FORT WALLACE.

FoRT WALLACE, September 24.-Tbe
scout who left Col. Forsyth's camp on
the night of the 18th inst, came in to-
day and reports that his party had plenty
of ammunition, and that his men were
in good spirits. Their rstions were all
gone, and their only dependence was
mule meat Col Forsyth thought If it
was absolutely necessary they could sus-
tain themselves for six days longer. The
Indians were evidently sick Of their bar
gain, and we're it not for the condition of
the wounded they would come through to
Fort Wallace. He was confident of
whipping the enemy if attacked. The
Indians lost thirty-fve killed, large
number wounded, and q considerable
number of stock killed aud disabled.
They removed some Of the dead from
the field, and others we're too near our
men to venture after with safety. 1t was
confidently expected that Bsnkhead and
Carpenter would reach Forsyth this
morning.

response TO a requisiiion from Msjor
General Thomas. Whilst there is no
proof whatever that any resistance to the

ton from any quarter has ever been con;
templated in Tennessee, but, on the con.
,rary. the ex-Conftderate officers who
had conference lately with the Ten

clsred their readiness to assist IN sus-
tanning the authority of the State, the
CONSERVATIVES people Of Tennessee will be
cratitied to have Efficient garrisons Of the
United States army among them who will
be disposed to protect all parties, instead
of being exposed to the. partisan militia,
which Brownlow has been authorized by
the militia bill, and is actually proceeding
10 call out, Notwithstanding he is aware
Of the military preparations BY the Uni
ted States. Not content with summon
ing a partisan force 10 bis proclamation,
Governor Brownlow seems DESTROYS Of
making il sectional as we'll as partisan,
having expressed preference that his
troops shall come from East Ten
nessee, which Is the only part Of the
State where the presence of United
States troops has been lately required to
enforce obedience to the laws Of the
general government Outside Of that
eminently patriotic district, the Repub-
licans, as we'll as the Conservatives, of
Tennessee, seem to be well pleased that
the preservation of the peace shall be left
to the troops of the United States. The
Nashville Republican (Radical), refer
ring to the announcement that the Presi.
dent will furnish sufficient force to sus
tain the civil authorities, says:
If the President fulfills his pro ',ise
TO the com mittee, we shall have little use
for the militia; still, we rejoice that the
Legislature has made ample provision
for the peace of the State in any event,
and in case the militia should be needed
The Governor Of the State and Major
General Thomas will be able, as in 1867,
to co operate in the most perfect har-
mouy."
We scarcely think there will be any
necessity for the cooperation of the
militia Of Tennessee with Gen. Thomas,
,nless It be to aid him in enforcing the
revenue laws in Governor Brownlow's
district Baltimore Sun.

From the vicksburg Herald. Sept 1871
A little incident of the result of Radi-
cal rule has just been related to US. 1t
occurred in our sister State Louisiana,
which in its late election, elected num-
Der Of negroes to Office. In the parish of
Madison, among others, a negro was
elected justice of the peace. He was
duly installed and for months past has
been playing magistrate. In his neigh
borhood lived very worthy old negro
named Billy Hough. Billy owned two
mules, and last year, to enable him to
plant, be gave bill of sale Of the mules
to Col. B., who supplied him with slip
ulated amount of supplies. Billy, with
every one who engaged in planting last
year, met with total failure. His en-
ployes we're to great extent unpaid, and
the claim of Col. B was unsatis6ed but
knowiBg Billy to be perfectly honest, the
Colonel permitted him to use the mules
in making crop this year. A few days
ago our colored Scion Of a magistrate at
tached the mules in favor of Billy hands,
and the mules were sold. Col. B. being
apprised Of this recovered the mules by
the usual legal process. This SO incensed
the ebony dispenser of justice thet
be arrested Billy, chained him for
two days and nights, in front Of his
door, to tree, and refused to give him for
that period either food or water. He
finally released bis prisoner on condition
that Billy pay him twenty-five dollars in
cash. This was readily performed, when
the prisoner was released. A few days
after be had Billy rearresied, forced him,
through fear Of being again chained, to
pay bin Eve dollars and pledge for one
hundred pounds of cotton, to be paid as
soon as picked. All this action, il will
be remembered, was in the collection of
a debt in civil case. No use for milf

THE NEW YEAR.


We cannot enter upon the labors Of the
New Year without returning thanks to those
who so literally patronized us during the
year Just closed We have spared no effort,
in our power, to make the CHRosIcLE an ac-
ccptable and profitable medium OF commu-
nication between the business men and the
public, and at the same time, the organ Of
correct moral and political sentiments. How
far we have succeeded is not for us to say,
and In asking for a continuation of the lib
eral patronage and wider circulation, we
have no other inducements to offer than our
course in the yjast, and determination to
pursue II in the future. The duties OF the
press and the public are reciprocal. The pa
per which labors for the public good deserves
the public support And as nothing more
fully exhibits the character and prosperity OF
n people than the character and prosperity OF
their paper, its conductors are bound to do
their best, and the public to aid them in
their efforts.
We are aware that the want Of greater
mail facilities has done much to narrow our
circulation, but hope this disadvantage will
net serve as an apology for those who might
without much Inconvenience, extend the
limits Of our sphere of action, and thereby
enable us to publish paper improved in
proportion to its increa'ed prosperity. We
ask nothing ms a mere personal favor to us,
but base our claim upon the ground OF mu'
tual advantage. And whether shls claim be
allowed or not we wish one and all happy
