The Memphis union appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1862-1862, 1862-07-03

A NUMBER of the friends of "prompt ac-
ton" living in Henrico, have indicated their
idea of what Virginia should do in the pre-
from their projects by the victories Of ouI
armies. Raised again in 1901, the papacy was
once more overthrown in 1909; in 1914 it
owed its existence to Napoleon, for it is very
doubtful if the captivity of Plus VII. had been
prolonged, whether the Holy Alliance would
have restored to him all his States in 1917,
two Italian sovereigns came toan understand
ing for the partition of the Pontifcal States,
and the combination failed by the succeeding
revolutions of the Roman States, which threw
the Kings into the arms of the priesthood.
The temporal power, overthrown in 1S4s, and
restored in 1849, is now nothing more, as
proved by the dispatches of II. de Grammont,
than an embarrassment for every one than an
element of counter-revolution, than a Enonu-
ment of ingratitCde. 1t was owing to the
French Army that the Pope was able to re-
| turn to Rome in 1s49; it is by the French
Army that he has maintained himself there for
eleven years, and Rome is nothing else than q
focus of intrigues and conspiracies against
France In dispatch, FEB. 8, 1852 very
moderate, very curious, and in every respect
most remarkable, ii. Thouvenel establishes
the fact that the Pontihcal Court has failed in
all its engagements, in every diplomatic usage;
that it has Systematically mixed up religion;
with political questions, refused all conces
sins, all reform, and "allowed the state o.
things to get worse, to that degree, when the
malady often becomes irremediable.' La
PreSse.

The Pacific Railroad.

The bin passed on Wednesday obliges the
Union Pacific Railroad Company" to organ
ize an choose officers within three months and
to open subscription books. When two thou
sane shares are subscribed and ten thousand
dollars paid in, the stockholders are to organ
ize; and the present commissioners, of whom
a great number are named, cease to have any
power.
The company is to have alternate quarter
sections of land along the line of the road, but
all that is not sold of this land in three years
after the road is finished is to be open TO pre-
emption, at the rate of 81, rs per acre The
government also agrees to aid the road by It's
bonds to the amount of sixteen thousand dol
lars per mile, to be Issued, however, only when
section of forty miles is completed and
equipped, and in running order; and after
ward for other like sections. These bonds are
to be redeemed in thirty years, but by tho
company, whose road is mortgaged to the gov
eminent to secure that. At least five per cent
Of the net earnings of the road to be set apart
to be applied to the payment of the bonds.
The company is to locate the road within
two yeare, and to complete it within twelve
years, or by the year 1874.

TEE CoNTRABANDs AT NoRFoLK.-The
contraband question witt create trouble
here shortly, as the country is swarming
with runaway slaves. Their masters can't re-
claim them, and the government does nothing
for them. We have great many in our
camp and they are very useful and save the
men good deal of work. They carry water,
cat wood, clean the camp, and make them
selves useful 10 thousand ways. The boys
pay them little, give them their old clothes
and plenty to eat and Cufy is contented. But
about the unemployed ones Many of them
have given valuable information to our OFF,
GERS, some being used as guides and pilots.
When the officers get all they want out of the
poor negroes they tern them adrift. 1t is use
less to talk about returning them to their
masters, for the soldiers are all turning aboli-
tionists. They say they did not come here to
catch niggers nor did we. / came here pro-
slavery Democrat, and am one no longer. If
the war lasts much longer shall be an abolI-
zionist of the Massachusetts, stripe; and
shall not be alone III this, as all the men in
our regiment say that the rebels call us aboli-
tionists, and that we might as well have the
game as the name
