Wo learn trow a gentleman, who wea e passen ger on board the .Steamer that brought Prentiss 1 Cos., up Hutu Belma to Montgomery, und who h%<t an opportunity of conversing with them, that the prisoners were very jubilant over the propect of a j.eedy suppression of the icbeUion.

Not u Federal soldier is to be see* about the Mississippi and leanessoe depot.” On the o her baud, a gentleman who left the city Wednesday m.miug passed several soldiers a short distance below the city, who seemed to be listlosrtiy walking about, without disturbing paßt>er>-by. The night after they occupied the city, the Kcderals tetuoved . mall quantity ol cotton, . rn and .-ugur from the Mism-sippi and Ten 1.

In conversa tion with * i -omiuem gentleman, Oil. Fitch boasted that thay weald have a force of fifty thousand men, for the purj ose of .q era ting South, making Memphis the base of operations. The movements he, indicated would ho down th Mississippi Central, via ‘iran.i Junction, so a* to cut oil all the country Utween the Central aud the river, which b thought would leave tbe navigation ..f the rivor uudi-torbed, and give th- 1 North the trade of the gr t r j.rt of Mi* *i-oippi.

With the evacuation of Fort Pillow followed the foil ot Memphis, otic: a gailaut hut unsuccessful defense above the city by our cotton ffeet, under Gen. JefT. Thompson and Capl. Ed. Montgomery. Wo had hoped that our government would hold the river above Memphis as iong as wo kept the enemy at buy here; hut it has seen fit to do otherwise, uud now’ the contest for this important stream 1* almost closed. VW had a perfect confidence in the ability of our force* here (o rend any attack of the enemy's wooden fleet from below, but we cannot expect them to successfully cope with u combined attack (rout above and below. All tbe ‘ither towns on the river hnve fa lieu nt< > their baud©, and now their whole force will be concentrated here. Our city urust, tucreforo, we think, soon Tall into the hand* of the enemy, aud coaae quciitly it rw*hooves the people to calmly con template the realities around them. Civil, political and individual liberty uil not ouiy he destroyed, but nil traces of freedom oblitera ted. Conquest, booty, revenge and destruc tion of our institutions urr the motives which animate the miserable hordes which are now cloeiur in arouud ua. Tb*c who intend to remain here under the rod of tyranny mu.it make up tyoir minds te go through a lisry ordeal, for when the foe get* full possession of the city he will “put the foot down llrmly.” Every uiau roust in thane trying time* judge and act for himself, pursuing that course which a free, educated, high spirited jmd ebival-* rio people, struggling against great odds for the preservation of their birthright of land and liber ty, should aud always do pursue. But wo would remark that all should gusri well againsttbkiug the oath to support the Fed* era’ government. Let none prove so icereunt to our oause—none to far forge> themselves as to bn forced to svrear allegiance to a government so obnoxious to every Boutborn heart. Sooner would we welcome our wiuding sheet—eoouer would we suffer inoarcoration iu a dungeon, and allow our boons to rot there than swoar allegi ance to the Yankee government and its suppor ter - in their unholy crusade. Wo would advise all men, of all classes, to let no idle tears take possession o! them. The man who fear’ ceases to be a man, ana ute people who doubt endanger their cause. Energy and concerted action, with brave spirits and gallant leaders, will yet secure for our people all they de sire. Liberty is not to he purchased in the market ot venal, political gamblers, hat with the best blood of the land. All will yet be safe, if we oon duct ourselves with calm resolution, sustained fortitude and mutual confidence.— YicJflmry Whig, 1 Hh. _ Ih’ UuWind Tii-iThlmlm, Si:, The iti'olligenee from the line* of the oppos ing armies yesterday was barren of all interest. On our side the usual tiatu < was preserved, but McClellan was reported to >* lulling bade from hit original position occupied after the battle, hut the only reasonable ground upon which this presumption was based was the fact that the ad vino* J pickets of the eutuny were withdrawn at Afivera 1 points. There was no firing of moment throughout ibe day. There was nothing additional received yester day at the War Department euuoerning General Jackson's recent victories and his subsequent movements in the Valley. We converse! last night with several of the pickets on the lines, aDd they state that It was the general impression that MoClellaa was ta king up another position several miles removed from our lines. They could distinctly bear much confusion in their camps and the rumbling of cannon carriages and wagons struok on the eat occasii nally daring Wednesday night sad yester day morning. The position assumed, if he has really moved baok, la evidently one fortified un der the cover of Yankee pickets and batteries advanced several days ago.

Louisianians! will you suffer such foul con duct of your oppressors to p h*s unpunished?— Will you permit such indignities to remain uo avenged? A mind so debased as to he capuble of conceiving the alternative presented in this order must be fruitful of inventions wherewith to pollute humanity. Shameless enough to .al low its publication in the city, the atrocities rountesancod by it will be multiplied in tha country. Its inhabitants must arm and strike or the insolent victors will offer this outrage'to your wives, your suiters aud your daughters.— Possessed of Now Orleans by mean of his su perior naval force, he caunot penceute ibe in terior if you resolved to prevent it* It does not require a force of imf-osing magnitude to impede bis progress. Companies of experienced woods men in every exposed locality, with their trusty j rifles and shot guns, will his invading ; column.*-. deprive him of hie pilots, and assure hitu he i’ bn the country of au enemy. At proper points larger forces will be collected, but every man can be a soldier to guard the ap proaches to bi he tue. Organize then quickly. - If your enemy attempt tu proceed into the in terior let his pathway be marked by his blood.- It is your homes that you have to defend. It is ! the >ewel of yonr hearths, the chastity of poor won.en you have to guard. Let that thought animate y*>o r breast, nerve yoararms, quicken yout energies and inspire your resolution.
