THE 4TH HENDERsoSy1LLE.

At an early hour on the morning of the
4th day of July, the people commenced as
sembling in the village. At eleven o'clock
the Court House bell was rung as the signal
for assembling. The Stars and Stripes were
planted on the public square, at which
point procession was formed and conduc-
ted to the college grove. In the mean time
the freedmen had formed in different part
of town, and brought up the rear in most
orderly manner, with United States flag
and music at the head of their column
They quietly formed on the left of the stand,
which had been kindly erected by themselves
for the occasion. On this selected spot some
four hours were most pleasantly and profit
ably spent by q very large assemblage of
males and females of both races. The De-
clGRtion of Independence having been read,
the Rev. s. G.. Hamilton, of Polk County,
was introduced, and entertained the assem-
blage with quite lengthy and able dis,
course. He urged the Importance Of recon-
structing North Carolina under the proVis-
ms of Congress.
Mr.. T. J. Gambler, of Buncombe, was next
introduced, and informed the people that
when the rebellion was commenced he was
but mere boy, and like many others, under
the excitement Of the day, was Influenced to
volunteer under the persuasion that there
would be no fighting to do-that the
yankees would not fight These, with many
other receptions, soon led him to believe
that he was on the wrong side, and which
led him to avail himself Of the first oppor-
tunity to seek the right side by crossing the
lines, &c ,--.,..sre4 RS sis
Capt. Tracy, of the Union army, being
next introduced, spoke Immediately to the
point, and handled the question of the day
without gloves. q. -f.g t,ls3a ~, "a
The colored speakers were now invited to
the stand, and without hesitation Henry
Green, Hall Pool, and Wash Williams, came
forward and addressed the people in most
creditable manner. The manner in which
they handled the subject of social equality
was quite pleasing and satisfactory
to both races. They advocated the impor-
lance of the education Of their race and
strongly urged their colored friends to,hab-
its of honesty and industry. In speaking of
the party that gave them freedom the Re-
publican party-the bare mention Of the
name Republican, it was plain to be seen,
brought forth smiles of welcome; which
smiles played upon the glad countenances of
oil present who had been slaves; yea, the
smile of gladness mantled the cheeks Of all
lovers of freedom, without regard to race or
former condition. Zee 81 " n as-til. ~
