Emperor positively announces, his intention 10

SPECIMEN OF RICHMOND LoYALrY.-We
nnd IN the Richmond Examiner, edited by Mr..
Pollard, which is said to be the IA yorite paper
OF the old residents OF Richmond, a column OF
burlesque description OF Unien ball given by
the Union Officers at the Spottswood 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
ofensive ineundoes, and was so popular with
the people that IL was republish on Monday
by SPECIAL request. The disloyal press of the
Sonfh. as well as that Of Baltimore IL II repre-
senfs the sentiments of its readers, is doing
more to retard harmony and conciliation than
all the radicals in the country combined Sen.
