scmbled at the Court House, at ii o.
clock, A. NJ.
S. r. Rogers was made Chairman and
r. A. Crawford, Secretary of the Con
vention. Dr. w. G. BrownlOw offered
a set of resolutions which were second
ed by Hon. Horace Maynard in an
earnest and eloquent speech. First, he
recounted President Lincoln's intense
and early efforts to give relief to the
loyal men of East Tennessee. His iu-
dicious and wise administration of pub
lie affairs, although surrounded by so
many and discOuraging difficulties on
every hand. His manly integrity, wis
dom and forecast. His comprehensive
and statesmanlilIe grasp Of the Difficult
ties at the outset Of the rebellion, and
the craftsmanship Of those associated
with him, in comparison with the hand
to-mouth, low, pettifogging course Of
the leaders of the Southern Confede-
racy, of itself was conclusive that it
was the duty of every Union man to
sustain him. Here he made an ap-
peal to all present to unite our destinies
with the true and loyal men of the land
and to stand for the administration and
the Government (Hearty applause

THE MORNoS's DEPARTURE.

THE MORMON s DEPARTURE.
The morning on which Reginald
GlOverson was to leave Great Salt Like
City with a mail train dawned beauti-
fully.
Reginald Gloverson was a young and
thrifty Morn OF, with an interesting
family of twenty young and handsome
wives. His unions had never been
blessed with children. As often as
once a year he used to 90 to Omaha, in
Nebraska, with mule train, for
goods but although he had performed
the rather perilous journey many times
with entire safety, his heart was strange
ly sad on this particular morning, and
hlled with gloomy forebodings.
The time for his departure had ar
rived The high spirited mules were
at the door, impatiently champing
their bits. The Mormon stood sadly
among his weeping wives.
Dearest ones, he said, Il am sin
gularly sad at heart, this morning; but
do not let this depress you The iourn-
ey is a perilous one but-pshaw have

that every night, as l lay down on the
broad starlight prairie, your bright faces
will come to me in my dreams, and

You, Emily, with your mild blue eyes
and you, Henrietta, with your splendid
black hair; and you, Nelly, with your
hair so brightly, beautifully golden; and
you, MOllie, with your cheeks so dOwny;
and you, Betsey, with your wine-red
lips-far more delicious, though, than
any wine | ever tasted-and you, Maria,
with your winsome voice; and you,
Susan, with your-with yOur-that is to
say Susan, with y0t0' - and the other
thirteen Of you, each so good and beau

He folded several of them to his
throbbing breast, and drove sadly
away.
But he had not gone far when the
trace of the off-hind mule became un-
hitched Dismounting, he essayed to
adjust the trace; but ere he had fairly
commenced the task, the mule, a singu-
larly refractory animal-snorted wildly,
and kicked .Reginald frightfully in the

Guilty and tottered feebly towards his
mothers house, which was near by,
falling dead in her yard, with the re
