Enthusiastic and Glorious Meeting.
From the Appeal.

From the Appeal.
BROWNSVILLE, Oct. 5.-The largest p0-
Htical meeting ever held in Brownsville ad-
journed tonight toward y o'clock. The
crowd was very large, when it is remem-
bered thatit is very difficult to get any but
towns-psopIe together at meetings held
after dark in country place. But the
friends of Chezthan, who are in msjori-
ty in HAYWOOD county, had determined to
make their power felt and their strength
known. They therefore turned out in
force and sustained the speakers through
a meeting that was characterized by
immense enthusiasm. During the day,
having nothing else TO do, l made it my
business to canvass the town IN the inter
est Of Gen. Cheatham, to ascertain the re-
lative strength of the candidates for Cen
gress for the State at large, and l am glad
TO be able to assure the readers Of the Ap-
peal that i is just as have stated above, a
majority Of the white voters of Haywood
county are for Cheatham. To prove this,
the meeting was called, aud many of the
best and ablest speakers of this portion of
the State made their appearance upon the
platform. At half-past seven O'Clock Lee
Hall, the place of meeting, being filed to
its utmost capacity, containing thousand
people, the assembly was called to order.
Eloquent speeches were made by r. w.
Haywood and Col. ". II. Stephens.

THE SKELETON SHIP.
AMvaferr of the Sea.

The New York Times gives a thrilling
account Of wrecked brig that was come
up with and boarded by schooner on the
10Th of last month. We quote:
When discovered it was evident that she
had BEEN abandoned, as the heavy mass
was being tossed about like log. Il was
a well-shaped, s-rongly-built hull, but the
bulwarks and staEchions had been badly
dealt with by the elements, and the whole
was much weather-beaten.
On boarding it, dismal sight presented it
self. Splintered spars, entangled in canvas
and rigging gear, and the planks of boat
torn asunder by the wind and sea, were
scattered around in sad confusion. Beneath
heap of motley rigging skeleton was dis
covered of human being. The skull and
ribs had been crushed almost on q level
with the deck. Shreds of canvass trousers
and Guernsey frock were found among
and near the bones. Further search re-
vealed five other skeletons. A slight cov-
ering of crisped flesh remained on four of
the skeletons, showing that they had died
more recently than the other two. Not a
particle of food was found on board, SO that
death was, no doubt, caused by starvation.
In the forecastle, which was almost filed
with water, a most unearthly stencil was
discovered, and only two men could be
found to enter and remain long enough in
side to report on what they had seen there.
There were two corpses on the floor, and
one stretched across a chunk"
The vessel is said to have been the most
complete wreck the Captain of the schooner
had ever seen or heard of in bis nautical
exnarience of twenty wears.
THE SCENE IN THE CABIN.
Entering the cabin a foul Odor was dis
covered, but not intense enough to forbid a
thorough investigation. Toward the end
of the steps leading down to the cabin a
fetid pool of water was seen, and the men
had to wade through it in order to reach
every portion of The cabin. Between a sta
tionary table and couch, the head of a
corpse protruded from berth in the wall,
and when brought on the deck was found
to be in a state Of decay. A buttOned
Jacket of good material, blue pantaloons, a
flannel shirt marked at. f., and one boot
covered the corpse. The chronometer IN
the cabin pointed TO "a O'Clock, and on the
table was an open Bible turned downward,
a revolver with Two chambers loaded, a9d
bottle containing a piece Of paper, upon
which was written: "Jesus, guide this TO
some helper. Merciful God, don't let us
perish" The words were detached, ana
hiatus occurred between every Two or lnree
of them, which showed that the writer
m,,et have been either in the lowest stage
of de6ilitT, or driven to madness by hunger.
II, tbe Capssin's s ststeroom, his corpse was
fanud lying bent 81 the floor, as though be
had fallen from weakness, while strug-
cling, with faint hope to save himself and
men.
A LOVE TOKEN.
On his bed letter was found, dated
Martinique, May 80, 1872, commencing
aDear Kate" and signed ''Robt. 9. Hart"
The skeletons were wrapped in canvass, the
funeral service was read, and they were
consigned to the deep.

Venezuela UphOIdIBg the Honor of
the American Flag.
NEW YORK, Oct. by the arrival Of
the steamer Chauncey from Aspinwall, it
is learned that a dispatch from Puerto Ca
bello, Venezuela, states that the Cuban
steamer Virginius escaped on the seventh of
September. The Spanish man-of-vTar Pi-
zarro and an iron-clad were watching her.
The President of Venezuela ordered 5000
soldiers into the fort and sent word to the
Spanish commander that if he fired on the
Virginius while flying the American colors
in Venezuelan waters, he (the President }
would fire into the Spanish feet. The Vir-
gnius was run out with her whis tie blowing
defiance at her jailors. Her destination was
not known. The Spanish vessels could not
catch her.

Il is the reaction against the easy politi-

of war and Of great political excitement.
It is an esrnest uprising for an honest and
