Gen. Forrest.

The SroRy OF HIS ELIanT TO MExlc'
EXrLoDED,--There' have recently bee
many conflicting rumors in regard y
the whereabouts Of Gen. Forrest, !
being very positively stated and gen
orally believed that ccrtaln hints from
the direction Of Washington, had in
duccd him to quietly cmigratc to Mcyi
60, We are glad to perceive that thes'
sensational reports are utterly withou
foundation. The following comments
from two leading Memphis papers vii
serve TO dismiss all doubt Oh the sub

Iron the Memphis Appeal
Ne had the pleasure Of meeting this
Distinguished gentleman yesterday, and
was glad to see him looking in fine
health and spirits. The General in re-
ply to an allusion TO the canara OF his
having gone 10 Mexico, requested us
to say, that he has not been nor has he
the rcmotcst idea Of going, anywhere
else than back to his plantation, where
he aud u goodIy number OF black men
are hard at work tryingto make enough
to live on, pay taxes, and help the
Government to get out Of debt. He
advises every body else to do the same
thing. He is ~ earnest and sincere n
supporter Of the Government as he was
n good fighter, and thinks the right
way to get out Of our troubles is for
every body to be ut work, and in the
discharge Qfall the duties resting upon
them.
From the Bulletin, same date.l
General Forrest yesterday on the.
steamer Vicksburg, in the course Of
conversation being asked how he could
be in Mexico and Memphis, replied
hat he was not responsible for his
rapid Iocomotion. "TcIl all whom it
may concern says the General, SHAT
Forrest may be found at any time on
lis farm, among his plows, hoes and
c~ndeavoring to make y sup
port, and that others would do well to
settle down with like purposes, and let
he world know that they can be found
Il all times to- answer the calls Of their
government. AS for me, ! did all in
ny powerto break UP the government,
,ut | have found it u useless under
and an now resolved to stand
~ the government as earnestly and
honestly rs when fought it"
We will swear, if need be, that these
we're Forests words, as We can recall
hem. They were uttered in conversa-
ion with personal friends. lhad.
stephens should be silcnced by his Ian
,uage. Forrest means what he says.
Any prosecution for acts Of his during
var must now be based upon purpose

A BARGAIN 8 A BARGAIN Senator Wade.
of Ohio, is reported to have said that he for
one intended to vote to admit every South
ern State that adopted the constitutional
amendment. He and Summer have had soma
hard words. These Senators stood facing
each other for several minutes, Mr.. Wade con,
tending that Congress was honorablv bound
to consider the constitutional amendment. If
adopted by the Southern States. q within =
reasonable time" az conclusive of their
right to representation, Mr.. Summer as ear
nestly denying that there was any such agree
ment or understanding. Mr. Wade said he
should stand by his bargain, when Mr.. Sum-
ner, waving his hand at Mr.. WaGe said.
Then, sir, we part company"
We clip the above from one Of our ex-
changes. We do not think any such conyer
sation occurred between Messrs. Wade and
Sumner. There is no good reason why these
distinguished and patriotic men should dif.
fer on this subject. No Southern State win
in any event, adopt the Howard amendment.
The traitors who control these States regard
this amendment with abhorence, and look
upon all Northern public men like Mr.. Wade
Mr. Sumner, Mr.. Stevens, Mr.. Sherman, Nj.
Kelly, MIR. Boutwell, and others, with the ut
most hatred, contempt, and scorn. It isim-
possible to overstate this feeling among trait
ors here towards the government and those
public men and people who control the nov
ernment These traitors should be- hansilasl
by the law-making power of the c0untrv
and the sooner it is done the better - -

Puh,ic Sentiment.

Since our return home we have conversed
with many Union men, and heard from 9th
ers by letter, and we take pleasure in saying
that they are all enthusiastically in favor of
Mr.. Stevens bill. The only objection me have
Heard to it is that 1t is not sufficiently stringent
on rebels. The wish of all those with whom
we have convcrsed is, that the oath in the
bill should be applied to voters as well as
oAice-hoders We call the attention of our
friends In Congress to these points.
Three of our leading friends in joint
letter to us, say:
"We hope Congress will lay down its pol
icy at once, so that loyal citizens may not
longer be held in suspense 1t is the only
mode to crush out the rebellion. to make
Union principles honorable, and treason
odious"
A friend writing us from Forsyth County
says:
ave are delighted at the prospect of get
ting the protection and laws Of the United
States as a Territory. We have been under
secession rule for the last six years, and we
now wish to live the next SIX years under the
protection of the United States Wewant
the whole set,of secessionists and latter-day
war men like Graham & Co. disfranchised, as
a measure Indispensable to protection to
loyal men,"
A leading citizen of Western County
writes to a member of the Legislature as
follows:
- am sorry to hear of the strength of
| traitors incur Legislature l have no doubt
! Congress viii rriieye us. This iconciiat;on
business towards traitors Is not only bad
! policy, hut it is criminal What loyal men
sny yncfe sssi men u !csis.ats fs,s-
them? What business have these disloyal-
lists here? They did their best to destroy
our government and to establish their " be-
loved Confederacy," and they are as full of
treason as they ever were. If they are per-
mitted TO remain among us, it is more than
they deserve. The only way we can live in
peace with them is for the United States
government to deprive them Of the right to
vote and hold Office, hang a number of their
leaders according to law, and coniscate their
lands. II Congress will only do this, we
think loyal men can get along pretty WELL"

The North-carolina Delegation.

Gov. Worth's North-C Carolina delegation,
including himself, Chief Justice Ruffin, Ex-
Gov. Swain and Hon Nit Boyden, had in
terviews with the President and the Attor-
neyGeneral to-day rega1iing the subject of
Gen. Sickles' recent ordtr in the Carolinas,
prohibiting corporal pun lshment. The laws
of North Carolina, as well known, provide
for the punishment of ldrceny, perjury and
bigamy by public whipping; and there
being no Penitentiary in the State, and the
law being applicable not only to men and
women, but to offenders Of every race and
color, the delegation were instructed to
come here for the purpose of influencing the
authorities to rescind thl order. They ex-
press themselves satisfied with the result of
their interviews, and hopb from the intima-
tions they have received tA:t the object will
soon be accomplished Incidentally the dele
cation will undoubtedly Do something to-
ward counteracting the efprts of Ex-Gov.

Beware I!

We learn that plan is on foot to give the
control of the N. C. Railroad and Western
N. C. Railroad to the cliques, who hold them
at present, forever. The States interest is
to be placed in their hands, without voice
to demonstrate against bad management, or
monopoly, by giving the stockholders tvo
directors to every one appointed by the
State. This is to be done at once, and ire
vocably. s'st
The State owns two-thirds of these roads.
and is entitled to full representation for ey-
cry cent of stock which she has subscribed.
If this thing be done, and the argument
used is that the State has always managed
her interest badly, what guarantees have we
that bad management on the part Of stock
holders can ever be checked2 If the charters
are to be thus amended, let it be 50 done that
the State may resume her rights whenever she
desires to do so.
We warn Legislators to beware Of this
partizan scheme, which may grow into .
huge and dangerous monopoly. e

Compensation for Slaves.

In the House of Representatives, on the
18th, Mr. Rice, from the Committee on
Freedman's Affairs, reported adversely on
the petition of L. P. Devereux, of Halifax,
N. c., for compensation on account of slaves
set free by proclamation of emancipation.
Too late. If the voice of the peace men
of this State had been needed in 1858, the
war would have been stopped, hundreds of
thousands of precious lives would have been
saved, the devastation and ruin of whole
States would have been prevented, and the
Southern people would have obtained
compensation for their slaves. But the in
sane leaders of the rebellion staked all and
lost all. They pould have it so. They did
it recklessly, desperately, and wickedly,
against the tears and prayers of their own
Southern brethren. For the last year or two
of the war they must have knoun that sue
cess was impossible, but, solely from revenge
and hatred to the Northern people, they
fought on, forcing thousands of poor white
men into their armies to be slaughtered, thus
acting the part of murderers and sealing the
doom of their exhausted and afflicted coun-
try. Now, they not only aspire to rule the
people whom they have ruined, but they de-
mand that loyal whites and blacks shall be
taxed to pay them for their slaves. This 7.
P. Deyereux and all other 7. P. Devereux's
will be disappointed. They may be thank
full if the Congress should permit them to re-
tain their lands.

The North.Carolina Enabling Act.
In the House, on the 10Th, Mr. Stevens cal
led up abill reported from the committee on
reconstruction, at the last session, providing
the conditions on which the Southern States
may be readmitted. He offered some amend
ments. This bill now stands as the first spe-
ciaI order. ~
The meaning of this no doubt is, that Mr..
Stevens has offered tine North Carolina ena-
bling bill as an amendment to his owa bill,
introduced at the last session. This bill,
therefore, has precedence. We trust it will
be speedily considered and passed.

The SentinI and other rebel papers are
alsely..assuming that Mr.. Stevens bill pro-
poses to reduce North Carolina to Terri
torial condition. The Sentinel refuses to
publish the bill, so as to be able to propa-
gate this lie with the greater effect. The
proposition simply is to re-organize the
State so as to restore it to the Union, and the
present de facto government is to continue
until the proposed reorganization is effected
This is the whole truth of the matter, as is
proved by the bill itself.

Adjournment of the Georgia Legisla-

MILLEDGEvILLE, Dec. 1.-THE Legisla-
ture adjourned to-day sine die. The closing
speeches of the presiding officers of both
Houses were expressive of great determine
tion not to succumb to unlawful demands.
The sentiment Of the Legislature seems to be
decided in favor of territorial government
rather than acceptance of the constitutional
amendment or any similar terms The
Speaker of the House, in closing his address.
bade the country hope that the trial of fa-
naticism would exhaust itself, and constitu-
tional principles yet prevail
The President of the Senate advised to
obey all laws and cleaye to the Constitution; /;
but" he added, g human forbearance had
limits, and the worm would turn if trodden
on Great applause greeted the utterances
of the presiding officers in both Houses.
Itwould seem, from the above, that Geor-
gia is about to assume an attitude of resis-
tance to the national authority.
The Southern people have been treated,
since the close of the rebellion, with great
kindness and forbearance by the national
government History records no instance oI
greater kindness and forbearance by the con,
queror towards the conquered.
