The Soldier's Return.
«I left the lines and tented field,
Where Tang I'd been a lodger,
My humble knapsack on my Lack,
A poor, bit honest softer."
It is impossible, without some emotion, to
look upon the brown, weather-beaten counted
nances of the returned soldiers, who, having
faithfully served their country the full time
for which they contracted, are now on their
way to join again the loved ones whom, for
many months, full of hardships and perils,
they have not seen.
As they pass through our city we gaze upon
them with a sort of fascination, our imagina
tion busy picturing the scenes through which
they have passed—the wearisome march, the
bivouac, "the earth their bed, their canopy
the sky," the battle, with its leaden and fiery
hail, the shout, the tumult, the charge, the
field covered with dead and dying heroes,
some whose lives have passed with the swift
ness of the missile that struck them, others
lingering, with fearful hearts, breathing out
their souls slowly and in agony, and still oth
ers not quite stricken to death, but unable to
move, lying helpless upon the trodden and
bloody ground, witnesses of the terrible
strife in which they can no longer par
ticipate—and then, anon, comes upon our
ear the shout of victory, the yell of triumph,
or the low, wailing moan of defeat, when
the battle is irretrievably lost, and the
command, "Fall back !—Retreatl" runs along
the line. What anguish the brave heart feels
when that order is given, when the slow re
treat or the hurried flight for safety commen
ces, and ail is lost but honor. What blighted
hopes, that were bright and buoyant in the
morning, are left behind with the gory dead
and groaning wounded upon that bloody field !
True, none but a - soldier who has passed
through such scenes can know or paint a sol
dier's feelings in the hour of victory or defeat—
and yet we cannot help, while gazing on the
bronzed and war-worn veterans who return to
us after having finished their campaigns, try
ing to realize the sensations they experier ce
while passing through the various phases of a
soldier's life. The camp, the march, the bivou
ac, the battle, the sunshine and the storm—all
these we try to picture as they are, to grasp
in our mind the stern reality, to feel as those
grim warriors upon whom we gaze have felt,
to be as they were, and to see as they saw. In
vain i—we know it is in vain : But there is
rich enjoyment in the effort, and the mind feels
easier and the soul more at rest after the
imagination has done its utmost to transform
us into one of the moving mass of. hardy and
brave men who hiftre battled faithfully under
the dear old flag, whose fame we envy and
whose ' , aunt we cheer.
ritifB on, brave men, you who do not tarry
among us, Whose homes are not here—pass on
to your own hearth-stones, and may all you
loved when you started for the battle-field and
the foe, lire to welcome you back and cheer
your after sojourn among them.
Tile Mob Spirit—lt is officially Indorsed.
The office of the Mentor, at Kittanning,
Armstrong County, in this State, was broken
into very late on Wednesday night, the 29th,
or early on Thursday morning, the 80th ultimo,
ind some five hundred dollars worth of its
material destroyed. The Mentor is a Demo
cratic paper, moderate in its tone and courte
ous in its expression—the very last paper in
the State we should have suspected of standing
in any danger of mob violence. But such is
the infernal spirit of Abolitionism that nothing
which it cannot control and render subservient
to its base and dangerous purposes is safe from
its assaults. The President's fast day was
ushered in at Kittanning by a malicious and
criminal act on the part of his adherents. A
few months ego a similar outrage was perpe
trated upon the Carlisle Volunteer, and on Fri
day last an outrage less in extent, but equal in
degree, was committed in Philadelphia, by
tearing down. a placard from the bulletin board
of the Age newspaper, and threatening the
destruction of the office itself. This last act
has received the sanction, and been greeted
with the applause of the Administration
through its official organ, the Washington
Chroniok, edited by John W. Forney ; and we
may,
, therefore, look for the freqeent recur
rence of similar acts of violence. The Chron
ic/4 • of May 9, has the following :
Goon FOR PRILADET.PRIA.—A telegraphic
dispatch informs us of a small mettl e in the
City of Brotherly Love, caused by a disloyal
demonstration of the Ass of that city, on whose
bulletin board was spread out in flaring capi
" Anether arrest by the govern
ment." This announcement referred to the arrest
by Gen. Burnside of thy. tra:tor Vallantligham,
'who ought long ag o to have been provided with
lodgings fn Fort Layfayette. A soldier tore
the bulletin down. Some of tie clerks in the
face undertook to make a fuss, but the soldier
stood his ground manfully, and the crowd,
which soon collected, stood by him. They
threatened to tear out the whole concern, but
Mayer Henry appeared on the ground, and
tadJlreesed them, -whereupon they slowly dis
persed vet t: three cheers for Joe 11...0ker and
Mayor Rear.y.
This demer.stratieu, coming. from Philadel
phia, which has always been noted for its vio
lent Democratic sympathies. and which, if we
were lc I't VC all Oat is LOA W 7, is even now
strongly inclined to Copperheadism, is very
significint. It shows that the heart of the
people is right—that they are for putting down
the rebellion, and thet they are as anxious to ex
terminate traitors in the North as they are to
conquer the rebels in the South. All honor
to the brave soldier who refused to see his
companions in arms insulted by a treasonable
newspaper, and all honor to the people who
stood by him in his righteous indignation
It seems clear to us that a resort to mob law
for the purpose of overawing Democrats, and
suppressing a free expression of sentiment in
reference to the policy and acts of the admin
istration, has been pre-determined and pre
arranged by the Abolition leaders. How such
outrages should Ile met is a goeation that each
one must determine for himself. We make no
suggestion, but we trust that some course of
action will be adopted which will teach the di
abolical organizers of violence that there is a
spirit yet• left in the breasts of the people which
neither that nor any other effort of tyranny
can terrify or subdue.
et The Despair which Weleomes Despotism
or the Rage which Welcomes Anar
chy?'
The history of these times will date the down
fall of our• institutions or it will chronicle se
rious and useful lessons for the American peo
ple. Whether the experiences of ,the past two
years are to form only an interregnum of
anomalous and instructive oppression, execu
tive weakness and tally, or whether they are
to be the beginning of a new order of things,
remains to be seen. Whichever way the se
quel may prove itself, the heedless and idle
usurpations of our‘ rulers which have wan
tonly stirred up strife and contention among
us in an hour of our extremity and trial, can
not but form the subject of much amazement
to the future student of our history, as the
apathy and servility, the voluntary relinquish
ment of all traditional rights and usages by a
people boastful of their freedom and proud of
the achievements of their fathers, may be read
with the profoundest wonder and regret.
It is not within the compass of any man's
vision to discover and predict, in the midst of
these present convulsions, what course our
history is taking. The season is one of experi
ment and uncertainty ; the trial is being made
directly to test the virtue of the people ; if
that fails great changes in our polit; begin.
The most rational view of our political condi
tion is that which rests it upon the power not
alone of written instruments, not upon the
effect of geographical limits and divisions, not
upon any physical force to compel obedience
to existing law, but upon the spirit of amity,
concord and agreement among the people,
upon the power behind the exigencies of the
past, alive to the exigencies of the present,
upon the wise and salutary and constant wil
lingness which must be made to pervade the
whole country, to compromise all differences,
to adjust all conflicting interests, an eager and
ever uppermost desire to maintain, in spirit
and in truth, the perfect UNITY OF THE NATION.
So excellent has such a doctrine proven
hitherto, that it has been the sole burden of
the teachings of the framers of our written
Constitution ; so powerfully has it appealed to
the candor and good sense of a great people,
that it has brought us successfully through
every ordeal of our history, down to the be
ginning of the present era, in almost undis
turbed tranquility, through unparalleled pro
grew and prosperity. A rejection of such a
doctrine now implies a change at once of many
forms and observances of law and order we
had been taught to cling to and respect—so
complete a revolution in the public mind,
that from being itself the independent motive
• power of our whole machinery of national life
and government, it must be made to become
only the lubricating medium of usurpation
and oppression. Theie is 'no lialf•way when
changes once begin in times like these—the
choice lies between a strict observance of all
the solemn pledges which have bound the peo
ple and their rulers reciprocally together in,
the past and maintained the present system of
our government, and a sudden and disastrous
disruption, a breaking up of laws and usages
which, from having stood so firmly heretofore
all the trials from poveity to wealth, from war
and suffering to peace and plenty, we know
may be adequate alike to all the necessities
which are upon us now, and a breaking down of
that brave and generous spirit among the peo
ple which has carried us through every na
tional vicissitude and been equal to every na
tional emergency—a forced but obedient ser
vility, or an open and desperate resistance,
which may plunge us deeper yet into a terrible
intestine struggle which it must be the prayer
and endeavor of every true' patriot to avert.
The wisdom of the present national admin
istration has not taught it to abide by the laws
and the Constitution whieh it has sworn to
administer and which the people have furnished
men and means and are pouring out their blood
to defend and maintain. It has chosen to de
part from lawful measures to govern and re
strain the people from whom it derives exis
tence, to whom it must look always for sup
port. It has exalted itself above the powers
delegated to it under the charter of the peo
p e's liberties. It has forsworn allegiance to
the supreme authority of the Law ; it has
forgotten .its relations to the people and dis
eirded the moral obligation that it owes- to
public confidence and respect; in a word, it
has chosen to break the pledges given and
received in faith, and aims not to maintain.
the Constitution, the rights of freemen seer*
ly entruste 1 to its keeping, but to usurp pow
ers not granted in our laws and statutes, to
overthrow the public liberties and erect the
d nipotiEm of its own will out of the ruins of
a Free Republic, founded alone on the Will of
the People.
It is idle to attemet to obscure the designs
of the desperate coterie of demagogues whom
their partisans are wont to call the Gov
ernment; they are avowed, anti are -already
openly put in operation. Sewerd'a boast, "ely
Lord, I can ring a bell and order the arrest of
a citizen in Ohio," has been practically carried
Out within the past ten days. Ilalleek's threat
against the "sneaking traitors at home"—(in
Halleek's glossary, all who do not agree with
and submit to the infamous and: besotted bigots
of his own and Seward's stripe at We. shingtor.)
—has been initiated in stirring up the angry
bleed and pt salons of the soldiers in the field,
by the forced intreduction of polities and par
tisan prints into the army. The three pelt.-
eipal statutes passed at the last Cedgress
through the instigation of the administration,
by a temporary representation of a oonaidera
_ .
ble minority of the people—the Act oflndeM
nity, the Conscription Act and the Banking
Law—each having features in direct violation
of the Constitution, and all tending to cen
tralise undue ,powers in the hands and at the
discretion of men who have proven themselves
only fit to use it for the proscription and op
pression of their own people, are bat parts of
the fearful drama which we are enacting as a
nation, and which, carried to its close, must
end in actual anarchy, or find its more legiti
mate catastrophe in the accomplished pur
pose of steadily encroaching despotism—the
final supremacy of Force over the Freedom
and Equality, the inalienable rights of the sov
ereign freemen of the nation. The rancorous
divisions which the administration has been
mainly instrumental in bringing about among
the people—oath-taking leagues, and threats
of violence against their neighbors rife in the
mouths of men banded together under the ex.
press patronage and approval of the national
authorities, are seeds of discord sown to bear
the first fruits of popular eonveleion and aid
the •
projected infamy of a Reign of Terror.
Evidences are not wan ting i on every hand to
prove what a merely speculative interest might
readily divine in the, tendency of the times.
Te coming danger the eye and ear of him who
is in jeopardy are senses sometimes painfully
acute. Unless the conservative men of the
country are equal to the emergency, the dark
hour of our extremity will be upon us before
we can avert it. Unless the people arouse
themselves to a full sense of the threatened
peril which approaches—if they fail to provide
against it by recourse in their combined
strength to the only refuge which is left them,
the ballot-box—we may look to see the memo
rable prediction verified which we have quoted
at the beginning—we shall anticipate "the de
spair which welcomes despotism, or the rage
which welcomes anarchy."
Case of C. L. Vallandigham.
As the public have some curiosity to know
for what offence Mr. Vallandigham wee seized
by military authority and arraigned and tried
before a military court, we subjoin the charge
and specification, together with the protest of
the accused. We shall probably publish, when
we find room, the testimony in this singular
and aggravated ease of military outrage :
CHARGE
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,
desisting disloyal sentiments awl opinions,
with the object and purpose of weakening the
purer of the government in its efforts to sup
press an unlawful rebellion.
SPECIFICATION
In this, that the said Clement L. VaHandl
gham, a citizen of the State of Ohio, on or
about the-Ist day of May, 1863, at Mount Ver
non, Knox county, Ohio, did publicly address
a large meeting of citizens, and did utter sen
timents, in words or in effect, as follows, de
claring the present war "a wicked, cruel,
and unnecessary war ;" "a war not being
waged for the preservation 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 enslavement of
the whites;" stating, "that if the administra
tion had so wished, the war could have been
honorably terminated months ago ;" that
"peace might have been honorably obtained
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, had been rejected the day before
the late battle at Fredericksburg, by Lincoln
and his minions," meaning thereby the Presi
dent of the United States and those under hitn
in authority. Charging "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 Headquarters De
partment of the Ohio, as "a base usurpation of
arbitrary authority," inviting his hearers to
resist the same, by saying, "the sooner the
people inform the minions of usurped power
that they will , not submit to such restrictions
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 govern
n ent;" asserting "that he firmly believed, as
he said six months ago, that the men in power
are attempting to establish a despotism in this
country, more cruel and more oppressive than
ever existed before."
All of which opinions and sentiments he well
knew did aid, comfort and encourage those in
arms against the government, and could but
induce in his hearers a distrust of their own
government and sympitthy for those in arms
against it, and a disposition to resist the laws

MR. VALLANDIGHAM'S PROTEST.
Arrested without due process of law, without
warrant from any judicial officer, and now
in military custody, I have been served 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 such court, but am subject, by
the express terms of the Constitution, to ar
rest 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 com
pulsory process for witnesses in my behalf,
and'am entitled to counsel. All these de
mand 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
thereof. It is words spoken to the people of
'Ohio in an open public political meeting, law
fully and peacefully assembled, under the Con
stitution, and upon full notice.
It is the words of a citizen; of the p.tblic,
policy 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 dis
obedience to the Constitution, or resistance t o
law or lawful authority. I have never done
this. I have nothing further to submit,.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
The Philadelphia Press of 'yesterday con
tains a dispatch dated Washington, May 10,
(Sunday,) 10 o'clock p, m., which states, on the
authority of persons who left the army of Gen.
Hooker on Saturday evening, that the army is in
the best spirits, everything in readiness to re
cross, and that some Corps had crossed on Satur
day evening. It reiterates, the statement that
Gen. Pleasanton crossed on Saturday,proceeded
to Chanceßeveille, and found na rebels, except a.
few stragglers and skulkers, the enemy having
retreated. The Press says, "we submit the
evidence as it comes, and express no other
opinion." [ln our opinion it is not true. We i
have just as reliable intelligence that Hooker
was beastly drunk and entirely Incapacitated
for command or anything else, on Sunday, and
the reports that the army has entire confidence
in him are unfounded. Rumors of all kinds
are rife, but they are quite as unreliable as the
War Department dispatches and Forney's edi
torials.]
A rebel dispatch in the Chattanooga Rebel,
dated Jackson, Miss., May 5, says the Federal
army was defeated on the 4th, after a four
hours' fight at Anderson's Ferry, on Big Black
river. Doubtful.
There are full rebel accounts of the pursuit,
defeat and capture of Col. Haight by Forrest,
but they are not fully credited. They repre
sent his forces to have consisted of the 3d
Ohio, 18th Illinois, 51st and 73d Indiana, with
three companies of Alabamians, and four
mountain howitzers.
The Memphis Bulletin of the oth says that
Grant has sent 1,900 prisoners to Milliken's
Bend. A portion of his forces, when last heard
from, were within twenty miles of Jackson,
and had taken several days' rations with them.
It was reported that the bridge over the Big
Black Bayou had been destroyed, thus cutting
off the rebel retreat from Vicksburg.
FRANKLIN, Tenn., May 10.—A flag of truce
from Spring Hill to-day reports Van Dorn's
death confirmed. He was shot by Dr. Peters,
not Major Cheery. There had long been an
undue intimacy between Mrs. Peters and Gen.
Van Dorn. Dr. Peters escaped to Nashville.
Major Omen' W. H, Jackson, formerly of the
United States army, temporarily succeeds Van
Dorn in command. Brigadier General Dobuey
H. Maury will soon take command. All quiet,
NORFOLK, Va., May 10.—At a convention of
the loyal citizens of 'the Second Congressional
district, in which all the district not in pos
session of the enemy was represented by dele
gates, held in Norfolk, May 9, Mr. L. H. Chan
dler was unanimously nominated as the can
didate to represent the Union party in the
ensuing election.
NEWBERN, N. C.., May 6.—On the sth inst.,
Lieut. Col. Lewis, of the 3d New York cavalry,
made a reconnoissance with a battalion of his
regiment from Newport to Fettle's Mills, where
Capt. Wharton's rebel company were stationed.
Col. Lewis, taking the enemy by surprise,
ordered a charge, which resulted in the ear -
ture of the rebel camp, thirty-six horses, four
teen prisoners, the company's arms and equip
ments, without any loss on our. side. Two of
the enemy were killed.
A sensation was created here by the mar-
riage this morning of Charles C. Lawrence, of
Boston, a member of the 44th Massachusetts,
to the accomplished daughter of Israel Digo
sway, a banker in Newbern. After making a
transfer of his property to the bridegroom,
the father left our lines with other disloyal
citizens.
Nearly twelve thousand men belonging to
nine months and two years regiments in this
department will soon be mustered out of the
service. It is hoped that the patriotism of the
North will perceive the propriety of raising a
fund to promote enlistments in loyal North
Cgrolina regiments.
By telcraph yesterday afternoon :
MURFREESBORO', May 9.—The Southern Rebel
contains the following dispatch from General
Lee to President Davis, dated Gaines, net , r
Fredericksburg, May 5:
At the close of the battle on Sunday the ene
my was reported advancing from Fredericks
burg on our rear. General M'Laws was sent
back to arrest his progress, and repulsed him
handsomely. On that afternoon learning that
his forces consisted of two corps, under Gen.
Sedgwick, I determined to attack him, and
marched back yesterday with Gen. Anderson
and united with M'Laws early in the afternoon
and succeeded, by the blessing of Heaven, in
driving Sedgwick over the river. We reoccu
pied Fredericksburg, and no enemy remains
south of the Rappahannock, or in the vicinity.
(Signed) R. E. LEE,
General Commanding.
Iticiixos . n, May Bth.—No official dispatches
were received last night from General Lee,
but private dispatches report our vihory com
plete. General Jackson's left arm has been
skillfully amputated below the shoulder, and
he has been removed to a country house fifteen
miles distant. Direct communication with the
army has not yet been re-established.
MURFREESBORO', May 9.—Rebel reports
from Chattanooga say that a force which was
sent out from this army under Col. Haight, of
the 51st Indiana, has been taken near Rome,
Georgia, after five battles. The rebels say
Forrest pursued Haight, driving him, and
finally capturing his force.
Rteuttord, May G.—An official account of
the destruction of the barges and tugs at Vicks
burg, says twenty-four prisoners were taken,
among them a correspondent of the New York
Times, two of the N. Y Tribune, and one of the
Cincinnati Times.
LOUISVILLE, May 10.—Portions of , the 9th
and 11th cavalry, under Col. Jacobs, on Satur •
day attacked a guerrilla camp, near Horseshoe
Bend, on the Cumberland, capturing eight
prisoners. This morning Jacobs's oamp was
attacked, and, after two hours hard fighting,
the rebels were driven off in great confusion
and with heavy loss.
Saw YORE, May 10.—Steamer Oriole, from
Port Royal on the 6th, arrived at this port to
day. All the iron-clads had• left there for
North Edisto. The new Ironsides remained
at anchor off Charleston bar.
ST. LOUIS, May 11.—The sale or distribution
of the Freeman's Jeurnai and Caucasian, of

Journal, of Jerseyville, Illinois, the Chicago
Times and Di:Uque Herald, have been prohibi
ted in .his military district, by order of Gen.

WA9IIII4GT.t4, May 33.343hErkoni: Ex
aminer of the 7th says, "the destruction of
large trains of Government wagons at Aylett's,
and stores of grain at that place is the moat
serious loss we have Buffered from the raid.
The Government was deriving large supplies
from that section of the State, and had unfor:
Innately within the last week largely increased
its wagon trains."
Another article says: "In consequence of
active operations in the field and the limited
means of transportation, the wounded on the
field and all at Gninney depot are suffering for
food." Hence an appeal is made to the be

that city. ,
NEW YORK, May 11_—The Post learns that
Gen. HaHeck is to take the field, not to relieve
Hooker, but to be better able to influence the
general dit;eetical of events. Gen. Hooker did
not execute his retrograde movement until he
had planned his present one, and became sat
isfied of its superiority to any effort he could
make in the field of Chancellorville.
CAPE RACE, May 11.—The steamship Bohe
mian passed here this morning, bringing ad
