n. B. Forrest, Memphis:
SR-Yours of the oath is received,
and I have sent it to the war depart
ment with this Endorsement, "Respect-
fully referred to the secretary of war
for file" Among the hundreds of offers
that come to me, deem this worthy a
place among the archives, to await COM
ing events. I regard N. B Forrest one
of the most extraordinary men devel-
oped by our civil war, and were it left
to me in the event of war requiring
cavalry, I would unhesitatingly accept
his services, and give him prominent
place. I believe now he would fight
against our national enemies as vehem-
emily as he did against us, and that is
saying enough.
[Signed ". T. SHERMAN, Gen.
I don't believe there will be war,
for neither government wants war.
Again, IN the event OF war With SPAN
on account of Cuba, the bulk of the
fighting would be ahoat, for whoever
commands the sea can have Cuba. We
may not now have sufficient heavy iron
clad ships, but then some could be had,
and we have an abundance of good naval
officers and seamen, when the result
would be certain, leaving for the land
forces the smaller task of occupation.
No part of this will likely be confded
to me, and, therefore, I have sent your
letter to the war department, which can
only act after congress declares war and
provides means for it's prosecution.

DEAR GENERAL-By kilograms from

we should become involved, and the
government should require assistance, I
hereby tender you my services as vol

short notice, and who could rendezvous
at New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola and
Key West, either as cavalry or infantry.

The italian Parliament, in Its action the Reig-
tous Corporations BILL proposes the total abolition
OF the generals OF the orders, giving to the Pope
soo,0Oof per annum, for their support. Should
shis measure be finally and completely adopted
by Parliament II will, it is said, be difficult
for the Italian Ministry to reconcile their
votes with their promises, Signor LAMA and
his colleagues having undertaken to pre-.
serve the generals OF the religious orders from
suppression. Such promises have been made
personally to Pope Plus the Ninth through
OF the Ministers. similar pledge has been
given to the foreign diplomatic corps. to some
OF whom SignOr Visconti-Venosta has repeatedly
stated that the Premier himself and his colleagues
would resign In the event of Parliament voting the
complete suppression OF the religious corporations.
Such declarations were made to NJ Fourier,
repeated to Count WimpGen and reiterated to Sir
Augustus Paget. The King Of Italy himself seems
TO have made similar promises to the Pope, who it
is reported in the Vatican, holds His Majesty's
original letters, which he will publish In proper
time 80 that in case OF the act passing for total
suppression. according to the inclination OF the
legislative majority and OF the nation His Majesty,
In order to keep his promises to the Pope, will
probably ask the Ministers for their portfolios and
dissolve the Parliament.
