From the Memphis Appeal.

We have the Commercial of the 9th, and
find its columns filled with war intelli-
gence. So far as the city is concerned, no
Iapprehensions are expressed, but it is adj
mitted that the reported approach of Gen.
Smith caused universal panic, not only
/ in Porkopolis, but throughout the State.
The city was filled with volunteers who
flocked in unarmed and unorganized, who
were advised to return, as they were not
Leeded, but to hold themselves In readiness.
Business, however, continued suspended,
and the citizens, white and black, were
engaged in the entertainments on the Ken
lucky side. The Commercial advises that
martial law be relaxed, and the business
houses be opened, with the distinct under
standing that they be closed at an early
hour each day, in order that the whole
population subject to military duty be
drilled.
Three works of defense are being con-
structed in the fear of Covington and New
port-Forts Mitchell, Shalee and Anderson.
The latter is on the Pike running South.
Gen. Lew Wallace is in command, and is
said to have his hands full with the hastily
collected raw levies. The Gazette of the
9Th says
The streets are fairly alive with moving
columns of armed men. The city military
companies filed through the streets yester.
day in splendid style, and made magnif-
cent appearance. From the interior, we
learn, the country is fairly alive. Men are
rushing to arms, and every train comes in
loaded with volunteers, armed and ready
for action. They are pouring in by thou
sands. Ohio regiments are coming in free
} ly, and Governor Morton, as usual, is ready
with large force to swell the column
that are concentrating for operations IL
f Kentucky. Major General Wallace ha
certainly reason to feel proud of the spon
taneous outpouring of the people in re
Spouse to his demands. We have blu
2 little news to-day with reference to rebe
movements in Kentucky. Guerrilla partie
made their appearance at various place
not far from our lines, back of Covington
. which gave rise to many rumors as to tn
approach of the enemy in force; but Kirb
Smith, even if he is marching on the city
must still be considerable distance fror
: our guns. We have no fears for Cincinnati
