FROM MEMPHIS.

Col. Stack, Of the 47th Indiana, arrived this
morning and assumed command OF the city.
The city remains unusually quiet and orderly,
and business is slowly reYiTing.
Thus far the amount OF rebel property seized
amounts to only about $4,000.
Capt. III. W Dill Of the Provost Guard, esti-
mates the value Of the cotton, sugar, &c, con-
eealed for shipping, to be about $4,000 worth.
This is rapidly finding its way to the levee.
The absentees have been oYeresnmated, Many
VINO ran at hrst have returned, while those who
leave on upward bound boats are mostly mem
bers Of sundered families. The Mayor and City
Council are Of Union proelivties, as a general
thing, and exercise their functions in harmony
with the military rule. Their continued good
conduct is a renewed assurance Of this. There
are only two or three places in the city where
either Confederate scrip or postOfice STAN ps are
worth anything The most prominent rebel
sympathizers viii not take the scrip
An arrival here direct from Madison, Arkansas,
brings information that Gen. Curtis had not yet
reached Little Rock, but was approaching It
from Searcy. He would meet with no opposi-
ton.
Mr.. Markiand, agent for the Postofiee Depart-
ment, opened the city office to-day, and an agent
Of the Treasury Department is on his way to re-
open the Federal Custom House
There have been about thirty applications for
the office Of Postmaster from prominent citizens
Of Memphis.
There is as yet but one national flag floating
from private residence, and that is nom the
house OfAIr. Gage.
There is but little activity in shipping, al
though few dray loads Of cotton have been
hauled down to the leYee this morning, some
500 bales Of which are being concealed in ware
houses.
The Avalanche, in an article on ssBelHger-
EMS" admits that the South has defended the
use Of PTiyateers and guertllas, and charges the
North with So the commission Of cri ( Ees at which
human nature, in its widest oaroxysms Of pas
sion, feels itself hOrrihed." L claims that le-
gitimate beliigerents should settle questions Of
war, leaTiny peaceful civilians to the enjoyment
Of their rights, and observes that these views
are acknowledged by the federals here, and
thinks that this course will win gradually upon
the Southern people.
The Argus INDUCES in a series of rabid and
vindietiTe articles, and should be suppressed at
once.
The Avalanche says about IS rebel officers and
soldiers have thus far surrendered themselves
to Col Fitch.
The Z. 8. Navy Yard and buildings have been
taken possession Of by Flag Officer Davis, and
will be occupied as the headquarters Of his
fleet.
The buildings are in good preservation. The
steamer J. D. Perry arrived here this morning.
havingOn board the 4Tth Indiana, Col. Slack, and
Nolens cavalry. Col. Slack being the senior
officer supercedes Col. Fitch in command Of this
post. There is no evidence that the feet viii
start down the river for several days. The Mem
phis-G Grenada Appeal Of the 10th says that mis-
apprehension prevails IN regard to the Partizan
Rangers. They are called into service by the
Confederate Congress, and are designed 20 act
beyond the lines Of an army as independent
lighters, to be provided like ordinary soldiers
and to have all they capture, yet the Appeal -
sists that they are not guerrillas, and hopes
Eonng men VIII not fear to enlist. It says that
# the Federals treat them as pirates, President
Davis viii interfere to protect them. The
Appeal states the facts about the occupation
tOlerably hirlyl admitting that Colonel Fitch
is pursuing system Of liberal public policy
yet INDUCES in vindictiYe comments.
Mr.. MbGallOway, late Post Master Of Mem
Phis, answers that he has removed the office
to Grenada.

Of Gen: Beauregard, denouncing the officers Of
Col. j.. L. SCOTS Louisiana Cavalry for rebellion
