M.-<j. HAMMOND'* article shall be forthcoming in our next L<sue. Mr. Vallundighnm, The last intelligence broug&t by the telegraph of this unfortunate gentleman, and tho last per haps wo shall ever hear, is that ho is a prisoner uudcr a lettr* de cachet from the President of the United States. He bas assigned Mr. YALLAXDIO H AM, for life perhaps, to a Bastido on tho Tortu gas. We hare watched the progrecs of th:*cuso with no ordinary intorcst, both on account of the in dividual arrested, and the time of the arrest. Mr. V. is the most distinguished member of tae Demo cratic party in the U. S., und is oue of the few men possessed of honesty and courage suffioient to beard tho Lion in his den ; to oppose openly,'at the hazard of his life and liberty, the foul and gloomy despotism that W overshadowing his land. Knowing that these midnight arrests, hy an armed soldiery, of froe citizens, was ono of the causes of the french revolution of 1793 ; know ing that the Democrats, of whom Mr. V. is leader, are now tho dominant party in the U S., it was supposed by many that the Government at Wash ington would not have the daring again to mike theil? UwJeaa arrest.* of .prominent citizens. Wo confers to a H?gering doubt on tb is point oursevles, but Mr. VALLANDICHAM'S caso leaves not a loop to hung a doubt upon. It is now patent that Mr. Lincoln's power In the U. is simply' unlimited. He bes " a hoart de void ot social duty and fatally bentupon mischief," aud his power is commensurate with his malignity ana depravity. Henceforth he may justly be j regarded as t. dangerous man, and being our ene J my, wu must bewaro of him. It will bo a ques I tion of curious sp?culation with future hUtuiiaun that this man, when beaten hy the Democratic party in 1S61, gained in a few weeks as ubsolute power over that party as he ever had over his own, and ruled them with a whip of scorpions. ? I The proper understanding of a single feet how ] ever, will unveil all tho mystery that surrounds this subject. When the Congress of the U. 6. gave Mr. Lincoln unlimited control of the sword I I and purse, all those fearful consequences might have easily been foreseen. It has boen no secret ?Ince the days of Sir Robert Walpole* that every msn had his prioa. Mr. Liuooln bad low cuuning enough soon to find out the price cf the leaders of the Democratic party ; or if this wu? H work beyond his original intellect, his man Friday, Wm. Seward, was quite competent to instruct him in any department of the school of iniquity. Those men ?f Roman virtue, the VALLAKDICUAMB, thu BKOOKSES, the WOODS, whom tho Treasury of | the U. S. oeuld not buy, are te be banishud to tb? Tortugas, and will parish probably ii Mr. Lin coln's Bastiles. The lesson taught us by these ovents ls plain, j Tbore is no peaco party in tho United States. Mr. Lincoln's gold has quite enlightened the I m iud? of the leaders of the Democratic party, ! and so long a? tljut mea bolds the sceptre in Wash ? ington, so long will he make war upon u? -a war ' of ?xiormination. Let us then gird up our l?ini ! ?ir this battle. God being our helper, wo shall I yet put our bcd np?B the neck of this nnscrupu J lout tyrant. Sontheim ??pdicines. ? We regret to karu that Dr. Daunts of Augusta, i Ga., so long arni favorably known as one of tho ' most skillful Pharmaceutists,-in tho South, is no j longer preparing his invaluable medicine?. A I f.-ioud vf Dr. D. informs us that the latter is pur suing this ccitr.?e because ho is unwilling to ad vance his prices in proportion to tho ruling price? of the liquors und ingredients required in making tue;e medicines. This, at the tame time that it does infinite crodit tu the heart and principles of Dr. DtiNXis, is doing a harm to the public. May I wo not respectfully urge Dr. D. to resumo th?

This new outburst of the war is iu m?r y re spects unaccountable, for tho Yankees have gained no new victorien end ar? no nearer conquering the South than after the first battle of Mantissas. A combination of circumstance* perhaps ha* enabled the demagogues and newspapers to delude the mob once more. The refusal of England to in terfere with the blockade ; the ann-unccmeut of the French Miniatur thal hereafter Fiance world leave us alone to fight out our differences ; the fall in the price of gold, and the vain delush a that the South io on the point of starvation, h.. ve probably all cundnced to thu belief that the Yan kee ?Ur is about to he in the ascendant. Account for it as we may, the fact is apparent, that the peace movement is dead or sleeping. We ere to have another bloody campaign this summer; fierce and furious battle* a: Vicksburg, on the Rappabanncck, in Tennossto perhaps at Charleston. The Yanko? Cont/cript law will not moot with the opposition which has beer, predicted. Tho agents of Abraham Lincoln may not uttempt to enforce it in the great cities, bc* ia the rural districts it will, in all probability, be rigidly enforced. By this moans tho Yankees ex pect to heavily roinforce their armies. They be lieve on the other hand that oar Conscription ha? drained the Confederacy of tho la*t available sol di er: C .? Expectations of foreien interference must be totally abandoned by us at present. It is evident that tho French Emperor has determined te wait some timo longer before be will again offer to mediate. The Engli?h papers nay tbttt the worst of the Lancashire troubles are over. The-Mexican w.sr is falling heavily upon the French exchequer, and is engrossing the attention of the public mind in France, while the Polish rebellion, strange to say, is creating more interest and excitement throughout Europo than the mighty' war raging on the American Continent. Wo must conquer with tho sword. Great vic tories by Lan and JOHNSTON and BBACKKGAHD this summer will alone acbievo peace. We must not lean on tho hope ot European mediation ; this hope is a reed which will break and pierce our hand. Nor must we lean en the hope of a peace I movement at the North. We underrate our Yan kee foes if we supposo they have nouo of tbe dog gedness and obstinacy of their Anglo-Saxon an cestors. They will try again and again, and muet be again and again beaten and driven hack. We can heat them this summor as easily aa we beat them last summer. When this campaign is over, and they are as fur from obtaining their ends as ever, it will bc for them to determino whether it will bo worth while to beat their brains out against the rocks again. The same malignity which has urgod them to hhod so much blood, will continue to push them to furthor excesses. Let no man then liston to thc sjren song of pon o, or cheri-h j a hope which may breed apathy. We would not I make the fond mother believe tho will yet he dc J luytd the bliss of clasping her noble soldier boy j tu her heart, if we did not think all promises to ber wcro delusions. In the future, we behold moro red fields, more prayers for thc beloved, more vain and bitter longings for the unrctumicg brave. lu the mtvuitisio let us he true in every way to ! ourselves ; let the people of tho land have every thing ready for another yenr of activity.

The prisoners .aken ai Ark?usas Post, who have bern c?n ined t'iere for four months, and win have ttst returned, have suffered even m.>re than heir predecessors in misery. Tiny were Rp'.ured in the early part, of the winter. Prey wire when Uken, well clad, and provi ded with every comfort for the cold setson. Such was.the destitution lo which they were reduced while prbonera of war, tba' over a thousand died, uud nearly as many more were maimed or diseased for life in consequence ot the hardships to which they'were subjected. AVfcen captured, they were unm^tc'lully p'undered of everything they hod, except the garments which happened *o be upon their parsons. They were crowded into small boat? KO closely, thal less than two square feet of the tioor was allowed ea h man ; and they were intermingled intentionally with cas?s of small pox, sent up from the Yankee army to their hospitals above. Several hun dred cases of this disease thus occurred among the prisoners, resulting in almost as many deaths. On arriving at Memphis, a largo nuraherof the prisoners found friends iu citizens, ol' the towo, who generously supplied them with money, blankets and other necessaries of com fort. These were brutally tont from them to a man, and they were compelled in this des titution to.make the journey, at the coldest se-tson ot' the year, up the river to Cincinnati. During this journey, and up to the time ot their departure from the prison, they were successively robbed of every article of the least value ab'uit their persona, and finally uf every particle of clothing not necessary to conceal nakedness. If, for instance, they had on a shirt and an uudsrsbirt, they wer? forced to divest themselves of the fo-mer, anil to w?ur the other the whole remaining period of their captivity, without a change, livery overcoat, every blanket, every surplus piece of clo! hing uf any description, were* t-iken away from them by their keepers on the boats, or in the prison. The horrors of cold which they MifTered, thus naked, during a se vere winter in a frosty climate, cannot b( described in language. All were more or lest trust bitten, many of them to the cost of their lives, and many more to nn extent rrq-tirin^ the amputation ol bands and feet. * * * Some of the facts of the subject have beer submitted by our offices to the Washington authorities, and enquiry made whether tbt-? were authorized" hy that government. Tot answer has been in the last degree instil tine to the South. It u denied that these cruel lies have been inflicted by order, but it W not denied that the government wns informed ol them. On the contrary, it imp ted by admit? its recognizance of them, and jus'ilies them on tbe ground that they were practised in rn taliation for cruelties alleged to be suffered by. its own prisoners st Richmond : ami this pie'ended retaliation, through declared to la? unauthorized, is admitted to be winked at bj the Washington authorities. It reumin" to be seen wiiat action our gov ernment will take to put an end to this course ol'conduct ; and it must also form the sub. ject of a verdict from the civilized world and from future historr.
