LATE SOUTHERN REPORTS.
We have no southern papcrs yet, though we
are in daily expectation Of i supply. We hare
scn,e reports from hslow, which We give fer
what they are worth.
- Grenada, Mississippi, is represented IS
heiDg in 5 very crowded condition. Ordinar-
ily the town has 6, 800 oinlahitants--now, it has
= very large number from Memphis, besides
the military; and provisions are said to be
high and scarce. Board is said to b q four dol
lars per day, and poor at that Water is said to
be rrtoilcd at a dollar gallon.
- The Appeal newspaper had not been Is
sued up to Sunday. Perhaps re shalt stand !
