The populace Of West Tennessee 10 fast becoming
reconcilcd to what promises to be fixed state Of
things. The people have learned through vcissitudo
of experiences that il IS safest make haste slowly
The old maxim, 'Be you right and then 60
ahead" has been modified by the sulerings Of tho
times read, "Bo sure that might with the right
and then 60 ahead"
The rapid accumulation In Memphis OF vast quantities
Of army supplies Of every description, the influx Of
returning population the arrival OF large csgoss
merchandise the opening OF stores the establish
ment Of mail facilities and the general business atmo
sphere that rests upon tho oty have done far
invite the prodiga!s to return and to give OF
safety to disrustrul people than any OF verbal
pledges or soft proclamations could possibly have
Effected.
The number OF foolish old men, who talk childshy Of
Beauregards return to Memphis and who win great
tories on the street corners has perceptby diminished
The silly ladies' whose feelings have been wrought upon
by the false fabrcatons OF their husbands and lovers
and who believed that the Northern army composed
of men susceptible Of committing the horrible crimes
promised by Pillow Polk and Beauregrd and now that
the army Of the Union is ruled by higher motives and
that virtue, beauty and female delicacy nsulted
neither by act by the recital of imagined vu
garites.
With the improvement In business comes as per con.
sequence Improvement in society. Everything Is
therefore, settling to permanent basis. The citizens
who willing to dwell in peace under the government
OF their fathers feel secure and the most violent
sonsts learning tho bitterness Of treason and many
convinced, against their stub born wills
that secession is an expensive luxury
When secession aud rebellion were FIRST talked OF n
Memphis the ladies' far outstsipped tho ruder" in
rudsness and were tho most violent, abusive and
comp omisng traitors in tho city BY their own foolish
rawlings and the horrible stories Of Yankee barbarity
fabricated by their husbands and brothers, the women
OF Memphis made mad with excitement, and it
will require time and decisive measures to the
disease Tho wife Of NJ c. Galloway, the former editor
Of the Avalanche, and the defaulting Postmaster was
yesterday conducted outside OF the lines by order OF the
commander OF the post for carrying q treasona bic
correspondence with the enemy and for being engaged
in prosecuting loyai women in Memphis. This example
OF punishment to female already vislbly affect
ing the secession circles, and will doubt produce
good result.
The Provost Marshal yesterday issued an order re-
voking all passes granted to parties without requiring
them to take the oath Of allegiance give the prescribed
parole OF honor No pass will be granted hereafter ex.
cept upon the taking Of the oath parole the parole
VIII DO substituted only in special where the party
lives beyond the protection of our arms.
This order has become n necessity Making into con-
sderaton the fact that Memphis went out Of the Union
with greater flourish Of trumpets than any other place
IN Tennessee; that hor prescriptions for difference Of
opinion had been most of all that her people,
through the officers of the rebel government had cons
Gated largo amount Of property belonging TO citizens
OF the Northern States that money due the United
States had been withheld the federal rule has been light
and tolerant beyond what there any right TO expect
All this sugar coating, however, was thrown away The
Union believed the goodness OF tho
and lost no time IN asserting their allegiance The
soniss however, under the mild rule assumed the
OF dcators and conquerors rather than the demeanor
the vanqushed This abuse Of the mdness OF the
rulers made a more rigid policy necessary Soft mea-
stringent enforcement Of the rulos demanded 70
maintain tho dignity and power Of the government.
