The Memphis Avalanch of the 26th had
been received. 1t contains little of interest
further than q confirmation Of the fall OF
New Orleans. The paper complains that
the rebel Government suppresses the details
regarding the affair, and says that nothing
but the bare fact Of the surrender was
known. 1t also states that the Southern
people are fast losing all confidence in their
river defences, and says that it is generally
admitted that tho Federal army can no lon.
ger be successfully opposed. l. ~insinuates
