Tighe appointed l. 8. Clark, who is specially
obnoxious 10 Union people. but Gen, Wasi-
burn don't like 20 interfere lust at this time.
Clark made great deal Of money as ofIicial
printer for the Confederate Government, aud
bis family are reported to have boosted since
the Federals came here that no Yankee
should ever step on their floor. Clark Is en-
tiIely unfit, and has not such personal repn-
tation as is desirable. So much for the inner
political and social life OF our city.
TRADE IN MEMPHIS.
The opening of our lines TO trade has been
vastly beneficial to cur merchants, as It has
enabled them to dispose ofvery large amounts
Of goods On which there would otherwise be
heavy deprcciations. Thus far there have
been no failures in our city, and although
ton, yet it is hoped that all may weather the
storm even though cotton may not advance
in New York as Is anticipated.
+. GUEnuI.As.
Thanks to the energy and policy of Gen.
Waehburn, guerilla outfages outside our lines
hnTc in q Il eat degTeo ceased. The plckets
were drawn in to mlslead the rebels, at the
same time that our, cavalry were sent day
after day, rs they still are. to make excuf-
sions for from five to fifteen miles distant.
The result is, the bushWheckers consider IL
dangerous to hang about our picket lines.
L. In accordance with his policy, Gen. Wash
bum gives arms to persons outside the lines
who wish to protect themselves from gueri1-
las and who giye each other us security that
no traitorism shall prevent this act Of Glenn
ency. As their farms would certainly be con-

little danger of this occurring.
Gtn. Washburn has offered rewards for the
capture Of notorious guerilla leaders. and Is
In every way striving to restore peace and
order. In Memphis his efforts to stop rob-
beiiss and other Gutrages have not been 80
successful. We have, on m average, two or
three robbcries md as many busslafies every
night. This, in city that only polled about
eight hundred votes' at the last election, is
rather rough. Many Of our citizens anticipate,
however, q much worse state Of affairs when
military authority Is Withdrawn.
CRIME IN MEMPHIS.
This is q central point to aud through
which the criminals OF the whole Union will
g1nvitate.
A short time since policeman discovered
that certain parties had four hundred thou
sand dollars of counterfeit greenback8 in
their possession, and were showing 1t off here,
but as relation Of his was concerned he hes
itated to make d seizure or arrest, and conse-
quently the rogues and their QUEER got out
through our army lines, and arc now showing
their trash in Dixie, where it Is said to 60
we'll.
Some little sensation has been caused this
week by the disappearance of Mr.. Barry,
from New York, who came here on business.
He went out one day to business about the
city and never came back. Tho last trace Of
him is that he vas seen ut wharf boat re-
ceiving 1ye hundred dollars. He had valu-
m average one person drowned at the wharf
daily, but there arc not many mysterious dis
appearances.
The weather now Is delightful fruit trees
arc In bloom and spring seems fairly ushered
