Real estate, in the last four weeks, has ad-
vanced to war prices, and the tendency is
still upward. Holders are rushing it into
market at rate commensurate with the sup
posed demand. They seem to be anticipat-
ing time when eagles will glisten in every
loaier's pocket. Boarding. houses and hotels
are doing thriving business. Accommoda-
tions for strangers in the city are very linn
tied. If Richmond is to continue the Capital
of the Southern Confederacy, sensation will
be created in the building world, for houses
must be had. A number of stores on Broad
street are unoccupied, and some of these
might be converted into first class boarding.
houses. The demand for such houses would
justify any outlay.
The different hotels were crowded last
night, the several lines of travel having
brought more than their usual quantity of
the travelling public thither.-E Enquirer, 18Th.

'MKNPHIs, January 2l-The latest intel.
J lieenee received from Paris, Tenn, is to the
! effect that large Federal force is at Murray,
| Nv, threatening Fort Henry and the Mem
| phs and Ohio Railroad. Tteir object is 10
| cut off communication between Memphis and
! Bowling Green.
There was some excitement prevailing al
! Paris, twenty five miles from Murray } and
! several Shareholders had reached Memphis
with their negroes.
''There was nothing new at Columbus, al.
| though an attack was momentarily ex.
| pected."
Paris, here mentioned, is avillage in Henry
County, Tenn, few miles from the Ten
nessee River. 1t is the present Northern
terminus of the Memphis and Ohio Railroad
and its Importance consists in the fact tha
it communicates by railroad with thu
Columbus and Mississippi Railroad, which il
the chief line of communication of Genera
Polk. Our gun-boats, ascending the Ten
nessee River, could land troops within few
miles of Paris, when we should be virtually
in the rear ofPolk.
