ON iii MEMPHIS AND ONO RAILROAD.-The
Confederate cavalry securing the country north
OF this city, on and near the line Of the Mem
phis and Ohio railroad, have, within the past
few days, we learn, destroyed several lots of cot
ton collected on plantations and designed for
sale in this city. Yesterday TIRES negro boys,
with drays loaded with cotton, while between
Union depot and Hickory Withe, on their way
to the city, were OYertaken by a squad Of Con
federate cavalry. The negroes, mules, drays,
aud cotton were 'confscated"-tbe drsys burn
ed and the negroes and mules taken along. The
negroes and cams were owned in this city-ene
of the captured boys, 3 likely negro, and his
team, being the property of Capt Dick Tucker,
Of the night police, another belongs to Il. B.
Joiner. Esq, and the other is a negro well
known in the city, named Foster, formerly the
property Of S j. williamson, Esq. No doubt
more cotton aud drays have met with the same
fate in that portion Of the country, but the
above is the only affair Of the kind that has
reached us.-MsnPhis Argus.
