MEMPHIS, Tenn, July IL.
1t is difficult to estimate the 1orce
which the rigid conseription all over
the South will bring into the field
AGAINST us. From all the accounts, 1t is
being enforced without respect to per-
sons. Every man between the ages OF
seventeen and thirty three is compelled
to take up arms and go into the field
Hundreds Of refugees from Arkansas
tell the same story. Many OF them
have lain in the woods for weeks to es-
cape from it, while others have taken to
canoes and padded down the stream,
inioht after night, to meet our boats
There seems but shadow OF a chance
that a man in Arkansas can escape,
The majority Of them enter the ranks
with negative acquiescence, but once
in make as good soldiers as anybody:
The remainder, who are deadly opposed
to it. either run away and escape or are
caught and hung.
j If is stated in rebel circles that when
the conscription was resolved upon, the
rebel Secretary of War caused the
Sheriffs of every county in the secedeo
States to make a return OF the numDei
~ men between the above mentioned
oaes fit to bear arms. The total re

sEThe success in cultivating cotton
and tobacco in Southern Illinois, this
season, equals anticipation. The cotton
fields look we'll, and some persons estl-
mate the crop will yield as high as 20
600 bales. 1t would have been much
LARGER than that even could seed have
been procured at the planting season
The cotton lands of Southern Illinois
are not much behind those of Mlssls-
sippi or Tennessee, and should the crop
turn out we'll this fall, it is thought the
crop of 1862 may come up to loo,ooO
bales.

Mr.. EDITOR 81 cannot understand why
the loyal men of our border counties will
not arouse to sense of the danger that is
menacing them Our sister State Kentucky,
is overrun with wandering bands of out
lawed men, who are numbering and robbing
Unionists, and who have avowed their in.
tention to show no quarter to any person
who is at war with the so-called Southern
Confederacy. Now hold that all loyal men
are at war with the traitorous knaves, con-
sequently all loyal men are threatened with
this vengeance. / for one have no conf
dence in the honesty, integrity, or loyalty
of that man, who, to save his property, will
declare that he is not now, nor has not been
at war with them. Shame upon such era

living under the protection of the Govern
ment, enjoying all the privileges of a true
patriot, and at the same time coyertly seek

dangerous than open enemies" and it be-
hooves to watch closely those timid gentle
men who are over sensitive about wound
ing the feelings of avowed rebels. No fell
lowship with traitors, is my motto, and l
will live up to it, though by so doing l

on earth This is no time for half way mea-

He that is not for us is against u.s." is an
old and true saying. There is no doubt a
secret organization in this State playing
into the hands of the enemy-none but those
who are wilfully blind will deny so plain
fact. The raid upon this place. was planned
and brought about by the influence of home
traitors, some OF whom are lodged in Jail
