Tho ai OF Me mphis Of the hottest Of all the hot
Doos OF sccess has produced many anomalies in tho
history OF u rebellion. New Orleans has been for
oehind Menu his in the violence Of its while the
CoHfcderate dag waved over the two cities; yet
sne former 4 as its capture, was turbulent and
unruly, Ails the latter submitted with seem
Ing grac .. While many expected to it laid
ia ruins, Memphis has lost not single edi1ce,
save re at the Navy Yard, or public nature. While
AL iook ID for serious outbreak whenever should
tempt land, even after the city had fallen,
weco ned by many the river banks, and moorng
lines we're fastened by the willing hands OF Memphian
pleb siane While the city had for months been under
mar <ial law, the Union commander has not
ysts placed It In similar control, and there il
W Asibity that no necessity may arise for complete
rAary rule. Turbulent spirits restrained without
Che exercise Of force perceive rather than feel that
abe authority of the federal government rcstorsl
Order.has sprung out Of chaos, and Memphis will soon
assume her pristine strength and vigor All this is duo
power and success Of the arms OF the best ro
vcrumsnt upon earth.n

Memphis, is constantly crowded with persons wish.

some Of the socalsd Unionists Of Memphis wish TO
striko out shs clause which declares the authority
or the United States paramount OF any individual
State, and whe assuring that they friends
the Union with vshsmence that the authority of
the State Of Tennessee cannot be svsrued by anything
that may smanate from Washington. This is pre-
csely the ground on which Tennessee was log rolled
sut Of tho Union, and IL is strange that loyal ci
zsns should be found TO support 1t. The far
tier south ws 60 the warmer find the adyo
caey Of State rights, and rarely do we hear il
from any hut the friends Of secession. The Memphis
leaders havs so loudly and psrsistenty preached thsw
hsnsay thatyen the few remaining friends OF the Union
have.bscome strongly impregnatsd with 1t.
