Grant, this morn ing,., is of the most exciting and important Character. There can hardly be a doubt libel it is the prelude to the fall of Vicks ,bargh. An official dispatch{ reached the President yesterday, from Memphis, ear -1 63dying information to' Wednesday last. It states that Gen. Grant had captured Haines Bluff, and the outer works of Vicksburgh, a large number of prisoners and 57 pieces of artillery, the battle being still raging, with every prospect of secur ing the entire force in Vicksbnrgh. At that time we certainly held Jackson, the Black River Bridge and Haines' Bluff. A previous dispatch, from Geu. Hurlbut, dated the 21st, at Memphis, states that the rebel Gen. Joe Johnston was at Cal. houn, 17 miles above Jackson, with 6.000 men—the force with which he was driven out of the latter place—endeavoring to effect a junction with Pemberton at Ed ward's Station. A dispatch from Canton, dated the 19th, announced that Gen. Grant had driven the enemy into his in• ttenchments'ou the Big Black, and that Johnston had ordered all his provisions from Canton. There is sufficient• evi dence to show that the position of the rebels was extremely desperate.. In additiou and confirmation of the above important intelligence, Col. Raw lings (Geo. Grant's Assistant Adjutant- General) telegraphs to the War Depart *tent, under date of the 20th; from the rear of Vioksburgh, a summary of the events which had occurred up to that time. It appears that in tne fight at laeltson on . t he 14th, in which Joe John ' sten was defeated, we captured seventeen pieces of artillery. On the 16th the en tire Vicksburgh force under Pemberton ' was engaged and defeated at Baker's Creek. The enemy in this fight . lost twenty-nine pieces of artiltery. On the 17th Gen. Grant engaged and again de feated the same force at Black River Bridge—the rebels losing 2,600 men and seventeen pieces of artillery. On the 18th ,Vicksburgh was closely invested, and the 'rifle pits to the north of the city were car ried on the 20th. The right of our army thus rested•on the Mississippi above the City. The rebels had some fifteen or twenty thousand men, and the probability is that .Geo. Grant has captured most of them, as the cannonading closed about 3 o'clock on the 20th. The defeat, of Pemberton by Gen. Grant is fully confirmed by news received. at headquarters of the Army of the Po; tonna from the enemy's lines. Pember ton himself, in a dispatch to Gen. Lee, states that a small force left by Gen. Grant in Jackson was attacked by-Gen Joe Johnston. This force retreated upon the main body, which in the meantime had been attacked by Pembertonlr—the intention being to defeat the National forces in 'detail. The result was contrary to rebel hopes, however—Petnbertou 'being badly, defeated and driven back upon Yicksburgh. The enemy's loss was heavy in killed and wounded, and three thousand of his men were captured. Seven hundred and eight prisoners,eap tured by Gen. Grant at Port Gibson and Grand Gulf anived at St. Louis..on Sun- day last There are a large number of Missourians among them. • The advices from Tennessee 4:e to the effect that Bragg is apprehensive of an attack by Gin. Rosencrans. Ells position at Elorse Shoe Mountain 1.-; said to be strongly fortified. Our. ,Clispatches con tain an account of a surprise of a camp of rebel cavalry in the vicinity of M .ddle town, in which eight rebels were killed and ninety captured. The rebel camp was destroyed. Twelve "bushwhackers" belonging to the band which recently made the raid into Kansas, .were captured at • Council Grove a few days since, and were placed in charge ,Stuart'sol cavalry to be taken tp Fort RileY. On the way thither they attempted to escape, and all of them were shot.—New York. Tinzes,Sunday llluy 24. Later. , A 'dispateh• to President Lincoln an. nounces the surrender of Vicksburg Its date - is Cleveland, May 24, and it is based on another from the telegraph superin tendent at Memphis, who_ declares that the stars and stripe's float over Vicksburg, and that the victory is complete That the President received this message is certain ; we only wish it had been signed by Gen Grant, in order that al/ doubt as to the fact might have teen dispelled. There is, however, a second despatch which hies not been sent to the press, which slated, with rather more precision than the first, that the whole rebel artily -has been. captured ; and a third, also pri vete, confirming the accounts of the other two. We consider loth these a. nearly trustworthy as anything but official or direct information can be, and reading them in the light of the previous news it is hardly possible to doubt that the,crowu ing victory of the long Struggle for the great river has at last been won, and that Vicksburg is ours 1— Tribune, Monday. . The Roman Catholic Bishop, Smyth, of Dubuque, lowa, has threatened to ex communicate those of his flock who ac tively sympathize with Secession—declar ing that such connection was against the rules of the church, and that those mem : bera ware out of its pale. Two men, condemned to death by a Court Martial in Cincinnati, and a descr ier, were shot on the 15th. Five men bre urdered for execution on the 29th. The stern realities of war require wur ireatwent of those Mee who will not be ieti by mild uwage. Riehmond4apers are unhappy over the capture ofJackson, Miss. They say an evacuation and retreat from Vicksburg or a pitched battle is a matter of imme diate necessity. They call Grant's move a bold one, which must be wade to cost him or the Rebels very dearly. -Though "affairs look Ugly for us (the Rebels) we have a general (Joe Johnston)-in whom all have confidence. We await intelli gence With anxiety and str.mg hope." Another article represents the safety of Richmond as by no means-assured; and urges the couseription of every able-bod- Wd male from 16 to 69 years of age for its defense. The Union frees at West Point atid Hooker's late re-enforcetnents are reasons for anxiety, and Yankee trick ery and strategy are, dismally deplored. On the 19th; a sad accident betel two of our regimprits at DeKrted House; eight miles beyond - Sti,ffolk. Two by-roads branch off the South Q.my Road, and upon each one a regiment was advancing. These were the 11th Rhode Island and 152 d New York Volunturs. As the roads near each other. they form a short angle that diverges between, and upon which there is .a dense undLrgrowth. Across this strip of land the two regi T meats could but imperfeetty discern each other. One regiment mistook the other fur Rebels in ambush, and at once opened a galling tire: This was replied , to with . ardor. Before the mistake was discov ered. both regiments suffered to a consid erable extent The 2d 3laine Regiment, is on its way to Bangor to bo mustered out of, the ser vice, having served the term of its'en: listnteut —two years ; how well can easily !be surmised by the fact that no move. intent of the Army of the Potomac, front Idle first Bull Bun battle to: the recent engagements near the Rappahannock, has i taken place that they have not participm 1 ted in There have been nearly 2,000 men connected with this legitnent slime its organization, aud it returns home now with about 200 !

De says : This place fell into our hands yesterday, after a light of about three* hours • Jiie Johnston was ill COlll - The enemy retreated North evi dently with the design of joining the Vicksburg forces. Dispatches front Somerset, Ky., say that the Rebel force in Wayne and Clin ton Counties is increasing. Then are said to have 17,000 men, with 14 pieces of artillery. Four Rebel regiments of in fantry haVe passed through Jamestown, and .?.4 more regiments are re:wiled at Morristown. East Tennessee. Gail. Buck ner is said to be at Clinton. There are Rebel pickets on the Cumberland River at every available point. The Cumber. land ii falling, and will soon be fordable unless we have rain. The Rebel General S D.

The news k I front the City of Mexico to the 2d inst., and front Puebla to the 30th ult. Gen. Ortega, in a dispatch to Gen.

At the battle of Somerset the 7th Ohio cavalry captured a flag from Scott's : rebel cavalry. made from a silk dress of one 'of Rumphref Marshall's daughters, and presented by her to the rebek only about three weeks previous to its capture. . A dispatch from Murfreesboro — dated 22d. says : "Gen.

Eight Rebels were killed, 90 'prisoners taken, and 200 horses captured. The camp of the enemy, including the arms thrown away by them, was deStroyed, Our loss was two or three slightly wounded." . . .
