LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 10.
An intelligent gentleman from Memphis on Wednesday, reports that the citizens are greatly alarmed, and are relying on Ft. Pillow, near Ft. Randolph, for defense. Very few troops are at Memphis.
The Legislature scattered after several ineffectual attempts to transact business.
Gov. Harris is greatly excited, and is flying about from one southern point to another, with little prospect of succeeding in his efforts to rally the people to his aid.
