One of the first duties of Cod- ' Vieksl.urg Commc, .al Oct. 30, 1C77.
i ai The pe.-ple ot the South will learn
cress is to rescue t lie Mexican - - ., ,' , . . ...
wit a the deepest aud most u n feign -tionble
from the perilous position reffKt, of tue death of Nefoou
in which it has been placed by tne Bedford Forrest, a Lieutenant Gen-
irubecility or the intrigue of the
Hayes Administration.
We have seen private citizens
coolly organizing hostilities against
the neighboring republic ; The Gov
ernor of a border State openly rais

alry riding far and wide on Mexi.
can soil upon false rumors, and, in
fact, whenever it seemed good in
his eyes. Only the fear of the fore.
f earance of Mexico has prevented
her from forcibly resisting these
outrages. In either .case the con
duet of the Government at Wash
ington has been disgraceful.
The studiuiis omission rf all re
ference to this urgent subject in
Mr. Hayes's message forms an ad
ditioual reason why ii should be
promptly-investigated. If Mr Hayes
is aiming at war with Mexico, winy
does he not put his case before Con
gress, instead of trusting to the ex
asperation which may be produced
iu Mexico by the wanton raids of
subordinate cavalry ofliceis, claim
ing to act under geneial iusfruc
tions from San Antonio? If he does
not want war, why is this roon.
strous guerrill.t business allowed to
go on 1
What Hayes and his state Depart
ment have thus far done is this -.
They have violated Mexico territo
ry without just caue, aud hence
have put tbe country permanently
in the wrong. They have not ouly
reaped no fruits from these wanton
raids, but thev have officially de
monstrated that the raids were
without excuse. The effect will be
seen should damages ever be claim
ed from Mexico for the alleged viola
tion of Texan territory by armed
pandits from the other side of the
river.
Congress should take up this sub
ject at once, to rebuke and cueck
conduct so unjust, so fruitless, aud
so perilous.
On Tuesday next the voters go to
the polls and cast their votes for the
men selected by the various conven
tions, County and State, to fill the
State aikd countv offices, aud the
quiet that has prevailed during the
campaign isXruiy encouraging when
contrasted with the scenes that
have disgraced tUe country duiing
the decade of carpet-bag domina
tion. Now, iirtettigeuce and capacity
have asserted their rightful superi
ority over ignorance, corruption and
venality. Nosv men are selected for
office and places of trust on account
of -capacity and fitness lor the posi.
Hons for which they are chosen.
Heretofore
men of kuowu djs-
hone&ty, whose characters wre
blackened all over with corruption
aud crime, were placed in the high
est official positions by a set of
ignorant barbariaus, who voted with
about as uuicb reason and intelli
gence as a lot of wild mustang
ponies about whose necks a lasso
bad never lieeu thrown. With such
a miserable set of mlersit is not
straugo that tbe whole c. a itry is in
bankruptcy, and suffering aud star
vation aie ,at our doors. "They
have framed mischief by a law.'"
Now our mission is to undo what
they have done amiss. Let us amend
the Constitution so as to prohibit
the carrying of deailly weapons ot
any kiud, and establish a whipping
post for larceny and some other of
tenses, without regard to eolor or
previous condition. Three hundred
lashes, well laid on, at a post in the
court yard, would effect a greatei
reform tliau sending forty men to
the State penitentiary, especially as
most the men we send there uever
bad a character to lose, and are
better fed aud provided lor there
than at home. We also need a
limitation ou the right of suffrage
and the qualification of jurors.
These are all needed reforms.
Death of Senator Morton.
This much lamented, though not
anlooked-tor event, occurred on
the evening of the 1st iust. After
a long and painful illness, which he
endured with tbe utmost patience,
the Senator passed from the scenes
of Lis busy life. May he rest in
peace.
Senator Wallace of Pensylvania
has been conspicuous iu the finan
cial business of Congress so far ;
but it is ouly fair to say that he lias
asked to be held free from respou
sibility for some of the notions em
bodied in the bills which he has in
troduced. One of these refers to
the discovery and patenting of a
metal called "goloid," which is made
by mixing one pound of gold with
twenty four pounds of silver and
two aud three quarter pounds of
copper. Jt is asserted that two
hundred and fifty eight graius
ot this mixture is equal iu value to
a gold or silver dollar. The hill
directs the issue of $400,000 000
worth ot the metal 250,000,000 one
dollar piece, 200 000,000 quarter-
dollar nieves. Tbe bill also directs
trohl and silver coins and Treasury

General N. B. Forrest-
, eral in the army of the late Conred
orate States ot America. This sad
! event, which oeeured at Memphis,
i yesterday eve. dug, though not uu
1 expected, w ill cause a thi ill of sor
row in
spects,
many Hearts, in many r( -
General Forrest was one of
the most remarkable men of the age.
Born in humble life, with no heri
tage hut grinding poverty, denied
all the advantages of education, be
possessed a mind of great natural
vigor, and a judgment remarkable
for its strength and accuracy.
Long before the advent of the great
civil war and its horrors, Bedford
Forrest, as he was called by his
friends, had become a man of mark
and influence. Fiom poverty, he
had, by his great energy and uner
ring judgment, risen to he a man ot
large fortune, and when the storm
of war burst upon tbe country, he
was one of the most extensive cot
ton planters in the great cotton
belt of the South.
When the South called her sons
to the field, Forr. St was among the
first, to respond, and at the head ol
an eiyht company battalion of cav
alry, he entered ac once upon active
service. His first meeting with
the enemies of his country, was
ueai Green river, in Southern Ken
tucky, where, at the head of about
three hundred men, he encountered
an euual number ot Col, James
Jackson's command, and achieved
a signal triumph, the brigbt pn
cursor of a most brilliant career.
In this, his first fight Col. Fuiresi
killed seventy ot the enemy, and
captured thir y odd prisoners, all i f
whom were wounded. His own
loss was one officer Capt. Ed. Me
riwether, killed, one private wound
ed. His battalion was soon, by the
addition of two companies, increas
ed to a regiment. At the battle of
Fort Donaldson, Col. Forrest wan
conspicuous for gallantry and good
conduct, and succeeded iu bunging
his regiment from that ill failed
tieid. At Shilo, Col. Forrest again
attracted public attention by his
daring and brilliant conduct, and
was promoted (o the rank of briga
dier general.
We have not space to foMow Gen.
Forrest thiough his onward and up
ward career during the remainder
of the war, nor is it necessary.
With his dazzling record his coun
trymen are all familiar. Wher
ever blows were to be struck, or
danger encountered, the unstained
crest of Forrest streamed like a me
teor athwart the skies. His name
was the synonym, and his presence
the precusor of assured triumph.
When the close came, when "giiiu
visaged war smoothed his wrinkled
front,'' Gen. Forrest sought to for
get the fields ot blood and carnage
upon which he had so often looked
with calmness, aud bent his great
energies to the work of peace. Be
lieving that "peace had her victo
ries not less renowned than war"
Gen. Forrest diligently devoted
himself to the w inning of triumphs
and the gathering ot laurels an
stained with human gore. His la
bors iu the cause of internal im
pro v em eat s and other kindred
measures for the promotion of the
'interests ot tbe people will not be
.forgotten by those for whom he la
bored. At length tbe busy brain
began to show signs of weariness,
tbe iron frame began to yield to
the long strain, and the once raven
hair grew- white. It was apparent
teauxious friends that death had
placed his mark upon the great
cavalry
eader, and thai the man ol
iron courage, whouuti mronen pass'
ed seathless thiough the storm ot
battle, must soon surrender to the
common enemy of mankind. That
dreaded event has at last occuted.
The gieat soldier is at peace after
all his battle, is at rest alter all
his toils. The spirit that never
bowed to aught on earth has wing
ed its fight to loftier spheres. The
soldier who was the peer of Jack
son,C3leUarne, Polk and Van Dome,
ha gone to rejoin them. The men
who followed his standard thiough
so many battle-, those who still ie
maiu to fight the battles of life,
will gather arouud his open coffin
with wet eyes, and while the.v
mourn the ileath of the daring sol.
ilier, wili drop n tear to the memory
of the man, and heave a sigh of re
gret for the true, the tender, the
gentle friend. The yeais may come
aud the years may go, but the worid
will grow gray ere we look upon
his like again. Faiewell gallant
spirit! The earth never pressed up
ou the breast of a braver or more
knightly soldier.

tih lull liurjli v as then a 'mittcd iu our
Conference.
The Etdei-s address was as follovs:
ilimltm of the African Methodist Episcopal
Zion- Chmxh Brttkrem in Christ: W'e have
iijjaiu assembled u ;l ilhitriet onference, to
regulate the business of this conference
district. Now allow me to .. utter the same
s.-utvoce that 1 uttered !, son in Sharon
al oar district conference last year. God
has been unspeakably kind to us the past
year to span-our lives and health amid all 1
our infirmities and short conduits: ami i
J how gratetul we ongnt labeto rum tor tue
loving care and undiminished solicitude
wilu which 111s guai-uiaiisinp oas neen ex
ercised over us. Let us search and try our
ways, that we may the more earnestly and
devoutly -lilt np our heart with Jour hands
unto the God of Glory." let us come he
lore His presence with thanksgiving, anil
"eutar into his courts with praise," ac
knowledging Him iu all our ways, that He
may vouchsafe to direct us in ali our paths.
We w ill now notice the state of the Church
in this District, lie ure gratified in view
of the progress made bj our beloved Zion
Church the last yenr. When we behold
how tne little number which started out of
John street. New York, in the year 1795, on
account of prejudice, and have increased
from a handful comparatively, to more than
two hundred thousand members, and the
Annual Conference which was fonnerly
composed of but six ministers is now in
creased to the large number of seventeen
Annual Conferences and over two thousand
ministers. We marvel at the grace of God
to see how it is manifested toward this
humble biMich of Christ's Church. We
revere the memory ot that distinguished
man, Joshua U. Soule, late Bishop of the
if. K. Church South, for the aetive part he
took as secretary of the hist several con -
lerenees, in assisting to piani mis iinircn
ou tile linn foundation of the "genuine
Wesleyan Methodist, and rejoice that after
an existence of eighty-one years its princi
ples are such as to command the respect of
the entire Methodist family, lu the year
1796, when the colored member of the
U. E. Church in the city of New Fork in
creased, and feeling a desire tor tie- privi-i-ge
of holding meeting's of their own,
win re they blight have an opportunity to
in rcise their spiritual gifts among; then
selves, theieby be mor- ust tut o-c to an
other, a few of our most intelligent breth
ren obtained permission from Bishop Fran
cis Ashbury to hold ii ectings bj t actus. Ivea
in the interval of the regular pi. ;., oi.g
davs. We call this a colored church, that
is for all colored people, aud I say that all
colored people of African decent shonld
look to this branch as a church for their
elevation. You may ask the white man
and he will tell you this ii your church.
We have in this district alone inure church
property than any other colored Methodist
people iu the whole Si ate of Mississippi.
1 w ill further say to yon, that I have been
kindly eared for in the way of feeding, but
my means are very much declined. I am
now iu great need of the money that
this Conference promised to p-iy ine,
which you know was 25 cents per quartet
from each member. 1 have not got it, and
hope this Conference will see to it that I
get it before I go to the next Annual Con
ference, which will meet in Coffeeville,
Miss., in December coming.
( Concluded next week.)
Whenever you see a little news
paper raising a terrible hullabaloo
oJiont what a trood uaoer it is, and
jelling out at lhe top of its voice
about old reliable, reputable jour
nals. and standing on its head aud
emitting little jets of steam lioui
either end, you may know that lit
tle paper is getting ready to "bust."
We've seeu so many tear themsel
