To THE LADIES OF RIcHNoSD.-The police
force, under Major Claiborne, is now COM
pletely organized, and doing "A good work in
preserving the peace of the city. 1t is pro-
posed TO have the entire force clad in hand
some uniform of dark blue, for which the men
expect to pay themselves; but their remu-
neration is small it Is desirable TO give them
some aid in carrying out the project. The
cloth for each uniform can be purchased for
twenty four dollars, and if the city or any
company of citizens will advance the money,
the men can return the amount In two or
three instalments. To save them any addi-
tional expense in making up, the ladies are
invited to lend their aid and, with this object
in view, all who are willing to contribute their
labor are requested TO leave their names at an
early day at the office of the Chief OF Police.
If the ladies can be induced to take hoid OF
this work, the whole force may be clad III 4
neat and serviceable uniform within two or
three weeks. Many of these men were soldiers
in the Confederate army, and many have been
out of business from the period Of the evacua-
ton up TO the time when they entered the
service of the city policemen. They are
doing their duty faithfully, and certainly de-
serve encouragement. We therefore urge the
ladies to lend their aid cheerfully, and they
will receive their reward in the conscious
ness of having performed a good work for
body of men upon whose zeal, faithfulness
and energy the safety of the city, in great
measure, depends

The New Cry of Rebellion.

We last week called the attention
of our readers to the thre9t of civil
war uttered by Pondleton at Read
ing, unless the people will consent to
elect him and his rebel friends to
high offices and power Montgome-
ry Blair made q speech upon the
same occasion, and uttered the same
threat Of civil war. 1t is thought
to be safe to talk treason in Berks
County, and the occasion seems to
haYe been seized upon to sound the
key-aote of the coming campaign
We see from the papers, speeches
and actions of the rebels South that
they too are again threatening a
second civil war unless they can be
permitted again to control the des-
TIMES of this great nation. The
course of the President has tended
to rouse up this spirit at the South;
these men, late rebels, now fancy
that, by combination with the cop
perheads of the North, and aided by
the division in the Union ranks,
which they fondly hope the Presi-
dent and his special friends will
bring about, they may accomplish
their original designs by policy,
which they could not accomplish by
force Whether designedly or not,
the President is in fact lending the
full force Of his example to this
wicked conspiracy; 8 conspiracy to
reinstste in power the very men,
which by treachery and treason,
originated this civil war, and thus

fF When the Representatives
from Tennessee were sworn into
Congress, Maynard and Stokes i'm
mediately took seats upon the Repub-
lican side Of the House. Every one
knows that these two men are among
the'traest Eniou men in all the South;
men whom, during the war, the rebels
could not, either by threats or bribes,
reduce from their allegiance to the
Government Yet they, Southern
men though they are, voluntarily
place themselves side by side with
the Union party in Congress. And
not only is this true IN their case, but
universally throughout the South;
wherever You find man who stood
by the Government daring the war,
there you find man who will not be
entrapped into any alliance either
with rebels South or Copperheads
North. They remember too we'll the
aminas of those parties, TO trust them
now. Union men at ;he North may
learn lesson from the action of
these true and tried Cnioni)ts of the
South. Not man of them will be
found at the Philadelphia Conyen-
ton.

became the cause of all the blood
and treasure that has been expended
in putting it down.
Is It wise TO restore power to such
men2 Is it wise to reinstate into
office Vsllsndigham, Voorhes, Pen
dleton, Wood, and the other north
ern copperheads, who did sill they
could do, in the very crisis of our
national life, to make the rebellion
a success? Have such men any
feeling of patriotism? Did they not
know of this great conspiracy, and
yet gave no note Of the danger?-
Were they not all of them under
oath to uphold the Constitution of the
United States, and yet did they not
allow this rebellion to grow up and
break forth without uttering : word
of warning? Did they not by their
wilful silence commit moral perjury?
Ii they have, like those southern
traitors, failed US in their duty to
the nation, in such mighty emer-
gency, can they be trusted again?
There is a most sovereign impu.
denee in the declaration of these
men. Did they not pronounce the
war failure in 1852 Did they not
call Mr.. Lincoln a ''despot," and the
Union soldiers Lincoln hirelings?"
And now they come with honied
words and hypocriticsl pretenses
and ask these soldiers to vote for
thems Can impudence 60 farther
And can the Union men AT home,
who poured out their money like
water, to fill the ranks of the Union
army, now vote for men that openly
refused to pay a dollar for such q
purpose. unless prompted By the
sordid fear of the draft2
Is it wise, is it safe, to entrust the
fate of our nationality in such hands2
Can the Union men, can the great
Union army now restored to civil
life-yote for those men, who thus
slandered and betrayed them.
This cry of civil war will not
frighten any true Union man; its
only effect ought to be to render
every Union man more vigilant and
active in the coming contest. The
future of the nation hangs suspended
on the elections of this fall. and the
next Presidential election. If tue
Union party will only continue, out
of love of country, to vote together
for the tive coming years and this,
we are safe--the nation is safe
freedom is secured not only to this
generation, but in all coming time
The Union party have crushed re
bellion in the field1 but we must now
crush it out at the ballot box. Let
our watchword be-''liberty and
union, one and insepersble, now and
forever.

,lnpnty Convention.

We insert in to-days paper the call
of the Union Central Committee for
a County Convention to nominate
candidates for the several offices to
be filed this fall. The Convention
is set for the 25th inst, and the cleo
ton of delegates eccurs on the after
noon of the 18th.
Conventions are q necessity of
party organization. Without them
there can be no unity of action, and
of course no success. But to make
them available for good, and not mere
machines for the manipulation Of can.
didates and their friends, it is i'm
portant that the primary meetings
should be largely attended, and good
and true men selected for delegates
men representing the feelings and
wishes OF their respective townships,
and who, in the Convention, in the
selection OF candidates, will make
qualification snd the public good the
essentials for nomination. We hope,
therefore, our Union friends, in the
seS ersl townships, will remember the
primary meetings on the 18th, and
give to them that attention and time
their importance demands. Let US
start well-start, backed by the ap-
probation of those who do the voting
and thus give success to nominations
and the battle is more than half
won.
The public interests eff Gallia
county are committed to the care and
custody of the Union party, and it
should be the pride of that party to
so manage them as to disarm even
their opponents of fault finding. To
do this, it is necessary that you
nominate good men-and to nomi-
nate good men you must have good
delegates-and to have good dele
gates, the voters must attend the
primary meetings. Thus you see the
whole responsibility Of a good ticket,
and, as consequence, the honest
and economical management of our
county affairs, rests upon the voters
OF the different townships, where, of
s right, in q Republican form of
Government, it belongs. We hope,
therefore, our Union voters will ac-
cept'of this responsibility, and meet
it in q manner becoming its impor-
tance and magnitude.

Tennessee has given evidence of that
spirit of returning loyalty. Her
State government is in the hands of
loyal men; large portion of her
people are not only loyal to-day, but
stood steadfastly by the Government
during the whole war; she has elect
ed to represent her in Congress none
but truly loyal men, in a word by her
loyalty she has maze good her claim
to be restored to all her former rights
and privileges in the Government
And let the other Southern States
send to Congress as representatives
men who are and have always been
truly loyal-men who can take the
oaths of Office prescribed by law
let them in the administration of
their State governments and in the
general conduct of their people de-
velop a spirit of true loyalty towards
the Government. and the Union
party of the North and her represen-
tatives in Congress will not be slow
to welcome them back to their for
mer positions in the Government.
They do not now, and have never
demanded, that the body of the
Southern people should he prescribed
and subjected to the pains and pen
alties of their treason. They are
willing to forgive and forego all that
They only demand security against
future secession and civil war. Ten
nessee has given the country that Sc
curity by the manifestation of
spirit of loyalty unsurpassed in any
part Of the country. Let the other
Southern States do likewise, and they
will not long remain unrepresented
IN Congress.
