Aralandigham took a prominent part in the Demoeratic Convention bald at Co lumbus, in , liio the other , day. As our readers kno be and his limn , intimat e friend" Pen leton,in their speeches hinted at another civil war, in which Vallan digbatn hophd to be military commandant of Ohio. 'i ' Iti whosel l interest Mr. 1 7 i 'allandigham, would like" tiol bo dictator may be gathered fro the following extracts, from the "Di ary of a Relit War Clerk," recently pnb• lish d, whit shows how lively an interest het ok in th e r success of tbe rebellion,and bow eager 4; , was to give useful hints to Jeff Davis, ;was he was snot south.

II can as yet only conjecture what it referred to.tlt maY be of - good, and it may be of bad import!. It 'May relate to affairs in the West; or it may be a communication from abroad, several steamers having just arrived! Can it be from"thegovernmentat Washington? I care not what it is, if we hold !Vicks burgh." 'On i the 18th of June he writes : "I have good reason to suppose that the package-marked 'important,' &c., sent from the Presidene'sr office yesterday to the Secretary of War, wan the substance of a conversation which 'took place be tweenj.Mr. Ould and Mr. Vallandigham., What Mr. Vallandigbam revealed to Mr. Ould Supposing the latter, although em ployedi here friendly to ultimate recon struction,there is nb means;of conjecturing ,That itj was deemed 'highly important.'" `- And finally, on the 22d lho reveals the mystery "To-day I saw.the' l memorandum of Mr.Ortld of the conversation held with " Mr. V allandinham l for file in the arChives. He says if we can only hold out this year that the peace party of the; .North, would seep the Lincoln dynasty out ofpolitical existence. He seems to have thought that our cause was sinking and feared that u 4 would submit, which would of course be ruinous to his party ! But he advises strongly against any invasion of Pennsylvania, for that would unite all parties at the North, and so strengthen Lincoln's hands that he would be able to crush all opposition,and trample upon the Constitutional rights of the people. Mr Vallandigham- said • nothing. to indicate that he or the party had any ocher idea than the Union would be reconstructed I under 'democratic rule. The Presidentl indorsed, with his own pen, on this docu ment, that in regard to invasion of the Northi experience proved the contrary of what Mr. Vallandigham asserted. But Mr. Vallandigbam is for restoring. the Union,'amicably, of course and if , it can not be ao done, then possibly he 'is in favor O f recognising our independence. He says any reconstruction which is not I voluntarily on our part would soon be followed by another separation, and a worse war than the present one." It Isla pity this traitor is not arrested, tried and punished for his treason. But he serves as useful -a purpose for the country, perhaps, in leadiog democratic meetings, and malcipg democratic plat forms. ! It would seem that a partY which has the slightest particle of 'discretion would carefully expel' such men as Val landigham from its ranks; but in Penn sylvania they have nominated such a man for governor; and all over the country the Seymours, Woods, Vallandighams, add Peodletons tarn upmanagers of dem ocratic conventions.—N. 7. Post, What Ifiester Clymer Declared and Did While lie Occupied a seat in the !State I !Senate. He insisted that .secession was not trcasoml He declared that coercion of armed re bellion was unconstitutional. He 14yled Union soldiers "hounds,'' bull-dogs," hirelings," "minnions," "in- Uendiarl as" and "plunderers." He p edicted and encouraged fire in the rea of Union soldiers. . He .roclaimed, by Triplication, that Jeff. Davis was a parer patriot than Abra ham Lincoln. He discouraged the raising of armies by volunteering. He denounced the # lling,op of our ar mies by conscription. He opposed and execrated every meas ure by which the Unibn was saved. He characterized Abraham Lincoln as a "tyrant," "aserper," "buffoon" and "as sassin."' Ho ridinulod And ow Johnson as a "recreant," "pelf bun t.Tr," "inebriate" and "adventurer." • He opposed the extension of the elec tive franchise to tho Eden in the field per iling thhir Hies in defence of the Union, and when they did vote, he charged that such use of the ballot was illegal and a fraud. He opposed tbe disfranchisement of de serters and struggled with all his legal force to preient the punishment of bounty jumpers. ! He could• see nothing heinous in the murder ,of a drft officer or the pilfering of an enrollment office. He declaredl the war a failure and in sisted that it ought to cease, while he ad vocated the election to the presidency of,a played out military bombast. He rejoiced over rebel and mourned at Union victory. He opposed the establishment of a Na tional ourrenzy. He insisted on Pennsylvania paying her English creditors in gold,when by all the rules of financial business the State could only be asked to pay in currency. The payment in gold cost the Commiri wealth many thousands of dollars,• which Went ati the time to fill the pockets . of Englishmen who were then et:imaged in affording aid and comfort to thl rebels fighting for the destruction of the grov- ernment. These are a few of the distinguishe acts performed by Hiester Clymer while he was a State Senator. He is now a condidate for governor,and was nominated by his party because of his record above given. Will the people Of Pennsylvania endorse a dandidate comirig .before them with, a record like this ? The result of the election in October will be the answer.— Harrisburg Telegraph. TICE WEST AND THE SOUTH.—The merchants of St. Louis give a 'great ban quet to the representatives of the met.- 'chants of Mobile on Monday, May l 21st.

Enquirer learns from its Texas correspondent that the prospect for crops in that State are very fine, -es pecially the wheat crop,which will be the larr , est ever made in that ; State. The government has awarded a con tract for raising the vessels in the river and harbor of Savannah Which were sunk by the rebels to obstruct the channel-- The gunboats and other .vessels were scuttled and sunk at the time the cit 3 was, evacuated. There are in all about twenty some of them valuable,with all their guns and armament on board. The Amador (Cal.) .tcdgc tells the subjoined: "A short time ago a widow lady, residing in a village!not a thousand miles from here, put her lhouse up at - a`' raffle, and very soon dispcised of the tick ets—all feeling disposed to assist her.— The evening arrived-for the raffle to come off, and the house was wen by a gentle: man who thought himself fortunate in obtaining a homeste4d so cheap. The next day he applied for possession and a title to the property. What was his sur prise whe he was coolly informedithat it was unnecessary to give any written- title to the house—that there it was, and to take it ; and the sooner the better,as she was anxious to build another on the spot where it stood. The wihnor dicovered that he had drawn an elephant—he had a house but - no lot." THE INDIANA SOLDIERS.-A grand meeting of Indiana soldieis is contempla ted for the coming Fou'rth of July, at which the interesting ceremony of pre senting to the State all the flags carried by Indiana regiments in the war will take place. A DOG STort . t.—At Newport, R. I. a few does ago, a sOldter from the fort about two-thirds drunk, was playing on the wharf with a large Newfoundland dog, noted for his sagacity and good nature. The animal seemed to like the sport as much as the man, but finally the contest became warm, and the dog rising up6c his hind legs, placed his 'fore paws upon the breast of tie soldier. This threw the man off his balance arid' the two fell into the dock together. , The soldier too much intoxicated to swim; was in danger of drowning,when the i dog seized him,and keeping his bead above water, - paddled off with him to a boat near by, wfien both were rescued. WORMS AT vICK.-Ip Bedford county Tennessee,whole fields of 'corn and cotton have been laid waste by the cut worm, causing hundreds of acres'to be replanted. recently the army worm has made its ap- Ilpearance, and is committing extensive ravages. Many farmers' arc 'becoming thoroughly disheartened.' CASE or CONSCIENCE.—ThirtOIree years ago, Mr. Truman Enos,of Norwich N. Y.; had his pocket picked, in Utica,of $2OO. In 1846, thirteen years after, he received an annonymous letter eontaining $lOO and the knowledge that some time ho would reedy() the ballance. Four weeks ar , o, Mr. E., now in his 78th year, received 150 from the same source. The thief, now thorougly repentant, wishes Mr. E. to forgive him,and the,old gentle. man heartily does so. 'Cases of conscience' have been reported quite extensively at the Areastry headquarters ; but this beats them all says the Bradford Reporter. There is a good story told of Ancona, the Copperhead M.C. from Barks County. On a call of the yeas and nays on the res olation•offered by Mr. Stevens, congratu lating the Emperor of Russia on his recent escape from assassination, Ancona who leads off the vote, supposing that every motion of Mr. Stevens was bound to be opposed, voted No., But ,his fellow Cops. wouldn't follow his lead, and when the call was completed he found he was the only member of the [Loewe in favor of assassination—and for shame's sake asked leave to ohange his vote I Bright member of Congress is "Coony" and no mistake. Law r ie like a sieve; you may see through it but you must be considerably reduced before you can get through it. What we Think of It. 'Last fall Sir MOETON PETO and other British capitalists made a visit to this country for tlie .declared purpose of,in specting railroads in which they were largely interested, and of projecting other roads of formidable magnitude. A blow ing of trumpets went before them,and the acclaim of expectant thousands welcomed them. Soon intimations were dropped that vast enterprises haneen conceived, and would be matured with the utmost celerity. Hard after' it was announced that the Morris and Essex Railroad of New JerseY, and the Readinc , and the Catawisse of Pennsylvania, hair been per manently leased l:),y the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad Company; that - the Catawissa lease had been attended by the transfer of a right held by that Company 1 to use the Philadelphia and Erie Road ; and that unemployed charters had been seoura, by the same'interest, sufficient to make a new trunk line between the East and the West, connecting with both, Philadelphia and 'New York. Not long after it transpired) that:gentlemen of the Atlantic and. Great Western bad made large contractefor coal lands in the dis tricts to be developed 1 by these now themes. I Upon the opening, of the Legislature almost an inconceivable, number. of bills were read in place to incorporate compa nies to construct railroads to intersect either the new trunk line or the lineof the Atlantic and Great Western, or both. The excitement was intense. Cool and sagacious railroad men, out side this particular clique, exchanged sig nificant glances. and shrugged their shohl ders. Their conviction was that the new scheme• was i devised either to enable tire English .holders of Atlantic and Great Western stock and bonds to sell out Ad vantageously, or else to raise such vast sums as would complete the old projeetti while advancing the new ones ; and iso ride over serious diffictilties. [ 1 This much is certajt, that while the British capitalists were engaged in their tour of observation, an unexpected fi re was opened on their rear in Europe. Su ch representations were, made touching the of construction of the''Atlantic and Great Western railroad; its running ex penses; its present and prospective in come; its dependence On the Erie Rau. way Company, 1104 the froskoomperitiOn it was bringing on itself; that plethoric pocket•books that were expected to open .wide, were obstinately closed. A gen tleman, whose- presence Was desired.pt Harrisburg, to harmonize, by wise coun cils and authoritative explanations, rival interests, was reported to have taken his departure suddenly on a pleasure trip to Cuba: Ho was not heard from in )labs; and there are strong suspicions that 'in , stead of going thither he went to London. So much, at least, is seen through the fog and smoke, that the grand project for a new trunk line did not collapse sumg legislators at Harrisburg, but among cap italists abroad.; The cash could not be obtained. Men of money did not 'see why, having invested many millions in roads that were paying none too well, if at all, they should advance as many millions more, to build) a new line which would compete as strongly with their old one 543 with the Penneylvania Central. At this point an injunction was applied for from the 3npreme Chtirt to resttain the Catawissa from assigning its right to use the Philadelphia and Erie to the At lantic and Great Western. By arrange ment, the validity of all the leases were included in the same proceedings. J t hcige Read heard the argument, and granted a temporary - injunction The matter• Will come up, this week, before the full be ch at Wilkesbarre.) In form, the Atla tic and Great Western will doubtless rdsist the granting of a permanent jnjunction • in fact they want to have it granted. We' , so judge— . ' !. 1. • Because they have totally, failed to raise the money needful to prosecute the plan of which the leases were a part, and without which the leases are compare tively valueless. 2. Because the same rulings which will can i cel the leases in this State will prob ably cancel the lease. in' New Jersey. These leases in aniproliable event, were about as foolish 'agreements on, the part of the - Atlautie and Great" Western, as people having a reptitatibn for wisdom in the - conduct of affairs( ever walked into With their eyes wide i l i)peti. 3. Because Sir Mouipzr PaTo, in his late report, made at home, stated that he and his associates were do the best terms with the Pennsylvania Central. 14. Because the Athintic •add Great Western Company have made a proposi tioii to lease, to the extent of their own business, the Philadelphia and Erie Road, which proposition is satisfactory to. the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and-has been sent to London for approval there by parties in interest,' which' it will most likely get.
