THE MEANNESs OF THE DisUNION

Inc oisunion newspaper published in this

its hate of our soldiers by saying it did not
know whether Capt. Pepper belonged to the
Confederate or Union army.

COL Dickey;
"We suggest that it (THE ARGus) publish Col
Dickey's speech delivered before the Springfield

rest everybody attention that tie constitution

rump congress, in no part provide for restora-
ton of the Union, even should those amendments
be adopted by the states II they were adopted
tomorrow, the Union would still be unrestored
and the disunion radicals would still be at liber-

Let this fact be noted for most people think
that the adoption of the amendments necessarily
works restoration of the Union, while the fact
is not Depend upon it, if the amendments
were adopted, the radicals would demand, as a
further condition, that the states should adopt
negro suffrage. They don't intend the Union
shall be restored while they retain power

The Night Mail.

We are favored by Postmaster
McNEELY, this morning, with state
ment of the result of his efforts to
establish a Night Mail to and from
Cincinnati, which will be of general
interest. He has succeeded so far as
to get, the consent OF the Department
for the establishment of the mail, and
for its transportation over the rail
roads. It only remains for the citi-
zens to provide for its transfer from
depot to depot, and to and from the
Office, and the cost is not great. We
are satisfied that if some one viii un-
dertake to raise the money, it can be
obtained in few hours ia Z
The advantages of the Night Mail
will be appreciated by all in any way
interested in mail facilities. In ad-
dition to the advantages it will give
us in communication with Cincinnati,
it will give us two daily mails to and
from the East. 1t will also secure the
reception of the day mail in this city
in the morning, when it misses con-
nection at Vincennes, which some
times happens, especially in the win
ter season. When we once get to en-
joying the facilities of two daily mails,
we will wonder that we did so long
without them, when they were so
easily to be established. We hope
our citizens, especially our merchants,
will signify personally to the Post
master what they are willing to do to
secure it, that it may at once be estab-
lished. 4s-..s
