Union Gala In PhilndeIp11{n.

The Union men Of Philadelphia had another
grand Union gala night, on Thursday evening
last. Rt. Rev. Bishop Potter presided, and
the sterling population Of Philadelphia did
honor TO the occasion. The audience was an
enormous one. After the delivery Of lee
ture By Prof Amasa Mccoy, the audience,
accompanied by 4 band Of music, proceeded
in body to the Continental Hotel to seren-
ade Hon. Andy johnson, Of Tennessee, Hon.
1Icndrlck B. Wright Of Pennsylvania and Sen
ator Wright Of Indiana. The band gaye scye-
raj patriotic airs, when the Immense gathcr-
Ing in front Of the Continental was addressed
successfully By the two Wrights. Senator
Wright gaYe the following piece Of history
during his speech:
The speaker then alluded in humorous

Lewis Cass, Of Michigan, {cheers) Was our
Minister then at the Court of Louis Phillfppi,
King Of France. In those days they had no
OCEAN steamers, and sailing, vessels carried the
news. The latest news that had arrived in
France was TINT the keystone State was in
revolt, that the cannon had been brought ont
and the citizens fired upon that the State
WAS in rebellion. It is said that at 1eyee Of
| the King Gen. Cass was rather late. At last
he came in. and the King asked him what
news he lad from America None since the
| last vessel, replied Gen. Cass. Then the King
asked him what he thought he could say would
be the result Of the difficulty. Gen. Cass re-
joined that he thought that he could then say
"that the conspirators were being taken be-
fore justices OF the peace and fined three dol
| lars each for assault and battery" Laughter
and applause.1
After hearty cheers and more music, the

From the St. Louis Dea) Republican, 1ath.l
4 studied efortis being made BY the South
ern press to manufacture faith in the
bosoms Of the remaining Secessionists Of Mis-
souri, that something is about to be done by
the Confederates to conquer and hold this
State. It appears that Gen. Sterling Price has
been to Richmond, where he has succeeded in
getting m order assigning him to command
west Of the Mississippi, and it is said he is
now ut jackson or Vlckeburg, Mississippi, en-
route to Arkansas to supersede Gen. Holmes.
THIS is some Of the doings Of the preteudcr,
Governor r.. c.. Reynolds. whose recent
"addrees" We hare published in these
columns. The rebels have for q
long time been about to do won
ders for the "relief Of Missouri The anx-
ious eecesh h.ve been told to wait, wait, keen
waiting, as movements we're on the ere Of
being made which would hare some great and
startling effect. The assignment Of Price to
Holmes late command, Is one Of the tricks
resortcd to for the purpose Of bo1stcring up
the rebel sentiment here.
There is no probability that there will ever
be another INVASION Of Missouri By the enemy.
That the number Of troops required for this
object will be taken away from Vicksburg,
aud Price invested with an Independent force
suitable TO bill rank and the ability he pos
sesses, is absurd md preposterous. It Is uni
yeFea1ly admitted at the South that, in point

Last week, dcserter from the 77th arrived
at his home in this city, after much doubling
and twisting, and many a weary and dreary
walk to avoid being captured: He was mar
ricd only the week previous to his regiment
leaving Camp Peoria, and Of course. after
brushing up little, one Of his first calls was
upon bis bride. The news, however, Of his

and that the Directory under the act passed

at Rochester.
II seems that the 1and speculation is reviv-
ing. Tic Democrat says that many valuable
farms have changed hands recently at good
prices, and that the large number Of persons
from other States, now seeking to purchase
improved farms In Southern Minnesota re-
actions In real estate are nov Of daily occur
renee at greatly improved prices.
The Postmaster General has changed the
name and site Of the Oak Post Office, stearns

ARA1LRoAD TO ST. CLOUD THIS FALL.
Hon. Edmund Rice, President Of the st.
Paul and Pacific Railroad Company, states il
card published in the St. Baul papers, March
6, 1868, that the Company have all the ar
ranCtments made that are necessary to com
plcte the road rs far as st. Cloud during the
summer, and that it is the purpose Of tut
Company to continue the construction O.
their branch road to Crow Wing, and thence

are far behind the Federa1s, and this fact IL
also contested by their unwillinGne55 to come
out from their entertainments.
Already We hare good reasons, aside from re-
Gently published reports, for believing that the
question of the evacuation Of that stronghold
hos been seriously 1nooted By the rebels. It
il believed that they will resreat to Grenada
and eventually to Columbus, Ca, which latter
is now being strongly fortified. Sucha course
would be IN abandonment Of the Mississippi
River. Il would also involve, in our Judgment,
the surrender of the whole territory, including
Arkansas. west ot that stream. So that the
return Of Gen. Price, with anything like for
mIdable army, to Missouri, will depend upon
the result at Vicksburg. and will not In all
probability receive any final consideration at
the hands of the Confederate authorities until
that matter is definitely settled. We must
look with suspicion upon the blowing" and
"gassing'' Of the Southern press In reference
to the designs Of Gen. Price. The rebels are
not in the habit Of giving such publicity and
| notoriety to their real projected enterprises.

The announcement Of the improved con-
dition Of Gen. Grants army, conveyed in
tile letter of James E. Yeatman, of the st.
Louis Sanitary Commission, printed here
with, will give great satisfaction in tho
Northwest, whence the gallant fellows be-
fore Vicksburg were drawn. But we en-
treat the relations and friends of those SOL
diczs everywhere to abate nothing Of effort
Tor their comfort in sickness and health,
Their heroism and devotion are worthy Of
our highest praise, and that can be best
manifested in kindly and generous acts.

All sensible men with respectable know
ledge Of recent and passing events have
the conviction that our nationality may be
preserved without slavery, and that if it is
destroyed, slavery goes with it. We hare.
then, only to choose between the Union
without slavery and a condition of things
indcscribab1e in words, in which there will
be neither nationality, Union nor slavery,
unless the latter is the lot of white men
now free. In such case, who can hesi-
tate, and what should be the punishment
Of the indictments who give their influ-
cnce to anarchy?

THE POLITICAL CONDITION OF
RESSHA.

EV1x11HIAA IVNUxI1ON 0F
RUSSIA.
The uprising in Poland naturally directs
attention to the political condition Of Rus
sia. We should be rccreant to all our
principles as republicans, If We failed to
eympathise with any energetic moycmentin in
such country as Poland for the assertion
Of its nationality, liberty and indepen-
dence- There are, indeed, many things in
Polish history, and in the circumstances of
that nation, which render doubtful the re-
suits Of its revolutionary efforts, at least SO
far as ciril liberty and stable government
are concerned. But Of these we shall now
say nothing, and shall only rejoice if Po-
Hsh patriotism and al enlightened love Of
liberty overcome the old vices Of the race
and the religious system by which both
national existence and personal hber-
II hare more than once been destroyed.
In the meantime, our good wishes for
the countrynen and descendants Of Kosci-
usko, Pulaski, Poniatowski aud Skryznecki
must not blind us to the altered state of
things in Russia. We shall greatly mis-
take the facts Of the case If re fail to per
ceiye that the Russia Of to-day is very diff:
fcrent from the Russia Of 1850 as well as
of 1850. II we mistake not the signs Of
the times, revolution, compared to which
the Polish instruction is Of small account,
or one Of its nntural pulsations, is now
rocking the gigantic mass Of the Russian
population, and promising to infusc into it
a new life, and bestow upon it new and
greatly improved forms Of social organiza-
ton and civil government.
The abolition Of serfdom IA mild form Of
slavery compared with the American tsin-
sntution) Is only one Of the signs, or
1a!aer one Of The consequences, Of Russian
leiofm-an assurance TINT there ia Rms
sian people whose existence can MT ba
ignored, and also that the rulers of that
Empire, who have SO long Eloried in +he
title Of ~Autoerat," have become conscious
Of higher law than their own arbitrar,
wM-evcn the rights, interests, aud aspirs
tions Of tho people. Wemight indeed say
looking merely at the emancipation Of s,
many millions Of serfs, that never befor
Ind human freedom gained such advanta
ges and taken such stride forward. Til
Emperor himself strikes off tile shaclSle
Of slavery, and the MOBILES who had bel
tEcm IN bondnge, if they do nj
themselves assist in the work {
liberation, are compelled to stan
by without Interference, whilst ii
