printers were obig, d to send 10 Cincinnati to get
it engraved.
The Acdianche and other Secession prints insist
that no Justification exists Is feared among the
slaves; but this is ialoehood. TIE words 81
John Randolph have become literally true; No
mother hears the alaIm-hell at night without

trembling NJ the ibonght of n slave insurrertion.
LEGENDARY fires have been frequent in Memphis
of late, and my Trend says: When tbs fire.
bells ring, every woman i'll the city is terrified,
aud fears that the negroes are rising. With the
departure Of every company Of soldiers, Tie ieeI-
ing OF insecurity is increased Reports oi lnsur-
rections from various parts OF the interior are
rife, though they ore suppressed % far az possi'

The reign of terror Is complete not Only III
Memphis. but Throughout Western tennessee
The Hon. Emerson Elherdge, who commenced
stunning his district, has been silenced by ihe
threats against his life. Mr.. Nelson, N. G., and
the Gallant Audy johnson are still lighting Seces'
sion vigorously in the Ea,t, and that port Oh OF
the State Will poll leayy Union vote at the
June election.
The military display continues. few com
panes are leaving Tor Virginia, but tl'e most OF
the troops from Northern Alabama, Mississippi,

erected there, commanding the rivers about

considerable number OF lighter gus. 1t is sup
posed by the masses that they Will attack and
capture Cairo within few days; but they are
not likely to make the attempt until better pre-

scourincs Of society, but those now concensrat

men, who, my friend th'uks, will fight des-
perately and impetuously. Tie nbeiS hare al

The people are still confident that Washington
will soon be captured; and entertain the univer-

unauimty aud determinat On OF the North false
hoods to deceive the South; believe tbat tue
Northern poor are al on the verge OF starvation,
and that mObs will soon run not IN Ne"-ioTk'
Those who accredit the reported enthusiasm oi
the Free States fancy that 1t VIII soon die out
and that in the ensuing reyulsiOD the Northern
friends of the South will rally TO their rescue.
The steamer -. ID. Perry" by whi;h my

ter they had left he made bis appearance, and
went through safely To Cairo.
A man, 50 years of age, named Daniel Hoard,

him guilty of tampering with slaves, on the tesli'
