Memphis, Tenn, May 10, I664-Ths practical
operation of commercial intercourse from this
city with tie States in rebellion has been 10 helm
largely to feed, cl0the, ann and eauip our enc
mics. Memphis has been Of moe value TO the
SJuthern Cen{eGeTscy since it fell into Federal
hands than Nassau. To take cotton belonging
to the rebel GoYeTnnsn. to Nassau. or any otheT
foreign poIt, is q hazardous preceding. To
take il to Memphis and to convert il into sup
plies and gTeenhseks, and to return to the lines
OF the enemy, or place the proceeds to the credi.
OF the rebel Government in Europe, without
passing again into rebel lines, il safe and easy.
have nndoubied evidence that large amounts
Of cotton have been and are being brought here
TO be sold, belonging TO. the rebel Government.
The past sid present system of trade hiss given
strength TO the rebel army, while it has dsmor-
allied and weakened our own. Il has invited
the enemy to hover sTound Memphis 8, as MS
best base OF supply, when, OIhef wise, he would
have abandoned the country. /. renders Of

ocean, which has cost, and is costing, many
uilieos. Il opens cur lines to the spies Of the
