SECOND DISPATCH:
CA1no June 12-10 p. m,
The steamer DeSoto has just arrived with
the following dispatch from our correspondent:
MEMPHIS, Jane lis i. N.
The city is still quiet, and peaceable citizsns
begin to fear abuse from Fedc:als less and
less. The Federals thus far have behaved re-
well. Rumor5 ofthe presence within
Elk or seycn miles to the eastward Of the
Forrest cavalry and the known proximity of
jeff Thompson, with troops from Fort Pillow,
and at fernando, Mississippi, only twenty-five
E'iles south Of here, on the Mississippi and
Tennessee Railroad, are enough to keep the
people here in 4 state Of nervous suspense.
They fear the sudden entrance into their
midst Of these men, knowing that their ut
most desire would be to themselves to set Gre
to the city, or compel Commander Davis to
shell it, to drive them out. There are no
pickets extended to the cast or south, from
Memphis, at present. When our additional
forces shall arrive, their fears will be quickly
quicted~ Men can then be spared for picket
and scouting duty.
a man who came from fernando last eycn-
ing, reports large force Of Confederates at
that point 1t is not doubted, but the story
as to cavalry is not believed Troops are also
concentrated at Grenada, where 50 many citi-
zens have fed, and it is more than probable
that the force at the former place is merely an
advance guald Of the latter. Granada will
prove rich prize when our forces choose to
take it, provided the property there stored is
not previously run off further into the in
trrior.
Il report is prevalent here that Vicksbnrg
has been burned to the ground by the Confed-
crates. It WAS first deserted by the military
and nearly all citizens, when the roughs re-
manning applied tic torch, to prevent its fall
ing into the hands Of the Fcdcro1s.
The story is not confirmed, but shade Of
truth is given 10 it by statements Of citizens
in Memphis that such c thing WAS to be ex-
pccted, only an excuse was needed for its &C
complshment.
The Aru'anehe Of this morning has an article
upon union meeting, stating that such meet
ings have been held at Columbia and Muir
fteesboro, in Tenn, Norfolk county, and Cat
aract county, North Carolina. The two first
named we're large and enthusiastic. It re-
marks upon Ex-GoY. Neil Browns speech at
Columbia, and that Of Andrew johnson at
Muffreesboro, aud calls them effective and
strong union appeals. It adds that facts and
arguments are proper appliances to accom-
plish any result with southern miads, when
force and coercion will only provoke resist
ance. Men cannot love and embrace GOV.
ernment that deals in prosecutions and seyeri-
ty Of measures. It concludes By commend
ing the course Of Col. Fitch at Memphis, and
states that it is his purpose to interfere as
little as possible with the business affairs Of
the city. At the same time he will live up to
bis recent orders to the very letter, and dc.
sircs the people to obey them. He does moi
