I columns with frightful result, yet they diidt FIIE LIST OP LETTERS lining In the Bxlllmore Fostofflce. DAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1863. PRICE ONE which, is to destroy the national Union; and. that, in your opinion, an army arrd navy are constitutional means for suppressing that rebellion. 2.

That no one of you will do anything which in his own judgment will tend to hinder the increase or favor the decrease, or lessen the. efficiency of the army and navy, while engaged in the effort to suppress the rrbellion; and "3. That each of yon will, in his sphere, do all he can to have the officers, soldiers, and seamen of the army and navy engaged in the effort to suppress the rebellion, paid, fed, clad, and otherwise well provided for and And with the further understanding that upon receiving the letter and names thus endorsed, I will cause them to be published, which publication shall be, within itself, a revocation of the order in relation to Air. Yallandigbam. It will not escape observation that I consent to the release of Mr.

Yallfindigham npan terms not embracing any pledge from him or from others as to what he will or will not do. I do this because he is not present to speak for himself, cr to authorize others to speak for him: and hence, I shall expect.that on re not granted. And if existing legislation be inadequate, it is the duty of Congress to consider what further legislation is necessary, and to make suitable provision by law. You claim that the military arrests made by your administration are merely preventive remedies, "as injunctions to stay injury, or proceedings to keep the peace, and not for. punishment." The ordinary preventive remedies alluded to are authorized by established law, but the preventive proceedings you institute have their authority merely in the will of the Executive or that of officers subordinate to his authority.

And in this proceeding a discretion seems to be exercised as to whether the prisoner shall be allowed a trial or even be permitted to know the nature of the complaint alleged against him, or the name of his accuser. If the proceedings be merely preventive, why not allow the prisoner the benefit of a bond to keep the peace? Bnt if no offense has been committed, why was JVir. Vallandigham tried, convicted and sentenced by a court-martial! And why the actual punishment by imprisonment or banishment, without the opportunity of obtaining his liberty in the mode usual in preventive remedies, and yet say it is not for punishment? You still place Mr. Vallandigham's conviction and banishment upon the ground that be had damaged the military service by discouraging enlistments and encouraging desertions, and yet you have not even pretended to controvert our position that he was not charged with, tried or convicted for any such offense before the court martial. In answer to our position that Mr.

Vallandigham was entitled to a trial in the civil tribunals, by virtue of the-late acts of Congress, you say: "I certainly do not know that Mr. Vallandigham' has specifically and by direct language advised against enlistments ond. in favor of desertions and resistance to drafting," and yet, in a subsequent part of your answer, af-. ter speaking of certain disturbances which aie alleged to have occurred in resistance of the arrest of deserters, and of the enrollment preparatory to which you attribute mainly to the course Mr. Vallandigham has pursued, you say that he has made, speeches against the war in the midst of resistance to it, that "he has never been known, in any instance, to counsel against such resistance," and that "t'f is next to impossible to repel the inference thai he has counseled directly in favor of it." Permit us to say that your information is most grievously at fault.

The uod waver, aua unvuu wets in tnis way evenly contested for a time, but at a moment when it seemed problematical which aids would gain th victory, a -reinforcement ar-. rived and were formed in line at such apo- sition as to enfilade the enemy and teach hun, at last the futility of his efforts- Disordered, ed.ai!d confused, his whole force t1J c2clt the battle ceased and th'. ih eth tnsued- This silence con-- At this moment the, rebel artillery from all points, in a circle rad-. lating around our own, began a terrific and oncentratedTflre on. whic was as I have previously stated by th Eleventh andSecond Corps.

ta The flock of pigeons, which not ten minntee previous had darkened the sky above, were scarcelythickerthan the flock of horrible mis siles that now, instead of sailing harmlessly '-above, descended upon our position. The atmosphere was thick with shot and shell. Th Etorm broke upon nsso suddenly that soldiers and officers who leaped, as it began, from their tents, or from lazy siestas on th grass were stricken in their rising with mortal wounds and died, some with, cigars between their teeth, some with pieces of food in their fingers, and one at, least a pal young German, from Pennsylvania with a. miniature of his sister in his hand, that seemed mere meet to grasp an artist's pencil than a musket. Horses fell, shrieking kucb.

awful cries as Cooper told of, and writhing themselves about in hopeless agony. The beards of fences, scattered by explosion, flew in splinters through the air. The torn up in clouds, blinded the eyes of hurrying men; and through the branches of the trees and among the grave-stones of the cemetery a shower of destruction crashed ceaselessly. As, with -hundreds of others, I groped through this tempest, of death for the shelter of the bluff, an old man, a private in a com1 pany belonging to the 21th Michigan, was struck, scarcely ten feet away, by a cannoa ball, which tore through him, extorting suck a low, intense cry of mortal pain as, I pray Gcd, I may never again hear. The hill, which seemed alone devoted to this rain of death, was clear in nearly all its unsheltered, places within.

five mi mi ta after tha are began. Out batteries responded Three hours of cannonading ensued, exceeding in fierceness any ever known. Probably three hundred cannon were fired simultaneously until 4 o'clock, when the rebel infantry were again seen masssing in the woods front ing our centre, formed by the First and See-end corps. Gen. Doubleday's troops met this charge with the same heroic courage that had so often repelled the enemy in his desperate attempts.

The charge was made spiritedly, bnt less venomously than before. General Webb, commanding the Second brigade, Second division of the Second corps, met the stern fury of the attack with a stea- dy fire that served to retard the enemy's advance for a moment. That moment was oc- cupied by the rebel General Armistead in. steadying his troops behind the fence. Gen.

Webb immediately ordered a charge whieh was made in such eagerness and swiftness, and supported by such numbers of our' troops, as enabled us to partially surround the enemy, and capture General Armistead. and three thousand of his men. The carnage which accompanied this charge and th terror inspired by it were so great as to rei -duce numbers of the foe to actual cowardice. They fell upon their knees and faces, holding forward their guns and begging for mercy, while their escaped comrades, panic-stricken and utteily routed, rushed down across the ditches and fences through tha fields and through Gettysburg. Not a column remained to make another start.

XVII. To tie Editors of The Sun. It is scarcely necessary to say that Consumption is caused by the presence of tubercles in the-lungs. 5Ianj- persona speak of 'a tubercle on the as though they supposed it to be a great botlor carbuncle, while others say that it resembles uSalt Bheum on the handi." -These are the conceptions of ignorance. Tubercles look like lniups of cheese scattered through the diseased lung, and when pressed between the fixgers break down in the same manner.

The seltenicg of this cheesy tubercular matter, mingled with pus formed by the destruction of the coats of the. air tabes and cells, makes up the expectoration of the last stage. You -will now see why Consumption can never be enred by pouring medicines into the stomach. The tubercles, whichcause all the injury, are in the air-tubes and air-cells of the In tigs, and can only be reached by iahaling. Ky reducing medicines to breath' ijif them, we ar able to cleanse th9 ulcers, aid cause them to heal, just as we cleanse and heal ulcers on the surlace of the body.

If treated before the tubercles have begun to soften, we can general' canse them to be absorbed, and thus remove the evil before the lungs have become broken down. The safety of the patient depends on prompt and persevering treatment; for, so long as the tubercles remain, his life hangs by a cord whichis daily becoming weakened. Bat even after a considerable cavity is formed, the patient should not despair of recovery. -We maystill hope to heal the cavity, filany patients in this city have recovered from this condition, and are bow in the enjoyment of health, with a large healed cavity in one lung, into which yon can hear the air enter, at every inspiration, with that peculiar sound which we produce on blowing into the mouth of an empty bottle. It is common for poets and novelists to describe Consumption as a disease of little suffering.

They paint the victim of it as slowly fading away, placid in. mind, without pain of body, and in the fullest and keenest enjoyment of every sense and faculty. Like a withering flower gliding gently down to the grave, diffusing around her as she fades an atmosphere of iucreasiap: sweetness. But alas! poetry is tot true to life hero. Taere are few diseases more to be dreaded for the sufferings they occasion.

In its commencement Consumption is stealthy. It comes on-without any warning of its approach, and is generally firmly seated before it is detected at all. Thns far the descriptions of fancy are correct, but now: comes a tram of complicated miseries which try the strongest fortitude. The chills dnring the morning are followed by a consuming fever in the afternoon, and this again by exhausting perspirations at night. Sleep is broken by cough, and the day harassed by efforts to expectorate.

The breath up" by pains, and no sooner are these subsided than diarrhea seizes upon the bowels. Day by day the oppression on the chest increases. The heart palpitates and labors to force the thick and impure blood' through the obstructed in rigs. The appetite becomes ca-Tricious. the limbs wasted, and the whole bddv enfeebled.

But a terror more formidable than all is the steadily-increasing and ever-present sense of impending suffoiation. As the air cells and tuoes become filled up by tho extension of the disease, the space for the breath grows less and less, until at last the poor snfierer dies gasping for air! And there is nothing to console the consumptive in the usual treatment of this disease. Kerne dy after remedy fails to afford even relieL Change of climate only increases his hardship, and in too many instances hastens ihe fatal issue. The past presents a bleak and dreary prospect, and the experience of the present if we except the bright premise of inhaiatien-no hope for the future. Such is the stern reality of this terrible disease, divested of all fancy.

VALLANDiGHAM. Ileply of tlie President lo tlte Ohio Committee. Washington, D. June 29. 1833.

Gentlemen; The resolutions of the Ohio Democratic State Convention, which yon present me.together with your introductory and closing remarks, being in position and argument mainly the same as the resol ntions of the democratic meeting at Albauy, N. I refer you to my response to the latter as meeting most of the points in the former. This re spouse you evidently used in preparing your remarks, and I desire no more than that it be used with accuracy. In a single reading of your remarks, I only discovered one inaccuracy in matier.whieh I suppose you took' that paper. It is where you say, un dc-rsigned are unable to agree with, you in the opinion you have expressed that the constitution is different in time cf or invasion lrom what it is in time of peace and public security." A recurrence to the paper will show you that I have not expressed the opinion you suppose.

I expressed the opinion that the constitution is different in its application in cases of rebellion or invasion, involving the public safety, from what it is iu Umes of pro found reace and public security; and this opinion I adhere to, simply because by- the constitution itself, things may be done in the one case which may not be dona in the other. I dislike to waste a word on a merely personal point, but I must respectfully assure you that you will find yourselves at fault should you ever seek for evidence to prove your assumption that I "opposed in discussions before the people the policy of the Mexican war' You say: "Expunge from the constitution this limitation upon the power of Congress to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, and the other guarantees personal liberty would remain unchanged." Doubtless, if this clause of the constitution, improperly called, as I think, a limitatien upon the power of Congress, were expunged, the other guarantees would remain the same; but the question is, not how those guarantees would stand with that clause out of the constitution, bnt how they stand with that clause remaining in it, in cases of rebellion or invasion, involving the public safety. If the liberty could be indulged of expunging that clause, letter and spirit, I really think the constitutional argument would be with yoa. My general view on this question was stated in the Albany response, and hence do not state it now. I only add that, as seems to me, the benefit of the writ of habeascorpus is the great means through which the guarantees of personal liberty are conserved and made available in the last resort; and corroborative of this view is the fact that Sir.

Yallaudig-ham, in the very case in question, under the advice of able la no wnere else to go but to the habeas corpus. Bat by the constitution itself the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus itself may be suspended, when in cases cf rebellion and invasion the public safety may require it. You ask, in substance, whether I really claim that I may override all the guaranteed rights of individuals, on the plea of conserving the public safety when I may choose to say the public safety requires. This question, divested of the phraseology calculated to represent me as struggling for an arbitrary personal prerogative, is either simply a question who shill decide, or an affirmation that nobody shall decide- what the public safety does require in cases of rebellion or invasion. The constitution contemplates the question as likely to occur for decision, but it does not expressly declare who is to decide it.

By necessary implication, when rebellion or invasion comes, the decision is to be made, from tiine to time; and I think the man whom, for the time, the people have, under the consti-ticn, made the commander in-chief of their army and navy, is the man who holds the power and bears the responsibility of making it. If he uses the power justly, the same people will probably justify him; if he abases it, he is in thrir hands, to be dealt with by all the modes they have reserved to them-, selves in the constitution. The earnestness with which you insist that persons can only, in times of rebellion, be lawfully dealt with, in accordance with the rnles for criminal trials and punishments in times of peace, induces me to add a word to what I said on that point in tha Albany response. Yon claim that men ma'y, if they choose, embarrass those whose dnty it is to rnfnbat a aiant 1 cbollloil h-n be dealt with only in turn as if there were no reoei-lion. The constitution itself rejects thi3 view.

The military arrests and detentions which have teen made, including those of Mr. Yallandigbam, which are not differeat in principle from the ether, have been for prevention, and not lor punishment as injunctions to stay injury as proceedings to keep the peace and hence, like proceedings in such casts and for like reasons, they have not been accompanied with indictments, or trials by juries, nor, in a single case, by any punishment whatever beyond what is pure-lv incidental to the prevention. The original sMitfuce of imprisonment ia Mr. Yallandig-ham'j case was to prevent injury to the military service only, and the modification of it made as a less disagreeable mode to him of securing the same prevention. I am unable to perceive an insult to Ohio in the case of Mr.

Vallandigham. Quite snrely nothing of this sort was or is intended. I wai" wholly unaware that Mr. Yaltandig-ham was, at the time of his arrest, a candidate for the democratic nomination for Governor, until so informed by your reading to me the resolutions of the convention. I am grateful to the State of Ohio for many things, especially for the brave soldiers and officers she has given in the present national trial to tte armies of the Union.

You claim, as I understand, that according to my own position in the Albany response, iVlr. Yallandigham should be released; and this because, as you claim, be has not damaged the military service by discouraging enlistments, enccuragisg desertions, or oth erwise; ana that if he had, he snouia nave been turned over to the civil authorities under the recent acts of Congress. I certainly do not Incut that Mr. Vallandigham has spe- cincany, and by direct language, advised against enlistments, and in favor of desertion and resistance to drafting. We all know that combinations, armed in some instances, to resist the arrest of deserters began several months ago; that more recently the like has appeared in resistance to the enrollment preparatory to a draft: and that quite a number of assassinations have occurred from the same animus.

These had to be met by military force, and this again has led to bloodshed and death. And now, under a sense ot responsibility more weighty and enduring than any which is merely official, I solemnly declare my belief that this hindrance, of the military, including maiming and murder, is due to the course in which Mr. Vallandigham has been engaged, in a greater degree than to any other cause; and it is due to him personally in a greater degree than to any other one man. These thing3 have been notorious, known to all, and of course known to Mr. Vallandigham.

Perhaps I would not be wrong to say they originated with his especial friends and adherents. With perfect knowledge of them he has frequently, if not constantly, made speeches in Congress and before popular assemblies, and if it can be shown that, with these things staring him in the face, he has ever uttered a word of rebuke or counsel against them, it will be a fact greatly in his favor with me, and one of which, as yet, i am totally ignorant, wnen it is known that the whole burden of his speeches has been to stir np men against the prosecution of the war, and that in the midst of resistance to it he has not been known in any instance to counsel against such resistance, it is next to impossible to repel the inference that he has directly in favor or it. With all thi3 before their eyes, the convention you represent have nominated Mr. Vallandigham for Governor of Ohio, and both they and you have declared the purpose to sustain the National Union by all constitutional means. But.

of course, they, and you, in common, reserve to yourselves to decide hat are constitutional means, and, unlike the Albany meeting, you omit to state or intimate that, in your opinion, an army is a constitutional means of saving the Union against a rebellion, or even to intimate that von are conscious of an existing rebellion being in progress with the avowed object of destroy in cr that verv unioa. At tne same time, vour nominee for Governor, in whose behalf you appeal, is known to you and to the world to declare against the use of an army to suppress the rebellion. Your own attitude, therefore, encourages desertion, resistance to the draft, and the like, because it teaches those who incline to desert and to escape the draft, to believe it is yoitr purpose to protect them, anu to hope that you win become strong enough to do so. After a nersonal intercourse with you gentlemen of the committee, I cannot say I think 3-ou desire this effect to follow your attitude; "but I assure you that both friends ana enemies ot the Union Iook upon it in this light. It is a substantial hope, and by consequence, a real strength to the enemy It is a false hope, and one which you would willingly dispel.

We find in our exchanges, in addition to the telegraph dispatches published in another column, many accounts and rumors in relation to the late battle of Gettysburg, and the subsequent pursuit of the Confederates. The accounts, however, are very contradictory. According to the Philadelphia papers it was a Confederate general named Longs-worth, and not Longstreet, who was killed.

The latter officer is declared to have lost in killed, wounded and missing, about 6,000 men. The New Yoik Herald claims to have reliable information that Gen. Ewell diad on Monday, at the residence of Sterling Gait, two miles northeast of Fancy town, from wounds received at Gettysburg. The loss of the Second Army Corps is put down at The 17th United States Infantry, it is stated, lost fifteen officers, and the Fourth Michigan Regiment, on Friday only mustered 30 officers and men. Many of the misting-, howovr, are all ve, ba.vine been taken prisoners.

We take the following from a letter in the New York The Sisters of Charity turned out at Get tysburg, on Saturday, and proceeded to the various hospitals to relieve the sick and wounded. They were accompanied by the Key. Father of their church. the moonlit battle-field the hospitals.

In the evening of Friday, after the moon bad risen, I looked over the battle-field. It was the old sad sight of other battlefields men mangled and bloody and torn; bodies without Heads ana neaas witnout brains; trunks limbless, here an arm obstructing one's pathway, there a leg visible in the dry fissure, of a rock; some long since dead, some dying! Here on the battle field one sees the dretd realities of war. I have seen in the past two years thirteen battles. I forget the details or the lights, i. never lorget the horrors of the battle field.

The hospitals were scattered about miscel laneously, in houses, in the most available places that could be found sheltered from shells and the sunshine. Dr. Milhau, medical director of the corps, aided by Dr Russell, inspecting surgeon, and Drs. Shippen and Webb, division surgeons, made the best arrangements they ould for the comfort of the wounded. Regimental sur geons of course lent a hand in the wound dressing ard amputations.

A view of the fight. From Hock Hill the battle could be seen in all its fierce fury. Soon the infantry of the other corps were engaged, lonowed Dy the rnemv being repulsed at every point. Our men fought splendidly. The enemy made charge after charge with wild and dashing impetuosity, but only to fall back each time with overwhelming loss.

It was intensely hot when the attack began and for two hours after. A thunder shower cooled the atmosphere, but not the ardor of our troops, or the savage ferocity of the unyielding foe. A THRILLING- ACCOUNT OF THtTRSDAV FIGHT. A correspondent of the World thus de scribes the fight on Thursday evening: About 6 o'clock P. silence, deep, awful ly impressive, but momentary, was permitted as if by magic to dwell upon the field.

OBiy the grcansunheard before of the wound ed and dying, only tne raurmer a morning memory of the breeze through the foliage, only the low rattle of preparation for what was to come, embroidered this blank still ness, lhen, as tne smoKe beyond the village was lightly borne to the fast ward, the'woods on the lelt'were seen filled with dark masses cf infantry, three columns deep.who advanced at a quickstep. Magnificent! Such a charge by such a force full 45,000 men, un der iiill and Liongstreet even though it threatened to pierce and annihilate the Third corps, against which it was directed, drew lonh cries of admiration irom an wno De-held it. Gen. Sickles and his splendid command withstood the shock with a determination that checked, but could not fully re strain it. liack, inch by incn, ngntingiail- ing, aymg, tne men retired.

The battle then grew Standing firmly up against the storm, cur troops, though still outnumbered, gave back shot for shot, volley for volley, almost death for death. Still the enemy was not restrained. Down he came upon our left with a momentum that nothing could check.

The rifled guns that lay before our infantry on a knoll were in danger of cap ture. General HancocK was wounded in the thigh; General Gibbon in the shoulder. The i inn corns, as the First ana second, waver ed anew, went into the breach with such tbouts and such volleys as made the rebel column tremble at last. Up from the vallev behind another battery came rolling to the heights and flung its contents in an instant down in the midst of the enemy's ranks. Crash! Crash! with discharges deafening, terrible, the musketry firing went on; the enemv reiorming alter eacn discharge with wonderous celerity and firmness, still press ed np tne aeciiviiy.

wnat hideous carnage nuea tne minutes between the appearance of the Fifth corps and the advance to the snppert of the rebel columns of still another column from the right, I cannot bear to tell. Men fell as the leaves fall in autumn before those horrible discharges. Faltering for an instant, the re bel columns seemed about to recede Deiore the tempest. But their could be seen through the smoke of the conflict gal loping and swinging their swords along tne lines, rallied them anew, and the next instant the whole line sp-ang forward as if to break through our own by mere weight of numbers. A division from the Twefth corps on the extremerightreached thescene atthis instant, and at the same time beagwicK came up with the Sixth corps, having finished a march of nearly thirty-six consecutive hours.

To what rescue they came, their officers saw and told them. Weary as they were, bare-footed, hungry, fit- to drop for slumber as they were, the wish for victory was so blended witn tne tnougnt or exnaus-ticn' that they cast themselves in turn en masse into line of battle, and went down on the enemy with death in their weapons and cheers on their lips. The rebel earners back was broken Dy this "feather." His line staggered, reeled, and drifted slowlv back, while the shouts of our soldiers lifted up amid the roar- oi musketry over the bodies of the dead and wounded, proclaimed tne completeness oi their victory. Meanwhile, as the division of Slocnm's corps, on the extreme right, left its post to in this triumph, another column of the enemy, under command of General Ewell, had dashed savagely against our weakened right wing, and as the failure to tnrn our left became Known iteemea as if determination to conquer in this part of the field overcame alike the enemy's fear of death and his plans for victory elsewhere. The right was temnc, ana ior niteen min utes the attack to which the three divisions of the Twelfth corps were subjected was more furious than anything ever known in the history of this armv.

The Sixth corps went to their support, the First corns followed, and from dusk into darkness, until half-past 9 o'clock, the battle raced with varied iortune ana unaoaieu fnrv. Onr trooos were compelled by over powering numbers to fall back a short dis tance, UDanooning several nue-piis auu au. advantageous position to the euemy, who, hau ffhtv over his advantage and made deS' per ate by defeat in other quarters, then made a last strusreline charge against that divi sion nf anr rieht wing commanded by Gen.

But I do it chiefly because I there by prevail on other influential gentlemen of Ohio to so define their position as to be of im-me-nse value to the army thus more than compensating for the consequences of any mistake in allowing Mr. Vallandigham to return, so that, on the whole, the pnblic safety will not have suffered by it. Still, in regard to Mr.

Vallandigham and all others, I must hereafter, as heretofore, do so much as the public service may seem to require. I have the honor to be respectfully, yours, A. Lincoln. Tlie Committee's Rejoinder. New York, Jury 1, 13S3.

To His Excellency the President of the United States. Sir: Your answer to the application cf the undersigned for a revocation of the order of banishment of Clement L. Vallan digham requires a reply, which they proceed with as little delay as practicable to make. They are not able to appreciate-the force of the distinction you make between the constitution and ihe application of the constitu tion, whereby yon assume that powers are delegated to "the President at the time of invasion or insurrection, in derogation of the. plain language ot the constitution.

The inherent provisions of the constitution remain ing the same ia time of insurrection or invasion as in time of peace, the President can have no more right to disregard their posi tive and imperative requirements at the former time than at the latter. Because some things may be done by the terms of the constitution at the time of invasion or insurrection which would not be required by the 1 occasion in time ot peace, you assume that anything whatever, even though not expressed by the constitution, may be done on the occasion of insurrection or invasion, which the President may choose to say is required by the publio safety. In plainer terms, because the writ of habeas corpus may be suspended at time of invasion or insurrection, you infer that all otner provisions ot tne constitution having in view tne protection oi tne me, lib erty and property of the citizen, may be in like manner suspended. The provision relating to the writ of ha beas corpus, being contained in the first part cf the constitution, thepurpose of which is to define the powers delegated to Congress, has no connection in language with the declaration of rights, as guarantees of personal liberty, contained in the additional and amenda tory articles, acd inasmuch as the provision relating to habeas corpus expressly provides for its suspension, and the other provisions alluded to do not provide for any such thing, tne legal conclusion is tnat tne suspension of the latter is unauthorized. The provision for the writ of habeas corpus is merely in tended to furnish a summary remedy, and not the means whereby personal security is conserved, in the final resort; while the other provisions are guarantees of personal rights- tne suspension or wnien puts an end to ail preten.se of free government.

It is true Mr. Vallandigham applied for a writ of habeas corpus as a summary remedy against oppres sion. Hut the denial ot this did not taite away his right to a speedy publio trial by an impartial jury, or deprive him 01 his other rights as an American citizen. Your assumption cf the right to suspend all the constitutional guarantee or peiaonAl i tvtn. of the freedom of speech and of the press, because the summary remedy of ha beas corpus may be suspended, is at once startling and alarming to all persons desirous of preserving free government in this country.

lrie inquiry of the unoersignea, wnetner 'you hold that the rights of every man hronghout this vast country, in time of in vasion or insurrection, are subject to be an- nitca wnenever you may say tnat you consider the public safety requires it!" was a plain (ju-stion, undisguised by circumlocution, and intended simply to elicit information. Y3ur affirmative answer to this question throws a shade upon the fondest anticipations of the framers of the constitution, who flattered themselves that they had provided safeguards against the dangers which have ever beset and overthrown free government in other ages and countries. Your answer is not to be disguised by the phraseology that the question "is simply a question who shall decide, or an affirmation that nobody shall decide what tho public safety does require in cases of rebellion or invasion." Our government was designed to be a government of law, settled and defined, and not of the arbitrary will of a single man. As a safeguard, the powers were delegated to the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the gev-eminent, and each made co-ordinate with the others, and supreme within its sphere, and thus a mutual check upon each other in case of abuse ol power. It has been the boast of the American peo ple that they had a vjrittea constitution, not only expressly dejimng, but also limiting the powers of the government, and providing effectual safeguards for personal liberty, security and property.

And to make the matter more positive and explicit.it was provided by the amendatory articles, nine and ten, that, "the enumeration in the constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, and that "ths powers not delegated the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people." With this care and precaution on the part of our forefath ers, wno irarcea our institutions, it was not to be expected that, at so early a day as this, a claim cf the President to arbitrary power, limited only by his conception of the require ments of the public satety, would nave asserted. In derogation of the constitution al provisions making the President strictly an executive officer, and vesting all the delegated legislative power in Congress, yoar position, as we understand it, would makeyaur will the rule of action and your declarations of the requirements or tne public saiety tneiaw of the land. Our inquiry was not.therefore, 'simply a question who shall decide, or the affirmation that nobody shall the public safety requires." Our government is a government of law, and it is the law-making power which ascertains what ths.public safe ty requires, and prescribes tne vtiie oi action; and the duty of the President is simply to execute the laws thus enacted, and not to make or annul laws. If any exigency shall arise, theJPresldent has the power to convene Congress at any time, to provide for it; so that the plea of necessity furnishes no reasonable pretext for any assumption of legislative power. For a moment contemplate the consequences of such a claim to power- Net only wou Id the dominion of the President be absolute over the rights of individuals, but equally so over the other departments of the government.

If he should claim that the public safety reauired itt he could arrest and im prison a judge for the conscientious discharge of his duties, iiaralvze the iudicial power, or supersede it by the substitution of courts-martial, snbiect to his own tww.tnrougii out the whole country. If any one of the States, even far removed from the rebellion, should not sustain his plan for prosecu ting the war, he could, on the plea of public safety, annul and set at defiance the State laws and authorities, arrest and imprison the Governor of the State or the members of the Legislature, while in the faithful dis- cbaree of their duties, or he could absolute ly control the action, either of Congress or of the Supreme Court, by arresting and im prisoning its members, and upon the same eround he could suspend the elective fran chise, postpone the elections, and declare the perpetuity of his high prerogative. And neither the power of impeachment, nor the elections of the people could be made availa ble against such concentration oi power. Surely it is not necessary to subvert free government in this country in order to put down the rebellion: and it cannot be done der he pretence of putting down th rebellion, Indeed, it is plain that your administration has been weakened, and ereatly" weakened, by the assumption of power not delegated in tne constitution In your answer you say to us "you claim that men may, if they choose, embarrass those whose dutv it is to combat a eiant re bellion and then be dealt with, in terms as if there were no rebellion." You will find vonrself in fanlt If too will search our com' -munication to you, for any such idea. The i undersigned believe the constitution and laws of the land, prooerlv administered furnish ample power to nut down, an insur 'rectiop, tk9 assumption oi powers undersigned nave been in tne habit oi hearing Mr.

Vallandigham speak before popu lar assemblages, and they appeal with confidence to every truthful person who has ever heard him lor tne accuracy or the declaration that he has never made speech before. the people of Ohio in which he has not counseled submission and obedience to the laws and the constitution, and advised the peaceful remedies of the judicial tribunals ana or tne ballot-box lortne rearess or grievances, and for the evils which afflict our bleeding and suffering country. And, were it not foreign to the purposes of this communication, we wrould undertake to establish, to the satisfaction of any candid person, that the disturbances among the people, to which you allude, in opposition to the arrest of deserters and the draft.have been occasioned mainly by the measures, policy, and conduct of your administration, and the course of its political friends. But if the circumstan tial evidence exists, to which you allude, which makes "it next to impossible to repel the inference that Mr. Vallandigham has counseled directly in favor" of this resistance, and that the same has been mainly attributable to his conduct, why was he not turned over to the civil authorities to be tried under the late acts of Congress? If there be any foundation in fact for your statements implicating him in resistance to the constituted authorities, he is liable to such prosecution.

And we now demand, as aroere act ol justice to him, an investigation of this matter, before a jury of his country; and respectfully insist that fairness requires either that you retract these charges which you make sgainst-hirn, or that you revoke your order of banishment and allow him the opportunity of an investigation before an impartial jury. ihe committee do rot deem it necessary to repel at length the imputation that the attitude of themselves or of the democratic party in Ohio "encourage desertions, resistance to the draft, and the like Suggestions of that kind are not unusual weapons in our ordinary political contests. They rise readily ia tee mines of politicians heated with the ex citement of partisan, strife. Darin? the two years in wnicn tne aemocratic party ui uuiu has been constrained to oppose the policy of the administration, and to stand up in de fense ot the constitution and oi personal rig htst b.is charge has been repeatedly made. It has ftillen harmless, however, at the feet of these trh; it was intended to injure, liie committee believe it will do so again.

If it w-ere proper to do so in this paper, they might suggest that the measures of the ad-miniitration, and its changesf policy in the profrcuticn ot the war, have been the fruit ful sources of discouraging enlistments and ii cueing desertions, and furr ish a reason lor the undeniable fact that the first call forvol-unteerswas answered by very many more than were demanded, and that the next call fir soldiers will probably be responded to bv drafted men alone. The observation of the-President-in this connection, that neither the Convention in its resolutions, nor the Committee in its communication, intimate that fcey "are conscious of an existing rebellion being in pro gress with the avowed object of destroying the Union," needs, perhaps, no reply. The Democratic party of Ohio has felt so keenly the condition of the country, and been so stricken to the heart by the misfortunes and sorrows which have befallen it, that they hardly deemed it necessary by solemn resolution, when their very State exhibited everywhere the sad evidences of war, to remind the President that they were aware of its existence. In the conclusion of your communication, 5 on propose that, if a majority of the committee shall affix their signatures to a duplicate copy of it, which you have furnished, they shall stand committed to three propositions, therein at length set forth, that he will publish the names thns sianed, and that this publication shall operate as a revocation ot the rderol banishment. The committee can not refrain from the expression of their sur prise that the President should make the fate of Mr.

Yallandigham depend upon the opinion of this committee upon these propositions. If the arrest and banishment were legal, and were deserved; if the President exercised a power clearly delegated, under circumstances which warranted its exercise, the order ougnt not to oe revonect, merely because the committee hold, or express, opinions accordant with those of the President. If the arrest and banishment were not legal, or. were not deserved by Mr. Vallandigham, then surely he is entitled to an immediate and unconditional discharge.

The people of Ohio were not so deeply moved by the action of the President, merely because they were concerned forthe personal safety or convenience of Mr. Vallandigham, but because they saw in his arrest and banishment an attack upon their own personal rights; and they attach value to his discharge chiefly as it will indicate an aban donment of the claim to the power of such arrest and banishment. However just tne undersigned might regard the principles contained in the several propositions submitted by the President, or how much soever they might, under other circumstances, feel inclined lo endorse the sentiments contained therein, vet they assure him that they have not been authorized to enter into any bar- sains, terms, contracts, or conditions with the President of the United States to procure the release of Mr. allandigham. i he opin ions of undersigned touching the ques tions involved in these propositions are well known, have been many times puonciy expressed." and are sufficiently manifested in the resolutions of the convention which they represent, and they cannot suppose that tne l-iesuient expects tnat tney win seen me ais' charee of Mr.

Vallandigham by a pledge im ply ing not only an imputation upon their own sincerity and fidelity as citizens of the United States: and also carrying witn it Dy lmpnca' tion a concession of the legality of his arrest, trial and banishment, against which they, and the convention they represent, have so lemnlY nrotested. And while they have ask' ed the revocation of the order of banishment not as a favor, but as a rtfjAt, due to the people cf Ohio, and with a. view to avoid the possibility of conflict or disturbance of the public tranquility, they do not do this, nor does Mr. Vallandigham desire it, at any sacrifice of their dignity and self-respect. The idea that such a pledge as that asked from the nndersigned would secure the pub lie safety sufficiently to compensate for any mistake of the President discharging Mr.

Vallandigham is, in their opinion, a mere evasion of the grave questions involved in this discussion, and of a direct answer to their demand. And this is made especially apparent by the fact that this pledge is asked in a communication which concludes with an intimation of. a disposition on the part of tne iresiaent to repeat the acts complained of. The undersigned, therefore, having fully discharged the duty enjoined upon them, leave tne responsibility witn tne president M. Bikcjiard, Chairman, and others.

It was knocked down, and in the bed-room Mrs. Hartman. and lieikert were discovered lying upon the floor, both bleeding profusely, but alive. Keikert at once acknowledged that he had shot Mrs. and followed the act by shooting himself.

They declined to reveal anything further in relation to their mission than is above stated.

Admiral Bee, of course, had no authority to grant their request, and they consented to wait until he could communicate with Washington and receive instructions in regard to the matter. He accordingly telegraphed the facts and requested instructions. This morning a special Cabinet meeting was called to consider the matter. The granting of the request involved many delicate and important questions, as such a proceeding might be construed into an acknowledgment of the nationality of the pretended Confederate government; and, after all, the matter might be some comparatively unimportant affair, such as the employment of negro troops, No decision was arrived at, and the Cabinet meeting was accordingly adjourned until to-morrow, and Admiral Lee was instructed to ascertain if possible the object of the mission. In the meantime, tug containing the rebel ambassadors had turned about and steamed the river, without any patting salutation or explanation, and thus ended the mission.
