A Union candidate for Congress in the Harper's Ferry District.

A recent Washington city paper publishes a card, signed by a large number of former operatives in the armory at Harper's Ferry, presenting the name of John S. Gallaher as a "Union" candidate for Congress from the 7th Congressional District of Virginia, composed of the counties of Alexandria, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Loudoun, Jefferson, Berkeley, Frederick, Shenandoah, Clarke, and Warren. The card is signed by Daniel J. Young, George Koonce, S. V. Yants, Joseph L Russell, Reasin Cross, and others. The Alexandria Daily News, in noticing the card says:

‘ "Mr. G., in his able paper, the Virginia Free Press, opposed secession to the last moment, and warned the people of the Potomac region of the blight and desolation which would follow any attempt to break up the Union which Washington and his compatriots had formed."
