At the rcoent Krcttt Union meeting in
Hamilton, Ohio, Colom-l Vandevi-r, an offi
cer who has distinguished himself upon
numerous bnttlo-fieltU in the Southwest,
mttilo a ' powerlul epecch. Among other
wholesome fticts he tid: I belonged, ftttd
now belong to the Democratic ptirty. I be
long to that Democratic party Andrew Jack
son belonged to; I always was a Jackson
tlemccrat, but will say to you that I never
was a Calhoun Democrat; I never was' in
favor of secession; I was always in favor of
the old Hug. I hail been in the Held doing,
in my humble way, what I could for the
purpose of putting down this rebellion I
had found in the regiment I commanded
men of all parlies Democrats, Hepublicims
and Whigs they were all for the Union
and none for party. Now what could I do
when I returned anil found my party in
sneli a disgraceful position? I can not go
with theni. I can not go with men who
have sympathy with the rebellion. I won't
vole for a man who I know has sympathized
with these men who have been shooting at
ntc and my comrades for the last three
years. And I will say to you this is the
sentiment of the army at least the Army
ot the West. I cannot speak for tho Army
of the 1'otomnc. lint. I do know pretty well
lite Army of the Cumberland, anil there are
very few votes there that the Chicago plat
form can expect lo get. 1 know that in the
35th Kcgiincnt nt the last election there was
not a single vote cist against the Union
tic ket. In the brigade 1 had the honor to
ciimmnnd thero wast very few, if any, cast
against the Union ticket, and thoso votes
that were cast against tho Union ticket
wer,e the votes of cowards, deserters anil
shirks. I have known the Demi cratic party
fiiiin my boyhood. I have been with it,
and I luivi! acted with it. I have voted for
the candidate, ami 1 have held ollieo under
t tint party. 1 have known it when it was
the proud old Democratic party, in favor
ol tlte Mexican war. I have known it when
it was, ns i!iey said, in favor of the next
war, and of nil wars, but I have known it
ut lust when it marches under the white
ling. Thf leaders of the Democratic party
luivi! refused to light for their country.
They arc no longer deserving the name of
Democrats. They are more worthy the
name they have adopted, or received, of
Copperheads. That is the name they should
carry; nut Democratic that is too good for
them. I have spoken to you with regard
t'i the feeling of lite army 011 this question.
I left the army before t lie nouiiation of ticn.
Mi l'lellan had been made, but I know there
wns no desire in the Army of the Southwest,
in the Army of the Tennessee, in the Army
of the Oiiin, in the Army of the Cumberland
there was no desire, I say, that then; should
be eny other candidate presented to the
American people than Al milium Lincoln.
They were sat istied with hitn. lie might
have made mistakes, but the soldiers be
lieve he is honest. The soldiers know he
has tried to do his duty. The soldiers
know that Abiuliani Lincoln's enemies arc
their enemies, and you can't persuade them
tu vote for anybody ele, you may talk as
you please. Vou may tell' them MeClcllan
i u Mildier. That is very gooil. Utit the
soldiers down in Sherman's army will tell
you he is satii-ticd with Lincoln, that there
should lie but one candidate, and that there
should be but one patty iu the North. You
will lind, too, not only among tite private
soldiers, but you will lind it the sentiments
of the lieutenants, and captains, nnd majors,
nnd colntn'ls, unit brigadier-generals, and
major-general. It makes no difference what
II man's antecedents may have Iieen. It
makes no difference to what party ho may
have belonged The soldiers w ill tell you 0116
and all, that they are for tho Union' Candi
date, aud for him only. They believe in
Abraham Lincoln They believe that aa Chief
Magistrate he has managed the affairs of
this country to the best of his ability
under the Constitution. The soldiers in
the lield tire true to the (lag. The soldiers
in the field uro true to the Union. They
wil! tight for the old flag They will fight
for the Union. Will yon help them with
good words of encouragement? Are you
not bound injustice to yourselves and your
country lo su.-taiu the soldiers lu the Held?
Vou are bound to do it bv your sympathy,
and you are bound to do it by your votes,
and I can assure you that if you lovo the
soldiers, you can testify it in no better way
than by voting for Abraham Lincoln' and
the Union ticket.

militia. A few years later, ho was a Mem
ber of Assembly ; next wc hear fiom him in
Congress ; then Governor of his closely
balanced State after a spirited canvass ; for
Tennessee was then prepnnderently a Whig
State, and her Whigs ol ways ran for Gov
ernor one of their ablest and cleverest de
baters. Johnson had, always been a "t ry
ardent and active Democrat, and had made
himself widely obnoxious to his political
adversaries. His birth and breeding were
matters of common notoriety, and the cul
tivated aristocracy of Nashville and the
surrounding region were not at all inclined
to be ruled by the cx-journcyman tailor of
Jonesborough. They could not help them
selves, however, nnd Johnson, after serving
his term as Governor, wns chosen to the
United States Senate, where he made good
his position against the ablest and proudest
iu tho land. I'robably no other Senator had
enjoyed so scunt opportunities for intellec
tual culture ; but the debates, in which he
freely mingled, give no sign of this. In the
absence of that education of tho schools,
which he would gladly have enjoyed and
improved, he had his full share of the rug
ged discipline ot poverty and privation, aud
was thoroughly trained iu the keen encoun
ters of an active, arduous public career.
Diubtless, he feels anil regrets the deficien
cies of his early culture ; but who will say
that he has not nobly supplied them ?
Mr. Johnson, as a leading Southern Dem
ocrat, und a supporter of Itreckinridge for
the Presidency, saw the Slaveholder's He
bellion take form and body under his im
mediate observation. lie knows it, 'egg
and bird' its impulses, ideas nnd aspira
tions. Nearly every other prominent Demo
crat of his State und section was drawn or
driven into its tolls; he never countenat:ced
it for a moment nor regarded it with the
least allowance. He knew it to be ns hos
tile to the class from w hich he sprung iu the
South as to the 'mudsills'' at the North,
and he stood by his order like any liritish
Peer. He exposed the hollowness of its
pretexts, the w ickedness of its aims, iu the
presence of its contrivers, before they had
imbrued their hands in , blood, lie warned
the simple against their machinations, und
warned tliein of their inevitable failure nud
ruin. Had other Southern Unionists been
as faithful and fearless us he, thu madness
of Secession would have been stayed at the
northern limit of the Cotton Kcgiou, and
our country would nut now be reeking with
human blood.
It is a common pro-Slavery cavil that
"Vou Abolitionist talk of what you do not
understand." This cannot be said of Liu
colu nud Johnson, who were burn in Slave
States, and have been familiar with Shivery
since they fitst opened their ejes. Mr. Lin
coln was never an Abolitionist till Slavery
declared war on the Union ; yet he suys he
never regarded Slavery iu itself otherwise
than as he now does. "It Slavery is not
wrong, then nothing is wrong," says he in
his letter to Hodges. Mr. Johnson was a
tacit supporter of Slavery until Slavery
struck ut the life of his country ; but he now
holds with Lincoln that Union und Peace
ure only possible through tho linul, com-,
pleto overthrow of their assailant.
Are these men fanatics ? If tiierc were an
easier or shorter way to Peace, would they
not choose it i What possible motivo can
they have for preferring the wrong way to

TicX"v!h Aijirrictin (Philadelphia) of the
loth has the follow ing statement from a
gentleman lately in the service of the War
Department. It corroborates many intima
tions already before the public with regard
to the Chickahominy campaign.
To the Mrinhm uf the ShHhim! I'uinii Chili
I I'hilmi, lihiii: Gknti.kmkn : I am in pos
session of your note, in which you ask me
; if I remember having made certain assertions
j at the rooms of the National Union Club in
; January last, on my return from the Kebel
lines, in regard to Gen. Geo. II. McClellan
. and Clement L. Yallandigham, and desiring
to know it I would reiterate said statement.
1 recollect perfectly well having made
certain statements in regard to the two per
sons named, nnd in presence of several mem
bers of the Club.
In response to your inquiry if I would re
peat saiil statement, 1 will answer you by
saying: First. That while the battle before
llichmoud, Virginia, in lStli, was still pro
gressing, and immediately alter Gen. MeClcl
lan bad fallen back from before that city,
in company with a friend, an officer in the
Kebel service, who was prevented from
joining his command in the tight in ques
tion, on account of a wound received at the
battle of Seven Pines, ami being provided
with a special permit from the War De
partment tit Kiehmond, 1 visited the fortili
ctitions around Kiehmond, and advanced to
a distance of about two miles ninth of that
city, where we met Col, Gayle, of the 12th
Alabama (Hebel) regiment, who was n
particular friend of the oiiieer tt whose
company was ; also Lit tit-Col. Pickens, of
the same regiment, with whom' I had the
advantage ol' a personal acquaint ance. The
colonel was superintending the disiitUrincnt
of 11 number of cases of U.S. lilies, which
lay buried in the ground, and in rows, the
soil heaped over them u il'lltey were grave.
Four of the cases of ritlcs w tie ulready tin
buried when 1 reached the spot, und 1 had
the (to mo unpleasant 1 iit'sl'.u t'011 ot hand
ling siiuie of those guns, w hich hud ulreimy
been taken out of Ihe cases.
1 heard Col. Gayle say that the interment
ot these g'.i;.s w a known nt the Win De

salisfaetory proof that Geo. 15. McClellan, of
the Federal urttiy, nt the outbreak of the lie
hellion and during thu preliminary arrange
ments for the orginizatioii of the Confede
rate nriny, hail offered his services to the
Confederate Government, but that as the
Confederate Government had resolved to
give rank in preference to officers formerly
in the United Slates service, according to
seniority. of rank, they could not giv to
McClellan what he desired, as other olh'cers
ranked him in seniority ; nnd that McClel
lan, having become offended nt thij, then
offered his services to the United Stales.
In December, I had occasion to call
on Governor Shorter, of Alabama, who was
then sojourning at Huutsvillc Hotel, Hunts
ville, Alabama. Gov. Shorter introduced
me to General Watson, wl.o was prevmt.
Tho General recognized mo immediately.
Aud, ns the Governor resumed a conversa
tion with another per.-on in the mom, I,
while in conversation with the General, had
occasion to refer' to our trip to Mobil'1, r.nd
I purposely brought about the conversation
in reference to General .McClellan. uud Gen
eral Watson reiterated tho statement he had
previously made in regard to Mc Clellan.
In tegard to Clcnunt L. Yallandigham,
the Ohio traitor, I will say that timing his
sojourn nt ltiehtnond he was repeatedly
closeted with Jeff. Davis, .Tames A. Seddon,
the Itehel Secretary f f War, and Judith P.
lii iijainin, the liebel Secretary of State.
Dining my visit to Richmond "at that
epoch, 1 learned from reliable sources (.ebel
ollieials) that this Ohio traitor had pledged
his word to the Hebel authorities that if the
Democratic party at the North succeeded
in electing their candidate at thu next
Presidential election, he would use all his
inlluetiee to obtain peace on the basis of a
recognition of the Confederatu States as a
i jn'ritc nnd iiiii jicmlt nt ijiwi rmwnt.
Moreover, during my stay at Richmond,
having called on Mr. benjamin, the Secre
tary of State, with a view to obtain an in
terview on business of a private character, 1
was told by nu otlicial in attendance at tlte
Department of State who of course be
lieved tne to be a loyal confederate that it
was uncertain when I could chance to see
Mr. Henjainin; and that as the visitor of Mr.
ltcnjamin was Mr. Vallandighani, whom
this ollicial styled the "Ohio refugee," the
conference might lie protracted to a late
hour. On that day, although 1 wailetl until
after the hour for transacting business at
that department, I did not get to see Mr.
Ui;njamin.
Al that time, divers wcro the rumors iu
private circles among the lie'iels that Val
landighani had pledged himself to the Con
federate cause. Of this t liu War Depart
ment at Washington was informed iu n re
port made by me and other government
agents.
Great were the expectations of the Rebels
during my last visit within their lines, if
this Vtillandighnm faction succeeded in
electing their candidate to the Presidency.
Let it be remembered that this Vtillandig
hnm faction are the men who seek to elect
George It. McClellan to an office w hich none
but loyal men should till.
Very respectfully, yours, &c,
Emii.K liol 111.1 i:n.

In 1S00 the population of -the three most

capturing their forts, destroying their navy,

O.M'llliKIMi Ml I'.KhriMl Al'rl.K.s In
o'lier to socnie miiiih Iiio.-s utnl ite erv:ition,
it is imlispcMsidoy neees-aiy that the fruit,
should l e got hen d by htind. For w inter
fruit Ihe gathering is delayed as long ns
possible, uvoiiling revire frosts, nnd the
most siiccest ful practice with our extensive
nrchnrdists is to place the good fruit direct
ly, in 11 careful manner, 111 new, tight llmir
barrels, as soon us gathered from the tree.
These barrels shoiihl be ginlly shaken while
filling, and thu head closely pressed in;
they niv then placed in : cool, shady expo
sure under a sited open to the air, or ou thu
north side of a building, protected by 11
coveri'.io; o boards ever the top, where they
remain fur n fortnight, or until the cold be
comes too cove re, when they are carefully
tran.-ilcrred to a cool, dry cellar, in which air
can be admitted occasionally iu brisk weath
er. A cellar for this purpose, should bo dug
in dry gravely or candy soil, with, if possi
ble as lope to the north, or, at imy rate,
with opening on the north side for the ud
niisshm of uirery rarely in weather not ex
cessively cold, litre the barrels should bo
placed on tiers on their sides, and the cellar
should be kept as dark us possible. Iu sueli
a cellar, one of the largest apple-growers in
Duchess county is able to keep the Greening
apple, w hich, in thu fruit room, usually de
cays iu January until tile riist of Aprd, in
the freshest and linest condition. Some per
sons place a layer of clean rye straw between
every layer of apples, when packing them in
barrels. W.i;i;.
Wash t on ISi-ildi.nos. At a recent meet
ing of the New York Farmer's Club, Solon
Robinson recommended a durable wash us
follows: Slake one bushel of good litno und
and make it into whitewash by adding 40
gallons of w ater also add ill) pounds of
Spanish whiting, 17 pounds of salt, and li
pounds of sugar, lie stated the w hiting is
for coating tiie surface, the suit making it
penetrate the wood, and the sugar 10 render
it adhesive. This is doubtless a good wash
for interiors, but we question if it is so well
adapted for out-door work, or where con
stantly exposed to rains and weather, as
some oilier applications. Alter trying many,
we have found the following the best : Mix
three peeks of good fresh water lime with
one peck of very tine and clean sand and
hall a peck of salt. Add water enough to
make it good wash, and apply w ith a brush,
stirring frequently. A single coat will last
several years, especially if applied to rough
boards. There is no kind of wash, however,
and probably never can be, that is equal in
durability and perfection to oil paint,
through which water can never pass, w hile
all the dill'erant washes are soaked through
by every long rain. The lime, however,
penetrating the pores of the wood, greatly
increases its durability, anil if occasionally
repeated w hen needed, is scarcely inferior in
this respect to oil paint.
S'l'ollINO Potatoks FOH WlNTKIl. When
potatoes ure to be put away iu pits, care
should bu taken to keep them us dry as
possible, and to ventilate the pile so that no
confined air shall remain. The best method
is to select a high dry ridge, and w hen the
pile is formed, give it a thick covering of
straw, grass or atalks, with asitliicient thick
ness of earth to render them secure from
frost, and then cover tlie whole with plank
so as to turn off the water into trenches,
which should surround the heap. In form
ing the pile, a tube or several of them, ac
cording to the length of the pit, should bo
extended into the body of the heap nnd
leach to tho top of the earth, for the escape
of hetiteil air. These may be five or ten
inches sqn ire, nud in very cold weather, the
opening should be closed with a bundle of
straw or hay. Without this precaution,
potatoes that are designed for seed, are ns
much injured as if tiny were intended for
the table, liefore planting time they lire
so much grown tint tin. ir strenutli and
vigor are so exhausted tout the sccnniljgrow th
is tiniv.li weaker than the first, causing sun
der, sickly vines and u greatly diminished
en. p.
Kxcept the covering of plank, turnip and
other roots should be stored and ventilated
in the sumo manner.
