]. W. Forney.

FornCy was serenaded on Thurs
day last by the Republican negroes
at Lynchburg, Virginia, where he
and his party halted on their pill.
grimage southwark. He told the
negroes that he was going South as
"a messenger Of peace, good will and
fraternity" at which the sable crowd
shouted "good," "good," "gOod2'
1t was very good! What an angel
of peace is Forney! While Forney
is Grating to the negroes of the South,
the white people of that unhappy
land will not forget that it was this
same individual who daily repeated
in the Press last summer, the savage
and vindictive proposition to revive,
for campaign purposes, all the ha-
| tired engendered in the war. When
Forney asserts that he is on an errand
Of good will, the people will not trust
him. If he swears it, they may be
sure he means mischief. Not one OF
the atrociouS measures proposed in
Congress for the subjugation of the
South was there that did not find al
eager and Ofiicious advocate in this
man Forney. Every fraudful scheme
to stife the voice of the people, t.
wrest from them their State COnsti
buttons, and put them under the bee
of the sOldiery, found a ready apollo
gist in this missionary of new bOrI
love for the South. He urged OF
Congress the atrocious proposition
to arm the negroes of the South, ant
set them at the Threats of their white
neighbors-a proposition from which
every radical who had heart in him
shrank i'll horror. In his malignity
he invented tales of horror, he cOimel
wild and incredible stories of til,
white mans barbaTity to the ne groe
: of the South, in order to make part,
capital Yet he goes among tin
Southern people now with honeyeC
words on his false lips, and boasts O
his feelings Of fraternity! With tn
same cruel complaeency did Mara
boast of his love of his fellows Will

When Forney reaches Mississippi
in his pilgrimage Of peace, he cal

The Peace Negotiations Of 1864.
REMARKABLE REVELATIONS.

The Wheeling (Va.) Register pub
fishes the following:
While in Marion, Smith county, a
few days ago, had the pleasure of
several lengthy chats with Hon. Fay.
cite McMullin. Mr.. McMullin saws
that since the war he was one day in
the Presidents house in Washing
ton, cOnversing with Hon. F. Blair,
Sr. Mr.. Blair told him that soon at
ter McMullin's "peaee resolutions
had been introduced into the Con-
fedeTate Congress, Mr.. Lincoln, be-
ing extremely anxious to bring about
a peace honorable alike to both sec
tions of the country, and foreseeing
and wishing to avoid the conse-
quences Of the military subjugation
of the South, sent him (Mr. Blair to
Richmond to confer With Mr.. Davis,
and learn what arrangement of the
difficulties could be made. He was
passed through the lines of the con-
tending armies, and conducted to
Mr.. Davis house, in Richmond. At
tel 81 long conversation with Mr.. Da-
Wis, and other prominent gentlemen
for whom MIR. Davis sent, and for
whom Mr.. Blair asked, Mr.. Davis
said be had no proposition to make.
Mr.. Blair then proposed that Gen.
Lees army be marched into Mexico
against the French; that General
| Grant would follow and support the
movement; that the united armies
would drive out Maximilian; and
then the Southern States should
name their own terms of reconstruc-
ton, everything short of independ.
ence being guaranteed. AT Mr.. Da-
Wis request, this proposition was
made in writing, and, after some con.
sultatiOn and reflection, cas signed
and accepted bg him. Mr.. Blair re
turned to Washington, and Mr.. Lin.
coin was highly delighted with the
success of the negotiation. 1t was
i'll the hope Of concentrating this ar
rangement that Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.
Seward met the "peace commission
ers," Hons. Stephens, Hunter and
Campbell, at Fortress Monroe; but
there, to Mr.. Lincoln's chagrin, the
committee declared that they hat
been instructed by Mr.. Davis to in
sist upon the independence of tn,
South, and would listen to no othel
proposal. And thus the whole affail
came to a "most lame and impotcn
conclusion"
Such is the substance of the ac
count related to Gov. McMullin by
Mr.. Blair. Mr.. McMulln says tina
he asked and obtained Mr.. Blair
permission to make the statcmen
pufhict ubt he had RETAINED fron
giving it publicity pending Mr.. Da
Wis trial, fearing lest it might il
some way prejudice his case.

Our Next Governor.

On our first pdgr will be found an
article beaded "the Gubernatorial
shair," taken from the Raymond
Hasette, advocating the election to
office of Old Line Wings and Union
Democrats, and abandoning the rule
er Ttiu, Secession party leaders. The
article especially points out the fit
ness of Hon. c. G. SHACKLEFoRD, of
euf county, for the position of Chief
Magistrate of Mississippi. In many
points of the question we agree
with Major Harper. There is no
man in the State better fitted by ma
ture andcIIIture for the arduous du-
ties of Gov -eTnor, under the new
regime that must follow the next cleo
tionA An entirely new state of things
will beinaugurated, and we shall want
q man Of eminent executive talent, Of
great patience and little party spirit,
Of intellectual capacity and unswerv-
ing resolution, a man above favorit-
ism and prejudices, and such man
we believe Mr.. Shackleford to be.
His course in regard to the late war
of sections was not such as to gain
HIM much, popularity, but 1t was a
course of high, unbending, inextin-
guishabe loyalty to the government
of our fathers, and, If he did not
join in the feeling of popular indig.
nation against the Union which filed
the breasts Of our people, no one can
accuse him of helping to precipitate
the calamities which resulted from
1t on the other hand he bent every
energy of his nature TO avert rup.
ture between the States, and when
the rupture came, he remained neu
trail in the struggle. What his mo-
tives were, it is not for us to Judge
But we know that his regret was as
great as our own for the disasters
which befell our cDuntry; at least
we know this, that he has never been
q time server, that he has always
clung to the principles of his former
days, and, although many of us, who
stood beside him then, abjnred those
principles in what we conceived t.
he a just aud righteous cause, yet w
cannot but admire his constant fealtN
to what he believed right. In times
past Mr.. Shackleford was Judged by
large number of the Wings of thi'
State worthy TO be our Governor
and If he was'so rfeH,, he is so now
So much for him politically. Per
