DIRECT FROM MEMPH1s.-We con.
versed, on Saturday, with man just arrived
from Memphis, havirg left that place but
few days since. lie says there are no troops OF
Memphis all available men having been eeLt
to asset Beauregard OF Corinth. No difficulty
was experienced by bimself or companions in
getting away and making their escape to the
North. Everything in the shape Of soldier
had been hurried of to the battle field. The
conscript law does not work we'll, and our in.
formant thinks these forced levys will not
fight, and when the battle comes on, they will
dieperse and make their escape. He Gays that
several regiments are now under guard for
mu,iny. The people Of Memphis have ex-
pected q visit from the Union forces long ere
this. They supposed the Fedsrals would have
reduced Forts Pillow and Randall weeks since.
and many hundreds Of citizens left for the
South through fear of capture. He thinks
Memphis will not be burned, a. large pro.
portion Of her citizens have their all invested
in the town, and will hesitate before they ruin
themselves by firing their property.

Prepare to Enlist,

Under this startling caption the New
York WOrid of Saturday epitomizes in its
editorial columns q lengthy and earnest
communication from Washington, which
appears among its correspondence. 1t says /:
A hundred thousand more soldiers are
needed this very hour. Gen. McCiellan's
army is in danger, not, indeed, of defeat in
battle. but Of failing to accomplish the OBJ
ject for which it made its painful progress
TO it's present position.
A doubtful result or drawn game at Rich
moDd would prolong the war for another
full year, with the possibility, the almost
certainty. Of foreign interference, before its
close. so costly calamity must be pre-
vented, if prevention is within the compass
o: human effort. We have foO!ishly uu-
derrated the strength and pluck of the
rebels; we foolishly stopped recruiting ,
we foolishly relaxed our efforts, under the
excitement Of our Western victories, while
the enemy redoubled his and rcsorted to q
Wholesale conscriptiou; we foolishly weak
eued the army of tho Potomac by dispersion
and division of commands, whilo the rebel
army in Virginia was strengthened by yig-
orous concentration. But these blupders
belong to the past. The present is too
crowded with solemn duties to leave any
time for incupations. The government
will do all it can to repair its errors, but
their power of efficient action depends on
the prompt cooperation of the people,
Every man in the North of suitable military
age should hold himself ready to enlist
the opportunity will not long be wanting
TO such as can leave home on short notice.

We had not time 10 rub the stiffness out OF
our bones when we wore on the road again.
Marching several days and nights. we got TO
tho mountain pass that loads to Now Mar.
ket; found the bridge burned and camped
over night noar tho river. Our orders tho
next morning we're to advance on this side
Of the mountain. The 81 and 4th Brig.
ades, though tired and worn out from hard
marching, were soon on the road again.
On the 4th Of June, the 4;h Brigade
arrived at Port Republic, where the Reb.
els were discovered in strong force on the
other side OF the Shenandoah River. The
bridge across the river was guarded with
several pieces OF artillery. The 7th 10.
diana Regiment. assisted by some Of The
LIST Virginia Cavalry, advanced on the
bridge, but were repulsed with some loss.
In the afternoon, the 81 Brigade arrived,
and hailed within one mile Of the bridge,
made coffee, and rested during the night.
About Two thousand Rebels crossed the
bridge, and attacked US at six O'Clock in
the morning. Our forces, at the time,
did not number more than three thousand.
The fact is, the bridge was to have been
burned the day before, TO prevent the
Rebels from crossing. Owing to some
misunderstanding among the officers, they
failed to set Ere to the bridge, which left
our small force in a dangerous place.
The boys fought like tigers. The battle
lasted about five hours, when we were
compelled by an overwhelming force to
retreat from the field. Gen. Shields ar
rived within six miles of the battle ground,
with the lst and ed Brigades, 10 time to
save our baggage from the enemy, and
stopped the retreat.
Col. Buckley was the last Col. on the
field. The 99th had no orders TO retreat.
The gallant Buckley, finding himself sur
rounded. told his men TO rally to the
mountain, and make good their escape
He, with about thirty men. wandered
through the mountain for two days. Gen.
Shields ordered the bridge to be burned.
His subordinate officers say they had no
such orders. Any way. great blunder
was made by somebody, and we had to
pay for it. l think we killed as many OF
them as they did OF our men-perhaps
more.
Our Regiment numbers now about two
hundred men. Lieut.. Col. Clark is
among the missing. Cap,ainT.uce, Co. E,
was killed. We are now in camp near
Luray. awaiting further orders.

Doc. Firestone and the Yankee.

An incident occurred in our locality,
which | think is worthy of publication.
Doc. Frestone, fsmiiarly called "Old
Doc," who combines with the qualities
Of physician that Of a good orator, was
one day, during last campaign. going up
10 small town TO make political speech
"A "Squatier Sovereignty" one.
When few miles from town he over
took lean, lank specimen OF the genus
Yankee, who asked him for ride. The
doctor. with his usual generosity, gave
him place beside him
After the usual comments upon the
weather, Doc. inquired his destination.
"Wall." answered the Yankee, "Im
going up 10 the Democratic meeting"
"Ah indeed" says the Doctor, edo
you know W who are the speakers ?"
"Wall j hearn tell old Doc. Firestone
is to speak but would not believe a
word he said he is the meanes. man in
the country -
"Ah ! indeed ?" SAYS Doctor he
knew the Yankee did not know him per.
sonally-"and why is he such mean
man ?"
"Why, don't you know that he is the
greatest grave.robber in Northern Ohio?
He thinks no more OF Stealth corpse,
than he does of eatin."
"But STILL" says Doc, ait does not
follow that he is liar ?"
"Yes. it does. says the Yankee for
any man that will rob grave will lie !"
Well, thus the conversation went on in
one confidential TRADE from the Yankee,
against "Doc. Firestone. until they ar.
rived at the town. When they came
within sight OF the crowd (which was a
large one, three cheers were given, with
a hearty good will. for DOC. Firestone. -
The Yankees face elongated, and his
eyes almost started from their sockets
Turning slowly around. he faced Doc,
and says:
"Be you Doc. Firestone ?"
EYES," answered Doc, his ewes twink.
ling with mirlh.
"Doc. Fires,one from Wooster ?"
"Yes."
"Pm obleeged for the ride"
He sprang from the buggy and disap-
peared.
The joke was told, but no Yankee could
be found that day.
We viii. guarantee that the Doc. made
prime speech after that. A man who
could humor such "all' joke as that,
must be capital on the stump.
