From West Tennessee.

--Affairs in Memphis--From the Argut, of the 29th, we learn that the Yankee Generals are enforcing the recent order of Hariburt cutting off trade with the country and drafting all the able bodied citizens found in West Tennessee capable of military duty. In an order dated Nov. 19th, Gen. Veltch orders all citizens Hable to military duty in the district of Memphis to report to the enrolling officer within ten days.--"Loyal" citizens are urged to form companies. They will be furnished with arms and equipments upon bond for the safekeeping of the same, and will be subject to the order of the commanding officer of the district, at all times, for "home defence." Those who fall to volunteer will be impressed to fill up existing regiments and batteries. Enrolling offices are opened in all the waids, and those refusing to comply with these orders will subject themselves to arrest and impressment into the service.
