East tennessee convention.

In our issue last week we gave all the proceed
ings of the late Convention, except report of the
speeches delivered We have requested of Ceonels
Nelson and Temple, and Gen. Cooper, full reports
Of their speeches for publication, and hope to lay
them before our readers. Messrs. McGaughey and
Patterson left the city before could see Them and
we now make the request of them we did of the
other speakers.
Jonesboro' Union Flag:
The speech of COL o. p Temple, at the Knox
vile Convention last week. is deserving of especial
notice. 1t was one of the most eloquent and efee
tive oratorica efforts to which have listened
and was highly applauded even by the opponents of
the new State. He refuted the charge that the
movement was instituted by politicians for the at
tainment of selfish objects He referred to our geo.
graphical isolation from the other Grand Divisions
pointed out the irreconcilabie differences OF COM
mercial interest and political views between East
Tennessee and the remainder of the State-disap-
proved the assertion that East Tennessee is too poor
TO maintain separate State Government and
showed conclusively that she is ntrinscaly richer
than any other equal area In the word-he spoke of
the variety and richness of mineral deposits and
of the superiority of our manufacturing facilities
said that when our mineral resources should be de-
veloped as they soon would be if this movement
and as many Lowells between Bristol and Chatta-
nooga-alluded to the cry of taxation employed by
the opponents of the measure to prejudice those who
are unfamiliar with the financial condition of the
State-exposed the misrepresentation and sophistry
of those who assert that taxes would be increas
ed and proved satisfactorily to any unbiased mind
that they would not only not be increased but would
actually be 100000 less per annum than they now
are He concluded by urging his hearers to use
every honorable exertion TO promote the measure
and to conduct the canvass if the Legislature asens
to the separation with moderation and irrespective
of party politics.
The speech of Hon. 7. a. r. Nelson also, was
eloquent and impressive. There are not many of
our readers who do not remember him in the pleas
ant days of the past, when he was the exponent of
the great Union element of East Tennessee. He is
to-day the same champion Of independence and lib
erty His remarks created the greatest applause and
enthusiasm.
The speeches of the gallant General Cooper, Hon.
Mr.. McGaughey and Hon. N A. Patterson, We're
replete with thoughts that breathe and words that
burn"
With such leaders to bear our standard, who can
for moment doubt the final success of forming
GLORIOUS East Tennessee" into new State-the
GROWN STATE of this great and glorious Union.

His total deposits up to the 14th of August, was
$l4, 100, and his checks were for an equal amount
and the books were cleared.
The vouchers which had been given Mr.. Hender-
and paid, here produced in court, portion
of which were alleged to have been fraudulent.
The remaining witnesses not being present, the
court adjourned until Monday morning, at 10 A. N.
Tenth day, May 9TH, the court martial met, and
continued the prosecution and disclosed that Hen
derson was TO receive 50 for each horse and SIS for
each mule, for very large number of each, per
month, for pasturage, in certain COMMITTEES in Ken
lucky, to wit Baron Warren and Simpson counties
Henderson was also to feed each animal eight pounds
of cor per diem, and a sufficient quantity Of salt
What field for specializing, nay swindling. The
old Sapper and Miner of the Journal Office had large
contract for furnishing corn-Henderson had one
for feeding SO much corn per diem to thousands of
animals, which they never got-and large piles of
grcenbacks were fraudulently e1torted from the
Government. This is the firm now engaged in lee
turing the public upon morals integrity and poiti-
cal honesty.
The evidence for the prosecution here closed, and
that of the defense would commence We shall

Expulsion OF Garrett.

A. 4. Garrett, one of the boilers from Overton
county, and the willing tool of the rebels, afraid to
risk election in Overflow entered senatorial dis
trict in Middle TenneSsee-nOt embracing his coun'
ty-and was elected by the rebels. The Senate ena-
bled him to kill himself off by allowing him to de-
fend himself. Heis no speaker at all, but is weak
and vain man, of no force and less judgment.
The vote throwing him overheard was l3 to 6, and
two of the six were from East Tennessee misrepre-
senting the Union sentiment of two districts-Sen:
ators voting as follows: ..

Editor Knoxville Whig:-However reluctant, l
am compelled to appear in public paper, as the
statements of others have publicly and repeatedly
been called il question. l, therefore, state that
Gov. w G. Brownlow did, on the night of the oath
of March last, in Temperance Hall, make speech
to, and at the request OF the German Union
League Then and there the platform OF the
League" was read to large and attentive audi
ence Of ladies and gentlemen.
The League however small, is designed and dcs-
tined to do good. How much will be accomplished
may depend on the opposing efforts OF others and
as all nations are cursed with such, we Germans
have few amongst US too, who. were but recently
for JEFF Davis, then for Abe Lincoln, and are now
for Andy johnson, or "any other man who has
money and patronage at his disposal They are moi
,sEasrided men" they are decided for l-nteresr

principle
By publishing the above in your next issue you
will oblige Z. GoETz.

Freaks Love.

The Columbia rs. c. correspondent of the New
York Times tells the following singular story:
While here have heard q romantic story that
assured is true, and which, IS 1t reveals the IN
consistency of woman and the elastic character OF
the feminine heart am not disinclined to reject
A young woman, possessed of fine person and prop
erty, member of one of the Oldest and most fash
ionable families in the State, became engaged to
young man in her own grade of life, who was Ma
Jor IN the rebel service, and was to marry him at
the termination of the war, if he survived. If he
did not she was to remain ever true to her vows and
being Catholic, had promised to enter convent
and become only the bride Of Heaven. They were
model pair of lovers and all who knew them be-
heved they were the embodiments of poetry, tender
ness and devotion to each other; that they lived
what bards had sung and romances had described
They were like two blossoms on one stems planet
and its ray.
As usually happens, fate frowned on their felicity,
and jealous of their love- cut the material cloud of
the sentimental Majors being at Fort Wagner
E!oss was mad with grief, and inconsolable forev-
ermore. Her parents believed she would not and
could not lve and that if she did, she must be be-
reft of reason.
Months passed. Charleston fell. Columbia was
threatened. Eloisa remained. She was anxious to
be slain by the barbarians who had murdered her
lover. The Union forces arrived but had something
else to do than kill women and Eloisa survived in
spite of herself.
She heard the regiment was in town that had
charged upon the battalion led by her best beloved
and she resolved to see the Colonel and denounce
him as the slayer of her prince and peace. Eloisa
saw him, and had tremendous scene. The Colonel
was handsome and gallant; and when the fair girl
Numbered as all her sex do at first and then rained
he was touched and interested in the unknown wo-
man. He comforted and consoled her, realizing the
truth of the idea that the heart is suscept
bic to new attachment as when it is recovering
from an old one.
In four weeks she had learned to love the Yankee
savage and expressed her willingness to be his
while he was resigned, as most men are to be wor
shipped by her if she were bent on such folly.
They were married in spite of the threatened ana
themas of all her relatives and friends and now
in Europe, no doubt renewing on the Continent the
war that in America has ceased, but which in do
mains domestic has no end.

We suggest to Kentucky, ii she desires to catch
Prentice, to bait steal-trap with mule contract
From the published evidence Of the Henderson
Prentice swindls in the mule trade VIC doubt not the
mode we propose would bring the old fox in out of
the wet. He was bankrupt when he commenced
swindling in pistol and mule contracts. Now he
has more money than he can use and it is said has
purchased fine plantation in the South for one Of
