hare Memphis dates up to the afternoon e1

I The City Of Alton brought up four hun.
dred bales Of cotton, five hundred passengers
and twenty-five hogsheads Of tobacco.
The prospect now in Memphis is that at the
ensuing elections the emancipation ticket
will prevail over all opposition. The Union
men are going to make an extra effort to &c.
| complish ts'at end at least. =. ~
The Arkansas people are busily employed
/ in their canvass, and n large majority will un-
doubtedly be polled for the anti-elayery fea-
turc OF their new constitution.
The steamer Sunshine was Underground
fifty miles below Memphis, ut Cla1k's Bar
a barge was left along side Of her by the Po-
cahontas, so that We eoon may hope to sec

With regard to the fate of the Planet hc in
forms ms she has sunk from the view Of NOR
tai eye, and is total loss.
The Captain, now en- route for st, Louis
with the passengers Of the Julia, saw several
gin houses in flames near Waterproof, Nliss.,
on her way up. T he f1res were raised By guer-
illas. 1t is supposed that At Ieast three cot
ton gins have been destroyed, md other dep
redations committed.
Some Northern men have lately leased CT.
tcnsiye cotton plantations in the vicinity of
Waterproof, which probably raised the indfg-
nation Of the original owners.

pect Of dispensing them, rs they we're seen
