Col. Forney writes to the Philadelphia
Press regarding the senseless and bitter
opposition Of the Border State members
OF Congress to the suggestions of the Pres
ldent's recent message
Ii the Border State men in Congress
expect to conduct coming campaigns upon
the basis Of an agreement with the Breck-
lnrdge Democracy, and of opposition to
President Lncoln and his Administration,
after having been opposed and oppressed
by the one, and encouraged and strength
encd by the other, they can do nothing
better than by agreeing now to any terms
that may be offered by the rebels in arms.
! do not believe that this is their purpose.
Indeed, all their interests are against such
a dissemination but that they took step
backward on Monday and Tuesday, and
one from which they cannot soon recover,
is, suggest, entirely beyond controversy.

Jeans and lindseys from Oldham Scott Il Co.,
which they have manufactured into cloth
ing. The rebels paid for these goods in Con-
federate scrip. unless the owners refused to
receive it, in which event no consideration
was given,
Reliable individuals from Lexington, who
have conyersed with rebel soldiers, are conf.
dent that battle must ensue before the reb.

them they prefer being killed or captured
rather than march over the mountains again.
This seems to be the conclusion of the whole
