TIE REBEL DEsPERADoEs-MoR CoTToN
BURSING.-The adjoining country is yet in
tested with those infamous bands Of prowling,
outrageous, VIGOROUSLY vile and desperate
characters, the very thoughts of whose savage,
villainous acts and diabolical proceedings bring
a scowl Of Indignation to the brow. We are
informed that the day before yesterdays squad
of rebel cavalry attacked a citizen naned
Moore, on the Holly Springs road, about six
miles from the city, near |. b. Holmes plan
tation. Mr.. Moore lives in that vicinity, and
was coming to the city with load of cetton.
when the internal rebels came upon him. They
burnt the cotton on the spot, took Mr.. Moore
and his team with them and, probably, ere
this, the poor man has been executed by
the accursed villains. The neighborhood in
which this hellish transaction occurred is a
hot-bed of Secessionism, where the Confederate
outlaws are harbored snd protected, encouraged
and aided in this work of devastation and
ruin. The few good citizens who reside in
that rebellious region live in fear and peril,
not knowing what unfortunate moment the
desperaioes may fall upon them with their
atrocious designs. Let the country be ran
sacked, and the rebel sympathizers arrested, for
they are as deep in guilt as the actual perpe-
traitors.

CoMMUNIcATED.-Some one signing him
self "Laborer," who has been citizen of
Memphis ten years, and who is now soldier
Ia the United States service" sends US COM
munication, in which he complains of GER
tain offcisl If men have been placed in
public position BY corporate appointment,
or by the free sutfrages of the people who
are unworthy of their place. let the voters of
their wards remember, that through the ballot
box, they ultimately have their remedy. Time,
patience, and active organization of patriotic
men, and vigilant working, will remedy the
evil. Use these wisely and all is well.

PosT OFFIcE.-It is gratifying to know
that the city Post Office is doing an excellent
business. The energetic Post Master, Mr..
Buttles is doing most admirable work, both
for the city and the Government He is 3
willing and cordial worker. His Clerks, too,
are kept busy as nailors from morning till
night Yesterday heavy mail of near twenty
thousand letteas came up the river from the
command Of Gen. Curtis, and some i've or six
thousand bound for Cairo. 1t has been sug-
gested, that it might greatly facilitate mat
ters at the Office if . larger number Of Clerks
were appointed.

SELLING NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

SELLING WHrsKY.-Notwithstan the
military orders against the selling of intoxi-s
eating liquors, there are liquor-venders in the
city, dealing out the intoxicating fluid, as is
evidenced by the Keeling of soldiers in the
streets. Chas. Lawler and ID. j. Sullivan, for
this otfense, were arraigned in the Police
Court yesterday morning. 1t appeared that
the former was the proprietor of the house,
and in accordance with plain violation of an
ordinance respecting the sale of liquors, he
was fined $25, while the latter was mucted to
the tune of $40 for vending the liquor. Not
having the wherewith to settle their accounts
with the Court, they were sent to the Provost
Marshal, there being no prison for such, as
the calaboose was burnt by the Secessionists
Of Memphis.

THE WEEK.-The week has been one of
most varying excitements with the people of
this city. The order of General Hovey, and
those of General Sherman, have caused de-
velopment of Union feeling not expected by
many, and effected clearance of the rebel
sentiment in our midst to a very great extent.
The number of persons who have taken the
oath of allegiance has been great far greater
than was anticipated and We may now write
with truth that Memphis is principally peo-
pied with loyal persons. Business was more
than fair, taking the season of the year into
consideration, aud if We excepta few misdeeds
of some soldiers, order and quiet have been
unbroken.
We believe it to be high time that the
Chamber of Commerce was re-opened, and
we are satisfied that the records of the present
would not show i'll in comparison with those
of last year at this season.
