LATE SOUTHERN NEWS,

LA1 3 SOUTHERN NEWS.
We have copy Of the Memphis .4raZa,sche
Of Wednesday, the Sd ult, the mora import
mt items Of news in which were telegraphed
dom Cairo on Monday. The Aralancae Il
printed on dingy brown paper, and only half
sheet at that; and its editor complains Of
Lack Of mails and kilograms from the interrup-
tlon at Huntsville and elsewhere. It saysalso
of the "suryeillance Of the press:"-
1t has been deemed necessary to impose up
on the press of this city a restriction that 1t
publish nothiug that could furnish thu least
information as to the movements Of our army,
or Of the enc1ny. It was deemed Important
that the arrival Of Gen. Price should not be
and that no allusion should be
made TO the advance to this point Of his COM
mand. We took occasion to show theabsurd-
ityI Of tlis, in the fact that the enemy was ap-
conceived, much less effected. On the I'd inst.
tho Il. I. Herald Published that such move
Hcnt xas Being made, showing conclu=iyely
that our operations arc watched with the ut
most vigilance, and that the information ac-
quired BY llc ene1ny Is not derived from the
newspapers,
We publish the following from the corre=-
rordence Of the New Orleans De2ta, to satisfy
TIE authorities that their Surveillance over the
press Of this city is utterly abortiyc. The
ostrich tila1 hides its head in the saud, aud
farcies itself concealed from the hunters, is
not more deceived than arc those who futter
the free expression Of the press here, with
the thousand channels of private communi-
cation.
