A Sketch of General ForrestTin1 Atlanta Register publishes the following sketch of Geueral Forrest, written "by a person who is intimate with toiin: I have just returned from Tupelo where , I spenl^two days with Forrest. I have listened in his encampment to stones or personal adventure that transend in existing interest all that are narrated in books, and that were told in song and story, before knight errantry lost its attractiveness in the absurd pages of Don "Quixott. Let me tell you what I think j ' of Forrest?what I know of him. There "has not been boru of this revolution a more remarkable son. He is in truth the offspring of revolution. Had there been no war, Forrest would be distinguished solely for excellent good sense, his in domitable energy, and the success that t distinguished him as a planter aud trades- ' tnan. He bcgae life in the urmost poverty. He was indebted to charity for bread, and for nothing to books. When I fir?t knew him, fifteen yoars ago, he was very poor He came to j Memphis and for a time was the proprietor of a livery stable. In this business j he was not very successful. When a "fast" young gentleman ovrrtaxed his horses Forrest was strangely inclined to ; punish the costonier. He was not popu- ; lar. lie became a slave dealer. By his j truthfulness and excellent judgment as to I tbe value oi negroes, tie ucvume and.Jmrojjiif.er_nf slaves foj* the plantcrs j of the Valley of the Mississippi. Tie j grew rich apace; when the war began he i himself was one of the wealthiest whose home was in Memphis His credit with i merchants and bankers was limitless.? I ldis capital was more than half a milliou of dollars. At the beginning of the war he amused himself foa a time by running the b'oekade from Louisville to Memphis. Tie brought out from Louisville, when that city was occupied by a large Federal force, ! horses and equipments for a company of cavalry. He then undertook to raise a regiment of mounted men. This accomplished, 'he joiued Albert Sidney John- ; ?tou at 'Bowling Green, lu every en- ! counter with the enemy he was the victor. He killed 'h<* first man with a saber who ' thus lo.t his life after the war began.? : His victim was a Kentucky renegade, a j huge fell< w, who bestrode a powerful i hor.-e. Forrest pursued him a mile or ; two. The Ketituckian fmdiug escape [ impossible, turned to fight. Their sabers : clashed. The skiu from the back of the Kettteekaarr.s head was peeled off. Staggered by the blow., 'the Kentuckian eou'id J not parry the next stroke. Forrest's sabre | passed through bis body. H;is next achievement was nn-noorccd ' at -Fort. Donelson., whence lie escaped when tiie place was surrvt>d< red. lie triad ircor the battle field of F-hiloli like j smother Mars, was wounded, but only j maddened by pain which would have { consumed ft tier m-cm to the hospital.? In his conflicts with infantry and cavalry he was uniformly successful, lie next captured Miirfrcsshoro", with a garrison st-mager than his own force Then caute Fr-farm-d pursuit of Streight. When Streight had surrendered he complained to Forrest that he l Forrest ) had deceived him as to his strength Here," said , Forrest, ''areyour arms, those of your, uieta shal be returned to them; here is an open field; we can soon settle the question of valor?numbers are nothing!" Strength was silenced. In the recent fierce encounters with Smith and Grierson, at Okal ma, Forrest himself killed eight men. Two of these fell beneath lii> heavy blade. His men watch Itis battle flag. They gather around it, and will follow it into the very jaws of death. They know that Forrest himself ever fights beneath its folds.? He ioves a fight a-? other nieu do a game of cards, and says he au't keep out of One. He is constantly urged by officers, soldiers and citizens to avoid needless exposure of his person, but all in vain. The noise of.battle is flic only music ? K .? * t Via CAliCiiC of kliriL IrtliOUV ? %; o hcvo "? * Ordinarily he is mild and placable, but when maddened, lie is a very fiend iucar- i nate. He is merciles to a man whom he suspects of cowardice, and the most exacting of all commanders. He is six feet in height, perfectly proprtioned, and imbued with wonderful strength. His. eyes are blue, and have a very mild expression. his complexion shallow his hair very black, his forehead very broad, and his manner nervous. He is never still, and in social intercourse laughs much, though never boisterously. He delights in telling stories of the achievements of of bis men. He says that his are the , truest soldiers that e *er drew sabres. I was amazed, as long as I had known Forrest, to hear him say at diutier yes- : terday, in the presence of his staff and of several visitors, that if he should ever should be committed He would gladly snrrender his sword to the civil authorities, whom he would sustai against all O j mobs, however they might originate or of whatever material composed. He i wished the war to close, and said he had no ambition, no wish, beyond the independence of the South. I have stated that I had kuown Forrest | long before the war began; but I can as- j sure you I never respected him as I did ! when he gave expression to these senti- ! incuts. Let me add again that it is impossible for Forrest to play the hypocrite. \Y hen you look in his face you are always conscious that he gives utterance to the plain, unvarnished truth. % Ilis wife and son are with him. The wife, an excellent woman, unaffected in her manners, of profound religious convictions, by her excellent good sense and may virtues, has kept Forrest out of many a row In her presence he is always gentle and kind ; but now and then, even in the midst of the monotonous duties iucidcnt to idleness in the camp, be yields the mastery to his ungovernable temper. -V Anecdote of Forrest. A little incideut occureJ in the cars on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, a short time since which to my mind, did timre to illustrate the strange hold Gen. Forrest has upon the hearts and minds of the people than a coluniG of eulogy. The General was enroutc from Okalona ; to Meridian. At. Kgypt station a genteel looking man, his wife and a little blacknirJrlw fnrpd hov. about five vears J -~j, ^ of age, came on the train, and were soon j informed, by some of the passengers I that Gen. Forfest was on board. The little boy overheard the informa- j tion, and manifested the greatest excite- j ment. At the next station at which the j train was stopped the little boy enquired i lookiug around with the greatest enthus- j iasm glowing in every featuret which ; was General Forrest? His mother endeavored to quiet him, but it was no go?his curiosity was up and he coutinued his inquiries until a gentleman who was ; near pointed out the General, who was ! seated near the forward end of the ear The little boy slipped out of his scat, j walked down opposite to where the j General was seated, and looking him steadily in the face said, "Are you General Forrest?" The General with ! that, peculiar winning smile with which 1 he ever greets the young, replied, "That is my name, son; will you sit with me?" and lifted the little fellow to the seat, by his side, when, with perfect confidence that h: was safe with his tievf irquaint- J ancc, the-young boy said, "Gcrtl^'errest, j is you got auv bullets wid you?" "No, my son, " responded the General, "1 have none with me n?-w ; hut. 1 wish 1 had, I woulJ give >ou one to keep, that you might never forget what ugly things j the poor soldiers use to gain your f: eo- ' dom with " The question and answer were simple, but true .to nature. The little fellow associated Gen Forrest's name with hutlets and Gen Forrest's associated bullets j with fredom. C. W. A. ' Heroism and Cruelty A most touching instance of heroism , aud one of the most atrocious acts of crueltv. the truth of which is Vouched ; for by the most respectable authority, J occurred during the Columbian strug gle for independence. The Spanish Ocn eral, Morillo, tlje most bloodthirsty ami treacherous tool of the Spanish King, who was created Count of Carthagctiia, aud Marquis de la l'ueria, for ^services i which rather entitled liiwi to 'he dis- 1 tiuction of butcher or hangman while j sated in his tent, one day during the! campaign of Oarraceas, saw a boy be- | fore Ijiin drowned in tears. The chief demanded of him for what purpose he was there? The child replied that lie had cooic to beg tlie life of his father, then a prisoner, in Morillu's camp. '.What can you do to save your fath- : er?" asked the General. "I cat) do but little but what I can do i shall be done." Morillo seized the little feih'w's c r, ' and said, "Would jou suffer your e-r to ! be taken off to procure vour far Iter's liber- 1 f*?" . I "I certainly would,' was the uri- j daunted reply. A soldier was accordingly called and ' ordered to cut off the ear with a single ! stroke of the knife. The boy wept but i did not resist while the barbarous order j was executed. 'Would you lose your other car rather ! than fail of your purpose?" was the next question. '1 have suffered much1 hut for my father 1 can suffer still!'' was the heroic answer of the boy The other ear was taken off piecemeal without flinching on the part of the n >ble child "And now g !" exclaimed Morillo, untouch'd by his sublime courage, "the father of such a son must die." In the presence of his agonized and vainly suffering son, the patriot father was then < xecutod. Never did a life picture exhibit such truthful lights and shades in national character such deep treacherous vil!ainy-?-such lofty enthusiastic heroism. Horses Killed by Eating Corn Shoots. A bo of cavalrymen, on Friday last, let their horses into a field of young corn belonging t" Mr. E. H Walker out on 1 Pencil Tree Creek and allowed them to | fi" d upon the corn till night. lu the ! niorumg when the soldiers went to get j their horses they found eleven of them ; lyiug dead.?They thought I hat they were doing a smart tiling in getting ,,f rl,/.

With this as a basis of calculation the Washington Chronicle makes the appended estimates: To allow 000,000 of these fit for duty will be a liberal estimate. Substract, then the exempts and those who would in various ways, escape conscri,tion, at the commencement of the war, the men liable to duty would not have compri.-cd over 500,000, The losses of three years must reduce that to 300,000, which the gain of population may again bring up to 400,000; so that if now every man in the South, liable and qualified to do millitary duty, were in the field, the number would not exceed the figures last named. And if it has any such number of men in the field it has drawn out pretty nearly its last, men, and there are uo rosources for it in the future."

Some wounded prisoners who have been recently btought into Richmond by our ambulance oorps, stated that they belonged to a body nineteen hun dred and forty strong that had volunteered for the defence of Washington = city; that in two days after arriving there, they had been, in cootenipt of their engagement, sent to the front; that in one of the recent attempts to . storm our works, they had been torced .. to make the charge ; that their column J had been almost swept away by our fire j, of artillery and musketry; that of their t. whole number, but three hnndred now- g remain, and these had stampede 1 loy ^ Washington, indignan t at the treacher. which had sacrificed them.?Richr gen. g LAST NIGHT'S MAIL. \ The latest intelligence from Georgia, ^ dated near Marietta, June 27, says there is nothing interesting transpiring there. Roth armies occupy the same position s as for some days past. h Wc are yet without any late information from Richmond or Petersburg. j It is stated that of 2000 conscripts T drawn in Cincinnati, only sixteen have signified their intention to serve. Those who cannot, escape on a surgeon's certifi- J cate pay ?300 and go about their business Yankee Forebodings. ; Some of the Yankee papers, of differe tit. shades of "loyalty," seem to he t apprchi-usive of the failure of their J armies, and thereupon they are in dis- < tress. "It Seems lo\ us easier," Says the , New York World, "to state reasons for j fearing that the country is op the verge | of a terrible catastrophe, than for believing that (lie hour of its redemption drawetb nigh. If Gen. Grant's campaign should result in disaster, who ?loes not sec that the country would he j at otice overtaken by a financial tor nado, prostrating everything in its' path?" ' i The Springfield Republican, a Gover- j ment paper, makes, if possible a mon-j1 gloomy record. It says: "Things Legin to lo< k stjually. A Government do'lar is worth 651 cents; 'speculation is running up the prices of i the necessaries of life even faster than | 1 the Government paper runs down; th? i wealth of the country is pusing from ! , the many to the f< w, and the laboring i ' clashes are becoming dispirited ami sill ! Ion. The nation is spoken of as "passing j 1 t hrough terrible struggles." The New York Times, organ of 31 r. \ t Seward, and advocate of the re-election , < of Mr. Lincoln, storms at Congress, and r asks if the state of the country is caused ' i by thgir "imbecility or treachery." I < The New York Journal of Commerce says: < " Ruin is before us as a people, a , nation, a Union, if we go on under pre- t sent guidance, with the principles , which now at this time prevail in the , halls of Congress and the President's . house. All the promises and prnphc- s cies of tho men who lead the radical :, party are hut a repetition! of just what j , i" . .. :. i i _i t . ' SUCH men promised aim pui upuccicu for other nations atnJ other times, und ! ' the end always was, as it will be now, destruction. "It is useless to speculate on what a few weeks may decide?the results of the campaign in Virginia?hut it may . lie doubted if any possible success of Gen. Grant can save the North from re- < pudiatioii, bankruptcy and ruin." These ( pinions were uttcd after Grant had tried the mettle of our Virginia army. We suppose that they ! are not now mere easy on the "anxious seat." I State of South Carolina, 1 KERSHAW DISTRICT. By i*hk.mission ok a. i,.
