The CoPPERHEAD MEETING.-The meeting here

afaiI,rc by those who witnessed it, and whose Wis
ion is not obscured by partisan prejudice
1t called Ostensiby for the purp ose of endors-
which las announced) was composed of the friends
and supporters of Andrew johnson.
There were about one hundred and fifty persons
in the Court room more than a majority of whom
disapproved the Preamble and Resolutions of the
Copperhead spncern at Nashville, and despise the
leading spirits of that concern who, like George W.
Jones and Ex-Gov. Brown, were leading spirits of
the rebellion.
Gen. COopers denuncaton o. certain parts of the
proceedings Of that Convention was received with
great applause, and the greatest Indignation was
evinced when the gallant General Zone of the ia
vores of the people, told that he had been hissed
in that Convention.
The Committee on Resolutions were unable to
agree. Those offered before the Committee were
much more denunciatory of Congress than those
passed at Nashville. Gen. L. S. Trowbridge and
others of the Committee, could not endorse these
resolutions, and the Committee reported that they
were unable 20 agree.
Gen. Trowbridge has brother In Congress, from
Michigan, who has been voting with the majority
party, and the General was not ready to pronounce
him traitor and revolutionist Gen. T. has been
gallant and efficient Union soldier and fought re-
beiOn from its inception to its close. His ideas of
what constitute disunionist differ from those of
some of our citizens.
Unable to agree upon Resolutions some per-
son made motion to endorse the resolutions of
the Nashville Convention, and policy of President
johnson. The majority of those who responded,
said aye. Union men who voted understood the Pres
ident's policy to be 10 "make treason odious" and
copperheads to make it respectable
We saw many persons who did not vote. In fact
Copperheads have taken no part in our Union
meetings, not even to vote, many Union men recip-
rocste this and attend their meetings simply as
spectators.

Gov. BrOWnlOW's Speech.

Several thousand colored people, in procession
at Nashville on the 22d inst called in front of the
Governors lodgings, when he appeared and spoke
TO them as follows:
Fello,c- Cou,tymen Il thank you for this call
and for the patriotic airs your band has discoursed
in front of my lodgings Ny only regret is, that
have neither voice physical strength to make you
q suitable reply 1 dislike to hear gentlemen, when
called upon in this way, excuse themselves on the
ground that they are not prepared to speak, but my
looks will excuse me with you. 1 not able to
speak, and have not been off of this lot in three
weeks, because of my indisposition.
This day, the birthday of Washington, one of the
greatest and best this country ever produced is
now being celebrated in every loyal State in the
Union. But if any people on earth have cause to
celebrate this day. it is the coored people of Ten
nessee. Loud cheers. Twelve months ago to-day,
they were emancipated by the votes of the people,
who ratified at the ballot-box the amended Consti-
tuition, which forever abolished slavery in Tennes-
see Renewed applause On this account you
have right to form professions, to march to the
music of LIBERTY to throw the star spangled ban
to the breeze, to wear your emblems and badges
and wear them proudly. [Cries of "Thank you !!

the Injunction of st. Paul, who, like many of you,
in days gone by, was held in bonds in prison, but
endured it as q good sodler-n@t of a hostile army,
but of the Cross of Him who assured him that He
would not forsake him in the day of trial In your
new relation to society, cultivate peace and good
will toward all men; use industry and economy,
and demean yourselves like men; having a sense of
honor and pride of character. Above all, let me
exhort you manfuly to seek, until you happily
find peace in Him before whom we must all soon
appear, to give account of the deeds done in the

REMOVAL OF TRooPs.-Sincs our last paper went
TO press all the soldiers stationed here have been re-
moved. Now, there is no authority in this ancient
city, or at any point between Chattanooga and the
Virginia line, but the civil officers of the Common
wealth.
Since 1851, until Saturday last, Knoxville has
been gsrrisoued by soldiers with the exception of
few days before the Union army came here on the
lstof September 1862 during which time the aOlrn-
ny rebs" were "skedsddling before the victorious
columns of Burnside.
1t was proper that every soldier should be taken
from East Tennessee, q, there was no interest or
class requiring their presence or protection. Now
that they have been sent away, we have no doubt
perfect order will be preserved
For months we have had bat small number of
men $50 or COZ on duty here. Before the lamentable
tragedy, vet fresh in the minds Of people, this
city had been as quiet and law-abiding it
before the war On this point Chancellor Rodgers
saws, "Sincs I began the practice of the law
in Knoxville, IS years ago, there has not been
more tranquility and regard for law in this and the
surrounding counties better feeling between
whites and blacks than had existed for many months
prio- TO the recent occurrences hare.
Judge Hall, of the Circuit Court, who has resided
in this county during his whole life, corroborates
the Chancellors statement and Judge Swan, of the
I'd Circuit gives the same statement relative to up
per East Tennessee We will add that Judge But
Ter, of the LIST Circuit, gives similar testimony.
These high officials traverse the whole country,
and knoio whereof they speak. 1t will hardly be
said that they not loyal men. True their inter-
ests and homes are in East Tennessee and they may
be too partial TO people, but we think the tes-
mony of men Of such high character entitled to as
much credit that Of three or four irresponsible,
vagabond sohipPsr-snappers who disgrace the Fed
eral uniform, and SANDER the loyal people of East
Tennessee through different newspapers, under
anonymous signatures. A class of men who feel
that their occupation like that of Othelo, will be
gone when they mustered out of the service in
dividuals thrown to the surface while the nation
was boiling scum and filth always rise in a boil
ing caldron; men who seek to create the impres,-
sion Ito prevent being mustered OUT that loyal Est
Tennessee can't get along without their sage CO IN
sells and imposing presence.
So far loyalty is concerned the class we refer to
care no more for Union man than a seces sionst
They went into the service when the fight was about
over, under the impression that they would always
be on garrison duty, and never in fight, and from
the further consideration that Captains or Lieu
tenants pay would be more remunerative than the
salary Of q bartender, mot in an orderly liquor
house but low, disorderly doggry, We suppose
they followed this occupation before they went into
the army Certain it is their education and talents
fit them for nothing higher.
