There are Union men in the South who
ydecline to unite themselves to the Republi-
csn party. and yet declare they are the best
Unionists among u.s. They are fretted if
their Unionism is questioned. Well now,
gentlemen, the Republican party is the
Union party, and there is no other party in
the country. Let us put case A man vol
unteers for twelve months in the Union
army He fights through his twelve months,
but declines to re-enlist. Such q man has
been soldier, but he can not claim now to
belong to the army. 1t is so with the Re-
publican party. The best evidence that a
man is q Unionist is to see him in the Re-
publican ranks. He can do but little if any
good if he is not in the ranks. 1t is very
we'll to point to his scars as volunteer, and
to say he is true; but the conflict is still go
ing on, and the name of every soldier should
be on the roll, 80 that, when called to the post
Of duty, he can at once respond and go for
ward, and by his conduct prove his fidelity.


Is your name on the roll of the Republi-
can party9 If really Unionist, and your
name is not on the roll, put it there at once.
Those who are ashamed of the Republican
party in the day Of its weakness in North
Carolina, will be forgotten by it in the day
Of its power.

We learn from friend at Asheville that
person of distinction, who has recently WIS.,
tied Raleigh and returned to that place, has
started the report that a "serious split" has
taken place in the Republican party in Ra-
leigh-that Messrs. Pool, Moore, Settle and
Others, had broken off from the party and
declared they did not belong to it, &c.


1t is hardly necessary to say that there is
no foundation for this report. If Mr.. Moore
has given in his adhesion to the Republican
party, or if he belongs to it, we do not
know 1t. We should be glad to have his aid
as member of the party. But there are no
sounder Republicans in the State than Mr..
Pool and Mr.. Settle. They are both men,
bers of the Republican State Committee,
and will both doubtless be present at the
September Convention.


The person referred to should be careful
how he scatters reports. He is known to
be thoroughly rebellious, however, and what
he may say against Republicans will be ta-
ken with many grains of allowance.


There is no split, and there will be none in
the Republican party in this State. The
Convention of the 4th September will be a
harmonious body. Weknow ofno disposition
among Republicans to foment discord and
strife in the party; but if there should be,
those attempting it will be instantly blasted
by the indignation of the loyal masses. The
State must be restored to the Union before
this time next year. The Republican party
can alone do this work. Il is going to do it.

REMOVAL OF GEN. SHERIDAN The rebel
paWrs are calling for the removal of this
gallant officer. and the signs in the papers
are that the President may yield to this call.
The removal of Gen. Phil Sheridan would be
the great event of the day. Win the Presi-

without an earnest protest against it Gen.
Sheridan is already fayarite with millions
Of our loyal people, and his removal would
create an enthusiasm for him which would
probably seat him in the Presidential chair.
To remove Gen. Sheridan would be to ignore
and insult the great mass Of the loyal people
of this nation. We repeat, is the President
bold enough, or reckless enough to risk it ?

men in it, but eight months ago some of
these were summoned before Committees
and rudely interogated on charges of trea-
son and sedition, because they had asked
Congress to pass the reconstruction acts ];
and they were also threatened, in debate,

Every man is marked, if not killed, who
stands in the way of Brownlow and Radical
ism.-Sentinel.


What whopper! There are some forty
thousand anti -Brownlow men in Tennessee.
Every one of them who is not killed, is
marked! Does the Sentinel suppose its
readers will believe such nonsense2


The only killing we have heard of IN
Tennessee was at Memphis and Franklin,
with the exception of the picking of, every
day OF two, of some Unionist by some BUSH
whacker. At Memphis, the disunionists
and anti -Brownlow men amused themselves
for hours by killing loyal people. We be-
lieve they have never been punished for it.
These traitors did the same thing recently
at Franklin. This is the killing that de-
lights the Sentinel. It would like to have
it become general, and therefore its efforts
to infame the great body of the whites
against the Union whites and the colored
people.

Fifteen Hundred Men Raised in New


York TO Avenge the Death Of Maxi
milan, and TO Rescue Santa Anna
Jem. ThOmpsOn offered the Command


OF the Expedition.


The friends of Macmillan and Santa Anna
in New York, are still engaged in an effort TO
organize an expedition with view to avenge
the late Emperor's death Although their
movements are invested with judicious secrecy,
many OF their plans form exciting topics OF
conversation among their aCquaintances, who
gather nightly in a certain hotel on Broadway.
They are known to be bound by q solemn oath
not to reveal aught which may initiate against
their operations, or prevent the scheme OF land
ing hostile forces on Mexican soil.


II should be stated here that the men who
have charge of the enterprise are mere French
and Austrian avengers, some of whom are refu-
gees from the country they design to invade;
but they have received large amount already
from the agents OF certain European Govern
ments in New York, and they are nov working
with these eiueWs OF war. They have opened
three recruiting offices, one in the ostensble
interest of Santa Anna, and two to raise men to
avenge MaXimilian's death; and they claim to
have already enrolled over fifteen hundred men.
1t is generally believed, however, by those who
know the antecedents of the chieftains of this
movement, that their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and
not the 'civilization OF Mexico" or the wrongs
of Santa Anna, is the grand object OF all their
efforts.


1t appears. from all that can be learned of the





General JEFF. Thompson, late of the Confederate
service had arrived at his hotel in New York,
they waited on him and solicited him to take
command of flibustering expedition. The
General is said to have replied that if the num-
Der Of men raised were in his opinion equal to
the emergency. he would probably consent to
become their leader; and the visitors at once
declared that large force would be placed at
his disposal, and that he would be Joined by
cavalry from Richmond on arriving on the
Texas shore. The deputation then Withdrew,
and they are now engaged in the work OF raising
men. This is one of the reports in circulation
about the matter.


The illbusters it should be said are confident
of support from other quarters. 1t is rumored
that General Logan is to proceed to San Fran.
cisco in few days with view to take possess
sion of section of Lower California, which
was sold some time since to the United States
by the Mexican generals. He is to be accom-
panied by large force of miners, to work in

which General Butler is said to be Director
