Last week, five or six hundred came

In the vicinity ten fifteen days, but
finally went back to Memphis. It's said
that General Morgan l.. Smith is to be
placed in command at Memphis, but this
is not generally believed, for Washburne
is a great favorite with Lincoln, and the
command at Memphis is very soft,
shady place, except when Forrest gets
scarce of horses.
Blockade running is pretty we'll broken
up, and some of the old operators have
sold out and gone South. Goods are
higher at jackson than they are in Mo-

scarce, has not reduced prices at all. On
the contrary, everything is higher now
than it was twelve months ago, when
the country was flooded with Confederate

When Moore was arrested by Mr..

AFFAIRS N M,SsOURI-THE FEDERALS IN
A CRITICAL CONDITION.

The Federal troops occupying Pilot
Knob, Missouri, under General Ewing,
were, on Wednesday last, in critical
situation. Ewing had been previously
ordered to withdraw his forces, but his
communications were cut beforehe could
get away The Confederates had sue
ceeded in planting battery on Shep-
pard's Mount, which commands Ewing
position, and were throwing shells into
the fort, which inflicted, as we are told,
some injury to The garrison. The Federal
post at Mineral Point was also attacked
on Tuesday night The commandant,
Colonel Mills, is said to have repulsed
the enemy but it is also stated that he
subsequently abandoned the place and
retreatcd to De Soto. On the same
evening the town of Potosi was captured
by the Confederates. The headquarters
OF General A. j. Smith have been estab-
lished at De Soto, where reinfercements
were being sent to him About eighteen
thousand Missouri militia are reported to
be under arms, together with number
of independent companies. All, or nearly
all, of these, however, will most probably
be retained for the defence Of st. Louis.
