LETTER FROM MEMPHIS.
MEMPHIS, Feb. Is, 1862.

~ MEMPHIS, Feb. 10, 1oo2.
M. Observation-Disclosures please
find the extra received up to 4 o'clock,
containing all the telegraphic dis
patches. 1 was somewhat disap-
pointed in Memphis, thinking to ar
rive in fortified city, but it is quite
different,-not a cannon can be seen
for the protection of the city, not even
mount thrown up or dich dug
The people seem to be quite inditfer-
ent. and l can assure you after the
news arrived here, the excitement
was not even perceived, the parties
had their sugar, molasses, etc. moved
from the levee, and some merchants
shipped their goods down the river.
Companies that have been formed
during the day did not number more
than 20 or 20 men, learning to march
in place of being prepared. There is
more excitement in our little town OF
Shreveport than it created here, and
it seems strange, for Memphis could
afford to muster quite number Of
companies, Judging from the number
Of young men walking the streets.
Gov. Harris and suite, with the Ar
chives Of the State, arrived here this
morning, and it is thought that he
will convene the Legislature, there is
also Il rumor that the Militia of the
State viii be called out this week, at
least, orders issued to- that effect.
The 10Th Regiment lost all their
AMIN unition on the railroad coming,
they had everything stored on an
open car, and it caught fire some
where. Major Winans has been here
to get the same, but it could not be
found.
came here this morning in order
to proceed to Columbus, but being
disappointed on account of the troops,
had to make double quick time back;
it is believed they went to Fort Pill
low, 60 miles above here. When
Nashville was evacuated they had
such large amount of meat there
that Gen. Johnston told the surround
ing inhabitants to take all ther could
carry, so l am tsld by one who pre-
tends to know.
In my opinion it would be bette,
were the Gulf States to form Il sepa.
rate Republic, including Virginia
and South Carolina, leaving on.
kentucky and Tennessee. because
there are too many Union men,. ir
these latter States it is like making
the water of the Mississippi run U,
