BY sinsing, accompanied by Mrs. Palmer

EDITOR J0URNAI.-1sn't It wonderful
how deep An interest people do sometime.
take in the affairs Of others! It is not long
sinee ws called your attention to tho fact
that some du.y.6odies had torn up things
generally in our house. We have almost
come to the conclusion that we don't man
age our own affairs any more. This con-
clusion Was easily reached on New-Year's
Eve, when large number Of people with.
out giving Us the least notice, came and lit
orally took possession Of our house. Some
did not even 6 i've the formal rap, but open
ing the doors, rudely rushed for the kitch-
en-, bsskets'in hand. (We leave your read
ers to guess whether tho baskets went home
full or empty.) Others laid claim to every
chair in tho house and held them soathat
We had nothing upon which to sit; and
others, not coutentsd With seeing tho first
floor occupied, deliberately entered upon
the work Of exploration upstairs; the study
itself, not being deemed worthy to escape
the intrusion. Il did not seem to make
much difference 10 them whether We liked
the proceedings OF not. When We express
ed our surprise it was only to be laughed
At; but our time to laugh came afterwards.
When they had spent IN hour or two in
the very best humour, even T. J. seeming
to be satisfied, after brief social exercise,
they left to sec what they had been doing.
Now was the surprise, indeed. There in 4
bundle was an elegant dress in another
were : fine coat, splendid driving cap and
gloves; in another q vest of the latest cut :;
in smaller package some pieces Of gSld-
lined silverware; hero q large parcel of
sugar, a. much - one would wish to car
~; there noble package Of coffee tyon-
der. bundle Of linen work. and ribbon.
Then in the kitchen! Well, that is . de-
partment with which re are supposed to
have but limited acquaintance. = Suffice
it to ssy there was meat and butter, pies
and cake enough to oil and fuel the physical
machinery Of life for some time to come.
Nor were these an; they cared for some
thing besides The wants Of the outward
man. We undo = package, and behold

on the contrary will ever be ready to leave

A Goose Race.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette we learn
that the principal feature in the way of
amusement at Pittsburgh on the Fourth,
and the one most literally patronized SO
far as numbers were concerned, was the
'ssgoose race" on the Allegheny river
The race was announced to take place
between the hours of nine and ten O'clock
A. M, from tho Hand street to the St.
Clair street bridge. Before the hour for
starting had arrived the curious had con-
gregated In vast numbers to witness the
novel race, and after patiently waiting
the arrival Of the principals, who failed
to put in an appearance until after the
appointed hour had passed, many left,
thinking they had been sold. Others
came, however, and filled the places of
those who had departed, and by the time
Hart and Campbell, who were to drive
the geese, had put In appearance, the
banks Of the river and both bridges were
filed with spectators. The betting run
very low, II II run" at all, and the OBJ
ject Of those assembled appeared to be to
crafty curiosity rather than gamble
At a garter p asst eleven the principals
made their appearance, each with a team
of six white geese, harnessed to wash
tub. The crafts were launched and the
principals took their seats in their re-
spective tubs, when the word "go" was
given. A fine start was made and for
about five minutes the race was closely
| contested. Hart then took the lead and
kept 1t to the end, coming in more than
! twenty feet ahead of Campbell A col
lection was taken up from the spectators
while the race was in progress, which
amounted In all to SIT so. So ended the
goose race.

Gen. Forrest and Fort Pillow,

JUNE %, 1868.
EDITORS MEMPHIS PosT THE rebel
General Jordon, formerly chief-of-staf
to Longstreet, In his life ON j. Forrest,
the butcher of Fort Pillow, endeavors,
in very scientific and, plausible style,
to palliate the conduct of Forrest at
that affair. But all the writings of rebel
generals and chiefs -of-staff combined will
never wipe out or efface from the minds
of the Northern people and the soldiers
that comprised the Union army the hor-
rible remembrance Of that most cold
worse than useless to endeavor to excul-
pate the brutality and barbarity perpe-
trated. Like the English blowing the
sepoys from the mouths OF their cannon,
| the story of " Fort Pillown will be hand
ed down to future generations, and our
| children's children will look with loath-
| ing and disgust upon the name of N. b.
Forrest, the rebel, who allowed defence
less and wounded men to be massacred,
after they had been overpowered, by the
hundred,
What Is to be thought.of those who,
here In the South, call themselves Dem.
ocrats, that select N. b, Forrest as dele.
gate to Convention to nominate q
President Of the loyal States of this
Union? How think you, the soldiers oi
the Union will take It? speak of the
genuine Democratic soldiers, whose love
Of country exceeded theirlove of party In
1861. Think you that these men will
feel flattered at the appointment of sc
bitter and active rebel as the man For.
rest to their National Convention as 0
delegate? If such be the case 1t Ia a farce
to, call the coming gathering on the 4th
of July anything but rebel convention
and there are but two men In the coun
try, who would obtain unanimou.
nomination and support, viz: JEFF. Davis
and Robert Il. Lee.
The so-called Democratic party mus
be hard up for men to send to their Con
vention when they select such as N. B
| Forrest, aud his name alone will ado
votes to the Republicans.

Am ola p.moer.t ON ar.n,.

Hon. Isaac N. Morris, an old and in
huential Democrat of Quincy, Illinois,
made long speech lately, In favor OF
Grant and Colfax. The conclusion of It
was as follows:
"If you ask me to forget the rebel
lion--if you ask me to blot out from my

favorable opportunity TO overthrow the
government, tell you frankly ! am not

indebted for onr preservation as nation
than to an; other living man, and who
has written his principles with the point
of his sword on the national records,
and stamped his fidelity tollberty on the
national heart, i tell you plainly cam
not do that. I,claim to have some little
gratitude left. The ensuing four years
will, In my judgement, be the most dam
gerous and eventful In our history, and
we must have one Mt the head of the Gov

gency, or we will sink under the weight

who will seek only his own interests at
the expense ofnational security. Ineed
