THE UNION Veto
EgE9,


The cheering news from all sections OF the
country hos filed our people with the best
spirits. Every friend you meet greet' you with
a warmth and ygcr, hearty hopciulness that
plnirly shows what a load of dependency
recent events have lifted from the public mind.
Simultaneously with the success OF the great
Naval Expedition, aud Nelson's glorious victory
in Kentucky, we hear good tidiogs from East
ern Tennessee and tbs old North STATE 10
Tennessee, tho Union men, as If By preconcert,
rise in response TO the Union victories at
Plketon and Beaufort, ard taking hint from
the Baltimore rebels, burn bridges. de-
stroy telegrophs, and tear up railroad
tracks, to prevent rebel reenforcements from
going TO Kentucky, or to the succor OF the rat
iIcsnake of South Carolina. This intelligence
is in itself victory, and should nerve us to
renewed exertions to relieve these loyal men
from The insolent throldom which has so long
oppressed them. In North Carolina, which
never was Secession State, five Rebel reg-
mcnts have just been disbanded, and the Con
federate newspapers confess that unless JEFF
Davis sends an army into the State soon the
people will speedily proclaim their adhesion
to tho Stars and Stripes. According to Tic
RaleiqL Standard, nothing is TO be hoped from
the State Executive the Governor being as
strong q Union man M aoy OF them.
These tidipgs, with the reported mutiny
AZ Norfolk, and with the concurrent testimony
that reaches us from all quarters, Of the treP'
idatiou that prevails in the demoralized Rebel
ranks, demonstrate clearly that tho Rebellion
has sustained severe blow, and that, II 1t be
speedily followed up with vigor and determine
ton. as we doubt not it will be, the anDiver-
sary Of the fall Of Sumter may see tbe glorious
old flag once more waving over united people.
At this iuncture. il ia our duty to show the
Government, the Army, and the Navy, that the
people rejoice in their successes, as well as
mourn over their defeats. Moral support in
these times goes n great way. The great
meeting the other night, TO help the loyal sui-
ferers Of North Carolina, is n thorn in the side
Of the Rebels, who it prOclams to the Op-
pressed Unionsts throughout the South that
they may safely count upon the friendship
and support Of the Empire State. Now,
let ms show our feelings in regard
TO the great victories. not by mere
formal speech and writing, but by public
demonstrations which shall nerve our brave
soldiers and seamen to deeds Of heroic daring,
worthy Of the holy cause in which they are
engaged. Yesterday, we observe salutes were
fred by the corporate authorities of Brooklyn
at Fort Greene, and by the representatives of
tie Army and Navy at Governors Island ard
tie Wallabout. Such demonstrations arc oil
well enough but they do not rise to the hight
of the occasion. A New-York has not yet
shown her enthusiastic joy in any general and
public manner, we propose that measures
be taken Immediately toward this end. Doubt
less. next Sabbath the clergy aud the people
will unto in offering thanksgivings TO the Good
Providence which has smiled upon our arms.
Suppose We were TO follow it up on Monday
night by grand display Of bunting and by
general illumination of the city. IL would put
our soldiers in good heart, aud make each son
of New-YOrk now in the service Of the country
feel that lie is not forgotten at hOme-.hat
bis country expects him TO do his duty, and
stands ready to honor him accordingly.
