An incident
--A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal relates the following incident of a recent expedition up the river:
"I must not forget an old soldier who at one of the points on the river came on board the boat.
He walked up to General Pillow, and taking him by the hand asked him if he knew him. The General thought he knew his face, but could not call his name.
Said he, 'I am the soldier who shot the Mexican who was slipping up on you to stab you in the back.' Tears flowed freely on both sides — neither could speak, but shook each other's hand and separated."
Valuable prize.
--The Memphis Appeal, of the 2d inst., says: We learn that a dispatch was received last evening announcing that the steamer D. P. Cheney had been captured by Gen. Pillow.
The Cheney is a superior craft, and has been employed as a ferry boat between Cairo and Columbus, The prize is a valuable one.
