Forrest s Great Triumph.— The telegraph
this morning, says the Memphis Appeal, gives
us a few of the particulars of Gen. Forrest’s
latest operations in the Tennessee valley.
Enough has been transmitted to warrant us in
saying that the work he accomplished cannot
be over-estimated in importance.
Johnsonvilie is situated on the east bank of
the Tennessee river, four miles above Rey
noldsburg, and is the terrainous of the North
western railroad, connecting Nashville with
the river. The town was named after Andy
Johnson, who caused the railroad to be com
pleted, to enable the 'Federal authorities to
transport stores to Nashville in low stages of
water in the Cumberland. Since the comple
tion of the road, Johnsonvilie has grown to be
an important point, and has been for some
time a great depot for Federal supplies, which
were here shipped direct to Nashville, Knox
ville, Chattanooga or Atlanta, as desired.
This explanation will enable the reader to fully
appreciate the probable extent of the destruc
tion of property that took place.
— »i
A Startling Rumor.— The Columbia Car
olinian says that a gentleman just from Rich
mond, states that he saw an intelligent officer
of the army, who told him it was currently
reported in the city, that intelligence had been
received by a citizen there, to the effeet that
his cousin, who had just returned from a se
cret expedition, had heard from the most un
questionable sources, that a man had been
heard to say recently, that an officer high in
position at Richmond had understood from a
lady just arrived by the morning train, that
she had heard it stated on the cars day before
yesterday, that a lady had said, a few days
ago, that her husband had told her a rumor
prevailed, and vfas.to some extent credited in
official circles in Richmond, that there was
still a few gallons of apple brandy left in the
Shenandoah Valley, which possibly accounts
for the recent defeat of the army of General
Early.
The Loss ol the Iron-Clad Albermarlc—
Fall of Plymouth, N. C.
The re-capture of Plymouth, N. C., by the
Yankees is the obvious consequence of the
sinking, on the night of the 27th ult., of the
Confederate iron-clad Albennarle, the partic
ulars of which have reached us. Our readers
will remember the important part played by
the Albemarle at the time General Hoke as
saulted and regained possession of Plymouth.
Now, that the gallant vessel is lost to us, the
enemy will, doubtless, once more hold the
mastery of the Pamlico and Albemarle
Sounds. We copy the following detailed ac
count of the sinking of the Albemarle from
the Goldsboro’, (N. C.) State Journal:
The Albennarle was moored near the wharf,
a gangway connecting her with the shore.—
Some distance down the river, in the stream,
lay the hull of the Southfield, sunk there by
Captain Cooke when Plymouth was captured
from the Yankees. The Southfield was used
as a picket station by our infantry forces, to
which they passed to and from the shore by
a boat, and this boat was usually kept at the
Southfield.
Thursday night was very dark and stormy.
In the darkness and storm, at the hour stated,
the Yankee expedition surprised, it is said,
the Southfied picket station and captured all
the pickets, twenty-five in number, without
firing a gun, and sent them down the river to
the fleet below in their own boat. The ves
sel used for the Yankee expedition was a long
low steamer, or torpedo boat, propelled by
steam or muffled oars. Having disposed of
the pickets quietly, the Yankees crossed to
the side of the river opposite Plymouth, and
sweeping round, came upon the Albemarle
from the stream.
Our informant, who says he was on the Al
bemarle at the time, as a visitor, and was
somewhat injured by the explosion of the tor
pedo, says that in consequence of the dark
ness and the noise of the storm, the watch on
th* Albemarle knew nothing of the approach
of the enemy till she was close upon them.—
The boat was hailed, “What boat i3 that?”
The reply was, “The Albemarle's boat,” and
at this moment the Albemarle was struck by
the Yankee boat, on the starboard quarter.—
In this aitempt, it is thought, the Yankees
failed to blow up the Albemarle through a
defect in the torpedo.
They immediately swung around their boat
again and were coming down upon the Albe
marle's bow, when they were again asked.
“What boat is that ?” The reply was, “You
will soon see,” and on the instant the Albe
marle was struck and the torpedo exploded.
By this time the alarm was general through
out the ship, and the men rushed to arms and
mode for the outside of the armor, where they
were met by one or two volleys of grape from
a howitzer in a Yankee boat. The Albemarle's
men commenced a rapid fire all around*the
ship, but they could see nothing of the enemy
in consequence of the darkness. It was soon
now ascertained that the torpedo had had
the intended effect, for one of the bows of the
Al be marie was stove in, and she was rapidly
setting down.
In the meantime the Yankees, in their con
tusion. got their boat, in the midst of some
logs, fixed around the Albemarle for her pro
tection. and being unable to extricate her, the
whole party, with the exception of the Cap
tain in command, surrendered, torpedo boat
and all.
so- tar as we can learn none of the crew of
the A-oemarie suffered more than a few slight
wounds. Three of the Yankees are said to
have been wounded. They reported to be all
commissioned and non-commissioned officers,
volunteers for this daring undertaking.
The Albemarle went down in a few minutes,
but the water being shallow her portholes are
not submerged, and though her deck is a few
inches under water, and her guns still com
mand the channel up and down. The injury
she sustained can be repaired in two or three
weeks, including the raising of the vessel.
West Tennessee.
From the Grenada Picket and Motive, Nov. 3.]
We had the pleasure of taking by the hand
our old friend, Capt. Wm. Estelle, of Mabry's
brigade, Forrest’s army, yesterday. He has
just returned from above Jackson, Tennessee,
and kindly furnishes us with a full statement
of the condition of affairs in the artsy.
The captain assures us that Gen. Forrest has
a sufficient force for his conjectured purposes,
aud all are in fine spirits. They are well fed
and supplied with everything they need with
out impressing stores or otherwise annoying
any one. That portion of Tennessee is as true
and loyal as an}' part of the Confederacy.
Washburn is right in calling Tennessee a
“rebel State," if the State is to be judged by
the western portion of it.
Captain E. assures us, of his personal know
ledge, that large numbers of recruits are hur
rying to the standard of the bars. Our men
were kindly met and cordially greeted, every
where they went. The ladies of Jackson and
Bolivar turned out to salute them with waving
handkerchiefs, and even, in their enthusiastic
joy, with cheers. The greatest kindness is
everywhere shown them. Where they were
unable to purchase articles of necessity, they
were freely given to them. The Tennessee
regiments under Gen. Forrest are swelling
their ranks by squads from every neighbor
hood and will be full to repletion.
Isham G. Harris, Tennessee’s noble souled
governor, who has never yet for a day deserted
the boys he called into the field, is along with
the army and is doing good work. West Ten
nessee under her chosen son in whom she has
unbounded confidence, will before very long
not only come out from under the cloud whose
shadow has long rested on her but will shed
abroad such a glorious Confederate light as to
illumine the whole territory of the lion-heart
ed “Volunteer State.”
From Missouri. —The absurdity of the North
ern despatches is too apparent to allow supposi
tion, for a moment, that the statements,about
Price are truer:
General Pleasanton telegraphs that he, with six
thousand men, is driving Price, who has twenty
five thousand ! If there is any instance on record
in which the like has occurred, we have not heard
of it. But in order to set the matter still further
beyond doubt, we will lay before the public a few
facts:
General Price entered Missouri, on the 13th
day of September, with thirty thousand mounted
men, including Shelbj’s force. Three thousand
of these were without arms. Up to the 14th of
October he had recruited and armed twelve thous
and more men. This d%es not include what was
done by Generals Shelby and Clarke in Northern
Missouri.
In Price’s attack on Pilot Knob, he charged
the place three times, and lost three hundred men
killed. . That night the Yankees left in great
haste for St. Louis. Unfortunately for them,
they ran into General Shelby, who was at Big
River bridge, with a force of thirteen thousand.—
He captured the whole party, including all trains
and attachments, except Brigadier General Ewing,
commanding the Yankee troops, and eighty of
his men, who escaped by taking to the brush.
Since that time we have taken Booneville, Lex
ington, Glasgow, and various other towns and
garrisons, where we, of course, captured ammuni
tion and other supplies.
The Chicago Times said that, if Price
get the arms, he could recruit a hundred thousand
men. It must also be recollected that the election
is to come off in a very few days, and it wor’d
not do to let it be known that the Federal arms
had suffered a defeat.
Captain Pike, a son of Gen. Albert Pike, wa3
captured, sometime since, with seven of his men,
and killed, after they had surrendered.
Trial of the Vermont Raiders. —Their
Appearance—What they say, —The exami
nation of the St. Albans raiders has been
commenced at St. Johns, Canada. A dispatch
from there says :
The raiders are understood to have engaged
as counsel, Hon. J. J. Abbot and Messrs. Carr
and Laflame, of Montreal, and Hon, J. H.
Cameron of Toronto.
The examination is conducted with closed
doors, only the counsel and reporters of the
press being admitted.
■ George N. Sanders is here, managing the
case of the rebels. He says they belong to the
first families of Kentucky, and formerly be
longed to John Morgan's forces.
This raid, he asserts, is only the first of a
series of plundering expeditions soon to take
place on the frontiers of the State.
E. G. Johnson, Queen’s Counsel, of Mon
treal, is here as counsel for the Canadian au
thorities.
A letter from St. John’s, Canada, says :
The prisoners are all young men, hail from
Kentucky, are well dressed, and appear in
good spirits, save very much worn out by their
hard ride from St. Albans to Canada. They
are confined in separate cells, not allowed to
converse with each other, and thus far, no one
has been allowed to see them. One of the
prisoners, a young man of nineteen, is said to
have made a confession.
He alleges he is one of Morgan’s men, and
that the expedition was commanded by a cap
tain in the Confederate service, duly commis
sioned for the purpose. They declare that
their intention was to burn the village of St.
Albans, but a portion of their band did not
■‘•'come to time.” According to the statement
of those thus far captured, those who did the
work numbered exactly twenty-five.
The St. Albans Messenger has the follow
ing :
. The ‘-Confederate gentlemen. a3 the raid-*
ers claim themselves to be. are for the most
part, intelligent and good looking men. Some
of them, on being arrested, said that their
work was but half accomplished, owing to the
orders not being obeyed. They declared it
was their determination to burn St. Albans,
then to proceed to Swanton and to Sheldon
and fire those places.
The man who gave his name as Wallace,
C. M., who is evidently one of the ringleaders,
has th/appearance of being a Southerner.—
His talk and manners indicate that he ha3
seen service in th«i Southern army.
There are only eleven of the raiders thus
far captured. Col. or Capt. Clyde, who as
sumes the leadership of the gang, keeps up
the most brazen effronery. He declares that
he is a Confederate officei, and that his or
ders came from Early.

Ynnkfe Raiders.
Dispatches were received in Eufaula on last
Monday from the commandant ot the post at
Marianna, Fla., stating that the Yankee caval
ry had been crossing the Chattahoochee river
at Hewlett's Ferry all day on Saturday. They
were coming from the direction of Milton, and
evidently are making their way toward Mari
anna, or in the direction of this county. They
visited and burnt Marianna only a short time
ago, and we therefore see no inducement to
lead them in that direction now. We should
not be surprised, at any day, to hear of their
being in Coflee, Dale or Henry counties, and
if they come there, what is to prevent them
from visiting this county? We have men
enough at home to whip off any ordinary raid
ing party the Yankees may send up this way,
and are pleased to know that our county com
mandant is wide awake and detlhnined to
give the robbers a warm reception should they
venture thus far. Every man in the county,
able to ride horseback, ought to belong to
some company organized to defend our homes
against these raiding parties of the enemy.
One hundred men can frequently, by ambus
cading the raiders, drive back a thousand of
them. Such has been the experience of our
home guards in Mississippi. We called the
attention of our people to this matter only a
few weeks ago. We now again sound the
alarm. Preparation cannot possibly do us
any harm, and might possibly save the lives

Miscegenation.
One of the most shocking cases of misse
genation which has yet occurred to the dis
grace of the civilization of society of this city,
has recently come to light, wherein one of
the parties is a negro drayman as black as
midnight, and the other a young and, in many
respects, accomplished woman, the daughter
of a Chicago merchant. Monstrous as the
statement may seem, these twain are man and
wife, and their marriage took place with the
consent freely and unhesitatingly given of the
bride’s parents. It is something over a year
since the disgusting spectacle was presented
of a well to do merchant voluntarily, and
proudly even, giving away his daughter to the
embraces of a negro—something over a year
since the select party of devotees to this ad
mirable philosophy gathered together upon
that festive occasion to admire the trousseau
of a negro’s bride, and witness the ceremony
which was to brand forever her offspring.—
From' that time to this, husband and wife
have lived together in the most affectionate
manner. The man wa3 her choice, her dear
ly beloved, and no wonder they should live
happily together. The establishment main
tained by them has never been an imposing
one, it was early found that even money could
not repurchase the position which the young
woman had once held, and the newly married
pair very quickly found it to be for the advan
tage of all concerned to take a small cottage
in on obscure quarter of the city, where they
now continue to dwell, and from whence the
happy groom each morning starts off with his
dray, after imprinting a kiss upon the fair
cheek of his affectionate wife, smoking a short,
black pipe and gaily whistling “Kingdom
Coming,” or some other "popular tune.
The citizen above referred to, and whose
name for common decency’s sake, we sup
press, is a strong believer in a certian mod
ern school of politics, and like many unfor
tunate individuals in that party was led far
astray from sound reasoning by the boldly
maintained falacies and oily rhetoric of some
of their leaders and orators, and became a
firm and ardent supporter of the doctrine of
the absolute equality—social and political—
of the white and black races. In this faith
he rejoiced in being of she strictest of his
sect. His children were taught the same
creed, and grew up with a constantly deepen
ing conviction that the question of color wa3
but a silly prejudice, and that the black man
was after all in every respect the white man’s
peer. In this way all the objections to such
a remarkable match had been at an early day
uprooted from the girl’s mind, and she was
gradually schooled to make the extraordiary
choice above mentioned.
So far as the immediate parties to this af
fair are the mother is of trifling
importance now. If any young woman is un
happy enough as to be possessed of such strong
African proclivities, it can only be hoped
that she may enjoy herself, in such a union ;
but it3 tendencies upon public society, affairs
of this nature cannot be too strongly con
demned by every well-wisher of the race.

Tlie Finanrial Crisis at the North.
The New York Herald has a lory article touch
ing the financial crisis in the North, and speculates
as to how it will be affected by the result of the
Presidential election. It says:
Many are disposed to place undue importance
upon the result of the forthcoming election. The
argument of the McClellan side is that if Mr. Lin
coln should be re-elected the war is likelv to be
prolonged over a longer period than if the'Deino
cratic candidate Is triumphant, and that a vast in
crease of public debt, and much further deprecia
tion of the currency will be inevitable. The argu
ment of the opposite side is that if McClellan i?
elected public confidence in the national credit will
be shaken, and politicians of the Democratic party
will begin to talk of measures tending to repudia
tion, But both these arguments are prejudiced, and
the future of the national finances depends less
upon the success of either candidate than many are
disposed to believe. Whatever tho result of the
contest may be, the present financial policy of the
country must be changed if the ultimate Jisaster
which it is inviting are to be averted. The first
duty of Congress is to take into serious considera
tion this important subject. The public debt is un
dergoing augmentation at a rate so enormous that
further paper money expansion will aggrevate the'
existing evil in a rapidly increasing ratio. Yet the
policy of paper money inflation is being steadily
persevered in, and the incubus daily becoming
greater, Our national debt is nearly two thousand
millions, and of this $687,006,873 was in the form ol
currency issue at the end of September, exclusive
of more than fifty-three millions of national bank
paper.' The worst blunders of Mr. Chase have been
repeated by his no less incompetent successor, and
are likely to be continued till legislation steps in
and provides a remedy. Whichever, therefore, may
be the dominant party, the future of the finances of
this country may be easily foreseen, unless measure?
are adopted to counteract the currency evil and so
improve the value of the paper dollar.

Davis* Last Speech and Confession.
The late speech of Jefferson Davis is very
significant. At first it seemed so evideutlv
a cry of frantic desperation that it was doubt
ful whether it were authentic. But, authentic
or not, it is equally significant. If he really
made it, it is the most pitiful wail of baffled
treason. If it were forged by the Macon paper
in which it appears, the object of the forgery
could only have been to dispirit the rebels by
the apparent despair of their chief, with the
further purpose of suggesting submission by
revealing the hopelessness of the rebellion.
But there seems no reason to doubt its au
thenticity. Jefferson Davis did probably
make the speech, of something of which this
is a general report. He doubtless called. Gen.
Butler a beast, because Mr. Davis is not choice
in his epithecs, and has formerly spoken of his
loyal fellow-citizens as hyeuas. Doubtless,
he spoke of General Butler as seeking, in his
efforts to exchange prisoners, “to whitewash
himself by intercourse with gentlemenal
though in what particular a Southern planter
who sells babies and lives by the unpaid la
bor of men and women whom he whips at
pleasure, is more gentlemanly than a Northern,
lawyer or mechanic, who lives by his owr.
labor, Mr. Jefferson Davis fails to show.
Doubtless he said that “the end must be the
defeat of our enemy,” for Johnston and Hood
had drawn Sherman from his base all the way
to Atlanta ; and because the rebellion hold?
hardly a quarter of the area with which it be
gan ; and because Davis himself says imme
diately afterwards, “You have not many men
between eighteen and forty-five left.” Doubt
less he said, “The city of Macon is filled with
stores, sick and wounded.". Doubtless, he
added, “Two-thirds of our men are absent,
most without leave.” Doubtless, too, he add
ed, “In Virginia the disparity in numbers is
just as great as it is in Georgia.” And doubt
less, as a logical conclusion, he said, “Let a',
one despond. Let no one distrust; and re*
member if genius is the beau ideal , hope is th >
reality.”
There are those who have tried hard to form
some heroic conception of Jefferson Davis, to
represent him as a flue historical figure. The
British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gladstone,
spoke of his “creating a nation.” The rebel
penny-a-liners for the British newspapers and
for our own Copperhead journals, have been
very fond of comparing his “dignity” with
Mr. Lincoln’s want of it. But where was ever
seen such sorry want of pluck in the defeated
leader ofa great and wicked enterprise ? Where
was ever beard such a shameful whine as
this Macon speech? The Roman Catiline, Da
vis’ great exemplar, but less guilty than he,
died sullen and gloomy upon the field. But
this renegade American, this wretched traitor
who has brought all the woes of war upon
his country because he wa9 defeated at an
election, whimpers, “if one half the men now
absent without leave will return to duty we
can defeat the enemy. With that hope fam
going to the front. I may not realize this
hope, but I know there are men there who
hare looked death in the face too often to de
spond now.” Even the foot-pads of Houn
slow Heath used to ride gayly to the gallows
with a nose-gay in their button holes. But
they had merely eased travelers of their pur
ses. Thi3 man who speaks at Macon has
headed an insurrection which has saturated
the land with innocent blood.
This is the man and this is the cause to which
the Chicago Convention invites the American
people to surrender, by voting for Genera!
Mac Pendleton. Let us stop fighting him, say?
the Convention. Let U3 exhaust the resource
of statesmanship, says General MacP.
Let us pul down the rebellion ! the American
