Forrest, of Tennessoe, nfler a painful and protracted illness,, has departed this life ; therefore, Resolved, That we, his conipanions-in-arms, deem it meet and proper to give expression to our admiration and esteem for our depurtd friend and fellow-soldier. Ilorn of humble parents?poor and untutored in youth?he was successful in civil life, and wsrUtsiioMwt ap*o. imen of a citizen soldier. With unsconcieus power, he begun his military career a private in the ranks. With increasing consciousness of strength, lie passed through the gradations of oonitnands until ho stood at tho head of a cavalry corps, the terror of one army and the admiration of the other. With the intrepid dash of Muratand dauntless courage of Ney, he possessed u native strategy second to no man. In battle his name alone was a tower of strength? his presence ever inspiring courage in the weak and confidence in the strong, and he will live in history us Nature's military genius. llraoliv</. That (Sen. Forrest won his name in the Confederate service, but that his fame belongs to the American people, and will be cherished by all who venerate true courage, and who feel that the liberties of a Republic can only be ptescrvcd while its citizens prefer death to dishonor.

Hunter, in the Philadelphia Times Mr. Davis takes issue with Mr. Hunter as to tae motives which actuated the Confederate Government in appointing the "Peace Commission," of which Mr. Hunter was a member, uud produces a letter of .Secretary Benjamin, with copies of Mr. Lincoln's letter and the original and amended instructions to the Commissioners, in support of his position. Of especial interest in this locality is an article from the pen of W. T. U1 asset, Coiuinauder Confederate States Navy, giving his experience in the use of torpedoes in Charleston harbor in 1803. It has all the lomnntic interest of a chapter of Marryatt, while the character of the author, the source from which it comes, (the South Carolina Historical Society,) to say nothing of the public nature of some of the facts which it records, put its truth beyond question. The other articles, each of which has its peculiar interest, are: Gen. Patton Anderson's Report of the Battle of Joncsboro', Ga.; Gen. Perry's Report of the Rattle of Chnncellorsville; the Defence and fall of th s Spanish Port ; Gen. K. L. Gibson's Farewell Address to his Brigade; Col. K. P.

Resides this, the high intellectual order of the delegate* and the marked personnel of the delegate themselves impress one strongly.

The convention is apparently acting for the whole world upen mailers that involve the future of the sotti and the well-being of the church. It is a rare treat to listen to some of the arguments of the delegates. The learning evinced shows the high intellectual standard ot the church. Ainoug the delegates are men who are as able theologians as they are politicians. Governor Stevenson, of Kentucy, and the lion. Montgomery Blair, of Maryland, are striking examples of this variety of useful training. The politician among the lay delegates of this Episcopal Conventio i is a theologian of more than ordinary mould. The stenographic reports uf the daily sessions of the Convention are produced by the reporters for the Congressional Globe. Some half a dozen or more short-hand writers manuge to have laid before the Convention early in the moriiig a complete report of the previous day's doings. The total expenses of the Convention will foot up about $50,000. Death or 8e*wou- jfrfitox.?Indianapolis, Ind., November I?MO P M.?Senator Morton has been thought to be sinking since an early hour this morning. At 0 o'clock there was a rumor on the street that his death had occurred, but it was found on inquiry nt his residence to bo incorrect. The rumor of his death, doubtless arose from the fact that his pulse hud ^rown so feeble nt I lint hour as to be quite imperceptible, but subsequently his breathing grew strong and natural, and his voice clear, as he spoke ii?vor/il tirana in lew Words to liis attendants.?

It was purely accidental on our part, for we consider him one of our best and most reliable Mcrchauts and, withal, a constant advertiser. He has received an uncommonly large stock of Fall and Winter Dry Goods mild Notions, with Groceries, Crockoryware, Glassware, and every other kind of goods needed in this market; and like all tlio oilier Merchants, tins put the priors down to the lowest mark possible. Let no one come to town without calling on him. You wiil tird him snd his clerks obliging and ready to show their goods. The Jury, after being out twelve hours, returned a verdict of "guilty" against Cardoso, fur misdemeanor, iu that he stele and nssisted others in stealing large amounts from the Stale Treasury. Hew is it that during this trial the New* and Courier has so little to say for. or against Cardozo. It will be remembered that two years ngo that paper was the volunteer chnuipion of Cardozo, when his own party accused him of the very crime of which the jury has just convicted him. Then it was suspected that Cardozo's money saved him ; now it is suspected that it would not do for some people to push him too hard, for fear he might be driven to tell how and where he applied that money. When we put that and that together it docs it look suspicious. Our Merohants Winning. A gentleman from the country said to us the other day, "I'll be blamed if I can't do better in selling cotton and buying supplies in this town than I can in Spartanburg.

A few days ago a circumstance occurred Iti hie county showing how hard it is for tho colred people to overcome the prejudice which ids been instilled into them, by unprincipled eaders, against men of their own race who have iver dared to exeroise the right of voting as is they pleased nnd supported the democratic loket. We aig credibly informed that their ninds are even now being poisoned againstitie lemocartio parly in this County, by men fornerly claiming to be democrats, but who are oeking forward to the next election with a view .0 running as independent candidates for couny offices and the Legislature. Wo warn the colored people against such men. They are false to their old political friends and will prove false to them. The circumstanco alluded to above, was the death and funeral of and old, quiet, iudustrious und much respected colored man, nnnied Tom Faucott, who died on the premises of Mr. James Sinclair, a few miles below this town. He had been a consistent democrat and was esteemed by all asagood christian man, but during his illness the republican negroes refused to visit or wait ou him, nor would they attend his funeral. But Tom did not wont for anything. He found ready and willing friends in the white la unit wa^W^aait .Sjuunuloa OVOrjT. needed comfort during his sickness, and at his funeral a large number of the most respectable portion of the white citizens of tho neighborhood follewed his remains to the grave and laid them beneath the sod in a respectable christian manner. The only objection his own rnee had to him was, he tea* a democrat. A funeral sermon on his death will be delivered next Sunday, nt Brown's Creek Church. For the Tluies. Old Rye on Old Farmer, Faoolet and Barley. Mb. Kditok.?I have been reading with considerable interest I lie diversions of "Old Farmer," "Barley and "Pacolet," and wonder what they will make out of it. The.-e is a screw loose somewhere, that is certain. There must be some reason for the death by starvation of so many Agricultural Journals ; and whether they died from tho lnck of readers or writers, is a matter of very little conseiiunnnc To inv mind, if tlicv had hail readers (hey would have had writers too. ll is not in (he power ot? an Kditor to make up a paper to give satisfaction to everybody, 1 don't care what his ability may bo. Versatility is necessary.? Views from different standpoints must be taken, different opinions advanced, bo as to bring about a collision of intellect. Unless Farmers read they will uot think much; unless they think they will not talk or write.? We don't want tine writers, rounded periods or fanciful pictures ; but we want facts ; wo want the results ef experience; or, if theories are advanced, we want them sifted to the bottom. I presume there aro about n thousand Farmers in Uuion County. How mauy of them take an Agricutural paper? How many of them are thc^ who take any paper, or who won't swear that book farming is a humbug and believe nothing they read iu any tuagnzine or napor, on farming? One of the poorest Farmers of my acquaintance told a friend of mine that he had "quit th?fSoi/XAer-t Cultivator, because lie found that the Kditor pretty much carried out his notions in farming." 1 know Farmers who will not soak their wheat in bluestone, and they have smut every year, while their neighbors who soak their wheat in bluestone never hnvc smut. It was book farming?humbug. 1 have soen Farmers work with a bad implement, doing half work witli more labor, while their neighbors over the feuce, with a good improved tool was doing better work, and saving time and muscle. Was this a "lack of intelligence?" Observation is the mother of intelligence. The mau whd Stiuts his eyes to improvement never progresses. 1 have noticed that the men who are generally picked yp by humbugs are those wiseacres who know too much to be taught, llumbuggera always avoid the houses of men who "take the pa per j." * Vatr J une Mohley, in a speech on the Libc ria Kxodus, to the colored people of Chester, aid : "You havo heard that pancakes grow upon trees ; that is not so 5 but I tell you w'iat is truo, in Liberia you can bore holes in the trees 'and get as much milk as you want, and yo i can make as much butter as you please, and you can go out witli bags and get as much good coffee as yon want for the picking. India Rubber grows wild." Upon calling for subscriptions to defray his expenses, as a commissioner to go to Liberiannd make a truthful report of the actual condition of that country and the advantages it offers to tlij colored people, lie told them that he could not go there upon less than one (housund dollars. He said he "wunted to appear well there ; ho could i)?t gt) in fiis Anntnon boots, besides, some of the first flans, gentlemen might ask him to j?in in chumpagne, uiyl he would like to return the eomplisient." "Aha!" said a worthy old darky, "dar whar dnt money's gwniu,?dat man gwine to enjoy dat m^ney heself." Another said, "1 b*Heb dar am lies tole 'bout Libery, anyhow?how you specs milk will cum from (1* trees? Umph ! June M obi ay ! I worked wid him once?he's do biggest liar I know." It appears that June made nothing out of the Chester oolored people. At Lancaster June made hit "Libery" speech, and at ifie close collected 76 cents toward that $1,000. Now, the question is, when will he start, at that rale of collecting the means. We are afraid June will nover go to a champagne party in "Libery," or get a pair of fine b>ots I# gather Coffee in. ?

"It is a poor rulo that don't work both ways," and if the Farmer#will not turn out en matte to ag-~ ^ 1 ricultural exhibitions, and if tho death of eigli^ agricultural Journals is not attributable to a want of iutelligeuce among tho agricultural class, I would likf to know what it the cause? "f>ac*otet says, ho "might say thai those eight journals caine to their death deservedly, because they failed to meet the demands of an intelligent people." And 1 might atk whoso fault was it*, if the assertion i>e true? Manifestly, the fault ef those intelligent Farmers, who always hide their light under a bushel and content themselves by finding fault with everobody else. What makes the Southern Cultivator, one of the best authorities on Southern Agriculture? n is wen pntromzcu?it is the recognised medium of exchange between all wide-awake, progressive Farmers. They read it and approve or disprove it* teaching*, with freedom and effect. But, says l'acolet, "admit the truth of Barley's nssertion, is it right to pormlt the people is to grope their way in darkneas," &c. rCertainly not. I am the last man to give up the ship.. Do all you can, in everyway ?oucfi?r ?.?.?. to stimulate improvement, to arouse th7Far$?r to a proper appreciation of his own impoeftnee to society, to the importance of his improving his intelligence, his fumiiarity with everything connected with his calling. And when I say calling, 1 do not mean to coutine him to the plow, the loom or anvil. He may find it necessary to knew something of finances, of statistics, of commerce, of statesmanship. There is no reason why he should not be a Legislator. But I do not bolieve this can be achieved by spasmodic otlbrts?by annual County Fairs, with military drills, baby shown or tnonkoy shows. It is like whipping a lazy mulo; you get for one spasmodic jerk half a dozen hangback one*. I reassert that the '.rouble at the bottom is * "luck of intelligence"?intelligence mainly up-on agricultural subjects. Our Farmers do not read,?do not keep posted upon the improve- ? ments of the day. They grumble about the scrcity of labor and will neither adopt laborsaving implements or put their own wits to work to make improvements. If the Fanners of Union County hud half the pride, or felt half the interest they should, ia their calling, they would not require the earnest appeals of thoin. defatigublo Secretary of the county Association to com* to tho Fair, or the constant drumming. f the friends of that enterprise to secure their attendance.

Watching tho Spigot and^ not Looking at tho 1 hard noticed, Mr. Editor, that amongst moat of our Farmers too little attention is paid To small matters?little economies. One rarely takes into account tho importance of looking into details. The little leaks on a farm are all lost Hight of in looking after that all-absorbing subject, the Cotton Plant. 1 was once at a friend's house?a neighboring farmer, who, in most things was a systematic and economical roan. Walking through his horse lot at feeding time, I noticed that the mules had finished, eatiag, but the troughs were full of Oats. 1 asked, is this the way you feed?? "Oh ! yes," says he. "When I hare plenty I giro plenty. The cows will get it when they come in, any how." Now, the only way to have plenty always, is to practice economy when you have an abun? dance. Intli? feeding of horses?or stock of any kind?there is as much, Almost, in regularity aa in quantity. A friend furnished mc with the following mOdo of feeding horses in Charleston, which may prove instructive to your farming readers : The Express Horses, which are always fat and sleek as moles, and do a great deal of work, have at night, 2 quarts of Oats and lo pounds of liny each.
