The Jackson Misatssippian of July 7th gays :
Wears profoundly pained *o learn, as we do on
good authority, that the noble garrison at Vicks
bnrg capitulated las'. Saturday morning, the -1 h
instant. Tiiere *<i no assault from the enemy,
buv some of bis mines were sprang, which ren
dered further resistance useless.
The terms of the capitu ation are that the gar
rison, 17,50 j in number, are to be mored out to
some acceptable point on the Big Black to await
exchange. The officers were allowed to retain
their side arms We had np to this monrnful event
an excess of 39,000 prisoners, and an exchange
will soon be effected
The programme of Gen. Grant, as we learn
from the sntue sourc*, will be to leave a heavy
garrison at Vicksburg, and take the remainder of
his army North, la that case time will be giTen
for Gen Johnston to make his defense of the
State of Mississippi successful
The simple capture of 17,000 of our troops does
not materially injure us, as they will soon be ex
ehanged, but the moral effect produced bv he
taking of our Southern stronghold is greatly to
be dreaded, both among our own and the North
ern people.
A battle near Big Black bridge commenced
July «, about half past 3 F. M , and continued
until 6 o’clock, when hostilities suddenly c.ased.
The tiring extended for a line of three miles. It
is supposed to be an engagement between Oster
baua, who was making a reeounoissance in force,
and Gen. Breckinridges Division. We have heard
nothing reliable of the result. The rumor that
Osterhans was captured was not well founded.
The Yankees sent word to all the planters on
the M'ssissippi river above Vicksburg, wh se
negroes they have taken, to send or come a!.or
tb»ir negro women and children, rtcting that
they cannot afford to feed them any longer. The
negro men they reta n, to be slaughtered m bat
tie I The women and child:an must starve, or be
thrown upon the mercy o’ their owners! Was
there ever such an in'ainong proceeding ?
The Na e ms Courier of July 4th says that
commnnic ition between Mississippi and Texas is
becoming qniet and regular. It announces the
receipt ol a Houston paper in less than six days
time, and the edit r of the Houston paper says
he receired the Natchez Courier in four days and
a h If.
The wat; r in the Mississippi river, opposite
N .tebez. is failing fast. For two or three days
past, it bus fallen fully three feet.
The correepoadent of the Mobile Register writes
from Jackson on June7tb : Our troops and stock
are suffering severely for the want of water.
There is little or none be 1 ween here and the B g
Black, and nnlesi Jihnston can obtain sufficient
advantages over the enemy to enable him to hold
that river, or a portion ol it, he will be compelled
to fall bunk to I’earl river, woere he can obtain it.
The railroad bridge over Pearl river will be
completed this week, and the curs once more run
mng into the city of Jackson. Since the fall of
Vicksburg has been officially announced, the
wagon trains of Johnston have been defiling
through the city to I'eari river. His army is re
ported to be falling back, and his rear skirmish
ing with the en my. 1 hope that Gardner will
bo warned in time to g»t away Irom Port Hudson.
If true that he has whipped Banks off, he will be
enabled to do so ; if not, then look out, for the
fall of Vicksburg leav-s idle u large portion of
Grant’s forces, whose mission is to open the Mis
sissippi river to the Gulf. The people are moving
west, ana the evidence of a general skedaddle arc
plentiful.
The Mr bile Register of the 10th says : Passen
gers by Thursday’s train bring more encouraging
accounts from this new point of interest. They
agree with our telegraph advices, that Gen. John
•ton had determined to give buttle to Grant at the
city, and that all was uctivity in strengthening
the o' rtb works ulready thrown up. Tneie are
_ only rifle pits or eiubaukim n'.s and ditches, which
ulford good cover for our miantry. Our army is
said to ho strong in urtillery, httuiug an hundred
pieces, which would be very efficient in such a de
fense. The troops are in fine spirits, and full of
tight. Johnston’s pontoons were thrown across
the rirer. There was an apprehension tbutGrant
would deoline to uttuck Johnston in his position,
but would turn it by passing some distance above
the city, and there crossing the river. This would
compel Gen. Johnston to fill back.
The Mobile Register’s correspondent writes,
July Bth :
Gen. Joboston could not by possibility, with the
means at his command, have relieved Vicksburg.
All that skill, energy and zeal could do, has been
done, although bis efforts have not resulted as
we fondly anticipated. To have attackei Grant
would h .ve resulted in the sacrifice of the only
army which remains for the protecliin ol the in
terior, while this sacrifice could not have saved
Vicksburg.
Grant occnpied a country with double our
numbers, over which an army could not have
been marched in hue of battle if there were no
toe to meet and dispute its advance. This posi
tion was ohtuined, fortified and defended in every
poasible way, before Johnston had un army with
which be could commence offensive operations.
The garrison wos starved out, and our glorious
boys staggered trom utter exhaustion when they
left the trenches !
Johnston’s movements indicate that he wilt
make u stuud at Jack on and “tight it out.” The
possession of Jackson and the control of the
railroads is a prize worth an effort on bis part.
Mr. Vieztelly, the distinguished Southern cor
respondent of the l.undon filuot* ute-t Nows hen
arrived m Mobtla from Gen. Johnston’s army.
He is on his way to his old friends and com
panions in Gen. bee's camp. Mr. V. describes
the march of Johnston from the Big Blank to
Jaokson as terrible, from the heat and want of
water, lie goes to l’ennsylvunia because ho be
lieves that Grant’s campaign is virtually ended in
Mississippi, and his business is to be where there
are activity and work.

NORTHERN ACCOUNTS FROM PORT HUD
SON.
A letter from New Orlean- to the Tribune,
dated otii June, says : yesterday General
Ranks issued an order for 1.000 volunteers to
make a final charge upon the enemy’s works
at Port Hudson. The 4th and 6th VY isconsin
volunteered, and were repulsed, and afterwards
all, or nearly all, taken prisoners.
The New Y ork Herald contains a long and
full account ol the repulse of the 14th ot June.
The letter is dated “Near Port Hudson, June
17th.” We make copious extracts which we
think well worth the space, furnishing, as they
do, much general information that is new, as
well as the account of the battle.
At early dawn on Sunday, the 14th inst., we
commenced another advance movement on
Port Hudson, with a force which was thought
to be equal to any emergency, but which, as
the result will show, was entirely insufficient
to accomplish the object of the original plan.
The position of onr forces since my last coin-
munication has been somewhat changed. We
now have no centre, but only a right and lelt,
which, joined together, forms nearly a right
angle, completely enclosing the rebel strong
hold on the east bank of the river. Gen. Gro
ver's division is now on the opposite side of
I’ort Hudson, extending a distance of nearly
four miles from the river to the interior, to a
point within supporting distance of Gen. Au
gurs division, which is on the west side of the
rebel fortifications, and extends a distance of
about three miles in the direction of the river,
to within hailing distance of our fleet. Look
ing from the extreme northeastly range of reb
el rifle pits towards the river on thejjpper side
of Port Hudson, a long line of earthworks ca it
be seen glistening witn bayonets, and protected
by a ditch nearly Iff feet in width, and lor the
purpose for which it was built, unusually deep.
Within short musket range enfilading breast
works command every possible approach to
the enemy’s position.
The most accessible approach apparently to
the rebel earthworks, is over a clear field,
about six hundred yards in width, and which
at first Sight, presents Hie appearance of an at
most perfectly level piece of ground. This
spot, however, since our last assault, has been
determined to be, although the most inviting,
the most treacherous place along the entire line
of rebel defences. Our soldiers in their charge
found it to be tilled with deep narrow gullies,
too small to cover a large body of troops, aud
too large to make a passage over them, even
for infantry, barely possible. Horses are out
of the question, aud were not used at this point.
—These artificial ravines are completely cov
ered with fallen trees and vines, which are so
arranged as to nearly obscure them from sight,
and make an advance over them a matter of
extreme difficulty, in our charge upon the
enemy’s lines at this spot, it was impossible for
our soldiers to keep in regular order of battle.
Frequently whole squads of men would sink
out of sight, only to be resurrected by the as
sistance ot their comrades. Down the light of
the enemy's works, all approach to the fortifi
cations is made exceedingly difficult by high
bluff's and deep irregular gullies. The enemy’s
rifle pits are, although bearing the appearance
of very wide constructions, built upon the
most ajiproved mode of engineering skill.
Here, again, fallen trees have been so arranged
as to make it impossible to move arrillery, or
troops in line ol battle. The entire distance of
rebel works presented for reduction are nearly
eight miles in extent,
THE FIGHT.
The point of attack was the extreme north
easterly angle of the enemy’s breastworks. We
commenced preparations ere it was yet day.
The plan ot attack was as follows : 7flth N. jY.
and the 12th (Joan., were detailed as skirmish
ers. The 91st N. Y. followed next in order.
The skirmishers were to creep up to the outer
slope of the enemy’s breastworks, while the
regiments carrying grenades were to throw
them into the enemy’s lines, with a view
to driving them from their position. The
24th Conn., followed, carrying sand bags, to
till up the dick iu front of the enemy’s works.
Next came a brigade under Col. Smith, of the
114th N. Y., followed by Col. Kimball’s and
Col. Morgan's brigades—all held to support
the assaulting force under General Weitzel, aud
which was expected to make a lodgment in
side the enemy’s works, and prepare the way
for Gen. Payne. After the inside of the works
had been reached, skirmishers were to push
forward and clear the way, while both columns
were to be deployed in the line of battle and
move towards the town of Port Iludson, where
a grand citadel, which forms the last means of
defence, is situated.
1 have tiius far been speaking of General
Grover’s command exclusively, and the plan
above given is applicable only to bis move
ments, as determined upon at the time of its
adoption.
About daylight the Seventy-first N. York,
which had been slowly advancing, approached
the enemy’s works sufficiently near to see his
fire. Previously, the columns of the main body
of Gen. Grover,s command were formed in the
woods skirting the enemy’s breastworks. The
twelfth Connecticut, during the ni ,ht, had lost
its way in the woods, and the Ninety-first New
York was ordered by Gen. Weitzel to lake the
place that had been assigned to it, and follow
ed immediately in the rear of the Seventy-fifth
New York. Alter the advance of the Seventy
tilth and Ninety -first regiments, Gen. Weitzel’s
entire command commenced moving forward.
Several days previous, our army engineers had
been preparing a covered way, which extend
ed from the woods where our troops lay up to
within about one hundred and fifty yards of
tho enemy’s position. After the advance had
arrived at the end of the covered way, they
bei'an slowly to push over tho innumerable
barriers that had beefi planted by tho rebels
to obstruct their march. The difficulties that I
have before spoken of concerning the open
field, immediately facing the enemy’s works,
were here experienced. The deep gullies, cov
ered over with brush and creeping vines, were
completely obscured front sight, and were only
known to exist after our soldiers had plunged
into them. Part ot our skirmishers deployed
to the right, while suffering severely from the
enemy’s fire, and a portion of the advance took
up a position on tho left of the point to be at
tacked.
They were immediately followed by Gen.
Weitzel’s column, Gen. Paine in the meantime
advanceing to- aids the enemy's works with
his command further on the leit. It should be
stated that our troops, as soon as they had left
the cover of the woods, which were scarcely
throe hundred yards from the enemy’s breast
works, were subject to the constant fire of the
rebel infantry. A portion of our artillery,
which was planted some distance iu the rear of
our advanceing forces, kept up a continuous fire
at the rebel works. Capt, Terry, of the Rich
mond. with his battery of eight-inch Dahlgren
guns, and Capt. McLaflin, with his battery, a
portion ot the 21st Indiana artillery, did good
execution. These batteties served very much
to protect our troops as they were advancing
to the attack. After our skirmishers had pick
ed their way up to within about thirty yards
of the enemy's works, they sprang into the
ditch, expecting to be able to shelter them
selves under the cover of the rebel fortification,
and keep the enemy down while the regiment
with the hand grenades should advance and
pei form their part of the work iu driving tho
rebels from their position. The portion of the
Toth which succeeded in reaching the ditch were
immediately repulsed and nearly all ol them
were either lulled or wounded. The ditch was
so enfiladed that it was impossible for men to
live long under the murderous fire of the enemy.
The question may be asked why all this was
not kuown before, but I have no time to com
ment.
In consequence of lhe repulse of the portion
of the Seventy-fiftn that succeeded on reaching
the ditch, the hana grenadiers could aceonf
plish but little, iu iaet, although they made
many desperate and gallant attempts to he of
service, they rather damaged than benefited
our prospects of success, for as they threw their
grenades over the rebel breastworks the rebels
actually caught them and hurled them hack
among us. lit the mean time, while the skir
mishers were nobly endeavoring to sustain
themselves in their position, Gen. Weitzel’s
column moved up as rapidly as possible, and
made a series of desperate assaults on the en
emy's works, which for bravery and daring the
history of the war can hardly furnish a paral
lel. At tliis t ine, the sun having fairly risen,
the fight became general. A fog, which ha 1
partially obscured the contending armies, lift
ed and revealed their respective positions. The
enemy were fully prepared for us, and they lin
ed every part ot their foi lincatious with heavy
bodies of infantry. The battle had begun in
earnest, and Gen. Faine's eolumu, as well as
General Wenzel's was actively engaged. Be
fore proceeding further with the details ot the
tight of General Grover's command, it will be
necessary to mention a fact that 1 have previ
ously omitted— namely, that under the gener
al plan of attack, as directed by General Banks.
Generals Augur and Dwight” were to make
feints on the extreme left of General Grover's
position to distract the attention of the enemy
iroui the main assault. Accordingly, before
the engagement became general between Gen
eral Grover s command and the enemy. Gener
als Augur and Dwight had attacked the enemy
as before indicated, on General Grover's ex
treme left. It was not the intention that the
las. named of these force ; should storm the reb
el works, but hold the enemy in cheek while
General Gtover was performing his part of the
works accordingto the original plan, which had
he been successful,, would have opened the
way for the advance of our entire army on Port
Hudson proper, which is surrounded, m it is
understood, by a series of fortifications more
impregnable than any we have yet assaulted.
The light on the part of General Dwight's com
mand was exceedingly severe, and scarcely less
so with General Grover's. General Dwight's
loss in killed and wounded will probably ex
ceed two hundred. General Augur’s losi will
fall considerably short of that number. Cel.
Smith, fell earlv in the action, mortally wound
ed.
The charges made on the rebel works by our
brave soldiers showed a determination to car
ry them at ail hazards; but human bravery on
this occasion was not adequate to the accom
plishment of their object. The most formida
ble obstacle that presented itself as a barrier
to our success was the rebel glacis, which at
the point attacked, had been constructed in
such a manner as to make every bullet tell
that was fired from the rebel breastworks while
our troops were endeavoring to make the as
cent. In fact, the great natural advantages
and engineering ability at Port Hudson have
been rather under than over rated. Brigade
after brigade followed in rapid succession storm
ing the rebel works, until compelled to fall
back under the terrible fire of the enemy.—
They were all eventually repulsed with great
slaughter.
The fighting ceased at 11 o'clock in the morn
ing.
Our total loss in this last attack upon Port
Hudson will probably not fall much short of
one thousand.
Adelina Patti in Chancery. —A detailed ac
count of this disagreement between M'lle Ade
lina Patti and her relatives, is published in the
foreign journals. Her lull name is given as
"Adelina Maria Johanna Clorinda Patti,” and
it is stated that she was born on the ltlth Feu
ruary, 1843 ; that the defendants, Maurice Stra
kosch et al, have pocketed all the proceeds of
her engagements in operatic singing, etc. The
chancery bill filed in the case proceeds to state
that the defendants had acted for many months
past with cruelty and oppression toward her,
and that every moment is watched by her fath
er and ritrakosch, neither of whom will allow
her to communicate with her friends, or to re
ceive letters from ihem ; and they seek to thwart
all freedom of action on her part, and confine
her to certain rooms, and even threaten her
with violence in case of her resistance. They
open her letters without her consent, and retain
some from her altogether.
Maurice Strakosch has also accused M ile
Patti of dishonorable conduct, and ol acts of
which she is totally innocent; by which they
have driven her, as she has alleged, almost to
the verge of madness, and she is represented
as being thereby rendered most miserable.—
She has entered into an engagement of mar
riage with a young Belgian nobleman of fortune,
hiwselt, unfortunately, also a minor, to whom
she is ardently attached, aud who is now in
this country. Her father and brother-in-law
strenuouly object to the marriage, or, in fact,
to any marriage on her part; they being evi
dently afraid that they will thereby be deprived
of the profits of her engagement.
It is now understood that the case has been
settled. The young cantatrice has retracted,
and even gone so far as to deny all knowledge
ol the person who, as her “ next friend,” made
the complaint to the court. It is added that no
doubt now exists that the marriage of Mile
Patti with the Baron will take place.
Gborgia in Danoeb cp Invasion.--The Atlanta
Intelligencer of Satniday pub.ishes an article
warning the people of Georgia of threatened
raids of the enemy. Its information, it says,
comes from the highest responsible sor -ces. We
quote :
The military view taken of the future situation
of Gtorgia is, that she wi 1 be invaded, most pro
babiy at au early day; first, by large parties of
Yar.kee raiders, via Huntsville, on to Rome, on
her Northwestern side, and from some point on
the Eaet Tennessee and Georgia Rail It ad, on
h ; Northeastern side, both with the puipase and
di-aign ot destroying the State Hoad, itie 1: on
works at Etowah, and capturing Atlanta. YVe
have it from the best authority that this is now in
contemp’ation by Kosccrans, and being iu mo
tffin. We are assured, too, by the sums high au -
thority, that all of Streighl’s command have
already reached Rosecrans’ headquarters, and are
preparing for another dash into Georgia, with
large additional forces. Active mililay proposi
tions are now being made to defend the State
Road.
A large force is ready to guard the bridges ;
and t is force wdl be at om;e supplied with suffi
cient artillery to protect them from any, exo-pt
overwhelming forces, that may make u raid on
them. An ffficientaud vigilant officer of the
Slate will make his headquarters at Kingston,
without delay, whose vigilance acd skiff, co-ope
rating too with Gen. Bragg at Chattanooga, may
save the Road from tne incursicns of me euem.>,
come when he will in paities of raiders, and may
save Atlanta also. But we are advised—and we
beg to impress our readers with the iru-ii, that,
what w# write, are the views of able if not the
ablest military officers in the country—that the
situation o! Atlanta and the State Read, conse
quently of Georgia, has become more perilous,
on other accounts, and we have been urged to
appeal to her people from the seaboard to the
mountains to rally t® her defence, aud to be pre
pared to meet any emergency that .may present
itself.
The fall of Vicksburg, it is believed, will enable
Grant to co-operate with Kosecranz, in the latter’s
designs to invade Georgia—not with parties ot
raideis, but with n powerful force. Any intelli
gent, observing civilian must anticipate such a
co operation as well as a military chiei. To de
fend bis present position and Georgia, General
Bragg will do all that man dare do ; and if Geor
gia will only wake up to her own defen. e, giving
that aid to Gen. Brugg which circumstances im
peratively demand, she will be succeKsinily de
fended. We are told that even now, not less
than 1,000 good troops should be near.to, iu tho
vicinity of, Atlanta. The proper authorities, \v -
trust, wdl soon hare them here; lor if Atlanta
falls, the back bone of Georgia, aye, we may now
wr te, of the Confederacy, will be, for a time ut
least, broken.
Augusta and Macon wiil follow in a day, as it
were, and Georgia will be overrun and devastated
by the Abolition vunda s. The picture drawn is
a gloomy, bat truthtni one, and upon the men of
Georgia now devolves the responsibility.
Will they remain idle, waning to be enslaved ?
Will they remain idle and see their towns and
cities sacked, their fields devastated, their negroes
stolen,their homes given oYer to the fi tmes,'them
women insulted and their children made slaves V
Rally, Georgians, to the rescue! Save you :?tat*
Irom the polluting tread of the foul invaders'
Call your public meetings, organize, urui your
selves as you can, and tender your services to de
fend your State to tee proper authorities.
Gen. Bragg's Retreat from Tollahoma —The
New York Times of Jffiydth, has ths iollowing
editorial on the retreat of Gen. Bragg :
The intelligent readers of tho elauorate exposi
tions we nave been enabled to give, in the Tunes’
correspondence from General Koaencrauz' head
quarters, of the mditary situation in Jlid He Ten
nessee, remember that no very valuable results
were predicted from tbe advance that Gen. llosen
cranz has just made. Gen. Rosencrunz himself
doubted the policy of an advance, and for causes
that his march so far appears to have verified.
Our army has reached Tallahoma —the point to
which Biagg’s army fell back alter the battle'of
Stones River—and Gou. Bragg is found to have
again retreated. This is precisely what Gen.
Rosenc.anz feared; and because of winch fear
he did not see tbe military propriety of advanc
ing. Bragg has abandoned Sheioyviiie, aban
doned Tullahoma and the lino of Duck River,
and fallen back, it is supposed, upon OhaUauoogn
and the line of Tennessee River. Our orres
pondent with Gen. Boseneranz, an ie paiing the
occupation by tbe Union urmy o! tho enemy's
Duck River line, in a letter written J une the Bth,
asked :
“What is Shelbyville T What is Tallahoma?
What the line of the l)uek River ? Noth ng—ab
solutely nothing! They are nether points ci
man«*uvre, nor geographical objective points.
The rebels are not brought a step nearer destiue
tion than before. They retire to anew aefl stroug
er line along the Ttn-aessee iu the vicioity
of Chattanooga, and we have the barren victory
of thirty additional miles added to our already
too deep line. If anything, we are worse off
t.an before.”
In a subsequent ie’ter, written Jane 24th, onr
correspondent stated that >he “sound beats” pi
Gen. R jociicrans’ army Lad little hope of getting
a decisive engagement out of Gen. Bragg, at Tul
lahoma, er on the line ot Duck River, though an
advance upon that position was about to be made.
It was thvught that Bragg would ta 1 ba.es. to 11-
duce Rosencrans to extend his lines by pursuit,
&nd then wo ’ld assume the offensive by attaching
the communications of Gen. Rosencrans, with ’.he
hope of driving the latter back even to Nashv.iie.
But there was uo danger of our capable and cau
tious commander falling into any such trap sand
it was clearly advised iu out corresponden ts
second letter that if Bragg did fall back from
Tnllahoma, the country “should not indulge in
expectations of much in the way ot pursuit. ’ foe
plain reason was, Gen. Rosencrans did not Lav
armv enough to guard his extended lines of com
munication, and also at rck Übattanooga, which
is natnrsliy one of the strongest poin.s of the
Confederacy.
Os course, at this distance we cannot predict
what new developments the actual progress of the
campaign will make—whether wili be
induced to proceed in, or withdraw trim a cam
paign that did not at the (.art promise him any
definite results. Bat, judging from what ourc r
respondent has communicated, the p ibab.hty
would seem to be that Gen. Rcsecrans will now
hold the line ol Dnck river till the grain crops of
Middle Tennessee are garnered and marketed, so
as to deprive Bragg of their use, and then he will
aiopt such a plan of action as tae ex gencivs oi
the case may demand.

sanguinary conflict repulsed them.
