"CLING TO THE CONSTITUTION, AS THE SHIPWRECKED MARINER CLINGS TO THE LAST PLANK, WHEN NIGHT AND THE TEMPEST CLOSE AROUND BIM."-DANIEL WEBBTER. Air Several communications are unavoidably crowded out this week, in consequence of the great length of the war news. They will appear in our next issue. Return of the Volunteers. The 122 d Regiment (Col. FRANK LIN'S) is expected to arrive at home this afternoon, having reached Har- risburg on yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The Regiment participated in the series of terrible battles be yond Fredericksburg, and, we regret to add, lost about 110 of its gallant men in killed, wounded, and mis sing. Several of the latter may have been taken prisoners. A list of the casualties will be found in another column. The committee of Councils have made ample arrangements to give the brave boys a glorious reception upon reaching this city. Our Army Repulsed. We have sad and disheartening news from Virginia, full accounts of which will be found in to-day's In telligencer. The Grand Army of the Potomac, 150,000 strong, from which so much was expected, has been badly worsted, and obliged to re-cross the Rappahannock, after four or five days hard fighting with im mense loss. In these terrible bat tles thousands of noble ]ives were sacrificed,and all to little purpose, and this, too, being the fifth (?) attempt to march upon Richmond. This unlooked for and unexpected result, by many, will sadden thou sands of hearts. Again, says the Patriot d. Union, the dead have fallen in vain—again we look upon the wounded and suffering, the brave men who have been mutilated in battle, without the consolation of success to assuage our woe. But let us try to bear it, as we have borne other similar reverses, with manly fortitude. If the war should con tinue, under the guidance and for the avowed purpose of those who administer the government, we may consider ourselves fortunate indeed if other and far greater evils do not befall us. But this is hardly a fit time to indulge in reflections upon a result at once so unfortunate and so distressing. With, the relatives and friends of the gallant men who perished on the bloody field we sin cerely sympathize, and what we can do, that will we cheerfully do to re lieve the wants and sufferings of the wounded warriors who will soon fill our hospitals. Those who have leisure and can command means should at once turn their attention in that direction. Have We a Govement ? Some of our citize*, says the Philadelphia Mercury, are so exces sively "loyal" that they would in- stitute a government of the mob, in the place of a government of law. We had a demonstration of this feeling on Friday evening, when a crowd of noisy and inebriated pa triots threatened to assail the office of our cotemporary, The Age. We have only to say, with regard to this, and all like manifestations, that if the people of the North have not security in their persons, property, and business, against the violence of the rabble, there is no longer any strong inducement to fight for the defence of a government which is either not able or not disposed to protect those of whoin it claims al legiance and support. Air- The Examiner has a vile and infamous attack upon our German fellow-citizens, because they thought proper to vote the Citizens ticket for School Directors last Tuesday.— This is not the first attack, however, of a similar kind from the same quarter, and will fall harmless at the feet of those against whom the blow is aimed. " Cease viper, you gnaw at a file." The Conscription. A Proclamation has been issued by President LINCOLN, under the General Conscription Act, which was passed at the last session of Congress, subjecting to the draft all aliens between the ages of twenty and forty-five years who have de clared their intention to become citizens of the United States. All persons of this description who de cline to obey the provisions of the Conscription. Act are ordered to leave the country within sixty-five days from the date of the Proclamation. GENERAL ,SCOTT ON THE TAX The New York Post (" loyal") says that Gen. Scott protests against paying his income tax. He is the first case of formal resistance to the tax law. Gen. Scott's salary and al lowances, received from the Government, amount to $13,800 per annum. The old hero ungrateful. The City School Election. By reference to the returns pub lished in another column, it will be seen that the regular ticket settled at a meeting of citizens, irrespec tive of party, on the Saturday evening previous, (as all the school tickets have heretofore been,) was elected on Tuesday by a handsome majority. It was not publicly known until an hour or two previous to the opening of the polls that any opposition was seriously in tended, and therefore, although the vote was unprecedented, it was not as large by several hundreds as it would have been had tile intention of running a second ticket been known in time. Heretofore, as we intimated above, it has almost inva riably been the custom to have but one ticket in the field—the one agreed upon at the meeting of citizens—but this did not suit the views of the Dis—Union Leaguers. They were determined to elect a full ticket of their own stripe, and for the first time, in the history of the Schools of this city, they introduced partisan politics into the election for Direc tors. By means of their secret, oath bound organization they brought their entire vote to the polls, and were confident throughout the day of tie ing able to beat the " Copperhead - a," as they were pleased to stigmatize the Democrats and other conserva tive citizens who acted with them. Of course, through their organiza tion they had a great advantage over the Democrats—the latter having no organization, nor any arrangements made to bring out a full vote of the party. But, notwithstanding these disadvantages, they rallied in suffi cient force to beat the Abolitionists and elect an unexceptionable ticket of Union-loving . citizens—Democrats and Conservative Republicans—and thus administered a scathing rebuke to the Di—Union Leaguers who sought through their clandestine operations to abolitionize the School Board of our City, and make it the plaything of their secret Know-Noth ing organization. _ . _ The people have long desired some change in the School Board. They did not ask that it should be made on political grounds, although it so happens that, prior to the recent election,' through adroitness and trickery on the part of the Abolition managers, there were but four Dem ocrats left in the Board of thirty-six ; but they desired a change for several other valid reasons not necessary to mention at this time. And to show that the Democrats are averse to in troducing politics into the Board, we can point withpleasure to their votes as Directors on Thursday evening, at the organization, for Secretary, Treasurer and Janitor. For several of the defeated candi dates we have the highest respect, and, under other circumstances, should have cheerfully voted to con tinue them in the Board ; but they were found in bad company, and had to share the fate of their less worthy colleagues. Arrest of Mr. Vallandigham. Hon. CLEMENT L. VALLANDIGHAM, the fearless and eloquent statesman of Ohio, was arrested at his residence in Dayton, about 2 o'clock in the morning of the sth inst., by a de tachment of soldiers from Cincinnati who went up in a special train for that purpose. The soldiers were obliged to batter down two or three doors before they could reach his room. Several of the fire bells were rung, but before his friends could gather in sufficient force to attempt a rescue, the train was on its way to Cincinnati with the distinguished prisoner. There was intense excitement in Dayton throughout the day when the arrest became generally ✓ known, and at dark a crowd of five or six hundred men proceeded to the Jour nal office and completely gutted the building, after which they set fire to it and burned it to the ground.— The fire communicated to the adjoin ing buildings, and all the property from the south end of the Phillips' House to the middle of the square was destroyed. All the telegraph lines in the city were cut down, and the bridge on the Xenia railroad was destroyed. At 10 o'clock the same night troop's arrived from Cincinnati and Columbus, who succeeded in quelling the riot, and 1* 12 o'clock all was still. For further particular's of the ar rest and consequent excitement see another column. An Army of Marshals. The Grand Army of Provost Mar shals to be organized under the Con scription act will soon be in the field, and a formidable host it will be to fatten upon the treasury of the people. Each day adds a new batch to the interminable list of appoint ments. First, there is a Provost Marshal General. Then there is a Provost Marshal for each Congres sional district. In addition, each of the latter may appoint two or more Deputies at salaries of $lOO per month each, four special officers, or sub-deputies at $4O to $65 per month, enrolling officers at $3 per day and special guards for deserters at $1 per day, and their actual expenses ! These are the good times promised by the Republicans prior to the last Presidential election. How do the tax-payers relish the entertainment ? vs_ It is stated that a large number of the soldiers sent to Connecticut to save the Re publicans from defeat, did not return to their regiments. After voting the Republican ticket, they put for Canada! It has been ascertained that full 3500 soldiers were sent home to vote for the Abolitionists, every one pledged to do so. In addition to these, more than 1000 were sent to this State, and many thousands to other States. In view of this, it is no wonder that Gem Foster was sur rounded, our camp at Suffolk invested, and our forces placed everywhere on the defensive. When Lincoln marched the troops upon Con necticut and New Hampshire, he gave the signal for the Confederates to march theirs upon our weakened forces. Thus at every turn has the country been saorificed for poll tics.—.Neto Hampshire Patriot. A KENTUCKY CROP.—William McLean, Esq., of Henderson county, one of the most extensive and successful planters in Kentucky, sold his crop of tobacco, embracing three hun dred and eighty thousand pounds, together with his crop of corn, for the sum of $70,000. The tobacco alone brought $63,000. This, we presume, is the most valuable yield ever produced on a single plantation in Ken— tucky. At its Favorite ' r ation. The following insulting and lying paragraph, in reference to the elec tion of School Directors, we clip from the_Express of Friday - evening : Run:amp : It will be seen by our report of the proceedings of the School Board last even ing„ that Rev. A. H. Kremer, who was placed upon the Copperhead ticket in place of Judge Long, who declined, has resigned, for reasons frankly stated in- his communication to the Board. The fact is, Mr. Kremer was the vic tim of that notorious and unprincipled partisan schemer, Dr. Henry Carpenter, and a few more rank Copperheads little better than him self, who managed that very contemptible scheme to create a little political capital for their faction, at the risk of imperiling the com mon school interests of our city. For appear ances sake, they put a few respectable and strong names upon their ticket, but four of them, Judge Long, Dr. O'Brian and Rev. Messrs. Powell and Kremer, declined the equivocal honor. " The galled jade winces—its ' withers are unstrung "—hence the foul and libelous attack of the League organ on the highly respectable gen tlemen - composing the Citizens Ticket for School Directors, and who were so triumphantly elected on Tuesday last. Let us look at the facts in the case : Rev. Mr. KREMER resigned, after he found that the - Union Leaguers were attempting to intro duce politics into the Board, and for no other reason. Judge LONG de clined the nomination, for the sole reason that he did not think it was proper for the Judge of a Court, who might be called upon to sit in judgment upon the action of the Board, to be a member of it—and for no other reason. Dr. O'BRIAN declined, because he was ineligible to a seat in the Board, and for no other reason. And Rev. Mr. Pow- ELL declined, because he did not wish to be a candidate before the people for that or any other situa tion, and would have so informed the meeting of citizens had he been consulted. These are the sole rea sons why the four gentlemen alluded to by the Express declined the in tended honor, and not because either of them have the least particle of sympathy with the Union Leaguers, or their abortive attempt to rfiake the Board a political organization. But, says the Express, the fleeting of citizens " put a few respectable and strong names upon their ticket, but four of them declined the equivo cal honor." And then gives the names of the four gentlemen above mentioned. The inference of course would be, with those who are not personally acquainted with the others on the ticket and elected, (Messrs. STEINMAN, LEVERGOOD, CARPENTER, BRINTON, REYNOLDS, GERHART, STEW ART, RENGIER, RATHVON, FRANKE and Kirta,) that they are not respec table, and this is the idea attempted to be conveyed by the very respecta ble editor of the Express. Now we will venture the assertion that, in point of respectability and intelligence these gentlemen, one and all, will compare favorably with their Union League opponents, or with any other eleven gentlemen to be found in the limits of the City—not excepting the editor of the League organ him self. One thing is certain, neither of them has ever been convicted of an infamous crime, and atoned for it in prison, and that is more than can be said for their traducer. Yousa BY PROEY.—The law recently passed by the lowa Legislature to enable soldiers of that State, absent in the service of the United States, to vote by proxy has been pronounced unconstitutional by Judge ISBELL, of the Sib (Iowa) Judicial District. The brief and clear opinion delivered by the Judge, in which no room is left to doubt the correctness of the decision, concludes as follows: " Believing the clause (of the Constitution) requires a voter to claim his vote in the county of his residence, we must hold such as were oast outside illegal, and therefore reject them. We come to the conclusion reluctantly, for the reasons that we hold it eminently just that those noble men who have been drawn away to peril their lives to maintain law, should not be deprived of the high and distinctive right of citizenship except for cogent reason, and because it always becomes the modesty of an inferior judicial tribunal to bow to the wisdom of the Legislature, leaving to the courts of the last resort the task of deciding their acts unconstitutional, unless they are palpably so. To the soldier we have no apol ogy, believing that no class of men are more desirous than they that the Constitution should be faithfully maintained." THIS UNION, OR ANOTHER GOVERN- The N. Y. Journal of Commerce truly re marks that " the conservative party through out the country is pledged firmly to the Union cause. The radical party is every where en gaged in sowing the seeds of disunion by teach ing the people that the Union as it was is not to be desired, and that we are fighting for some new government, which is to be hereafter con structed. The only rule of faith ought to be the Constitution, the sole object of the war ought to be the old Union. That is worth fighting for. But as for a new, vague, undefined gov ernment to suit radicals, that is not worth fighting for. Let us keep the war to its true purpose." MARYLAND OYSTER TRADE.-d correspon dent of the Cambridge (Md.) Herald writes from Bishop's Head, in that county : " The citizens down here follow oysthring principally for a living. From the com mencement of the fall 1862 up to the present time there have been fifty down-eastern loaded in this neighborhood (Fishing Bay,) averaging $1,200 each, and in the Sound, 500 vessels, at a very small estimate. $5OO each. The whole amounting to $310,000. These vessels carried their oysters North. I will say nothing about a goodly number of vessels that have taken their freight to Baltimore.— There was one schooner last week that paid out gold and silver for her load." VALLANDIGH The recent arrest and imprisonment of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham, in its manner and time, is another of those many and gross violations of the Constitution and laws which have been perpetrated by this Administration. Mr. Val. landigham, when arraigned before a " drum head Court," in Cincinnati, very properly refused to plead. and by this Manly act, be not merely maintained his own self-respect and asserted his civil rights, but be made himself the champion of the laws of the country and of the liberties of every citizen whom those laws protect. We have not heard what the sentence of the military tribunal is. But we do know, that whatever it may be, it will be the sentence of a Court without lawful juris diction in the case, and therefore such a sen tence as cannot be executed in Ohio, or in this country, without arousing the indignant protest of the whole nation.—Phila. Sunday Mercury. Suoccuto A DESERTER.-A. case was tried last week, before Judge Woodward, in Berke county, of much interest. A man who had deserted from the Army, was arrested in Reading, but attempted to make his escape. In doing so, he was shot by the Provost guard and killed. The soldier was bound over to answer the charge of murder. Judge. Wood ward decided that if he was in danger of escaping, the guard had a right to fire upon him as a common felon. The guard was ac quitted by the Jury. Avis Extra Inquirer of Yesterday Morning LETTER FROM THE 122 d. A CODRECT LIST OF THE HILLEVI, WOUNDED AND MISSING. HEADQUARTERS 122 D REGT. P.

M,• • Yours, THE emu, IsCHUDZ , DIVISION OP THE ARMY. Thsi army correspondent of the New York Times gives a very sorry account of this divis ion under command of this Major-General, in which he speaks very illy of his soldiers, " the Germans," " the Dutchmen." etc. The difficulty, we will venture to say, was not with the men—with the soldiers—but with the commander of the division. Schurz never was a soldier—never knew how to handle a masket, or to command even a company. President Lincoln made a Foreign Minister of him at first ( pity he did not stay,) and then made a Major General of him, only be cause be was a political spouter—a mere stump orator for him, among the Germans of the West. Nearly all the Germans of intelli gence remonstrated against his appointment, and denounced it as wrong and unfit. In justice to these very Germans now corn_ plained of, it is a duty to add, these very soldiers fought exceedingly well at Cedar Mountain, under Fremont, and afterwards with Sigel, when under Pope, where Sigel handled them. MR. EIDARS , LETTER. All doubts about the letter written by our Minister in London, to Admiral Dupont, in behalf of Messrs. Howell & Zirman, are now at an end. The last steamer brought us the text of it. Here it is : " LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, " LONDON, April 9th. " Amid the multitude of fraudulent and dishonest enterprises from this kingdom to furnish supplies to the rebels in the United States, through the pretence of a destination fo some port in Mexico, it gives me pleasure to distinguish one which has a different and a creditable purpose. Messrs. Rowel & Zirman have furnished me with evidence which is perfectly satisfactory to me, that they are really bound to Matamoras with a cargo in tended for the Mexicans. I therefore very cheerfully give them this certificate at their request. It is not the disposition of the Go vernment of the United States to interfere in any way with an honest neutral trade, and it is deeply to be regretted that the frauds which have been so extsnsively practiced in this country, have contributed so much to threw it under suspicion CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS Admiral Dupont, &c." Whatever we may have thought of the di plomatic talents of Mr. Adams, no one can now think him fit for his post. What busi ness had he to commit himself on paper to a partisanship in favor of Mexico against France? And why, after he wrote such a letter, was he such' a fool as not to seal it so that no use could be made of it till it reached the hands of Admiral Dupont or one of his officers ? Does ho not know that our relations with France have already attained such a delicate position that our ministers abroad 'must have a special care not to increase the irritation, and to precipitate a catastrophe ? It is the business of diplomats to preserve peace, and not to involve nations in war. If we want a war with France, we have no need of Mr. Adams to provoke it. We now under stand what Mr. Webster meant when he de clared in open Senate, that he had never known the Mr. Adams who now represents us at the Court of St. James:-" I have known Mr. John Adams," said Mr. Webster, " and I have known Mr. John Quincy Adams, and —I know no other Adams."—Age. LATE NEWS The steamer Majestic has been burned in the Mississippi river below Hickman. The fire originated accidentally. After shelling the batterid's at Grand Gulf for eight hours, our fleet dropped down the river, having had twenty-eight men killed and a few wounded. A messenger has arrived at Salt Lake City with news of the murder of twenty four white men by the swages. A large party have started in pursuit of 'the Indians. Advices received from General Banks' ex pedition say that he left three colored regi ments to defend Baton Rouge. He marched three hundred miles, beat the enemy in three' battles, dispersed the rebel army, and destroy ed the rebel navy in that part of the country, capturing important foundries and destroyed the saltworks. In short, the rebels there have been utterly demoralized. The rebels report part of Grant's army in motion. The rebels themselves have advan ced to McCowansville, northwest of Shelby ville. General Ellet's marine brigade had a fight with several hundred guerrillas on the Ten nessee river and Duck creek. The rebels were routed after a hard fight. A later account of the running of the Vicks- burg batteries s 'y that only one transport was sunk, and that the others got safely by. No lives were lost. TROUBLE WITH ENULAND Advices from England mention a new cause of excitement and irritation which had arisen to complicate our relations with England. Mr. Adams, our Minister, gave a license to a vessel to carry a cargo of munitions of war to Matamoras for the use of the Mexicans against the French. It was in the form of a letter to Admiral Dupont, guaranteeing the character of the cargo and its destination, so that the vessel would not be interfered with by our cruisers. The letter was made public, and created much excitement and ill-feeling. A deputation of merchants engaged in the Mex. ican trade called Earl Rusell's attention to the subject, who promised to look into it ; and the London Times furiously assailed the action of Mr. Adams as an attempt to " override the laws of England," &c. The London News says " the irritation between England and the United States is increasing." The Paris Moniteur of the 18th of April published a very significant paragraph on the subject of the relation existing between the Cabinets in Washington and London. The Moniteur observes : " The growing hostility of the United .States towards England is exciting uneasiness in London. The last despatches from the Washington government have a character of increasing irritation." ABOLITION NEGRO TRADING IN The following we find in the St. Louis New endorsing the statements therein : The Lexington Union states that, during the last three weeks, not lees than three hundred slaves have escaped from Lafayette county. These slaves all go to Kansas. It would naturally be supposed that there they find the freedom they seek ; but it seems this is not so. The very "Red Legs" and other organizations in that State engaged in entic ing them from Missouri, are said to be sending them down into the Indian country and sell. ing them to the Cherokees and Choctaws. This fact is notorious in Kansas. The Lexington Union states it, on the au— thority of Major C., a respectable officer, who had it from numerous parties in Kansas.— The Choctaws give $3OO to $4OO each for the negro men, and proportionate prices for wo— men and children. The persons engaged in this business are making large sums out of it. It is an infamous practice, and deserves the attention of the government authorities in this Department. A COLORED SURGEON We learn from the Boston Commonwealth that Dr. AUGUSTA, an " American of African descent," was examined by the Medical Board at Washington recently, and passed a creditable examination. He is now a Surgeon in the Army with the rank of Major, and has been assigned to service with lllhnan's Bri: gado.

The dispatch which we received yesterday by telegraph, purporting to be taken from the Sunday Dispatch newspaper, and published elsewhere, is pronounced entirely unfounded by a gentleman whose public position enables him to know almost everything connected with the movements of our armies, and en titles him to the fullest credit. We do not know why it is that false information is per mitted to be flashed over the wires, while the truth is studiously withheld. We regret ex ceedingly that we were imposed upon, and etill more that, through the bulletin whioh we issued, any portion of the publio should have been deceived and excited by false intelligence. The gentleman to whom we have referred in formed us that Hooker had not recrossed the Potomac up to Sunday morning, and conse quently the dispatch to that effect is a hoax played off on the public through the agency of the telegraph. The report that Gen. Keyes has taken Richmond is also false.—Patriot & Union. REPORTS OP REBEL DESERTERS, NEW YORE., May 6. The Tribune has a special despatch from Murfreesboro, dated the sth, which says: " Deserters report that the rebel communi— cations between Vicksburg, Richmond, Charleston, and Tullahoma have been cut.— Neither newspapers nor despatches have been received in General Bragg's army from these places for several days. They also say that General Bragg was mortally wounded by Gen. eral Breokinridge, but this statement i s not credited." El= FALSE DESPATCHES. PHILADELPHIA CORRESPONDENCE. Pananautaa. May 7th, 1888: Idtatita. Rtdrolni: The city is full of excitement and anxiety over the news, or rather want of news, from the Rappahanock. The condemnation of the room. of the Govetnment in withholding Intelligence which .it most certainly posies', is general, even among those who are known to far or the Administration in every other particu lar. Down to last evening no intelligence had been re , solved of any movement or battle or whatever else may have oceurred, -- since Sunday, and the whole army might have been overwhelmed and captured. or Richmond con quered and the patient public nue the c leer. Had not , yeatewlsy been a tremendously stormy day, shutting up ' people in their hoinea who would otherwise have been abroad,. the excitement would have been Intense. There are those Who believe that Elcoker is all right, and there are thou who believe again, after Charleston, and the former Tredericksburg, and some other great victories we might name, that . nobody or nothing is right until to doubt would be to question even Uncle Abe'a honeety I !cloudily night witnessed a singniar gathering at the Academy of Music: a house crowded with the "wealth and intelligence" of the metropolis to hear a' female political orator," u the morning Ledger rightly names her, lecture on the very lady like subject, "War to the Knife" Wasn't that's pretty dish to serve op to R refined assemblage?— Bill Melly, it is said, Introduced the female warbler to the audience, (birds of a feather, you know,) and then she pitched in promiscuously. abusing everybody in general but the deml gels of the black school. Miss Dickenson is ea ultra on the war question we hope she will be served with a communion at once. She ought to be compelled to fight. We forgot to say that the lady's education in ora tory was begun. or finished. we don't know exactly which, In the colored churches down town. . . . Quite a number of prize vessels have been arriving at one wharves again within a few days. Yesterday the British brig 'Minnie, which was captured off Charleston In attempting to run the blockade, arrived off the Navy Yard, loadid With a valuable cargo of coffee, pepper and apical. Also arrived the prize eel:ironer Tampico, loaded wilh two hundred bales of cotton. Considering the character and extent of the cargo, the schooner is a more valuable prize than the brig. The squally look of the news from England does not have a very Inspiriting effect on the people this morning. Such sentences' as "Ilr. Roebuck declares himself for war," "np,tart insolence must not go longer unpunished," "the American Government will have to be taught a lesson," and the like. are not calculated to a man's cheerfulnees when he le already feeling gloomy fsrebodlnge concerning events in another quarter. If Hooker should actually be defeated, as is rumored at this writing, we don't know where the spirits of the people would go to. At all events there Is a very general depresslon prevailing this morning, and it deepens erery boar. Under the influence of it gold 1 slavered immediately upon the opening . of the first board this morning to 156. We torn - with alacrity to a more cheerful subject. Books are better themes than bullets 1 any day. . there Is a very interesting sketch of the late 111 r. Pell gru, of Charleston, B. 0., copied Int , nLittell'aLiving Age," this week, from the Cho linitou Courier. It gives a teithful picture of this noble man's life, and shows how oven Nacos alonlats can reverence a true man. In the same number of Littell there are also articles on the Alabama, the Con federate Loan, eto., from Fuglish stauil.points; a capital paper on the Dangers and Dillicultics of the Cotton trade, by Thos. Batley, hL P , besides an agreeable variety of po. ems, stories, etc. Tho standard of dill splendid periodical well maintained. The Age grows Oper every yciir it lives. The mourning brought to many bounce by the havoc of war lout stimulated the publishing wed readinr of a num. her of delightful volumes whore aim le to cenithrt the sor rowing and direct their minds into the contemplation of a future state. An Interesting volume of this class le the "Mysteries of Life. Death and Futurity," by Horace Welby, published in an elegant 12 mo. by Mr..lames G. Gregory, New York ; Lippincott. Philadelphia. The Phenomena of Life and Death, the Nature of the Soul, Spiritual Lift, Stun after Death, the Future State, etc, are the topics of which the volume treats, but the work meet be seen and read to form a just opinion of its character. Curious facts, per sonal traits of character, anecdotes of good and great men, with opinions and reflections of the learned and distin guished of all ages are brought together in Its pages, the author infusing into his theme a singular and fascinating interest. We endorse the opinton that this volume will rank with Burton's Anatomy of Inlrlaneholy, Cu.lisitles, and Moats gee's Essays. Another delightful work of this class is "Meditations on Death and Eternity," published to a beautiful 12 sun. by Messrs. Ticknor & Fields. This is a translation frnm the. ' German of Zschokke, the original of the work, AThrzdan der Audaeld. (Hours of Meditation,) having beet a far/mite book with the late Prince Albert, these Meditations be came endeared to the Queen, who directed a translation to be made, and a small number of copies circulated, with a notice that the Pleditatious had been "selected for transla tion by one to whom, in deep and overwhelming serener, they had proved a source of comfort and edifitstien.” We wish we had the apace to do justice to these -meditations." They are adapted to every class of the efllicted and sorrow ; lug, appealing to the most universal Buhl turd needs with ' out trenching upon the private religious creed of any true christian. They will comfort the sorrows and confirm the ' hopes of all who heartily believe In the gospel. Still another volume breathing a subdued and tender Christian spirit le a beautifully printed 16 loos. entitled "Two Friends," by the author of The Patience of Hope and a Present Heaven, who is announced ae Plies Dora Green ! well. The two former volumes have been read by all lovers of a pure and elevated religious literature, and the present volume must command equal attention. The work pre ' sante a dialogue between two deep end earnest thinkera on religion, who avoid the usual topics of creed, etc , upon which so many split, and instead give us a rare lilted°, tual feast, full of sublime thoughts and aspirations. The work teems with beauties, evidencing that the lair author porwesses a highly gifted as well ae cultivated Intell.ct.— No one can fail to be charmed with the grace and rl.quence of her style. Mr. T. O. H. P Burnham, Boston, issues a new nod pow ; erful novel, "A Tangled Skein," by Albany Fenblauque, Jr., whom we take to be a eon of the venerable and witty editor of the London t•Examiner." Certainly although a new editor, comparatively, he hoe inherited genius of an. I.IIICOMMOI2 order. He has shown very great skill in the construction of this exciting story, which, as may be judged by Its title, contains fur its pint a complicated web indeed, exceeding any of Mrs. Henry Wood's or. Mil. Brad don's It is eo well wratten Clint having once taken up I the bolt it will be foacd impoerible to lay it down until the end. Of course there Is a murder in It. We should be doing injustice to Mr. Burnham net to say that fur a half dollar pamphlet it le the moot elegantly printed or have ever seen, rivalling in paper and type any 10 dollar annual. A short but deeply intereeting 'dory, culminatleg In 1100 murders, is Mrs. Henry Wood's last, "A Foggy Night at Offord." publimbed by Messrs. Peterson & Brothers, this city.

CINCINNATI, May 6. There was much excitement at Dayton all yesterday over the arrest of Vallandigham, and at dark a crowd of five or six hundred men proceeded to the Journal office and sacked the building. They then set fire to it, and burned it to the ground. The fire communicated to the adjoining buildings, and all the property from the south end of Phillips' house to the middle of the square was destroyed. All the telegraph lines in the city have been cut down and a bridge on •the Xenia Railroad is reported des troyed. At 10 o'clock, last night, troops arrived from Cincinnati and Columbus and succeeded in putting down the rioters. At 117 o'clock, all was quiet. Telegraphic communication being interrup ted, we have no advices as to the condition of affairs this morning. CINCINNATI, May 6. Mr. Vallandigham was brought before the court martial to-day for trial. He refused to plead to the charges which were read to him, and the court proceeded with the evidence, tho publication of which is not allowed. The charges are based on hie Mount Vernon speech. Mr. Vallandigham is at the Burnet House to-night, under a strong guard. Dayton and Montgomery county have been placed under martial law. The total loss by the conflagration at Dayton was $30,000. The damage otherwise, by the riot, was small. ..3.30 a. m ...8.40 " ...9.00 " ...725 " ...2.25 p. m _5 48 ..6.03 " CINCINNATI, May 6. Dayton has been comparatively quiet to day. About thirty ringleaders of last night's riot were arrested without resistance and placed in jail. The Empire newspaper has been suppressed, and its editor arrested and brought here. The soldiers removed a swivel from the Empire office, and also took possession of two wagon loads of muskets, stored in the Light Guard's armory. Every precaution has been taken to prevent a renewal of the outbreak. The liquor shops have been closed. Tho damage to the telegraph line has been repaired;and will com municate with the East immediately. THE REBEL PRISONERS AT WASH- Since Saturday nearly 3,000 rebel prisoners have been brought to this city. Seven hun— dred and eighty arrived here at 2 o'clock to— day, and were like their predecessors marched to the Provost Marshal's office under a strong guard. Thence they were consigned to safe quarters. The number is too large for con— venient accommodation. Additional prisoners are to be sent up from the Rappahannock, making in all four thou sand and over certainly in our hands. They present a shabby appearance. The much larger part are dressed in grey, the remainder in brown, and generally with slouch hats.— Many of them have good substantial boots, while others are nearly barefoot. Not a few, instead of blankets, show that they have made an extensive levy on carpets. The prisoners are nearly all young men. Their appearance in the streets excited much curiosity, but no rude or offensive remarks were made by the spectators. Ambulances were busy both last night and to day conveying the wounded from the Army of the Potomac to the several hospitals. THE PENNSYLVANIA WOUNDED HARRISBURG, May 6 Governor Curtin will start for Washington to see that every arrangement is made for the proper reception and care of our wounded soldiers. Surgeon-General King will join him to-morrow, when both will proceed to the Rappahannock. Large quantities of supplies, contributed by citizens of various parts of the State., have been forwarded in that direction lately, and will be judiciously distributed. The friends and relatives of wounded Pennsylvania sol— diers oan rest assured that the Governor will leave nothing that humanity can suggest or money accomplish undone to relieve them.
