of fifteen, whom I remember, fought all day in advance of his regiment, and never retreated. Taking his position behind and creeping from bush to bush he kept up a steady fire from his rifle, until he had expended forty cartridges, and then robbed the body of a Yankee for a fresh supply. His clothes were absolutely cut to pieces, and yet, with the exception of a slight scratch on the arm, he escaped without a wound. Col. Preston Smith, who fought so gallantly at the head of the -- Tennessee regiment, has been brevetted a Brigadier. Other promotions were made on the field by Beauregard; and there has been, so it is said, a system of advancement adopted whereby the humblest soldier may, by meritorious conduct, rise from the ranks to the highest offices. This is as it should be. Promotion made the French army, gave Napoleon half his strength and successes, and the sooner the rule is applied here the letter it will be for the common cause. The wounded are generally doing w

From the West. [Special Corresponding of the Dispatch.] Memphis, Tenn., April 15, 1862, Affairs here look unpleasantly blue. The enemy are doubtless besieging Fort Pillow, and with the fall of that stronghold the fate of Memphis is likewise decided. Yet there seems to be no excitement, no panic, no alarm such as has been experienced in every other city threatened with Federal occupation, and the people are grimly awaiting their doom. The fall of Donelson and Nashville has made eir families from the State and give up all to "one fell blow" A thousand absurd rumors are in circulation concerning the threatened advance of the enemy; and it is conceded that, with their iron plated gunboats, they can at any time pass Fort Pillow and descend to Memphis. One of these statements is that word has been sent here to the effect that if the stores of sugar and cotton are burned, the city will be also burned. Another is that the Federal, if permitted to occupy Memphis, will

There prisoners were all in the best of spirits, shouting and yelling with perfect delight, as if they revelled in the idea of exchanging their Northern servitude for a Southern prison. Many of them were from Indiana and Illinois, and the general sentiment expressed was that if the Lincoln Government attempted to carry out the scheme of emancipation that had been pronounced, at lease three-fifths of the Western men would lay down their arms and refuse to serve.

Yet there seems to be no excitement, no panic, no alarm such as has been experienced in every other city threatened with Federal occupation, and the people are grimly awaiting their doom. The fall of Donelson and Nashville has made them callous, and not until the volcano has yawned beneath their feet will they be aroused to the critical character of their condition. It is not to be inferred from these remarks that the Tennesseeans are not loyal to the Southern cause. On the contrary, no hearts are warmer or truer in the devotion to the Confederacy. Sixty companies have gone from the little city already, and to day even the old men are in arms. But there are large domestic interests at stake. Much valuable private p
