NASHVILLE, October GA great mass meet
ing of negro freedmen was held at Edgefed
yesterday afternoon, six thousand persons
being present. An address was made by Gen.
Fisk. He reioiced that the negroes of Ten
nessee were free, as God intended them to be.
He told them that they must prove themselves
entitled to the blessing of freedmen by indus
try, sobriety and integrity. His duty was to
see that they were not opposed, and also to
see that they discharged their duties. He
wanted to put the black man in the jury box
and on the witness stand.
These remarks were received with great en-
thusiasm, and were followed by several other
speakers, after which the meeting adjourned.
General Fisk states that during the past week
SIX or seven hundred negroes have been sent
to their former homes in different parts of the
State, and have contracted with their former
owners to work for wages. Within a month
there will be general clearing out ofnegroes,
arrangements having been effected to procure
them labor in different parts of the South

General Grant Mt his Old Home

IN The course OF his Journey in the West
General Grant stopped for day at his birth
place-Georgetown, Brown county, Ohio
The people poured out from their houses to see

good conduct of Governor Sharkey and Pres

there will be no collision with the Freedmen's s
Bureau. The negroes on my place say they
never wish to leave it. As a general rule all
the plantations will be proftably worked, and
the negroes will be compelled to fulfil their
contracts.

New York, Oct. G.-Judge J. d. Cation in
a note to the Associated Press, dated in this
city to-day, says in reference to the reported
conversation between Lieut.. Cen Grant and
himself, upon Mexican affairs, that Mr.. Smith
certainly misunderstood him, in his version of
the conversation. Judge Cation says he never
was on a train from Cincinnati with General
Grant to his knowledge, but he did once
have conversation with that officer, in which
Mexico was alluded to, but in that conversa-
ton Gen. Grant in no way intimated to him
that it was the purpose of the Government to
interfere in Mexican affairs

A SUBsIDED DUKE. ."-'.Duke' Gwin of
Sonora, it is said has returned to the United
States. His Mexican greatness has collapsed
most summarily. All his fond and ilattering
ideas that he would be recognized as Ellis
Grace" that courtiers would surround him,
and that noble lords and beautiful ladies would
grace his court, have been cruelty dissipated.
Louis Napoleon, his Grace says, was quite
willing to accord to him all the honors and
profits of nobility, but Maximillian was unwi-
ling. The latter, not to put too fine a point
on it, considered Duke Gwin to be humbug,
and acted accordingly. He incontinently
quashed the budding nobility of the ex-Mis-
sourian and ex-Calitornian, who, when, good
easy man, he thought his greatness was ripen-
ing, sank in his sea of glory like those little
wanton boys who swim on bladders, as related
by Wolseey. Shakspere pdssim. After all
his experiments as leader of colony, and
contemner of the Monroe doctrine, as would
be nobleman who could not be, Gwin returns
to the United States an exploded humbug who
may soon settle down into obscurity.
