The dHwnlng of Saturday last ushured in a
day which will! long be remembered by the
loyal people OF East Tennessee-a day which,
when reverted to in coming years, will cause
a thrill Of pleasure to animate the breast of
every one who witnessed the grand pageant
~ in Jonesborough upon that occasion. We
have behe.d aSsemblages Of immense magni-
tude and filled with great cnthusiasm-in by
gone days-but never have we witnessed one
to excel, in this country, the one which met
our gaze on the Fourth day Of July, in Jones
bOrO'. 1t was a day which will reflect credit
on loyal East Tenuesseeans as long as his
tory shall record the deeds of those who
worship at the shrine of Liberty.
The bright rays OF the morning sun had
scarcely traced their glittering lines across the
horizon, when small squads of people began
to make their appearance upon the various
high ways leading to our loyal stronghold.
By degrees, these squads increased in size,
ana at . o'clock, as far as the eye
could reach, crowds Of citizens and ex-sol-
diers of the Federal army thronged the
thorOughfares in every direction. At half
past eight, the immense Union Flag, on
which is inscribed the words: an The Rddi-
cal Congress is our only SAFETY" was boisted
on a shaft eighty.fOur feet high, whilst the
bell Of the town Hall and those of the va
rious Churches peeled forth, in thunder
tones, the joyful acclamatiOns Of our ma
birth, and our national independence.
Stretching across Main Street, from the
rev mercantile establishment of
Squibb & Mahoney to the Drug Store
Of W. N. Lambeth, was an immense white
canvass, on which was painted in letters
could easily be read a half mile dis
ant, the words
