From Tennessee


LOUISVILLE, March 10. – An intelligent gentleman who left Memphis on Wednesday last, reports that the citizens are greatly alarmed and are relying on Fort Pillow, Near Fort Raldolph for defence.  There are very few troops at Memphis.

The Legislature succeeded, after several ineffectual attempts to transact business.

Gov. Harris is greatly excited, and is flying about from one southern point to another with little probability of succeeding in his efforts to rally the people to his aid.
