SITUATION.

COH02t2On OF InIn9S-heC. EetTOteym
z. Nasby's Reports Of the Meeting.
The citizens Nv the Corners hev bin
profoundly moved by the sitooashen Nv
things in Washington, and felt called
upon to make sum expression Nv their
feelins on the topiks that are now age
tatin the kentry.
The Corners felt called upon to ex-
press in public manner that it recog-
nizes the result Nv the late war, and de-
sires nothing so much ez peace and
quiet; that it fully recognizes that the
nigger is free, and is entitled to rites /;
and the Corners is trooly loyal to the
Government of the Yoonited States.
l called at the meetin-house, the
scene Nv so many demonstrations, and
a committee of ladies headed by Mrs.
Bascom prepared it for the sollum Okla
sion. 1t was draped with the flags Nv
the different Confedrit regiments which
was raised in this seckshun, and that the
proper excitement mite be prodoosed,
all the reliks of the war wuz brot out
and displayed. Deekin Pogram's daw-
tor Mirandy he'd on each side Nv the
pulpit desk the skulls Nv two Federel
hirelins wich her lover brot from Bull
Run, Illuminated with candles, wich was
fanked by the thigh bones Nv severel
other birelins wich Captain McFelter
brot from Andersonville. The drum
witch Issaker Gavitt beet at Fort Pillow
wuz draped with a battle flag Simeon
Pettus carried at the same victory, and
other mementoes Nv the great struggle
for the South wuz properly displayed.
The percession filed out NV Bascom's,
the men dressed in Confedrit gray and
the win hevin the colors Nv the Confed-
eracy in miniatoor pinned to their left
breasts, hedid by fife and drum under
the stars and bars, and playin "The
Benny Bloc Flag"
Wv cource made the openin speech.
| repelled with skorn the accusashun
that the South he'd any idee that ther
WIZ any feelin Nv disloyalty at the
Corners. The Corners wuz detected in
its struggle for human rites and the per-
petooashen Nv Afrikin slavery, and,
hevin bin detected, accepted the sitooa-
shen. The Corners, espeshly, vile it
Good never forgit how crooelly it he'd
bin disappointed in not preservin its hev-
Unborn rites. wuz ez loyal ez any simi-
liar place, and desired to live in peece
and harmony with ther brethren Nv the
North.
Deekin Pogram repelled with skorn
the akkusashun that ther wuz any differ
ence between the two races at the Cor
ners. Here peece and quiet rains, and
there he'd bin no trouble. He knew NV
200 niggers wich wuz very quiet, thanks
to the shot-guns Nv the intrepid Gavitt
and the shivalrous MPelter. And eff
this wretched race personnel to make
any more trouble, ther wuz, thank hev-
in, still powder and buck shot in the
Corners, and gallant men who never
missed a nigger's head, when they draw
ed bead onto it. The niger he'd
learned his place, and he Good ashoor
his friends Nv the North that he wood
never trubble nobody, and that he Good
safely be left to the guidance Nv his
material pertectors, his former masters.
And then he demanded freedom Nv
eleckshuns. He wanted EN- free, ez they
wuz afore the war. when the citizens Nv
the Corners Good hang ablishnist wich
offered to vote without feer Nv interfer-
en- Nv Fedral bayonits. The South must
be free.
