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 ernor with flittering prospect* of •>!»* tioo, and Was bitterly denouncing tb<* war policy of thw Government from the stump, to execute It Vnllaudigham ac cepted the issue and d« fi mUy denouncod the war policy He wa* arrest* J by a detachment of Rurnaldu’* command, and the telegraph inform* u* that the disturb ance occasioned by it wa* quullad by force and iotnauf the finginadnr* arrested To make the Indignity still more uiarkod, Ve landighHoi *■«» takon out of theSlute, and is now hold In confinement and per haps under rondumnati-m. 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.

The report that "very heavy and con tinuous firing was heard at Jackson" on • be I8ih, prepares us for early now# ol fighting at Mi»M*sippi Springe, or some other point between Jackson and 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 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.
