CAIRO, Oct. 20.-The steamer Mamie
Byers, from Memphis, passed with $40 bales
of cotton for Cincinnati. Business, which
had been entirely suspended at Memphis,
has been resumed again and the militia dis
charged, as the. danger is believed to be
passed. 1t is the opinion at headquarters
that the rebels have no intention OF attak-
ing Memphis, and that their presence be-
yond is merely designed to cover march
of troops into Kentucky. There is no reb-
ell force within five miles of the city. The
last heard of Chalmers he was south OF
fernando, retreating towards the Swamps
of the Tallahatchie. Forrest was en- route
for Meridian with his prisoners.

movement for Peace and the Restora-
tion of the Union. 1t will wage an eternal
warfare against usurpation and tyranny in
every form; it will oppose arbitrary ar
rests, and advocate the Freedom of Speech
and of the Press. In Short it will give to
the Nominees of the Democratic National
Convention a most earnest and cordial sup
port; and oppose with all its power the i'm
beetle and contemplate Administration
that is now by its unconstitutional acts of
Tyranny and Usurpation attempting to
fasten upon this people Despotism more
degrading than that of the worst Despot
who ever disgraced throne in the Old
World or the New.
Will our Democratic exchanges please
notice editorially this enterprise?

The battle was fought on the same day,
10th, of the month that witnessed Sheridan's
victory in September. What numbers were
opposed to Sheridan are not yet reported to
the department, but the boldness, vigor and
success of the attack strongly indicate that
heavy reinforcement had been sent from
Richmond with the expectation of fulfilling
Longstreet's boast to ''smash up Sheridan"
and had assumed command of the army,
and confident hopes of an overwhelming
disaster to the Union army were boastfully
expressed for several days back by rebel
adherents in Washington and Baltimore.
