In what ovnnection did | uso the strong language’ A. Mr. Vailandigham discussed the order very brietly, in order to get away om the four o’clock train, and oc- cupled most of his timo in disoussing other propositions. Jt was in connection with remarks about cioging the war by be ody gr of the Union " He Com may that the carry power had the power to make peace by separation. He exhausted some time in reading mee or this—one was from Montgomery Blair and auother from Foruey’s Press He ulgo said there wero private proofs which time would disclose. He suid they pursued this thing unti! they found that the demvcrats were unwilling to make any ee except on the basis of the restoration of the whole inion. Q. Do you remember to what, if at all,in connection with futare usurpations of power he applied his strong- est language? A. I canuot say as to the strongest language, for he al- ways epvke pretty strongly. He denounced in strong lan- guage any usurputions of power to stop public discussions and tho suffrage. He appealed to the pexple to protect their rigts, as the remedy for every grievance. Twico in his speech he counselled and warned agaiust violence or revolution. By the peaceful means of the ballot box ail that was wrong of a public nature might be remedied, and that the courts would remedy all grievances of a private nature. I cunnot quote the juage, but that is the substance. During his speoch he referred to those in power having righttul authority, and that they should be obeyed. He counselied no resistance, except what could be had at the ballot box. Q. Was anything said by me at all looking to forcible reaisaggs nor Law or military orders? A an jerstand it. Q. Whet was (he sole remedy that I urged upon the la? ay Tho sole remedy was, as I have stated, in the courts and in the ballot box.

Furra Ary Coxps, Iv Camp, Near FaLmoura, a} May 9, 1863, : » ‘The aun has shown his gonial face again; the rain storm is over, the chilling air of early spring, that bas made se uncomiortable overcoaticss, and blanketless soldiers for three days past, has given way to decent weather aad ® warmth and balminess of the outer world appropriate to the season. Such change of weather has an electrics effect upon the men. To-day, give the men their cholos, and most of them would prefer sturting oa another expe dition in pursuit of the enemy, with ail the dangers of as tendant battles, to romatning inactive here. It is thees- citement of change, and skirmishing, aud fighting, they like. Whatever may be said of the resuita of the late expedition, tt cannot be said, at least of thy Filth corps, to have hada demoralizing effect on the men. Ufficers assert this with pride. The actions of the men show it te bo true. ae Incidents of the late fights continue to be the proms ment themes of conversation. Each day developes new horoog, as well as bringing to light cowards and ekulkers. It seems that it was General Meade, instead of General Tlockor, who gave « soldiera sharp puncture with his sword for attempting to rum away. The General told the soldier he would run hisaword through bim if he dié not join his regiment im the front at once, which the soldier proceeded todo. It is generally conceded, how. evor, that there was loss skulking and keeping out of the way in the late fights than tm any Gighis heretofore) Speaking of Genoral Meade, 1 am rominded in this cop. nection to say, that his staff bebaved with admirable valor and coolness, Livatenant Colonel Webb, of bis Stat, Dot encountering danger enough in the perijous duty of transmitting orders, accompanied Gener! Tyler's brigade in their terrific ight. The benofit of bis aid ané iuspiriting presence and boldness has been appropri ately acknowledged in the official roport of Genera Tyler. Adjutant Gonoral Yates, Captain Lamson, ead Lieutenants McQuade and Seitly,of Colonel McQuade’w staff, are also the rocipionts of handsome acknowledge ments in the official report of Colonel McQuade. I have im fact, heard of but one staf offer te the corps who behaved any way cowardiy. This officer, while conveying an order, was #0 overcome with the appearance of our earthworks, tne architectural beauty oi their military construction, and their luvulnorable se curity to resist attack, that, like a Mussulman at the sbrine of Mecea, he performed a ealaain so low that bie belly touched the ground behind them, and he did now THR RETAGaT. On Wednesday moraing, wien we were retreating from tho United States Ford, it remiaded oue of the crowded state of Broadway, with travel increased and the street narrower, Tiere had been a rain for twenty hours, and the roads, never good, were in dreadful condition. Long traius of ambulances, filled with the wounded, and repre- senting all the diiterent corps that hai beeu eagaged in the fight, were being seat 10 places of more comfort; while supply traios, ammunition wagons, commissary sores, pack mules, artillery infantry, cavalry, stragglers and Bohemians miugied ali together. Locomvtion was siow but forced, and a great confusion, of course, was in order. ‘NO SHELTER. There was no sheiter for us ou the way, for all availa- ble places wore fiicd with the wounded. Many, even then, were obliged to remain exposed, ag they had been to the previous rain of the day aud night before. They wore shivering with cold and chilled with the drenching storm. ‘MANY SD SORNES were there witnessed among those sufferers, for the nigh* had been extremely ovld. Among the sad accidents of camp may be mentioned that oi MOBS C, WARREN, THK DRUMMER BOT, in Company a, Twentieih Maine. On Wednesday, about noon, he was standing belore the fire heating coilew when, taking am old musket, he commenced to poke ile burning embers togewer, when the barrel exploded, shattering buth Daods. iie was immediately carried to the hospital, and after both hands uad been amputated at the wrists and the bandages appiied, he recovered trom ‘the stupor of chloroform, aud, looking at the banaaged arms, slowly raised them up and kissed thom, saying at the same time, ‘+i snail never drum auy more.” He was quite a sprightly iad, about Ufteen years of age, and a great pet with bis company.

Having boon ordered to Scott's Mill, to seo the position of matters in that vicinity, Capt. Huson came upos acamp of the enomy, captured twenty men, took twe calasons, a quantity of muskets and some commissary stores. He planted the Stars and Stripes on the ovemy’s earthworks, and remained there one night away {rom ‘the rest of the army. A numbor of secesh letters were found, some written on the morning of the Captain’s visit, The letters give no intimation of any knowledge of the Union army crossing there, and embrace the usual topies of secesh soldiers’ letters—complaints of hardships under- gove, the high prices of everything—writing paper, for instance, is four dollars a quire—the granting of (urloughe by drawing lots, and assurance of “licking the Yanks” every timo thoy meet them, Some individual, his eye im fine frenzy rolling, uo doubt, has ventured his opinion of President Lincoln in a poem of fourteen verses and in his rapid change of base, forgot to take it with him.
