THE EVENING NEWS.

PUBLIC MEETING IN NIRGINIA.-Ihe
Peoples Union Party, held meeting in
front of the International Hotel, in Vir-
ginia, last night. The assemblage was
quite large, and for an hour and half it
was "quite respectable" A. W. Bald
win and W. H. Clagett entertained the
people with very good speeches, which
were listened to with attention, and some
times applauded-the band also enliven-
ing the occasion with music. Every
thing seemed to go along pleasantly as
we certainly like to see Union meetings
60 on, when there was very unfortu-
nate turning point in the harmony of the
gathering. Mr.. A. B. Paul. our towns
man, who is candidate for County Com
missioner, was called upon for a speech.
He mounted the stand, and was about
commencing to address the audience, when
q crowd Of, perhaps, hundred men
and boys, (who were evidently put up TO
it, commenced making a very unusual,
disagreeable, and what might be termed
an inharmonious outcry-interiarded with
numerous groans, such as might be sup
posed TO emanate' from a body Of men
who were in diStress-either with pain In
their bowelary region, or undergoing am
pu,ation of their limbs. Owing to long
continuation of this unusual and impolite
way of listening to a pubic speech, Mr..
Paul could not well be heard-and as he
seemed deSirous-of having a square talk
to the people of Virginia, he very properly
stood his ground-he kept the floor. and
after the hue and cry of the left wing of
the crowd had ceased, he went on and
made his speech. Our old Yulcanite
friend and townsman, Mr.. Busch. who
is on our Independent Union Ticket,
was next called upon for speech. He
came forward-hoping, no doubt, to pour
oil on the troubled waters of the left
wing" but ne didn't succeed very we'll.
On the contrary, his eloquence seemed to
have the same effect as q red hot poker on
a cats back. Butsh was too sarcastic, and
too ironical by long shot-so, he GER
tainly did not succeed as well as he ought,
and that we had reason to expect he
would. The disturbance was dastardly
outrage upon the rights Of free speech,
mean, dirty, low-hved. vagabond trick
and discreditable to the name and stand
ing of the city of Virginia. Where were
the police: Where were the Provost
Guard If the people Of Virginia will
rest easy under such an outrage upon
public assemblage, they had better sell out
their organization as city government.
AccIpEvrs.-On Sunday afternoon, Mr..
Robert Morris, of the Star Saloon, below
the Swansea Mill, between Silver City and
DAYTON, went in search of some lost goats.
He entered tunnel and IN cropping about,
feel into q shaft thirty-ive feet deep. He
remained there until yesterday morning.
Parties went in search of him; and two Of
them. passing the tunnel, heard his cries.
They went in to rescue HIM, when one OF
the men, named Hoye, also fell down the
shaft. They were both finally taken out
Morris having his right leg broke. and
Hove his ankle broken and his shoulder
dislocated. DR.. PinkertOn was promptly
sent for, and attended to the men. The
onion, from which we take the foregoing.
states that the injuries were not considered
dangerous. This afternoon, however, we
learn through a gentleman just from
Silver, that Hoye's injuries are more seri-
Gus than was at first supposed, and that
doubts are entertained of his recovery.

THREArENINe.-We learn that a big
red-headed loafer was threatening on the

be the object of copperhead violence.
The cowardly whelp had better come
down TO the Office and talk that kind Of
nonsense where we can hear him.
DEMOCRATIC EESGEAScE.-Last night,
at the Copperhead fandango in this town,
some of the 5rars democracy vented their
Jealous rage on the Abolitionists" by
tearing down and breaking up the stand
of poor old negro boot-black in front OF
the house where the speaking took place.
Oh. it was so 6rGre-so BRAVE :!
CooL.-The BuLzard BOOSTERS, last
night, sent committee down TO the room
OF the Home Guard to ask an explanation
of the object of the organization. That
was once. A repetition of such impu-
dence might prove sore job for the COM
mittee.
