EHn uN1oN GLUE on VIRGINIA..

The Second Ward Union Club of Viz
ginia, held a regular meeting last evening
at their rooms, and resolved hereafter to
keep their rooms open between the hours
of "a. N, and P. N, and and 0 p. ",
for the admission Of members. After the
transaction of some other business, the
doors were opened and the meeting made
public one, and the room which was
pretty well filed previously, was soon
crowded. Mr.. Foster made an Union ad-
dress, and assured the meeting that his
time and money to the extent of his ability,
were at the service of the Union party,
and that he intended to work from now
until the day of election for their success.
Colonel Turner followed in q patriotic and
stirring appeal to the Union men to work
hard and constantly. He announced
Union victory in Storey county that
was won to-day, namely, that the Old
PiEte was vanqmshed, in fact was gone
in" Cheers and tumultuous applause
followed the announcement. "Notwith-
standing Continued hey, $4,000 q de-
posted with the Democrats of Storey
county, they could not raise the wind to
keep the sheet afoat. I cannot refrain
from expressing my qualification at what
was told me by q gentleman who has stood
first in the Democratic party here, and was
by them considered leader. al must
confess (said he) that believe it to be my
duty to my country, even to the South
with whom my sympathies are enlisted,
to vote for Lincoln and Johnson, that the
War may be carried to an end soon, and
not dragged out to an interminable length,
and cause a vast deal more misery and
suffering" 1--WE have every encourage
ment to give our support to the Govern
ment and help to close the war by its
vigorous prosecution. Always previously
the Union majority of Storey county has
been large, and will be still, if the issue is
squarely placed before the people" Col.
Turner proceeded in like strain for some
time, but we have not space to report his
speech in full. He was followed by DR..
Mynneer in & glowing and patriotic ad-
dress, who showed up the Copperhead
proclvities of little Mac" by his letter
of acceptance of the nomination by the
Chicago Convention. W. F. Myers, after
DR.. Mynneer closed, read the dispatch in
the News" announcing the taking of
Brownsville, Texas by Cortinas, which
was received with immense applause.
Judge Hall then made strong Union
address, and urged upon the audience the
importance of the issues before the people
at the coming election. He assured his
hearers that our citizens, of all nationali-
ties, were Union to the core, and that they
would vote for the Union candidates if
they understood the issue presented. He
said further that the election of the Cop
perhead ticket would give JEFF. Davis and
his northern allies the control of the mill
tary forces of this State; and that the
election of Mcclellan as President would
result undoubtedly in his adopting the
principles enunciated in the Chicago plat
form. VIM. Stewart followed in heart
felt Union speech, and stated that the
Union Clubs of Storey county had now
enrolled the names of over 1880 MEM
bers, and that the influence exerted and
votes cast by them would undoubtedly
carry the coming election. He showed
that an armistice such as proposed by the
Copperheads would undoubtedly last a
year, and be just what the South wanted,
and eliminate in the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy. The speeches
were all received with great enthu-
siasm, and the Union men present
showed that they could be in earnest in
their meetings as well as the democrats.
Cheers were given frequently for the
Union, Lincoln and Johnson, and Hon.
Jno. A. Collins made one of his feeling
and passionate appeals, which We report
more fully in another column. After the
conclusion of the speaking the Virginia
Glee Club sang song in their inimitable
style, entitled "The Uuion," which was
unanimously applauded. In fact. the
audience would not rest satisfied until
they had sang another piece. The Glee
Club is composed of Messrs. C. II. Fish,
J. Mcguire, G. Eels and ". L. Card, and
their music viii help to cheer the soldiers
of the Union army through the present
campaign. The meeting adjourned with
cheers for the Union.
