Our paper is replete with good news to-
day. from home and abroad. Good news
comes to US from Washington, from BnIti-
more, from New York, and from most
everywhere else. The Government is
moving silently but strongly aud majes-
tically down upon secession. Its foot
comes down firm and heavy ut every
point. It's army is daily increasing-its
monied resources are iliimitable-its navy
is Swnrming at the mouths of all the
bloekaded ports-its agents are ubiquit-
ous-its people enthusiastically united--
and soon, very soon, it will strike the
blow that will fell the traitors to the
earth. At Richmond they are getting
scared. They see hope daily vanishing.
They see the great North united as one
man. They see the Capital safe They
see Alexandria and Norfolk doomed
They see Harper's Ferry being deserted by
tho State troops, aud they see Baltimore
not ouly willing but anxious to have the
Federal troops pass through it. Naturally
enough then, seeing all these things, the

The Union meeting at the Court House,
ON Saturday afternoon, was something that
can speak for itself. 1t needs no hosan-
uHhs from US, 1t was seen, we presume,
by the vast majority of our people, and to
them it will speak IL language that mere
words could not indicate. To know its
character, Its power, its feeling, its deter
minHtion it had to be seen and mingled
With. The first men Of tho city and the
county composed it. The merchants, the
mechanics, the manufacturers, and the
farmers were there, and from them all
there went up but one voice, and that voice
was for the Uuiou, the Constitution, and
the ever glorious aag-the stars and
atrIpes-Ihat waved over them. There
was no standing ground for secession in
that meeting, 1t was Union all over and
allthrouEh. The responses of the people,
deep, bold and hearty, to the most telling
points Of the speakers, indicated tho temper
of their minds. II Letcher and his co.
usurpers could have seen the feeling of
this city and this county as manifested on
Saturday, they would never dream of see.
