Good News --The following intelligence will be read with interest: Memphis,July 12--Our fellow-citizen, Capt. J. C. McManus, the owner of the Vicksburg Mail Line of steamers, left New Orleans on Tuesday, and arrived in this city yesterday.

It is not intended by calling out the militia in the counties of the North-side, to put a stop to the raising of volunteer companies.--These will still continue to be received for twelve months o
