Mi. 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

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

Wia i r,i

I th nir our people ought to give him •a

immediately without breaking the seal, as
it is my duty to do to all letters not pri
vate or confidential. 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

'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

for governor; and all over the country

He opposed the extension of the elec

such use of the ballot was illegal and a

He opposed tbe disfranchisement of de

He rejoiced over rebel and mourned at

He opposed the establishment of a Na

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

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

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.
The guests were numerous, and it is ex
pected that the festivities Will be followed
by tangible results.
TIIE TEXAS WHEAT CROP.—The
Richmond (Va.) 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.

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
