About five weeks ago, and while ia the

assaulted by a desperate named Bill Rol.

places with a long-bladed pocket knife.

as the case was not Troublesome" made
no further demands upon his client.

"All right" said the lawyer. "YOu

THE SOCIAL

We have delayed editorial comment on
the proposed Social Reunion of the East
Tennessee Federal Soldiers, in order that
the soldiers themselves, upon whom the
success Of the event depends, might claim
the honor Of its Inauguration an honor
70 which they are now entitled, to the e1-
sluSion Of the entire press Of East Ten.
nessee. Many Of tie papers in this d.
vision OF the State, have treated the pro
posed Reunion with silent contempt,
while othsrs have treated it with a notice,
- ~discouraging as the ability Of the au.
thor would enable him to use to express
bic secret opposition to the measure.
Wealude to these facts, not for the
purpose Of criticizing the conduct os our
sotemporaries in this respect, 30 much as
to show that the movement has been
outside Of newspaper enterprise, and in
fact without much newspaper aid up to
this time. Now that the soldiers are
determined to havea grand rally some
where in East Tennessee this fall, it
seems, that the press should not stand
back any longer, but without regard to
any political On other consideration, con.
tribute their mite, by openly encouraging
these patriotic gatherings. The univer.
sal endorsement of the proposed Reunion
among the officers and soldiers, from
Knoxville to Bristol surpssses the ex>
peetations Of the most Sanguine friends
81 the proposition. and that the Reunion
will come off this fall is now certain.
A Primary meeting will be held we
understand at Greeneyillc, 10Th Of May,
Tor the appointment Of com mittees, &C.,
to make arrangements for the Reunion.
and We hope working mer will be put on
duty. as much depends on the commit
tees to make the affair interesting.
It is thought that Gen. Sherman, Gen.
Burnsids, Andrew johnson and other dis,
tisguished gentlemen will consent to be
present this fall, and oil we have to say,
II they do, is, that the first annual Re.
Union Of the East Tennessee Federal Sol.
diers will be the biggest thing that was
ever witnessed in the Volunteer State"
