THE TRUE LIFE.-The mere lapse Of
years is not life. 70 eat and drink aud
sleep to be exposed to darkness, and the
light; to pace round the mill Of habit, and
turn the wheel Of wealth. to make reason
our book keeper, and turn thought into az
implement Of trade-this is not life. Tn
all this buta poor fraction Of the con
sciousness Of humanity is awakened, and
the saucfities still slumber which, make It
most worth while living. Knowledge,
truth. love, beauty. faith, alone can give
vitality to the mechanism Of existence, the
laugh of mirth which vibyates through the
heart, the tears that fresheu the dry waste
within. the music that brings childhood
back, the prayer. that calls the future. the
doabt which makes as mediate, the death
which startles US with mystery. the hard
ships that force us to struggle, the anxiety
that ends IN trust. are the true nourisbment
Of rational beings.

AS 40 man acquired more extensive
military reputation during the war than
Gen. Forrest, SO no man hasbeen more fre-
quenQy the subjectof Radical abuse. We
have. therefore, read. with much pleasure.
the yindieatiou which we publish below,
from the Memphis Posi- by al odds the
ablest Radical journal in the State:
We wish our Northern friends to take
careful note Of what we are about to. say
We are about to make a statement which
will be entirely at variance with their opin-
ians-opinions, too, sincerely aud honestly
formed and entertained, and supposed to be
supported by sufficient evidence. What
we mean is that it is generally believed at
the North, and by many persons in the
South, that General Forrest was the cause
and authorize .fons ct origo-of the Fort
Pillow massacre. We formerly held that
belief ourselves, ,-and thought we bad good
grounds for it. We now think the Gene
raPs friends have material for raising. a
strong presumption-and that is what We
wish to call attention to--that General For
rest has been misjudged. We think they
may have sufficient evidence to justify
them in asserting that he condemned at the
time, and has doae 50 ever since, the con
duct of his men that he restrained them
just as soon as it was in his power to do it !;
that he.shot one Of his own men dead In
enforcing his orders ; that he took three
hundred prisoners, white aud black, and
treated them as kindly as prisoners usually
were on bis side and, in fine, that it is
the great grief Of bis life that this horrid
thing should have occurred, and that his
name should have been connected with il.
Tt will be asked how it came to pass that
this thing should have been done bg men
under Forests command, and yet he not
be held guilty. We answer that his forces
were peculiar, that the kind Of warfare be
waged was calculated to weaken discipline.
He moved rapidly from place to place with
mounted men, subsisting off the country
and we learned in our army what effect this
4 had upon troops. Then, Forrest had hun
dreds of reckless, desperate men, who, all
bu6kt lives IiaA ucSl " iiOA0 Viz Aite
Of a negro cheap, and the taking of such
/ life about equal to the crime Of killing &
dog. Forrest We learn, was not present
when the assault was made, resulting il
the massacre, bat rode in all haste to the
scene Of action. as soon as he learned whai
was going on, and, BY bis authority, put 8
stop to it.
General Forrest, nearly year ago, de.
manded a commission before which he pro-
posed to place proof establishing the state
ments We have introduced above. This
request Of his has never been granted
Gen. Forrest deserves justice. We only
seek this for him. No Confederate Gene
raj talked so sensibly to bis men 81 the time
Of their surrender, and no one has con.
Quoted himself more honoTably OF deco
rously since. We, the vietoFs. can afford
to do honor to the gallaptFy, ehivalry and
nobleness OF che vanquished, and we shall
show ourselves less worthy of being vic.
| tors whenever we fail 70 do so.

THE FAMILY REwsPAPER.-Dr. Frank
liz remarks that man that often gets two
dollars for the one be spends n forming
his mind, as he does for dollar he lays
out in any other way. A man eats pound
of sugar aud it is gone, and the pleasure
be has enjoyed is ended. but the infoFma-
ton be gets from a newspaper is treasured
up to be enjoyed anew, and to be used
whenever occasion or inclination call for
it. A newspaper is not the wisdom Of one
man or two men it is the wisdom Of the
age, and Of past ages too. A.family with
out newspaper is always a year behind
the times in general information besides
they can never .hiBk much nor end much
to talk about And then there are the lite
tie ones growing up without any TASTE for
reading. Who. then, would be without q
newspaper I? and Who would read one reg
larly without paying for IL?

The WAY TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT
Let the Radicals 60 on. They viii shake
the credit of the Government. The bond
holders viii become alarmed, turn Copper
heads, and be denounced as enemies to the
Government. Then it will be in order to
repudiate the whole debt, on the ground
that the holders Of it are disloyal. In this
way these Radicals will get rid of The
whole debt; or at least 80 much Of it that

Who will doubt it?'

In well written article upon the po'
litical course, the Sherman Courier closes
with the following wel-timed and sensi-
bic remarks:
We must candidly assure our readers
that if there is a change Of policy, it
must come from the Northern States; we
are utterly helpless in every sense of the
word; our course has beeen to urge the
people to obey the law; by SO doing we
do not mean to Say that the Jaw is nei-
ther morally nor religiously right, but
that it is the law, and as such ought to
be obeyed.
We hope We will not be misunderstood
in making the remarks, our opinion as
to what is due US as a people has not
changed in the least; but what, pray, is
our opinion worth? To sum up the
whole matter, we are very much inclined
to think that the quickest, shortest and
most effective manner to effecta change
policy, is to give those now in power full
swing, and even encourage them. If
their policy is right it will stand, if not
they will break themselves down sooner
than any opposition can effect it. We
say to all attend to your private business,
cultivate your fields and attend to your
herds, and quietly abide the course Of
events; in the mean time we will give
you the news of the political and COM
mercial world, and carefully guard what
we conceive to be your best interests.

The many friends of Rev. Joseph
Cross, ID. D., in this city, will regret to
learn that he fell a victim to yellow
fever in Texas. DR.. Cross was an Eng
ljshman by birth, but emigrated to the
United States at an early age. He was
widely known as a minister OF the Meth
odist Church. Immediately after the
close of the war, he took orders in the
Protestant Episcopal Church. and at the
time of his death was rector in Houston,
Texas. We endorse the following re-
marks Of the Charleston News: "Dr.
Cross was man Of large talent and high
culture. He was profoundly versed in
theology and we'll read in the entire de-
partmcnt Of bellies lettres. Able as an
orator, and sometimes brilliant, he was
more pleasing to the intellectual man
than to the uninformed masses. He had
studied shethoric as science and prac-
tised it as an art His sentence never
was faulty, and his thought gorgeously
clad, always impressed the mind of the
hearer"

Negro Social Equality.

The attempt, on the part of the Radi.
calls to enforce misccgenation even here
in, the North, was noticed yesterday, in
the case of an Ohio school-but we see
they are trying the same thing, with
equal boldness, nearer home. The Buf.
falo Commercial Advertiser of yesterday
says: :
For a time past a degree of excite
ment has been occasioned in some of the
public schools on account of the fact that
a number of colored children insisted up
on attending, and remained despite the
efforts of the teachers to compel them
to leave. Recently, a petition by colorcd
people, asking permission to send their
children to other schools than that set
apart for them, was referred to the Com.
mon Council Committee on schools.
The committee reported that the council
had no authority to grant the permission
asked, and the report was adopted. Not
wlthstanding this action, the parents of
TIE children continued to send them to
the schools, and yesterday Superintend-
ent Fosdick went to districts Nos l and
- and ordered the coloured children to
leave.
This they refused to do, when they
were elected. This morning the colored
children in No. 80 were also elected by
the superintendent. 1t is understood
that MIR. Fosdick has adopted this course
in pursuance of the action of the council,
and it is rumored that the parties, con-
sidering themselves aggrieved, threaten
to have him arrested and arraigned be-
fore the United States Court under the
Civil Rights bill.
This negro impudence is the direct re-
suit of Republican teaching and training.
Talk as these politicians and philoso-
piers will, there is no getting over, or
under, or around, the fact that the negro
at least, is determined that social equal
ty, shall follow political equality, with
"miscegeration" and "amalgamation" as
it's anticipated fruit:
It must be borne in mind that there
are free schools for toe negro children,
not only in Buffalo but everywhere else,
North and South-a fact which tut ex-
hibits in more striking light, in pres
ence of the attempt to foiSt themselves
il among white children.-N. Y.Evening
Post, Sept. %.

Of the Daily Mercury is now larger than

a Strong Spiritual Record.

4 Portland correspondent in regard lc
TIE personal habits Of the temperance
legislators Of two New England States,
says that. out Of sixty:nine Legislators
who advocated the prohibitory law, sixty
one keptspirituons drinks IN their rooms
during the session.
What record. Both Maine and
Massachusetts, hare their full quorum of
ssiame ducks" who advocate the prohibi-
cory law under the inspiration of the
very spirit whose use they condemn.
However of good grows out Of evil, VIC
say put on the prohibitory brakes. A
contemporary accounts for the Radical
loss in Maine by the prohibition plank in
their platform, and says that it was not
that the people liked Radicalism less, but
that they liked whiskey more. The RAIDS
will find more formidable opponent in
"John Barleycorn" than they have been
accustomed to meet lately. Heis, indeed,
mighty man." And If the Radicals
wish to get themselves routed horse, foot
and dragoon, just let them measure
swords with bin. Grant and Lee are
great Generals, and commanded great
and powerful armies, but in their might
est days they could not have held John
Barleycorn" respectable ''skirulish."

REACTION. is not difficult to discern
that the long looked-for reaction in the

Expressions like the above are becom-
ing frequent in Southern newspapers,
but their truthfulness depends perhaps
as much upon the department Of the
Southern people in the coming months
as upon anything else. They must ab.
stain from any course of action or use of
language that can give ground of suspl-
cion in regard to the genuineness Of their
professions Of loyalty, or that is capable
of being perverted or miscOnstTued by
reckless dcmagogucS, for purposes mis-
ctisf.-N. Y. Journal Of Commerce.
