Union MEETING,

sARAroGi, Monday, Oct. I, 1861.
There was a Union mass meeting in the old battle
ground at Bemis flights, to-day, to listen to elo-
auent speeches from the Hon. Lyman Tremain, the
Rev. A. d. Mayo, and Benz. Mott, all Of Albany
1000 people were present.
Mr.. TTemain spoke of the great value OF our
Union aud the necessity Of all uniting to sustain the
Government saying that it was hard to educate some
old Democrats 10 support Lincoln, but the question
now was Lincoln or anarchy. He closed with
quotation from Webster on the subject Of the Union
hIr. Mayo spoke Of the conspiracy that bad been
for 40 years eliminating which had been put Off
from time to time by compromise, but, as James
Buchanan had Just said, the time for compromise
was past. He concluded that none would now be
offered. He continued showing by statistics that
this State should send more volunteers into the field,
that with population nearly as large as all the
seceded States il had not sent many soldiers out as
Tennessee and Arkansas had on the other aide.
MIR. Mott devoted himself TO the exposition OF the
ninth resolution of the State Democratic COnven-
ton, He pronounced it rank Calhounism in It's
worst form. That resolution was rejected by the
Committee on Resolutions, and by all Democrats ex-
cent those /, the Convention. The great error on
that resolution wa. in saying that the General Gov
eminent WAS made by the States; neither that nor
the Federal doctrine that the General Government
made the States was right. The truth was, the
people, in Convention assembled created the Gov
ernInents, both Of the States and Union.
All the speeches were received with enthusiasm

This morning, and during the middle hours OF the
day guns were repeatedly heard in the direction Of
Conrads Ferry. AT 3 o'clock this afternoon Gen.
Banks rode thither and has not yet returned. II is
.urmsed that the firing was from guns to protec,
the preparations said to be progressing there for
crossing the river.
The Fnst Brigade, commanded by Gen. Abercrom.
bic, is now resting near Dawsonyile.
Many Of the Union farmers complain Of the tyr
amy and inpositions Of persons connected with the
Federal regimental supply trains. They state they
take everything from them in the shape Of fodder,
grain, &C., leaving none for their own stock during
the approaching Winter and if expostulated with,
receive for answer, "Then sell your stock TO the

The health Of this division continues good.
Rumors are current that Gen. Stone will shortly
lead our advance across tie Potomac. The force uu-
der his command has been strengthened largely Of

Private w. L. Myers Of the New York 10th was

conveying heavy baggage for brigade stationed on
the Upper Potomac
The Potomac is now passable at several OF the
fords between the Great Falls and the Point OF
Rocks. The enemy are known TO have largely
augmented force in the vicinity Of Leesburg, but
military authorities are Of the opinion that 1t is only
feint, and that on the first demonstration by our
forces they will back upon the Manassas Gap Rail
road, and thence down to the Junction. No appre-
henson is felt of any attempt their part to cross
the river OF make any serious attack upon us at
