Yesterday was quite lively. All reports
about Fort Pillow were listened to With inter
est, and they were not i lew. BY noon, it
became generally known that this fort had
been eyacua.ed, and there Was not little ex-
cltement in consequence. Nearly all the
stores were closed, and those that were open,
with lew exceptions, we're rather indlsposed
to sell. Besides the soldiers rom Fort Pill
low, fleet made us visit which attrlcted
much attention and formed the subject Of
general observation. AL seemed to regret
what had been done, and wished it had been
ment th:t the common mode Of salutatlon on
Main street was, "Nlcn do you think the
Ftderals Will be here ~ And each oae made
their arran2 enients according to the tenor Of
the reply. Many persons were packing up to
leave, and all seemed quite as much CON
eesntd as Webster was 70 know where to go.
In q word, I'LL who could, began to consider
anxiously the question whether to go Or stay.
There was much running about on the streets,
and evidently more or less Excitement on
every countenauce- Some took matters
coo]r, and still believe the Federals will

moved. The city was rife with reports OF
shooting scr3pes, but it would do no good to
report them in detail.
- There were a large number Of soldiers, from

a "srree" for mnny days. and it is not sur
prising that they ayaiied themselves Of tue first
/ opportunity which was presented They have
priety while in liquor. Indeed, so boistcrouz
were they that The commandant Of the post
! had to call ont the home guard battalion ir
order to suppress the disorder and to arrest al
struggling soldiers and take them to thcil
commands. Among the home guard ordered
