ham then said be was not dressed. The Captain
told him he would have time to dress himself,
when be again called for the police; an attempt
was made to force the front door. The door re
sisted the efforts of the soldiers, and two or
three shots were fired without effect. A side
door was then forced, and the squad, finding all
the doors in the house fastened, broke open
four of them before they reached the apartment
occupied by Mr. Y., who was soon taken to the
train, which was in waiting. Some of Mr. Val
landigham's friends hearing what was going
on , rang the fire-bells with the intention of gath
ering a crowd to attempt a rescue. But the at
tempt was unsuccessful, and Mr. Vallandigham
was conveyed to Cincinnati, and lodged in the
prison on Columbia street, between Sycamore

Publicly expressing, in violation of General
Order No. 38, from Headquarters, Department
of the Ohio, his sympathies for those in arms
against the government of the United States,
declaring disloyal sentiments and opinions, with
the object and purpose of weakening the power
of the government in its efforts to suppress an
unlawful rebellion.
I=
In this, that the said Clement L. Vallandigham,
a citizen of the State of Ohio, on or about the
Ist day of May, 1863, at Mount Vernon, Knox
county, Ohio, did publicly address a large meet
ing of citizens, and did utter sentiments, in
cords or in effect, as follows, declaring the pres
ent war " a wicked, cruel and unnecessary war ;"
"a war not being waged for the preservation of
the Union ;" "a war for the purpose of crush—
ing out liberty and erecting a despotism ;" "a
war for the freedom of the blacks and the en
stavement of the whites:" stating, " that, if the
administration had so wished, the war could
have been honorably terminated months ago ;"
that " peace might have been honorably obtain—
ed by listening to the proposed intermediation
of France ;" that "propositions by which the
Southern States could be won back and the South
be guarantied their rights under the Constitution,
bad been rejected the day before the late battle
at Fredericksburg, by Lincoln and his minions,"
meaning thereby the President of the United
States and those under him in authority. Charg
ing "that the government of the United States
were about to appoint military marshals in every
district to restrain the people of their liberties,
to deprive them of their rights and privileges."
Characterizing General Order No. 38, from Head
quarters Department of the Ohio, as "a base
usurpation of arbitrary authority," inviting his
hearers to resist the same, by saying, "the soon
er the people inform the minions of usurped
power that they will not submit to such restric—
.ions upon their liberties, the better ;" declaring
" that he was at all times, and upon all occa—
sions, resolved to do what he could to defeat the
attempts now being made to build up a monarchy
upon the ruins of our free government ;" assert
ing "that he firmly believed, as he said Rix
months ago, that the men in power are attempt
ing to establish a despotism in this country,
more cruel and more oppressive than ever ex
isted before."
Au of which opinions and sentiments he Weil
knew did aid, comfort anti encourage those in
arms against the government, and could but in
duce in his hearers a distrust of their own gov
ernment and sympathy for those in arms against
it, and a disposition to resist the laws of thy loud.

MR. EALLEEDIORAM'S PROTEST
Arrested without due process of law, without
warrant from any judicial officer, and now in
military custody, I have been eerved with a
charge and specifications as from a court-mar
tial or military commission. lam not either in
the land or naval service of the United States,
and, therefore, am not tryable for any cause by
any ouch court, but am subject, by the express
terms of the Constitution, to arrest only by due
process of law, or warrant issued by some officer
of a court of competent jurisdiction for trial of
citizens. lam subject to indictment and trial on
presentment of a grand jury, and am entitled to
a speedy trial, to be confronted with witnesses,
and to compulsory proem for witnesses in my
behalf, and am entitled to counsel. All these I
demand as my right, as a citizen of the United
States, under the Constitution of the United
States. But the alleged offence itself is not
known to the Constitution, nor to any law there
of. It is words spoken to the people of Ohio in
an open public political meeting, lawfully and
peacefully assembled, under the Constitution,
and upon full notice.
It is the words of a citizen, of the public pol
icy of the public servants of the people, by
which policy it was alleged that the welfare of
the country was not promoted- It was an ap
peal to the people to change that policy, not by
force, but by the elections and the ballot box.
It is not pretended that I counseled disobedience
to the Constitution, or resistance to law or law
ful authority. I have never done this. I have
nothing further to submit.
May 7, 1883. C. L. VALLANDIGUA.M.
The Court Martial in the Vallandigham ease
submitted their decision to Major General Burn
side last Palsy- It will net be made public till
published in General Orders. The decision is
only surmised, but is supposed to be against the
accused.
A habeas corpus on Mr. Vallandigham's behalf,
has been applied for before Judge Swayne, of
the Supreme Court of the United States. The
question is, will the Court interpose to protect
the constitutional liberty of the citizen, or, de
clining to interpose, abandon that liberty to the
tender mercies of arbitrary military power?
The result of the application is not yet known.

WASHIN(MIN, Iltay 13
A report was current yesterday that the enemy
had left their formidable position along the
heights of Fredericksburg, but a close observa—
tion last evening disclose , / the fact that their
Ramberg there had not been diminished. They
were still at that. point in force last. evening,
Notwithstanding all the reports that the army
of Gen. Hooker has again crossed the Rappa—
hannock and resumed the offensive, nu forward
movement had taken place up to 'Monday noon.
At the time of our recrossing the river at United
Slates lord, it is believed that only two divisions
of the enemy's forces remained onrour front,
near Chanoellorsville, as a rear guard. The
divisions mentioned were Commanding General
Anderson's and McLaw's.
Gen. Hooker's Congratulatory Order.
HEADQUARTERS MIXT OF THE POTOSIAO, May
6, 1863.—The following order has been issued:
CtENERAL ORDERS, NO 49.
The Major-Cleneral Comm•nding tenders to
this army his congratulations on its achievements
of the last seven days. If it has not accomplish.
ed all that was expected, the reasons are known
to the army. It is sufficient to say that they
were of • character not to be foreseen or pre—
vented by human sagacity or resources.
In withdrawing from the south bank of the
Rappahannock, before delivering a general bat—
tle to our adversaries, the army has given renew
ed evidence of its confidence in itself and its
fidelity to the principles it represents. In fight
ing at a disadvantage, we would have been re
creant to our trust, to ourselves, our cause and
our country. Profoundly loyal and conscious of
its strength, the Army of the Potomac will give
or decline battle whenever its interest or honor
may demand. It will also be the guardian of
its own history and its own arm. By our celer
ity and secresy of movement our advance and
passage of the rivers was undisputed, and on our
withdrawal, not a Rebel ventured to follow. The
events of the last week may swell with pride the
hearts of every officer and soldier of this army.
We have added new lustre to its former renown.
We have made long marches, crossed rivers,
surprised the enemy in his intrenchnients, and
whenever we have fought have inflicted heavier
blows that we have received. We have taken
from the enemy five thousand prisoners, fifteen
colors, captured and brought off seven pieces of
artillery, placed hors de combat eighteen thousand
of his chosen troops, destroyed his depots filled
with vast amounts of Stores, deranged his com—
munications, captured prisoners within the forti
fications of his capital, and filled his country
with fear and consternation_ We have no other
regret than that caused by the loss of our brave
companions, and in this we are consoled by the
conviction that they have fallen in the holiest
cause ever submitted to the arbitrament of bat
tle. By command of
Maj.-Geri. Homan.

Assistant Adjutant- General.
Our Losses in the Late Battles.
[Prom the Correepondence of the N. Y. Times.]
LIAM/QUARTERS ARMY OF THS roTomao,
Friday, May 8, 1863. j
The total loss of our army in the series of en
gagements which it has encountered during the
last ten days, is animated by competent judges
at about seventeen thousand. Dr. Letterman,
Medical Director of the Army, estimates the
total number of wounded at ten thousand. Add
to this prisoners and wounded now in rebel
hands, some seven thousand more. The enemy'e
loss cannot have been less than our own. In
the battle of Monday evening, at Salem Heights,
it was much greater, as they rushed upon our
batteries with all the recklessness which charac
terized their charges on our batteries at Malvern
Hill. No better evidence of the severe punish
ment which they received is needed than the fact
of their not running us when recrossing the riv-
President Lincoln, Gen. Halleek and Secretary
Stanton, who have been here, returned to Waelt
ington last evening.
Col. Irwin, of the Forty-ninth Pennsylvania,
wounded at the laying of the pontoons, is to be
conveyed to Washington this morning, with a
large number of otbere. The wounded in the
hospitals at Potomac Creek bridge are to be tak
en to the Capital. Col. Spear, Sixty-first Penn
sylvania, killed in the same charge, was shot in
the same place and manner as Col. Ripley, the
first Colonel of the regiment, who lost his life at
the battle of Fair Oaks.
,J The taking up of the bridges over the Rappa
hannock cut off the retreat of sev,pral of our sol
diers who were employed on detached duty on
the other side. Lieut. Brown, of the Sixty first
Pennsylvania, who was detailed on picket, reach
ing the river and finding the bridge gone, swam
across with a party of men.
Every thing was progressing finely until the
rebels succeeded in flanking ns, Monday morning
above Fredericksburg. Had it not been for this
fatal mistake, pushing on and leaving the heights,
a glorious victory would have crowned our efforts.
As it is, we cannot be said to have met with a
defeat, but a repulse. We have captured a large
number. of cannon, taken more prisoners than
were taken from us, and have lost less in killed
and wounded than the enemy. No Generals
were killed in the Sixth corps. Gen. Brooks
was wounded, and Gen. Mill reported injured.
The army is not disheartened or demoralized,
but confident and hopeful, desirous again of cross
ing the river. In every fair and open fight of
this movement, they have whipped the enemy.
The cutting of its way through the rebels by the
Sixth corps, was an achievement calculated to
inspire the troops with confidence in themselves.
