Gen. NIB. Forrest His Military Genius

Thereport that General Forrest had left the country, probably in the direction of Mexico, though not fully confirmed, is still generally believed, says the Memphis Bulletin. The arrest Admiral Semmes and the proposed arrest of General Forrest, may be taken as significant indication ofthe course the Radicals of Presi- dent Jehnson's Cabinet backed up as they have been by the unexpected exhibition of over whelming strength in Congress, intend to pursue unless checked by the strong hand of the President.
 We quite agree with a city cotemporary in it's high estimate of the military character of General Forrest. We are confirmed in this opinion by the decisive testimony of General Joe. Johnson, who during the war, said to a friend of ours: Sir, I have studied the battles of General Forrest closely, and have come to the deliberate conclusion that he is the most remarkable military genius the war has pro- iuccd on either side.'

THE PRICE OF TRUTH.

Great truths are dearly bought. The com.
 mon truth,
 Such as men give and take from day to day Comes in the common walks of easy life, Blown by the careless wind across our way Bought in the market, at the current price, Bred of the smile. the jest, perchance the
 bowl: It tells no tales of daring or of worth, Nor pierces even the surface of the soul Great truths are greatly won. Not formed by
 chance,
 Not waited on the breath of summer dream But grasped in the great struggle of the soul, Hard bufeting with adverse wind and Not in the general mart mid corn and wine; Not in the merchandise of gold and gems; Not in the worlds gay hall of midnight mirth, Nor mid the blaze ofregal diadems. But in the day of conflict, fear and grief, When the strong hand of God, put forth in
 might, Flows up the subsoil of the stagnant heart, And brings the imprisoned truth-seed to the
 light. Wrung from the troubled spirit, in hard
 hours
 Of weakness, solitude, perchance of pain, Truth springs, like harvest, from the we'll
 plowed field.
 And the soul feels it has not wept in vain.

Loretto Picnic.

Mr.. EDITORIALS this is the season
of c-nics, will you be so kind as TO pub
lish the following and oblige many On
the 24th inst, the ladies and gentlemen of
Loretto assembled in Mr. Lewis grove,
near the college, for the purpose of having
a grand picnic. The morning was beau
tiful, the sun shown brightly, and the air
was clear and bracing About Q o'clock
the carriages called at the houses of the
ladies to collect their baskets and convey
them to the grounds. At 10 O'Clock the
ladies began to assemble. They came
from town and country until the grove was
filed with the fair and beautiful from Lo-
retto and its vicinage. A vacant house
on the premises was secured for the pur-
pose of dancing and the rooms were soon
filed with the fair and beautiful who avail
ed themselves of this opportunity of keep
ing time with the rich music which enliv
ened the scene. The day was spent in
dancing, promenading, singing and feast
ing. The ladies had done ample justice
TO the occasion by preparing a sufficient
quantity of the choicest viands and in ca
tering to the wishes and appetites of all.
luxuries with which they were covered,
and all sat down and feasted sumptuously
on the good things set before them. Truly
ladies are but ministering angels in the
sweet guise of lovely women. An invi-
tation. was extended to number of Phil
adelphians, sojourning in the pleasant vii
lage Of Loretto who readily accepted and
as freely participated in the joys and pleas
uers of the day. We take this method of
returning our most cordial thanks to the
ladies and gentlemen of Loretto for their
kindness and courtesy, shown us during
our stay with them-hoping that they
may all live TO witness the return of many
bright May-days, and that each sky may
be without cloud, and each life one of
uninterrupted happiness.

JOHN S. RHEY. EsQ.-The Kittanning
Sentinel speaks in the following terms of
John S. Rhey, Esq. This gentleman, who
at one time represented this county in the
Legislature, is candidate for nomination to
the same position in Cambria county. Mr..
Riley, it will be remembered, was elected
Speaker of the House; and his reputation
was that of being one of the best, if not the
best, tactitions that ever occupied the chair
of either House. We sincerely hope our old
friend and tutor may be successful, and
once more WELD the gavil in the House of
Representatives.

CLYMER AT HoME.-An attempt was
lately made by the Disunion organ of
Berks county to show that Hon. Hester
Clymer has always been unpopular at
home, and stating that he invariably ran
behind his colleagues. This falsehood,
which the rest of the Disunion organs
have given currency to, is fully disproved
by the Reading Gaeette, from which the
following quotation is made:
''The truth is that whenever Mr. CIV
mer ran for the Senate-the only office to
which he ever aspired-he always polled
a full Democratic vote, and more. Thus
in 1860, when he was elected to the Sen
ate, to fill vacancy, he had , ,S31 major
ity-51 less than Mr.. Ancona, and 71S
more than Mr. MKentry, the Congress
ional candidates, who headed our county
ticket. Again, in 1861, when he was
elected for the full term, he had 4,424
majority-the largest, by l10 to 400, of
any candidate upon the ticket of that
year He also led the highest of his
colleagues on the Legislative ticket %
votes. And in 1864 when he was re-
elected to the Senate, he had 5, SCI ma
jority, only 6l less than Judge Wood
ward, our candidate for Governor, and
221 more than Mr.. Ancona, our candi-
date for Congress.
"Mr. Clymer has never been guilty of
electioneering for votes personally, in or
der to manufacture paper popularity, by
running himself ahead of his colleagues,
but has been honorably content TO stand
with them fairly and squarely before the
people, and abide their verdict
''Our friends abroad may rest assured
that Clymer is all right at home, whatev-
er unscrupulous opponents may assert to
the contrary. And that ''Old Berks'' will
roll up for him majority fully equal to
his deserving, and worthy of her ancient
renown as the banner county of the State"

MOUNTAINS ON FIRE.-For some DAYS
fire has been raging in the mountains, des-
troying wood, bark, &C.. to a considerable
extent. The Aileghenies furnish at all times,
entertainment for the traveller. They are
always beautiful, Whether enveloped in the
green and glory of Spring; yellow and golden
with the tints of Autumn; snow-capped,
frosty and white with the icy breath of
Winter, or sublimely, grandly wrapped in a
sheet Of flame.

CLYMER CLUB.-A Clymer Club was or
ganized, in Susquehanna township. on Sat
urday evening, the 25th inst. We have, as
yet, received no official account of the meet
ing and are not informed who are the officers.
This is the first movement of the kind in
the county this campaign, and should be
followed by others, until the Democracy in
every precinct in Cambria is thoroughly or
ganized. Prompt action in this matter is all
that is needed to crown our cause with bril-
liant success.

For THE WEsT.-John Weakley, Esq, of
Susquehanna township, having disposed of
his farm, intends moving with his family to
the West in a few days. In this connection
we will mention that tour through the
Western States warrants US in saying that
Missouri. Minnesota and Iowa present a
better field for the emgrant than the States
this side of the Mississippi. Speculation
and monopoly maintain strong foothold
in Illinois, and high rates of transportation
and other kindred ills, tend greatly to the
embarrassment of the farmer.

RA1NBow.-On Saturday morning a rain
bow made its appearance in the eastern hor-
lion, and the fulfllment of His bow of
promise" was the plentiful showers with
which we have been blessed. Rain was
greatly needed at this time and its reviving
and invigorating influence had an almost
miraculous effect on dropping vegetation
All nature seemed to rejoice at the copious
and refreshing visitation. Our neighbor, of
the Kittanning Sentinel was getting fright
ened at the high price of breadstuffs caused
by the existence of the "nigger- bureau -
which consumes without any return in the
way of labor, and the unpromising season.
Cheer up, A triumph of common-sense will
kill the Bureau and few more showers will
put new life in the growing crops, and, if we
'curtail and save the half-inch" on our ex :
penses, we may be able to drag out an
existence.

wendell PHILLIrs generally keeps a
little in advance of his party, although it
is marvellous how fast its members who
claim to be CONSERVATIVES" crowd upon

his Interpretation of the meaning of negro
suffrage. given at a recent meeting in Bos-
ton, will by the time another year rolls
around form recognized article in the
creed of the Radicals, as it is already q
darling idea cherished by them in secret ::
Negro suffrage, said Mr.. Phillips, meant
a score Of negro CongreSsnsca sitting in tie
House Of Representatives.. 1t means color
ed Senators in Columbia. 1t means ne
gro representatives sharing in making
railroad laws and other laws. 1t means
sOclat equality, and that was where the
Southerner met the question. Social
equality follows hard on the heel of the
ballot box, and the South knows it, and
she resists negro suffrage for what must
follow it.

Ashtola Mill, near Johnstown, the burning

S25,O 900. Orders for large amount of lum-
Der, at good prices, were on hand, and every
arraD UenaDt bod haaD p,a do for n 1aroo L,,r
iness. The loss of the seasons business is
estimated at Sc 900, making the aggregate
loss at least $50, 900. Whether the energet-
ic parties who have been carrying on the es-
tablishment will rebuild it, we are unable
to say. Should they not, its destruction
will prove serious loss to the neighborhood,
throwing number Of persons out of en-
Pioyment. We are sorry to state that there
was no insurance. The fire is supposed to
have caught from the fuInaces.--The sale of
the Dlbert Estate in this place commenced
on Tuesday and has been continued daily.
Up to Wednesday evening houses and lots
| amounting to one hundred thousand dollars
had been sold. The Mansion House and ad-
joining property were knocked down to
John DiberC for over twenty-five thousand
dollars. Twenty years ago the same prop
erty was bought for one thousand dollars.
