A Southern merchant R in Caiso.

--Mr. G. A. Faulkner, a merchant from Mount Vernon, Ark., arrived here yesterday from Paducah, via Cairo. He states that he reached the latter place last Monday afternoon, and when passing from the steamer Tom Scott to the railroad packet, he was assailed by half a score of Federal troops, who, after subjecting him to a rigid interrogation as to the sentiment prevailing in the South, and the strength of her troops, wrested from his possession a handsome Colt's navy pistol and $83 in gold, all the money he had. On asking them to leave him enough money to get home with, they rudely told him to go to h — I, and get home as best he could. Mr. Faulkner took the precaution to sent his goods from Louisville via Paducah. Tennessee river. Nashville and Memphis.--Memphis (Tenn.) Bulletin.
