Eitor Il me Union:
have now been here for three weeks,
close observer Of what has been going
on. In thai tiue, Maj. General BURN
SIDE has arrived, who, for Tie time being,
makes bis headquarters here. Close up
on his heels, his old army corps has fol-
lowed, until more than thirty regiments
have come up, with batteries and all that
usually accompanies an army in the
field. These men are veterans in the
field, and have fought under this patriot
ic General at New bern, Roanoake Island,
and more recently during the Rebel raid
into Maryland and Pennsylvania, These
regiments go forward with their artillery
and stores, TO certain points in the direc-
tion Of Dixie, and at the proper time,
their gallant leader win be with them in
the field. Where they will go, and iolen,
we outsiders are not allowed to know,
and this is all right, but the Rebels will
learn from this army iapeyson where they
are bound for!
General BURNSIDE is live man, a
working man, and one who has the cause
of the Union at heart, the confidence and
esteem of his men, and the good will OF
all who make his acquaintance. He is
an agreeable gentleman, frank, courteous,
and sensible, and makes fine impress
sion upon all who come in contact with
him. He has already inspired degree
of confidence, and of new life into the
loyal ranks here that did not show itself
If indeed it existed, before his arrival.
l was never more astonished than when
he told me, in answer to the question di i.
rectly put, that he would not be 80 years
of age until next MONTH
For the last three weeks, this city has
been thoroughly canvassed by the Union
party, the Union Leagues" holding
their meetings in every ward, in the large
and commOdious halls. In those wards
where have attended, the meetings have
been large, harmonious, and enthusiastic
and my information is, that they have
been so in all the wards The people
have been thoroughly aroused, and fully
instructed upon all the points in the
controversy before them.
The contest has been for the city
offices and for the city rule, which wat
decided on yesterday. The party sympa.

The COpperheads, as they are called
