spect. They then agreed they would not de
stroy the office if we would give a favorable
notice of their return. I assured them that
we would by all means give them a favorable
notice, and that it was • already prepared for
publication. They then returned to the portico
of the office, and were shouted to by citizens
and told that now was the time—it must be
done, that the citizens here wished it done, and
they had plenty of backing. They again en
tered the office, said the citizens wanted it done,
and they commenced the work of destruction,
by upsetting cases and throwing them into the
street. I remained in the office until every
thing was thrown into the street except the
press. Under my writing table was a large
box containing rare and valuable selections of
a private library. As they came to it I pro
tected against its destruction, telling them that
it was private property that had nothing to do
with the printing office. They declared that
made no difference, and their imprecations
grew louder and fiercer. As they were drag
ging the press to the door I retired through
the back passage and secured a ease of valu
able papers—took a position in an adjoining
building to look down upon a crowd of out
laws rioting over the spoils and appropriating
whatever was valuable to their own private
uses.
A Republican ahoriff was appealed to for
protection, but acid he had no authority and
refused to interfere. The marshal looked on
with gratification, and in the evening pro
nounced an approval of the act.
The Democracy will assemble on Friday, the
29th inst., to adopt measures for the restora
tion of the paper.

Iv le - wonderful how Dime people become en
slaved by their theories.—lfraahinyton Chroni
cle.
Yes, and Forney is not an exception—nor is
the administration, whose organ he is. But it
is less wonderful that they should become en
slaved by their theories, than that they should
undertake to enslave others to them, which is
the case with Forney and those whom he now
Serves. It would matter very little to the peo
ple how much Mr. Lincoln and his sUpporters
are enslaved by their new-fangled Abolition
ideas and theories; but it greatly concerns the
people to find that every means of persuasion
and power, artifice and tyranny, are being used
to enslave them to those ideas and theories.
The Sentence Upon Vallaudighaut.
The N. Y. Sun says: "If this sentence is
carried out, it will be in defiance of the opin
ions of the great mass of the American people.
No government in Europe would dare to resist
so strong an expression of public sentiment, as
the proceedings against Mr. Vallandigham
have thus far elicited. We cannot believe that
the President and the administration can be so
criminally indifferent to the signs of the times.
The Union can survive the assault; of all the
armed and disarmed Vallandighams of the
South and. North, but it cannot long exist with
out free speech and trial by jury."
What Will They Do With It?
Supposing the accounts which we have from
Gen. Grant's department to be true—that a
great victory has been achieved and the im
mense rebel army collected for the defence of
Vicksburg been either captured or demoralized
—the first question that suggests itself to our
mind in reference to the success obtained is,
"What will the administration do with it ?"
They will use it either wisely or unwisely—
either for weal or for woe. Which will it be ?
To judge them by their antecedents, we have
every reason to fear that it will be unwisely
nsed,for certainly no administration could have
shown less statesmanship or less true patriot
ism than has that of Mr. Lincoln.
But let ns hope—it is all we may—that, in
the providence of Clod, they may be influenced
to the adoption of a sounder policy than that
which they have been so foolishly and so wick
edly pursuing.
A proper use of this great victory—modera
tion and wisdom in this hour of triumph, may
be attended with the happiest results—may,
before long, restore peace, and with it the re
establishment of the Constitution end the re
toration of the Union.
But a blind persistence in the policy of ab
solute subjugation—an- adherence to the mad
design of abolishing slavery or disrupting:the
Union in the attempt, can only end in accom
plishing the latter, and so bringing ruin upon
this whole people.
If the men who now are at the head of this na
tion, instead of wisely and patriotically improv
ing the occasion offered by the brilliant success
of our arms, shall only grow proud, more confi
dent of carrying out their scheme of subjuga
tion and emancipation—shall only harden their
hearts and go blindly onward in the course
they have marked out—there can be but one
result—destruction of the government and
ruin to themselves in common with others ; for
they would be the veriest madmen to suppose
that in the downfall of millions they alone whO
caused the ruin would escape.
If all wisdom has not departed from them—
if they are not utterly forsaken of Heaven and
given over to destruction, they will seize the
moment of victory to hold out the olive branch,
to disavow their sectional policy, and invite a
return of the people of the revolted States to
full membership in the Union as it was under
the Constitution as it is_
Any other policy than this will turn the
fruits of victory to ashes on our lips, and de
stroy every hope of a happy issue to the war ;
for a people Wm the poorly of the south oannOt
be subjugated—and if they could, they would
be no longer Of us, nor would the government
be that which the blood and wisdom of our
fathers gave us.,
We confess that we have lost all confidence
in this administration—in its wisdom and in
its good intentions; but we may be somewhat
mistaken—we earnestly pray that we are—for
on the realization of that hope, as we said
before,Nepends the fate of the nation.
,
Vallauffigham—The Sentence Executed.
We have to-day further tidings from Vallan
digham. The sentence of the President is by
this time probably put in execution=the fate
for a time of the illustrious martyr, who has
been the shining mark of executive oppression,
is settled by the ostracism of a tyrannous edict
passed with all the seeming sanctity of author
ity. Unconvicted, in defiance of his-protest
and the solemn assertion of his loyalty, in
utter disregard of facts which prove his inno
cence of charges brought in the very wanton
ness of kyle/mess agaiatt him, in epito 6f all
his claims to the citizenship and the protection
of a sovereign State, he has been coolly kid
napped and carried into exile by those who
recognize and obey the professed administra
tors of the law. The first flush of feeling
which the reception of the news of his arrest
and subsequent condemnation produced, was
one of unbridled anger and indignation. The
liberty of the nation had been insulted, the
sacred immunity of person, which has descen
ded to us in the dearest trat7.tione of our hie
tory, was felt to have been ruthlessly violated
and set at naught. Public meetings were at
once called to resent the act; the conservative
press and many journals of opposite proclivi
ties vainly pronounced the seizure unwarran
table, impolitic and dangerous. The calm
conclusion which must now rest in the minds
of all right-thinking men will decide how
great is the enormity, how ominous must be the
tendency of the outrage. To the late meet
ing at Albany, which took place before the de
livery and execution of the final sentence, Gov.
Seymour wrote :
"It is an act which has brought dishonor
upon our country ; it is full of danger to our
persons and oar homes ; it bears upon it front
a conscious violation of law and of justice.—
Acting upon the evidence of detailed informers,
shrinking from the light of day in the darkness
of night, armed men violated the home of an
American citizen, and furtively bore him away
to a military trial conducted without those
safeguards known in the proceedings of our
judicial tribunals.
"The transaction involved a series of offen
ces against eur most sacred rights. It inter
fered with the freedom of speech ; it violated
our rights to be secure in our homes against
unreasonable searches and seizures ; it pro
nounced sentence without a, trial save one
which was a mockery which insulted as well as
wronged. The perpetrators now seek to im
pose punishment, not for an offence against
law, but for a disregard of SP, invalid order,
put forth in an utter disregard of the princi
ples of civil liberty."
The military upstart and his presumption,
were thus deliberately judged by the safest
and soundest statesmen of our time. Of the
Metal endorsement. of the government with an .
equal sagacity he said :
" If this proceeding is approved by the gov
ernment and sanctioned by the people, it is
not merely a step towards revolution, it is revo
lution ; it will not only lead to military des
potism, it establishes military despotism. In
this aspect it must be accepted, or in this as
'Feet it must be rejected.
" If it is upheld our liberties are overthrown.
The safety of our persons, the security of our
property, will hereafter depend upon the arbi
trary wills of such military rulers as may be
placed over us while our coustitutional guar
anties will be broken down."
The proceedings of the drum-head tribunal
have been approved by the government—
whether they will be endorsed by the people
remains to be seen. A precedent is estab
lished for the future which will meet with
effectual resistance or be the beginning of a
reign of terror. The passionate outburst of
popular feeling has subsided for the moment ;
but should temerity beget confidence and
lead to other experiments upon public peace,
the present calm may only prelude the com
ing storm. The observations which follow in
the succeeding extract from another portiOn of
this memorable letter, will press . themselves
upon the consideration of every thoughtful and
reflective mind :
" It is a fearful thing to increase the danger
which now overhangs us bythreatening the law,
tha judiciary and the authorities of States with
contempt. The people of this country now
await with the deepest anxiety the decision of
the administration upon these acts. Having
given it a generous support in the conduct of
the war, we now pause to see what kind of
government it is for which we are asked to pour
out our blood and oar treasures.
6 , The action of the admittieration will de
termine in the minds of more than one-half of
the people of the loyal States, whether this
war is waged is put down rebellion at the
South, or to destroy free iiistitutions at the
North."
The reproaches of this paragraph and its
warnings are deeply significant and earnest.
They come from one who speaks the oracles of
a great State. We have carried heretofore
certain speculations caused by the moving in
cidents of the great crisis now upon us to what
may have been imagined a high pitch of possi
bility. We have done so not from a desire to
alarm or for display ; and it will be seen we
are :,ot alone in our apprehensions, We stea
dily assert, should acts like the outrage upon
Mr. Vallandigham continue to meet the sanc
tion of the men in power, recourse must be
bad hereafter in open resistance or submis
sion—in the precipitation of such calamities
as will rend the country in twain or in the Si
lent reign of an imperious and despotic sway—
the revolution which we had begun in the hon
orable defense of the integrity and unity of
the nation may lead to a dissolution of its
parts and terminate the era of self-govern
ment.
Another Outrage on Free Speech.
The accounts we give from our correspond
ents and the western journals of the scenes
attending the late meeting of the Indiana
Democratic State Convention at Indianapolis
will be read with emotions of profound alarm
and indignation by all fair-minded Republicans
as well as Democrats. The malicious pro
ceedings of Hascall, the military satrap in that
district, were clearly intended to provoke a
collision with a peaceful assemblage Bo as to
give him an excuse for some new outrage, but
his intent was happily thwarted by the forbear
ance of the Democrats in attendance. Hascall
planted cannon in the street and placed sol
diers in the hall to overawe the delegates; he
closed the liquer shops to citizens but left them
open to gangs of drunken soldiers, who were
permitted to go about grossly insulting unof
fending people, so as to create, if possible, a
general row. With rare aelf•oontrol tha Dem
ocrats in attendance bore the insults without
resenting them on the spot. Foiled in thii
attempt, Meet& next resorted to the i ngen i ous
plan of stopping the railroad trains•as the as
semblage was dispersing and robbing the pas
sengers of their pistols. Even this outrage.
failed to bring about the general scene of
massacre he had evidently been instructed to
inaugurate.
It seems almost certain, from the course the
military authorities are pursuing in the West,
that it is their deliberate intention to provoke
an outbreak, so as to give the President an
excuse for declaring martial law and setting
aside the civil power in all the States of the
North. That theory alone will account for
outrages such as those perpetrated by Burn
side and Hascall.— World.

VALLANDIGHAIE SENT SOUTH
NEW YORK, May 26.—The Tribune's Mufreea
boro' dispatch says that Mr. Vallandigham
declared himself to be loyal to the United
States, and that Ms escort were taking him a
prisoner to the Confederate authorities. The
correspondent deems it probable that the ene

to understand by General Rosecrans that should
he arrange to return to our lines, the Presi

effect would be executed.
LATER - VALLAND/GRAM IN THE REBEL LINES.
Loutsvna.r., May 26.—A special to the Jour

says : Vallandigham arrived and was sent to
the rebel lines this morning: The rebel pick

colonel commanding the pickets assented to
his reception, when Vallandigham thus ad
dressed the guards, asking the attention of the
Federal officers : " I am a citizen of Ohio, U.
S. of America, and sent *Rhin your lines
against my will. I hope you will receive me
as your prisoner." He was then promised to
be sent to the rebel authorities at Shellyville
of the earliest convenience,

Chase, nay, not so good, not even as good as
Burnside. The Enquirer has no sympathy with
Vallandigham, and says he ought to be sent
beyqnd our linos.
OUR TROOPS MOVING

AM OF TR POTOMAC.
WASHINGTON, May 26,—Gentlemen arriving
here from the Rappahannock uniformly report
that nothing of importance is transpiring in
the army. Many of the line and staff officers
have gone North, and there is no indication of
any immediate movement. A gentleman re
ports that while a regiment of troops were
being paid off recently a smuggler came into
camp, and found ready sale for his whisky at
three dollars a pint.' The officer in command,
on discovering the illicit trade, confiscated the
prohibited stock on hand, and drove the trader
away. Many of the camps have been changed
to more healthy localities. The wounded are
well cared for, and nothing conducive to their
comfort is withheld. The commissary de
partment must be in good hands, as there are
no complaints of the character and sufficiency
of food.

BY THE MAILS.
NO CONFIRMATION YET.
The latest intelligence we have ,by mail in
relation to the condition of things at Vicks
burg is comprised in the following dispatches
CAIRO, May 25-10 p. m.—No boats from
below had arrivedat Memphis up to 9 o'clock
to-night. All the boats at Milliken's Bend have
been sent up the Yazoo for the purpose, doubt
less, of meeting any possible contingency. It
may, therefore, be twentrfour hours before
we have anything definite.
The last positive dispatches come to-day by
the Polar Star, which left the mouth of the
Yasoo at one o'clock on Thursday. The bat
tle was still raging with the land forces in
the rear ; Porter's mortar boats below and
mortar boats above engaged.
It is believed that a large number of women
and children still remain in Vicksburg.
CmcAoo, May 25, 1863.—A special despatch
from Cairo says
Dates from below to the morning of the 22d
are received. The bombardment of the ene
my's upper works was continued by the mor
tar fleet. Persons who saw the operations
through a glass say they are satisfied that
Grant has captured a battery on Walnut Hill.
A furious cannonading is going on all around.
WASHINGTON, May 25,1863.—Gen. Dix tele
graphed from Fortress Monroe to-night that a
flag of truce boat is expected to-morrow, and
that a deserter who came into Suffolk to-day
from Franklin said that Vicksburg had been
taken. "If so," the General added, "we shall
know to-morrow with certainty. It may be
mere rumor."
The following, procured from a high official
source, is the very latest from Vicksburg, dated
Memphis, 10.80 this morning, and which was
received here to-night:—
The telegram is from Gen. Hurlburt. He en
closes a statement from an ordnance officer,
showing the condition of affairs at 9 o'clock on
Friday night. The city was not at that time
taken. Great advantages, however, had been
gained, the enemy making a firm resistance.
The impression prevailed that we would take
Vicksburg the next day. We at this time com
pletely commanded the town. Our men had
their colors planted on the enemy's works, and
were lying on the extreme slope.
Our captures were about 6,000 prisoners and
74 pieces of artillery, some of whioh had been
destroyed.
The position of our troops was, some within
a mile and others a mile and a half of the
Court House. Gen. Grant is represented to be
in good spirits and confident of more brilliant
results.. It is supposed there are 15,000 rebel
troops at Vicksburg, who will doubtless be
made prisoners in the event of the capture of
the town,
The dispatch further says that the mortar
and gunboats wore in front of Vicksburg, hard
at work.
TILE WAR IN TENNESSEE
CINCINNATI May 25.!--Ferguson's and Chal
mee's guerrillas have - been operating near
Memphis, and, last week, were within a mile
of the city. They captured a few pickets and
mules, and wounded two or three men.
A skirmish took place near Fort Donelson
last week, ins which the rebels were routed.
We brought in seven thousand pounds of bacon
after the affair. Our loss was one lieutenant
and two priiates wounded. AU is quiet in
Murfreesboro' and in Southern Kentucky. No
rebels are north of the Cumberland. Hum
phrey Marshall has been arrested and sent to
Richmond on charges of disloyalty and treason
to the rebel Confederacy. Marshall is said to
be at heart a Union man. If so, he has a
queer way of showing it.
MURFREESBORO', May 254—The indications
are that large bodies of rebel cavalry are going
southward, and that Breckinridge's force has
fallen back, and there are now no rebel troops
between Murfreesboro' and Manchester.
The rebels assert that Grant has been beaten,
but give no particulars.
THE WAR IN KANAWHA COUNTY.
CINCINNATI, May 25.—The Gazette has in
telligence from Charleston, Va., to the effect
that our pickets on the road between Raleigh
and Fayetteville were surrounded and attacked
on the 17th. All but one escaped. Skirmish
ing continued till the 19th, when our pickets
were all driven in. They then attacked our
forces under Col. White. The fight lasted till
the following day. when the enemy fell back.
It is believed to be a feint to cover operations
elsewhere. We had one killed and nine woun
ded. The rebels under the command of Gens.

MASTIC WORKER
PRACTICAL CEMENTER,
Is prepared to Cement the exterior of Buildings with
the New York Improved -
Water-Proof Mastic Cement.
This Material is different from all other Cements.
It forms a solid, durable adhesiveness to any surface,
imperishable by the action of 'water or frost. Every
good building should be coated with this Cement ; it is
a perfect preserver to the walls, and makes a beautiful,
fine finish, equal to Eastern brown sandstone, or any
color desired.
Among others for whom I have applied the Elastic
Cement, I refeer to the following gentlemen :
J. Bissell, residence, Penn street, Pittsburg, finished
five years.
J. H. Shoenberger, residence, Lawrenceville, finished

PARTICULAR NOTICE.
There are many preparations sold Under the name of
Bitters, put up in quart bottles, compounded of the cheap
est whisky or common rum, costing from 20 to 40 cents
per gallon, the taste disguised by Anise or Coriander Seed.
This class of Bitters bag caused, and will continue to
cause, as long as they can be sold, hundreds to die the
death or the drunkard. By their ue the system is kept
continually under the influence of Acaolic Stimulants of
the worst kind, the desire for Liquor is created and kept
up, and the result is all the horrors attendant upon a
drunkard's life and death.
For those who desire and will have a Liquor Bitters, we
publish the following receipt : Get One Bottle Hoojland's
German Batters and mix with Three Quarts of good
Brandt; or Woi ay, and the result will be a preparetkm
that will far excel in medicinal virtue and true excelence
any of the numerous Liquor Bitters in the market, and
will cost much. less. You will have all the virtues of
Hoofland's Bitters in connection w ith a glad &thole of
Liquor at a much lees price thusthese inferior prepara
lions will coat you.

From Bev. J Newton Brown , D. D., Editor of Encyclo-
podia of Religious Kawledge.
Although not disposed to favor or recommend Pat
ent Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingre
dients and effects, I yet know of no sufficient 2015161111
why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple preparation,
in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit
of others.
I do this more readily in regard to "flooffand's German
Bitters," prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city,
because I was prejudiced against them for years under
the impression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mix
ture. lam indebted to my friend, Robert Shoemaker,
Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper teats,
and for encouragement to try them when suffering from
great and long continued debility. The use of three
bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of the present
year, was followed by evident relief and restoration to a
degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had net felt
for six months before, and had almost despaired of re
gaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for di
recting me to the use of them.

be readily cured by Hooflandli German Bitters. We have
no hesitation in stating that if these Bittern were freely
used among our soldiers, hundreds of lives might be saved
