JOHN W. F0RNEY.

One of the principal rebels at Balti-
more is JoHY W. FoRYEY. This noto-
rious individual, the Louisville Courier
says, has betrayed every man and party
that ever trusted him, and has played
the part of a political guerrilla on a
larger scale than any other man on the
continent. He betrayed BUCHANAN, to
whom he owed his start in life, because
he would not support him for United
States Senator. He betrayed the Demo
cratic party, which had made him rich
and influential; and he betrayed Presl-
dent JOHNSON, after pledging himself to
the support of his policy, because he
could not control him and the patronage
in his hands for the benefit of his friends.
He is as abandoned in morals as he is
wanting in politicalintegrity. Only few
years ago he was publicly disgraced by
the production Of one of his letters on
the trial of the FoRREsT divorce case, in
which he was urging a friend in New
Orleans to get the actor JAMESON drunk,
and worm out of him, while in that con-
dition, something disparaging to the vir-
tue and honor of Mrs. FoRREsT. He is
now a candidate for United States Sem
ator from Pennsylvania, and is trying to
out-Herod Herod in Radicalism, in order
to get the lead Of THAD. STEVENS, who
is also candidate. His late attempt TO
get up civil war in Baltimore was a
part Of his scheme But it has failed,
and the renegade, traitor, and pimp,
sinks back into his native insgnifcance,
despised, loathed, and condemned by all
honorable men.

Rock. We think he is mistaken ana
overlooks an important fact Arkansas
will become prosperous and great ~
proportion as her territories shall Do
settled. If railroads induce emigration,
emigration induces the sale of lands ana
their cultivation. That State needs
nothing SO much as population, and rail-
roads will bring it. The road we are
now straining every energy to push
through, will literally flow with people
all the way Attic depots little villages
will spring up as if by magic, and
about them ON either side, Tor
miles away, dense population
will gather. If Little Rock shall be-
come feeder for Memphis, Memph's'
with greater capacity, will in turn become
a feeder for Little Rock. The advantage
will be mutual, and both will prosper
together. The latter city is CENTER as
our contemporary argues, but without
swift communication with greater cities
that position will avail nothing II
direct rail intercourse with Memphis
would iniure our neighbor, so would
direct rail intercourse with St Louis
Cairo or any other city, injureit. Differ
;ng from our contemporary, we think that
intercourse with Memphis is precisely
what the interests of Little Rock require.

Gen'l Ag't Associated
pestitution in Alabama.

General Swayne has issued new orders
concerning the supply of food for desti
tute persons in Alabama. Hereafter these
supplies will consist only of corn and
bacon. They will be procured by the
State Commissioner from the Subsistence
Department of the army, and will be
under the control of the Assistant
Commissioners of the Bureau, but State
agents will be responsible for their Gus
tody and faithless issue. The State Com
missioner will assign to each county its
proper quota, and through the overseer'
of the poor, provide agents to receive
it. These agents will, receive no com
pensation, unless it is provided by
their respective counties. The agent:
to distribute what they receive with
an eye single to the relief of sui
fering, carefully avoiding any
distinction on account of color. Able
bodied persons are not to be regarded a!
proper objects of relief, it being believed
that all such can obtain work. The
agents are to be sworn both as to the
amounts received and distributed, anC
that they have, to the best of theil
knowledge and belief, given supplies
only to the infrm and destitute.

A. H. Stephens.

A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Augusta, makes this
reference to Hon. A. H. Stephens:
am informed by one who processes to
know positively, that Mr.. Alexander Ii.
Stephens recommends its adoption by
the Legislature, and his brother, Mr.,
Linton Stephens, so expressed himself
within few days. This latter circum-
stance is a sufficient proof of what the
ex.Vice- President thinks, as his brother
generally shares his opinions on all lead
ing questions. / know of several others
of less prominence than Mr., Stephens
who think the Legislature should adopt il
the day that body meets. But their ad-
vocacy is based upon the idea that the
amendment carries an abolition of the
test oath and universal removal Of all
civil and political disabilities on account
of participation in the rebellion with the
single exception of the class of persons
TO whom the third section refers.
