ille. From the Memphis Appeal, of the 27th ult., we copy the following: A gentleman, who left Nashville about ten days ago, and arrived at Memphis yesterday with great difficulty, gives us some later details than we have before had from that quarter. He says that on the 16th inst., there were but 2500 troops in and around the city, $00 of which were immediately in the corporation, and the rest in the suburbs. There was, in addition, one regiment at Murfreesboro, and another at Shelbyville, all belonging to Gen. Mitchell's division. Our informant states that a few days before he left, the "cotton agent" of the Washington despotism proceeded out to Major Tucker's plantation, some distance from Nashville, on the Murfreesboro road, and stole about twenty bales of cotton in the name of his government, and hauled it to the city. It had been concealed, and was discovered by him. But little of this staple, however, had been obtain by the Federal since their occupation of Mi

In the last attack we learn they charged up to the breastworks of the fortifications. The enemy's loss was 130 killed, about 400 wounded. Our loss was 11 killed, and about 30 wounded. The last repulse was an effectual one, and sent the Federal, to use one of their own phrases, "skedaddling." They had not, at our last account, renewed the attack. Gen. Stevenson, who has command of the forces at the Gap, has proved himself the man for the place; and, we learn, possesses the entire confi

has proved himself the man for the place; and, we learn, possesses the entire confidence of our troops. The fortifications have been approved by all experienced military men who have examined them; and as the enemy's gunboats are not likely to ascend the Cumberland mountains, we may hope that this victory — by no means an unimportant one--is not the last that will be achieved by the heroic band who have so long and gallantly defended that post, barring the door of East Tennessee and Southwestern Virginia against the hosts of Lincoln Invaders. Look out for Helper. The Edgefield Advertiser says: A correspondent addressing us from Williamston, N. C., says that the notorious Helper, of the Impending Crisis, is ascertained to have passed through that place recently from the direction of Roanoke Island. A wounded soldier assures our informant that he saw Helper exchange gold for Confederate notes to the extent of two hundred dollars while on the island, doubtless for the pu

The Augusta Constitutionalist, of the 15th instant, says the 19th regiment of South CSouth Carolina State troops reached that place (Augusta) the day previous, on their way to the West to join Beauregard's army, when some three hundred of them refused to proceed any further, upon the plea that they were in the State service and not in the Confederate service; that they had volunteered to defend and fight for South Carolina, at the call of their own State--for that special service, and that alone. The officers urged in vain the reproach it would bring upon the State, which had been forte is irreparably wounded by this wretched business.

Another letter from a member of the garrison says there are about one hundred of the party in Fort Columbus, from which we infer that the prisoners have been divided out among the forts in the neighborhood, and perhaps elswhere. Intruding. The Dyersburg Recorder, of the 19th ult., has the following: Last Saturday night some tugboats belonging to the Federal made a flying visit up the Forked Deer, as far as the old channel, a few miles from this place. After rousing up some of our countrymen, asking some unpleasant questions, promising to "call again," and running their little old boat around generally, they steamed back to the Mississippi.

The bogus military Governor, Andrew Johnson, has been reduced to the necessity of keeping an armed guard at his door all the time, as a protection to hederate money is now current in Nashville at a discount of only fifteen per cent., freely passing at eighty-five cents in the dollar in exchange for notes on all Tennessee . We are informed that the sutlers of the Federal army even take it at this rate in payment for provisions.

Let the subscriptions be taken in money, in cotton, in sugar, in stock, or in lands.
