Union Parties.

According TO our understanding of the
matter any party is n Union party which
makes the preservation of the Union the
paramount object of its Iabors. All par.
ties will profess TO do this now, and it on
ly remains for the people to decide which
one is most disinterested in making such
profession, aud most likely, in the event
of having an opportunity, to act upon it
Mr.. Holt, in one of his late speeches, in.
PRODUCES the similc of the two women who
went to King Solomon with child that
both claimed, for his decision on the queS-
ton Of its parentage, and when the King
proposed TO divide it, the false mother as
sented to the division, but the true moth
er could not stand that, and preferred 10
yield the whole child rather than have il
divided. The parentage of the child was
no longer in doubt; and there will be just
as little doubt, after the proceedings OF
our several State Conventions arc pub
lished, in regard to which is the true
Union party.
1t is not the vehemence with which
men utter their protestation OF devotion
to the Union that determines their claim
TO be considered Union men par excel
tence. For anything that we know TO
the contrary, the unnatural was no less
vehement than the natural mother in the
assertion of her claim before "the wise
man." With him, however, the question
was not, who talks loudest but who was
willing TO sacrifice most. He did not in
quire which one is most firm, but hit up
on device for ascertaining which was
most yielding These are the leading
features of that case, and makes its cita-
ton by Mr.. Holt most appropos. The
true Union party now, whether compos-
cd of few or many members, is that
one which stands ready TO sacrifice most
for the Union. Que party may prefer
the Union to slavery, and another to an
ti-slavery, but the true Union party goes
for preserving the Union slavery or no
slavery. Whoever insists that the Union
shall not be restored upon any other ba-
sis than the one which his party has pre-
scribed, is n disuuionist. 'e

The GovERNMENT STocK-YARD.-
AT the government stock-yard, which is
located near the Observatory, at Wash
ington, there are now about four thousand
horses. Over twenty thousand horses
have arrived within the past three months,
principally from New York, Pennsylvania,
and Ohio, the average prices paid for them
being about $l2o. About one-fourth of
these have been selected for cavalry, about
the same number for artillery, the remain
der being used rs draft horses. There
are about three hundred and twenty men
constantly employed at the stock-yard,
most of them acting as ostlers, watch
men, DC. A portion of them, however,
are constantly engaged in breaking the
most unruly animals, and in raining 9th
ers for the artillery and cavalry. AS fast
as they are got into good condition, they
are put in the hands of the various caval-
ry and artillery regiments, who continue
the work OF training. .s

GOVERNMENT ExPENDIruREs.-Th

GOVERNMENT ExPENDIrUREs.-The
government is now spending, according to
the most reliable estimates, fully 81 ,2O0,-
600 per day. The people pay this amount,
and are entitled to their moneys worth,
and must have il, because they can not
continue to raise this enormous sum for
any great length of time. 1t is therefore
incumbent upon the government to count
every cent in expenditures. The war is
costing us much more than it does the
rebels, because with us everybody is try
ing to make money out of il. If this is
not stopped we shall be hopelessly bank
rupt without accomplishing a single OBJ
ject for which we flew to arms. We can
not be successful unless we hare more
economical use of money.

MARSHALL, Oct 8, 1861. e
Messrs. BARNS. The name indicated
above is that of the quarters occupied by
the Regiment of Michigan Fusieers.-
The ground Is the back half of the Cal
houn County Fair Ground-around the
outside of which, and just inside of the
fence, is track for trotting horses a half
mile in length, to which grounds we NOV
ed yesterday from tho Fair Ground
Buildings, which were previously used as
barracks for the soldiers, and from which
we had 10 move, to give place to the Cal
houn County Fair, which is held here to-
day, tomorrow aud the next day. loe
In our new quarters we occupy new,
regular army tents. They are about
eleven feet high, and in the shape of an
inverted tunnel, with perpendicular wall
at the bottom about three feet high
They are round in shape, and about four
teen feet in diameter, with straight pole
in the center, in which the soldiers sleep,
twenty each, on blankets laid on straw,
their heads radiating in every direction
from the center, where all tEeir feet are
close around the pole. These tents we
shall take with US in our southwark
march, and in them we think we are
quite comfortable, and complain Of moth
ing except our board. The boarding job
bers' cooks seem TO only understand one
thing we'll, and that is, how to spoil the
most good provision and render it unfit
to eat by bad cooking. But the Quarter
master, ROBERT INNEs, and several Cap
tains, having heard the soldiers com
plants, arc on their track, and we arc
promised reform in future. 1t seems
hard for us, who know that the State has
to pay for good board, to have to eat in
fcrior trash, simply to enrich the pockets
of a few jobbing sharks, who, for the sake
of wealth, would willingly starve our cit
izen soldiery. But more at another time.
Yours very Truly,

The Republican Convention of Massa-
chusetts met at Worcester, on the lst
inst, nominated State ticket, approved
of all the acts of the President, and con-
sequcntly of has modification of Ere
monfs proclamation. We hail this as a
happy sign Of conservatism of the consti-
tuition, and regard it as proof of the as
sertion, so often made by us, that all re-
ally loyal men will sustain the President
in his adherence to the law, despite OF
the attempts to create party hostile to
him on that issue. We confess that we
are agreeably surprised at this action Of
Massachusetts, republicanism, and recon-
mend it as an example to some of the
bitter partisans Of that organization in
the Northwest. afcH en- 9na.-a
Another remarkable feature in the con-
vention was that Charley Sumner turned
up and made an abolition speech, which
was not applauded, if the report can be
relied on. We did not know what had
become of Sumner. His southern proto-
type, Breckenridge, is in the rebel camp,
aud we now know that he has been 10
Massachusetts waiting for an opportunity
to talk. His speech proves that he is
fast falling into old logyism. He has
got no further than slavery. He has no
perception of the fact that something
grayer is required to save the country
than negroism and cheap learning. So
he quotes Plutarch's Lives, Ia singular
authority for historical facts,) repeats
school-boy Latin to make the vulgar
think he is learned, and emits mourn
full, unearthly echo of the old Kansas
shriek-all to prove that the panacea for
every human i'll is the abolition of slavery.
But his harmless prattle fell still-born on
the convention. They indorsed all the
acts of the President, while they silently
listened to their faultlessly dressed Sena-
tor. They have an appreciation he has
not reached. They understand that talk
about emancipation will win no victories.
The trust of the country must now be in
powder and shot and big gus. Adolf
ton fulminations have not killed a rebel
since the war began, so that the elegant
Senator is simply talking automaton,
repeating the mechanical part he was
taught in old campaigns, while every body
is living up to the age with devout faith
in musket and bayonet-in the law o.
superior force-as the only arbiters in the
present struggle. Chicago Times, 9th.

Compound Extract Of SarSaparilla,

the most e~fectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
