serve the peace, lie and they would be will
ing to assist that officer to their utmost ex-
tent.
General Forrest coucurred with the views
expressed by the committee. He had tried
to discharge all uties ola soldier as a
soldier. and he intended to do so as a citizen.
IuProof Of this, during the time Of election
be had offered 600 DISTINGUISHED men to
help the public preserve order. The idea
which had gotten into the public mind that
there was az organization in the State,
whose purpose it was to overthrow the State
Government, was utterly without foun3a-
zion. His name had been used in connec-
ton with violence especially to the negro,
which was also false. He would always en-
deavor to see justice done.
Generals Quarles. Dibrell aud Palmer all
concurred in the sentiments expressed by
Generals Brown, Cheatham and Forrest.
Generals Williams and Smith and Col
Pross T, of the Military Committee, all ex-
pressed satisfaction at the result of the con-
ference, and expressed the belief that the
day was fast approaching when all of our
differences would be healed and our white
citizens enfranchised.
The Conference ended enid free ex-
change of congratulations. All shook hands
and parted more as brothers than as men so
recen tly separated by what seemed irrecop-
cilable party and sectional feuds.
or who conversed afterwards with gentle
men who participated in it, received full as
surauce on two vital points
First. That the militia win not be called
out
Second. That immediate steps will bera-
ken toward liberal extension Of the fran
chise.

A large meeting of the citizens of Giles
county convened at the Court HOUSE, h
Pulaski, on Monday, August Sd, 1868.
The meeting was organized by calling
Col. Jas. r. Wheeler to the Chair And on
motion, Col. J. P. MCGUIRE aud Capt. VIM.
c. Flournoy were made Vice Presidents,
and Col. A. H. Alternately, Secretary.
Gen. Jno. G. Bro and Gen. Geo. W.
Gordon being called upon, gave the result
of the interview of the Elk Confederate
Generals Of Tennessee with the Legislative
Military Committee, upon the state of az
fairs and urged upon all good citizens the
necessity ofliying in strio, subordination to
existing laws, and Of pursuing such a
course as viii tend to restore perfect peace
and harmony throughout the State.
In the course of Gen. Browns address
he read the Memorial, published elsewhere
in this paper, submitted by the Conference
of Confederate Generals, recently Assem-
bled at Nashville, to the Legislature of
Tennessee now in extra session, and asked
his comrades in arms to ratify what he had
done. Gen. Gordon followed in brief
but earnest and eloquent appeal in behalf of
peace.
At tbs conclusion of Gen. Gordon's ad :
dress. the following resolutions were pre-
sented by Capt VIM. G. FIouTnoy. and
unanimously adopted; viz:
WHEREAS. we have seen the communica
ton addressed to the Legislature Of Tenn
essee. by Generals N. B. Forrest, B. F.
Cheatbam. Geo. W. Gordon, Jno. c. Brown
and others, of date the 1st of August 1868;
and fully approving the statements which
pervade that paper, and being DESTROYS OF
endorsing the pledge made by the writer's
of that Communication therefore,
Resolved, that we heartily and cordially
adopt that communication as an exponent
oil our sentiments and purposes, and pledge
