Mr.. EDIroR - learn BY overland tele-
graph that such party exists. | have been
prepared for everything but this. Conserva
tive Democracy. l can understand, but when
Union is written after Conservative. what are
we to understand? Conservative Union party.
Conservative! Wonder who in thunder is
going to be fooled now or is it anybody but
those who are getting up this grand move? ?
Again ask, Mr. Editor, whatd does it mean!
Is it that this new organization goes for just
a little Union? That must be what's the
matter Their stomach are not yet prepared
for that big Union which Grant and our 9th
er leaders are fighting for. That's too much
Union for a g conservative chap but Con-
servative Union what q nice little thing
that must be. Little children can have 1t for
a plaything in their doll houses, and the old
folks can have it laying around loose In
odd corners, up garnet, out at the barn, or
anywhere except among their gods. 1t is so
convenient too to carry round to show to ra-
ideals of both sides as evidence that one is
with them and again makes such nice
cushion, to place between the possessor and
the fence he is sitting on while whiting and
contriving to get more contracts for furnish
ing soldiers in which shoddy can be substi-
tuted for the genuine article. Yes. that must
be conservative Union. Shoddy Union would
be shorter, more easily written, and would
save in the course of the campaign a mint of
money. ink and type setting. Yes, sir, after
all my questions and writing have arrived
at solution of the problem, ,-Shoddy Union
Party.-and that Convention meets at Chica-
go on the 4th of July not because that day
is the anniversary of the birth of great Ma
ton, but because Shoddy knows how to pro.
duce grand effects from very poor material.
1t is simply more shoddy.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 2S.-Nothing from
Hoods army or our front since yesterday
evening; wires down. Hood made an as
sault on the works at Columbia, south of
Duck river, on Saturday, and was badly re-
pulsed. A small portion of the rebel cav
airy succeeded in crossing Duck river
Hood has made no other development of
his plans. Thus far he has accomplished
nothing further than conscripting some of
his dear friends.
There is no foundation for The rumor of
the evacuation of Johnsonville, except pro-
per preparation for possible contingencies.
The military situation is satisfactory to the
authorities.
The impression gains ground that Hood
will move east across the Chattanooga road,
possibly with hope of accomplishing
something by cooperating with Breckin-
ridge.

aiAe Rebel Congress.


NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-In the rebel House
of Representatives on the 25th, j. 4. Leach,
of North Carolina, offered the following
preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, The unfriendly interference
of citizens of non-slayeholding States with
reserved rights of States, was the cause of
this cruel, bloody and relentless war; and,
whereas, the citizens of the slave States, in
an unguarded moment, under the influ-
ence ofunwise counsels, without mature de-
Liberation as to the fearful consequences,
made the election of Abraham Lincoln the
occasion for precipitating the Confederate
States out of the Union, followed by fear
ful train of consequences; and, whereas,
we, the Representatives of the people. de-
sire to place ourselves fairly before the civ
ilized world as anxious to secure an hon.
orable and permanent peace; therefore,
ResolUed, That any attempt to infringe
upon the reserved rights of the States should
be resisted by all lawful means.
RESOLVED, That when the United States
shall signify its willingness to recognize
these rights, and guarantee us the rights of
property as provided by the Constitution
and laws of Congress, we will agree to treat
for peace OH such terms as may be agreed
upon by commissioners or by States acting
III their sovereign character, and ratified by
majority Of the people, which shall con-
stitute the bond of peace between the North
and the South.
Mr.. Leach sustained these resolutions in
a speech, and then they were voted down
almost unanimously.

Ex-Gov. Pryor Captured--AIIQ Quiet
ON the Potomac.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Rebel ex-G Govern
or Roger A. Pryor serving as private
soldier in the Confederate army, was cap.
tured last Friday by our pickets, while at.
tempting to exchange papers. This wa;
done in retaliation for the recent capture
OF Capt. Burbridge by rebel pickets. Pryor
says Lee issued an order for the return OF
Capt. Burbridge on Saturday, and Pryor
will probably be returned as soon as Bur-
Burbridge has been dismissed the service
for disobeying orders forbidding the ex-
change Of papers, or holding intercourse
with the enemy under any pretext. Pryor
is now in Old Capitol prison.
News from the Army of the Potomac up
to Sunday evening states the usual amount
of picket firing was going on; everything
else quiet. Considerable cannonading and
picket firing in Buffers department.
