Yesterday m ad}ournod neetinr Of the cit1-
| zcns of Madison comfy. A1abama. was held
! al. the Court House. On Saturday of the
| previous week, meeting was convened for
the same purposes, but in consequence Of the
fnsuf11ciency Of the notice, few citizens Of the
county were notified. It was therefore deem
cd best to adjourn for weck, give sufficient
notice, and defer any decisive notion until
that time. Yesterday, reEy considerable
meeting in point Of numbers, met at the ap~
pointed hour. ~ order OF Gen. Logan the
military, although numbers OF them were
present ns listeners, took no part in the pro-
ceedings. Thus the unwarrantable spectacle
Of gentlemen In s. straps from >, other
States, occupying the meeting Of citizens
with long speeches intended for scf:exhibi-
ton and newspaper notices, which has OBJ
tained In Tennessee, WAS avoided The de-
nbctations and action Of the meeting were
