The Impression Made Upon Ben Wade.--The Memphis Bulletin, of the 10th inst, says: Senator Wade said to a Mississippi Judge, a resident of Oxford, we believe, that he had wholly misconceived the spirit and purposes of the South. He had deemed us animated by fixed, irremediable hostility to Northern people, and by this apprehension of Southern sentiment his course in the Senate has been shaped. He had seen and heard enough during his sojourn in these States to satisfy him that he had been misinformed, and that his subsequent conduct would show that he had the manliness to confess an error. Such is the substance of his remarks, as recited to us.
