A DEFENSE OF GEN. FORRBsT.-The
Memphis Post, thoroughly loyal and
anti-slavery paper, which is doing yeo-
mans service for the cause of humanity
and good government in Western Ten
nessee. comes to tine defense OF Gen. For
rest in regard to the Fort Pillow mas
sacre, as follows;
eve wish our Northern friends to take
careful note of what we are about to
saw. We are about to make statement
which will he entirely at variance with
their opinions-opinions, too, sincerely
and honestly formed and entertained,
and supposed to be supported by suti-
cient evidence What we meaH is this
it is generally believed at the North, and
by many persons in the South, that Gen.
Forrest was the cause and author-the
foas ct Oyigo-of the Fort Pillow massacre.
We formerly held that relief ourselves,
and thought we had good grounds for
it, We now think that Generals friends
have material for raising a strong pre-
sumption and this is what we wish to
! call attention to-that General Forrest
has been misjudged. We think they may
| have sufficient evidence to justify them
to asserting that he condemned at the
time, and has done so since the conduct
| OF his men: that he restrained them
Just as soon as it was in his power to do
| it that he used strenuous efforts and
severe measure in doing this; that he
shot one of his own men dead in enforc.
ing his orders that he took three hun
dred prisoners, white and black, and
treated them as kindly as prisoners usu-
ally were on his side; and in fine, that
it is the great grief of his life that this
horrid thing should have occurred and
that his name should have been connect
ed with it.
1t will be asked how it came to pass
that this thing should have been done
by men under Forests command, and
vet he not be held guilty. We answer
that his forces were peculiar that the
kind of warfare he waged was calculated
, to weaken discipline. He moved rapidly
3 from place to place, with mounted men
+ subsisting of the country and we
| learned, in our army, what effect this had
upon troops. Then Forrest had hundreds
of reckless, desperate men, who, all
: their lives, had been taught 10 noiu INT
: life of negro cheap, and the taking o
a such life about equal to the crime o
e killing a dog. Forrest, we learn, was
> not present when the assault was made
I resulting in the massacre, but rode IL
I all haste to the scene of action. as soor
. as he learned what was going on, snc
: by his authority put a stop to it.
{ Gen, Forrest, nearly year ago de
. manded a commission before which n
. proposed to place proof establishing tn
d statements we have introduced above
n This request of his has never beel
v granted. General Forest deserves JUS
i. tice. We only seek this for him. N
: Confederate General talked 80 sensibl
q to his men at the time of their surrender
~ and no one has conducted himself moi
% honorably or decorouslY since"

SECOND NUMBER OF THE CHILDREN
HoUR.-The first number of this maga-
zine was issued in advance of the date,
so as to get it well before the public in
time for the subscribing season. The
February number also anticipates the
regular date, though not so much as at
first, in order that its little friends,
already counted by thousands, may not
be kept waiting too long for a second
visit from the "Childrens Hour" For
beauty of Typography and Illustrations,
we think this number unequalled by
any magazine in the country; and it is
the publishers intention to keep fully up
to this standard. In it will be found
original articles from the pens Of Alice
Gary, Virginia F. Townsend, the author
of the "Sunny Maple" Phoebe Cary, l..
S. Arthur, Mrs. o. M. Johnson, Rev. IL.
Hastings Weld, and other writers Of
distinction, who will contribute regu-
larly to it's pages. With such corps OF
writers, the "Children's Hour" cannot
fail of eminent success; the terms be-
ing only s1.25 year. or five copies for

RUTLAND VT THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY TO- 1861

wool growers of the Eastern, Middle
and Western States-to write personally
and al once, to their senatorial ana uls-
trict representatives in Congress. de
who fails to do this will have to feel, II
the wooden tariff is lost, that he might
have done more to savelt.
TO those unused to writing their Con.
gressmen on public matters, we VIII
take the liberty of saying let your let
ters be short and nakedly to the point.
A distinct expression of individual
opinion that as high rate of duties on
wool and woolens as that contained In
the bill which passed the House last
winter is necessary to ensure ialr ana
reasonable degree of prosperity to the
wool grower-and that such is the opin-
ion and testimony of all experienced
growers-is the main thing.
As regards petitions, and mere form
matters little. Nor is it of the least con-
sequence that they be printed or uniform
in their language. Let every friend OF
the cause Immediately sCrite a petition
and circulate it among his neighbors.
Let him give day or more to canvas
ing. and then pass it over to some one
who will go on with it. Wait not for
Iona lists of signers. AS soon as linn
tied neighborhood is canvassed, send on
the petition to Congress, though it con-
tains no more than twenty-five or even
a less number Of names. Then start a
new petition. Let these petitions begin
literally to rain on Congress by the time
it re.assembles after the holidays. The
effect of the petitions will of course be
vastly greater before the minds Of Sen
ators are made up before they become
committed on the question, even should
ultimate action on the bill be consider
ably delayed. As a bill has already
passed the House and as it is now be-
fore the Senate, it will probably be as
well to enclose most Of the petitions to
Senators for presentation.
To those who prefer not to draw up
their own petitions, we present the fol-
lowing form, which can be added to, or
substracted from, at pleasure
To THE CONGRESS OF THE uNITBr
STATES
The undersigned, residents Of tht
town Of, County Of, Stat'
Of, would respectfully represen
to your honorable body that we be
lieve that the tariff bill agreed upon by
the Joint committee of Wool Grower
aud Manufacturers, and which passed
the House of Representatives at its las
session, was fair towards all other in
terests and afforded no more than jus
aud equal protection to the woolen in
terests of the country, and that W
: therefore pray for its immediate passag
into law.

SENATOR EDMUNDs.-The correspond

communication to that journal from

Generally Judge Wade-sturdy Ben.
Wade as we love to call him, is with
the radical fight. But sometimes he too

simply means man ready to vote with
the truth on non-essentials, and against
or evading it, when square issue Is
presented. How we feel to see Wade
7ehement and pugnacious upholder OF
equal freedom-faltering and boggllng
over it in order to secuIe couple OF Re-
publican Senators.
Senator Edmunds was combating
this error of Wade when l came in. Yer
mont is fortunate in having sent this
gentleman here.
Mr., Edmunds is worthy son OF the
State which never allowed slave TO
breathe in it's borders and which has
given us Harrington's splendid and cpl
| grammatic decision ou the right side OF
| that question. AS an orator the Ver-
mont Senator is not at first pleasing.
He seemed from the first day at home in
the senate-to be among his peers. His
manner is very quiet. He does not de-
claim or gesticulate, but talks Ike one
! hn
rather than declaim to jurors, and lets
language and logic carry due weight.

ing, professional and other. He has
1 positive opinions, and does not hesitate
to express them in terse, vigorous Ian
guage. He warns a little as he pro-
Ceeds, the voice mellows and deepens,
and there are tones which are rich and
musical with the sweetness Of the
struggling plea for freedom and amelio-
ration.
1t was an interesting sight to watch
Wade, as the Vermonter pointed out the
inconsistency in the rugged lighters

Columbia, and then deny it for the ter

quirement of establishing republican
government
Wade moved uneasily about as the
logic or facts pressed home the proof OF
, inconsistency. When some one of the
, listening neighbors, as Fessenden OF
, Williams, would apparently suggest a
, reply to the remarks Of the speaker, the
: rugged old face would move impatiently
and the shoulders be shrugged, as if te

The perfect attention paid to Mr.. Ed

STEPHENS WITHDRAws FROM THE FB-
NrANs.-A dispatch from New York on
Sunday evening states that at a Fenian
convention held that evening at the
Apollo Rooms, 76 Prince street, com
posed of centres and delegates from the
various circles in the District OF Man
hatten, the astounding disclosure was
made that James Stephens had retired
from the ranks of the brotherhood, al
legipg in justification of his action that
the organization was not sufficiently
powerful to attempt conflict with the
might Of England. A letter was read
from Colonel Kelley in relation to Fe-
uian matters. The colonel was sent for.
On presenting himself he was requested
hy the meeting to state what he knew
in regard to Stephens He said he did
not believe him a traitor, but attributed
his conduct to cowardice. Those pres
! ent at the meeting before separating
pledged themselves 10 90 on with the
work, and appointed Brig. Gen. Gleason
to Ill the position rendered vacant by the
retirement Of Mr.. Stephens. The latter
is understood to be still in New York.
This is Just all we expected of Stephens,
and we believed when he boasted that
he would inaugurate rebellion in Ire
land before the lst Of January last past,
that it was merely ruse on his part to
coax money from Irish servant girls or
Others, who having a love Of their coun-
try nearest their heart, were willing to
dip their hands into their pockets up tc
their elbows and contribute funds to the
Fenian treasury" alias the pockets o
James Stephens. Stephens escape from
the Dublin Bridewell and his attel
course in Ireland and this country wat
such as to warrant the opinion of can
did men that the English governmen
was not over. anxious for his apprehen
sion. and we think that this last act o
his has proved what most Americans
have supposed him to be-a villainous
money-making coward.
