Defence of Gen. Forreet.
Gen. Eaton, editor of the Memphis
Ibst, a Radical paper, recently made a
speech in New York, in - which he thus
relieves Gen. Forrest of responsibility
for the Fort Pillow massacre:
We dish bur Northern friends to take
careful note of what we are about to
to say. We are about to make a state
ment which will be eptiroly at variance
with their opinions—opinions too, sin
cerely and honestly formed and enter
tained, and supported by sufficient evi
dence. Wbat we meau is this: It is
generally believed at the North, und by
many persons at the South, that General
Forrest was the cause aiid author, the
fans el oriyo , of the Fort Pillow mas
sacre. We formerly held that belief
ourselves, and thought -we had good
grounds for it. We now think that the
General’s friends have material for rais
ing a strong presumption —and this is
what we wish to call attention to —that
Gen. Forrest has been misjudged.
We think they may have sufficient
evidence to justify them in asserting
that he condemned at the time, and has
done so ever since, the conduct of his
men ; that he restrained them ju*>t as
soon as it was in his power to do it;
that he used strenuous efforts and severe
measures in doinjf this; that be shot
one of his own men dead in enforcing
his orders ; that he took three hundred
prisoners, white and black, and treated
them as kindly as prisoners usually
were on his side ; and, in fine, fhst it is
the great grief of his life that this hor
rid thing should have occurred, aud
that his name should have been con
nected with it.
It will be asked how came it to pass
that this thing should have beer, done
by men under Forrest’s command, and
yet he not be held guilty? W’e answer
that his forces were peculiar; that the
kind of warfare he waged was ealeu
lated to weaken discipline. He moved
rapidly from place to place with mount
ed men, snbsisting off the country, and
and we learu in our army what effect this
had upon troops. Then Forrest had hun
dreds of reckless men, who all their
lives bad been taught to hold the life of
a negro' cheap, and the taking ot such
life about equal to the crime of killing
a dog. Forrest, we learu, was not
present when the assault was made,
resulting in the massacre, but rode in
all haste to the scene of action, as soon
as he learned what was going on, and
by his authority put a stop to it.
Gen. Forrest, nearly a year ago, de
manded a commission, before which he
proposed to place proof establishing
the statements we Have introduced
above. This request of his has never
been granted. Gen. Forrest deserves
justice. We seek this lor him. No
Confederate General talked so sensibly
to his men at the time of their surren
der, and no one has conducted himself
more honorably or more decorously
since. We, the victors, can afford to
do honor to the gallantry, chivalry, and
nobleuess ot the vanquished, and we
shall show ourselves less worthy of be
ing victors whenever we tail to do this.
Advakces to Piasters.— I The last
Geqpral Assembly of Georgia, with a
view to encourage advances to planters,
to enable them to make another crop,
passed the following Lien law, to which
we call the attention of merchants and
factors:
An Act to give Landlords a lien upon
V the crops ot Tenants, for stock, farm
ing utensils, aud provisions, furnished
such tenants for the purpose of ma
. king their crops ; and to give factors
and merchants a-lieu upon the grow,
ing crops of farmers, for provisions,
and commercial manures, furnished
them for the purpose of making their
crops.
Srojri. Thft General Assembly rtf tire
State of Gcoryia do enact, That frpra
aud after -the passage of this Act, that
, landlords may have, by special Contract
iu Writing, a lien upon the crops of their
tenants, for such stock, farming utensils,
and provisions furnished shell tenants,
for the purpose of making their crops.
.be it further enacted,
Tkat FutforS gfifl.-Mfcrfi hunts shall have
a lieu upcn the growing crops of Farm
ers, for provisions furnished, and com
mercial manures furnished, upon'such
terms as may be agreed npon by the
parties.
Sec. 3. Aud be further enacted, That
such liens shall be enforced in the same
way. and rnauuer that licqs are now en
forced against steamboats in this State.
Sec. 4. Repeals conflicting laws.

Wade;—The Memphis Bulletin, of the
9th inst., says:
Senator 'Wade said to a Mississippi
‘Judge, 8 resident of Oxford, we behove,
that he had wholly misconceived the
'spirit and purposes of the South. He
had deemed us animated by fixed, irre
mediable hostility to Northern people,
“ hnd'by this apprehension of Southern
sentiment his course in the Senate has
been shaped. lie hud seen and heard
enough during his sojourn in these
States to satisfy him that he had been
misled, and that his subsequent condoct
would show that be had the manliness
to confess an error. Such is the sub
stance of his remarks us recited to us.

GEORGIA ITEMS. * '
Henry PcWeeeoU has bean cboaen
Chief of the Macon Fire Department,
The following are the names of the
sufferers by the Cartersvilje fire: Dr.
J. W. Curry, J. W. Gladden, A. R.
Hadgens, Isham Alley, J. A. Erwin ft
Cos., W. L. Kilpatrick ft Go, Blair ft
Bradshaw, and Dr. W. W. Leak. The
Express saved a part ol it* material,
and appears on n half sheet.
At the recent election in Bartow
county, in wference »0 a change oi
the county ait*, Cartersvflk received s
handsome majority. ’
We are requested to state, for the
information of those who may be in*
terested, that’the remains of Colonel
Taylor aßd Private Thompson, both of
the 53d Georgia Regiment, are buried
in the front yard of Mr. R. H. Arm
strong, near Knoxville, Tenn.
The residence of Dr. M. H. Hart, of
Dawson county, was burned a few days
ago—the work of aii lovemlmrv.
Kr. Lnwshe, Atlanta, has invented a
lock, which is said to be especially
adapted to railway purposes.
The Signal, a neat aud spirited peper,
says Dahlonega is showing cheering
signs of improvement. It has twelve
dry goods stores, four bar rooms, two
blacksmith shops, one wagon and cat
ri»ge shop, one market house, one hotel,
and nearly four huodieJ inhabitants,
aud is daily increasing, so much so,
that there is not a vacant house iu the
town. ’
A friend in Hart, writing to the
editor of the Athens Watchman, says:
“ Old grandmother Bowers, of that
county, can say, ‘Arise, daughter, and
go unto thy daughter, for thy daughter's
daughter has a daughter 1"'
The iMPEAcnxEHT Project.—Not
withstanding the determined vigor with
which Ashley’s impeachment programme
is being pushed in Congress, it appears
that it meets with no response from the
people, or from the leading organs of
popular opinion. AH the prominent
New York journals oppose it, and the
boldest threats of resistance are made
in many quarters. We have yet to
meet with the first paper of standing or
influence with any party that has veil
tured to commend the step, or to speak
of it in terms at all favorable.
Referring to this subject, the Consti
tutional Union, published at Washing
ton City, says: “It is monstrous, how
ever, that a man like Andrew Johnson,
who has had no ambition in life but to
serve his country, who has devoted
himself zealously and self sacrificingly
to her best interests, should be so
assailed by men who are traitors to tbe
Constitution, and who have declared
officially that if the “Law stands iu the
way” of their schemes, “so much the
worse for that law.” We tell them that
the country is tired of this thing. The
PEOPLE WILL HOT PERMIT THE IMPEACH—
lieht of President Johnson, And if
radicalism does not come to its senses
soon, the people of the country will
take the matter in their own hands, and
abolish radicalism. We speak whereof
we know.”
The Davts Cot off.—Tke Vicks
burg Herald says that the famous Davis
cut off has at length been made. The
Mississippi river has thus been shorten*
ed eighteen miles. The shute is twenty
five miles below Vicksburg, on the Mis
sippi side- We have heard of one boat
going through but we have learned that
the water is deep enough to permit all.
The “Block House,” erected by the
Federals, has been washed away. The
surrounding residences of Joseph and
Jefferson Davis are, therefore, on an
island.
Tiie Unfulfilled Prophecies.—
Now that 1867’has dawned upon us, the
Second Advenlism followers must be
very much chop fallen. The year just
closed, they argued, would witness an
end of all, thiijgs here below without
fail. Tbev might have erred before, but
there was no mistake this time. Ac
cordingly, these followers, confidently
listened for the blowing *f tbe last trump
up till the dawn of the new year. Bnt
Dr. Comtniugs and his school were again
compelled to announce a postYmnementi
By the way he now denies that he has
ever designated any period for the end
of the world.
The. Tariff and Taxation. A
Northern exchange says it has been
informed that the iron interest of Penn
sylvania, the wool-growing interest of
the West, and the manufacturing inter
ests of New England have combined for
the purpose of forcing through Congress
such a revision of the present tariff as
shall still further increase the already
onerous duties upon iron, upon English
and French cloth, aud upon all kinds
of foreign goods, and it is believed that
the combination, notwithstanding all
opposition, will attain its object. The
advocates of this measure say its adop
tion is ’necessary to sustain the manit-,
fatigying!oteflef \ M3 and * rftry under
the crushing, weight of the present sys
tem of taxation. . t
Ashley.—lt <wna ajked. a day or two
ago, who is Ashley? A Louisville paper
says he has played rogny parts, having
been, successively, clerk oif a store boat,
prjqter, law student, boat builder, news
paper publisher, and druggist, before he
been me what he now is, the lust being
the least of all.
Handsome.— The New Orleans Cres
cent says that several of the Vicksburg
merchants madu up a purse of SIOO fir
the men of the Twenty-fourth United
States Infantry, as a testimonial of
gratitude lor the great service rendered
by that command at the late disastrous
fire. The gallant 'Twenty-fourth impie
diately turned the amount over to the
Mayor for the relief of the sufferers.
Creditable to douors aud douees.
A Radical Wa«n t**,'—ThbAaf t#»,
which ia certainly the most thoughtful,
as it is the most powerful, organ at
its party, thus, in its retrospect of the
years 1865 and 1866, reflects upon
pending issues and propositions: ~
The abolition of slavery only became
an accomplished fact in 1865.1 It was
-a great event; the greatesUperhaps —
considering the number of persons,
liriug and unborn, whose destiny has
been affected by it—which’ has oc
curred since Christ cams. It was so
great an event that the first impulse of
most of thoße*Wh'o assisted' in bringing
it about was to belieya that emancipa
tion was the one thing needful for the
slave, and that once free he might
safely.be left to work out his own salva
tion, mo matter wbat dangers, moral or
material, beset him. We have awaken
ed fr m that delusion. Moat people are
niw satisfied that freedom aloue is a
y rj imperfect boon, and that he has to
be provided with the means of pre
serving and profiting by it.
One party is satisfied that all he needs,
not only to accomplish this end, but to
become a strong power of defence for
our Government, is the ballot. They
talk of it as if it were a talisman or an
elixir of life, a great enlightener and
educator, and the only one heeded. It
is safe to say-’ that this theory, too, is
undergoing reconsideration ; that every
month adds to the number of those who
feel that the ballot in the bands of an
ignorant man may prove but a club iu
the hands of a blind Samson, which be
may use against bis triends as well as
foes, as General Butler has happily
termed it, and that to make it a real
blessing it ought to be accompanied by
education. The disposition which has
shown itself so widely amougst North,
ern politicians of late to treat education
as of no political importance, is, we tvel
sun, the offspring of passing party
excitement, and will disappear under
the influence of deeper reflection and
wider experience.
Annex of a Mouihtb on Dress.—
In the Herald of Health for January,
Madame Demurest, who is good author
ity, on female dress in general, writes a
very sensible article ou “Dress and its
Relation to Health.” She thinks tlint
the undergarments and covering of the
feet lack proper attention, and speaks
feelingly of “the elastic which keeps the
stocking up at the knee as impeding
the free circulation of the blood, while
the fashion now prevalent Os wide
spreading crinoline demands, for the
sake of modesty, as well as health, a
plenl iful snpply ofnndcrclothing.” These
straightforward sentences are as sensible
as they are modestly expressed, and it
is to be hoped that sensible and modest
women will follow Madame D.’s advice.
Duelling in Mississippi. The
Vicksburg Herald says the innocent
amusement of duelling is about to come
to grid in that part of Mississippi. It
gays several gentlemen, who have been
engaged iu this innocent amusement,
have been indicted by the grand jury
and bound over in the sum of one
thousand dollars, to answer for the
offence against the peace aud dignity of
the State of Mississippi.
