UNION ORGANIZATIONS IN Our

In the Autumn of 1861, there was issued a
call for a Peoples or Union State Convention at
Syracuse 1t was held and State ticket pre-
sented, which, with the exception of single
name was ratified by the Republican State Con
vantion, and elected by over One Hundred
Thousand majority The Office with regard to
which the two tickets differed was thereby given
up to the common adversary.
In the CITY OF Ncw-Yor!, in the same year, q
Peoples Union Committee was organized, OF
which Charles n. Marshall was Chairman, to act
in sympathy with the state movement. =
This was the first ard only Union General
Committee organized in the City of New-York.
1t has regularly kept up its organization, and
has sent delegates to the Union State Conven-
tons in each year since 1861.
Other Union Committees have been since
formed, under slight variations of name, and
some four or five now exist in this city.
We are approaching a very important crisis
in public affairs, and it is very desirable that al
Unos organizations, having the public welfare
in view, should unite in a common effort to Sc
cure q fair and equal representation of the
Union Electors Of the City in the coming state
Convention. Unless this be done, and effect
ually and speedily done, it is vain to look for
any increase in the Union vote at the coming
election. With united organization, an equal
ity of representation from the people, unity
Of action in the Conventions and at the polls,
this City can probably be redeemed.
We understand that, in accordance with O
recommendation of the last State Union Con
yention, an earnest effort has been made to unite
the several Union organizations in this City.
This movement has resulted Savorably, so far a
three committees are concerned. These will
unite in sending delegates to Syracuse to repre-
sent the Union electors of this City.
few months ago, that General COMMITTEE
which had always hitherto styled itself and
been styled Republican saw BIT TO change Its
name to Union, ignoring entirely the Union
/ Committee already in existence. This old Re
publican aud la..sr-day Union Committee now
claims the exclusive control Of the Union party
machinery of our City, and demands that it.
nominees or those whom its Ward Inspectors
have commissioned, shall exclusively represent
our City in the State Convention TO be held al
4 Syracuse on Wednesday. We trust that
Convention will decide that oil the Unior
electors Of our City, and not part only, shall
have voice in its deliberations.

We have some new and interesting disclosures
AZ to the cause of Garibadi'S sudden departure
from England. A friend of the General, Mr..
Shaen, stated at a public meeting held on the
9TH Of May in London, that Mr.. Gladstone had
expressed to Gen. Garbadi the wish Of the
English Government that he should leave En-
gland; that after this wish had been expressed
to tho General ho was still requested by the
Earl of Shaftesbury to declare publicly that he
left England on account Of his health, and that
Garibaldi replied to this request "My lord,
cannot tell le." Mr.. Gladstone, in an inter-

ascribcd to him. Mr.. Shaen, in reply, admitted
that his former statements were not all derived
from the Generals own lips, but from another OF
his friends. At the same time he declared him.
self also prepared to say that Garibaldi was him.
self under the impression, and remained SO up to
the time he left England, that tho Government
wished him TO leave; and that Garibaldi so ex.
pressed himself TO him (Mr. Shaen) and to all
his friends. This latter point appears, there.
fore, to DO now settled beyond any further dis.

him to cut short his visit as ON expression of
tho wish of the English Government for him to
leave England. His advisers knew this. and
yet did nothing to correct tho Generals impress.

The Indian Chiefs at the Capital.

Iae Andian Cnlels al tne NdPlsai'
The delegation Of ofseveralchiefs and braves,
'ofthe Chippewa Indians, who recently passed
through here, have arrived at Washington.
Their errand is said to have been to sign
treaty with Secretary Usher. On arriving
at the capital they seem to have dressed and
painted themsel, es In their best style, and,
they attracted no little attention, painted and
plamed and. Carrying huge tonahawk pipes
Hole in eiDay was anxiously inquiring,
for the "Great WARRIOR Gen. Grant: The
Washington Chronicle gives the following
account Of them: ~ II.
- '"Thsse Indians seem to be stupeEcd with.
amazement at the (to them) wonderful
sights that rise up before them wherever
they turn their steps. They arc very Uni
conlmunicative-the least SO in act, tho
interpreters tell US, Of any Indians whom
they have known. Occasionally, however,
they perpetratea dry joke among themselves
as will be seen BY the following: When
visiting: the Capitol, they were shown tho
ditfe' eat luxurious]y furnished rooms; and
one said to another, who had boas.cd that
he would clear clear out the pale face See
here your reon:' The remainer Of the party,

satisfaction with this hard thrust at the

they exclaimed, Ugh! Shaw won day sec

r ':beiore making the trip to Washington,
they had not the Slightest idea. that there
existed thousndth part as many pale faces
as they have already seen. Like most ig.
horant people, they supposed themselves
the mishtiest tribe upon thc earth. When
the treaty was made with them, they at
first dcmandeI that the President should

theTdignity Of mighty race like themselves

them at length concented to the treaty stip.

They are to receive S 100000, to be applyed
to the payment Of claims against them for
