Letter from Gen. Forrest, We find the following letter from Gen. Forrest, addressed to''his late comrades, in the Memphis Avalanche: NASHVEUCE, May 16, 1868, Editora Avalanche.-GENTI/B&IEN: An influence, is at work in this State, as I discovered since my recent de? parture from Memphis, td preclude any participation by the late Confe? derate soldiers in the coming conven? tion of the Democracy of Tennessee, to be held at Nashville On the 9 th of Juno, and in. the National Democratic Convention, to be held at New York ontho4thof July. It does not amonut to a purpose to arbitrarily do this thing; but is felt in effort? to induce every one who took any part in the recent struggle of tho Confederacy for the inde? pendence to deoline attending to these assemblies upon pretended grounds of expediency, and submit tho representation of Tennessee at New York to men who were known to be for the Union. Upon consultation with many of my late associates in the war, I have concluded to advise against any further political emasculation of our? selves in the party movements of the State. We are already proscribed in .the Constitution and statutes which mow govern the State, againt our ?consent, the proscription of which have, through the mendacious hos? tility of our legislative enemies, been added to timo and again, until now we barely live under the accumu? lated weight of disfranchisement and oppression. Shall we super-add, by our own action, to those proscrip? tions and exorcisms of ourselves from all participation in the assemblies of the State and National Democracy, and publish to the world a confession that we are too unworthy to intrude ourselves into the councils of tho party? The National Democratic party, through its committee, have invited us to take part in tho Con? vention whioh is to assemble at Now York on the ?th of July. It pro? scribes no test oaths, no qualifications dependent upon the part we have taken in the late war, but, like a true Constitutional party.it opens its doors and invites all who may choose to come, without reference to the past. To suggest then an answer to so catholic an invitation, that we who are the true representatives of the greater portion of the constitutional men of the State feel ourselves un? worthy to soil the deliberations of that Convention with our presence, would exhibit ns in an attitude of servile degradation, that I trust we have not reached as yet. In this view of the case then it is my advice (given from a senso of duty, and against a reluctance which is averse to any personal display of myself in a matter of this kind) to all my com-, rades to participate in the county meetings, and to send up full dele? gates to Nashville on the 9th of June, composed of good and true men, without reference to the divisions which were made by the war. The only hope of a restoration of a good Government in thi3 country is in tho success of the National De? mocracy in the next Presidential campaign. I trust my late comrades will not, from expediency or other motives, absent themselves from a participation in the political exer? cises which are to result in the choice of standard bearers, mado with a view to so patriotic and de? sirable an end. So far as I am per? sonally concerned, I have no desire to take any part in politics, nor to occupy any political position what? ever; but I do not wish to seo my State represented by men whose only claim to public favor is the dexterity with which they took either side of the question in the late war, as inte? rest dictated, and who bank upon it as their oulv capital for popular sup? port. N. B. F?HREST. REVIVAL OF TRADE IN THE SOUTH THE GRAIN TI?ADS OF TUE WEST. Ouo substantial and gratifying evi? dence of the revival of busiuess in tho South, is tho construction of new and costly steamships to do thc carrying trade between tho port of New York and Southern points. Another important evidence lies in the building of new lines of railroads and tho extension and better equip? ment of tho old ones. While theso testimonials of reviving prosperity are observed.it is natural that tho commercial men of tho different cities which are likely- to bo bouefit ted by the return of better times to to tho South should exert themselves to attract towards their several centres tho profitable results that will flow therefrom. This is not only the fact in regard to tho cotton trade of the South, but it is likewise so with the grain trade of tho West, tho competition for tho demand of 1 tho latter increasing every year. It may not seem necessary that thc merchants of Now York should bo incited to renewed energy and exer? tion to maintain their accustomed supremacy over these great elements of commercial prosperity, bnt, with the notorious efforts of rival cities to divert from this mart the bulk of the trades wo refer to, it is tho part of wisdom for our commercial men to look a little ahead, and by early at? tention to the subject, prevent what jnay eventually provo a serious injury to their business.-New York Herald.
