The Sentence of Vallendigham-
Clement L. .Tallandigham has been
sentenced by the President of the Uni
te (&Btatfs to be sent ; South, in to the
lines of . the enemy. Notwithstand
ing the ’evident mildness of, this disp )-
silion of this Traitor to his count! y,
Ywe find many sympathisers in the
■North—amongst.them, of course, the
Western Star— finding great fault with
ihe'Administration for this course.—
But upon taking a calm and fair ’vicw
of the. subject,, there is no point in
which eillber Mr. Yallandigham or bis
snjjporuh-s can find any valid objec
tion to this course.
Mr. Yallandigham- has always con- j
teiideii that, io this war, the North j
I.’ ' I
were tne aggressors, that Jefferson!
Davii and his allies were battling for j
lb‘a and his sympathies j
were with them rather than with the i
Administration; therefore he can not 1
but look upon it as fitting that he |
sbfauld berreturned to hisSfrlendn. Hei
will now be. with those whom he has j
■always- praised; he will be with bis'
friend Davis, and can do, all- the good
he can for the Southern Confederacy.
There is no impropriety in 'thus Bend
ing out of thia country, and consigning
to-Davis, all those who are more, fa
vorablb to the success of the South
than the North. Let the thing be
i done fairly. Let each party and each
section have its own friends within its
.own confines. Those, who are,for
Jcff.lDavis and the Southern ©onied-'
e'racy, sbonM bo sent into the South
ern (-oufedurapy to co-oper ate with
their friends.
.We. observe that the,Southern pa-ii
pers are inuding Ya*!ljindighaiTi to the!
■kies, and making much ado over nisi
treatment. They can now have an j
opportunity of showing their appro- i
cialion of their Northern- friendn.— |
Thp Messrs. Wood, and others of that j
•i.trjpe, be scr.Loff to Dixie.;
and ] we presume if they do not mend I
their ways tliat they soon will t
the sooneritbo, better. v ' ■ j |
• ' Ko nan can pretend with any fait
T,HH« that those who arc really opp6sod
to the war at the present stage of the
conflict, when, all the energies 01. the
nation are called forth to put ciownJ
. ■ tin* r< bcllior., and °wheu it is a ease of i
j fiM/'or life or death to jthe Union, no j
man can. wb sa£, protend that oppo-1
siiioH to the war if any thing bathos
. tilityJb ihe’coualry, and .any apologj
' for Vallandigham, or any expressions
of sympathy in his case is bnt an in*
dication of that hostility. The friends
of the Government ere not the friends
.of Ya'dandighara. His friends must
; bo the daienda-of Davis; there is ho
halt way about it.
, The Administration is unjustly ae
ctiscd of harshness and, tyranny!in
■ dealing with these .enemies, and are
told that "these misguided men should
be let alone." Such pleas come with
an ill,'grace from those who have been
sympathising witfi the Government,
and with much worse from those who
bave.not been heartily with the Goy-
errimcnt. in ..'putting down the rebel
* lion. The. following. wljleh] we clip
' from the Pittsburg Dispatch , expios.
v #ts ouf meaning fully upon this point:
‘The able decision of Judge Lea
vitt. upon the application lor a 1 writ
of habeas corpus in I .the case of C. L.
Tailandigliani. will be read with satis-;
faction by every loyal man in the
country. The copperhead conserva
tives have already divided the Law
• Judges ot the North into two classes,
one-willing pn all (occasions to seize
upon pretexts for hampering the Gov
ernment iu the execution of military
' law, and the otjher rather disposed to
, err in favor pi, than against the.
' else of necessary military powers.—
The former elans have hcbn tbo-recip
ients of much fulsome adulation, from
' conservative’' writers, the latter 6f
. 'much unwarranted virulence. The
practice ;ha» become io decided, and
so firinly established, that we have
learned, to expect a storm of malicious
.. comment' upon every such .decision.
’ and a failure of this sequence to Judge
Leavitt’s decision will esito more -as
tonishment than the vilest attacks on
his judicial reputation.”

(Q-Tne news from tlie Army ofthe!
Potomac, the past week, is
quite meager. The return of thoi
nine molnchs’ men, most of .wbomj
were with this army'; has,. it ‘is said.l
copsidcrably reduced the effective force
under Gen. Booker, and it is quite
doubtful! whether ho will make anoth-.
cr movement till reinfore'ed. Mean
wlrile liio army still continues to hold
its hid position at Falmouth.!
Affarsin the\Soulh-west, however,
look much more encouraging. Gon.
Grant has captured Jacksonville Cap
ital of the State of Mississippi, and
defeated the rebel forces in a hotly i
contested battle between-Jaekson and
Vicksburg. The railroads haye been
broken |np, and a very largo amount
of rebel property has been destroyed.
The deteat of the rebels atlVicJts
burg and the capture of th« city is
reported, but nothing official has been
received at Washington.
| Affairs in Tennessee are pretty
much the same ns at last advices.—
Eosecrans still holds his position, and
Bragg is not strong enough: to attack
him; ' > ’ ,
' rebels have had the
worst of it so far during Uie spring
campaign. A vigorous prosecution
of the advantages already gained
would seem to be the best movement
that the Administration' could .make.

The Wcllsyille adcommodiition tram,

almost wearied out in waiting, tor the

ously resisted the motion, and finally
consented 'that Mr. Bradshaw’s depo

the Beaver county District Attorney,
procured the deposition, but under

Mrs.. Bradshaw died about an hour
before her husband reached Beaver,
and had been buried when Mr. Rutan

noon, entering court in the midst of

the fact that the said Eli F. Sheets
