The FORESTS.


A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from Knoxville, under
date of April 18th, sayss
The news Of the capture Of Fort Pill
l0w by Forrest, and the cowardly butch
cry #hieh followed Of blacks and whites
alike, has produced q profonnd sensa-
ton here The universal sentiment is
~ Let no quarters be shown to these
cowardly butchers Of Forests com
mand while the war lastz."
These Forrests-the Oldest Of whom,
Gen. Bedford Forrest, has by this and
other atrpeities obtained such reeozd
Of nfamy - were all negro traders.
There we're four brothsrs-Bedford, who
kept a.slave pen, for FIVE years before
the war, on Adam Street, in the rear Of
the Episcopal Church, Memphis; John,
a cripple and gambler, who was Tailor
and clerk for Bedford; Bill Forrest, an
extensive slave trader at Vicksburg;
and Aaron Forrest, general arent to
sconr the country for the other brothers.
They accumulated large sums of money
in their nefarious trade, and Bedford
won by that and other influences a natu-
raj promotion to Brigadier in the wo-
man-whippiDg, baby.stealing Confeder-
acy. He is about fifty years Of age, tall,
gaunt, and sallow-visaged, with q long
nose, deep-set, black, snaky eyes, full
black beard without monstache, and
hair worn long. he usually wore, while
in the 'ssnigger" trade in Memphis, a
stoye-pipe hat set on the back Of bis
head at an aHgle Of foFsy.fve degrees
He was accounted mean, yindictive, and
unserupulous.
The slave pen Of old Bedford Forrest
on Adams Street, WAS perfect horror
to all negroes far and near. His mode
of furnishing refractory slaves was to
compel four OF bis fslloR slaves TO stand
and hold the victim stretched out IN the
air, aud then Bedford and his brother
John would stand, one on eeeh sids,with
long heavy bull whips, aud cut sp their
victims until the blood triekled to the
ground. Women we're often stripped
naked, and With q bucket of salt water
standing by in which to dip the instru-
ment Of torture, heavy leather thong,
their backs were cut up until the blisters
covered the whole surface, the blood of
their srounds mingling with the briny
mixture to add torment TO the iniliction.
One slave man Was whipped 10 death by
Bedford, who used trace-chaiu doubled
for the purpose Of punishment. The
slave was secretly buried, and the cir
eamstanee was only known to-ths slaves
Of the prison, who pnfy dared To refer to
the circumstances IN whsapera.
Such are the appropriate aisseeedents
in tho character Of the monster who
murdered in cold blood the gallant de-
Tenders Of Fort Pillow.

A Rebel Colonel on Gen. Mcclellan and the
Chicago Democracy.

On Friday evening August 26th, rebel
mail of about fifty letters, on its way North,
was captured near the river, Just above Shep.
ardstown, Va. The carrier is supposed to be
a spy sent out by Early, as nearly all the let
tiers were written by officers and soldiers OF
that Generals command. The following is
an extract from one written by Colonel Dun
ham, deserter to the rebel army
But let me tell you, my dear boy, YOU NAV
pray for peace until Hell freezes over-that
Is, peace with the restoration of the Union
and there will be no peace Mars is re-
lentless, and Concordia is deaf There can
be no peace until Black Republicans and Alb
htlonlsts are silenced and reduced to an
equality, or, at least, level, with the mig
gers they claim as their equals. Let your
Chicago Convention nominate Mr. Davis for
the Presidency-and l know a majority of
the delegates would vote for him if they
dared-and on his election you can and will
have peace. Of course you will not do this.
The next best thing you can do is to nom-
nate and elect Mcclellan. The South don't
regard him as a military genius, as the North
ern press would make the people believe they
do, but they belive MIN TO be what was once
called a Northern man with Southern princi-
pies. His election, my dear boy, would do
much to paclty and conciliate the South
We are satisfied that if you elect him, the right
Of secession and indepe,,dscc eyoadd be ocAeoa-
edged, and that terms Of reconstruction would
be offered, which we might with honor ac-
cept. don't say, however, that they would
be accepted.
1t is my opinion, as it is the opinion of
President Davis, and the leading men of the
South, that the war must continue until one
side or the other is subjugated The more
your democrats render, indirectly,
the sooner we shall be able to vanquish the
abolition hordes, and restore peace and the
Union. 1t may seem paradoxical, but 1 as
sure you, my boy, We are fighting for Union {;
fighting to place the Old United States un-
der one Government, and we shall do it in
such a way that no Abolition baboon will ev-
er again get at the head of it.
