AFFAIRS AT TMEMPHIs.-The Federal troops
are now in quiet pos session of Memph ie,
and the Stars and Stripes, which we're bu-
ried there about year ago with mock so
lemnily, are now floating over the public
buildings and the houses of some of The cit
izens. We have bad no account of any
acts Of vandalism, such as the burning of
cotton. ETC., being perpetrated at Memphis
previous to the occupation of the city by
the Federals. The following dispatch, da-
ted at Memphis, June 18th, was received
by the Associated Press:
General Lew. Wallace has assumed COM
mand Of the city. His first official act was TO
take possession of the Argus office. That pa
per has been an outspoken advocate of the re-
bellion. The paper will be continued under
the supervision of loyal men appointed by Gen.
Wallace.
Threats have been made Of tearing down the
Union flags flying over citizens houses, The
Provost Marshal issued an order instructing
the guard to shoot down on the spot any one
attempting to pull down the flag, or offer insult
to or molest our resident citizens who have
thus manifested their devotion to the Union.
An order was also issued to imprison all cti-
zens carrying firearms or other concealed wea-
pons.
Rebel guerrillas are still prowling about the
surrounding country. Five of them were ar
rested last night by pickets in the suburbs.
Guerrilla bands are engaged in destroying all
the cotton in the counties of Northern Mis-
sissippi which has not been burned by the own
ers.
Boats are going North, loaded to their ut
most capacity with freight
The oath ofallegiance was administered to
four hundred and ten persons yesterday. Hall
Of them were soldiers.

MORE RUMoRs OF INTERvENTIoN.-We e
have intelligence from Liverpool to June
18th, and among the items Of foreign news,
we find the following on the subject Of "me-
diation" and Intervention" in American
affairs:
In the House of Commons on the 18th, Lord
Palmerston said, in answer to a question that a
communication had been received from the
French Government on the subject of media
ton in America, and the British Government
had no intention at present to offer mediation.
The Paris Patrie says the approaching visit
of Count Persigny to London is exclusively po-
fitical and it is expected he will submit to the
English Cabinet the private views of the EN-
peror relative to mediation in America.
The London Daily News argues against m
reference in America, and contends chat Eng
land has good reason for not wishing to see
carried out the intervention policy of NapO-
leon.
The London Times editoriaTEy approves of
mediation, and says that Europe ought not to
look calmly on. If an offer of mediation be de-
layed, more important question-that of the
recognition of the CoDfederates-may have to
be considered
The statement of Lord Palmerston, that
the British Ministry had received a eOmmu.
nication from the French Government on
the "subject Of mediation in America" is
of course reliable; but we have no intima-
tion as to whether the French Government
is iu favor of mediation, or opposed to me.
diation. At any rate, it seems that Eng.
land has no intention at present to offer
mediation, and probably the communication
Of the French Government was to the same
effect. If those Governments are really
anxious for a speedy peace in America, the
only thing they could do to hasten that re-
suit would be to give the rebels plainly to
understand that they could not hope for
foreign aid.

The Eastern News.

The Associated Press have received East
ern dispatches giving news items from the
7lh TO the 25th inst, during the time the
overland telegraph was not in working or
der. No great battle had occurred, but
there is reason to believe that immense pre-
parations are going on for decisive battle
10 The vicinity of Richmond. The Contcd
crates are abandoning the Southwest, and
sending all their troops to Richmond, with
the evident intention of stalking the fate Of
their confederacy upon the issue of single
battle. Beauregard was already there, and
some of bis troops bad also arrived. M'Clel-
lan's army is doubtless being largely rein
forced, but no intelligence Of the move
ments of The Federal troops is allowed to be
telegraphed. Gen. Pope, one Of the best
officers of the West, arrived at Washington
on the oath inst, aud it is more than pro-
bable that large numbers of Western troops
have Joined McClellan's army in front OF
Richmond. The concentration in Eastern
Virginia seems to have been going on for
two or three weeks; and when the battle is
fought it will doubtless be one of the most
desperate and bloody the world has ever
witnessed If the confederates are defeated,
and their army disorganized, it will be the
end Of their confederaCy. A defeat of the
Federals would save Richmond, revive the
dropping spirits Of the rebels, and possibly
enable them to establish an independent
government over the Southeastern and
Gulf States. There would, of course, be a
long war for boundaries; and in any event,
the Federal G )vernment can retain West
ern Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, oil the
States and Territories, west Of the Missis-
sippi, and control the navigation of that
river.

A DYING CH1LD's REQUrsr-Ada Byron

A DYING CHILD's REoUEsT.-Ada Byron
Keeler died at Stockton on the 23d inst, aged
six years. She was the daughter of Jack Kee-
Ter, who died at Benicia, while sutler of the Sd
regiment. When told that she must die, she
appeared to feel no concern about dying, but
much about the place and manner Of her buri-
al. She said she wanted to lie by the side of
her father, at Benicia, in pretty coffin, with
nice lining, with blanket under her, so that
she might lie comfortably, and have a boquet
of flowers m her hand. She was promised that
she should be buried as she desired, and on the
day after her death her mother started for Be-
nicia with the corpse.

Tue EIGHTH CENSUS REPORT-A Wash
iDgton correspondent says the manuscript
sheets of the forthcoming preliminary re-
port on the eighth census, The printing
whereof has been ordered By Congress. con.
sist of some twenty chapters,devoted to inn
portant illustrations of the progress OF the
country in population, agriculture, manu-
features and other permanent Interests,
written in a manner to render statistics at.
traclive TO the common reader 1t embra-
ces view of the progress of slavery and
the coIored race, and of slavery among In
dian tribes. 1t contains carefully prepared
chapter on immigration, aud illustrates the
changes which have been wrought in the
representation in Congress. The subjects
of medicine aud disease are treated at some
length, and a complete history is given of
the progress made in the treatment of the
deaf and dumb blind, insane aud idiolc in
this country aud Europe. The progress of
the country in its banks and monetary con-
Germs receives due mention, while the con.
diton of the newspaper press and IFS pro
gress are given with accuracy and care. So
far as the subjects embraced by the census
have been tabulated, the report of the Su-
perinlendent details the results of that great
work. The chapter on the progress of man
ufactures and the mechanic arts will excite
wonder not only in this country, but 10 Eu-
rope, at the amazing advance we have made
in the last ten years. The report will in-
clude many tables which form the basis Or
the narrative. A volume of this charsetef
will be of much more practical use and pos
sess much greater interest than a dozen vol
umes of figures
