MATTERS AND THINGS AT RICHMOND.
From the Richmond correspondence OF the
Memphis Appeal, under date Of May Goth, we
make the following extracts:
Dryden, 10 the opening paragraph Of his "Es-
say on Dramatic Poesy," describes, in a few
striking sentences, the feeling Of suspense with
which the citizens Of London, on the I'd OF June,
1865, listened to the cannonade between the En-
glish and Dutch fleets then engaged In deadly
conflict in the Thames.
In Just the same frame Of mind, all hearts op-
pressed with anxiety unmingled with dismsy,
did the cit zens Of Richmond listen, during the
whole Of Saturday, to the almost incessant boom
OF artillery beyond the eastern suburb ~ the
town. From four in the morning until eight

The savannah News OF Friday, the 30th says:
The Yankee gunboats, mentioned by us as being
In the river below Fort Jackson on Wed nesday,
were still in view yesterday, but bad taken po-
sitioEs further down, near Tennessee creek
IL Is thought by some that the boats were en-
gagged In removing their batteries on Oakly Island
and large volumes of white smoke rising In that
direction yesterday afternoon, induced the belief
that they were burning their cabins at their aban-
doned batteries. Others are of opinion that the
steamers brought men and guns for the erection
