A gentleman who reached here last
night, and who was with the Union army
last Saturday and Sunday, says the I'm

An impression prevailed in the army that
the corps of Heintzelman and Sigel were
now in Virginia, and their mission was to
stop the retreat of the rebels.

lost $4,000, insured for 10000. The
foundry and machinery were valued at
$1,000, no insurance. The Cleveland
Block, owned by G. M. Reed, Of Erie,

He was buried this evening with full mil

UNION MEETING.
j. II. s..

The assemblage Of gentlemen from all
parts of the State, on Tuesday last, sur
prised the most ardent friends of the
measure, and surpassed all expectation.-
1t is said by the oldest inhabitants of the
city, and by those of the longest expert
ence, that it far exceeded-in point Of
weight Of character, moral and intellectu-
al, in point of manly status-any meet
ing ever before held in the State, of like
numbers, Gentlemen of eminence in
both political organizations-men who
have been honored for length of years
with the highest offices of the State, came
to this impromptu gathering, 10 council
like brothers in the hour of danger, for
the safety Of the government. 1t was
observed by one OF our citizens-a gen
tleman of great purity of purpose and
dcepfclt patriotism; man of sound
views, n former State Senator, that he
never before behold meeting of his fell
low countrymen convened to consider af-
fairs OF State, of such a pleasing and
hopeful character-that it was void of
selfshness and glowing with the most
fervid love of country. And our esteem
ed friend was not alone in his judgement,
nor in the grateful influences it produced
in his own heart.
Judging from this meeting, what must
we expect the Convention will be, which
is to be held here on the I'd proximo p
II is easy to guess; it will be the largest
and ablest convention ever together in the
State. The occasion will be adequately
met, thank God. A bleeding country
with its imperiled liberties, will evoke by
her cries of distress every one of her 10y
al sons; and defeat parties and soulless
organizations, which took their birth when
venality struck the first spade to open the
way to the burying place of freedom
That "leprous shirt of party"-to Dor
row the eloquent words of Mr.. Stuart,
will be thrown off, and our people will
show themselves the worthy inherilors of
of bequest purchashed with the blood
of their ancestors. Over the door of tho
Peoples Convention should be written in
letters of gold: "None but Patriots en-
ter here" The wriggling and torturous
politician--the man whose tongue is still
polluted with party arguments--who talks
still of party deception; of being faithful
to party, when his country groans with
the weight of the bodies of her youths,
who have fallen the victims of bloody
war, the result only of party strife, sho'd
cleanse himself of his loathsomo disease
before no enters that door

THEN AND NOW.

The first two weeks of the present
month were days Of darkness, doubt and
anxiety to the Republic. The reverses
that overwhelmed our army had caused
a gloom and sadness TO settle over the
land like thick, impeuetrable pail, that
admitted through its sombre folds scarce
a ray of light. But the Lord Of battles,
that makes the clouds and thick darkness
his pavilion, had forsaken us not in the
day of our direst calamity. The enemy,
in tho pride Of his heart, made bold by
his successes, in an evil hour crossed the
fatal Rubicon, to him-the Potomac
and has been caught in the snare of the
fowler.
How now brightcns the eye Of the ma
ton, and how leaps its heart for joy, as
success after success of our gallant army
over q crest-iallen, rapidly retreating but
closely besieged foe is announced on the
swift wings Of the lightning. 1t is time
for rejoicing, for taking fresh courage, fol
renewing our solemn VOW that the Repub
lie must and shall be preserved.
May we not now begin 20 look forward
to the end of this cruel, fratricidal war
and hope and pray that the series of sue
cesses to our arms so gloriously Inaugural
ted and developed during the two weeks
past may continue TO follow each othe
so vigorously and rapidly chat our com
ing Christmas festivities may find ou
gallant heroes, husbands, brothers, father:
and sons returned from the scenes of con
flict to enjoy around the festive board {

happiness never before experienced, ou
country saved, and we nation once more

people?
May propilious Providence speedily

lopged for by millions of anxious patriot
hearts.

THE UNION"

Mr.. EDITOR: The Union Of which
am about to write is not that august I'm
ion of States, to preserve which such n
vast amount of treasure is expended, and
so much blood is split, but that little pa
per Union, which has just come up here
from Grand Haven, under the auspices of
o reverend Editor, the first number of
which was put into my hand few days
ago by friend.
Taking view of one leg of the "rev-
crend editor, as he sits upon his nice
young political war-horse, one would think
him one Of the most gallant champions
for &" the Constitution and the Union " in
all the world, and any loyal man would
most cheerfully bid him God speed. But
on going round his charger, and taking n
view of his other leg, it will appear as
clearly a party, political concern as any
in the country. For instance, several
clauses in his leading editorial represent
him as n good, whole-souled Union man,
ready to exert all his energies for the sup
port of "the Union, the whole Union.
The United States of America, as they
were, so they ought to be-so they must
be, at whatever sacrifice of blood and
treasure"
That is undoubtedly right. That is
just what Democrats have contended for
all along. Give us your hand, brother
Smith; you are a Democrat. A real
truo-bluo Democrat You pledge your
self to "support the administration Of
President Lincoln, believing him TO be
the right man in the right place." Your
right hand again, BROTHER if you please
Go on. Democrats have stood by him
all through his struggle to suppress the
rebellion and save the Union. They have
poured out their treasure like ashes, and
their blood like water to support the
President-without which he would have
sunk under the "pressuro which he said
was upon him, from those abolition hordes
which were pressing him on every side
Yes, and he is now administering the gov.
eminent on true democratic principles,
while all true Democrats say "Amen."
The editor thinks it his "duty, in this
time of our courtry's trial, to sink the
partisan in the patriot, and know only
two classes Of men, loyalists and traitors.
Right again, brother Smith; that is so.
" He that is not for me is against me, and
he that gathereth not with me scattereth
abroad" is as true now, when applied to
the Union and the means Of preserving it,
as it was eighteen hundred years ago,
when applied to the establishment of the
Masters kingdom. Tighten your grasp,
brother, and allow no consideration of par.
ty principles 10 detract from those high

Correspondence of the News.
From the 21st Michigan Regiment.
CAMP Russell, Sept. II, '62.

Editor Grand Haven News:: DEAR
SrK-I write TO lei you know that the
2lst Regiment is located some three miles
to the rear of Covington, Kentucky,
opposite to, and across the Ohio river,
from the Queen City. Our camp is on
high knob, one Of many hundred in this
vicinity, is healthy position, and our
regiment has very little sickness, while
the Wolverine Co., all from your County,
has no representative in the hospital yet.
This region of country is suffering on nc
count of severe drought, by reason of
which the water is quite poor, no rain
having fallen for three months. Business
which has been suspended is again re-
sumed and quite active in Cincinnati
Our forces here probably number loo,.
600, and are strongly fortified. The reb-
els are in force TO the southeast of us,
probably to the number Of 10000, and
an engagement between the two forces is
not probable at any time, the pickets of
each resting within three or four miles of
the other. The news from the east gives
our boys excellent spirits, and the enemy
will meet warm reception whenever they
attempt to advance toward " the land of
the free, and the home of the brave" in
whose plentiful dominions they are striv-
ing to quarter their half famished army.
The men of our regiment have acquired
degree Of military discipline almost as
tonishing TO military men, considering the
short time they have been under drill, and
are quite ready for active service. The
Wolverines in particular, rs soldiers,
are profcients. Much to the credit
of the military authorities intoxicat-
ing liquors are strictly excluded from
camp and town, and have not yet seen
one drunken soldier since arriving in
camp. Too much credit cannot be Civ
ed to Capt Harry c. Albee and Lieut..
Edgar w. Smith, for their continued ef-
forts and almost ceaseless labors in look
ing out for number one, 1. e., the number
one company from old Ottawa, continual
ly contributing to their comfort and there
by endearing themselves to their men " he
in turn will stand by us as long as there
is man Of them left TO oppose this wick
ed and causeless rebellion. BY the way,
Lieut. E. w. Smith and myself was hap
PLY surprised this morning in the receipt
af splendid sword and belt, each, the
gratuitous donation of the boys of our
company. We only regret, that while
we sincerely thank them, VIC can hardly
appreciate so noble generosity, and on
ly hope to prove worthy to carry the no.
bic instruments so generously placed in
our hands and WELD them creditably to
tie patriotic men of our noble old coun-
ty. But, as write, the pickets of our
army are being driven in, and the boom
ing Of distant cannon announces that a
fight is imminent and am admonished
| must close this communication after
briefly rendering the thanks of the regi-
ment to the citizens of Detroit, Toledo,
and Cincinnati for excellent refreshments
furnished US at each of those places; also
the people of Ionia for breakfast before
leaving. G. w. w.
