Union Meetings.

We learn from the Western Sentinel, that
on Saturday last, meeting of the Union
citizens of Forsythe was held at the Court
House in Winston, for the purpose of nomi-
mating candidates for the Legislature. The
Sentinel denounces the meeting as being un-
der the influence of certain Brownlow rad
icals," but the following extract from that
paper shows why it resorts to such slang. It
says:
{" There was no platform laid dewn-not
one word said about supporting Gov. Worth
or the policy of President johnson. On the
contrary, it is well known that one of the
nominees is opposed to both-and it is in
ferable to suppose that both of them are"
The nominees referred to are Capt Peter
A. Wilson and E. B. league. That they are
opposed to the reelection of Gov Worth is
no doubt true, but that they are opposed to
President Johnson's policy is no doubt equally
false. Perhaps one or both of them may be
willing to accept the Howard amendment,
in the event of the failure of the Presidents
policy, and in so doing will show both their
wisdom and patriotism. 1t is a strong ticket,
composed of true men. Among the dele
gates present at the meeting we observe the
following: Messrs. D. II. Starbuck, T. j.
Wilson, W. F. Shultz, Jesse Swain, NJ V.
Perry, Ed Blum, Saml Stoltz and others.
At Union meeting held at Pleasant Hill,
Chatham County on the sth inst, the follow
ing delegates were chosen to the State Con-

BY the emphatic vote OF 70 to 46, the House
Yesterday passed the bill to facilitate CONNER
cal, postal, and military communication among
the several States. 1t authorizes every steam
railway company in the United States to carry
over its road and connections all passengers,
mails, freight, &C., from one State to another,
and to connect with other roads at State lines,
so as TO form continuous lines Of transportation.
The measure is 50 obviously just that the only
wonder is it should be necessary TO enact
such law, or that anybody could be found
to oppose j.. Those who do so must
assert either that Congress has 10
power over the subject, or that commerce and
transportation between the several States ought
to be restricted at the pleasure of any monopoly
powerful enough to control State Legislature,
or rich enough to buy one. But the power is
conferred expressly by the Constitution, while
he who contends againstits exercise makes him.
self a champion of the Camden and AmbOy.
We predict that when this bill becomes law
it will puzzle even a New-Jersey Chancellor to
decide that the right Of transit over that State
can any longer be vested exclusively in one
huge corrupt corporation.
This bill was passed by the House early in
the session and went to the Senate but was re-
called because the wording OF one clause was
deemed to release the Illinois Central and other
land grant railroads from their obligations to
the Government. That mistake has been rec
tilted, and we trust there is no doubt that the
billinits present form will be speedily considered
and passed by the Senate.

"FORwARD TO RICHMOND,

Mr.. Hulburd suggests that our difference
concerning Resumption is fifty typifed by the
difference respecting "On TO Richmond in
1861. The comparison seems to us a happy
one, and we heartily accept it.
We hold now as we held then, that an army
of One Hundred Thousand Union Volunteers
might, could, and should, have had possession
of Richmond before the Rebel Congress con-
vened in that city in July, 1861.
We hold that such an army would have
crushed the Rebellion in single decisive bat

THE PROFUNDITIEs OF FINANCE

The Controller of the Currency, who is one OF
the financial authorities of the times, gives the
following lucid commentary on the effect of a
foreign loan, upon which he has received the
compliments of The Chronicle and Others of our
contemporaries:
