EDITOR APPEkL: Please give me small
space in your valusble paper, 20 make known
to the military authorities Of Memphis the
desperate situation of the Union men in the
vicinity of Mound City, Crittenden county,
Arkansas. +
Those who have taken the oath of allegi-
ance and remsia at their homes are abused,
and have their property destroyed and taken
away from them at the pleasure Of tie Con-
federats gaerrillas, and only save .aslr I've
by begging, and telling they were eo,spsl, q
to take the oath in order to get sway from
Memphis.
Capt. Cheek refused TO make any eonce-
sions whatever, and bid the gusrrillas dehanqe.
They burned his ferry beat Aid, which csst
him three thousand dollars a few months ago,
and came very near taking his life before he
got away on his other boat, Mark Z. Cheek,
which they designed to take and burn also. He
and his boat were only about Eve minutes TOO
fast for them. They have driven him from
his home and possessions, which are the bet
and most valuable in that part Of Arkansas,
to say the least.
The guerrillas dread and fear Cheek, because
they know they have given him just cause to
do all he can against them. They know his
skill acquaintance aud indomitable persever-
ance, and they dread him ten times more than
a general il the U. S. army.
As sosn as the Federals find out the ad-
yantages Of Cheeks place as a safeguard to
Memphis, and the key of entrance from Ark
ansas, Missouri and Texas, and that it is the
only place entirely above overflow, and also a
deep, good channel in extreme low water, I
hope they viii examine it soon, as they viii be
certain to locate gunboat there, and regi-
nent Of troops short distance out, which will
be in better position to aid in repeling any
attack on Memphis, and would completely
protect us.
Capt. Cheek bSs been more prosecuted than
any man living in this region, Oh account o.
his having taken the oath of allegiance. The
false charge against him of having been con-
cerned in hanging man at Mound City was
trumped up because he avowed his preference
for the Union. Every man, woman and child
thst knew anything about it knew Cheek tried
his utmost TO prevent the hanging.

The Latest Intervention Canards.

If any reliance is to be placed in the rpmors
which have for some days been aaoat in Paris,
and in Brussels negotiations have already
taken place between the GaTernments of Rus
sia, England and France, with reference to
mediation between the American belligerents
The project is understood TO have been pressed
upon our Government by the French Emperor
with great earnestness, and, it Il asserted, with
so much success, that special envoy is on his
way to Washington with instructions for Lord
Lyons Whatever truth there may be IN this
rnEior, one thing is certain, that the idea of
the propriety, and even of the necessity, of
mediation by the European powers has taken
possession of the mind of the French Emperor,
and the probability is, that if Francois not
joined by this country in the matter, France
will act alone, or in conjunction with Russia.
The sufferings of the French operatives, 81
though not to be compared, for extent or in
tensity, with that which is endured by our
people in La-cashiIe and elsewhere, is, never
theless very severe; and the defangement Of
the French trade, resulting from the blockade
of the Southern ports, is very great. The gem
eral impression seems to be that the forbearance
of the French Government has reached its
limits, and that some action on the part of
France alone, or in concert with this country,
and possibly with Russia, is imminent,

QuiTE number Of rebel sympathizers have

Among the number, we Understand were DIT.
Wm. Ely, Ren Morris, John Markley, and

viii be made. Several of the citizens in the

arrested.

In the last table allowance is made for some
of the States who furnished more than their
quota under previous calls for troops, from
which it is seen that the government has not
called for quite 100000 men. The figures,
though not claiming tc be perfectly accurate,
are more nearly so than any statement Of the
kind which mas appeared in print. They are
taken from the New York Sunday NercatTy.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. l0.-The late or.
der from the President to employ negroes of
rebels as teamsters and laborers generally, is
being enforced much more fully in this de-
partment than the friends of the government
have had any reason TO hope, from the past
conduct of Gen. Buell. on the negro question
If that general had not the moral courage to
go in advance of the sentiment of tho N orth,
he has not Jagged much behind, and despite
the late peevish and pettish order condemning
captain for employing slaves to build stock
ades, Gen. Buell. has followed the order Of tho
President literally and fully. Negroes do the
heavy work of this department at this time.
About one thousand five hundred are at
work fortifying Huntsville, along the line of
the Tennessee and Alabama railroad at least
1000 are engaged in building stoekade forts
for the protection of our men from cavalry.
General johnson employs large number in
various ways at Pulaski. General Negley ut
Columbia, has two trains Of wagons driven by
the contrabands, who present frontispieces
radiant with JOY and ivory. On the Nash
vile and Chattanooga road there are from
1000 to 5000, and the force is being daily in
creased. Gen. Buell. has determined to fortify
this city SO strongly as to admit Of its being
defended By small force, and his engineer,
Capt. Gilbert, of Springfield (Missour) re.
nown, has already submitted his plans. For
the purpose of building these works 1000
slaves of rebel shareholders are to he employed
and the following order has KIN hun0rously
circulated among the sympatEizers near this
