IMMIGRATION MEETING.
Attentive Audience at the Court House.
Address of Judge Nelson. MIR. DOnOhue.
and Others.


Pursuant to notice given in the city
papers meeting of the friends of immigra-
ton took place at the court house. Hon.
T. A. R. Nelson was called to the chair
and Spencer Munson appointed Secretary.
Judge Nelson, on taking the chair made
some remarks, in the course of which he
said that he thought it entirely proper to
meet in the furtherance of the object of
immigration-the question presented q
wide field for argument, and he thought
that the question ought to be agitated. He
eloquently referred to the facilities of East
Tennessee, in manufacturing point of
view, and enumerated its natural advan-
tages. We needed mechanics of all kinds
for manufacturing purposes in our midst,
and said that it was highly necessary that
we should hold inducements to the immi-
grant.
The view taken of the situation by the
speaker was that it did not require regular
orators to speak on an occasion of that
kind, and hoped that any having remarks
to make upon the subject would do so.
The following gentlemen were appointed
a committee to prepare resolutions for the
action of the meeting: Rev. G. w. Charl-
ton, B. P. Staley, John NJ. Brooks, Geo.
Washington, and G. ID. McGufey.
ed the meeting at length on the resources of
Tennessee, in which he manifested the
deepest interest. He was followed
by Judge Andrews, w. A. Henderson,
Esq, and l.. A. Gratz.
At the conclusion of the speeches the
Committee on Resolutions reported, which
were unanimously adopted.
George Washington, Esq, read series
Inappropriate resolutions which were also
adopted The meeting then adjourned.

l want my body taken to sweetwater to be

| buried So
Reagan was not blindfolded and BOYD was
not blindfolded. We were tied with ropes. AT.
ter they tied a handkerchief over my eyes and
laid me on the ground, I rubbed my head
could see with one eye.
| THE AFFAIR ANALYzED.
| The intelligent reader who has kept posted in
this interesting affair, from the first rumor of
Boyd's assassination to the present. after read
ing the testimony of Reagan and Hensley cannot
fail to be convinced that Boyd attempted to
perpetrate one of the most stupendous frauds
ever conceived, upon the community and must
form his own opinion as to the innocence or
completely of those two men in the matter at all
events they do not implicitly agree in their state
ment of tho case. ..t
1t will also be seen that Thos G. Boyd had
from Wednesday until Friday morning to make
his arrangements for the proposed trip after wit
nesses or the grand denouen,e1t as he choose. bnt
of this the reader must judge of the probabili-
ties. $500
The seat Of the machine wagon might have
been broken, as stated by the witness or it may
have been broken in hauling Samuel Bowles' re-
mains from Eleazar Church to the point on the
mountain where they were burned. If Boyd
himself would only tell he could throw consider
able light on the subject, but unfortunately his
absence prevents qualification Of the public
curiosity.
Who can imagine without feeling of disgust
and loathing, the callousneSs of Boyd and his
hired tools as they ate and drank while the putri-
flying flesh of the unfortunate negro was being
consumed, and fondly imagining that with its de-
struction all danger to himself past away?
: The orgies of fends were not more satanic in
conception or execution than the atrocious
crime committed on that lonely mountain, and
outraged humanity casts beyond its pale those
capable of such diabolical wickedness.
THE LATEST INTELLIGENCE
of Thos. G. Boyd movements was received by
a gentleman in this city on yesterday morning
from friend in Polk county. On Saturday
morning Boyd and another man arrived at Mr..
Sloan's residence near Benton, where they OBJ
tanned breakfast. They were both mounted and
one of them was riding a gray horse; the ami
mails were much fatigued and appeared to have
been ridden hard: Boyd had on a black cloth
coat and black overcoat
There was no doubt aboutit being him, and af-
ter breakfast, while getting out his pocket book,
he exposed package of pension certificates
His destination from that point is not known,
but it is probable that he went over into Geor-
gia and struck the railroad. He has had suffi-
Gent time to place a long distance between HIM
self and the scene of the horrible farce but it is
scarcely possible that he can ultimately escape
the punishment of his crimes.

The Maine election, in its general speci-
fic results, proves that the Liberal Repub-
licans. as reinforcements to the Democratic
party, are an unknown quantity in Maine
which signifies nothing, and, coupled with
the verdict of Vermont, the judgment OF
Maine means that in New England the
lines of the administration party remain
unbroken. In October, from Pennsylva-
