The COnlniencenaen Of tho
CaEnpafgn of 1864 in the
West.

A leading and prominent German Re-
publican paper, the st. Louis Westliehe
Post, thus speaks of the capture of Fort
Pillow:
For more than four months we in the
North have recruited, equipped; organi-
zed and reorganized, and have reinforced
our armies by several hundred thousand
men, SO as finally to annihilate the enemy
upon whom we had inflicted such terrible
blows last year. Instead of that we hear
of nothing but disasters. Forrest sd
vances into Kentucky at the head of d
large force; Union City falls either by the
treachery or cowardice Of the commander:
Paducah holds cut only through the bra
very of its garrison; but the enemy advan-
ces unpunished further and plunders
without opposition, planting his rebel fag
finally, after brave resistance, upon Fort
i Pillow. Three weeks pass away after the
surrender of Union City, aud all these
three weeks our military authorities could
not make arrangements to oppose Forrest
by sufficient force and throw him back
from the Ohio, to where he had advanced.
All that was done was to send Grierson
after him with some cavalry. But For
rests corps so far outnumbered Grisrson q
that the latter could do nothing. s
Forrest was known as an enterprisirg 2
enemy. He had advanced into a region
which not only contained large amount
: OF war material, but which was also oil
strategic Importance. His raid threaten
ed navigation on the Ohio and Mississippi
and might cut off Memphis. Govern
ment had three weeks time to avert the
disaster from Fort Pillow, and, neve;
, theless, nothing, nothing was done it
avert 1T.
: The miserable cries Of those who were
, butchered at Fort Pillow fill tho hearts
, of all patriots with sadness and revenge
and is a new, terrible testimony to th,
fncapacity of our chief military rulers
The consequence of this disaster canno
, yet be estimated. Memphis, Columbus
and all our Mississippi connections ar,
threatened. Even our eastern connec
tons are exposed by FORESTS raids
He may endanger our communication
with the Cumberland army. All thi
could have been prevented if corps o
eight or ten thousand men could hav
: been sent against him Mt, the first star,
Now, perhaps, double that number wi,

!, sequences of this sin OF omission. nss o.

DecfsiO of the Supreme c
Court on the Army Vote.

The Supreme Court of the State OF
Ohio opened yesterday morning at eight
oclock, and announced its decision In the
Wayne county contested election case,
on an appeal from the decision OF Judge
Sample, by which the Democratic candi-
dates for county Offices in Wayne were
declared elected The case involved the
question of the coustitutionality of the
law OF 1863. giving persons absent in the
military service Of the Government the
right to vote at all elections in this State.
Chief Justice Brinkerhoff announced
as the decision of the Court that the law
was constitutional, and therefore in full
force and effect, and that the. elections
held under it were valid. The decision
of Judge Saihpfe in the Wayne county
Common Pleas was reversed, and the Re
publican candidates for the several OH
ces ntested declared duly elected.
Justice Brinkerhof also stated tina
Judge Rahney, who was absent, dissent
ed frem the decision of the Court. Th'
dissenting opinion will doubtless be pub
) lished in due time.
The result of the contest surprised no
, body. Although there were many VIII
: were firmly of the opinion that there Ii
nothing in the constitution authorizing
: the casting of votes outside of the j-ris
diction and geographical limits Of tn
State, there were few indeed, who anticI
pated that, in the present condition of tn
t politics of the State, the Supreme Cour
{ would render decision contrary to tn
/. one they did.-Stdtcs0aan.

ep The affair ut Fort Pillow, which is
some sixty miles above Memphis on the
river, the past week has created unusual
excitement, and Congress has ordered the
COMMITTEE on the War" to investigate
lit, by sending portion of the Committee
to the region Of the affair.
Forrest, it is said, with greatly supe-
rior forcu, demanded the surrender of the
Fort, which was commanded by some 200
white and 800 or 400 black soldiers. One
account says that he made three separate
demands for the surrender. This being
declined, he made the assault and took
the Fort. The negroes, who were in front
when Forests men scaled the emhank-
ments, fed to the rear, and before the
white soldiers could be brought up, their
chances for defense we're passed, and sur
rendered, having lost their commander
Major Booth The account, are very
conflicting; when sifted closely, as to what
did occur. War is barbarous enough a
! best, but when it becomes one of exter
mination, as ours is likely to become, i
civilians I" at home can make it SO, thel
tthe inhumanity is beneath the charaete
tof brutes. Reports from Washington ar
that General Sherman has dispatched I,
the War Department: that 53 whites wer
killed and 100 wounded, and 800 black
killed, or murdered in cold blood
