Straight Abolitionists,
Heretofore we have quoted from a certain
Martin F. Con cay, (Abolitionist member of
Congress in the enemy’s country,) his opinion
that the war should bo relinquished, and the
Union along with it, seeing that it was a war
for Union alone, and not for “human freedom."
Mr. Conway, for bis part, and on the part of
the extreme Abolitionists, sees no good in the
Union if slavery is to be preserved. Accor
dingly, be writes a letter to the Now York
“Tribune,” from whioh we extract these in
structive passages:
The war for the Aitcre, therefore, becomes
simply an instrument in the hands of political
managers to effect results favorsbls to their
own personal ends, and unfavorable to the'
os use of freedom.
Wh*t matters it that a few regiments of ne
groes, more or loss, under white offioere, are
suet into the field ! What matters it that the
President's edict of Emancipation is printed
in Little and Brown’s eiition of the United
States Statutes at large T Is Riohmond ours?
or even Vicksburg ? Does not the Confedera
cy atill stand Arm and defiant, and does it not
promise to stand so in the futnre T - And
above all, u not the Presidential election ap
proaching ?
It is now assumed that the Union is so ob
ject paramount ovsr all other considerations,
and we are told that it must never be relin
quished.' We are asked to adhere to the war,
not because it gives us successful schievments
in the field, but for the' reason simply that
otherwise we give up the Union. We are told
also that the institution of slavery, like ail.
other institution* (vide N. Y. “Times” of to
day,) is of minor importance, ono way or the
other, compared with tbe Union; that it must
give wey or not give way ; be destroyed, or
granted a new learn of life, with increased
power, just as the exigencies- of tbe Union
msy require. And to this doctrine that life
long abolitionist, Gerrit Smith, and that zeal
ous Republican, Mr. Raymond, and that emi
nent Democrat, Ur. VanBuren, all alike as
sent. Since the deportation of Vsllandigham,
it is supposed that this is to. be the mongrel
Democratic platform for tbe next Presidential
SOUTHERN CON FEDERACY
ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1863,
Now, Mr. Editor, I desire thus publicly,
an I from tbe beginning, to announoa my em
phatic wish to ba counted out of any such ar
rangement. I went into this Anti Slavery
ba*in<sa earnestly, and on fie presumption
that I was acting with honest men—men who
hated slavery, and were determined to cast it
out, oome what might. I And that as to ma
ny I have been deceived. I And that these
men want power, and otra for nothing else;
and that for the sake of power they would kill
all the while people of the South, eir take them
to their arms; that they would free all the
slaves, or make their bondage eiiil more hope
less ; or do any other inconsistent and wicked
thing. I have no sympathy whatever with
such an unhallowed lust of dominioj.
As to the Union, I would not give aoent for
it unless it stood as a guarantee for freedsm
to every man, woman or child, within its ju
risdiction. 1 consider the idea that every
thing most be eacriAoed to the Uolon, utterly
prepoatoroua- What was the Uaionmake fer

The Tribune, commenting npoo this, observes that
Conway tails to perceive that tbe success of the war
for tha ‘•Union” is, la eflbct, a war against slavery-
no matMr what pretexts and pretenses may he ased la
its progress henaase its success |most necessarily
destroy thst institution. Soys tbe Tribune:

State Rights—Tite Ksd of trie War.
Tbe war which the Yankees are now making on ns
is laoner disregard of all Stale right* and without the
•lightest wsiyaot in th* Constitution of tha United
Stales. If the doctrine of State Bights, which is older
than the Union sad plainly recognised in tbe Constitu
tion. hid bees regarded ly the fanatic* «f the North,
who are now ia power, there would have been no war
on account of seceenon. If this doctrine, which was
the very piller npon which the whole federal fabric
was erected, had been sacredly respected by those who
made war oa it for over thirty yean, there never would
have baon say secession or even any dissatisfaction on
the part of the States *The Constitution clearly de-
Coe* tbe right* of the Slates, yielding equal and exact
justice to all; and if there had not been continual ef
forts, to the part of the State, of one whole section,
to infringe npon and cartall the righto of tbe States
and people of another section, the bickerings which
Uave existed lor more than thirty year*, finally culmi
nating in disruption, followed by an unholy and an
on thorixed war, would never hove been beard of.
The Conrtitutioo was nothing more than a compact,
ao agreement between sovereign and lndepedent State*
to set together for oertsin purposes. The people of a
Whom section constitntlaf a majority of the States, re
peatedly di.regarded and encroachrd upon the rights
of tbs Stales and the psopteof the other sect’on; con-
HequentfjCthey rescinded (and repadiated the compact-
They formally and in their sovereign capacity with
drew from and annulled the agreement they bad enter
cd into; they receded. This they hod tbe same right
to do—thst they had' lo enter into the compact. It
was one they went into of tbeirowo accord, and wbicb
they bad the same right to abrogate, of their own ac
cord, and to leave, unmolested.
But tt is not surprising that those who would, while
w« were in the Union, for tbe take of ungodly gain, de
liberately infringe upon our rights, would alto from the
tame ungodly spirit of covetousness and a desire to
plunder os, make war on ns withoot authority In law or
proy.-cationin fact, to force ns again within their svan-
ciooa grasp.
This la at ons glance the came and the nature of the
whole contest. It was brought about by a disregard of
■he rights of States on the port of the North, and we
seceded and accepted the consequences in vindication
of this time honored and >acred doctrine. It was to
prooervs this sacrcJ right—that of Stito sovereignty—
that we’repudiated the compact which the North hat
often disregarded any trampled upon. Wo esteemed
this doctrine dearer to ua than tbe Union; dearer than
life iueif. This is the estimation in which tbe people
of tbe South held tho rights and independeh-c of tho
States. This high estimate is not misplaced; it is our
only safely—opr only guaranty of perpetual liberty.
When will this war on ns cease r It will be when th*
Northern. States and people re tarn to tbe doctrines and
views of onr fathers—when they acknowledgers doc
trine of Sta’e rights; when they concede to the States
tbe rights and prirl'eges guaranteed by IlieUonstlia.
tion, and consent to allow them to exercise (heir clear-
iy defl ned prerogatives at all times.
Whenever the Northern mind shall consent to let
us alone, in the exercise' of onr right to leave the
Union, then the war will cease That day is con’ng.
It may be in the distant future, and It may be much
nearer, than we suppess. Already we see some
signs of it which are more or less promising. The no
ble Vsllandigham has,from the first proclaimed,in and
out of Oougreas, that tbero was no authority or warrant
In the Constltat’an to make war on sovereign States.
Until recently his voice was not heard. It was drown
ed in the clanior for war on the rebels; but the dint of
rebel steel and courage has tamed the hearts of many
to his wise counsels, and opened the ears of many
who were previously deaf to hi* warnings. Psblic men,
io public addresses, quite a number or th* newspapers
the people assembled in public meetings and party
State conventions—ah, a'l are speaking out and eon-
demniug the war as unjust and without warrant in th*
ComtituUon, as well at most wantonly nowise and
cruel.
The most notable of these la the ltie Peace Con
vention in New York, which was attended by
30,900 persons from all parts of the State. It declared
that the people owed fealty to the Constitution and to
tbe State; that there is no power to coerce a State by
military force; and thatjtbe war is contra y to the
Constitution and should cebae. Occasionally men.are
imprisoned or exiled; or newspaper* suppressed, but
these are only fuel to the flame.. It will increase. The
boll will poll on till those wbo have made war on the
rights and sovragnty at States are overwhelmed.
How long it will be belora this is accomplished no one
can now predict; bat it is th* nndea*—the germ that
Is to end the. war. It was a disregard of State rights
thst forced the South imo secc.a'on; a trampling un
der foot of this same doctrine, that brought on the
war; end the re-establishment of this principle will
end tbe wan and in tbe move tents and events alluded
to above, we find the seed that will ose day ripen into
this very desirable fruit.
And now wo ask, ought not the people of the South
to priae more highly than any other political consid
eration the doctrine of State rights t Should they not
Vindicate it with'their lives, and if need be let ell of
onr property be sunk,-and tbe last one of our race be
blotted eut in defense of the rights and the sovreignty
of States I Let it never 1 e yielded under any plea
whatever. Let Georgians forsake and repudiate all
other causes and considerations, if it be necessary, to
maiota'n, intact, the sovereignty of our great Slate.
The only way for us to succeed is by afirmadhere-
ice to principle—a stubborn and unyielding defen-e
of Uie principles for which we boldly entered into tha
conflict. Men always succeed by standing op for and
defending the rignt and adhering to correct princi
ples, though the heavens bn. Success gained by any
other means will not bo durable, and any: present at
tainment by resort to any expedient at a sacrifice of
tbe fandamental principles ef eternal truth and right,
will be of short duration. It mey even turn to ashes
upon our lips; it will, certainly entail a train of evfia
that will lead ns In thegnlf of rain and lose ui mil.
How sod then, in view of all these facts, so potent
to every observing man, to find a few among us sneer
ing at State rights and State sovereignty, and scoffing
at those who advocate this doctrine, which is onr osly
hope—onr only salvation, our only security for perpet
ual liberty! Wacoqjure our people, aa they value lib
erty, to maintain Stata rights and sovereignty, and pat
down those who spurn or disregard them. Without
these we might as well have submitted to die Yanhees
at first we will be mine .'. Mai stain it, and we pre
serve^ the brat possible form, our greatest power, oar
prosperity, our liberty anl th* rights of individuals.
Tske a lesson .from the terrible ordeal that not only
wc, but .the people of the. North, are now passing
through, end will yet past through, before they will be
content to let no alon-. If this great. principle is ac
knowledged, established and.respccted by an, Ihwe
i ao strife, or wars, or secession among tbe
States. If it IS net rega-ded, wars, blood shed, separa
tions, and all their concomitant evils are Heritable
and will come. Let every mao guards* jealously tha
right* and sovtreigaty of his Stale as he would his
re moral honor and tbe honor and fair tarn* of
his wife and children.

Dear Confederacy:—''Tiaraid “that distant:
lends enchantment to the view.” I deny it
No man in his senses that starts on a journey
of several days, with a pone of oorn bread and
a little salt bacon in his haversack, no pros
pect of a feather-bed or mattrasa for the night,
several inches of rain on the gronnd, and' a
hard, rocky pike to walk on, can endorse that
maxim as he trudges on, his eyes constantly
looking to see tbe final termination of a long,
straight road. And then the uncertainty ot
his destination, an occasional discharge of
signal guns, with now and then the report of
shells or small arms on the right or left, in
ray opinion has very little enchantment about
it. It may be exciting to some people to go
on long marches; it may create enthusiasm
among our friends at home to read of our en
durance, the trials and hardships of the sol
dier, but if the admirers (distant onos I mean)
of our comrades inarms could but see the wea
ry soldier when ho has finishe d the long jour
ney, his form bent from the fatigue, and his
nervous system agitated, they would be in
clined to offer more sympathy and less exulta
tion and enthusiasm. If they were standing
by, as the oft repeated order of “close up, close
up 7” comes growling from the officers, they
would wonder and say, “what endurance,
what fortitude.” They had better say, “poor
fellows.” *
However, the soldier of the Southern Con
federacy ia a machine, whose power of 1000-
motion is taxed only to a certain degree, for
like all other engines, if there be too much
friction, the min machine halts, stops, and

This puppet machine is to constructed that
the slightest nod or word causes it to fall into
line with its other companions, puts on its own
knapsack and gun, having previously cooked
corn bread and bacon, answers to its name,
faces to the right or loft at a command, and
marches arouad the stags to the infinite de
light of the audience. And then it has never
complained at this repeated attack to amuse
the fashionable auditory, but it is so moulded,
aud its peculiar construction is so admirable
that it lives and movos and has its being at the
will of the manipulator. It even eats bard
bread without assistance, great ears being ta

confined first to the common jail and-af terward*
to the upper stories of the Court House. As
Vickoborg must be.toourannalsapoint of greet
interest, we give our impressions ol it; hoping
ere long (o verify with more leisure end liberty
their accuracy. We were, notwithstanding tho
.thundering salute attending our entret, disap
pointed in if aa a fortified position. From an
clovated lodgment, from walks about town, bur
entrance and exit, from conversation and teeti.
moiiy of many knowing persons, wo believe the
strength of Vicksburg in men, gunB, works and
natural conformation to have been.overrated—
The site is .admirable, especially for river do.
fensc. The batteries fronting the river are
neither so numerous nor dangerous as commons
iy supposed. 'Although it is likely thatpuptr.-
lion of tho heavy guns have been tranafered to
Grand Gulf, Big Black, aud Haino’s Bluff,
we guess the number of guns on the river side
to be le. i than forty and never to have exceeded
seventy.
BY TELEGRAPH.
Of these we are informed: only three are,10-
inrb, two 9, and four 8, three/ifled, and the real'
33-pounders. There ia hut one casemeted bat
tery in the vicinity. Tho earthworks are, how
ever, perfect of tfaieir kind. Negroes are still at
work on bomb-proofs and magazines, probably
to guard against mortar shells. A landing from
tho front in our judgment is feasible, though
now happily needles*. The rumored fortifica
tions in the atreets are simple little pits or
Captain Haskins mol.bis death wound thus:
He fired his pistol and wounded a private of
Company F, Filth New York, and ordered him,
with an oath, to surrender, his words being,
“Surrender, von damned Yankee.” The Yan
kee replied, defiantly, that.“he would see him
danfned first,’.’ and turning -quickly in saddle
fired hi* pistol Over his shoulder, inflicting a
wound from which Captain Haskins will nover
recover.
THE REBEL COMMANDER.
- Moaby was in command in person, his force
about 100 ationg, iuclusive of the artillery. The
object of his errand was to destroy the train, for
wbich he paid a. heavy penalty in tho loss of his
artillery (twelve pound howitzer taken from the
federate at tbe battle of Ball’s Bluff,) and in
'the loss of hiB men in killed, wounded aud pris
oners.
THE TROOPS FOUGHT GALLANTLY,
and the Fifth New York ably sustained the
claim to the title oi the “Fighting Fifth ;" nor
were the First Vermonters behind hand; and
if all was not accomplished that was expected,
tho responsibility -rests on the shoulders of tho
negligent officials', to call them by no more se
vere term, who permit such horses to be palmed
off by dishonest contractors on the govern
ment. -
A list of killed and wounded amounting to
eighteen is appened by the correspondent.
' Trie State off the South.
We lay before our readers to day a letter
from Mr. Colbnrn tbe correspondent of the
New York World who passed through this city
sometime ago a prisoner. The florid makes
the letter the text for a long editorial, of
which the.following is the concluding por
tion:
Thu military strength of the Sonth, in Mr.
Colburn’s judgment, has certainly not been
impaired by tho duration of tb- war. . Resaw
evidence enough to convince him that great
masses of military stores had been accumulat
ed. in various parts of the Confederacy, and
that the whole population had flowered into a
nation of soldiers. His comments upon the
strictness with which the military spirit rules
the land alike for evil and for good, upon the
official probity which it exacts, and the indi
vidual recklessness of peace which it educates,
are strikingly significant. What was plain
encu-h before becomes plainer still from his
narrative ; that, beaten upon the anvil of war,
the armies of the South are gaining steadily
in temper and in epriug. While such armies
exist, can he held together and wielded with
skill along the vast frontier of war, it is clear
os tho sun at noonday that no blows struck for
mero geographical or strategical points of
vantage can bring us decisively nearer the goal
of our efforts.
Nut le?s is the strong delusion of starvation
as * war measure disipalcd by Mr. Colburn’s
observations. He found the land everywhere
teeming with cereals, and tho necessaries of
life assured. Fi. onc.al embarrassmflfl)*' I®*,
adequate manufacturing facilities, 'the strin
gency of the blockade may confpire to make
existence uncomfortable in the South, but they
caunot make it impossible, and where life is
there will be hope and patience, even in the
worst of causes. Inspired by passion, enured
to arms, and able at least to live, and move,
and fight, the - millions of the rebellious Soutb
it is once more set before us, must be dealt
with if we are to win them back to the Union
as a foreign people of equal power and spirit
should be. The war against them must be
waged with the highest skill, the sternest ener
gy we can command; but it must be waged al
so under the eagle eye of a statesmanship
which can prepare conciliation in the midst of
conquest, make victory the harbinger of jus
tice, and anticipate the golden moment vouch
safed by Heaven to every people contending
for the right, when the night of force and tbe
d.-.wn of reasoi: first mingle ia the urieni sky.
Address to Mary 1 »»tler«.
General Trimble bos issued the following or'
ders:
Major-.Gcn.-J. R. Trimble having been as
signed to the command of the Valley District of
the Department of Northern Virginia, invites
all citizens of Maryland, in or out of tho army,
to join the Maryland troops now serving in litis
district, with a view to increase the organization
from that State to a body formidable by its num
here and gallantry.
Under this command every Marylander will
have a field for the display ot that devotion and
bravery in the cause of tho South whii h it is
V ell known they possess, but which have hero-
tolore been much obscured by tbeir separation
into almost every brigade of the army.
Marylanders should bear in mind that upon
themselves must rest ihe honor and renown of
bringing their State into tho Southern Confed
eracy, and ot avenging tho wrongs inflicted npon
her sous and daughters by the Goths and Van
dals of the North, wbo, true to the instincts of
their race, have done more outrage to the feel
ings to humanity, to Christian civilization, and
to Christian' freedom, than any nation of this
enlightened age.
Let us hope the day is near when, as Mary
landers, we may do our part to avenge their
wrongs,

Chicago, lane 5.—A special dispatch from
the retr of Vicksburg, dated May 31*t, (8un
day)*aya:
The bombardment of Vicksbnrg continues.—
All our guns in position opened fire at midnight
and continued their fire until daylight. Tho ra-
-‘dity of tffis firing was unparalleled, and it is
ilievetf great damage was done. At ■« .
Twolvo rebets were captured at daylight yes
terday, endeavoring to run through our pickets
and get into the city. Two hundred thousand
dollars found in their possession was captured.
One of the rebels, a boy, came out of the city
Mk IwmmI Allegiance,
shoulders of ramparts projecting into the road
way. The works back of the'city ate ordinary
entrenchments commanding the roads and small
earthworks on the riogea Every hill on the
outskirts is crested witli an earthwork. Judging
from the works at their tenderest point (Big
Black Bridge,) the defenses at the rear are ru
dimentary only. The country is rough, a suc
cession of small hills, to the banks ot the Big
Black, bnt tho roads are pood aud tbe hills each
commanding tho other. Unless by some overs
whelming attack, tbe Confederates might resist
a Urge forco at every roaJ, anil to prolong the
seige. .
STENGTH AND WEAKNESS OF THE
■■■■HHplace.
The very length ol the line, from Warrenton
up tho shores of the Big Black, and across to the
Yazoo, or, what is the same, tho meagren;?*
of their Tnic'esto guard it, is the great weakness
of tho position, tt would require to keep such
a line (twenty six miles) intact, an array of fifty
thousand men and a hundred pieces ol light ar
tillery. I have a grounded conviction, based
upon concurrent testimony, - that at the time of
our sojourn there, were not more than fifty tAous
sand troops west of tie smaller stream gnd six
thousand east. Could all tneso be concentrated
upon one decisive point they might with their
works repel five times their numbers; but a rep
etition ol such a plan of attack on onr -part they
they may never hope for again.
The Confederate hopesof Vicksburg arc main
ly hung npon Gen. Johnston, who arrived at
Jackson on tbe 13th, and was pursued thence
after a destructive fight next day. Hia plan ap
pears to bo to mass a considerable army outside
and drive off the boseigers. Wa do not believe
his intention is tn get inside of Vicksburg, but
to leave that post to Pemberton. It he can do
this. Gran) is,by the double line; front and rear,
placed in u critical position.
GENERAL JOHNSTON AND HIS FOR
.. CE3. /
We have no fears for the result; btM in this
case minutes sre of great moment. To the
three thousand lorces pt Jackson, when wo pas
sed through, Johnston seems to have, scraped up
six thousand additional. .Loring. ia since at
Jackson with his corps, which will leave Grant
with fifteen thousand in his Iront and say twenty
thousand in the roor, deducting disabled and
captured In the three Isle engagements,, which,
from the meagre reports received at Ricmond,
we judge to . be eonaidenble. The extent to
which Johns! in cut be reinforced by way of the
railroad from the Tombigbee to Meridian is fif
teen linndren a day. His army cannot- be sup
plied by that ronte. Vicksburg is provisioned
thirty days only. The country affords’-him per*
hap* a sufficiency oi corn and l'oragc. His com
munication with the rest of the South is preca
rious, and if Grierson be not idle, may be de
stroyed.
General Martin Lulltcr Smith, commanding a
division, is post captain. Major General Forney,
an Alabamian of small reputation, wields one
corps, and General Loring tho other. Lient.
Gen. Pemberton, a pet ot president Davia, of
small field experience, commands the departs
inont. Much and bitter criticism of his compe
tency exists in the South, but I am intormed in
high quarters that tbe selections of Mr Davis
have uniformly proved to be so good, that his
judgment in tn untried caBo is not urgently op
posed. Full General Johnston is the fanning of
ficer, and has been sent to tbe sceno of action
charged with tbe duty of saving Vicksburg. It
is needless tossy thst considerable alarm exists
in the Con'ederscy (or its fall, and from gty near
er and inside views of affairs I see nothing to
bar the way to victory.
- REBEL DECEPTIONS.
U ia astonishing holt long anil how much
tbo enemy has, here os, elsewhere, befooled
and thwarted us by an empty show of strength.
It is admitted by those who have lited in and
defended Vicksburg, that it might have been
taken at any time since the fall of Memphis
with lets force than we have brought ogttiuBt
it. When Farragut first approached it, in
May, 1862, tt was almost delencotess. When
Davis went, iu June, the place was all hut
evacuated. In' December, when Grant was
marching on Grenada, and Sherman attacked
from tho Yazoo river, the rebels had but
thirteen hundred m n ia tho city, wbilo
tho latter was two days tied up at. Millikon’s
liend. By the forenoon of the dsy of assault
they had received nine regiments from Mo-
!-tit's Canton aud JAekfloa.'
At the close of the assault, when we fell
back,the re( ort had spread in the city th .t the
Vanhcus wen: Coming, m.-d m r-e :,r i - .: ■
soldier and civilian, tmgnn to scamper out of
town. The bombardments have not hurt Ihe
city appreciably. It is acknowledge! by tho
Rebelsthat Grant is an officer who goes right
on, blunderinc-, as they say, into fight and
glory. They fear his luck, but pretend to de-
spiao his soldierly qualities. It he takes
Vicksburg, however, and wa confidently be
lieve he will, they must acknowledge either
that the Fates are not on their side, or that he
is abetter General than Johnston. Judging
from the despatches already at hand, he has
gained trsmendons advantages over the Reb
els; has them hemmed in, and will make an
other and grander Dinelson of it, in the which
case he will a second time earn the nation’s
thanks.

We leu Vickstiirg on the Cth f>r Jackson

.Cincinnati, June 4 —Our direct advices ;'rom
Vicksburg aro to Ihe 80th of May. For s ver
al days previous quiet prevailed all along our
tines, broken only by occasional Oannouod-
tag.
The Commercial has a despatch dated the
30tb, saying: Spades are onoe more trumps.
Wo are erecting earthworks to- protect our
men, rand are mining to blow the face ,out of
one or two of the rebgl forts that am unap
proachable otherwise. The idoa of carrying
the plaee by storm seems to be'abandoned.—
The safer and surer plan of starting General
Pemberton into oabmbsion sow finds favor
everywhere.
A deserter came info onr lines -his morning.
He represents that ho was sent by General
Pemberton to communicate verbaliy with Gen
erals Johnson and Loring. Ths former is ■ up-
posed to bo between the Big Black riverand
Jackson. The latter was near Port Gibson.
He represents affairs in the oity as growing
desperate. About eighteen thousand effective
men are there, two. thirds of whom Are kept
ou tho fortifications night and day, and not al
lowed to leave on instant on any pretext.
Gens. Pemberton, Lse, Reynolds;- Stevenson
and others are in the city. Most of tho sick
left the oity before, its. investment. Those
who remain have excavated oaves aqd remain
in them night and day. Valuable merchan
dise in the oity is also stored. 1,. caves from
fear of conflagration. Tho poor aro generally
in their houses. Over ono hundred women
and children hqve been killed by our bombard
ment. The gunboats inflict'd no injury ou

Cavalry horses have 1 eon turned i >ose and
’driffen towards onr tines, owing to the lack o!
forage. There was ammunition enough to .’St
sixty days, with tha single exception t t diu
caps.- These were scarce. AJi tonlidemly
expected superhuman efforts to be made by
those outside to .raise the seige. They consid
er Vicksburg tho strongest place in tho Confed
eracy. V ' -
General Blair lias met no enemy in force, and
Ihe reports of Johnston being near aro disbe
lieved. A cavalry recon nciesance three days ago
discovered a small force, aud had one .pan killed
and four wounded.
This morning tbe heaviest cannonading oft he
seige was kept up without intermission for near
ly four hours. New batteries have lately been
pnt in. position, and one hundred and fifty guns
are playing oh the city.-
At daylight this morning the' firing was rapid
bayond belief. The reports of the guns along
thd whole line avaraged one per second ‘or min
utes logelhcr. Tho roar of the heavy-seige guns
was awful,-and the earth was shaker by the
concussion. .
Our wounded are removed to hospital boats
in large numbers and transported to Memphis.

Through tbe politeness of ra friend, we were

to be tho very latest from Vicksburg:
Cairo, June *5.—The despatch boat (ten.
Lyon, from Vicksburg, which she left on Mon
day night, has arrived. The firing was kept up
all of Monday. General Sherman’s troops, on
the right wing, could bo seen in motion.
When the Gen. Lyon left, at midnight, a con-,
fltgnttioa was going ou iu the oity. Some sup
posed that our shells had set the buildibg* on
fire, and others conjectured that tbe rebels were
destroying the supplies preparatory to a surren-
der. ’ /‘r.f
Gen. Grant’s numbers and position will be
