From Our Own Corespondcat
MENrHi. T-nu, Friday evening Aug J. 1862
The necessity Of placing some commander overhe
whole Weuiem Department, with headquarters at
Memphis, Corinth, Csir) or st. Louis, ID daily be-
coming more obvious.
Ii this il not 70 be done at once, two Of Gen.
Sherman's measures require the immediate and
Elective action Of the Government ITSELF for they
are working great injury ard injustice;
L. Permitting Suppi,os TO go Sanfh.-Soon after
we reached the city, the Treasury Department estab-
lisbed q Board Of Trade, consisting Of MessTs.
Hough, Majors aud Ware, three loyal citizens Of
large acquaintance and rire business experience.
No goods wbttevor-not a sack Of -four Or "A barrel
Of ssltcould pass out Of our lines into the country
without written permits from them.
Gen. Sherman order Of the 9Th ult. abolished the
permit sys,em, and virtually abolished the Board Of
Trade itseli. 1t established upon Ave principal roads
a guard Of three men, with one commissioned and
one non-comu4saioned officer, insiruciing them
generally to stop wagons Containing " an undue
proportion Of any commodity" II IS Lt entirely
to their dtscye,ioR and any who has bad expert
ence with such GUARDS can judge how far their dis-
creion is to be trusted in matters which sometimes
pazzled the members of tho Board with their buri-
ness experience and their thorough acquaintance N
Memphis and vicinity.
Some Of the roads are not guarded at all. II ID
easy Tor any sagacous man 10 send out merchandise
nponanv Of them, daily-in short, TO carry through
almost any amount and description Of supplies.
Daring the week, since the arrangement was in
,rodnced, trade has received wonderful impetus.
S,ocke Of goods. which were doled ont slowly be-
fore, now disappear with marvellous rapidly. The
philosoIby Of it il very simple Mc"Ph's as s"pPIy-
thg Tie Souicrn C04JeGDacy. Large quantities Of
,aIt, ou;nine, morphine, and other articles most in
demand among the Rebels, are continually PASSING
out. am assured On authority which cannot
doubt, that ammunition, even, is thus being carried
through the lines
II. Tat,ug possession Of racaAt property-The
order itself seemed to contemplate selzing only the
properlv of Rebels. No Loyss; could complain Of
Ibis; bnt il IL being carried out IN radically dlier
ent manner The officers executing 1t take all
vacant buildings making no determination o1a'-
erey Jetrceen tie property 81 Loyal'"s aud mat q
ReJels.
Many Union families are gone North on summer
visits TO their friends, from whom they haa long
been cut off by the blockade. Designing W ."
few weeks, they have merely closed their dwellings,
without packing their goods or protecting anything
against the injury which must be done by new ana
strange tenants. The officers are taking poSse9sion
of these dwellings aud renting them out utterly re-
fusng to hear any testimony in the matter, ana re-
plying to the circumstances Of friends, =" hon lney
return they can claim redress from the do'eru"c,'
if it has done them eny injury" Az If there couu
he any adequate redress for tho damage which fanny
pictures, keopsakes, mementoes and furniture must
euler in such caeesl
II is peculiarly hard that the innocent, who have
suffered persecution and indgnes for their loyalty,
should thus be punished with the guilty, by Their own
Government, after the restoration Of its auIho'iY'
Houses are being seized, whose owners were 10
'onsPicaOusly oyal that their property was conns'
