have driven the enemy entirely from the val

have followed up such a victory with decisive

THE UNION IN OHIo.-The proposition to
lay aside party entirely, in the state election
this fall and rally unitedly to the support OF
the Government and the suppression OF the
rebellion which threatens its existence, meets
with the hearty response OF the people, From
the lake to the Ohio the honest and patriotic
masses will rally under no other flag but the
Union, and republicans, democrats and Ameri-
cans vie with each other to be first to strike
hands for our common country. Old issues are
discarded, and old party leaders who show the
slightest sympathy with rebels, will be swept
away as chatf by the breath of popular indig-
nation. The call for Union state convention
is gladly hailed by men of all former political
persuasions, and at least four hundred thou
sand voters in Ohio would sign and seal it,
could the opportunity be afforded them. While
all parties stand shoulder to shoulder in bear
ing the cartridgebox, there ought not, there

The Ho.ton Banks take s1O.OOO.OOO orthe

From the Boston Evening transcript.
The Boston banks held meeting Saturday,
at the Clearing House, to consider the question
of endorsing the action of their committee at
the New York bank consultation. Mr.. Carney
of the Bank of Mutual Redemption moved that
the banks of this city accept so much o. the
New York programme as to subscribe Sl0,000~
900 toward the government loan. Mr.. Hall
of the National Bank suggested that this was
the just proportion of Boston. Mr.. Haven of
the Merchants Bank remarked that the banks
of Providence, Hartford, and other New
England cities would probably make up the
amount to the Sl5,000,0 900 apportioned to this
city at the New York meeting. The motion
to take Sl0,000000 passed unanimously.
Hon. VIM. Gray said that he should com.
municate the result OF the deliberation of this
meeting to the New York committee, and then
his functions as a member Of the committee
of the banks here would end, aud lie should
not probably meet the bank representatives
again. But he wished to say, before leaving,
that the situation Of the country, so far as the
government was concerned as deduced from
reliable information, was peculiar. 1t could
not be denied that the departments at Wash.
ington do not respond as readily to the will
of the people as they should. There is great
doubt whether that singlenesS of purpose exists
and efficient action is secured which The times
demand. 1t is nearly certain that the cabinet
is not unit The banks, having responded
so periodically in furnishing money to carry
on the war, have the right to advise those
trusted with its expenditure, and upon whom
the whole management of affairs depends. Mr..
Gray suggested the expression of some opinion
on the part OF the banks and the appointment
of a committee to acquaint the president with
their sentiments.
On motion Of Mr. G. B. Hall, the thanks Cf
the meeting were unanimously presented to
Mr. Gray, for his valuable services in repre-
senting the Boston banks. 10 carry out Mr..
Gray's idea, on motion of Mr., Valley OF the
Revere Bank the banks resolved. without a
dissenting voice, that they cordially respond
to the sentiments OF tue New York banks in
tue confident expectation that the government
will, without respect to party or personal con-
siderations, SO conduct its affairs in every de-
partment of administration, as to insure vigor,
integrity, economy and efficiency to the tri-
umphant termination of the war
The following named gentlemen were chosen
to communicate the opinion of the Boston
banks to the PRESIDENT VIM. Gray,
VIM. L. Andrews of the City Bank, and An
drew L. Hall of the fremont Bank.

TEMPERANCE LECTURE.-The lecture of
Rev. Mr.. Dadmun, at the Park street church,
last evening, on the subject of temperance, was
listened to by crowded and gratitied audi
ence. He took for his text, Lev. 1917 ::
"Thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor,
and not suffer sin upon him" The discourse
was an able and effective one, taking strong
and thorough ground, defining the duties OF
Temperance men in this crisis. lie urged en-
tire abstinence from all kinds of strong drink,
as the only sure preventive of the evils OF in
Temperance, and advocated the most stringent
measures for the suppression of the traffic IN

Pearl street, Saturday, between II and

who stood at his own door near the Pearl
street House, the news-to which he replied
the rebels had taken Siegel and his army, and
that he was glad of it. He then added many
curses upon our government and wished for
the success of the rebels. Said |, "Then YOU

"Well, I" replied. Il think it is time to begin

the rebels as this citizen of Boston did against
the Union, his mouth would soon be shut.

THE FIFTEENTH REGIMENT.

Washington, August IA, 1861.
While in Philadelphia, we heard
there had been some trouble in Baltimore the
day before, and wishing to be prepared, our
officers thought it advisable to be OH the alert,
and we were all furnished with tw enty rounds
of cartridges before leaving Philadelphia. We
arrived in Baltimore Just at dark, and at once
marched to Exeter street, formed in line, and
loaded our pieces amid crowds Of sullen faces,
and then took up our march through the city
to the Washington station We atterward
heard the street where we loaded our pieces
was the hot bed of "seseshers." We remained
at the depot till about midnight, but saw no
signs OF an outbreak, although we made the
vicinity ring with the John BroNtn "Glory
Hallelujah," and kindred songs
Our regiment receives many compliments
from all quarters, and some have had the au-
dacty to say that we are the best looking and
best sized regiment OF volunteers that has
arrived here. l visited several Of the neigh
boring camps yesterday, and at the New York
ninth they expressed much surprise that the
Old Bay State had turned out $50 many, and
such splendid regiments" and the other regi-
ments spoke of the fine appearance the if.
tenth made marching into camp. The Mass

utaton, and it becomes US to preserve it, as
trust we shall. We desired to be in Gen.
Bank S division but while we are under the
gallant Mcclellan, and are sure of being in
active quarters, we are entirely satisfied, and
shall endeavor to answer the call of duty.
The weather here has thus far been quite as
cool as at Worcester and the nights much
more so. The boys are all well. C. C. N.
