MEMPHIS UNDER REBEL RULE—4A PLEA FOR LENIENCY. é [From the Memphis Avalanche, June 15. ‘The condition of Memphis aad the situation of its citi- gens, is one of singular peculiarity fos oe ey It will be recollected thit Memphis bi rthe headquarters of the Confedorate army for the last ter m nth a Compnnten collected for organization and sup- plies gathered for distributions. For a time: it was the arters for commanding officers; at it loans were obtained from the banks, merchants and traders— at it manufactories for all needed articles for the army sprung up. No city within the confederacy furnished more soldiers and means for the war according to popu- jation and wealth than Memphis. Her whole people, witi now avd then an exception, coutributed to sustain the war directly,or indire:tly, In Jue, 1861, only five votes were cust against the secession of the Stute from the old government—showing an unbroken unanimity of semtimont, feeling and conviction. The contest was thon regarded ag a sectional war—of the North against the South—hence the unity of action which exited at that period. Many of the Northern born but resident citizens were of the extreme Southern class at that day. In- deed, so extreme were some of this class of our citizens that we frequently heard their motives impugned for the flerceness of their opinions against their own section of the Union, ‘They were regarded by many as insincere, and to avoid the eye of scrutiny was attributed the harsh and denunciatory terms used by them against the North, and tbe intemperance of their avowals for the section of their adopted hues. Indeed, ‘a0 intense was the sectional feeling that some of the five whore Roman firmuess induced them to cast their last vote to susiain the Union subsequently acted with the State after her vote for separation, aided to build up her armies, gather supplies avd to make open hostility to the federal advance lo fuvade the State, and the tinal subjugation of the South. The truth is, and be it told, Memphis was a unit i opposition to the North; the cur- rent of popular clamor wculd tolerate no neutrality of, position by iudividuals—for er against was the demand. ‘All had to yreld to this torrent of «pinion. Men could not escape by silence, inaction. We, then, assume that our people, almost to @ man, g:e and’ buve been advo- cates, aiders and abettors the rebellion or revolu- tion fer the disintegration of the Union. If none but the guiltless become prosecutors of our citizens, then we shall find no prosecutor amemg our neighbors ; but, that each individual will be loft to consider the do- gree oj his own gin or aberration from feaity and duty to the federal Union, and look to the means of excuipa- tion for himself. We have presented the case fairly avd candidiy,and we trust that each may find in our pre- sentient of it a practical lesson, and by its study one from which he may be* beneiitted. Self-examiation never fails to improve, enlighten aud chasten when made in 9 proper spirity and with the object of uuderstanding one’s real and true condition. We now urge upon cach and all who have participated in our unhappy distractions ly words and by acts, a strict political scruieny of himec's. jie who is guiltless cast at avother the first stone. ‘This being the determination of all, each person wiil fin@ an adgocate and sympathizer for whit our present military rulers may hold as great offences. We are all yuiity. Weare ali in the power of our advereary, We must do the best we can—snvmit to what we cinnot resist or overcome, This is the teuching, to our mind, of true wisdom. But to our object, the condition of atfuirs at present— not political, but business, Our city has been abandoned by the Coniederi w the federais; many and most of the elements and sinews of war have been taxon off or Cestroyed by the Cuniederates before deserting it.
