TRE ALARM AT s1EmPmHs.


From the struggling Memphis journals that
reach Us, We begin to learn something of the
alarm that existed in the BluE City when FoR-
REsT was in the vicinity. The BuLletiH of the
6th has the following paragraph:
Up to sitter midnight last night we beard OF
no new cause for alarm in the neigbborhood of
the city. Precautions have very properly been
taken against auy sudden emergency, signsls
having been arranged by which nearly three
thousand militia troops can be called together
in half an hour, armed aud ready for the ser
vlcs. Last night the whole force was present
Al the various headquarters and smm uniti0n
was dealt eut to every man, and deposited in
the csTtIidge-box Of each in readiness for
sudden call Such other preparations have been
made as will put the military position beyond
danger.
TIE BulIstiH expresses the opinion that, if the
citizens are wise, they will actively prepare to
defend their city Oar opinion Is that a large
msjoriiy Of them, outside of the imported Yam
kse population, and very fsw such traitors as
tie BsLltia's editor, would gladly welcome the
sppssrence Of FORREST and his heroes.
The psrsOasils Of the boastsd militia organ
isstiOn Is not satisfactory to the BuiIstin. Of
the three thousand men in the ranks, it wants
30 know how many are merchants, lawyers,
efies-holders, bankers, hoase-renter5, and Sc
on" and if Memphis should be visited ss
Psdacsh has been" the question is asked and
answered: &" Whose boots, hats, coats, provi-
sions, money, jsUelry, clothes and groceries
would be seized, Whcse property burned down
That Of the very men who are not in the militia
10 defend it" The merchants bankers, etc, :"
6ye THUS reminded that it is their property wants
saving, and they are called upon tordo their
duty. ALI this is significant that the better
class Of the citizens have no sympathy with the
saIiety Of the AbOlitiOnists to keep FORREST

The C0nfederaHe Depredaafoass sa Vaakee
Conamerce.
A document Of nnu5RSl interest was lately
published in the Congressional proceedings
which gives an alphabetical Iisi of vessels cap
cured by ConfederA te privaGesrs, reported up 10
J anuary so, 1854, with the port of clearance,
destination, place Of capture, and tonnage, pre-
pared by Captain J H. Upton, secretary Ameri-
can Shipmastors' association. This list, far
from being complete, gives as the total number
of vessels captured 1913 ; total tonnage s9, ,764 !;
total value Of vessels at fifty dollars per ton
81, ASS 200; value Of cargo at one hundred dol
lars per ton 81 $40 400; total value SO, ass 600
Of the vessels thus captured thirty-fye were
from New York, and their sonnsgs was 10 36I,
which, at the estimated value in the table
amounted to S96s. .O5Oi the cargo to 81, ,936, 100
Twsnty-three of the captured vesssls cleared for
New York, the tonnage Of which amounted to
1872, worth 6l5 500, the cargo 81, ,231 200.
The New York Nsl0s says
Thus in tonnage to and from Now York there
has been loss Of 8 $50 650i in cargo. of 81,
I67 300 showing q total loss Of So ,7J5 $50
caused by the few vessels OF the ConiedeTAte
navy, so often sneerad at BY those whose voice
is still for war, when a shOddy contract is to be
given, or shoulder straps bestowed as rewards
for supporting the Administration. With but a
limited commerce. the Confederalss have suf-
fered comparatively little in comparison with
our own shipping inteTes.. OF the one hundred
and ninsty-thres vessels thus captuTad, al save
seventY-four fell a prey to to the three famed
COnfedsfs to steamers-AlAbGma, Sumter snd
Florids-the Alabama capturing sixty-twO, The
Sumter twenty-six, aud tie Florida twenty-five
in all, one hundred and nineteen vessels, By
three Confederate cruisers
With but a limited commerce, the South, in
The loss of vessels, has suffered comparatively
nothing. Most Of the blockade runners cap
tursd by the Federal deet were owned in Eng
land, Two successful trips, at the his prices
the South pays for English goods viii pay for
loss Of vessel and cargo in third unsuccessful
voyage, aad still leave q large margin Of proht.
While the people Of tho United States are taxed
and the treasury bled to the amount Of more
millions to build and buy ships and support the
navy than it would cost to pay the whole ex-
psnses Of the government in time of peace, still |
we have tho record Of Capt Upton TO show a 1
loss of one hundred and ninety-three vessels I
worth, in vessel and cargo, over thirteen ard /
half million Of dolars The Confedera!e Gov |
eminent sesrce pretend to have a navy, aud sll /
they have has besn imprOVised since the war |
commenced. Over one-hslf the vessels captured |
were prizes 70 q single vessel-the AlAbama-
which The Federal navy has been in pursuit OF
since 6rst she was launched, but managed never
to catch. The loss is startling yet, great as it
is, we doubt not if the whole truth were told, |
ii would be much greater.

four guerriIlHs suddenly made their appearance

TRUE Southern CHIvALRK.-Oa the occa-
sion of our sending flag OF truce to the ens-
my's front, at the Stone church. near Ringgold
few days ago, the gallant Major E. s. Barford,
A. A. General to Major. Gen. Wheeler, was met
by Major Robinsos, of the Illinois cavalry.
The YsDkee major having soma "old Bourbon
along prop osed to Major BurfoTd to take drink.
You must exeuss me, sir, !" said Major Brrford,
Il do not wish to be rude, but Souf m gen.
tlemen, when accustomed to drink, pledge each
other as token Of friendship--I I clnnet there
fore, drink with you, having no friendship for
you'
TIE Yankee major looked chop fallen, and
t1ok horn by himself for consolation. This is
the true spirit, and we hope in all instances 70
see this example carried ont.
Msjor Burford is from New Orleans, Lsuisi-
ana, and enlisted as private at The commence
ment of the war in The oh Louisiana regiment
He was afterwards transferred 10 the 4th COM
paBy Of the New Orleans Washington artillery,
and from thence TO the Ist Alabama (Claaton's)
cavalry, in which he also served as = pzivsss
until promoted to Eeutenancy. For gallant
conduct ct the battle Of Perryvillo. KY, ne was
appointed on Con. Wheeer'B staff, and has
since served as his adjutsnt general with dis
tiDguished ability.

There are in this city, At This time, many wo-
