Tb* Crlal* In Ohio.
Thecircumstsnces attending the arrert
and imprWonment of Val’andighafn in
Ohio are *ucli a* to make ug a direct ® na
issue between the Linco n Government ubMt|luU
and It* opponent# at th»* .Norfh, ai d to
teit the question whether the I tier haw
the courngu and mean* of r«»liting any
rue xure of the Administration. The
“death order" of Burnside Wan evidently
designed to meet Jii»t *uch a case a* Val-
landigham preaenicd. That order an-
nouncod that every one who by speech or
writing attempted t bring the war p«»l cy
of the Government Into dLrepute would
Incur thh^ajh penalty; and Burnvjde
w-s sent wttnvi iarge force toUhlo, where
VallandlahMm wa* a candidate lor Gov

If U be truo ibttf the nxcitemenl cau«i'd
by 1,61* high-handed arrest has 11
press'd by military force, w* may a*
well dismU* at once any anticipation ol
an uarly collision in the Northwestern
States between tho 'people and the Ad-
miptstra ion. No more direct a d *lin^-
inglnxult could be ofiferod ary party than
the arrest of its leader for the advocacv
of it# principles, aud if a political organ
isation will not fight for suuh a cause, It
will not fight at all. Abetter occasion
for a rupture, or a circuinstarco calculat-
ea to produce int*n**r excitemont, cannot
be imagined. Tim blow strikes not Val-
landigham alone, but all his supporter*
and sympathisers, and deprive* them ol
tho constitutional right of peaceably
assembling and discussing mutters per
taining to the public welfare.
We are hurdiy prepared to credit the
report that li ft opposition in Ohio to this
ouirageons proceeding has been so eeaii.y
an.t quickly put down by thu st’ong arm
of the military authority. It wasnoia
local excitement that the event must huvo
produced, but one pervading the whole
State and AnJlng strong #ytnpathlscrs In
tbe adjoining Butts, But if It b* really
true, the exhibition of opposition to th
w-«r policy In tbo Northwest Is ridicu
lously ended and will be remombored
only with contempt.

Th" time report was brought to this
plate Yesterday afternoon, by passenger:
from tbe west. No telegraphic dispatch
concerning-it has been received by tbo
pies# of thi* city up to tbe time of writ
ing this; buf.it I# feared from the very
reticence obeerved that it may bo true.
One report rays that our troops were
forced to fall back five miles from Jank-
Katmond, 3l«tt, to which pulnt the
Yankees have advanced in force, is 16
miles sun times* of Jackson, and in the
same county {Hinds) of which it is the
county ssit. It is only 8 mile* from the
Vicksburg <% Jackson railroad, with
which it U connecltd by a branch rail
road. Raymond is 12 or 16 miles oast of
the Big Black, olid lha advance of the
smer.y to that p’ace indicates an attack
Jackson or on th« railroad near Jack-
I. Ills now evident that a great fight
far beyond the range of tho Yankee gun
boats i* to bo fought fur the possession
Vicksburg.
MiasissirriKpRtNos, to which General
Gregg has fallen back, ix between Ray

Another Confederate Vessel t urning,
The London Skip) Ornette, of the
18th April, has a letter tr Plymouth
giving partlcular'And reliable information
concerning a iron steanuhlp that
left Greenock oh the JJd of the
month, ostensibly for t!a* Chine #«««, but
rvally for tbe Confederate p. Ivateer ser
vice. She sailed under thenameof tbe Ja
pan, having t.n boprd ono hundred men,
all picked, good •eamcn, add a majority
of them old hands at the gun drill. The
steamship Alar, arrived at Plymouth,
reported that #he took on board at New
Haven nearly one hundred tons of goods
in case#, and pi ocneded to tho const of
France, and was ibero Joined by tho *u-
pan and a French pilot; that the two
vessels ran in and anchored in a creek,
where twelve Whitworth guns, mostly
40-pmindors, and a large quantity <»
powder, shot and shell, wore transferred
from the AUrtothc Japan. The Alar
brought hack thirteen of the crow of tho
Japan who wore unwilling, aftei * v, «' had
procoedod to see, to. sign new article*,
stipulating tbfit they would fly the Con
federate tl ig and assist i" capturing and
destroying Federal vessel*.
Tire Japan is* steamer of about 000
tons, with engine* of *200 or 360 horse
power, bho Is x*id to be s«ilin A under

Pemberton wi re thon arriving at that
puint, and w*>u I continu • to arrive dailv
I’ any fighting had taken place up lo lh>
liiih, u-e should doubtless havo heard of
it boforo thi* time. We therefore con
clude that a conxidi-rnblu addition to
forces ropqd about Vicksburg wa* made
in good time.
The Killing of MaJ. G«u. Van l>oru.
As yet we have received no particular#
of the killing of Gen Vat* Dorn, nor of
tho onuses which led to iLotlier than from
street rumors, which it correct would
seem that the killing avh- Justifiable,
.Dr Peter*, who ktll«-d him, wa# form

wealth, position and influence, whose
family conn-*cti‘>ne rank with tha first in
T*-nncssee. HeU aid to have approach
ed Gvti. Van I)orn in tho street, and pre
senting a ni ml -hot him in the head. -
Ckutta. Ilebel, lOGt.
The Knoxville RtgitUr nays it it gen
erally supposed thorn that thu homicide
“grew out of Van Dorn's dii’urbanco of
the domestic peace of Peters.” Wo havo
ho*»d such n report here.
5^ The Richmond papers contain
counts of tho capture of one hundred
Yankees at Goochland, Hardy county
Va., by a portion of our troops under
U**n. June*. The Yankees took refuge
in a clinch, and fired on theConfwieiatef,
killing oue and wounding several. As
tho quickest utod* of coining at the Yan
kees,'he church wa# tired, whoa they
surrendered
carrying on the war, apd to dutron our j
people into submission by the pluuder ,
and destruction of their provisions, live
stock, Ac., and the interruption of their
communication* and exchang* of pro
ducts. They have established their bssee
•t to many points, and have such undis
puted control of the coast and of a num
ber of our rivers, a# to make it very un
certain at what point their plundering
and destroying expedition* will start,
and what course they will teke. Seerujf
u a chief eloutent of strength in move
ment* of this sort, and the present dis
position* of the Yankee force* give then,
superior advantage* in this respect.
In ihi* phase of the contect, it Is essen
tially important that each ceithborhood
in the least danger of a Lo tile v isit should
have a permamont home force able to
offer instant and formidable resistance.
Columbus has the materia!* for such a
force, but they bava lo he gathered up,
organized and prepan-d. Wo have hun
dreds of men whoso age- or pursuit!, will
not admit of their joining the regular
array, but who can devote intervals of
their time to discipline, and can wake
efficient soldier* in an emergency; and
we hare other nundred# of younger wen
ongagolin work which the Government
deems at important in the defence x>f tL»*
country ax their service in the rank#, who
can bo spared for a few hours once or
twice* *ri»*k for drill, and who would
make cxcolloul defenders of our city if
properly armed end disciplined. A late
act of (’ougrea# invitee both these cla*-
to organize and arm for home de
fence, and certainly thesigox of the time*
dirate that they should respond to thi*
invitation without delay,
e have said above, Mcrtty if a
feature of a Yonkee raiding expe
dition important to its success. We
shall, therefore, have no notice of tho
approach of the enemy. They will come
upon us “like a thief in the night, ' or, if
wholly unpreofired, like the urrp-
od highway rotbor who Id open day sud
denly etops twice or thrice hi* number of
unarmed victim# with tbo demand
“You* money or your life.” To be cer
tain of safety again#t ruch a system of
warfare, wo roust be ready all the time,
must hnv* a permanont local force. Thi#
we must organize and keep up from
among ourtelvM, for the Government
cannot spare its eoldirri for such service.
Let every man able to bear fire-arms,
then, report himself to the comwitteo for
this duty, ar.d we «hi»iJ havo a force that
will give u» axxurance of safely.
Thr tank*** at Jarkeea.
Thr rumor# a« F» the fall of Jackaou,
Miss., in mroulatifij vest#.rdiy, were »o
vague and uncertain that we lind a* oil
nigh despaired of hearing anything in
telligible from that quarter until the pub
lic mind should become somewhat com
posed, and tho channels of communica
tion with that section be again opened.
Lute ir. the nronir.g, however, w« by
chance were introduced to a highly iu- |
Udligent gt-nilnuteD of vho army who
gave us some solution of affair* in that!
direction. Ui* advices from Jackson
wore derived from relugehs who had iv-
Cflped and telegraphed from Brandon
and other point*.
It appear# from these account# that the
fight began nt an early hear Thuroday
morning, some eight miles south wont of
Jack*on, and continued nearly all day,
>ur troop# commanded by Gen. Johnston
nd tho enemy's by Grant We were fi
nally driven back to Jackson und fought
them through the street# until overpow
ered by greatly superior numbers, and
were compelled to ovacuatfl tho city, tho
enemy’s force amounting to about 'JO.OOP
or 00,000, and our own only about 9,0(1).
Ocn. Johnston then rolroated on Canton,
twenty-four mile* due north of Jack*on,
situated on tho wagon road connecting
tbencoby Yildsn to the toad running
due e:tst to lha Yazoo river aud leading
directly to Vicksburg, *omo seventy mile#
from Jackson by this routo.
Whoo board from yesterday morning,
tho onorny'# cavalry wore at Brandon, on
tbe Southern road, twenty odd miles thi*
side of Jackson, user which point we
had a force to protect tho road. Thi#
fact L official and may bn railed on.
Uon. Johnston had arrived at Jackson
11 A. M ., Weduotday, and the fight com
menced so early the next morning, left
him no time to reorganizo and concen
trate tho forces, and ho an doubt made a
desperate ronsUnc© uudor great disad
vantages. It is riaicd that some day# be
fore leaving Tcnn wee Gen. Johnston
sent Gen. Femberlou an order to some-
* hat change hie plans, which wa* forth-
with set aside by tho latter a* very im
proper dictation to #o conr.equtu.tial a
commander, whereupon Oml.. Johnston
received an order at tho la#t moment on
Saturday to go to Mississippi and take
command of the nrmy. Hm left the same
day and arrived in unprecedented time,
as before #t*te«J, Wedne«day morning.
