 out word of explanation. tn laestiay l last they weu4 to tic house of MT. Daria, Heald. during his absence, searched hie house. committed many acts of gross and petty depreciation npon his property (all ot which can easily bs pafticulsrized and prov cd, if occasion require By their threats they so Heightened one female that she was immediately taken to bed and within q few hours after became the mother of a still born child. They falsely charged hir, Heald with being the Captain ofa seces- sion com pany and declared that they would search the country until they found him, accompanied with wholesale threats of ex- treme punishment when they should find him. They environed his house and he was compelled to lodge in the woods both night and day.
 Let no one think that Darius Heald is a coward because he fled from Lineoln's hirelings. A more courageous man and one quicker upon the sights of the rifle walks not upon the earth. But next to that of his home he loves the freedom of his native woods, and declares he will en- joy it at the risk of his life. To be arrest ed as @ criminal, dragged to St. Louis, thrown into prison on an unfounled charge of treason or any other charge, or be com pelled to give bond to appear and answer to such charge, is much more than he has any idea of allowing.

was derived from the following simple inei5eat:

received the amount of his demand. This rise
in stocks was reported to the Yankee, e0nelave,
wheFeupon the question WIS raised whether L was
right for the msn Jew the boy or the boy TO Jew
the man. The discussion thus commenced in the
social circle was carried iatO the debating society,
and after the usual ProS and cons it was finally de-

Correspondence Of the Memphis Avnlanche

SYKEsToN No, Aug 90 This morning the Missis-
sppi Cavalry who have hitherto been with Us, left
for Ne W Madrid we tnd1 rstand that they are to
be replaced in part by the ninety day" troops from
farm, near Benton, whence we came on yesterday,
and the body guard of Gen. Pillow assumes the
position and duties hitherto discharged by Major
MIXERS battalion, they will begin ito appreoiatethe
delights of life in camp. The company commanded
by Capt Mcdonald is surely as finea body of men
and as perfectly equipped as any 10 the service In
their scouting expeditions they have evinced great
spirit and now are sold thstna broader field Of
enterprise and action waits them. pa
1t Is rumored lhrough the camp that we will be
ordered back to camp Watkins to morrow. Why
all this marching and coauter marching am unad.5
vised We have ascertaned that the enemy have
occupied Benton, where Gen Thompson was ems
camped day before yesterday. They advance when.
we fail back, and will retreat egsis when we re.
turn to our former position. We have abandoned
the hope Of having fair fight in this vicinity That
we y, III be assaled On the line of. our march in
some of the vast swamps through which We must
pass, there can be but little doubt. Our immunity
from such assaults and from ambuscades is to be
ascribed solely to Gen. JEFF Thompson and his Mis-
souri, scouts, who precede on the line of march,
and penetrate the swsmPs in every direction. At
present Gen. Thompson lis within seven or eight
miles ofus on the road leading to our former en-
campment. Its said that our movements have
been governed by those of Gen. Hardee who is now
fifty or sixty miles Northwest of us thus, at least
our recent movements have been accounted for,
Ifthis be true when we move. to morrow it will be
for the purpose of forming junction with him.
The road over which we are to march lies in a
fat country crossing long causeways and penetrat-
log intermnsble swamps. Another Lodi might be
found at numberless points between this place and
towards which we now contemplate taking up the
line of march, The number of our enemies and
their bOldness is certainly increasing at the mouth
