formed his duty. Now, we know that
there is nothing like impartiality; but
we object to offering the police pre-
MUM for arresting gentlemen whom
they know can pay, and letting slip
those loafers and Migrants from whom
fine could not be collected. We also OBJ
iect to the habit of lecturing gentlemen,
in regard to the morality Oftheir conduct.
Wholesome advice may occasionally be
given to confirmed and hardened sin
ners. but we do not consider it neces
sary for the peace and good order of the
city, to administer terrible rebuke and
make public exhibition of gentlemen
who may occasionally overstep the
bounds of propriety, and fall into the
hands of the watch. We think, BESIDES
the police ought to be instructed to use
some discretion, as they are in every
other civilized community, about ar
resting parties, and should be permitted
to elect, when they make arrests, be-
tween taking their prisoners to their
| homes or to the watch:house.. There is
not a gentleman in the city but would
willingly pay an officer, or the State
either, twice the amount of the fine, to
be shielded from exposure, and from the
Mayors morning lecture. We trust
there will be some reform in this re-
spect.

LETTER FROM GEN. FORREST.

M. G. Galloway, Editor Apdionche-
On my arrival in Memphis, few days
since, from my plantation, u copy of the
AUalanche was shown me, in which |
am represented as having fled the coun-
try. l thank you for The kind manner
in which you yindicated my name from
Misrepresentation. Owing to the rela-
lions you occupied towards me during
the last three years, l know of no one
better calculated to do me justice than
yourself
Your repref entation of certain Incl
dents in my military career are true
and will be cOrroborated by every man
in my command, and by most of the
colOred troops, some of whom are men
in my employ. But in defending me, l
regret that you should suppose for mo-
ment that l could be induced to leave
the country. Certainly no act or eX-
preston of mine could have furnished
ground for such a superstition. In sur
rendering my command in April last, in
public address to my troops, | urged
them to return home-to be true to their
obligations, and as they made good sol
ders, I knew they would make good,
law-abiding oitizeps.
No soldier of my command has been
false to his pledges. ! have certainly
been true to mine, for since the'surren :
der, have been silent and unobtrusive,
quietly laboring upon my farm, and |
regret my seclusion is so often disturbed
by reports in the newspapers, which are
as unjust to the government as they are
to my own character. / have never
committed an act, uttered q word, or en-
tertained a sentiment not in strict ac-
cordance with the most humanizing
military usages, and fear no investigation
into my conduct. r ~
certainly do not intend to leave the
country, for my destiny is now with the
great American Union, and shall con-
tribute all my influen ce toward strength
ening the government sustaining its
credit, and uniting the people once more
in the indissoluble bonds of peace and
affection. AS ever, truly your friend,

Col. & Asst. Com'r. State of Va

John Mitchell is living in Paris, and
acting in the capacity of correspondent
of the New York News. He writes
friendly letters also to the Head-Center
of the Fenians in this country. Whether
lie is plotting the overthrow of empires,
or intends to pass the remainder of his
days in the quiet walks of private life,
is not known; but we judge from the
following that as he grows older, he be-
comes less radical and much more con-
sentative in his views of politics. He
finds an excuse for muzzling the press in
France. 1t is strange that so devoted a
champion of liberty should ever apollo
,,ize for the least infringement of human
rights in any quarter. But the tran
sitiOn from democrat to q mOnarchst is
'sSSs.y ~sss,
of our countrymen who have sought and
obtained an asylum in other lands
Mitchell thinks now that there IS such q
thing as allowing the press too much
liberty, and We suppose his old friends
in Richmond will agree with him but
how comes it that the government O
Louis Napoleon can be endangered by
free discussion, while full license to tn,
press cannot injure our government
That government cannot be very deeply
rooted in the affections of the Peep
which is not able to Withstand all the
assaults of free and untrammeled press
The following is from Mitchell's last
letter:
''If the Emperor means to continue
Emperor, (Which l think he does,) and
If the great mass of the French people,
who are at his back, wish for quiet life
and the peaceful pursuits of business,
and no more revolutions in their day, il
is absolutely necessary to restrain the
press, just so far as it is restrained. I'm.
agine One-half the journals of Paris
coming out every morning with articles
showing that the Emperor is Hsurper
and that the true ruler of France is Henri
", or an Orleans prince now in England,
or else that a republic is the only adj
Missile government! So long as there
is in France an Orleanist party, and an
old Bourbon party, and Republican
party, just so long must their organs be
restrained from proclaiming themselves
in any of those senses"

MANUFACTURE OF WArERs.-The mode OF
making the best quality of waters, as prac-
ticed by the English manufacturers, is as fol.
lows: Fine wheat -four is taken and mixed
with white of eggs and isinglass into very
smooth paste; this is spread over the tin
plates evenly, and dried in an oven, several
plates being placed one over the other to COM
municata glossy surface to the waters
When dry the sheets of paste thus formed
arc laid upa9 pile, about an inch or more
in depth, and cut into circular pieces by a
hollow punch, which allows the wafer to pass
up its tubular cavity and discharge themselves
sideways as the cutting proceeds, which is eff
sected with great rapidly. The variety Of
colors that are ordinarily communicated to
waters is given them in the paste. by the usual
pigments in the dry powdered state, or pre-
vloussy dissolved in the water employed.
The French isingiass waters, made in
France, are formed of isinglass dissolved in
water to the proper consistence, which is
poured out upon plates of glass provided
with borders, and laid upon level table; to
prevent the glue from sticking to the plates
little OK gall. or other suitable material, is
rubbed over them. Previous to the isinglass
becoming quite dry, they are cut through
along the borders. The leaves are then re-
moved and cut out with hollow punches, as in
the case Of other waters. The various eolors
are also communicated to them by pigments

proaches with smiles and caresses. Borrow
ing for the first time appears open to no OBJ

was rashly taken by the hunter into his house.
When it was young, it was reared with his
dogs and placed among his children. 1t was
mild in temper, and fawned upon every one.
But when 1t grew up and felt its strength, it
deluged the house with gore"

Garibaldi.

Il 10 om;nous of coming events that roy
al decree has been issued in Italy empower
inc Gen. Garibaldi to raise twenty battalions
of volunteers. The thing will be done quick
enough, for the decree itself is the result Of
irresistible popular pressure. The King of
Italy may have, and probably does have, the
greatest admiration Of Garibaldi as q military
leader. But the lion of Caprera is not light.
ly to be summoned from his island lair, for
he has become so identified with the cause Of
the people in Europe, and his presence is so
magnetic with the masses of his countrymen,
that summonlng him to arms is about equva-
lent to a declaration of war. And then
Garibaldi is such, foe to routine and con
ventioaalities, and pursues his own convic
tons SO fercely, that the War Office and all
the men Of policy want nothing to do with
him while they can possibly get along with
out him.
From some such reason, probably, La
Marmora the Italian War Minister, desired,
if he must call on Garibaldi, to give him
mixed command Of regulars and volunteers,
the whole to be under the general command
of Cialdini But neither Garibaldl nor his
friends would consent to this. off the King
trusts me- said he. '.let him give me an in
dependent command of my volunteers. Reg
uar Generals do not understand how
to deal with such an irregular
force. If he does not trust me, re-
main quietly at Caprera, until he needs me
upon my own terms" In the meantime the
popular demand for Garibaldl was swelling
every day, until the Government could with
stand il no longer. But so web was the lnev-
liable result foreseen, that some time before
the royal decree appeared, firm in one of
the Italian cities received an order for $4,000
red shirts. More than that number will soon
be needed, if we may judge from the pres
ent signs.
Plans Of the coming campain have already
been drawn by enthusiastic Italians. who as
eign TO Garibaldi the arduous work Of out
thanking the Austrians through the Tyrol.
while the main Italian army engages them in
front But these speculations are of no
value. 1t is yet possible that peace may be
preserved, for there is great reluctance on all
sides to strike the first blow. But If the is
sue Of arms should be joined we cannot tell
in what order the combatants would appear.
1t is possible that the conflict for time might
be confined to Italy and Austria, Prussia next
striking in, and then the minor German
States. and then possibly France, if not Rus.
STA. But we know that If war does come, one
OF its chief actors will be Garibaldi the hero
OF three great conflicts--two successes and
Que failure-and that when bis sword is once
drawn it will be hard to prevent him from
trying his fortunes again on the field of that
old failure, that is, at Rome, the heart of
ltaly.-BoSton Journal.
