The following article from Wednesdays
Bulletin, gives encouraging promise Of a
speedy release of large amount Of cash
capital, the calling il Of which BY the bank
ers in perfecting their arrangements has con-
tributed much toward the stringency Of the
money market:
The Bulletin to-day contains advertise
ments announcing the formation of two new
banking institutions in this city, growing out
OF the dissolution Of the eminent firm Of
Donohoe, Ralston & Co. MeSsrS. DoRohoc
and Kelley withdraw the large capital they
have heretofore so successfully employed i'll
the old concern, and will reopen business on
their own account in the elegant new bank
ing house now approaching completion on
Montgomery street. The interests of Messrs.
Fretz and RalSton in the old firm are to be
merged in a new one called 1.-The Bank of Cali
fornia," which will be under the direction Of
MessrS. Fretz i Ralston, and which will
start with paid-up cash capital of 81 ,0OO,OOO
gold money. The new concern will occupy
the old building 1t the corner OF Battery and
Washington streets. Some twenty or more
well-knowu citizens, who rank among the
mos: prominent capitalists of California,
compose this institution. which, considering
the amount Of capital paid up-equal to ST.
000,0 600 OF Eastern currency-muSt give 1t
high rank among the banks OF the United
States. This is the first joint stock company
Incorporated under the laws Of the State for
banking purposes and the fact that it COM
mences operation under the control Of so
many of our experienced and wealthy citl-
gems, is a guarantee that it must succeed and
be a public benefit. The concentration of so
much available capital for immediate bank
ing purposes will, doubtless, have tendency
to create ease in the money market at a time
when the business interests OF the State are
depressed from a variety OF causes, peculiar,
it is hoped, to this season.
In addition to the two new banks named
above, it is automatically reported that two
others are soon to be established in this city
by foreign capitalists, with large means, viz :
the British and California Banking Com
pany, whose prospectus has been sometime
before the public, and the British and Amer
lean Banking Company, whose agents are
now here upon reconnaissance. Besides
these, it is rumored that several other wealthy
corporations of the kind are about to estab-
lish agencies among us. And, finally, we
NAV. observe that the active capital OF this
coast is being constantly augmented by con-
siderable investments in our mining and 9TH
or securities on Eastern and Foreign account
All these circumstances together seem to
give assurance of increased means for the de-
welcoming the resources OF the country and
providing an easy money market for business
men in general, while it will probably lead
to a material reduction in the rates OF inter

Portrait of FOrrest--.HIs Antecedenfs and
Character.


The hpoxvllle correspondent OF the New
York Tribune furnishes the following:
These Forests, the Oldest of whom, Gen.
Bedford Forrest, has, BY the Fort Pillow
and other atrocities, obtained such record
of infamy, were all negro traders. There
were four brothers-Be Bedford, who kept a
negro pen for FIVE years before the war. on
Adams street, in rear of The Episcopal
Church, Memphis; John, cripple and a
gambler. who was iailor and clerk for Bed
ford: Bill Forrest, an extensive negro ira
der at Vicksburg and Aaron Forrest, gen
eraI agent and soul-driver for his other
brothers. They accumulated large sums
of money in their nefalious trade, and Bed
ford won 3y that and other influences a nat
ural promotion to Brigadier, in the wo-
man whipping, baby stealing rebel confed-
eracy. He is about fifty years Of age tall,
gaunt, and salow- visaged, with a long nose,
deep-set, black, snaky eyes, full black beard,
without a mustache, and hair worn long.
He usually wore, while in the ''nigger"
trade in Memphis, stoYe-pipe hat set on
the back of his head at an angle of forty
FIVE degrees. He was accounted mean. vim
dictiye, cruel, and INSCRIPTIONS. He ha
two wives-one,white the other Catharinel
colored. by each of which ne had two child
rem. His ''patriarchal'' wife, Catharine,
and his white wife had frequent quarrels or
domestic jars. --1
The slave pen of old Bedford Forrest. on
Adams street, was perfect horror to all
negroes far and near. His mode Of pun
ishing refractory slaves was to compel four
Of his fellow slaves to stand and hold the
victim stretched out in the air, and then
Bedford and his brother John would stand,
one on each side, with long. heavy bull
whips, and cut up their victims until the
blood trickled to the ground. Women were
often stripped naked, and with bucket Of
salt water standing by, in which to dip the
instrument of torture, heavy leather
thong, their backs were cut up until the
blisters covered the whole serface, the blood
of their wounds mingling with the briny
mixture to add torment to the iufliction.
One slave man was whipped to death by
Bedford, who used trace chain doubled
for the purpose of punishment. The slave
was secretly buried, and the circumstance
WAS only known 10 the slaves of the prison,
who only dared to refer to it in whispers.
Such are the appropriate antecedents in
the character of the monster who murdered
in cold blood the gallant defenders of Fort
Pillow. -
