The sO-Called Union Party.

The Radicals affect the name Of Union party.
As an artful, but not unusual strategy, they
assume the name Just at the moment that they
ABANDON the policy indicated by it. What sort
of Union are they in favor OF Not the Union
as i existed before the war not the Union
contemplated by the Constitution. Ii in favor
of any union Of the Southern with the North
ern States, which we seriously doubt, 1t IS a
union based upon conditions not contained in
that Instrument, and not recognized by the
other two coordinate branches of the Govern
ment, the executive and Judiciary. 1t is a
union based upon conditions so manifestly re-
puRnant to the Constitution and common jus
tiee. TO the rights Of the States and the senti-
ments and tastes of the people of the South,
that no President, from WASHINGTON down to
I1Sco1N. would for a moment have given his
sanction TO them. There is not one Of our
former Presidents who, similarly situated,
would not have frowned, as President JOHNSON
does, upon any attempt to make such union,
upon such conditions.
They talk about demonstrating the Union, -
which, being interpreted, means that the
Northern States are to be left, as they all
along have been left, to do as they choose with

The Enrresf Trnnedv.

The Memphis Argus of the 81 instant gives the
following version of the killing of negro by Cen
eral Forrest:
letter has been published from AN. Henderson
Esq, well known citizen of this city, which gives
a detailed account of fatal encounter between
General Forrest and negro man, on ms plantation
in Mississippi. The circumstances are briefly these
The General, on reading ~ some paper that a case
OF Asiatic cholera had occurred recently At mobile,
went TO the negroes, who were in the midst OF a
holiday play, and told them of this case OF cholera,
advising them, at the same time TO drain OIL some
stagnant pools of water in the vicinity. They all
agreed to the propriey of the suggestion, and went
mt the work most cheerfully. At this juncture
Thomas Edwards, negro man who had not been
present during the conversation, came up. The
General explained the matter to him, and advised
him to drain some filthy pools near his quarters.
He did not reply, but passed into his cabin and
menced abusing his own wife, who was confined TO
her bed from brutality previously inflicted she had
been the frequent victim of his violence ever since
they had gone TO the place The General on hear
ing him commence his abuse, walked into the cabin
and after reminding him of his course, told HIM
that he should not beat his wife any more. The ne
gro replied that :. he would be id ii he did not
thrash his wife whenever he pleased; that he did
not care a d--n for General Forrest, and that he
would do as he pleased, ETC., ut the same time as
sumng a threatening attitude and adding insulting
language. Finally the General struck hum over
the head with broom. The negro Immediately
assaulted the General with knife, wounding him
in the hand The General, in self-defence, picked
up an axe which happened to he in the cabin. and
struck Edward over the head with it, killing him
instantly 1t is evident that the General, in defend
ing wife from the violence of a brutal husband,
found himself in position which required that he
should take the life of another TO save his own.-
The negroes on the plantation approved the Gener,
ais conduct He Immediately despatched for all
the citizens in the neighbOrhoOd, being particular
to include Northern men, that they might sit on
the Coroners inquest and the affair be duly inves-
tigated

PORTRAIT or GENERAL LEE.-The very best
steel engraved head of General Lee which we
have seen, is that of Mr.. John A. O'Neill, just
published by MeSSrS. Dexter 4 Son, 564 Broad
way, New York Such picture is desirable
rs none Of the heads so plentiiully sprinkled III
the shop windows come up to the wants of the
public. What was desired was a frst-claS,
steel engraving, of large size, for framing, and
this Mr.. O'NeiIl has produced. The work is
in every point of view, admirable, and the head
may be called, without exaggeration, superb,
The price Of the pictures is five dollars, fol-
artists proofs three dollars for India proofs,
and one dollar for prints, which the publishers
offer to send upon rollers to any address on re-
ceipt of the price.
We advise our friends toprocure the artists
proofs, for whose excellence we can youeh.-
This is one Of the largest and best steel en-
cravings yet produced in the country, and,
apart from the subject, it is fine work Of art.
The likeness is remarkable, and those who
wish the best picture of General Lee yet pub
lished will do well to get this of Mr.. O'Neill.
