Memphis, Oct. 31.—The funeral of
Gen. Forrest was held at the Cumber
land Presbyterian church, Rev. Dr.

der Gen. Forrest, officiatins. The

Thompson. Col. Callaway. Dr. Cowan,
and Major Rambaut, of Gen. Forrest’s
staff. The funeral cortege was com
posed of mounted ex-Confederates.

MEMeltrAT. MEETING OF COMRADES AND
OTHERS IS WASHINGTON.
The adjourned meeting of the Con
federates and others, companions, sub
ordinates and friends of Gen. Forrest
was largely attended, and the follow
ing was adopted :
Whereas, We have learned with deep
regret that General N. B. Forrest, of
Tennessee, after a painful and protracted
illness, has departed this life; there
fore be it
Resolved, That we, his companions
in arms, deem it meet and proper to
give expression to our admiration and
esteem for our departed friend and fel
low-soldier. Born of humble parents,
poor and u ntutored in youth, he was
successful in civil life, and was th
noblest specimen of a citizemsoldier.
With unconscious power he began his
military- career as a private in. the
ranks; with increasing consciousness of
strength, he passed through the grada
tions of command until he stood at the
head of a cavalry corps, the terror of
one army and the admiration of the
other. With the intrepid dash of Mu
rat, and tfife dauntless courage of Ney
he possessed a native courage second to
no man. In battle his name alone was
a tower of strength, his presence ever
inspiring courage in the weak and con
fidence in the strong, and he will live
in history- as nature’s military genius.
Resolved, That Gen. Forrest won his
name in the Confederate service, but
that his fame belongs to the American
people, and will be clic-risbed by all
who venerate true courage, and who
feel that the liberties of a Republic can
only be preserved while its ci'izens pre
fer death to dishonor.
Resolved, That we tender to his be
reaved family our sympathy for the
great loss which they share in common
with us, and the State.

Cotton CroD Estimates.
Now Yrrk Bulletin.
Yesterday we published estimates of
the new cotton crop, made by Mr. C.
A. Easton of this city, based upon the
September returns of condition issued
by the National Cotton Exchange,
which made it appear that a crop of
about 4,000,000 bales might be expect
ed. It is to be taken into these calcu
lations, however, that the reports of the
Exchange as well as those of the Agri
cultural Bureau, have habitually, from
some cause or other, proved singularly
within the truth. As shown in a circu
lar just issued by Mr. T. B. Harrison &
Co., Baltimore, estimates based on the
September reports ot the National Ex
change for the crop of 1875-6 were 201
per cent, under the actual yield, while
those for 1876-7 were 121 per cent
below the real result Supposing that
the Exchange returns of this year
should fall below the truth as much as
on the average of the last two years,
viz: 161 per cent., and allowing for the
increase in acreage ot 2 per cent, over
1875, we should tnen have, as the prob
able result for this year, a crop of 4.
762,000 bales. The oircular alluded to
thus states these calculations:

Sp;c:al lo the En.pairer-Sun.J
Boston. Oct. 29.—In a letter to Judge
Pittman. Prohibition candidate for Gov
ernor, William Lloyd GarrisoD, referring
to President Ilayes’ policy, says: With-
out impugning the motives of the Presi
dent. nay, according to him the best in
tention, I regard his policy as a flagrant
betrayal of the trust so confidingly com
mitted to his hands, and in violation of
his pledges to see full protection secured
to all classes at the South, without re
gard to complexion or distinctions, and
as fraught with incalculable mischief, re
joicing, as it does the hearts, strength
ening the hands and facilitating the plans
of the Southern conspirators against law
and ord.:r, liberty and equal rights.. It
indicates a childish credulity, a blind
ness of vision, an imbecility of judgment,
equally suppressing and deplorable, and
the Republican party cannot sanction it
without impeaching its entire course from
the opening of the rebellion to the close
of President Grant’s administration. The
Democratic party claims it as its own
and is jubilant accordingly. It iscause for
deepest humiliation that, the Republican
party in Massachusetts at its State Con
vention at Worcester went back upon its
patriotic record and gave its unqualified
approval to this shameful surrender to
the demands of those whose feet run to
evil and make haste to shed innocent
blood.
Washington, Oct. 27.—The Depart
ment of State has received from the
United States Consul at Curacoa, Dutch
West Indies, an account of a terrible
hurricane which swept over that island
on the 23d of last month. The loss of
property i- estimated at 52,00,000. The
loss of life could not be estimated at
the date of the Consul’s writing, but
was undoubtedly large.
In the City of Curacoa many of the
most solid structures were crushed as if
things of paper by the waves which
rolled upon them mountains high, and
many persons were buried in the ruins.
People who were rich were made pau
pers in an hour. Planters suffered
largely, also, most of the plantations be
ing strewn with uprooted trees and
wrecks of all sorts.
The American schooner Roswell, of
Eastport, D. Catharine master, was
driven ashore and wrecked at Little
Curacoa; the master and crew escaped
and reached the United States Consu
late, where they were received and
taken care of.

We do not wish to he understood as
accepting this estimate of 4,762,000
bales for the current year; for the facts
are, as yet, so imperfectly understood
that present calculations must necessa
rily be very vague. At the same time,
we must in all fairness take due ac
count of the fact that the returns of the
National Exchange ordinarily lead to
a material underestimate of the crop.
We can never be sure, however, what
degree of underestimate should be al
lowed, and hence the uncertainty of
these calculations. In this case the un
derestimate may fall below the 161 per
cent, above adopted, or it may exceed
that percentage; result's alone can show
how wide it is from the truth.
The Cincinnati Enquirer sarcastically
says: “Cotton mills will soon be a feature
iu the South. The people of that part
of the country have been driven to link
about them for employment and support
and will hereafter do their own manufac
turing instead of allowing it to go into
Eastern hands. If the Republicans had
their old-lime working majority in Wash
ington, a law would be put through
making it a capital offense for any one to
erect and operate a cotton mill outside of
the New England States. The country
s going.to the bad very fast.”
London, Oct. 23.—A correspondent
of the Times at Sistova telegraphs ths
following: The Russians have made
contracts for the construction of ascriee
of railways in Bulgaria. Work com
rnences on them October 27th. The
main line will run from Sistova to
Gorney Studen, with branches from
there to Plevna and Tirnove. The
passage of the Danube will be by ferry
boats built on the American plan, car
rying several railway carriages each.
The Michigan Senators want the Gov
eminent to give some millions of dollars
to aid in the construction of a tunnel
under the Detroit river, from Detroit to
the Canada side. They also waut a good
deal of money to build breakwaters in
Michigan harbors. It is really surprising
to see how many subsidies people who
have declared against subsidies want.
These Michigan enterprises are of “na
tional importance,” of course.—Courier-
Journal.
Chattanooga, Oet. 241—The con
vention of Western Southern railroad
lines met here to-day .with C. P. Atmore,
President. It is decided to put excur
sion tickets on sale to Pensacola, Fla.,
on the basis of 839 from Louisville to
Pensacola and reture, 846 from St.
Louis, and S28 from Nashville. Gen
eral interest in centered on Pensacola
as the Florida point for the coming
season.
When a certain Lady Itolle refused,
soon after her husband’s death, to let
the hounds go out, a learned sergeant
law asked Chief Justice Tindal
whether there would be any harm if
they were allowed to do so with a piece
of crape around the’r necks,
“I can hardly think,’ said Sir Nicho
las, "that a piece of crape is necessary ;
it will surely suffice if they are in full
cry.”
A new sect called “the Purifieis,” be
longing to the Greek Church, has sprung
up in Russia. Their leading doctrines
are that all persons must many on
coining of age; that the husband must
be subordinate to the wife and recog
nize her as the head of the family;
and that once a week he must confess
his sins to his wife.
