Eater From, Memphis.

MEMPHIS, June II.
venture to assert without the fear of sue
cessful contradiction, that no city reclaimed
from rebel misrule, since the war began, has
made less show OF resistance, offered fewer in
suits to the captors, Cor seemed better
resigned to its fate than Memphis. 1 am told
by those whose opinions are entitled to- some
weight, that there is really not a great deal of
Union sentiment in the city; that the people
quietly submit because they have to that they
were oppressed and prosecuted by the lea
ders of the rebellion that any change of rulers
would have been relief to them, that what we
mistake for Union sentiment is negative rath-
er than positive that We must deal very quiet
~ with them if We wish to get along without
trouble and that whatever outward show of
contentment or resignation they may make,
their sympathies are still with the South.
This may be true, in great measure, of that
portion of the population who have closely l.
Identified themselves with the rebel cause but
it wouldbe difficult matter, think. 20 con-
vince any impartial observer that the masses
of the people not heartily glad to see the old
flag restored Possibly there is some truth in
the remark of an avowed rebel to me. (who had
admitted that there were two Union men in the
city to one Secess onist, )that thisstate of feel
ing was brought about recently, and was ow-
ing entirely to the wretched manner in which
the leaders of the rebellion in Memphis man
aged aheir cause. Be this as it may, the I'm
ionlfeeling is here. The Memphians seemed to
be impressed with the belief that the power of
the Union is irresistible, and have made up their
minds, whether willingly or unwillingly, that
the best thing they can do is to submit to the
old order ofthings, and resume their intercourse
with the North. Boats from above are now
looked for as eagerly, and boarded as freely as
they were wears 400, The Provost Marshal i

the utmost solcitude is felt by all classes to
know when trade will be fully and unrestrict-
eddy established.

News from, southern Sources

The Charleston Courier of the 9Th says
ssThc steamer Et Wan arrived at an early
hour Wednesday morning from Fort johnson,
with several of the wounded in the fight of
Tuesday, and two wounded prisoners. These
were met on the arrival of the boat by numer-
ous friends, and the utmost attention given
them. Capt Thos Z. Simm ons Of the Charles
ton Light Infantry, was slightly wounded by
niece of she'll which burst near him. woundlng
also Lieut.. Clarkson and Sergeant Muckentuss.
Rumors of another fight early Wednesday morn
ing were circulated but proved to be only some
slight picketing and diminishing. Picket Skin
mishinp continued throughout the day with no
loss to either side as far as we could learn
"A report that the enemys fleet had lett Sto-
no RAJ is also believed to be without founda-
tion,although the heavy blow of Tuesday night
may have had its effect in compelling them to
run out to sea- or seek shelter at Port Royal,
mo doubt exists as to the landing of q con-
siderable force of the enemy on both John aud
James Islands. The indications point strongly
to an early engagement and serious fight.
"Our troops have already given the enemy a
foretaste of the work before them. Whenever
they advance, we confidently look forward to
similar successful results in driving the invader
back, and permanently checking his progress
1--WE have heard numerous reports ami &C
counts of the fight on James Island, but they
add little to the information already published,
The force of the enemy now on James Island IS
supposed to be about 1000, and the same num-
Der on John Island.
ut was also supposed and reported that the
enemy landed large number of troops during
the sheIling of the woods Tuesday night A
great deal of cannon firing was heard late IN the
afternoon, and there is believed to have been
slight engagement between one of the gunboa e
and a light battery on shore"
The Mercury Of the 9Th says:
THE enemy has made a reconnaissance with
q strong force of gunboats in the Stono River.
Z few troops were landed on either side, on
James and John Islands, under the guns of the
fleet They may Or may not be ashore since
the repulse of day before yesterday by our
troops, but as yet there is no formidable force
apparent nor is it probable that the Burnside
fleet forms any portion of the expedition.
"Only eleven vessels were off the bar yesteI-
day, and there were fifteen vessels in the Sto-
no River. The blockading squadron and an ex-
petition from Hilton we judge to be the whole
of the feet so far. How it may expand with
time we know aot.'

Mr. Fessenden-TheG must object
Mr.. Doolittle-I do not feel any very oreat
interest in the question whether my vote ap-

to aid from the State of Wisconsin lin accord
ance with cha pier 8, laws of 1861, extra ses-
sion,) complaining that the monthly state pay
has been suspended, and attributing the stop

making out the proper monthly reports ofmcm-

To those interested would state, that in
compliance with the requirements of chapter
112, lsws of 1862, approved March q, 1862 a
copy of which have received from the E1ecu'

made out regular monthly reports of the condi'

the blame rest where it belongs, and am con-

day written to the Secretary of State at Madi

The army correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, under the date of June 9TH, says
1--WE have, from the balloon corps, mos,
| startling account Of rebel mutiny. Two OF
three days ago, while taking observations, the
| baoonist observed quite commotion in tn G
enemy's camp. A large body of troops were
| drawn out, and from the burrying of horsemen
and preparation of arms he first thought there
was to be an attack on our forces Soon, how
ever he observed the troops take position and
direct their pieces at their rebel bre thren-
Field glasses being brought to bear, discev.
cred the curiOusly acting party to be North Car
olinians, and they were taking a position OF
defence against the attack of others in the reb-
ell army. Fire was soon opened by both parties
Volley after volley of musketry was poured
into each others ranks, and the battle swayed
to and fro, for a long time undecided. Soon
however, the North Carolinians seemed to be
getting the worst, and directly broke and fled
the others gaining a complete victory.
l send you this story as l heard it. For
some time, the rebel guns opposite Mechanics.
vile have been turned toward Richm ond, and
on the day on which it is said this mutiny and
battle took place, great smoke arose from the
enemy's camp, and volleys of musketry could
be distinctly heard, during several hours, The
North Carolinians are known to be discomfort
ed. When prisoners are taken in battle it is
generally discovered that the North Carolinians
among them have not fred their muskets, and
that they make no resistance to capture. The
news of the doIngs at home-of the reputation
Of the rebel government, and the recall of the
Carolina troops in the army has, no doubt, by
this time reached the enemy's camp, and would
be sufficient TO cause mutiny and ganguinry
battle. As it is, observed rebel guns turned
toward their own works on the afternoon in
question; saw the smoke, and heard the voll- !
eys of musketry. IF there was a fight, or is to
be another, I cry with all my heart and soul,
God help the North Carolinians -

Europe 'EPcrpsexed'' at the View of ths
Military Power of the Union.

From The London Times, May Is.
The war in America is sweeping over the
land with the velocity and destructveness of q
hurricane, and all the ordinary feelings aud
pursuits of men are absorbed in its vortex. Bull
etins from the armies succeed each other with
rapidity enough to satisfy even the appetite OF
the New York public sharpened as il was with
twelve months Of famine. The scale of opera
tions is absolutely tremendous. The Federals
have 100000 men in arms, and the army esti-
mates actually voted for the present war exceed
el25 co., 600 sterling. These forces are no long
er stationary. In the East, as we'll as the West,
they are so actively engaged that every mail
brings us the intelligence of a battle, an attack,
an advance, or a conquest. President Lincoln
was right enough when, in his homely language,
he described this war as "big job" tits about
the biggest Job of the kind ever seen, no mere
''ninety days business OF temporary distur-
bance The instruction" which MIR. Seward
believed to be wanting at the close of last
year, now covers half a continent with desola-
ton and havoc, and we warned that the
battles known to be imminent will exceed in
severity any hitherto fought

Dear friend we mourn
That one young and true
Was called from earth away ....
Tears will unbidden fall
Alone in strangers land,
Oh ! who did sooth thy dying brow
When thy pure spirit took its fight,
Up to the shining realms of day.
Thy comrades have laid thee to rest,
Placed the turf lightly on thy breast,
Wrapt tn around with thy soldiers dress,
And thy soul has gone to its God.
Slavery thou art the accursed thing,
Taxing our loved ones away,
Causing this nation to weep in Bitterness
God of our fathers, to Thee would look,
Danish this sin from weeping land.

the military system as the army itself 1t fol-
lows the movements of troops closely, and an
army is no sooner established in camp than the
wires follow it, and the click of the telegrapLic
instrument can be heard in a canvas tent within
a few hours. The wires are stretched from tree

back and forth in zig gag course to avoid the
