Gen. Lees Dispatch to JEFF Davis,
Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune
MEMPHIS, September 9Th, 1923.
The popular pulse in Memphis has received
a wonderful acceleration within the past few
days. It now runs at fe7er standard. All the
change has been wrouaht BY the late reputed !
SUCCESSES in Virginia aud Kentucky.
Il is wonderful, the alteration in the manner
aud feelings Of this people, within the past |
few days. Another Cause for this sudden |
chaugc has been
THR ARRIVAL. OF PRISONERS.
The steamers bearing The 4, 500 confederste |
prisoners 10 Vicksburg for exchange, arrived |
here t6o days since, and from the breaking OF
some machinery, we're obliged to stop hare
until the repairs were completed. This would
have done no great amount OF harm, perhaps,
had not the officer in charge consented to a
brief parole Of furiough Of the officers, du-
ring which they were allowed to come ashore
ard remain over night. Again, had these rebel
officers acted as they should have done, It
| would not have been as bad Is it noT is. But
/ being on shofe, free men, after q long and te-
dicns confinement, 1t was perhaps natural they
should ineulge in little exhuoerance OF Epl-
| rits, but it VAS not natnral-atleast, not gene
rally-that they should get intoxicated, and
&c to the e1travagances laid to their door in
| this Instance. To raise good spirits they
| poured bad spirits do wn, and as ike begets

Three cf these men gathered in the public
| room Of q hotel the very evening alluded to,
and, among other things equally reprehensi-
| ble walked back and forth in the apartment
| in an imPudenr and sEaggeri1g manner, and
| while no federaIs were supposed to be about,
exhibiting miniature rebel flag, aud saying
| that in Elort time that flag would wave over
this country. One ot 1hese men boasted that
within three days he would be in Piice's
! AMY. OF COURSE the effect these men hid
| upon citizens Inclined to be quiet aud orderly,
| was bad, and only bad. 1t has had much to
Go in Bringing about the present excited and
unsettled state Of affairs In Memphis, alluded
| to above.
When another lot OF prisoners are sent off
to Ficksburg, it is to be hoped they may not
pause long u Memphis.
