a gentleman who left Memphis, Saturday, and

is no trouble at Memphis. Many persons were
leaving the city. Cotton, molasses, sugar,

the increasing decentralization, and to excite IL
war spirit
Cen Bragg had come up from Pensacola,
with ten thousand men. These were sent to
reinforce New Madrid and Island No. 10.
Martial law had been proclaimed in Memphis
last Monday, for the purpose of checking in
subordinaton, aud to compel the citizens to
turn out and fight. No defensive preparations
were being made between Memphis and New
Orleans.
Forts Randolph and Pillow are strong posi-
tons, but less formidable than Columbus. The
rebels confess that the reduction Of these two
places will give us all the points OH the Mis-
sissippi. Their guuboats are all at Island No,
10, and carry rided "a aud 80 Founders. Bragg
and Beauregard were at Jackson, Tenn, con
structing Notifications, and all slaves in the
