From Cairo.

CAIRO, Nov. 25.-NNe have Memphis
dates to the evening OF the sd inst. Large
meeting of the citizens was held in Mem
phis City Hall on the I'D inst, for the pur-
pose OF military organization under the re.
cent orders. a committee of five was APP
pointed to draft resolutions and report at g
future meeting. After brief and patriotic
speeches, adjourned to Monday evening.
DR.. 4. NJ. Scott, d. d. died at his resi-
dence in Memphis on the sd of wounds re.
ceived at the hands of midnight assassins
some mention OF which was made six weeks
since.
Late accounts from Arkansas river, rep
resent that region subject to frequent incur
slOnS of cOnscript squads who seize men
and carry them OFF. The citizens are COM
PEELED to band together for mutual protec-
ton. This state of affairs renders the eff
forts OF planters to gather their crops inef-
tectual. The amount of cotton gathered,
compared with the amount grown, will be
small. ,.-
Prices forces are represented as small
and decreasing. No prospect Of favora-
BILE movement on his part.
Some time last week two citizens OF
Memphis named Peers and Wolf, who We're
enjoying the hospitality of Judge Anderson
9 miles back of Helena were dragged from
their beds, robbed of their money and shot
by party of guerillas. Peers was shot
"
Wolf received three shots in the back, but
still survives, though left for dead by the
cowardly murderers.
Late advlceS from Hales Point, MissiS-
sippi river, 10 miles north OF Memphis re-
port great excitement among the people of
that region, in consequence of wholesale
conscriptiOn being made for the rebel ar
my. The party of guerrillas who fired into
the steamer Hawk-Eye State, conscripted
y cltlZens at that point. One of the con-
scrlpted men who escaped, reports that
they have large camp at Woodville, Lau-
derdale Co., 30 miles from the river. They
were to have had a meeting on the 3d.
When they expected to muster 1000 strong.
This force was to be divided into parties
who would sweep the country of horses and
mules, and conscript every man able to
bear arms. The people are leaving their
homes and fleeing in all directions.
The Memphis Bulletin of the evening of
the 23d inst, noticing arrivals there SAYS
1t is believed that in few days the restric-
tons now preventing cotton coming in from
the country will be relieved. Stocks are
very rapidly decreasing. About 1000 bales
reached here yesterday by boats Sunshine.
Desmoines. Progress, Roe and others
Quotations are unchanged but the amount
OF business is so small they are little more
at 23c; at SOC; - at 60; % at roc; II at Tic:
IS at 773c; Al at 75c. The J. j. Roe had 90
hogsheads sugar. Sunshine had in addi-
ton to 500 bales of cotton. 1877 hhds sugar
and 100 bbis molasses.
The cotton was taken on at Goodrich's
Landing to prevent it falling into the
hands of guerrillas. Many people who
would gladly go up or down the river are
prevented from want ofpasses.

4 story is told of young French able,
with more ardor than Judgment, who read
for the first time the Nouvelke Heloise of
Rousseau, Shocked by the dangerous
principles which he believed the work in
culcated, he prepared Immediately tor his
class an eloquent denunciation of the au-
thor and whatever he had written, Of the
fifty or one hundred young men who had
for their grand counselor the judicious
priest, not one had ever read line of Rous-
seau, and they listened with uncommon
interest TO the earnest words of condemna-
ton which their instructor poured forth.
Their curiosity was aroused. In few
days every copy of the works of Rosseau,
which for months had been lying uncalled
for upon the dusty shelves Of the booksel-
lers of the town, We're in the hands of the
inquisitive young mer. They read and
judged for themselves, and were obliged to
thank their over-Zealous guide for their
first introduction to dangerous but cap
tivating author.

DR.. RUCKER of West Virgiaia, who re-
Gently escaped from a rebel Jail says that
while he was in prison at Pittsylvania the
rebels who visited his cell to taunt him,
said the Confederate authorities had deter
minated to starve the Yankee prisoners I'M
til their Government should consent to the
rebel terms of exchange, and leave such
men as FUCKER, STRAIGHT, and the OFF,
GERS of colored regiments to the mercy of
their captors. The report that the Union
prisoners are starved because of the inabil-
fly of the rebels to feed them, is pronounce
by DR.. RUCKER to be untrue. The Wheat
crop this year was half an average. and
corn three-fourths, and pork third crop.
These are but just gathered, and hence
there can be no scarcity yet, but the sup
ply will be exhausted before spring.

HOLDING PRISONERS OF WAR TO
STARVE.-A Richmond journal a little
while ago, made the atrocious suggestion
that our soldiers, who are prisoners in re
bel hands, should not be fed with sufficient
food, while SO many of the inhabitants of
the South We're pinched with want. That
these prisoners suffer from insufficient and
unwhoiesome food, is too well authentica-
ted to be doubted, as we'll as that MANY
nave died IN consequence, murdered by
rebel barbarity. 1t has been reliably sta
ted that the rebel officers in charge of our
prisoners admit these facts, and plead in
excuse that many OF their own people are
as miserably destitute.
This raises the question, which one of
our friends has made in communication
in another column, what right has bel
Iigerent to hold prisoners of war if he can
not feed them? To do this is as much an
outrage upon the rules of war, as to shoot
prisoners Of war in cold blood, and if is
more atrocious. The restitution of the
Contederates they brought upon them
selves. The Government is not resDonsi-
bic for it. The suffering their rebellion
has brought upon the poor and the inno-
cent is one OF the chief features of their
crime. But this guilty restitution is no
palllatlon for their starving our soldiers
for every one OF our men who suffer at
their hands, our Government has the right
to hold them to strict account, the same as
Ii they had been murdered by violence,
and to take the same measures to enforce
this responsibility.
