The Union We Want.

Captious demagogues and fault finding ne VS.
papers are insultingly inquiring of loyal men,
devoted to the Union OF these States, what
kind of Union they want. We think that we
can answer for all true hearted Union men.
We do not want a Union distracted by
sectional hates and jeaousies and struggles for
supremacy. We DO aot want Union char
acterized by South Carolina notifications, by
Mississippi repudiations. Alabama lynchings,
Virginia ideas of State Rights, Lecompton
Constitutions, Kansas highway robberies,
House of Representatives fsticuffs, Senate
Chamber cudgeings, Border State wars, or
John Brown raids We do not want Union
that is incompatible with liberty of speech and
thought We do ut want Union IN portion
of which a man, resident or travelling, cannot
speak, nor even privately cherish an opinion
for or against slavery, or any moral OF social
question that has arisen or may arise, without
being exposed TO imprisonment or q violent
death, as has been the case in the South. We
do do not want Union in which a men 5
birthplace either north or south of a given line,
dsqualifes him for an office of high trust We
do not want Union in which portion Of the
people shall be laying up arms and drilling a
soldlery, in evident and express preparation for
the battles of diSunion. Rather, if it please
the curious and inquisitye we want Union
as it was during the first half century Of our
national existence, when every man was allowed
to quietly own and peaceably dispose of what
he might hold under the Constitution. We
want Union in which, when one party is
beaten at the ballot box fairly and under the
forms of law, all parties will gracefully bow TO
the will of the majority, and, if wronged in the
selection of rulers, seek their remedy at the
ballot-box in future contests. 10 a word we
want Union in which we shall have the
harmony and uniformity of other days-a
uniformity based upon the great principles
Of the Constitution.
This is the Union We are fighting for, and
We intend to have it, or exterminate every
rebel South, ard every Copperhead North

The Scene of Sherman's Operations.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial. writing from the battlefield Of Resaca, In
Georgia under date of May 10th. SAYS:
| was led to believe by reports of persons
and deserters that the railways OF the South,
and especially the road running from Atlanta
TO the front were in a wretched state of repair
But such is Dot the case. The road from
Resaca to Ringgold is not equaled by any road
south OF the Ohio. except that Of the Memphis
and Charleston line. What seems little
strange is TIE fact that as the enemy took the
back track, not 8 rail was disturbed nor the
slightest injury Inflicted to any part of the line
The rolling stock was all run of and the naked
track left uuiuiured. Prominent officers cap
tured, with whom | have conversed, assert that
the reason the road was not disturbed is that
the enemy expects TO drive back Sherman and
recover the country now placed at his mercy
From Ringgold to ReSaca the country is
much broken by hills. Cstossa Valley. stretch
ing from Ii ookers Gap to Buzzard Roost Gap
is very fertile and well w.tered, but has never
been much cultivated 4 few farms are found
occupied By poor Union families who prefer
ring our rule to that Of Davis, have remained
in squalid poverty, 10 exc out a miserable
existence, until peace once more showers its
blessings, for three years denied, upon them.
On the left of Rocky Face, in Crow Valley,
splendid farms are found, and large portions Of
them are robed in mantles of green, which n
few weeks will give back bountiul return
for the labor of planting.
Leaving Dalton in the rear, we strike large
country bounded Oh the west by the Chatta-
nooga Mountains, and on the east by the
waters of the Os,euaula 1t extends from
Dalton TO the confluence Of Snake Creek with
the Ostenaula, two miles below Resaca. This
is known as Sugar Valley, and is the scene of
the victory which we have just achieved over
the enemy. The valley has but few cultivated
farms, as it is much broken by hills, and the
soil is inferior 70 other portions of the country
over which we have passed.
The people who remain are principally the
poorer classes, in whose hearts the embers of
Unionism slumbered for three long years, to
burst out anew when famed into life by the
healthy breezeS that invariably follow the army
Of the Union. Here, however, we do not find
the same expression OF confidence that is
everywhere apparent in East Tennessee. The
men are all absent, and the inhabitants consist
almost entirely of women and children who
live, God only knows how.

preparations Of jute are now introduced into
fine goods, such as ladies dresses, cravats,
trouserings. waistcoat pieces, and other sorts;
and that India produces the raw material in
such prodigious quantities that jute famine
is not to be feared. If this use OF jute goes on

THE Descendants OF REVOLUTIONARY
ToRIEs.-The peculiar vindictiveDess which
has been manifested in the British Provinces
of New Brunswick aud Nova Scotia toward
this country. and the sympathy for the rebellion,
which far surpaSSes anything of the kind in
other parts of the British empire, has often
excited remark. The matter may be explained
by recurring to the early history of this country
When the delegates at Paris in 1872. were
discussing with the Commissioners of the
British Government the terms of peace an
effort was made by the latter to secure the
annuling of all Acts con6scating the estates OF
the Tories. But Jay aud Franklin positively
refused to acquesce in such provision. The
result was that large number of the Tories
were eXpatriated. But few were left behind
and they were of the poorer class, who were
unable TO emigrate. Most of the Tory emf
grants settled in New Brunswick. nud so great
were their numbers that they formed large
proportion OF the population. Many of the old
Dutch names which were common in the
valleys on the Hudson aud Mohawk are to be
found in the Eastern British Provinces Hatred
to free America has been handed down in these
families; they are the descendants of the
Tories of the Revolution. and it is not strange
that they are friendly TO the rebeious slave
holders. 1t is a curious fact that the term
"Copperhead was first applied in this country
to the posterty of these same Tories The
Arostook country in Maine was largely colon.
lied by emigrants from Nova Scotia aud New
Brunswick. ln 1862, the authorities of Maine
had resolved upon draft to recruit the Army
of the Potomac. The inhabitants of the eastern
counties of the State, who were sympathizers
with the rebellion, FASTENED to leave for the
Provinces, and were denominated by those
citizens who desPised their conduct Copper
heads" The epithet has since become common
to politicians and others who evnce like sym

nothing of the character of Colonel Uric
