Nasnviree, Tenn., July 21.—A special from ml Creck to the American says: weeting of miners which was called for noon yesterday adjourncd. When the men assembled there were a few hotheads who began to talk about fire, but they we siders and not miners. The miners' leaders took possession of the meating and would not allow such action. There werespeeches by a umber of leaders, all of a conservative tone, and advising against any sort of action in violation of the law. Tho men said they simply wanted the convicts sent away, and nothing more or less. Finally a resolution was unanimously passed to appoint a mittee of five togo to Knoxvilie, and Nash- ville if nccessary, to confer with Governor The ro out- and arbitrate the present difti- Commissioner Ford and Assistant Alleman were fuvited to go with the committee, A resolution was unanimously passed that each man pledge himself on his honor that not one dollar’s worth of property would be destroyed and the company's property should be guarded.

Itis not likely that any mino machinery wil be hurt, as the men are tivmly convinced that they will event- ually triumph and take charge of * all the mines. Once lot them think they cannot keep the convicts out and they will toar out the machinery and set fire to every mine here before they take their departure o other sectious of the country to Jook for work The miners are much elated au their success so far withour resistance and ay that no troops can be fouad who will como hero and protect convicts. No one here has as yet any idea of what” the state troops will do—wuether they will be ordered from Knoxville or not. ' The delay in- creased the hilarity of the men hero at_what they term “the perishable goods boxed and shibped away.” When the papers arrived today saying that fifteen companies wero at Kuoxville under experienced leaders, fully equipped with Gatling guns. ammunition and blankets, tho men began to feel serious over the situ- ation. 1t was this which caused the meeting and the appointment of the committeo and led the men to_advise the surrender of those demanded by the officers without bloodshed.

It was occasioned by the areival of additional troops from Memiphis.
