The Pole RaiSingi

More than two years ago tho Union men
of this county raised tall Liberty Polo on
the corner of Main and Gay streets and
upon it Displayed the stars and stripes One
man, CHARLES S. DoUGLAs, for The part he
took in this patriotic work was murderedon
Gay street, in his own house, by portion
of Vaughn's regiment of thieves and assas-
sins, and JUDGE Brown, of Monroe county
was here at the time, looking on and con
centing to the murder
Since that, and very soon thereafter, a
regiment of Texas Rangers called here and
cut down the pole, and threatened to hang
all concerned in erecting it. Now, our
friends South of the river have preserved
that same old banner, and will have it here
on Tuesday next, the day of the assembling
of the Convention, and with new pole,
eighty feet long, they viii plant the same
banner on the same spot Let all good and
truly loyal men be on hand at 10 O'Clock on
that day

Bad Men in orr Midst.

AT least one-half Of the rebels who come
in and avail themselves of the benefits Of
the amnesty oath Of the President and who
have been active rebels arc insnccre, and
are acting in the capacity of spies and in
formers Many Of them are wholly un-
principIcd, thoroughly imbucd with the
spirit Of socesh, and now occupy positions
that will enable them to do more mischief
than they could if in the rebel ARM and
beyond our lines They arc here for no
good purpose. Instance the case of o.
bornes mounted assassins, who are mur-
drng young and old and robbinr honscs
in Blount Sewer and Cooke counties. Half.
OF these villains, if not a greater proportion

The COnVentlOn..-April ~.

Tuesday next, the 10Th of April, will be
n day OF note on more accounts than one.
1t is the day upon which the Union Pole,
rudy and insultingIy cut down by rebel
traitors in arms, will again be erected 1t
is the day upon which the Knoxville
Greeneyille Tory Convention held by the
Unionists East Tennessee, will rc-assemble
in the Supreme Court Room, at II o'clock.
1t is the day on which that great Union
champion, HENRY CLAY, was born. And
it is the day upon which the rebels first
drew blood by the fire of their guns in this
internal rebellion. We look to the 18th of
April with great interest, and we trust
