Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-01-13

The next morning Sunday our street
corners were thTouged with anxious eiti-
zsns, drawn from eli quarters by reports
that had gone ont, concerning the oCcuF-
rences OF the night. each lnGeIinE what
would turn up neLt. In the mid of
these gave speeala,i0ns, 1t was an
Eounced that 10 q conference with the
General eonamsL ding, II was determined
In view OF the threatening and mutlnous
attitude Of the troops, 10 call u the
companies OF Cgpts. Jackson and Burks,
and with their assistance, il necessary, TO
disarm them. Accordingly runners were
posted ID every direction, and by sunset
upwards OF two hundred men had re-
ported, and were conveniently posted for
any emergency. But matching orders
had Ia the meantime been issued to the
colored troops, indicating a change Of
programme, and by four O'Clock pm.
the column had commenced q r~etr0grsde
movement.
Tine fears therefore expressed OF a re-
urn movement upon the town were
grouDdless. Still every precaution was
observed to guard against possible sur
prise, ard our town was strongly pieketed
during Sunday night. They were not
mOlested during their entire march
through the county, Notwithstanding We
lesrn that their conduct, the first night
out, WAS very bad. They ara reported
As having robbed and plundered every
oOdy within reach, and in several in
stances of having offered ~indignities to
ladies'. At Relf g Bluff, we are informed
they robbed the postmaster and Quilted
the place, and probably would have con-
tinued their d~epredatisns all the way had
they no been intercepted and advised to
Keep the road. Thus has passed over
Jne of those eyentful periods seldom
witnessed even il these eyentful times,
and We ali breathe freer in the conscious
ness that if martial law must be msin-
Csined over us yet longer, one source Of
disquietude at least has been removed,
and we may consider ourselves safe here
after from 8 similar INVASION
A letter from Lswisburg, in Conway
county, in the Gozetts of this morning,
says:
