GUSTAVUs A. HENaY'S SPEECH At
NASHVILLE

OU special dispatches tell briefly the
effect of the wonderfully eloquent speech
Of that brilliant, popular orator, Gusta-
vus a. Henry, made yesterday in the
capitol at Nashville. Those who have
listened to this peerless speaker can i'm
agine rs effect, snd how impossible it
was for the reporter to give even 2 syn
opsis Of the Grafton. He, like the rest
of the audience, was spell-bound, and
could only listen. But the effect of this
speech upon the people Of Tennes-
see is more important than any
Incident of yesterday in Nash
vile. Mr. Henry has been q life
long Wing. He fought Democracy in
Tennessee through a lifetime, but now
is foremost among thoseiwho would con-
soIidate all elements of opposition to
Radicalism in behalf of the nominees of
the convention. This speech, when
published, will silence the last mouth
ing sorehead who pirates about names
of things, and would use an empty pre-
judice as a pretext for treason to his
State and to his race. We hope to pre- |
sent, during the week, Mr.. Henry's |
speech in full to our readers.

CHARLESTON, S. c., August 19-Ad-
vices from Georgetown represent that
the town is still crowded with negroes,
aud that the cOlored militia are guard
ing the jail. The commander of the
revenue cutter, which was recently sent
to Georgetown, sent letter to the col
lector of this port yesterday, stating that
the cutter could protect the property of
the United States, but that there was not
an adequate force TO protect the property
or lives of citizens. An order was re-
ceived here from Governor Moses to-day
for one company of cOlored militia TO he
ready to go TO Georgetown tomorrow.
The militia were summoned but only
twelve responded, and they were sent
out to arrest defauiters. The adjutant-
general Of the State failed to arrive to
take command, aud the troops were dis
missed.
AUGUSTA, GA, August l9.-There was
no disturbance at Ridge Springs to-day,
and hopes are entertained that there will
be no conflict. Harrison Bowie, one Of
the negro leaders, was arrested and
taken to The Livingston Jail. The ne
groes are coming in, pleading for peace,
and giving up their arms. The whites
are still organizing and arming them
selves. They do not intend to provoke
a conflict, but act on the defensive.

KINGS MOUNTAIN, August I7.-Yes.
terday evening at three O'Clock, while
the excursion train from Charlotte was
standing on the side-track at this place,
an afffay took place in one of the box
cars where the Charlotte negroes had
liquor to sell, between the Charlotte
darkies and the daIkies of this place.
In few seconds they were all out on
the ground and 8 general fight took
place, in which there were twenty-five
or thirty engaged. They made use of
fists, rocks, sticks, fenee-rais, knives
and pistols. Some twelve or fifteen
shots were fired, but only four took
effect. The Charlotte daTkies did all the
shooting. One Prince Bryant, of the
Kings mountain gold mines, was shot
in the mouth, thigh and leg; none fatal.
One Mon. Horn received a slight shot
below the knee. One or two more of
the Kings mountain negroes were struck
with rocks and sticks; none fatal. Sew
eral of the Charlotte negroes are sup
posed to be pretty badly hurt by rocks,
sticks and knives. II the train had not
left just as it did, there is no doubt q
great many would have been killed, as
the darkies Of the place followed up the
train, throwing rocks, while those on
the train shot back at them. Whisky
was the whole cause, as the principal
ones were all drunk.

SPECULATIONS.
The platform adopted is genuinely
Democratic, and pleases every member
of the party. The Union and Anseri-
cams editorial Of tomorrow, says:
Judging by the platform adopted, the
spirit of Jackson, White, Polk, Grundy,
Bell, Foster, and Cave johnson, in
voked with prsyerful elOqueNee by
Chairman Gus. Henry, has indeed how
cred over the proceedings Of this con-
vention, which not only embodies
very large portion Of the brain of the
State, as happily expressed by Chancel-
lor Van Dyke, but is also representa-
ton of the fearless honesty and solid in
tegrity OF Tennessee's yeomanry. The
platform is so plain, forcible and timely
that, holding it in view, the convention
can hardly make mistake in selecting
a standard bearer who must defend it
through the canvass, and bear it sloft to
triumphant victory in November"
NIGHT SESSION.

journment. All the counties save the

/ THEIR TRIAL.
Taking them to the fair grounds, the
/ crowed halted, when court was opened
/ for testimony. BOILER, Finley, and
! others s0lemniy stated, and with as
4 much minuteness as II in the courtroom,
what they had seen. After this was
over, which REQUIRED full two hours
| time, Mike was led 70 the front OF long
line Of men. The order was given by q
little boy twelve years old: One, two,
three-flreI" p volley from the mouths
Of one hundred pistols was poured into
! him. His body was found there next
morning and quietly buried, by no one
knows whom. 1t was decided that, as
Gabriel had not fred the pistol, and at
most was only accessory to the murder,
he be taken back to fail and put in the
hands of the l&w. Tnis was agreed to,
and he was remanded accordingly, and
the crowd dispersed.
ON SUNDAY BoRNIEG-THE MILITIA
CALLED OUT.
Augusta awoke Su day morning only
To talk of the terrible scenes of the
night before. Many who had partici-
pated at the fairgrounds, and many
who had not, freely expressed the opinion
that both negroes ought to have been
Governor Smith was telegraphed to at
Atlanta to orde. out the military to
guard the jail and patrol the city that
night. Whereupon he dispatched as
sent, when the Richmond Hussars and
one or two companies of infantry turn

and detachments along the streets. But
the night passed of without the slight

Saturday evening. CsL tain Butler told
his wife that when he died, he wanted
to be buried by his old company, the
Oglethorpe light infantry. Yesterday
the company was dispatched the re-
quest, and this morning they reached
the city, in full uniform. At nine
O'Clock long procession was organized
in front of his house, headed by the band
playing the dead march. Then came
the company marching to the front in
platoons, with arms reversed; then the
hearse, with sixteen officers of the line
and one of the staff, all dressed in full
uniform; then the fSmily of the de-
ceased, and long line of carriages, with
sidewalks.
AT TIE CHURCH.
The coffin was borne up the aisle of
the Episcopal church, the first part of
the service read, then taken back to the
hesrse, the procession reformed and
marched to the grave. "Dust to dust"

THE CIVIL RIGHTS MILESTONE.
And this is but another milestone in
the career of the Radical party to force
negro equality and civil rights upon the |
south. These poor negroes had been |
taught the principles of that internal !
bill, that no man had a right to even |
ask them to give way to a lady on a
street car, and that they had perfect |
right to murder Captain Butler for do
ing so,
