Especial Correspondence OF the Chicago Tribuue]
MEMPHIa. August 1, 1862.
have no news Of importance to commuai
cate, but will in tuture, II have leisure, keep
Jou posted on occurrences at this point.
AM mistaken in sa3ing there is no ncEs We
get it daily from the Chicago Times, through
Z vile st cesh scoundrel who telegraphs from
Cairo, dating at this place. Not long since this
correspondent furnished the traitors Of Chi
cago with full information Of the strength aud
mode Of recruiting the confederate army,
and the Times in al editorial OF the 1st inst,
de3uces therefrom that the South have 750, 600
men in the field, and that 1t will require
the North to raise 1000, 600 instead of sou, 600
to finish the war. Now who does not
know that we have enlisted greater number
of men than the South, and that
our casualties have been from ali
causes at least thirty per cent.
less than this. Admitting the South to have
million and a half OF fighting men. Has not
the North five MILL ons, and should We resort
to conscaption, can We notplace two millions
in the field within three months?
But what the South il to do for more men
after another year'5 struggle, which has
already decimated, weakened and scattered
her armies in the west, we are only left to
inter from the estimates Of the traitorous VAL
laIdigham sheet referred to. They are to be
raised from certain wing Of the Democratic
party in the North and fire on our rear.
The Times correspondent caused to be sent
from here the report that British vessels Of
war had arrived ut Mobile. There was no
such report III Memphis. And great vas the
joy Of the secesh in parading the Chicago
Times in proof of the traitorons lie. Let the
Times give the name Of its correspondent,
and it Gen. Sherman fails to do his duty, there
are thousands OF Union men aud soldiers here
who will not fail to do theirs in Kidding this
locality Of his presence.
All rumors as to any probable attack on
Memphis Issue from the same vile sources.
So secure is the town deemed, that citizens
gre allowed free access from aud into the
country without passes, and no less than eight
regiments sent south within q feW days, but
to what point OR for what purpose, it
would be unsafe for Chicago traitors to be
made acqEainted With at present.
TIE Chicago Times Is more greeduy sought
after BY every we'll known 6ecess10n1st here
than any Of the Richmond or other Southern
which Union troops may offer 10 Sontlera fe-
