Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1862-08-01

The success Of the cotton burning in inter
cepting the Yankee Spectators who are rowing
about the country in the vicinity Of Memphis,
has caused the Federal authorities to interfere
and in.erdict any further trading in cotton.
Not approaching the usefulness of paying gold
for cotton, only to have it burned, Gen. Sher-
man has issued the following order:
1st. The quartermsster's department has been
instructed by Gen. Sherman to permit no money,
gold, silver or treasury notes, to pass into the
hands of SecessiOnists or Union men for Gotten,
corn or other produce.
p. The quartermasteT IS instructed to seizs all
corn that may be purchased after this date, and
conSign the same North for sale, the proceeds
to be held subj5ctto the claim Of the owners.
ID. Any merchant or trader disbursing money
for the above named articles, after being informed
Of this order, viii be arrested and tried by the
military commission for aiding the enemy.
4th. Citizens may procure cotton if they get it
by giving obligations to pay for it at the end Of
tie war, or at the pleasure Of the governments; or
if they deposit the value of it with the quarter
master, to be held in trust for the benefit of the
owner.
The Bulletin says it is not known yet whether
the order is intended to be applied to the port of
Memphis, as well as the rest Of tho district
The Bulletin expresses great regret that Andy
johnson does not visit Memphis, and styles
him "the very ablest practical statesman now
on tho continent Of America" This sounds
strangely when contrasted with that journals
former appreciation of the arbitrator.
Property holdels are notified that they must
not rent any vacant buildings from this time
forth, without FIRST notifying Quartermaster
Henry S. Fitch, at the Bank of Memphis, where
leases will be given blythe quartermaster depart
ment to the lessee. Any one renting buildings,
in violation of the order, will be compelled to
vacate or pay the rental to the United States
government. 1t is stated that the commission
charged with the duty Of attending to confsca-
ted property find their duties laborious. Up to
the evening Of the 29sh over two hundred houses
had been reported by the ward agents as having
been abandoned by their owners.

The steamboat White Cloud had arrived from
Helena with three hundred and five bales of
cotton.
At the last meeting of the school board a
quorum failed to attend. The Bulletin intimates
that there is considerable trouble in this depart
ment of the affairs Of tho city.

the " damps' in a we'll at the Worsham House,
on the 29th. lie attempted to go down without
experimenting to detect the presence or absence
of the fatal gas, and was instantly rendered

TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND SHELLS. The
Yankees say they cannot tell what kind Of stuff
Vicksburgers are made Of. They have thrown
into the city and batteries twenty-five thousand
shells, and they could see the people in the city
