From the Memphis Appeal of Saturday we ex-
tract the following important intelligence

Nashville advises us that Gov Harris in obedieaes
to Cen. Johnstons requisition, has called ont she
reserve of thirty thousand traxes from this State,
for the raising Of which the - Stature made pro.

GES. HARDEE's CoMMAsD.-We learn that a nor. Or.
ton of Cen Hardee's command heretofore sta
toned above Poeahontas, Ark, has been moved
over to Point Pleasant, Mo-, place twelve miles
below New Madrid, on the west bank Of the Mis-
aissippi river The balance of his forces with the
General himself, were to have arrived at the same
point yesterday, his purpose, is understood, be-
ing to cooperate with Gen. Johnston's army in
Kentucky. l
The recent series of brilliant successes that have
attended our arms in Missouri resulting in driving
the enemy up towards ST. Louis IS no doubt the
cause of this move, Pocahotas being no longer Q
position of any great strategic importance.
The intelligence that the Confederate troops
were advancing on the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad caused considerable excitement in Louis
vile, and the following proclamation from the. Mi
lits General commanding was the result of the
scare:
FeRoee- Gatzens-I call you to arms for the de-
fence of your city The engine bells will be tapped
at O'Clock to call the people of each ward to the
