LETTER FROM MEMPHIS.

MEMPHIS Tenn, March l. Memphis at
present is in rather bad c0ndi,ilion caused
by the recent rains and snow, which LETT its I'M
paved streets a vas SEA Of mud. This state Of
affairs, am happy to say, will soon be at al
end, as the city fathers have advertised for
bids to pave the entire business portion OF the
city, with the Nicholson pavement which |
assure you will add greatly to the comfort Of
its inhabitants Mails from the Fast have
been very irregular Of late, on account OF por-
tons Of the railroads being washed away. The
Mississippi river is very high, and the current
very strong, causing the immense quantities
of ice and drift wood to pass rapid!y down.
General Forrest is in charge Of the construc-
ton of the railroad connecting this city with
Little Rock Arkansas, which wheu complet
ed, will bring 4 great quantity OF trade to
Memphis, which has heretofore been carried
elsewhere. 1t seems to be the determination
Of the citizens here to have their city second to
none in the great southwest. Every day brings
forth new improvements in the way of build
ing, etc., thus blotting out all traces Of the late
disastrous and cruel war.

1t may be we'll for obscure PERSONS, like your

feelings, occasionally, in order that our pubic
men may ascertain the direction 81 the popular
currcnt-wth this object briefly express my
self as follows:
Believing that the Military Force bill was
the contamination of all that our oppresSofs
could DEVISE and that the Radical Congress,
socaIied, would make no other rcqusltIon. 1
was in favor Of acknowledgements adopting
ali its prOVlslOnS-and sinking down into state
0! reposc. | knew that the promise made III
certain procamations to those who would lay
down their arms and take Il certain oath-that
the assurances given those States which would
adopt certain constitutional amendment, re-
peal the ordinance of secession, and Ignore the
confederate debt, had been all 10 vain. Bnt |
thought THE was the last feather on the cam
FL back, " and not another would be offered ;
then was for adopting it in hot haste but
now we are happily relieved OF all Responsible
ty by Wilson bill, and it needs no action on
our part to cOnsummate our humiliation.
II Mr. Wilson means by 1.-The government
in his suffrage oath, The present R0dra1
Congress-, don't knew man in Virginia who
can take it. The "Firginia L0yalists' have
been splitting fire and spewing venom At Con.
gress for six mouths, and surely the ',rebels
have had no good cause to feel affection tor
them For one, your correspondent can say,
he exercises no sincere attachment TO the
government, if the Radical Congress be the
government. Hence he could take no such
oath but he feels no dependency in the mat
ter, Tor the colored people III the rural dis
trcts we believe are all right, and l prefer the
dastinea Of Virginia to rcposc in their hands,
rather than to be intr1rted to the merc}
