Last evening the whole community hereabout was in a tever of excitement, because we had heard and believed that the rebels, under Gen. Pillow, were moving northward from New Madrid by land and water; bat tonight the army und citizens wore a sort of disappointed look, in -Irauge contrast with that of only one day ago. It seems iat op Jast Saturday morning Gen. Pillow broke camp at New Madrid, and despatehed his cavalry and light artil- lary by the Bloomfield road towards Charleston, His vy gins and infantry were loaded on board a fleet of toy #tcamers, and the pilots had instructions to land at he head of Wolf Island, opposite Columbus. After the snd foreer had started and were weil on their march, snd the river craft were ready to cast off lines, the two scouts who brought the news to this point mare their , and with all speed wended their ways by two ross to Camp Wallace, They left at New Madrid some hers, who bad been arrested for being Union fois, twoof whom escaped on Saturday 1 ju ere Ive or six t, and baye with one day tater news, it some wht hot wh s borthward, and about the timp the fleet wiser a forecs bad pr ceded some to cast off lines, a steamer arrived at New Madrid from Memphis, bringing orders to Gen. Piflow. Immediately couriers were despatched..to the overland party, with ‘orders to return tramediately to Now Madrid; Gen. Pillow personally ordered the work on the fortifeations to be suspended, the pickets were all called in, the returning army was ombarked on ‘poard tho boats, the camp equi- Page was breriedly disposed of, the lines cast off, the boats Fieaded down stream, and by sunset Gen. Pillow’s ‘‘army of liberation’? was en route for Memphis, Indeed,so bur- ried was their departure for ‘‘Dixie” that they forgot to make any provisions for the detention of prisoners, in consequence of which all the Union men suddenly found themselves, greatly to their astonishment and more to thoir satisfaction, at liberty. ‘That the rebels had made provision for a march from Now Madrid to Charleston is evidenced by the fact that they had dug and curbed some fifteen wells between the two points, and also had stored a larg: amount of grain and supplies at different places along the route. ‘What could have been the cause of this sudden change ‘we can only surmise. Some of our officers belicvo it to be only a ruse to divert our attention from some grand but undeveloped plap; others think that the “army of liberation” are ordered to Virginia; but I incline to the belief that tho rebels fear an attack upon Memphis, and that they will concentrate all their forces at that place, at Union City and places along the river. conversed to-night with a gentlemen who left Memphis on Saturday He says that late on Friday night a telegraphic was received there from Louisville, stating that the United States gunboats had got over the bar and were en route for Cairo; that large numbers of troops were being despatched to Cairo, Paducah and Evansville; that the Ubivnists of Kentucky’ were arming and orgabizing for the purpese of joining in with General Fremonvs army, and that a force of seventy-five thousand Unionists: were preparing to march on Memphis. Now, it is likely that upon the strength of such news as this the army of General Pillow was ordered back to protect Tehnessee, leaving Governor C, Fox Jackson to the fate of traitors in Missouri, Jackson'was in New Madrid on Sunday last, and made aspeech to the treops there, where and when he told them that ‘in ten pare he would be with them in the heart of Missouri, intrenching themseives on the sides of her iron mountains, and fattoning themselves with the bovine luxuries of that region.” Guess they won’t meet—at least not in Missouri.

One of my informants says he heard General Pillow gay, ‘tales the iron and lead out of Missouri, and I wouldn’t give a d—n for the whole Stute for the Southern confederacy; and, ‘all he wanted of Kentucky was kor riflemen; ‘the rest, niggers and all, mixht go toh—Jjl and be d—d to them.” Rather a low estimate for these two sovereign Stats, to be sure.

Never within tie memory of the frequenters of the Park did it present such a brilliant appearance as yesterny afternoon, There were more splentidly dressed ladies, more olde gantly attired gentiemen, und a greater varioty of ve, hicles than ever graced the Vark before on the occasion of theopen air concerts. Tho fine afternoon, accompanied as it was with a cool and refreshing breeze, rendered the Vark most attractive. Every one seemed bent upon ‘njoying themselves, and the sight of the thousands of smiling faces that were seen on every side wa, amply suflicient t make a person forget all thoughts o¢ business care, and give hims:if toteily up to the pleasureg of the hour. As usual, the tents were crow:led with ladies and chikiren long vefere the music hat commenced , and by the tlme the indofatigable Dodworth, by a grace- ful sweep of his wani, notified the musicians that the time had arrived for them to commence, the audience had increased to such an extent that the heights in front of the mnsic stand were completely covere? with human beings, while the back growu! was filled op with all mapner of carriages, the inmates enj ying the musig¢ without having to leave their comfortable seats. Tt woukt be impossible to give » fair estimate of the number of those present, as they kept going ani coming by thou- ands; but to judge from a per aneos there could not have heen less than twenty-five or thirty thousane (hers at any one time during the afternoon.
