From Cairo

CAIRO, February 26.

Cairo is quiet to-day, and nothing of interest has transpired.  All military matters are kept secret, and under Secretary Stanton’s orders cannot be telegraphed.

The gunboats are lying in the stream.

Wounded soldiers are continually passing through here on their way home.

The Ohio is rapidly rising and is nearly choked up with drift wood, and the current is very strong.

Nothing transpired in reference to Columbus.

Reports from rebel sources represent that a stand will be made at Columbus, Randolph and Memphis, Tenn.

Forces are constantly concentrating at Memphis.  The streets are barricaded with cotton bales.

The rumored report of the pacification of Tennessee is denied.

A late Memphis paper contains a savage war message from Gov. Harris.
