THE WAR NEWS.
From the Potomac The 8rmy of Gen.
Hooker has not crossed the Rappahannock, as
stated last week ; the report having arisen

ARREST AND tbIAL OF VALLAKDIGHAM..
On our first page we publish tbe charge up
on which Vallandigham was arrested, togeth
er with the specifications and the prisoners
reply thereto- The bearing took place, be
ginning of last week, lh Cincinnati. There
port of the proceedings is quite volumnious,
and the evidence fully sustained tho several
points contained in the specification. We
shall only make a brief quotation from tbe
testimony of Capt, John A. Means. In an
swer to the question, "Did you bear tbe acus
ed address that meeting V he answered :
t He Vallandigham said, in regard
to the rebuke of the administration at the last
fall election, that no more volunteers could
be had ; that the administration had to resort
to the French conscription act ; that be would
not counsel resistance to the military or civil
law, for that -was not needed; that a people
were unworthy to be freemen who would sub
mit to such encroachments on-their liberties.
Q. What encroachments did he refer to 7
A. He was speaking of the conscription act.
He said that be believed the Administration
was attempting to erect a despotism ; that in
less than one month Lincoln had plunged the
country into this cruel, bloody and unnecessa
ry war. .
Q. Can you recall anything he said in rela
tion to General order No. 38 ? .
A. He said that General order No. 38 was
a usnrpation of power; that be despised it,
spit upon it; trampled it under his feet; that
he, for one, would not regard it. He styled
tbe Administration officers, and officers of the
army, as minions of the administration. He
said he did not ask General Ambrose Burnside
whether he might speak there or not ; that he
was a freeman, and spoke when and where be
pleased. . . . ......
The trial lasted two days and , it is stated
that a majority of the Court sentenced him
to hard labor at the Tortugas, (off the coast
of Flosida ;) but that the minority were in fa
vor of sending him South beyond our milita
ry lines. The President bas changed t he sen
tence from that pronounced by the majority
to that proposed by the minority. In this
commutation of the sentence the President
has given one more evidence of hia wisdom
and kindness. Mr. Vallandigham has shown
ever since the war began that bis heart was
with tbe rebels, so he bas sent bim after it,
with orders to stay there until the war is over.
He has done all he could, in Congress and out
of Congress, to paralyze tbe arm of the Gov
ernment in its war with its traitorous enemies,
and to that extent he had given them aid and
comfort; now they Will have the opportunity
to reward him for his labors. By this admi
rable disposition of this dangerous person the
President has at once put it out ol bis power
to be either a pest or a martyr. . .
THE ORIGINAL COPPERHEAD.
The following extract from Benedict Ar
nold's Proclamation to the citizens and sol
diers of the United States,", issued Oct. 20,
1780, is very much like rainy of the Copper
bead speeches and editorials of the present
day. He talked of the tyranny of the govern
ment; so do they. He was for surrendering
and compromising tbe quarrel; they are for
doing the same thing. ' But Arnold's treason
was nobler ffoan theirs ; for he was for yielding
to a great and powerful nation, which had
some claims upon the fealty of the people;
but these dastards wish to lie down at tbe feet
of traitors who can of right claim nothing but
halters. Black as Arnold's record is, it be
gins to appear less dark when .brought into
contrast with theirs. Here is what be said-
You are promised liberty by the leaders of
your affairs, but is there an individual in the
enjoyment of it, saving your oppressors f
Who am on g you dare speak or write what he
thinks against the tyranny which has robbed
you ol your property, imprisons your sons,
drags you to the field of battle, and is daily delu.
ging your country with your blood 1 -
Your country once was happy, and had the
proffered peace been embraced, the last two
years of misery bad ben Spent in peace and
plenty, and repairing the desolation of a quar
rel that would have Set tbe interests of Great
Britain and America in a true light, and ce
ment their frendship1.
1 will lead a chosen band of Americans to
the attainment of peace, liberty and safety, tbe
first objects in taking the field.
What is America but a land of orphans and
beggars but what need of arguments to snch
as feel infinitely more misery than tongue
can express i I give my promise of most af
fectionate welcome to all who are disposed to
join me in measures necessary to close the
scene of our affliction, which must be increas
ed until we are content with the liberality of
the country who still offers us protection and
perpetual exemption from all taxes but such
as we shall think fit to impose npon our
selves. - Benedict Arnold. 1
JoHs Minor Botts' Slates. A Washington
dispatch says: ' A few days ago a number of
slaves belonging to John Minor Botts came
within our lines at Union Mills. Mr. Botts
requested the commander of the post to return
them to him, as he was a loyal person. Tho
commander immediately telegraphed to Gen.
Heintzelman to know what conrse to pursue.
Col. Lathrob, of the General's staff, replied
that they were free the moment they entered
our lines; and could not be remanded into
slavery. ..

The Quakers held their anual meeting in
Philadelphia last week. There were not as
many in attendance as usual, and tbe spirit of
the proceedings seemed colder. One brother
was reprimanded by the meeting for having
a piano in his bouse, and a correspondent
says that bad he not been a man of wealth
and liberality, would probably have been ex
pelled. He protests against such interference,
and says it is no worse to keep a piano than
to keep horses or pictures. m
Tbe official organ of tbe rebel leaders, tbe
Richmond Enquirer, doubtless expressed its
true sentiments when it said, on receiving in
telligence that Jackson was wounded, that
"his loss would be ill replaced by the accession
of 50,000 veteran troops."
Tuc town of Webber's Falls, Cherokee Na
tion, was burned by oor troops Under Col.

MEETING OF THE 123D REG. PENJTA VOL.
Their Opinion of Gen. Hooker;
From the Harrisburg Telegraph of May 14th.
Immeuiately after the appearance of the Pa
triot and Union, on Tuesday, containing the
foul attack on Gen. Hooker, and after it had
reached Camp Curtin, an immense excitement
was at once created, and it waa only by the
prompt orders of the officers that the men were
restrained from marching to tbe city and Tis
iting vengemceon the traducers of their brave
leader, Gen. Hooker. This morning, after
that sheet bad again appeared, in which it en
deavore'l to crawl out of Its base assaults,' tbe
indignation of tbeArave fellows was turned to
scorn, and they resolved at once to call a meet
ing, in which to express their contempt for
those guilty, first, of falsehood and afterwards
of cowardice to escape tbe resentiment which
their libels on the most exalted valor have ex
cited in tbe hearts of the brave men who have
just returned to this city from tbe bloody fields
of Virginia. ... , . . - , -(
Corporal Harper, Co. G, of 123d, called the
meeting to order, by noiuinatirg Lieut. Bart
ley as chairman.
Private Alexander Dempster, of Co. G, was
appointed Secretary. He laid before the meet
ing the article in Saturday's and Tuesday's
Patriot and Union., In the edition of Satur
day Gen. Hooker is charged with being "a
braggart, a boaster and no General ;" while in
that of Tuesday last bo is placed in the light
of "a drunkard in whom the army has no con
fidence." . ,
After which the following preamble and res
olutions were read to the regiment and enthu
siastically adopted:.
Whereas, On yesterday there appeared in
the columns of the 'Copperhead Organ," the
Patriot and Union, an assertion purporting,
"to have been received from reliable sources,
that Hooker on the Sunday of the battle was
beastly drunk," &c ; And whereas, We, the
members of the 123d Penna Vol., having been
in a position to behold the conduct of oor com
mander on that day, which will'be chronicled
in the calander of our country 's history of tbe
present war as a great and noble one, and one
characteristic of great events, and which will
be proudly remembered by every soldier of
the army and every true Araericau, and there
fore competent witnesses in the matter, whose
united testimony will certainly be favorably
received for its veracity; And whereas, We de
sire to express the truth for tbe information of
all true men, as well as traitors, we do adopt
the following resolutions, hoping tbey may
have their desired effect of setting forth the
matter in its true light ; -. :
, First. That the assertion of tbe Patriot and
Union is an unqualified falsehood, and a reproach
thrown at the fair fame of our beloved General,
acquired on many a hard fought field, and not
to be passed over in silence by those who have
the power to contradict such treasonable ema
nations from the contaminated fountain of
treason.- '. '.'"'
Second. That the propagators of any such
falsehoods are traitors, "ten fold more tho sons
of treason" than those who have constituted
the rebel ranks, more coirardty and more detes
table, and should be treated with more con
dign contempt ; and punishment,' in accor
dance with their infamy, should be meted out
by all loyal citizens, and they are liars and tbe
truth is not in them.
Third. That as soldiers and country loving
citizens, who have fought under Geu. Hooker
and formed a unit in the so-called retreat,
prompted by the conviction awakened by ex
perience and observation we are led to express
our unbounded confidence in the generalship
oi our gallant commander to tbe country and
to resent all attempts to tarnish the character
of our leaders and thereby injure tbe interests
of our country.
Fourth. That if such nauseous strain of trea
son be emanated by any editor, more tangible
means will be nsed for their suppression ; for
we will not allow our noble brethren in the field,
who are suffering all the privations incident
to tbe soldier's life, to be fired upon in the
rear by a set ot Davis' sycophants and detesta
ble cowards at home, woo have not tbe cour
age of a Virginia tadpole.
Fifth, That we appeal to the true loyal cit
izens'of tbe capital of the glorious old Key
stone, not to allow the publication of any
such treasonable documents; and that al
though we have left tbe field we are still sol
diers, able aud willing to fight traitors if they
do show tbe menacing front of copperheads.
Resolved, That these proceedings be publish
ed in tbe Evening Telegraph and in the loy
al newspaper s of Pittsburg.
The spirit which pervaded the meettng is
described as being one of the most intense ha
tred for everything and everybody not uncon
ditionally devoted to the cause of the country.
Tbe men were full of resentful feeling towards
tbe editors of the Patriot and Union, and on
ly wanted a signal to teach those bold tradu
cers of their gallant leader, Joe Hooker, a les
son at once terrible and awfnl.
Startling ! bot true. The Volunteers a re
braving the danger of Fever, Scurvy, Wounds
and Cholera. .. Many a gallant fellow will leave
his bones to bleach, who by the aid of Hollo
way's pills and ointment, would have return

; At tbe last Court of (Queen's Beucb held
at Chatham, Upper Canada, two of the Jury
men refused to act as jurors, and left the jury
box, Because a colored man bad been chosen
to act as a juryman. Tbe Hon. Judge Rich,

c hoeeto to act in their place.
A perfect acorn was recently found embed
