Squire Thomas u. Shumaie. in response

hTc the ardor and enthusiasm of an audi.

a forcihlc and practical manner. and de-
nounced the cry OF the Republican party
that the Democrats were in favor OF free

Government had to be supported, aud as

lie Addresses Two Monster Mee,ings-Demo-
cratic Beef and Democratic EnthuSiasm.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.I
TAzEwELL COURTHOUSE. VA.,)
October 81. 1854.
Reliable gentlemen Just from Russell at
this writing report two splendid Demo-
cratic meetings in Russell last FRIDAY and
Saturday. At Russell's old courthouse
Ellis spoke TO q crowd of 600. and was in
the happieSt OF bis happy veins. This Is
the Radical stronghold, and has been since
the Red Strings and Union Leagues came
like scum 10 the surface after the war.
Many converts can now testify TO the eff
cacy of EIlis's preaching from the Old
courthouse down to OsbOrn'S Ford.
The crowd at ROsedale on saturday was
estimated at from 200 by Republicans 70
1900 by Democrats. And it is said that
Ellis surpassed himself there. Our million
airc cattle-merchant. Mr.. Alexander Stuart.
sent up fOui-hOrse load of good beef and
its concomitants, while all his neighbors
We'd with each other in getting up a first
class Democratic spread. From all ac-
counts, this was the biggest crowd that has
yet been gotten together in the Ninth dis.
trict during the canvass. And Democrats
who were there Will listen TO nothing but
predictions Of success in the State and the
country.
We had terrific wind-storm last night.
and slight drizzle Of rain this morning.
During the storm last night there was a
fusion Of the parties. The storm threatened
10 tear the rival banners to pieces, when
men Of both parties united in taking them
down. This was, probably, because only
few were on the street, and fusion (as
in West Virginia was deemed necessary.
