A Speech BY General Forrest.


There Was very large meeting of Con-
federste soldiers at Memphis on Saturday
night, to take action in regard to the recent
peace conference at Nashville, and they APP
proved the earnest appeal made for peace
and seconded the sffortq made by the Con
federate Generals for Paci6catiOn. They
pledged themselves and solicit all Confed
oaate soldiers throughout the State, to use
The utmost diligence and caution to avoid a
collision with the militia. OF With any por-
zion OF the inhabitants Of the SIste, and TO
preserve the peace.

most significant Of his lie, and was ap-
pauded from first to last He said he was
for peace, and would be sorry to see any
difficulty in Tennessee. The Confederate
soldiers have been true 90 their pledges, and
lived up strictly to theirparOles. They are
still for peace, and would turn out prompt
ly at any time to quell riot and co operate
with the officers Of the law. 1t was the In
tention Of the radicals to get up war in
the South to make political capital in the
North. There was no necessity for calling
cut the militia It was to be done-in aeeoF-
dance with o pr gramme prepared by the
radical party at Washington. He advised
forbearanee and peacesble avoeations, but
if war should be made on the people they
would not turn on the negro for satisfac-
ton but upon their white leaders. He had
no war to make upon the coIored people
they were his friends He advised pru-
denoe and forbearance, but intirnated hat
in certain contingencies the people might
be placed upon the defensive, when adifTer-
ent and more decisive course would become
necessary. His remarks were listened to
with interest and received with unmistaka-
bio enthusiasm.
