Companies is entirely gratuitous pars ine over nor. i No body and no eompany would trust tiou Capa, to guard a bridge, or anything else whete danger was apprehended, jor wherfe money might tempt a betrayal of the trust.

The position of Vallandigham is not sucK as to for or command Southern sympathy.

Amidst all his Renunciations of Yankee tyranny, of which he is nowiotim, he invariably pots-in a saving clause for the Union, invariably declares that the diarup tion of it shall not be final, but that it must reatnrprf restorea. in oiher words, Vallandigham, while pro- forcible em.noip;tion of poutnem slaves, and the various other ty- rannioal acts of Xincoln( administration, is willing, aye, anxious to make slaves of the white owners, by forcing them into a govern- meut which they detect, and subjugating tnem to a worse despotism even than that of whifth i which Vallandigham himself is a victim. It lspassiug strange that a man of sense, as Val- landigham is, 'and a man of patriotism, as he professes to be, shouldoccupy the supreme- iviwjt 1J junj uidcr which he of deeUiming against a violation of the constitution and abrogation of the laws, should seek to force a free people into a thraldom whioh he cannot throw off and under which he. now ro.na ai mr. anacaiffham wishM in nnAmv th position of a irue and consistent natriotet him come out and declare tbat the attempt to coerce the bouth into a Union hateful to should at once cease, and its right to live under a Government of its own choice shall be unqualifiedly acknowledged, and he will cave a claim upon the sympathy, respeot and hospitality of the South, should it be his lot to be sent to it.

Until he does this. lie has uo claim upon the sympathy or friendship of uy. ooumern man, and should not be permitted to enter the Confederacy.

Wahave all due respect for Mr. Vallandigham Th of th mV ii nmintrt hnl ene- that Mr, afiandigham is a citizen ofthe Uaiid States and of the State of Ohio, a government a1 State at war with the Confederacy.

Stacc the above was in type, we see tbat Vallandigham has reoeived a billet for the hospitalities of Fort Warren, where he will have full time review, and we hope reconsider his opinion that a people who have thrown off tho Government under whioh be suffers should be foroed into the resumption a position whioh would make them tho recipients of mercies as tender as those whioh have been vouchsafed to him.
