Meeting of the Club.

The Democratic Club ofthis place, met
on Saturday evening, as usual The meet
ing was brought TO order by The President.
DR. II. =. Bunn was called upon who adj
dressed the meeting elaboratcly, showing
the physiological difference between the
wl.ite and black races; and the utte, i'm
possibility of man making equal, that

speech was decidedly rare, instructive.
and entertaining treat. The Doctor was
warmly greeted by the applause of the
audience.
r. 5. Noon, Esq, was then called
upon, who responded most eloquently,
contrasting the present policy of the
party in power with resolutions upon
which they first proposed TO wage this
war; and going farther, he showed by
the great truths of Democracy, that bav-
onets will not restore peace to rebellious
States. We will not attempt TO give a
Synopsis of las. speech, as we would fall
short of the task. Suffice it to saw, il was
one of those Intellectual efforts which we
have not yet seen surpassed by any of the
printed speeches of the day.

The Way 1t can be Bone.

" "Ieace-and how Sneers the AHs
g3tanian at the speech of j. +. Scanlan,
Esq, brief report of which we gave two
weeks ago. Is the .ANeghanan opposed
to peace altogether and to what end? p?
Does ii prefer war, anarchy and confusion
bankruptcy and ruin, to an honorable
and amicable peace; or does it really
favor an Abolition dynasty to be centr9,li-
zed in one man, against the wishes of
large majority OF the people? If it be
really in favor of The Union as ii ostensi-
bly, professes to be, why is it opposed to
peace, without which the Union cannot
exist? Or does it biindly suppose that
the 90 self-reliant North . can force '.eicht
million Southeners into terms of peace
at the point of the bayonet, backed only
by foolish proclamations If so, il sadly
mistakes, no: only the military strength of
eight millions of Southerners, but the tenn
per and forbcarance of an outraged people at
the North, whose liberties are balanced on
the fulcruin of .' necessity" with Aboii-
tion notions OF negro equality. Have not

Further Extracts from the First Iss
sue OF q Loyal Paper There
From the Knoxville Bulletin, Sept. 9Th, 1868.
The first number of the Bulletin marks
the regeneration of East Tennessee. A
loyal aud long suffering people have vel
coined their deliverers, and now, sheltered
by the Stars aud Stripes, the homes and
famiIies,of patriotic race are safe from
the outrages of the oppressor. From the
caves and thickets of the mountains, the
victims of alcruel tyranny have come to
greet their liberators, and to join with
them in ridding tue earth Of the fOulest
blot ON Gods creation. eh
nlustrious in her sorrows and the blood
of her martyrs, East Tennessee has now
before her q future of hope and promise,
and of recompense for the past. In the
reunion of long separated families, in the
revival of industry and the dawn Of q
brighter prospect than she has ever seen,
she will reap the reward of q foFtitude
that in the iiery trial through which she
has passed has never faltered. 80 1sa
The liberating army have found their re-
compense for the tolls and privations Of q
long and rapid march, in Witnessing the
demonstrations 0fjoy and gratitude which
sweIIed around their path. Bound by the
common tie Of q proud and holy cause
they found in every man brother, to
cheer and aid them onward.
The alliancelthRs formed with this long
isolated district is q telling blowto treason
\ and is one long advance toward the over

Now We find that the best way to fight
the devil is with FIRE. The Union msn Of
Pocahontas and other counties have been
trying the experiment during last summer
and have found that fighting those guer.
rillas in their own way, has produced the
desired effect. Our men have already
driven those assassius from their hauuts.
Now let us aid those noble, brave, patri-
otic Union men in driving those land pi-
rates beyond the lines of the new State at
least. Instead of disbauding the Home
Guards, let us encourage and increase
their numbers. We can not think of Civ
ing up the Greenbrier Valley to those ban
diItis. There are too many Union people
there to be thus sacrificed; too much rich
territory there to abandon to those scoun-
drels. ~ --q
That country is too far from railroads
and water transportation to support an
army there. Consequently the only perma-
nentmeans of protection those people have,
are the "Home Guards" ......'.

zeus of the mountain counties to form
themselves into home guards to punish
