We conversed on yesterday with a very intel ligent lady and gentleman who bad just arrived 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 It ap pears that alter Fremont was superceded, the work on them cease , owing to a stampede of the mechanics, who re;used to labor without the prospect of pay.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 dispatched to the rstue point.

Fbc took to a neighboring Island a Urge number of abie-bod ied laborers, who were brought here by their owners from Bt.

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.

A Bit or War Romance.—A correspondent of the Clarksville Jeffersonian, writing from Co lumbus, Ky., says: “Quite a romantic little in cident ‘developed’ itself hero yesterday. A skiff 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.** The New York papers say that Henry Ward Beecher purposes to sail for Kngland in a few •lays, for the purpose of delivering a series of discourses in London, Liverpool, Glasgow and other citias in Great Britain, on tbe origin and progress of the American war.
