Immense Mass Union Meeting
Patriotic Speech Of John
Brough.
ITO the Gin cinnati Gazette.l

r . MARIETTA, June 10.
The largest number of people ever gath
cred together in this county, assembled
here to-day to hear John Brough speak on
the Crisis of the Times. Old Wings de-
clare that it beat the days of 1910, and well
they may, for here were gathered men Of
all parties, devoted to the cause of the
Union, and forgetting all the party ties of
yore. Most Of the business houses were
closed, and citizens of the town turned out
en- masse, while from the surrounding
country and from the sacred soil of Vir-
ginia, on horseback, in carriages and wag-
ous, by railroad and steamboat, came the
hardy sons and daughters of toll The
sight was good to behold. There was 10y
atty and devotion to country.
The fact that many present were Mr..
Brough's friends and companions il boy
hood, and that all the excitement and
temptation of political life had not induced
him to address a popular assemblage since
1848, added to the interest of the occasion.
Captain Levi Barker of the 82nd Ohio
was Grand Marshal. Judge Putnam,
grandson of the first President of the Ohio
Company, presided, surrounded by the sur
viving heroes of 1872, every one of whom
is loyal to the country to-day.
Mr.. Brough spoke an hour and half
and was listened to with marked attention.
He defined his political position as that of
Democrat, but as one whose principles
taught him that the first duty of every
man was to his country. In crisis like
this, when the country ives assailed by a
formidable rebellion, party should be swal-
lowed up in that higher patriotism of de-
votion to the common cause. Although
he did not vote for Mr. Lincoln and differed
from him in some things, yet it was his
bOunden duty to support the Administra-
ton and give it all the aid in his power.
He did not see in him the head of a party,
but the head of the Government He said
that he had no delicacy in discussion the
question of slavery any more han any
other question which enters into this rebel
lion. lie had nothing to say of its domestic
relations but of its political power he had
Slavery had turned upon the nation that
had fostered it. Now let it be used in
putting down the rebellion. He question
ed the policy of issuing proclamatiOns but
indorsed the efforts 10 arm the negroes
and then let Slavery perish in the war, and
freedom be established throughout the
length aud breadth of the land. No prop
osition for compromise could be entertain
ed at this time short of unconditional sub
mission to the laws. The only way to
make an honorable peace is to conquer it
with the sword. We must have one glOri-
GUS Union, or innumerable principalities.
Whe can hesitate which to choose?
The whole speech was most patriotic
and eloquent

FROlI NORTH CAROLINA.

NEWBERN, j une y.
The United States transport steamer Al
bany leaves here this morning at 6 o'clock
for New York.
The concurrent testimony Of deserters
leaves no doubt that the long mouldering 2
fires of rebellion are breaking out in the
interior Of North Carolina. That the dis
affection has reached a point far beyond
even the Insignificant intimaGon Of the
journals Of the State.
Several thousand armed refugees from
the eonscription have been for Wseks en-
trenehed in the mountains with artillery,
successfully defying the Confederate au-
thorities.
The Raleigh Standard bitterly complains
that while the rebel eonseription act has
not been enforced in Georgia and Missis-
sippi, North Carolina has been raked as
with fine tooth comb.
1t appears that in the battle Of Chancel-
lorsVille tWenty-nine North Carolina regi-
ments we're placed in front 20 resist Hook
er's advance, and sustaining an immense
slaughter; while the South Carolina and
Virginia troops were held in reserve.
This massacre Of North Carolina troops is
boldly and freely denounced, and the Con-
federaey is charged with gross injury and
bad faith; numerous and stuS;ed indigni-
ties have been put upon the State, and her
people are keenly resentful.
1t isproposed to make General Willie, Of
the African Brigade, Military Governor
Of North Carolina.

Provost Marshal Sonnet, of the Licking
District, has reported to Colonel ParrOtt
that the COpperheads of Harrison town
ship, Knox county, have refused to allow
the enrolling officer to continue his labOrs
there. They threatened to shoot him if he
did not accompany them, which he did,
when they took him out of the township,
advising him not to return. He has re-
signed and another man has been appoint
ed to make the enrolment, who is deter
mined to go through with it. He will have
such assistance as is necessary. The
Sheriff of Knox county refuses to allow his
Jail to be used for the temporary cOnfne-
ment of deserters. There are indications
of serious interference with enrolment at
several points in Licking and COshOeton
counties.
Paymaster G. W. Williams has forward
ed the Governor SS,762 allotment fund
