GzN. N: 3. FoRREsr. The Memphis
Bulletin says: Statements have often found
places in public journals with reference to
the conduct Of Gen. Forrest, which have not
the slghaest foundation Of truth. 1t was
recently asserted that he was so odous, in
the neighborhood Of his plantation, that he
could not live there in safety that his life
was threatened BY those whom he had
wronged while the war progressed; that he
had said that bribery would procure q pardon
when all other means had failed. There is
not the semblance of truth in any Of these
statements. He spends most Of his time in
this city ; is parsistcntly devoted to business ::
ayows at all times, and under al circulystta1n
ces his acquiosence in the established order
Of things, and is to-day as he y5ts years ago,
a st'nnch friend and adhereg.t Of the Presi-
dent. 1.-THE Press t3legrafl fic correspondent,
who dissemhates these baaolcss stories as re-
CARDS General Forrest Would have an item
Of truth, let Us say to him that Forrest was
the frst general oticeg Of the whiom Con
fadcrate army whom We heard say that the
Jlnion was restored. Z He used this express
sion at MERIDIAN, Miss, when he heard Of
l'ees surrender. He has never uttered a
word Or done deed in contravontion Of the
proposition then advanced Ee asks it not
at our hands, bit we only DO him simple
justice n making the above statement"
