A SPECIMEN OF RICHMOND LoYALTY.-We
find in the Richmond Examiner, edited by
Mr.. Pollard, whichis said to be the tavOrite
paper OF the old residents OF Richmond, a col
umn OF hnrlesque description of a Union ball
gwen BY the Union officers at the SpOtswOod
hotel on Friday evening last, OF which Major
General Alfred Terry was Chairman Of the
Committee of Reception. The account is full
OF bitter and offensive inuendoes, and was so
popular with the people that it was republish
ed on Monday by special request. The dislOy-
al press Of the South, as well as that Of Balti-
more, if It represents the sentiments of its rea.
ders, is doing more to restore harmony and con-
ciiation than all the radicals in the country
combined. Senator Sumner has no such
thorough aiders and abettors in the Free
States as he has in the South. ....,,.f
