COTE LETTER FROM MON, EDMUND • rINIURKE, Po t 1 e Editor of the National Eagle: In your issue of the 16th inst., I iloticed a communication dated at "Hilton Head, S. C., April 1, 1863," signed tV. H. W.," purporting to have been written by a soldier, in which I find the following sentences: ..Pwould like to come North and stop out week. I would appoint a Copper head funeral every day, and would see that a corpse was ready." * * * "I would as soon bhoot a Copperhead as I would a snake by that name." From the language of the Repub lican press and orators I understand a "Copperhead" to be a Democrat.-- 16 is a blackguara term, but I do not quarrel with , the Republican presses and orators for using It, they being the best Ad a ges of :what is becoming and respectable for them in the mat ter of manners. Such being the meaning of the term, the soldier, therefore, who wrote the letter pub lished in your paper, avows his de termination to shoot and murder his fellow-citizens because they believe in the Democratic faith, and support Ithiu:prin4les and policy of the Dem ,.oerittic party. 'You publish the letter without Ardift or comment, or dissent „from the atrocious and murderous senti .meht which it expresses.. You thus,' hoye, contribute - the inilnertee,:oryotri paper to stir up to deeds Ofviolence,uutrage and blood, the latent; undisciplined passions of society which, when once let loose, like famishing wolves, know no re straint or moderation. Are we, Democrats, many of us your neighbors and subscribers to your paper, to infer that you approve of such sentiments ? % e desire, and are entitled to, a distinct answer to ~this question. • ; ..Rave ycia reflected upon the pro b able consequences of the utterance of such inflammatory and vile son ti ,ln-inUS as are ,contained in the letter 44:)fthe soldier above referred to, and 'ire too common in the columns of the Republican press, and in the mouths of Republican orators? If they were to prevail, would you entirely safe ? If Democrats, or "Copperheads"—as we are called, in derision, by a rarty who carry upon their shoulders the awful and appal cd being the primary authors of the present civil war and the de-' structiou of the Union—are to be shot down and murdered in cold blood, do you think that the public peace would be long maintained in 'ttie Nora, and that you, Republi „cane .would.escapc all danger ? "layl ao, such flattering unction to your soul.” Th'e .beginning of such business is the beginning of clvil war and anarchy here in the North. The first Democrat shot down will be the signal - for the slaughter of a Repub lican, and the horrible work once begun, *here would it end ? 'And what would ise,‘ the fate of the Re pabliesins: between the fire of the mbolson one side, and the outraged and:incensed Democratb on the oth sr ? I will answer no further than to say, that the Drmocraey would not be the greatest sufferers in the end, and would not be annihilated. As to the soldier who wrote the letter above alluded to, if he be a soldier, and has thus disgraced his patriotic calling, all I have to say, is, that he uttered sentiments worthy only of a vile and excerable murder er. Let him come, and darn Attempt to execute hls&trinious threats.:, lie would not wake any corpses before he would be one himself. Both he, and yea, and all Republicans, should uudvrstand that it is the ( firm spirit andresolute purpose of the Democ racy to .. defend.. themselves, their property and theirrights A to any ex tremity which the occasion alay.de wand. We do not enter into any defense of our patriotism and loyalty in comparison with the. patriotism and loyalty of Republicans. We have always been tree to our country and to the Union. We have been neither the originators nor .fermenters of a sectional party, which has resulted in the destruction of the Union and in civil war. We have opposes the causes and the men that have brought these calamitous results upon the country. And we have rallied with as much zeal as the Republicans to the support of the existing adminis tration in its constitutional measures to repair the huge mischiefs which the Republican party has been instru ward ,•in, bringing about; at the tiianut s ,time. beigg..resolved to hold that.party responsible at the bar of Goa and the Peoplo i torttheir agency in this terrible business of,destroying our country ; and from which re-' aponsibility we do net intend they shall escape, by any threats or mons-- oes of violence to ourselves. And finally, the Democracy are resolved to maintain their rights at all haz ards, let them be assailed from what ever source they may. And in view of the bloody menaces which appear in Republican newspapers and fall from the lips of &publican orators, say to my. Democratic friends—Be '.ready for any pat:claw 1 therefore sehmif t •to. year cool sad calm judgment, whether it is . • , . . be plaileal, — Tor iterthlical 'prisses, orators or 'soldiers, to in &lige in any more threats to murder Democrats, or to commit outrages upti them, because' they claim and will enjoy the rights and privileges of American citizens. I can hardly think the leaders of the Republican party rea ly desire to inaugurate murder, revolution and anarchy at their own doors. But I may be mis taken. Their infatuation in this dark period of our country's peril and suf fering is astonishing , and nobody can foresee , to what foll y, crime and ca lamity it may lead. The very fact that you have pub lished. without dissent and censure, suck &letter as that which has called forth this communication, is one of the gloomy presages of impending evil which overshadows ouruow suf ficiently afflicted country. If the administration and the Re publican soldiers would display half as much resolution and energy in conquering the rebels as they mani fest in their endeavors to put down the Democratic party, they might win some victories which would be creditable to themselves and the country. But the conquest and sub jugation of the Democratic party they will find to be an utter impossi bility, whether they attempt to ac complish the result by contumely, threats.or arms. It is high time they comprehended- this fact, and acted accordingly. • • As lam never ashamed, nor afraid, to avow publicly what I write for •the public press, I sign my name, in pro pria persona.

The Democratic members of the Legis lature have issued an address to theircon stitutents, containing the following as to the duty of the Democracy . In the midst of the surrounding gloom, with a desperate struggle forced upon us, the dutty of.the.Democracy of New York, can be clearly discerned. "It is to furnish to those in authority all constitutional means for the successful conduct of the war till the armed force of the rebellion" —the object and aims of which we heart ily condemt.—is troken, and to struggle persistently against a dismemberment of the Union. We must cling to the Union and stand by the Constitution. and up hold the cause of law and order. We must save our own noble State from an archy,-while we.maintain; with eonstan,cy and patience its inalienable rights of sov ereignty and independence. While the elective franchise is left free, and the courts of justice are maintained in their functions, we must trust to them for the vindication of political and personal rights. We must support the Adminis tration in all coi.stitutional measures to suppress rebellion ; we must even uphold it in its functions, lest .in its imbecility of judgnent and lack of 'moral courage, it sink out of existence, before the appoint ed day of its expiration ; lest we should realize by its death, as we have by so many acts of its'life, the fearful calamity of the disorganization of the very form, and function, and, frame work of our Fed eral system.

Judge Leavitt stated that it was the Fettled practice of the Uni ' ted States Courts not to grant the writ without good and sufficient grounds, an 4 not.to.do anything which would be nuga tory. la itsr9perations. Moreover, he re garded it-as an act•of comity and courte sy to General Burnside• to.notify him that such an applidation 'was pending, that he might have .an opportunity.of showing why such a writ should ;not be issued.—.

VALLANDIG 1.16-,7113 OHABOE WSPEOIVOATIOIB-THE PRO TEIT'Or M VALLANDIMUL On yesterday evening permission was given to the press, by General Burnside, to publish the proceedings had before the military Court mar tial on Wednesday and Thursday, in the trial of Hon. C. L. Vallandig ham. The evidence before the Court was fully reported, but as an official record of all the proceedings has been requested of, and grante•i by General Burnside, we will postpone the publication of the testimony ad duced until after such record has been furnished which will probably be in time for our issue• to-morrow. We give, however, - the charges and specifications wader which Mr. Val landigham was arrested - and tried, and his protest as to the proceedings had by tie military authorities. The following is the charge and specifica tion : Charge—Publicly expressing, in violation of General Orders No. 38, from headquarters Department of the Ohio, his sympathies with those in arms against the Government of the United States, declaring disloyal 'sentiments and opinions, with the objeot and purpose , of weakening . the powerofti?e Government lit its of forts to suppress an unlawful rebel lion. Specification--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 meeting of citizens, and did utter sentences in words, or in effect, as follows-: declaring the present war "a wicked, cruel and unnecessary war;" a "war not beirig waged for the preserva tion of the Union;" a "war for the purpose of crushing out liberty, and erecting a despotism ; a "war for the freedom of the blacks and the en slaving 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 honorabiy obtained ,by listening to thc- proposed interme diation of France ;" that "proposi tions by which the Southern States .could le won rback, and the South be guaranteed their " rights under tho Constitution had been rejected the day before the :battle of Preder ickshurg, by Lincoln and his min- :ions;" meaning thereby the Presi dent of the United States and those under him in authority charging that "the Government of the United were about to appoint military Mar shals in every district to restrain the people of their liberties, to deprive them of their rights a .d privileges;" characterizing General Order No. 38, from Headquarters Department of the Ohio, as "a base usurpation of ar bitrary authority," inviting his hear ers to resist the same by saying, "The sooner the people inform the minions of usurped power, that they will nal, submit to such restrictions upon their liberties the better;" de claring that "he was at all times and upon all occasions resolved to do what he could to defeat the attempts now being made to build up a mon archy upon the ruins of our free Government;" asserting that "he firmly believed," as he said six months ago, "that the men in power are attempting to establish a despot ism in this country more cruel and more oppressive than ever existed before." All of which opinions and senti ments he .well knew did aid, comfort and encourage those.in arma_against the Government, and could but in duce in his hearers a distrust of their own Government and a sympathy for those in arms 'against it, and a disposition to resist the laws .of ,the land.

PROTEST Arrested without due "process of law"—without a warrant from any judicial officer, and now in a military prison, I have been served with a "charge and specification," as in a Court-Martial or Military Commis sion I am not in either "the land or naval forces of the United States nor in the militia in the actual servir of the United States," and therefore not triable• for any cause by any such court; but am subject, by the express terms of the Constitution, to arrest only by due process of law— judicial warrant regularly issued upon affidavit, and by some officer or court of competent jurisdiction for the trial of citizens, and am now titled to be tried on an indictment or preEentment of a grand jury of such court; to speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State of Ohio ; to be confronted with witnesses against me; to have com pulsory process for witnesses in my behalf; the assistance of counsel for my defence, and evidence and' argu ment according. to the common law and the usages of judicial courts.— And al! these I here demand as my rightas a citizen of the United States, and under the Constitution of the United States. But the alleged "offense" itself is not known to the Constitution of the :United States, nor to any law there of. -It is words spoken to the people - of Ohio in an open and public politi cal tneeting, lawfully and peaceably asSombled under the Constitution, and upon full notice. It is words of criticism of the public policy of the ,public servants of the people, by which policy it was alleged that the welfare of the country was not pro moted. It was an appeal to the peo ple to change that policy, not by force, but by free elections and the ballot box. It is not pretended that coins , 3led disobedience to the Con stitution, or resistance to laws or aw ful authori never have. Beyond this protest, .I. have noth ing funliei. to submit. C. L e .

"We hold, moreover, that the conduct of the war has been marked by a brilliant series of the most wonderful victories, ex cept a few instances of disaster, caused by such copperheads as McClellan and Buell. "We still believe that this wicked re-' hellion will be squelched in the original ninty days, and that the only reason why a few old women did not 'whip the rebels before breakfast, was because Father Abraham, in the kindness of his heart, .(see Tod on deserters) failed to conscript them out of fender regard for age and 'sex.

News Dirpet from Hooker's Army! IT IS STILL 114 CAMP AT FALMOUTH The Spirit and FeelLugot the meu—Result of Stouemau 9 s Raid Exaggerated. PHILADELPHIA, May 14. —An edito rial in to-day's Tribune says :-0 fir I news from the Rappahannock is di- J rect and positive down to Tuesday morning last, at which time one of 1 the editors of this journal left the army of the Potomac. All reports of movements since General Hooker re crossedthe riverdn the night of May ( sth are whogy without fbundation. (:The army,' after reachins the e . nbyth I side of the RaPpahannOck," returned leisurely to its old camps, and has oc cupied them ever since. General Sedgwick has not re crossed with two Corps, or one, or with any force whatever, nor has any other commander or body of troops been beyond the lines of the camps. When the army does move, and 'whittler it goes, will probably be known after it has started, and not •before. • The troops are in good spirits.— Among the rank .and file there is certainly a feeling of disappointment at the retreat but nothing which can be called demoralization. It is ditli cult perhape, for the army to under stand why the first campaign is aban doned, but they are nevertheless en tirely ready to begin another, and will enter upon it with confidence in themselves and their commanders. Gen. Stoneman's cavalry perform ances have been very extensively re ceived as a complete success, and it seems right, therefore, to say that they have been eiaggerated. Some mischief was done on the Virginia Central Railroad, a matter of little or no consequence to the immediate success of the Movement with which the cavalry was expected to co-op erate, but the Richmond and Fred ericksburg Railroad was so little in jured the trains were not stopped for twenty-four liourS. Gen. Stoneman was ordered to strike that road by forced marches 'and destroy it His forced marches consisted in taking four days to trav el forty-five miles, from Kelley's Ford to Sexton's Junction, and the ~d eStruction was confined to blowing up one or two culverts and displacing a few rads. Tee destruction ia oth er places was more extensive, but this does not int'errupt Lee's Commu nication with Richmond—the essen tial purpose of General Stoneman's expedition. It is idle to deny the campaign of Gen. Hooker. which began so auspi ciously, came to a premature and in effectual end. His losses were con siderably heavier than the published estimates, and will not amount to less than sixteen thousand, but may a little reluced. Lee is said to -tit a loss of eighteen thousand, ch is far greater than ours in portion to the strength of his General Hooker's army, ever, still largely outnumbers rebel forces, and since it is unde bly in good spirits and condition, us hope that its next movement close the long catalogue of its arses by a decisive victory.

The Richmond En quirer of tne 7th gives the following account cf the character of the wounds: Our victory on the Rap 'pahannock has cost ' . us dear in the 'severe wounds unfortunately - receiv ed by the great and good Jackson. His left arm has been am putated above the elbow ; a bullet. has passed throilyh lies right hand.

'ry on Wednesday night on Sixty- First street,' New York, was most remarkable in its effects. Thousands of pounds of the terrible explosive 'were consumed iu one terrific crash, Over a hundred buildings in the tip per part of the city, am! in the sh burban cities were shaken almoSt out of their TOundations; the noise of the explosion' was distinctly heard in New Haven, and - bullets were hurl ed through the air to Long island ; and yet wonderful to relate, there does not seem to have been sin& life lost. The New Haven steamboat on her 'way to New Haven, was °P- I posite the foot of Seventy ninth street when the catastrophe occur red, and, although she had Black well's Island between her and the city at the time, nearly every pano of glass in the saloon and state rooms was broken, and her machine ry was badly jarred. Some houses in Willianishwg had their windows broken, and all the buildinga'withiii the radius of a mile from the maga zine were shattered and cracked as though by a terrible earthquake.— The damage done will easily reach one hundred thousand dollars. An other singular Or ci.msta.nce is, that although the sound of the explosion was heard in New Haven, it was not heard at all in the lower part of the city. Whether the magazine was fired by an incendiary, or by some , unaccountable aceiJent, has not yet transpired. News From Grant's Depart- n~ent. CAnto, May 14.—Adjutant Gen.
