GEN. FoRREsT.-We had the pleasure of meeting this distinguished gentleman yester- day, and was glad to see him looking in fine health and spirits. The General, in reply to an allusion to the canard ofhis having gonet to Mexico, requested us to say, that he has not been nor has he the remotest idea of going anywhere else than back to his plantation where heand goodly number of black mon, are hard at work trying to 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 as earnest and sincere a supporter of the Government IS he was q good fighter, and thinks the right way to get out of our troubles is for every body to be at work, and in the discharge of all the duties resting upon him.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. l7, 1866.
 You will please send 10 these headquarters thereafter, such copies of newspapers printed in your departments as contain sentiments of disioyalty and hostility to the Government in any ofits branches, and state whether such paper is habitual in it it's utterances of such sentimeHt. The persistent publication is cal culated to keep up hostilities between the two sections of country, and cannot be tolerated. This information is called for with view to suppression, which will be done from these headquarters only. By command of Lieut.. Gen. Grant. (Signed) L. s, BOWERS, A A. C.. A report has recently been circulated to the effect that Captain Horace James, of the Freedmen's Bureau and others, had been brutally murdered by rebels in North Carolina. In reply to q letter from General Fullerton, Colonel Whittlesey commander of Freedmen from that State, telegraphs there is no truth in the statement, and that neither James noi any other officers of the Freedmen's Bureau i! in danger from the rebels.
 Reports like this, and that of the death O osband, in Mississippi, at the hands of rebels are becoming too plenty for credence. Inves tigatiOn by the heads of the Bureau invariabl. rrova tharn to bavo haen sfar{nd for effae against lately rebellious people.

pie are as hard to be found as GASES in

There are a few that would be glad to
bsing about: a reconciliation have all
discord and strife done away, and have
harmony and union stand from the Can
adas to the Gull, and from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific, but still the most of this
class would much prefer Southern
Confedcracy, il it could be had. But
