Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1861-03-02
COL. SAN. TATE.

in yesterdays issue, complains that Col. TATE
has rendered the free use Of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad, to the governor OF Mis-
sissippi, for the transportation Of troops and
munitions Of war. It is not the first time that
Col. TATE has been assailed for this, and his
sssaiiSpts have overlooked entirely The fact,
that The worthy president, in 50 doing, has
only complied with the orders OF the board
Of directors. They passed the resolution ten
dering free transportation for troops and muni-
lions Of war, and be was instructed to com
municate the resolution to the governor Of that
State. From the well known southern senti-
ment Of Col. TATE and bis sympathy for the
gallant people Of Mississippi, who have as
serted and will maintain their freedom, we in
fer that the resolution met his hearty approval
A citizen Of Mississippi, who ventures to con-
plain Of this liberal act Of a private corpora
ton, deserves the bastinado for bis ingratitude.
COMMISSIONERS FROM THE CON-
FEDERATE STATES
We notice from our Montgomery exchanges
that President DAVIS has appointed the Hon.
JOHN Forsyth Of Alabama, Hen. Martin J.
CRAWFORD Of Georgia, and Hon. Mr.. Ro-
MAINE Of Louisiana, as the commissioners
from the Confederate States to the United
States, for the purpose Of visiting Washington
and negotiating for the delivery Of all oecu-
pied forts Hthe seeded States, and the recog-
milton Of the new Government. This is the
proper method Of procedure, and augurs we'll
for the diplomatic forecast OF The President
and his advisers. They will first see what
v~irture there is in treaty and negotiation, and
in case Of failure will substitute the, per-
haps, more efeetual instrumentalities of pow
der and steel.
FRoM ARIzoEA.-Ws learn from St. Louis
papers Of the 2sh nlt.J that The overland mail
stage, going west, was attacked by the Indians
at Apacha pass. Atrafn was destroyed and
eight men were murdered. The road had been
barricsded for two miles with rocks. The pas
sengers in the stage we've saved BY being ahead
u time. and coming upon the obstfaeti ions
IN daylight. Large quantities Of hay had beer
piled in the road, ready to be fired by the In.
dams at the approach Of the stage, which they
supposed would occur in The night. A CON-
pany sf sixty United States troops are at the
pass. errr- -Hrr
