The Knoxville Whig papers come lfelghted
with glowing descriptions Of the great East Ten
nessee Wing Convention, which was held there
on the 18th, l4lh and 18th of August. The
number is variously estimated, but by none un-
der Twenty Thousand. Several OF the Coun-
ties sent Delegations equal to the number OF their
entire Wing vote. Alabama, Virginia, Ken
tucky and North Carolina were all respectfully
represented, but the great mass of those on the
ground were East Tennesseeans, from the Coun-
ties of Rhea, Monroe, Blount, Hawkins, Granger,
Greene, Anderson, Jefferson, hcMinn, Morgan
Roanc, SC. The Hawkins Delegation bore of
the Ladies' Prize Banner, although that from
Rhea was adludged TO have equal claims, but
magnanimously yielded, and the Ladies an
nounced that another Banner should forthwith
be prepared and presented 10 them.


The immense procession having arrived on
the ground, the Convention was organized by
appointing Hon. LUKE LEA OF Bradley County
President. Eloquent speeches were delivered by
Messrs. BELL, JARNAGIN, FOSTER, Cross, and
others, When the vast concourse adjourned in the
highest spirits. The KNOXVILLE Post, in con
cluding its account of the Convention, says:

Who can doubt of our success. with such evidences

the Union from the disasters with which II Is threat
