Cairo is quiet to day and nothing Of

is kept profoundly secret. and under Sec
rotary Stanton's orders cannot be tele-
graphcd.
The mortar feet is finished and the ma

Wounded soldiers are continually pass

The Ohio is rapidly rising and nearly
choked up with drift-wood aud the cur
rent is very strong.
Nothing has transpired in reference to
Columbus. Reports from rebel sources
represent that stand will be made at Co
lnmbus, Randolph and Memphis. Ten
nessee forces are constantly concentrating
at Memphis, and the streets are barrica-
ded with cotton bales. The rumored re-
ports Of the paci6cation Of Tennessee il
denied. Late Memphis papers contain .
