CALLING NAMES.

In discussing the question OF Union
party in Virginia, our neiehbor,-th
Norfolk Day Book,--indulges in very
btterlanguage. Wequote the following
from its editorial of Tuesday evening
This insignificant band is made up of
the cotton men and camp followers of
the Federal army, who, trusting to the
naagnanin,ity of OUR PEOPLE, have ven-
tured to settle upon OUR SOIL, and pur-
pose if permitted, to carry on their ne
farious practices in the future as they
have done, SO successfully, in the past.
We are told that movement is now
on foOtin Richmond to organize ali "un-
conditional Union party" and the hope
is expressed thatit will be made up Of
'uncompromising elements"
1t is high time that the people of the
taught them by the results of war.
III. in accordance with the advice of
the gallant Wise ,aVe had haze taken the
old Star Spangled Banner, and fought
under it "in the Union" we should
have this day had an undivided country
and the true lovers of the Union would
now be in possession of the Government.
Let us not again be deluded. Let the
real Union men of the South rally
around President johnson and ii the
Radicals persist in making war upon
him and the reunion ofthese States let
them be kicked out In the cold, and
,llew Sumner and Stevens on the race
of djsunion. \
Assuredly, we may look for a broken
down currency, divided nation, war
of races, and the utter humiliation Of
| business in all sections of our land.
Norfolk Day Book, Of Tuesday.
THE FEELING IN TENNEssEE.-Re
preventative Farnsworth of Illinois is
holding correspondence with two of
the union members of the lower house
Of the Tennessee Legislature. From one
of the letters which lie has lately re-
ceived the following extract is made :
tThe defiant spirit of the rebels is. in
creasng in this State, and by come of
| them Mr.. Seward is denounced as guilty
of treason. hope our delegation will
not be admitted to Congress till the Leg
islature and the people agree to do JUS
tce to all men, otherwise the cOlored
people and the loyal whites will be
crushed to the wall.n Another letter
says: "Our people are still insulted and
spit upon in many communities of Mid
! die Tennessee, because they were true to
the Union during the war. 1t will be
necessary to keep a considerable mill
| tary force here for some time. May
nard, Stokes, Taylor aud Fowler would
help us il they could be admitted into
others Of their views sRoaaaiaa nef &c ad
mitted at all, and SO the whole delega-
ton must be kept out" From still an
other letter this is extracted: "You
| will see by the vote yesterday that we
stand Al to 2a against the Immediate adj
mission of our congressiOna! delegation,
Excuse me for repeating that we are
lost if the republican party deserts us
now. l think we shall soon have to
give the vote t., the colOred man, for we
must i'm some way dsarm the rebels.
We must numerically kill them, or keep
the South under military rule"

The Raleigh Standard says: 20
| The only real friends the President
has in this State, who will stand by him
| under all circumstances, are the "strait-
est sectp Union men, and those private
soldiers and original secessiOnists who
have submitted in good faith to the ma
tionaI authority. Among the original
secessionists referred to are a few ex-
| Confederate military officers, but the
great body of the officers, together witt
| the latter day war men and the original
| secession leaders, cannot be relied upon
as friends of the President in the day Of
trial.
