Banks' ford. No harni was done, but a sudden descent was the consequence.

Congratulatory Order of General Mc. Clernand. HEADQUARTERS 13T11 ARMY CORPS, Battle-field, In rear of Vicksburg, May 30, 1863. [GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 72.] COMRADES : As your commander, I am proud to congratulate you upon your constancy, valor, and success. History affords no more brilliant example of soldierly qualities. Your victories have followed in such rapid succession that their echoes have not yet reached the country. They will challenge its grate ful and enthusiastic applause. Yourselves striking out anew path, your comrades or the Army of the Tennessee follo,wed, and a way was thus opened for there - to redeem previous disappointments. Your march through Louisiana, from Milliken'a Bend, to New Carthage and Perkins plantation;on the Missis sippi river, is one of the most remarkableion record: Bayous and miry roads threatened with momentary inundations obstructed your progress. All these were overcome by unceasing Tabor and unflagging energy. The two thousand feet of bridging which was hastily improvised out of materials created on the spot, and over which you passed, must long be remembered as a. marvel. Descending the Missis sippi still lower, you were the first to cross the river at Bruin's Landing, and to plant our colors - in the Stateof Missiesippi,belowWarrenton. Resuming the' advance the same day, you pushed on until you came up to the enemy near Port. Gibson. Only re strained by the darkness of-the night, you-hastened to attack him on the morning of the Ist of May, nd, by vigorously pressing him at all points, drove him from his position, taking a large number of prisoners and small arms and five pieces of cannon. General Logan's division came up in time to gallantly share in consummating themost valuable Tictoryworlsince the capture of Fort Donelson.. • Taking the. lead on the morning ,of the 2d- you were the first-to enter Port Gibson, and to . hasten the retreat of the .enemy from the vicirritY of that place. 'During *the'enauing night, as a consequence* -of the victory at Port Gibson, the enemy spiked his guns at Grand Gulf and evacuated that place, re ming upon Vicksburg and Edwards'. Station. . The fall of Grand Gulf was solely the result of the vic- . tory achieved by the land- forces at- Port Gibson. The armament, and public stores captured there are' but thejusttrophies of. that victory. - - Hastening to bridge the south branch of Bayou Pierre st Port Gibson, you crossed on the morning of the 3d, and pushed on to Willow Springs; Big Sandy, and the main crossing of Fourteen-mile creek, four miles from Edwards' Station. -A de detachment of the enemy was immediately driven away from the crossing,' and- you advanced,.passed over, :and rested during the •night of the 12th within three miles of the enemy, in large force at the sta tion. On the morning of the lath, the objective point of the army's movements 'having . been changed - from Edward's Station to Jackson ' in pursuance of an order from the commander of the department, you moved on the north side of Fourteemmile creek toward Fraymond. This delicate - and hazardous movement Was exe cuted by a portion of your mumbers under cover of: Bovey's,Division, which made a, feint of attack in • line nf battle upon Edwards" Station. Too late to harm you, the enemy attacked the rear of that divi sion, butwas promptly and,deciaively repulsed. Reeling near Raymond that - night, on the morning of the 14th you entered that ' , place; one division moving on to Mississippi ppringe, near Jackson, in support of Gen.

' On the:lsth you again led the advance toward Edwards' Station, which once more becanie the ob jective point: -Expelling the enemy's picket- from Bolton the- same .day, you seized and held that im portant position. On the 16th you led the advance in three.columns, upon three roads, against Edwards' Station, Meet ing the enemy on the way, in strong force, you hea vily engaged him near 'Champion Hill; and after a sanguinary and obstinate battle, with the assistance of General MePherson's corps, beat and routed him, taking-many prisoners and small arms, and. 'several pieces' of cannon. _Continuing to lead the advance, you rapidly pur sued the enemy to Edwards' Station, capturing that large quantity of public stores, and many prisoners and small arms. Night only stopped you. At day dawn on the 11th you resumed the adiande, and , early comlng upon the enemy, strcinly en trenched in elaborate works both before and behind' 'Big Black river, immediately opened with artillery. upon him, followed by a daring and heroic charge at the point of the bayonet, which, put hint to rout; leaving eighteen pieces of cannon and more than a thousand prisoners in your hands. . . By an early hour on the morning of the lath you had constructed a bridge across the Big Bladk, and had commenced the advance upon Vicksburg. On the /9th, 20th, and 21st, you continued to recon noitre and skirmish, until you had gained a near ap proach'to the enemy's works. On the 22d, in 'pursuance of the order of the commander of the department, you assaulted the enemy's defences in front at 10 o'clock A.

The object of the expedition was to destroy the resources-of the country to prevent the enemy from subsisting. their armies ; and to drive , out any force he might have in that region, and, ifpossible, to ascertain it the enemy was concentrating in any considerable force for the purpose of raising the siege of•Yicksburg. " We had six brigades, numbering something over ten thousand men. We have Marched 'over a hun dred- miles in, a• week, during the hottest kind of weather.. We destroyed all the forage and supplies and cotton, and ,drove. : off all the cattle, horse% and mules, between.the two lines, for a distance Of fifty miles. We met-no considerable body of the enemy; and had only one or two slight skirmishes ; but we ascertained _where the enemy were concentrating, and gained much valuable information, which mar be of use hereafter.

Since the first, account of their heroic conduct, there have been many ungene rout attempts to disparage them, but General Banks, in his official report, gives them the highest praise, and, in a fuller narrative of the siege ttian has - yet been published, the correspondent of the Times describes their terrible valor : THE BLACK REGIMENTS. Hearing. the firing, apparently more fierce and continuous to the right than any where else, I hur: tied in that direction past the sugar house of Crili Chambers, where I had before slept, and advanced ,to near the pontoon bridge across the Big Sandy bayou, which , the negro regiments had erected, and where they were fighting most desperately. I had seen these brave and hitherto despised fellows the day before, as I rode along the lines, and 'I had seen Gen. Banks acknowledge their respectful salute as he would have done that of any white troops ; but still the question was, with too many, "Will they fight?" The black race was, on.this eventful day, to be put to the test, and the questiod to, be settled, now and forever, Whether or not they are entitled to assert their right to manhood, Nobly; indeed, have they acquitted. themselves,' and proudly l may every colored man hereafter hold up hie head and point to the' , record of those whO fell on that bloody field. - JJ Gen. Dwight, at least, must have.had the idea not only that they were men, but something more than men, from the _terrific teat to which ,he put their valor. Before any impression had been made upon the earthWorke of the enemy, and in frill face of bat. teries belching forth their 62-pounders, theie devoted people. were rushed forward to encounter grape, canister,' shell,..and musketry, with no artillery, but twoemall howitzers—that seemed mere popluns to . their adversariel=and :no reserve whatever. Their , forcesconsieted of the Ist Louisiana Native: ' Guards,,(With colored field officers,) under Lieuten ant Colonel Bassett, and the 3d Louisiana Native GuardsoColonel Nelson; (with white -field officers,)' the whole under the charge of the latter officer. - On going into action they were 1,080 strong, and formed into four lines, Lieutenant Colonel Bassett, Ist - Louisiana,'forming the first line, and Lieutenant . Finnigas the second.

During this time, they ',rallied, - and - were ordered to paha sin distinct charges; losing 37 killed, and had 165 wounded, and 116 niissing,the majority; if - not all, of these being, in alb Probability, nowlying dead on.the gory field, and'Withoutthe rites of sepulture for when, by a, flag,of truce, our forces in other directions were per rnitted, to reclaim their dead, the benefit, through some neglect, was not extended to these black regi ments. The deeds of heroism performed by these colored 'men. were such .as the proudest white men might emulate. Their colore are torn to and by shot, and literally bespattered' by blood and brains. The color sergeant of the lit Louisiana, on being mor tally. ivounded, hugged the colors to his-breast, when a struggle ensued between the two color corporals, on each side of him, as to who should have the honor of bearing the sacred standard, and during this gene muff ;contention, one was seriously wounded. One black lieutenant actually mounted the enemy's works three or four times, and in one charge the-as saulting party came within fifty paces of them. In deed,- if only ordinarily supported by artillery and reserve, no one can convince us that they would not have opened a passage through the enemy's works.

I could go on filling your columns with startling facts of this kind, but I hope I have told enough to prove that we can henceforth rely upon blackarms as well aa white in crushing this infernal rebellion.

Having arrived at the edge of the woods, a large open field presented itself to view, about a mile in "length from left 'to right, and "ak..least half st_mile A11.1)010 . 6 where the rebel' batteriere stood bristling With , meriand cannon::-Across - thiefieldlhe assault WasJo be made. _ A more difficult and hcirrible teak was never: required , of brave men. Ther entire sur face of the field was recently a dense forest, and the trees, fallen in places, had ao interlaced 'their stumps and branches'with the thick brushwood beneath 'as to form 'EL barrier all but inipassable.' But there lay the enemy's works right in front, stretching entirely across the open'space, and across that dreadful inter val of half a mile was the only approach to them. Such an• impediment was enough to daunt the stoutest hearts, but our men•are not made of ordi nary stuf. They had been told "..Port Hudson must be taken to- daft," and at it,thiy - went, in highest spirits, their brave general go,big into the thick of it on foot, as it did , notseem possible for &horse to'ad vance one step through such rubbish. As soon, as the men emerged from the wood, the enemy, no doubt delighted at..finding them in the very trap they had laid for thairiso invitingly, com menced upon them a murderous tire from three pieces, of artillery, with grape and shell, accompanied by musketry. So incessantly was the latter kept up that it was evident they. Led two whole regiments lining the:fortifications, one to fire while the other was loading.. The result is easily imagined. =lt was not war, but downright slaughter ;;• as much so as when a battue of pheasents are driven into an enclosure for sports men's practice. Amazing as the story will sound, one man was found dauntless enough to enter that dreadful place on horseback, and that .was that brave youngofficer, Col. Bartlett, of the 49th Massachusetts. Having previously lost.' a leg'on the peninsula, he was una - Ole to go on foot, and therefore ventured on horse back, where it, might- have been difficult to:get any ' sane man to follow, end was to be seen floundering, among the interlacing . rubbish to his horse' neck, in the thickest of the fray, and 'waving his sword to cheer on -his men, who were dashing forward with impetuosity, and returning fire• as best they could.

On being told his, name, "That walla brave man," said the rebel 'officer; "we were so strUck by his conduct that we gave orders not to shoot him." He was shot, however, one"ball pene trating his, wrist, and another his other leg, but for tunately only, slight wounds. • .

Still , on they tvent,some of-.them coming.% within a-few yardi of the batteries 'only to meet certain .death. ' The mortality was fearful. The gallant and much beloved Colonel 'Chapin, after getting nearly up, to the brerietworks, was -shot in the leg, but still went onward, and received a mortal wound in the breast.

Hon. Erastua Corning and others: GENTLEKE.N; Your letter of May 19,, enclosing the reso lutions of a public meeting held in Albany, New York, on the 16th of the same month, was received several days . - . n The resolutions, as I understand them, are reeoly'aere" into two prepositiens—nrst, the expression of, a purpose ,to sustain the cause of the Union, to secure peace through victory, and to support the administration- in every con stitutional and lawful measure to suppress the rebellions and secondly, a declaration of Censure upon, the Adminis . tration -for supposed unconeitutional action, such as the making of military arrests. And, from the two propo . sitione, a third is deduced, which is that the gentlemen composing the meeting are resolved on doing their part to maintain our common Government and country, de-- spite the folly or, wickedness, as they may conceive, of any Administration. This position is' eminently patri otic, and as such, Ithank the meeting, and congratulate' the nation for it. My own purpose is the same, so that the meeting and 'myself havea common object; and can have no difference, except in the choice of mane or measures for effecting ehat object. And here Fought to close this paper, and would close it, it' there were no apprehension that more injurious consequences than any merely personal to myself might follow the ceneures systematically cast - upon um for do ing wb at, in my view of duty, hoould not forbear. .The. resolutions promise to support me in every constitutional and lawful measure to , suppress the rebellion; and I have not knowingly employed, nor shall knowingly em play, any other. But the meeting, by their resolutions, assert, and argue that certain military arrests, and pro- ceedings following them, for, which I am .ultimately re sponsible. are unconstitutional. I think they are not. The resolutions quote from the Constitution the defini ' lion of:treason, and' also the. limiting safeguards and guarantees therein provided for the citizen on trials for _ treason, and on his being held to answer for capital or otherwise infamous crimes. and in criminal prosecutions, his right to -a speedy and public trial,by an impartial • Y. They proceed to resolve " that these safeguards . of the eights of the, citizen against the pretensions of arbitrary' power were intended more especially for his protection: in times of civil commotion:".And, appa rently to demonstrate the proposition, the resolutione proceed: "They were secured substantially to the Eag les-1i people after years of protracted civil war, and were adopted into one Constitution - at- the close of the Reap- Julien." Would not the demonstration have been better if it could have been truly said that these safeguards had been adopted and ap plied during :the civil wars and during our Revolution, instead-of- after the one and at the close of the other ? - I, too, am devotedly for them after 'civil war and before civil war, and at all timas, " except when, in cases of rebellion and inva sion, the public safety may require" their suspension. The resolutions proceedito tell us that these sefeguards 'Shave stood the test of seventy-six-years-of trial, under our republican system„ under circumstances which I show that, n bile they constitute :the. foundation of all free government, they are the elements of the enduring stability of the. Republic.” - -No. one denies that they have so stood the test up, to the beginning of. the present rebellion, if we except a certain occurrence at New Or leans ; nor does any one question that they will stand the same teat much - tenger safter the rebellion closes. But these provisions of the Constitution have no applica tion to the case we have'in hand-, because the arrests complained of were not Made for treasone that is, not for the treason defined in the Constitution, and upon the conviction of which, the-punishment is death; nor yet were they made to hold persons to answer for any-cap:- tat or ctherw ise infamous crimes; nor were the pro ceedings following, in any constitutional - or legal sense, criminal prosecutions. The arrests were made 'on totally different grounds, and the proceedings following accorded with the grounds of the arrests. Let ui Gen eider the real case with - which we are keeling, and ap ply to it the parts of the Constitution plainly made for each chem. - . . Prior to my installation here it had_ been inculcated that any State had a lawful right to secede from the na tional Union, and that it, would he expedient to exercise the right whenever the devotees of the doctrine should . fail to elect a President to their, own liking. I was-elect ed contrary to their liking; and, accordingly, so far as it was legally possible, "they had taken seven States out of the Union ehad seized many of the United States forts, and had tired upon the. United States flag, all before -was inaugurated, and. of corse, before I had done any 'official 'act whatever. The'rebellion' thus Mein soon ran into the present civil war; and, in certain respects, it began on very unequal terms between the parties. The insurgents bad -been preparing for it more than thirty years, white the Government had taken no steps to resist them. The .former had carefully considered all the means which could be turned-to their account. It undoubtedly was a well-pondered reliance with them that in their own- - unrestricted efforts to destros' Union,- Constitution, and, law, all together; the:: GOvernment would, in -great degree, be restrained by the same Constitution and law from arresting their pro gress. Their sympathizers. pervaded all departments of the Government and nearly all communities of the peo ple. 'From this .material, undercover of "-liberty of speech," • • liberty o f . the press..' and :habeas corpus, " they hoped- - to keep on foot' amongst us a most efficient . corns of epieseinfoemers, suppliers, and eiders and abet- - tors of their. cause . in a thousand ways. They-knew. that in times' such as they were. inaugurating ' by the Constitution itself. _the- habeas oneness might be ens pen ded ; but they-also knew they had friends who would - make a question as to t 01,20 was to suspend it; meanwhile their spies and others might-remain at large to help on then-cause. Or if, as -has lippened,, the Execu tive should suspend the writ, without ruinous waste of time, instances of arresting innocent persons might - occur, occur, as are always likely to occur in . such cases; and then a clamor could be raised in regard to this, which might bee at least of some service to the insurgent,cause. It - needed .no-very keen perception to ,discover.this part of the enemy's programme. so soon as by open hostilities their : machinery was fairly put in motion. Yet, thoroughlyimbued with a reve rence for .the. guaranteed, rights, of individuals, I was slow to adopt the, strong - measures which by degrees I have been forcedto regard as being within.the exceptions of the Constitution, and as indispensable- to the public -safety. Nothing is better known_ to history than - that - courts ofjustice are . utterly incompetent to' such cases.. Civil courts , are organized chiefly for: trials of indin viduals, or, at most, a few individuals acting in concert, and this in quiet times; and 'on charges of crimes well defined in - the law._ Even. in, times of peace bands of '- horse-thieves and robbers frequently grow too minter out and powerful for the ordinary courts ofjustice. But what comparison in numbers have such' bands ever - borne-to .the insurgent sympathizers, even:in many of tam loyal States? Again, a jury too frequently has at least one member more ready to hang the panel than to hang the traitor. And yet, again, he who dasundes one man from volunteering, or induces one soldier to desert, weakens the Union 'cause as much as he who kills a Union soldier in battle. Yet this disseasion or induce ment may be so conducted as to be no defined crime of - which any civil court;would take cognizance. Ours is a case of rebellion—so called by the resolntions before me—in fact, a clear, flagrant, and gigantic case of rebellion; and the provision of the Const - tution that ." the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be snspeeded, unless when; in case of rebellion or invasion, the nubile safety may require it." is the provision which - specially applies to our - present case; This provision plainly attests the understanding of those who made the Constitution, that ordinary courts of justice are in- - adequate to " cases of rebellion;" attests their purpose that, in such cases; men may be held-in custody whom the conrte, acting: on ordinary, rules, would discharge. Habeas corpus does not discharge men who are proved to be guilty of defined crime; and its suspension is al lowed by the Constitution on purpose that men may be arrested and held who cannot be proved to be guilty of defined crime. when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it. " This is precisely our Present case, a case of rebellion, -wherein the public safety does require the suspension. Indeed, arrests by proces of courts. and . arrests in cases of rebellion, do not pro ceed. altogether upon the same basis. The former.. is directed at the smell percentage of ordinary and con- _ tinuous perpetration of , crime, - while the latter is reeled at sudden. and extensive - uprisings- against the - Government, which, at most, will succeed or :fail in no great length Of time. In the latter , case, arrests are made, not so much for what has been done, as for what' Probably would. be done. The latter is more for. the preventive and less for the vindictive than the former. neneh cases the purposes of are much-more easily understood than in cases of ordinary crime. ; The roan who stands by and says nothing when the Peril of his Government is diecuse.ed, cannot be misunderstood. If not hindered, he is sure. to help the enemy ; much-more,- if he talks anthigootisly, talks for his country with - "buts" and "ifs" and." ands. " Of - hoer little value the constitutional provisions P have quoted will be ren ders d, if arrests shall never - be made until defined crimes shall have been committed, may be illustrated by a few . notable examplee. General John C. Breckin_ridgee Gene ral Robert E.. Lc*, General Joseph E.-Johnston, General John Magruder, General William B. Preston, General Simon - B. Buckner, and Commodore Franklin Buchanan, now occupying theesery,highest places in the rebel war service, were all within the power of the Government • since the rebellion began, and were nearly as welt known . to be - traitors then as now. Unquestionably, if -we had seized and held them, the insurgent cause , would be - much weaker. -Bet no one of them had then committed any crime defined in the law. Eyery one of them, if arrested, would have been discharged on habeas corpus were the writ allowed to operate. In view of these and similar cases,- I think the• time not unlikely to come when I shall be blamed for having made too few . arrests . rather tb au too many. n e e - By the third resolution the; meeting, indicate their opinion that military arrestie May -be , constitutional in localities where rebellion actually-exists, .but that such arrests are-unconstitutional in, localities where yebel ineurrectinn -does .not --actually - exist.' They insist that such-arrests shall. not be. made "outside of the 'lines of necessary "Ailitary. occupation, - and the , scenes of :inairrection." Inasmuch, leawever, 'as the Constitution- itself makes, no-such distinction, I am" ' unable to believe that there is any micheconstitutional , distinction. 4" I connede that the class of arrests com plained, of can be constitutional only when, - in -cases of rebellion or invaeion e: the -public safety may require - _ them: and I insist that, in' such cases, they are consti , national:wherever thepublic safety ,doessrequire them e as ;well in places tcswhich they may- Prevent the rebel ' lion 'extending, asnii those where it may ,he already Prevailing; as well where they may restrain• mischie vous interference, with, the raising and- supplying- of: armies tO suppress the eebellion, as where the rebel lion - may actually be f'as .where ..they may - ree strain the enticing ,men outo of the , army, es where they would prevent mutiny inethe army; equally con . stitutional at all places. where they .will conduce to the public safety; as' - against the' dangers of rebellion or invasion,- Take the particular case mentioned by the' ' Meeting. it is asserted, is substance, that Mr. Yellen < digham waseby a military coirrmander, seized and tried, ".for me ether reason than words addressed - to a:public ' meeting, in criticism of the course of the Administration. :sand in condemnation of the military orders of the gene-, rel."- Nowe le there bey no - mistake . about this; if this . , assertion is the truth, and the whole truth;, if there was 'Me other reason - for the`arrest: then I' Concede' that the arrest:wait wrong.: •But iliearreet; as I understand, was made for a very different, reason.

We are sure to expend much of our ingenuity and strength in - finding fault with, and aiming blows at, each other. But, since you have deraied me this, I will yet be thank ful, for the country's salve, that not all Democrats have done so. He on whose discretionaryjndgment Mr.. Val landigham wee arrested and tri.d is a Democrat, having no old party affinity with me f and the judge who. re jected the constitutional view expressed in' theserescia lions, by refusing to discharge Mr. Vallandigharn on , habeas corpus, is a Democrat of better days than these; having received his judicial appointment at the hands. of President Jackson. And still more, of all those De mocrats who are nobly exposing their lives and shedding their blood on the battle-field, I have learned that many approve - the course taken withVallandiOsar, while I have not heard of a single one condemning- it. I cannot assert that there are none each. And the nameof Presi, dent Jackson recalls an instance of pertinent history. After the battle of New Orleane, and while the.faet that the treaty of peace had been concluded was well known. in the city, but before official knowledge of it had ar rived, General Jackson still maintained martial .or military law. Now, that it. could be said the war was. over, the clamor against martial law, which had existed Irma the first, grew more furious. Among other things-, a Mr. Lonaillierpublished a-denunciatory newspaper article. General Jackson arrested him: A lawyer by the. name of Morel procured the United States'Aplge Hall to order a writ of habeas corpus to relieve Mr. Lonaillier. General Jackson arrested both the lawyer and the judge.- A Mr. Hollander ventured to say of some part of the matter that "it was a - dirty. trick." General Jackson arrested him When 'the e/licer undertook to serve tte writ of habeas COIPUR. General 'Jackson took it from him, andi sent him away with a copy.- Holding the judge. in custody a few .days, the General sent him beyond the limits of the encampment, and set him at liberty. with' au order to remain till the ratification of peace should, be regularly announced, of until the British- shonld, have left the Southern coast. A day or two more elapsed, the ratification of the treaty of peace was. regularly an nounced. and the judge and others-were fully-liberated. : A few days more, and - the judge called- General Jackson into court and fined hiin a thousand , dollars•for having, arrested him and rhe•others named.. The General paid the, fine, and there the matter rested. for nearly thirty years,. when Congress refunded principal and interest. The late Senator Douglas, then in the House of. Repre-: sentatives, took a leading part in the debates, in which the constitutional question wa.s/xtuch discussed. lam net prepared to say whom the journals would show ta have voted for the measure. . •- - .It may be remarked first,. that we had the same Con stitution then as now secondly, that we then' had a, case of invasion, and now we .have a case of rebellion; and_thirdly, that the permanent right of the' people , to. Public discussion; the liberty of speech and of the-Press, ~ the- trial - by jury,' the law of , evidence, and the. habeas..' corpus, suffered no detriment whatever by that conduct ,of General Jackson, or its subsequent, approval by. the - American Congress. - - And yet, - let me say, That, in my own discretion, I do. not know whether Lwonld=have ordered the arrest of - Mr. Vallandigham While I cannot shift the reaponsi bility front myself, I hold that, as a general- rule, the.' commander imthe field is the better judge of the neces sity in any particular case. Of course; 1 must practise-a generaldirectory andrevisory power in the matter.- - One of the resolutions expresses the opinion . of the. meeting-that at arbitrary arrests will have the effect to di-. vide and distract those who Sherd t be nirited.in suppress- ing the rebellion, an d.l am specifically called,lon td d is charge Mr. Vallandigham. I regard.this act as, at least, a fair appeal to me on the expediency of exercising a constitutional power which I think exists. Istresponse to such appeal I have only to, say, it gave me pelf' when I learned that Yallandigham had. been arrested— that ir, I-was pained that there should - have seemei to 'be .a necessity for arresting him—and that it will afford me great pleasure to disehae him' s° soon as can, by any means, believe the puMic safety will -not suffer by.- it. I further say, that as the war progresses, it appears to. me, opinion and action, which were in great confusion at first, take shape and, fall into more regular channels, - solhat the necessity for strong dealing with them gra dually decreases. I have every reseon to desire that, ' should cease altogether, and far from the least is my Te gard for the opinions and wishes of those Vsehq, like the meeting at Albany, declare their purpose to sustain the Government in evqry constitutions' and lawful measure to suppress the relfellion, Still, I most continue to do so , much as may seem to be required hi the public safety. - I A. LINO AN. The - Ohio Pemocracy. We have further intelligence from the Cincinnati papers of the Convention at Columbus. Accounts agree that the assemblage was very large. Among the speakers was Dr. Olds. He, in the course of his speech, said that the present ground swell of the people, of Ohio reminded him of the campaign of 1828, when Jackson was the nominee for President. As then, so it is now—the people are here instead of the politicians. Then every bush that was shook ejected a Jackson Democrat. Now, every bash shaken casts forth a Vallandighanarner. [Cheers.] He would , rather throw himself beneath the car of Juggernaut than to be beneath the bil lows against Yallandigham. The people of New York, Indiana, Illinois, and the entire North were watching eagerly for the result of to-day's work in Ohio, and it was important that the issue be 'met boldly, fairly, and with determination. The speakv then referred to the decision of Judge= Leavitt, of Cincinnati, (groans,) whom he declared to be beneath the dignity of.the American people.
