All Union or all Rebel.

We have men incur country who call themselves
Conservatives, others who are called Copperheads,
others who boast Of being Rebels and those again
who claim TO be Union. This Is creating too many
parties in the country, and it is allowing men to
escape Just censure by assuming false names There
are but two parties in the country North and South
and there can be but two parties-s Union party
and Disunion party. We are all either Union
men. loyaI to tie Government, or we are Rebels
making war upon the Government. Let Us all take
one side or the other and not SEEK under false col
Ors, 70 deceive honest people and pull the wool over
the ewes Of loval citizens.

Name out the Parties.

An East Tennessee correspondent OF the Nash
vile Union and American, writing from Bulls Gap,
over the signature of Conservative" tells OF va
rious outrages perpetrated by "ruffans in differ
ent looalitie and complains that the East Tennes-
zee papers have not published the facts This pa
per mad not heard Of them before and now has only
the say so of Conservative" who does not tell who
the ..rufians are If men have acted as herepoTts
they are ruans and deserve 10 be driven out Of th
country. If the charges are false, the Bulls Gal
correspondent ought TO be required TO leave.

Richmond PauperS.
OCCASIONAL

The Richmond Enquirer has spiteful impert:nent
article on two hundred AMI sixty negro paupers in
that city to which the Pittsburg Comm rcial thus
replies
We cannot but admire the prudence Of the En-
ouirer in waving the question " who made these
negro paupers ?? and we have never seen it exercised
in wav filter to entite 1t to the name Of rascal
ly virtue as it angrily called by revolu-
ti0nary General They were made paUpers by those
who have taken their labor without paying for it,
who have lived all their lives on the earnings OF
these negroes who have framed laws to keep them
in ignorance and bondage. 1t needs nothing but
prudence to keep the Enquirer from the question and
the answer
"The property-holders Of Richmond are not able
TO pay their taxes for the support Of the city" May
we not ask, without impudence, who made them
paupers or brought them TO that condition that they
cannot pay their poor-taX? Those miserable traI-
tors whom the Enquirer for years has been aiding
and applaudingn their rebellion against the nlted
States, and in their tyrannieal exactions from the
people of the South. When the prudence OF the
Enquirer shall allow it to turn It's attention TO this
question, it will be led to the same answer. They
have sown the wind and they are reaping the whir-
wind But il seems that there are in Richmond not
only property who too poor to pay their
poor-raeS, but absolute paupers dependent on what
the Enquirer doubt justly, calls the cold charity
Of that city The charity that observes the distnc-
ton of color recommended by the Enquirer must be
very cold indeed. And we cannot but feel some
curiosity besides to know whether the figures $50
will cover the number Of white paupers whether
the proportion Of the latter TO the entire white
tive population of the late rebel capital is great
than 260 black paupers to the whole black popu-
lation. And who made the whites paupers, not only
in Richmond but through the whole South
The haunting appeal to Boston is highly chivalric
and grateful, while Boston and New York and other
Northern cities are devisng means and collecting
money for supplying the starving people Of the
South with food without distinction of color Rich
mond sympathy if it respect the suggestion OF the
Enquirer will most certainly confne charity to the
JUhi

Negro InSurrectiOn.

We call the attention Of cur readers to an article
~ this subject published in this weeks paper copied
from the Baltimore American. 1t is very lengthy,
but logical and truthful in its deductions and con-
tains much valuable information on subject eXcit-
inc interest throughout the South.
We agree with the Baltimore American II the
opinion that the negroes, class, will dcport
themselves properly rhea astice Is done them There
Is 10 more reason or justice in expressing this race,
because some OF their number are bad men and
commit crime than there is in trampliug on the
rights Of any other race.

EX.RebelS and EmperOrs.

1t seems that Ex-Governor Harris made an absurd
blunder in supposing that he had had an interview
with the Emperor and Empress Of Mexico at the
imperial palace the far famed halls Of the Mon
tezumas AS asserted in his recent letter The man
he saw at the palace, according to his own state
ment was obliged to employ lady as an interpre-
ter; but the following note from William A Buff
fun, ESQ, formerly Consul of the United States al
Trieste, who knew the Emperor abroad, establishes
the fact that Macmillan speaks English as he doe:
the other modern languages, perfectly well, and
could not, therefore, have requ red an Interpreter
TO TIE EDITOR OF RE HERALD.
New York, Dee. 26, 1865.
The letter OF Isham G. Harris, Ex-Governor OF
Tennessee, giving an account of his interview with
the Emperor and Empress of Mexico. which has at.
tracted so much attention, contains evidence that
Mr. Harris must have been ridiculouslv imposed
upon. Harris states that he succeeded in escapino
the vigilance of the FederalS and, after long and
tOilsOme journey in company with his confederates
reached the city of Mexico where he was very cor
daily received by the Emperor Macmillan and the
Empress Charlotte and that at this audience the
Empress whom he acknowledged to be clever wo-
man, acted interpreter. Respecting this state
ment il Is only necessary to remark that the EN-
peror speaks English about as fuently as ANYBODY
and certainly well Harris, and he could there
fore, have no possibly use Tor the services of in
terpreter unless Harris that occasion spoke Choc-
taw.
Running away from the federal troops has been
too much for our worthy Ex-Governor. 4 Journey
of fifteen hundred miles on horseback, under the
circumstances, would have upset a stronger mar
He was fatigued, doubt, and excited on his arri-
val at the palace and probably mistook some of
their attendants for the imperial family Our run
away Tennesseean is like Othello, Of simple low
ing nature, and thinks men Enperors that but seem
to be so; and he has" not wisely but too well -
permitted himself TO be slightly imposed on By some
Spanish Jupiter Jeemes and his pretty wife, who
"speaks English a lecte' Il is really to be hoped
for his sake, that his magnificent coffee and ba-
plantation of six hundred and forty acres near
Popocatepetl is not also ludi crous mistake deriv-
ed solely from this suppositioUs Emperor.
WAB.
The truth is, these ex-rebels nave got so in the
habit Of laundering in their ideas of government
that they not safe in trusting themselves to their
own notions anywhere. We would strongly advise
others, who think Of going to Mexico TO call at
Bradys gallery and procure an imperial photograph
of his Majesty, in order that they may, with GER
tainty, distinguish him from his butler-Nele York
