IRON CAIRO AND VICINITY.

A special dispatch to the ST. Louis Demo
crat from Cairo says that two Union men
reached there from New Orleans. They
left that city on the Goth OF February, and by
careful travelling were enabled to get off in
safety. Both spent the winter in New Or
leans, where the greatest excitement and dis
tress prevailed. The approaches to the city
on the South were pretty well defended On
the North the Notifications ran back to Car
rolton. The only persons in the city not reg
ularly enlisted are Jews. The city was also
full of secret Union clubs. At least 10000
persons belonged to these clubs.
The condition of things was no better at
Memphis. The Memphis appeal advocates
the burning of the city as a last resort, but
the Mayor has issued a proclamation that any
person detected in setting fire to houses
should be Immediately hung.
