At Union Meesting of the citizens of Rich
mond and vicinity, held in Henry Hall, on
Wednesday evening. the 18th instant, Rev. Mr..
LAYTON, Chaplain of the 18th Regiment indi-
ana Volunteers, entertained the audience by
very interesting rehearsal of incidents connected
with the Army Of the Cumberland, and he as
sured his auditors that An awful retribution
awaits traitors at home when those who have re-
inquished all the endearments that they might
aid in preserving our inestimable birthnghs OF .
. free government, shall return to those homes
and neighborhoods which are desecrated by the
vile presence of traitors.
The following preamble and resolutions were
read and unanimously approved. and it Was
voted that = copy should be offered to each OF
the loyal papers of the city of Richmond fur
publication.
WHEREAS, The security of all in their person
and property depends upon the support and
maintenance of our State and National Govern
ments Therefore.
RESOLVED, lst That we are unquali6edly
without any ifs or ands, in favor of the Union,
the whole Union. and nothing BUT the Union.
I'd. That we are now and ever will hold our
selves ready to do al enjoined upon US IS loyal
citizens to support the Administration in crush
ing out this accursed rebellion.
Sd. That we will not pa.ronize in any way
any one who sympathizes with the rebellion.
but W i'll do all in our power to give such free
passage to Dixie. WE can do without them.
4th. That Old Wayne is proud of her able
and ilustrious son, Oliver P. Morton, and her
citizens feel assured that the Government is
safe while such men stand at the helm.
9Th. That in our distinguished Chief Magis-
trate, Abraham Lincoln, we have the fullest
confidence, and have only to suggest to him, =
LITTLE MORE GRAPE!
9Th That to our brothers who are in front Of
the foe, we would send our warmest greetings,
and say that in heart and soul we are with
you.
VIM. E. MCDOWELL offered glowing tribute
of praise to the brave boys in the field, and
thought it a shame and disgrace if the old men
did not take care of the traitors at home. Not
outstanding gray hairs he was ready for action.
John Yaryan was then called up and made .
speech that rang Of the genuine metal. He
advocated home military organization to aid
the proper authorities in the execution of all
laws. He would like to be the convoy Of the
first posse of traitors sent to Dixie under the
late order of General Burnside. He would give
them goodbye to be remembered. The meet,
ing then adjourned to next Tuesday evening, at.
W hich time Colonel Dick Ryan. Hon. Thomas
NJ. Browne, and perhaps other distinguished
speakers will be present. Let all turn out and
swell the crowd. Remember that our country
needs our presence.

Editors Palladium:-Permit me to return
you the thanks of my company as we'll
as my own, for the favors you have
shown US by sending US OH several occa-
sions, packages of the Palladium. assure
you we could receive no more welcome
guest than home journal. breathing moth
ing but patriotic and loyal sentiments which
meets with response in the breast of every
member of my company and The whole re-
giment.
We are all in favor of any measures for
the suppression Of this unholy rebellion, al
though the Copperhead Press and their fol-
lowers say to the contrary. They know
nothing of the principles of pure patriotism
that actuates the men, and the extreme mea.
sures they would shed their blood for in the
restoration of the Union. The many let
ters published in Secesh papers at home,
purporting to come from soldiers now in the
field, are generally looked npon and read as
articles manufactured TO order by some de-
signing and tricky secesh politicians. which
are intended tn work upon the feelings of
the soldiers. Their papers are sent here
for free distribution-we give them to the
boys. and in every instance they throw them
away as they would venomous reptiles.
We are willing to meet an open enemy In
our front; but We despise a secret foe and
traitor at our homes, who are using all the
base and develish means they can invent to
subvert the Government and destroy the
Union. May they soon receive the pun
ishment they SO richly deserve-the penalty
of the law due to all traitors to our Govern
ment. ~ts. -s

meut never was better; we have no men 10

GooD.-When at Indianapolis, the other
day. We were told that, st a party given by
q Union lady of that city recently. 8 female
woman. who was an expert performer on
the piano. as we'll as . blackhearted rebel
sympathizer, was solicited to sing and play.
She complied. and having provided hsrseli
with a rebel song. in anticipation Of having
her services brought into requisition. she
commenced singing aud playing it.; when
the lady of the house compelled her to de-
sist. remarking that she would not quietly
submit to having her guests thus insulied.
Good say We. Notwithstanding q supper

from his own paper. Whether our courss
caused the destruction of his establishment
we do not know; but OF one thing we are
sure, our sole object was to dissuade every
loyal man. woman and child not to patron
ize him in any shape or form, as long as he
continued to fill his paper with curses and
abuse of every measure instituted by the,
administration, to put down the rebellion.

an instruction among the slaves. but is
perfectly easy about the instruction Of the
masters. He Whites the President and
wishes he was sunk to the bottom of the
ocean. He is wonderfully exercised on the
subject of political preaching. but believes
in Vandyke and the divinity Of slavery. He
talks great deal about the enormous war
debt, and is alarmed at the 'bankrupting'
food of greenbacks. He calls the South
erns gentlemen and the New Englanders
penurious and fanaticsl. He thinks the
soldiers have no right to vote. He doubts
whether Rosecrans was victorious at Muir
freesboro,' and don't care whether he was
or not. You can tell him at a glance in a
crowd around the bulletin board. for the
flash of patriotic joy is absent from his eye,
as the news of brilliant victory is herald
ed from the Army of the Republic, while
the intelligence of defeat draws from him
the exclamation. 'you can nerer subjuga,e
