~"“Tebel pickets exultingly tailed out to. our ~ 20nd -gé-heine+-thattheir friends (the rePF) _Bevady Daily Transcript FRIDAY, MORNING MAY 8th. . Uytow Leacue Meerive.—The spirit ‘of the people is aroused. A treméndous Union Leagué meeting came off at the Metropolitan theatre on Wednesday night — ‘Tlie hotide “was full: men filled tip the aisles standing. The enthusiasm: was great, giving evidence that this far-of, humble sec. tion of the Union is: true to the cause of Judge A. C. Niles called the meeting to order, and Judge T. B: MeKarland was ‘ called to preside. Judge McFarland opened with a brief but pointed and appropriate speech which was repeatedly applduded.-Rt. HH. Farquhar, Esq., was appointed Secretary, and D. K. Sykes, Esq.,; Vice President of the meeting».. While these proceedhugs weretratspiring, the Hon. A. A. Sargent and Gen. James Collins walked upon the stage, when they were enthusiastically cheered. The meeting being jully organized loud ealls were titade for ‘~ “Sargent” who arose and addressed. the assembled multitude ina speech about one hour in length. The effect was splendid; cheer after cheer followed the conclusion of each patriotic sentiment that he uttered: The speech was an earnest and ab'e vindication of the cause of the Union, A variety of subjects were discussed by Mr. Sargent, all tersely, pithily, and vigotously. Gen, Collins made a short speech which did infinite credit to-_his head and heart. Gen: Collins is a Virginian by birth. What he said on Wednesday night should put to blush Northern born doughsfaces and truck ling foreigners taught from birth to detest oppression, ‘If,’ to be a radical,” said the General, ‘is todesire the confiscation of the property of rebels, negroes end ll, then, I am aradical. Ifto be an aboliti: nist, is to favor artuing the slaves to defend this Union against traitors and destruction, then I am, ian abolitionist. If to believe that slavery is inorally and politically wrong is to be an abolitionist; thet I am proud to say, for the last forty years I have been an abolitionist "— Gen. Collins did not speak long,, but he ut» tered noble séntimetits, worthy of humanity, _ pattiotiom and hiniself. ~ After the conclusion of Gen. Collins’ speech, T-P. Hawley, Esq., was called out, who indorsed the sentiments of the speakers who preceded hitn, when a series of patriotic ress vlutions were passed unaninously, p committee appointed, consisting of Niles, Hawley and Pattison, to draft a pledge in accordance ‘with the tesoltitions passed; to procure signatures to the sattie, and to call a meeting of the signers of the pledge, at some early day, for the purpose of completing the organization of tue Nevada Union League. The meeting then adjotitned with three rousing cheers, and three more of thie same kind for “Fighting Jov. Hooker.” And thus the Union League moveinent is inaugurated in this county undet the most favorable auspi ceb. 4 t" The Express says the Peace Demos cfacy are Mted. denounced and dreaded by the South. How happened it that after tlie New. York, Illinois and Indiana elections the soldiers on the Rappahannock-that: xbéey: _bels) Were coming into power in the North, and Davis would be in Washington ina few days? It was harder for our soldiers to bear thane rebet charge of bayonets. —, ene SSer a Cee ae te Vallandigham, the favorite statesman of the Matysville Express, has come to grief. Hehas been “arbitrarily arrested” like the Chapiman patriots. and placed: in a safe place, Look out for a howl from the Demoerntic organs. It may be wellto suggest in advance thatthe last Congress authorized the sus+ pension of the writ of habeqs corpus, a6 that traitors can now be constitutionally arrested by the hdmissions of the copperheads thems selves, they contending that Congress alone possessed the power to authorize suspension. Itis just as inconvenient, however, for: Vak™ landigham, to be interrupted in’ his traitorous work of furnishing aid and comfort to the re il .. Om the last steamer for Panania’ were ~“ghipped<four.cases Sonoma champagne, to the order of an Austrian Count, in “Vienna. He was here not long since, tried the wine, and liked it so well that he ordeted a qliah{the Union, of course. Southern admiration of abolitioniate, and its dislike of those advocates of peace and Union, Vallandigham, Seymour, Wood,” &c Why does not the Express reter to the large packages of speeches of Vallandizham, Cox, Richardson aud Wood, which were found by . the Federal troops in Mississippi, in the recent raid, all ready for distribution. That sheet.knows that Vallandigham’s plan for pence, as enunciated in the last House of Represéntatives, and Which could but be ment to agtee to an armistice, which would open the Southern ports, let the South sell its cotton for gold and guns, procure ironclads,and take breath for another struggle. Meanwhile an excuse would be offered for our evemies in Europe to declare against. a renewal of the war, and the term of service of our troops would expire, leaving us de~ fenceless, unless we resorted to the cruel measures of Jeff. Davis to fill up our armies, measures which Vallandigham and the Express would be fast to condemn if employed for instead of against thé Union. Out upon such twaddle; out on auch preachers of ** peace and Union,” their advocates and, ad« mirers. The Express is calculated for the latitude of Charleston, not of California.— "We fell it the war cannot and shall not cease until the rebellion id crushed or its friends sneceed in destroying the Government. The rebels may succeed, thtough-their prospects are the matter of: 80 much anxiety—to~ the pence democracy just at present but they will not sueceed by the Government adopt. ing the Insidious counsels of the tories of this war. ((e” When you hear a man say he hates abolitionists as bad as he does secessionists, you may set him down as. a patriot. When he continually finds fault with Abe Lincoln, but overflows with sympathy for Jeff and his hard pushed allies, spothim for a Union man, When he has a realizing sense of the Yankee despotism, but is oblivious to rebel attrocities, he is sound. When he mopes about the street, and even refuses his accus~ tomed whisky, at news-of Federal victories, but goes forth radiantly when traitors succeed, he is a nifty Unionist. When he bleats dismally over the ruinous taxation of the peoets, that the country can’t stand it, he is for Such an Unionist shows his patriotism by praising every s-cessiouist who runs for office, by talking of the wrongs and ability of dirty traitorous sheets, by blowing for Democracy, by cussing abo-~ litionists, and by keeping mighty still when indiscretion is dangerous. But an unfailing, mark of such Unionists ia that they are the poltriest fellows in every community. We have so accurately described the few men who in this community steal the livery of heaven to serve the devil in, that we need not give their names, te Let us restore the Constitution which the Republican party repudiated, and administer the Government ag it Waa ad« ministered under every President from Washington to Lincoln, and there can be no cause fur war and disunion.'’— Express. The rebellion broke out when the Government was administered by Buchanan, Cobb, Toucey, Floyd, et id omne genus, and must theretore have been without cause. Don't ye see? Every act of aggression on the South by the Government must: have been committed before Lincoln, Re Seth tt bal "e"From the Journal extra of last night we learn additional and ‘unfavorable news. It is reported that Hooker has been driven across the Rappahannock with severe loss.— The enemy have retaken Cnancelorville and Fredericksburg. Nothiig has been heard of tertained. that he has been cut off. There has been a riot at Dayton, Ohio, in consequence of the arrest ef Vallandigham. The Journal, a loyal newspaper, waa destroyed by the mob: Vallandighaim has been tried by a military commission.’ About a hundred prominent secessionists of St. Louis have been arrested. Gold has risen to 56. _ Tne town of Meriden (Conneticug), having advertised for a loan to psy off exfOnaes in+ granted to their families, the ainount has been taken at a prem@m ranging from four. per cent, to par. * > RETRRNS of the seanteiga’ eleetionheld in the ~ of Cincinnati, on the 4th of April, ‘show a ' Returns from the State show Urion galins over the result last year: window te see the Princess Alexand: ‘wnwelthe tity of it: t popular inthe South, was for the Govern-' ple. ahd vows with hands in his empty pock-: Stoneman and his cavalry, and feurs are encurred in bounties fur-volunteers and relief nion majorlty'of from 500 to 1,000.4 : A's much as $1,000 was paid for a seat ma . UNION ResutvTions.—The following resolutions werepresented by A: C. Niles, . “Esq:, at the Union League meeting on Wednesday night, and wete passed utianimously-. with great applause : Resolved—That in the terrible erisis through which the United States of America is passe ing. every sentiment of. patriotism and hu~ tnanity calls upon every’ man whose bosom is blessed with aspark of honor or manliness to stand by the Union of the States firmly and tinequivocally. ee Resolred—That by an organization of all the moral and physical force of true Union men in the land, the contest with rebellion and treason can be:rendered no longer doubtful, but sure to resilt in a glorious triumph to free institutions, and immortal justice. Resotred—That we say in the face: of every dangér, to traitors and all the world inimical to Republican Govefnments, that the flag of our National Union. thttst and shail be upheld with “not a stripe obscured or star eraded.”’ : aie se Resolved—That deenting the preservation of the Government founded by our fathers tis the only hope for conserving free institu~ tions on earth, it is-the solemn duty of every patriot and every friend of bamanity to offer himaelf and all-he has. to the boly work. Resolved—Therefore, that we, all and each of us, are ready, willing, and eager to affix our flames to a solemn pledge to stand by the constituted authorities of the nation in any and every emergency ; to give all the moral and physical ‘power we possess to aid the Government in any and evety measure having for its object the suppression of this unrighteous rebellion and the restoration of the Union to its former transcendent power and glory. The Committeee have handed us the fol. lowing pledge, which will be copied into a book and left at Blaze’s for signatures. We pledge ourselves to support and maintain the Administration in all its efforts to suppress the unholy and wicked rebellion, and. declare ourselves in favor of a vigorous prosecution of this war until every. ag in the so-called Southern Confedera~ .cy. shall, recegnize the supremacy of the Constitution and government of the Unite States of America. We further pledge ourselves to use our utmost means to defeat copperheads and s-cessionists at every town, township, county and State election. And with an avowed purpose to faithfully carry out these pledges, we hereunto cheerfully subseribe our names. oa . —The Philadelphia Enquirer has a dispatch. durporting to be from Washington yeaterday, stating that-a telegram from Lee to Richmond, was intercepted, calling for reinforcements, announcing his entire inability . to hold out for two days longer, ubless these were sent. _Stoneman’s cavalry is in the rebel rear. He.ia said to have cut. the Virginia Central, and the Fredericksburg aod Richmond Railroads , southwest of Chancellorville, tearing up 5 miles of the track, and capturing a rebelsupply train, thus cutting off all communication with Richmond. Washington, May Sth.—The Republican, in a postscript yesterday afternoon says, our advices up to noon to-day, are that the victory of Hooker’s army is more complete than wae at firat supposed ; all the most sanguine could hope for is realized. We congratulate the army and the country upon this importantsuccess. ‘There are facts connected-with this movement which cannot at present be stated, but when it is completed they will he made known, : Philadelphia, May Sth—A Bulletin extra of this P. M., contains news from to-day's Washington papers that General Fitz Hugh Lee, is a prisoner in Washington. There is reports of the capture of 5,000 prisoners. following latest from Hooker's army: The battle of Sunday was resumed on Monday morning. The eneniy appeared to have forces equal in number te our own. His sucessive attacks were made with desperate valor. The destruction of the railroad bridges over the org om and eee ny Creeks, south of ‘redericksburg, has certainly been accomplished, and the read te Richinend thus cut off to the enemy. Bight hundred prisozers.includi tire furce of the 23d Georgia Regiment, were brought to Washington this morning. They were well clad, and not one looked as though he hadwot had enough to eat.
