spot At least, know OF one individual who
has hnay, far r1- %uyo

The grades Of color We find in Memphis are
all the way from white to black, iucIudinp a
preponderance Of white, a large share Of ebony
and q commingling and admIxture Of 1aolasscs-
In variety to prepare painters pallett, Tie
whites afe principally to the mauor born. Init
there are also q lafpe number of Germans.
Irish, French, and northerners. The soufia-
ern men, are Of course a maioritv of them
rebels OF the first water. The persons Of this
class who have wives have also q supply Of
female rebels in the house. I do not mean 10
be understood that al the married women Of
the city are rebels-tar from it. but great
majority Of the partners Of secessionists are
Eorse secessionlsts than their husbands.
There have been cases related to me, indeed,
| where the man OF the house has changed his
| course and gone back nnder the old DAG. I
! do not know OF really southern woman who
has dones so. In fact there are instau-
| ces where men have returned to their allcgi-
