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.
