GRAPEVINE NEWS FROM VICKSBURG.
TLo Western lint? has been down a day or
two, but if the wirqs were up wo have no great
confidence that we should be the wiser. Mean
while, in tho absence of more reliable informa
Uon, we have verbal reports which came both
by tho way of Montgomery and Atlanta, that
another grand Yankee assault had been made
on Vicksburg, resulting in the substantial an
nihilation of the assaulting party, pretty much
all of whom weio either killed or captured.—
This action is said by one of the reports to
have taken place on Wednesday,- and by the
other on Thursday last. The enemy who, after
the attack of last Saturday week had fallen
back to the Big Black River, are saitf to have
advanced in three columns.
By order of Gen. Pembertion thoy were al
lowed to pass the two outer lines of defence
and fire was withheld until they had come op
to within seventy yards of the third line, when
suck a tempest of grape, cinnistor and rifle
balls opined on them that thoy were literally
mown down by thousands, and the lew - who
escaped the dreadful slaughter did it by hug
ging the bo$oin of mother earth. Twenty
thousand men, says grapevine, were either cap
tured or immolated in this frightful carnival
of death. Another grapevine says the whole
assaulting party fell into a trap prepared by
Pemberton and were enfiladed by a iutfrde'rous
lire, which has no parallel in modern warfare.
No avenue of cscapo was open and twenty-
five thousand Fcderals were killed and cap.
tured in a very few moments. Such and so
eloquent is grapevine.. If he tells the truth
Grant’s 80,000 with which die entered Missis
sippi are fizzled down by this time to less than
half the number.
. On. the whole, we are inclined to believe
that there may have been a fight at Vicksburg
. last week, and that the enemy were destruc
lively repulsed. For the rest wo will pail
confirmation by the army wagons. -

Toox the Oath.—We learn from paroled pris
oners just returned from-tho North,- that upwards
of oae hundred of our men who were captured in
the battles around Fredericksburg, recently took
the oath of allegiance to tho Lincoln government,
aid of oourae were allowed to remain under its
beneficent protection. Upon closer inquiry, how
ever, wc .ascertained that very few, if any of
them, were native born Southerners. They were
mostly Northern men proft-iting Southern princi
ples, and forcigncr8,nll of whom had enlisted in the
army in order to make their escape from amongus
more easily. They are such men as we can very
readily spare, and will be the betteroif by gettin

Mb. Editor: As it will not be very long
before the people ol the 4th Congressional
District will have to choose a man to repre
sent them in our Congress, we would confi
dently suggest tbo name of our valued citizen,
Col. L. N. Whittle. His high intelligence,
sound business capacities'and ardent zeal for
hi3 country’s cause, all entitle him to the posi
tion. No man would fill the duties of that
place more ably and more honorably.
I^t the people not forget that he has devoted
his talents, time, and nearly the whole of his
income to the support of the Government. As
a Christian he is devout and earnest, as a gen
tleman, noble, affable and generous. What
ho has done for his people he did without
thought or hope of reward. Remembering
this, 'let them come up as one man and cast
their Votes for him. Justice,
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESSMAN FOR THE
SECOND DISTRICT.
Mr.'Editor: Allow me to suggest a man suitable
for this position. It should be, and "I hope, the.deBire
of the citizens of this district to select a man capa
ble and desenring. We need "a man who has the
head to-know, the heart to feel, and the nerve to do
his duty, regardless of vulgar olamor. Such a man
is Wm. E. Smith, Esq., of Albany. A self-made
man—he understands and loves the duties of prac
tical file. He was among the first who responded
to the call for volunteers, having gone with the first
company from his connty as 1st Lieutenant in the
4th Georgia Regiment. Having had the misfortune
to lose a leg in one of the battles around Richmond
he has been compelled to retire from the command
of the company, of which he was Captain. I know
that Captain Smith would scorn the idea of obtain
ing this position, or any other as a pharity, still I
deem it only just and' proper to mention this much,
feeling that those who know him best will agree
that he has both the head and the heart to make
him the man for the occasion and position. Capt.
Smith has never been clamorous for office, and this
is written by one who has known him well and long,
and without his knowledge. Lzz Couhtt,

Joseph Clisby, Esq. : I am staying up here on
the Sand Mountain a few days, traipsing over the

of water home at night, and can walk as lithe now
np these hills as if I had been nsed to them all the
while. I send you some specimens of Sulphate of
Iron used up here for coperas, and a small specimen
of Sulphate of Uaguesia, (Ep. Saits.) and a small
grain or two of something like Saltpeter. The Ep'
som Saits is formed or granulates on the ground un
der a very high cliff of magnesian limestone on the
Lookout Mountain. .Thera aro several caves in the
fills here, and if I have time to make some Saltpeter
1 will send yon enough to put in your salt. There is
plenty of lead ore, and I want to get a few speci
mena before I leave fop Southwestern Georgia:

Alter Writing the above, I find the grains I sup
posed was Nitre was Salt, and that the Salt, to use
the words of a little boy, spews up like frost in the
cracks of the rocks in large quantities, and the cop-
eras ora is near the Eame~place, and the galena
abundant in the neighborhood. I want to go up and
get some of each in a few days, and will leave yon
some specimens as I go through Macon.
Gadsden was not burnt, as we heard. As I went
fromGadiden to Big Wills Valley, I wa3 told that
Big Will was full of Yankees, but fonnd'none.
Yours, respectfully, Chancellor.
, COCTON. .
There has been a marked decline in the Northern
market within the past few days, the fall being fif
teen cents within three weeks. During the winter
and early spring it ranged from ninety cents to one
dollar per pound; ana U now selling at fifty-five
cents. There is very little doubt that this fall is ow
ing to greatly increased supplies of the staple, fer
it is not possible that it is predicated upon the an
ticipated speedy termination of the war. There are
no other causes that could effect the market so sen
sibly, and it is reasonable to suppose that this influx
of cotton is due partially to Banks’ successes in
Louisiana, and that there is much hard truth in the
following statement of an army correspondent of a
Northern paper now in Banks’ command:
It is estimated by those who have the means of
knowing, that at least two hundred thousand bales
of cottcn will oome to this market out of the coun
try recently occupied by our forces. This is &
very Urge amount; but I see no reason why it
should not he so. General Banks is determined to
make the most of his conquest in every way, and I
can see clearly that this campaign will tar more
than pay expenses. Louisiana is conquered ;-it is to
all intents and purposes ours and Jeff Davis may
make up his mind fully that Bach is the case, no
matter how disagreeable the dose may be.
There is another source of supply with w)rioh we
have immediate concern, and we presume there can
be no doubt of the correctness of our information in
this particular. The publio are veil aware of the
large shipments of cotton that are constantly being
made from Liverpool and New York and Boston;
and the quantity so shipped must almost necessarily
hear proportion to the amount carried out to Eu
rope by blockade runners from Confederate ports.
That amount has increased very considerably of
late. These shipments to Yankeedom, however,
are within the legitimate channels of trade, and be
yond our control and concern.* It is not at all pro-
cable that cotton could be so delivered in quantity
sufficient to affect very materially the prices cur-
rent in Northern markets, with the several freights,
cost of transhipment, and brokerage, added to the
original cost per pound. If necessity compels the
Yankees to pay 90 or 100 cents, and they are willing
to purchase at those rates, we need not vex ourselves
about it. It is their loss, and, Indirectly, our gain,
for whatever tends to their dis.ress, impairs by so
much their strength to carry on the war. - - •
If, however, we are permitting cotton to. leave
our ports, with the knowledge and certainty that it
is to be carried direct to tiio- North, and in such
quantities as to sensibly reduc e its market value
there, the fact does not speak wall for the patriotism
of those concerned, or their de fire to terminate the
war. We can render no more acceptable aid and
comfort to the enemy. It has been asserted by some
in high position that the suoceisful clearance of ves
sels for Confederate ports is carried on by the block-
aders, and it was only recently remarked as singu
lar that no such vessels wire- ever.oaptured.—
These vessels sail direct to Nassau, cotton loaded,
and the quantity of cotton so taken has been unusu
ally large within tho past three months. But it is
stated positively that a large proportion of it never
reaches a foreign neutral port; also that a brisk
business in this staple is now going on between Nas
sau and New York. Where does this cotton grow 1
Where does it come from 1 Is it brought from Af
rica or the East Indies to England, and thence to
Nassau, to be shipped to the United States 7 or is it
Southern cotton that has been shipped once to Eu
rope; and is now returned to Nassau, for the benev-
olent purpose of giving remunerative freights to
needy shippers 1 We will not suppose for a moment
that there is any other explanation of thesetolngular
vagaries of commerce. Perhaps there is, though,
ana it may that there are those who can olear away
tho fogk *. .. . —.... '
One thing is certain—no cotton should be permit
ted to leave our shores, except with the positive as
surance that its destination is a foreign neutral port,
-that it is got intended for our enemies.

McClernand's corps charged the rifle-pits and took
more prisoners than their own numbers. Pemberton
burned the bridge and retreated towards Vicksburg,
losing 57 out ol 60 cannon. Grant, building four
bridges, arrived before the town, which he closely
invests. He had opened a line’9f supplies via
Chickasaw bayou, having cut the town off from
Haines’s Bluff, abandoned by tbo enemy, and which
Grant-will occupy. Steele won and holds tho ene

THE WHEAT CROP AGAIN.
From an old and highly respectable citizen of
Atlanta, Mr. Joel Kelsey, who bas just returned
from a trip into South-western Georgia, we have
received most cheering news of the wheat crop in
all that prolific portion of the State. Mr. K. Bays
that the like was never before known to the “old
est inhabitant" there. Fields upon fields'that for
merly yielded cotton, now rewarfl the farmer with
astonishing yields of the great cereal that will
give bread to our people the next year, and espe
cially bread to our army. From a field of forty
acrea, sown by Mr. Wm. Stallings, in Webster
county, we have a sample of the finest wheat we
have ever seen—one of the heads of which contains
one-hundred and fifteen grains, aud is a fair sam
ple oi the whole. We invite our friends to take a
look at it. Between Americus, in Sumter county,
and Preston, in Webster county, Mr. K. tolls us
the finest and heaviest wheat that he ever saw,
was ready for harvesting, and some of it had been,
in that and other sections of Squth-westcrn Geori
gia. The com crop, too, he*reports as very prom
ising, as also the rye crop. But a few years ago
Cherokee Georgia had no rival for Wheat. Now
it must look to its honors, for 4he “Piney Woods"
has shown that wheat as well as cotton can. be
grown there with as certain a yield to the farm
er, and as profitable to him, as it is to the farmer
of Cherokee.—Atlanta Intelligencer.
W~ Tho Wheeling Intelligencer, says that
“ when His rebels were at Morgantown, it was
agreed in Waynesburg, Pa., that ho defence
of the place should be attempted, and more
over, that Jesse Teazer, M. U., and Cashier of
the Bank there, went out eight miles with a
flag of truce, hunting somebody to surrend
er to.”
BY TELEGRAPH.
ANDY JOHNSON AT CAMP CHASE.
At the invitation of Gffv- Todd,-Governors John
son and Wright visited Camp Chase yesterday and
addressed tho soldiers.
Gov. Johnson spoke two hours, and Gov. Wright
about one hour. Each of them WR3 enthusiastical
ly received. Gov. Johnson was personally known
to a number of the Tennessee and Kentucky paroled
prisoners. .
Gov. Wright was especially amusing, and related
many anecdotes. There were at least twenty-five
hundred persons present, and everything passed off
exceedingly pleasant.
After the speeches the Governors and Commis
sioners Calloway and Horton, visited the rebel
camp or prison. In it were scenes of great interest.
'Many of the Southerners knew Johnson, and the
whisper of his name went round like a current of
electrieity. Every one was on the stretch to see the
distinguished visitors. Gov. J. did not converse
with but ono or two, and to them in a brief and
general irtanuer.
The above account of the Govornors visit to Camp
Chase, we clip fromthe OhidState Journal ef March
5th. It may never reach the eyes of the voluntary
patriots, yet we take the liberty to supply the omis
sion, which. though it made an iuipre»sion not soon
to be forgotten by tho prisoners, seems to have es
capefl the lynx-eyed reporter of the Journal.
Tho "Governors” and their attendants made their
way through 'the snow and mud, to the General’s
quarters, and announced even by a knock, ontered
(tve beg pardon, the "distinguished” Andy remained
-without,) General Churchill—who was captured at
Arkansas Post—received his unbidden visitors with
dignity and courtesy. After a few common place
remarks, Gov. Wright said: "Governor Johnson
wishes an introduction to you.” Thh Gen. replied,
“I do not wish to make the acquaintance of Gov
ernor Johnson. Governor W. made a retrogade
movement in "doable quick,” and gave Andy
to understand that there was at least one Rebel who
was not “ on the stretch to see the distinguished”.,
visitor. The idea was caught by the captives about
the door, who could not suppress their emotions and
g*ve utterance of "bully for Churchill,” an'd hisses
for the "distinguished” visitor.
A few moments ended the embarrassing interview
in the quarters. The "distinguished visitors” took
their leave, and as they plodded their way to the
gate were greeted with loud cheers for Jeff. Davis
and the Southern Confederacy. »
As a token of appreciation, by the General's fel
low prisoners, of hu reception of Andy, mess No. 60
presented him a set of prison-made jewelry, which
for ingenuity and .beauty of polish, we doubt if it
could be surpassed in our fashionable jewelry estab
lishment*, with all the appliances of tbeirart, while
tho materials out of which this set was made was a
few guffa percha buttons and a S3 J gold piece, and
the tools a pocket knife and sand paper.
-- • Bristol Advocate.
Gy The Governor of North Carolina has issued
a proclamation against deserters and those who en
courage and aid them. He thus admonishes both
classes of the prospect which awaits them after the
war is over:
Observing and never failing eyes have marked
yon every one.. And when the overjoyed wife wel
comes once more her brave and honorable husband
tu hi* hums, oud tells him how in the long year* of
his absence, io the lonely hours of the night, you
who had been his comrades rudely ’ entered her
house, robbed her and her children of their bread,
and heaped insult and indignities upon her defence
less bead, the wrath of that heroic husband will
make you regret, in the bitterness of your cowardly
terror, that you were ever bom. Instead of a few
scattered militia, the land will be full of veteran sol
diers, before whose honest faces yon will not have
courage to raise your eyes from the earth. If per
mitted to live in the State at all you will he infa
mous. You will be hustled from the polls, kicked in
the streets, an honest jury will not believe you on
oalh, and honest men everywhere wjll shun you as
a pestilence, for be who lacks courage and patriot-'
ism.can have no other gooff quality or redeeming
virtue.
A PEACE PARTY.
Wo publish to-day a communication taken from
the New York Express, in which the writer points
out, with great clearness and force, the difficulties
under which the peace men at the North at pre
sent labor, and which prevent them from being
properly heard. Two great political' parties are
struggling for the mastery. Vast numbers in bo-'
are anxious for peace, but each party is afraid to
say so, because of the political advantage the oth
er might derive from the avoweh Each watches
the other for signs of relcnliDg, and is swiff to
charge it;- while the accused party alarmed, for
fear of the political effect, it is prone to deny the
charge, and to pledge itself anew to the vigorous
prosecution of the war. “Thus,” sayf the writer,
“each goads on the other to eternal war,” while
perhaps each secretly desires peace.
- The writer maintains that the remedy for the
evil, is for peace men to organize as a seperate par
ty, and avow their sentiments. “The wrong poli
cy, if not the cowardice and dishonesty, of parties
and party leaders and the insincerity of having
war on the tonguo while peace is in the heart, all
combine to call the opponents of the cruel and de
structive conflict, to open, bold and concerted ac
tion.”—Richmond Sentinel. . ' j
— The New York Herald noticing tho recent
movement in that city;reprobating the afrestof
Vallandigham, says : •
“Tho country is rapidly drifting towards
civil war. The milittry precedent of Vallan-
digham’s case must be abandoned, or the deep
ly excited popular elements of New, York may
be inflamed to tho most- fearful extremities of
resistance.” ’

THE ASSAULT ON VICKSBURG..’
[Wo are indebted to Major Matthews for the
following private dispatch from Meridan.—Ed
Any.]
Meridan, May 27.
Maj. W. B. Mathews: News has been re
ceived from Vicksburg, up to. Sunday evening.
Fighting has taken place every day. On Sat
urday a tremendous assault was made by con
centrating most of tho enemy’s cannon upon
one point. Our breast works were broken,
aud the enemy entered in considerable num
bers. They were terribly repulsed, almost all
being killed or taken prisoners. Wo captured
their banners on our works. Our,loss thus
far is between two and three hundred. The
enemy admit a loss of from fifteen to twenty
thousand. E. M. Dillard.
Is the Waosa Place.—It is. daily becoming
more evident that there is a large amount of milita
ry talent absorded at this time by the press of the
South, and that men arc occupying the chair edi
torial who ought to bo in the saddle, ‘it is beyond
dispute that if some of the newspaper writers were
at tho head of our armies we should never lose
battle, and the war would be closed out in less
than ninety days. We aro also of opinion that if-
old Billy Jone3, the celebrated North Carolina
Fool Killer, would mako a raid into Tennessee he
could find a good deal of employment for his club.

have been received. The laat official report from
Vicksburg, on the morning of the 24th, says that
Vicksburg was then holding out, and Grant'hope-
ful of success. ♦
The number of troops in Vicksburg is from 25,000
to 30,000. The city is full of women and children,
not .only original inhabitants, but others who came
in for safety from the surrounding country.

Q6th in reference to offensive movements. The
rebels in Virginia have been for some time threat
ening Hooker,and he expresses the opinion that the
rebels are bringing np all their forces from Charles
ton and North Carolina to make an agressive
movement. In view, however, of the publicity
given to these threats, it seems to be the design to
provide for the defense of Richmond, and to deter
Hooker from making another immediate advance.

FROM VALLANDIGHAM AND THE WEST.
Chattan’ooqa, May 29.—Vallandigham is still at
Shelbyville. Whilst,'as an exile, he i3 confident of
kind treatment and consideration from the generous
and hospitable people of the Confederacy, he de
sires to avoid all public appearance and demonstra
tions, and to live in some quiet %pot as a retired
gentleman.
He is fully sensible that, as an alien enemy, his
residence in the Confederacy is due sclely to the
generous consent of the Government and people till
he oan return home in safety; and is confident that
his character is well enough known to satisfy all
that he is incapable.of any act or word here, or on
his return to Ohio, inconsistent with the relations he
sustains to the South during his sojoum'among us.
The story of Mrs. Vallandigham’s insanity is a
fabrication. She wrote her husband a week ago,
not to deviate from the high path of fluty, honor and
patriotism. t ■
After his sentence, Vallandigham was kept in close
confinement, only Rosecranz’s staff officers being
allowed to communicate with him.
He states that'disgust and dissatisfaction are prev
alent in the Northwest. The country is ripe to throw
off Lincoln’s hated yoke. (.Yes, ripe and rotten.]

the Knoxville Register that a few days since, in
Use county, Va., near the Tennessee line, a tory,
who had slandered the widow of a deceased Con»

indignant women, and received twenty stripes.—
The women who administered this wholesome ad

ARREST OF DESERTERS.
Camp oe Hood's Division; )
Near Raecoon'Ford, Va., May 24, 1863. J
Editor Columbus Enquirer•• On tho 19th instant
Capt. Seago, oi the 20th Georgia Regiment, was put
in charge of a special detail of eight men to go in
search of and arrest six deserters from Company
D, (Toombs' Rangers) of the 20th Georgia, who left
without leave, on the 18th inst. The names of the
malefactors are as follows: Privates W. E. Nettles,
VvTA". Colson,. G. W. Lee, W.H.Dyer, J. E. Pitt-
man and William Turley.- *
With a vigilance and an energy peculiar to him
self, Capt. Seago made a forced marched of several
days,' aud after overcoming some slight resistance,
by a very shrewd game of military bluff, succeeded
in capturing thehali dozen deserters, and delivering
themingood time on tbe22dinaL, to Gen. Benning.
Previous to absconding from camp, the culprits
provided themselves with about one hundred rounds
of ammunition, and their guns and accoutrements.
The party were arrested about forty-five miles from
the oamp.of-the Regiment, and beyond the Blue
Ridge mountains, at which place they felt secure
from ayrest. They will be rigorously dealt with in
terms of the Articles of War, ‘and doubtless two or
more will be shot, and the others severely punished
for their act of desertion.
Capt. Seago deserves, and has received the praise
of every true soldier, for his successful expedition
in the Blue Ridge after deserters. Ail honor to
Capt. Seago and his squad of eight 1*- J. T. S.

— A touching incident occurred in Columbus,
Ohio. A negro girl, with her clothes packed in
the satchel, ran to the cars as the prisoners were
about to start and begged them to take her with
them. She said she had been trying to. get beck
to her master for several months, and now was de-
termined to accompany them. The guards-drove
her back,and they left her wriogingher hands aud
shrieking that she wanted to be taken home.
ty We understand that Gen. Bragg, a few' days
since, informed bis adjutant-General, Colonel Wal
ter, that be desired pardons to be issued freely aud
fully to every private who was under sentence of
various court martials. It happened to be the Col
onel’s birth-day, and he exercised the power fully,
and more than one hundred privates, sentenced to
imprisonment, ball and chain, or to labor on Govern
ment works with ball and chain for periods of four,
three to six months, were pardoned and restored to
their companies. The list, large as it was, after be
iug submitted to General Bragg, was increased by
addition of other names.—Rebel.
THE GREAT STORM.
We aro now in the midst of an old-fashioned
“ May freshet,” full particulars of the damage of
which we dread to hear.
- The rain poured down and the wind blowed all
round last night moat furiously.
Our garden and potato patoh this morning bear
the marks of unqualified immersion.
Fruit and forest trees in many places have been
handled roughly, and greatly damaged.
Wheat—ah! that's the point—Wheat, that wsb so
promising, ha* been—where it was headed—pros
trated to the ground. . We tremble for the wheat
orop. Visions of wheat cakes and blackberry pies,
which have given rise to so many pleasant anticipa
tions, are rudely dispelled by the terriblo starm.
Bottom lands, forward corn and mill-dams will
come in for a full Share in the damage.
The winds are still high, the clouds black, and
some rain falling—wo must wait and hope for the
best.

would appear that the storm in Atlanta occured on
Friday the day after ours.
