The Union Neusnaner.

We have seen it stated on the authority of a Tele-
graphic Despatch from Washington, that Messers
Burke Overton had purchased the Union establish
ment. Doubling the truth of the report, we did not
transfer it 10 columns, knowing that they could

contract in which Mr. Ritchey was involved Con-
gress having failed to release Mr. Belt the contrac
tor, the Editor of the Union, as his security, will
be bound to complete the work. BY the following
article from the Union of the lst inst it will be seen

ent editor remains at his post prepared with his gallant
associate Mr. Overton) to do battle against his own
enemies or those Of his country We shall address cur
subscribers tomorrow If they will stand by us with
the zeal with which shall stand by country,

The Congress printing is much in arrears. Many
of the public Documents, and particularly the Pa
tent Office reports in which the people feel much in
terest, not published. We glad TO learn that
the contract will not be abandoned but that he will
prosecute it with vigor- We copy his article that
