We conversed on yesterday with a very intel

from Illiuois, says the Memphis Appeal of the
20th lost, having left Cairo on the 20tb, and
derived fiorn them some interesting information,
later than any thing we have seen from that sec
tion. How they run the blockade we shall not
disclose. There parties Lave lived in southern
Illinois for ivine months, an 1 are now returning
to Louisiana, their fotmr hiate of residence.
They assert that toe nw Federal gunboats
bad nut arrived from x. Louis, as s'ated, they
not beirg ye: comp eten, and were not expected
until the middle ol December or later. It ap
pears that alter Fremont was superceded, the
work on them cease , owing to a stampede of
the mechanics, who re;used to labor without the
prospect of pay. Fremon’ made the contracts
for their construction.
But two gunboats were on tho Ohio river in ser
vice, the one at Cairo and the other at Paducah,
the same that have been making at mi-occasional
visits to Columbu*.
We further learn ill it th. re is no doubt of the
withdrawal of Hunter’s army from Hprii gfield,
Mo , with the view of their transfer to Cairo, a*
a part of the invading force down the Mississippi
valley. The troop* from Cape Girardeau, Birds
Poiut, aud evt-u Springfield, 111 were also to be

that the army at Cuiro was to be increased to

The force there now is not over SIJ,UUU, and at

“The news that the Cumberland Hap •*peti

enough to sicken the whole country. There has
been au alarm both false aiul foolish, ami a tuoat
abominable stampede. While tile Hast Ten
nesseuna were burning to advance, and Kaat
Tennessee war converted into a trap for Zolli
coffer** army, our army, im if it were commanded
by idiots, runs away. We have no heart to
comment on such imbecility. If it continues,
of course the Tennessee regiment* in our army
will make their peace with Jeff Daria.**
The Commercial of the neat day after thia
publication, publishes a lengthy and detailed
account of the atampede, from a correspondent
who witnessed it, dated at Crab Orchard, Ken*

They were ordered to r ‘treat by Hon. Sohoept,
in oonae(Uenoe of a belief that tieo Johnson waa
advancing on their flank from Dowling Green*
while General Zollicofl'er waa advancing on thair
front. The retreat or rather rout, waa equal to’
that of Bull Hun, although they had met no enemy.
They covered the road with knapsaks, broken
wagons, dead horses, and men who died from ex
haustion. Andy Johnson waa at Wild Cat
wheu they received (he order to retreat, and
waa overcome with deapair, aaya the letter wri
ter. The East Tennesseans and the Kentuckiana
swore and raved at the order, and finally nearly
all deserted, in such number*, that they were
ordered to return to London.
This extraordinary retrograde movement was
doubtleaa caused by the advauce to Columbia of

Cleburne of Arkansas, who it waa reported were

Otter Island, and fired some shell ashore to see
if they could uncover any masked batteries, and
finding none they ventured to land in tbeir

News Aeoct tek Hakbok—The steamer
Chesterfield, Captain Fiynn, being in Confede
rate service, was yesterday employed in attend
ing to several matters of military importance in
the neighborhood of the city. Fbc took to a
neighboring Island a Urge number of abie-bod
ied laborers, who were brought here by their
owners from Bt. John's nod St. Stephens, to aid
in placing the ©iry in a thorough state of defense.
We were much pleased with the appearance of
tbeso M/vants, their clothing bong of the most
comfortable description ; their physical develop
ment good, aud everything about then gave in
dication of good management on the put of tbeir
ma*ter*. Tbeir owner* went with them to direct
their labor, and to see that they were properly
cared for While the steamer was landing them,
several heavy columns of smoke appeared to the
southward, wbieh was supposed to arise from the
fields of patriotic planters, wbe were busily em
ployed iu burning King Cotton. At this point
the Calhoun Guard, Captain Dawson, were en
camped, tbeir tents being pitched in a most pleas
ant apot, and the soldiers were busily engaged
iu at'ending to tbeir du'ta*. They are employed
in guarding so important road. The Chester
field, after discharging her freight at thi* point,
proceeded to Fort huiuter. near which port she
used up a part of the dajr iu laying a near tele
graph wire from Fort* Moultrie to Sumter. The
forts in the hay appear to be in excellent condi
tion, and in complete trim to meet the enemy.

K.-yr. They w-re sailing under the,Yankee flag.
Bumbisu Cotton on thk Island—Some plant
era on the Gland* have been led to form the iiu
pression, that the military authorities have for
bidden the burning of cotlou. So far is this from
bei ig true, tbai it is the expreaseu wish of Gin-
Kiphy, (and orders to that tfleet have been is
sued to the officers commanding at exposed
p-.iiit*,) that every pound of cotton which ap
pears likely to fall into the hands of the enemy,
should without delay, b burned.
The Submarine Telegraph Cable, which has
bem in course of construction during the past

yesterday between Forts buruter and Mouhrie,
by Messrs, b eviile, Deuby A Hobbs. When the

wan simultaneously firtd iu honor of the event
from the two forts, the order having been trails
milled from Fort tiuiuter over the wire to Fort

A Bit or War Romance.—A correspondent
of the Clarksville Jeffersonian, writing from Co

from Cairo, with a flag of truce, made a landing
in front of Gen. Pillow’s headquarters. It con
tained a young gentleman and young lady. Tbe
young lady was a native of Port Gibson, Miss.,
and has been going to school at Ctduinbue.Ohic.
When tbe war commenced, she found she could i
not get home, and has boeu waiting several
months for an opportunity to see her native soil.
Finally a gallant young Linculnite (who waa
probably an ardeut young lover, also) proffered
bis services to conduct her to this place. At Ca
iro he procured passes from Gen. Grant, and the i
couple started out iu a skiff, And made tbe trip
down in four hours and a half. Pillow gava the
mao a pass to return. The affair created some
little ixcitement, and furnished the boys some
food for conversation. Tbe young man was the
nicest looking abolitionist 1 have seen for a long
time.**
