HEADQUARTERS, 7TH ARMY CORPS,
Department of the Tennessee,
Before Vicksburg, June 26—r. M.
The Mouth of the Nine.
As one approaches the mine, in look
ing.around;jhe finds himself in plain
view and Within - five yards of the ene
my's strongest work, the parapet of
which is about twenty feet from the
bottom of the ditch, and is much in
dented by our shot and shell. The
work, however, bears some few marks
of its original exterior. It was evi
dently a sod work, almost perpendicu
lar on its outer face, and intended to
mount four guns. However, since our
batteries pave been so vigorously fir
ing upon it, the embrazures have all
been filled, and we think the artillery
withdrawn to an interior and second
line of defence nearer the city. In the
assault of the 22d inst., the strength
of the two positions became evident,
for our loss here was the most sangui
nary of the day. It is supposed, once
in possession of this point, we hold the
key to the position.
A Few Steps in Advance
and you stand before the mine, which
here has the appearance Of k square
shaft dug into the earth, with a - grad
ual declivity as you penetrate. The
entrance is made in the scarp of the
enemy's fort, an opening four feet
square, well framed with timbers to
keep up the loose earth which our pro
jectiles have' broken .from the face of
the work. In order to protect the en
trance a number of gabions and boxes
have been piled up before the mouth,
which affords ample security from
hand grenades and shells thrown over.
by the rebel troops inside.
Size of the Mine.
The main gallery, from the mouth
to the point of divergence of the other
galleries, measures thirty-five feet.—
Here three smaller galleries - set out,
one ten feet deep, obliquely to the left;
another2eight feet, diverging to the
right, and a third, eight feet in length,
being a continuation of the main gal
lery. The chambers for the reception
of the powder are let into the bottom
of the shaft, 'and are about two feet in
depth.
The Charging of the Mine.
Having completed one gallery, the
powder was brought up and backed
into the chambers in almost equal
quantities, .the entire quantity used
being twenty-two hundred pounds,
one thousand of which were placed at
the end of the main gallery, the re
mainder being distributed in the ex
tremities of the smaller galleries.—
From each of the chambers a fuse was
run out to the month of the shaft,wherc
the match was to bo applied at the
designated time.
Twenty-nine barrels, of powder were
placed in the mind to effect the blow
ing up of the fort. The gap reveals a
complete view of the city and of the
river beyond. Two of our heaviest
pieces of artillery now command the
city at point blank . range. Ammuni
tion is going forward, so that we may
look for a renewal of the attack at any
moment.
The Readiness of the Mine.
At three o'clock this afternoon a
messenger arrived from the mine
bringing information that everything
wasin readiness to apply the match.
The troops in the outer works' were
all withdrawn, with the exception of
a'small body of sharpshooters, which
were retained to keep up a demonstra
tion until the fuse was ignited, when
tliey also were to retire hastily to a
respectful distance under cover of one
of the parallels.
The Assaulting Party.
As part of the grand programme,
Leggett's brigade, was ordered under
arms, and marched into the trenches as
near the front as safety would permit.
Here they rested, awaiting the- pro=
concerted signal, when they were to
rush.tipon. the work_immediately on
the heeli•Of-the . forlorn hope.'
The Forlorn Hope.
This dangerous duty was set apart
or a detachment of ..one hundred men
from the-forty-fifth Illinois infanty and
another hundred from the twenty-third
Indiana. These bodies were thrown
out in the extreme advance, with in
structions for the forty-fifth Illinois to
assauft on the right on Fort Hill the
moment the explosion had taken place,
and the twenty-third Indiana was to
rush out the sap running to the left
and attack the curtain of the fort ex
tending towards the town. Here they
were to keep down, by means of mus
ketry, the enemy's riflemen; for with
out this accomplished we would have
suffered an enfilading fire on the at
tackers upon the main fort.
- , The Support.
• As a support to the brigade of Leg
get Gen. Stevenson's command was
ordered to hold itself - in readiness to
move at a — moment's notice. As an
additional force and kind of reserve to
the support, the Seventeenth lowa
and Fifty-sixth Illinois, of Gen. John
E. Smith's division, and the Seven
teenth Wisconsin, of Ransom's brig
gade, ll'Arthur's division, were bro't
to the centre and held in the rear to
await the development of the strug
gle. Those troops carried nothing
with them but their muskets and ear
trige boxes;
many of them were in
their shirt sleeves, evidently anticipa
ting warm work if engaged.
The Preconcerted
As might be supposed, the explosion
was designated as the _signal fur a
getleral balltlitalleoll.6 co-operation all
along the lines from right to lett. fn
making an attack of this character it
was expected that the attention of the
enemy would be distracted and the
force within be distributed along the
entire line, instead of being concentra
ted upon the ono fort in front of this
corps, which would result in inevita
ble, perhaps irreparable defeat. All '
these contingencies were wisely con
sidered, and the subsequent results ex
emplified how necessary was the co
operation of the other commands.
A Suspense.
Everything was finished. The vi
talizing spark bad quickened the hith
erto passive agent and the now harm
less flashes went hurrying to the cen
tre. The troops had been withdrawn.
The forlorn hope stood out in plain
view, boldly awaiting the uncertain
ties of the precarious office. A chill
ing sensation ran through the frame
as an observer looked down upon this
devoted band about to burl itself into
the breach—perchance into the jaws
of death. Thousands of men in arms
flashed on every hill. Every one was
speechless. Even men of tried valor—
veterans insensible to the shouts of
contending battallions, or nerved to
the shrieks of comrades suffering un
der the tortures of painful agonies—
stood motionless as they directed their
eyes upon the spot where soon the
terrors of a buried agency would dis
cover itself in wild concussions and
contortions carrying annihilation to
all within the scope of its tremendous
power.
It was the seeming• torpor which
precedes the antagonism of powerful
bodies. Five minutes had elapsed.—
It seemed like an existenc - _,. Five min
utes more, and yet no signs of the ex
pected exhibition ; an indescribable
sensation of impatience, blended with
a still active anticipation, ran through
the assembled spectators. A small
pall of smoke now discovered itself;
every one thought the crisis had come,
and almost saw the terrific scene
which the mind had depicted. But
not yet. Every eye now centered
upon the smoke momentarily growing
greater and greater. Thus another
five minutes wore away and curiosity
was not satisfied. Another few min
utes, then
The Ezploeion,
and upon the hoi;zon could I.e seen an
enormous column of earth, dust, tim
bers and projectiles lifted into the air
at an altitude of at least eighty feet.
One entire face of the fort was disem
bodied and scattered in particles all
over the surrounding surface. The
right and left faces were also much
damaged, but fortunately enough of
them remained to afford an excellent
protection on our flanks.
Thc Assault and Bombardment
No sooner had the explosion taken
place than the two - detachments act
ing as the forlorn hope ran into the
fort and sap, as already mentioned.—
A brisk musketry fire at once com
menced between the two parties, with
about equal effect upon either side.
No sooner had these detachments
become well engaged than the rest of
Leggett's brigade joined them and en
tered into the struggle. The regi
ments relieving each other at intervals,
the contest now grew severe; both
sides, determined upon holding their
own, were doing their best. Volley
after volley was fired, though with
less carnage than would be supposed.
The Forty-fifth Illinois charged im
mediately up to the crest of_ the para
pet, and here suffered its heaviest.—
Lieutenant Colonel Melanchon Smith
was hit in the Lead by three buck
shot, and, though still alive, it is said
by the surgeons his skull has been
penetrated, and there can be Re) hopes
of his recovery. Col. Smith is a young
man, and has figured prominently in
all actions with his regiment, from
Fort Doueison to the assault of to-day.
Ile has been repeatedly complimented
by his superiors in rank for coolness
under fire.and great tact in the dispo
sition of troops.
The officers of the army here exhib
it great interest in the condition of
Col. Smith, and hope ho may yet be
preserved to the corps. He is receiv
ing every attention within the power
of the surgeons to save his life. At
the time the Lieutenant Colonel was
shot ho stood upon tho parapet of the
fort, was calling to Lis men to follow,
and when struck fell among his men
who were scrambling up the sides of
the work to answer his call. A few
moments after the wounding of Col.
Smith, Major Fisk, of the same regi
ment, fell dead, having been shot
through the heart. The Adjutant also
received a dangerous wound in the
wrist.
Notwithstanding the loss of these
distinguished offlecrs, the men of the
regiment stuck to the work• and held
the ground against a strong force of
the enemy thrown against theM.
Our Flag Goes Up.
After a severe contest of half an
hour, with varying results, the flag of
the Forty-fifth appeared upOn the
summit of the work. The position
was. gained. Cheer after cheer broke
through the confusion and uproar of
the contest, assuring the troops every
where along the lino that the Forty
fifth was still itself. The Col., (Malt
by,) was now left alone in command
of the regiment, and he was himklf
badly bruised by a flying splinter.—
The regiment had also suffered severe
ly in the line, and the troops were
worn out by excessive heat and hard
fighting.
77w Pioneers
After the Possession of the fort was
no longer in doubt, the pioneer corps,
under Captain Ifickenlooper, mounted
the work with their shovels and sot to
throwing op earth vigorously in order
to secure space for the artillery. A
most fortunate pcculiarty in the ex
plosion was the manner in which the
earth was thrown out. The appear
ance of the place was that of a funnel,
with heavy sides running up to the
very crest of the parapet, affording
admirable protection not only for our
troops and pioneers, but turned out a
ready made fortification in the rough,
which, with a slight application of the
shovel and pick, will be ready to re
ceive the guns to be used here.
Up to this time the pioneers have
made great progress, and are still at
work. A battery may be expected
here in a little time, two howitzers of
Capt. Sparstrom's command being al
ready in the trenches awaiting the
completion of the fort.
_Millers as They Now Stand.
There is littlo firing now going on.
There is doubt concerning our ability
to hold the position. The enemy will
undoubtedly make every effort to re
gain the place this evening, but there
is no possibility of the success of his
endeavors. We are now so strength
cued that iL would be impossible un
der ordinary circumstances to drive
us out. Fresh troops are now moving
up to occupy and hold tho posilion
against every contingency.
Our Loss
Miraculous as it may seem amid all
the firy ordeal of this afternoon's en
gagement, one hundred killed and two
hundred wounded, is a large estimate
of casualities on our side. Col. Reece,
of the Thirty-first Illinois, was mor
tally wounded by a grenade; also,
Captain llotaling was injured by a
fragment of the same.
Behavior of the
It is not necessary to speak partic
ularly concerning this. Every man
was at his post and did his best. I
have not seen or heard of an instance
of cowardice on the part of officers or
men.
The Enemy
From a lookout on the summit or an
eminence near the rebel works, the
movements of the enemy could be
plainly watched. An individual in
the tower, just prior to the explosion
of the mine, saw the rebel regiments
marching out to the fort. Of a sud
den—perhaps upon seeing the smoke
of the fuse—the troops turned about
and ran towards the town in a perfect
panic. They were not seen again da
ring the fight; but other regiments
were brought up to supply their pla
ces.
The enemy's loss to-clay is not
known, but must have been heavy.

YAzoo PayED, Sun° 20, 8 A. lI
The news from the front this morn
ing is that the charge of our troops
yesterday afternoon was entirely suc
cessful. They hold the brunch, though
the victory was not won without ter
rible loss, including many officers.—
Seven picked regiments of General
McPherson's corps, constituted the as
saulting party. Among the killed is
Colonel Meland-lion Smith, of the For
ty-fifth Illinois, which is familiarly
known as the "Lead Mine" regiment.
The Major of the same regiment is
also among the killed.

CAIRO, July S
By the arrival of the steamer Niag
ara, with Lieut. Dunri ' of Gen. Sulli
van's staff, from Vicksburg, who is a
bearer of dispatches from Gen. Grant
to the War Department, we have a
confirmation of the capitulation of
Vicksburg.
From reliable sources the following
particulars of the closing scenes of the
siege of Vicksburg have been ob.ain
ed.
The first flag of truce reqvcd for
some' time, was on the first of July,
asking an escort fin tWo Englishmen,
who had been shat up for sonic time
in the Confederacy. This request was
granted. On the previous day the
rebels made an unsuccessful sortie on
our works on the left, intending to
take our soldiers out of the rifle pits.
General Johnston was reported to be
only twenty miles off. Our men were
in line of battle ready to receive an
attack.
On the 3d a flag of truce came into
our lines, brought by two Confederate
officers, ono of whom was Major Gen
eral Bowen. The messengers were
blindfolded, and remained awaiting
the return of General Smith who took
the dispatches from Pemberton to
General Grant. After an hour had
elapsed their oyes were unbandaged.
They conversed freely with the Union
officers. One of them said that iron
enough had been thrown into the city
to stock immense founderies and build
monuments for all who had fallen.
The messengers were again blind
folded and escorted to a safe point
from which they could cuter their own
lines.
Great curiosity was manifested by
the officers and soldiers to learn the
contents of General Pemberton's dis
patches, which was finally gratified.
The rebel Gencial had seen fit to in
timate that an unnecessary effusion of
blood and loss of life might be proven
cd by the cessation of hostilities, du
ring which commissioners might be
appointed to agree on terms of surren :
der. lie also intimated that he could
hold the city for an indefinite period.
General Giant's reply was very
brief, saying that Pemberton had it in
his own hands to stop bloodshed at
any moment; that commissioners were
unnecessary, and the only stipulations
ho could accept were an unconditional
surrender. lie concluded by paying
a deserved tribute to the bravery and
endurance of the rebel garrison, and
said that if they surrendered they
should be treated to all the courtesy
due to prisoners of war
The rebel messenger had not gone
long when Pemberton sent again, ask
ing a personal interview, which Gen
eral Grant promptly acceded to.
At 3 o'clock P. M., the same day, a
conference took place about midway
between the fronts of both armies.—
The two Generals went aside, and
what was said during the conference
can only be judged froni the results.—
After little more than an hour terms
were agreed upon, and the rebels sur
rendered.
It was arranged that the Pederld
forces should enter at 10 o'clock on
the next morning, and the rebels all
be parolled (the officers allowed to
retain their horses) and given four
days rations, to be taken from the reb
el stores.. They were to be considered
us prisoners, liable to exchange. The
enemy, numbering from twenty-five
thousand to thirty thousand, by this
arrangement, fell into our hands, along
with small arms, forts, defences, &c.
Plenty of cannon were captured,
and theft quality is equal to the best
ir, the Confederacy.
At 10 o'clock on the morning of the
4th of July, General Steele's division
marched into and garrisoned the city,
the bands playing the national airs of
the contending forces. The scone was
Nritnessed by thousands of Federal
and rebel soldiers, many of' whom, fbr
time first time is weeks bad shown
them.clves with impunity above the
rills pits, although. during all the time
they had been NNithin five yards of
each other.
General Grant en me to. the place of
rendezvous smoking a cigar, and ap
parently the only unexcited person in
the vast assemblage.
General Pemberton first remarked
that lie had been present when dilfe•-
ent fortresses had been surrendered to
the Federal arms in the .Alexiertn war,
and in those cases the enemy were
granted terms and conditions. He
thought his army was as well entitled
to such favors as a foreign foe.
General Grant listened to his argu
ments, and then proposed a private
conversation, to which Pemberton
agreed.
The "Stars and Stripes" were soon
after seen floating above the buildings
where lately the rebel ensigns had
met the breeze, and - Vicksburg was
again in loyal possession.
Not long after formal possession of
tho city had been taken, Col. Mark
land made his entrance to take charge
of the Post Office, and agreed to es
tablish federal mail• routes with the
rest of the world.

VICKSBURG, July 4
Viek:.,burg surrendered this morn
ing, after a siege of forty-seven days,
terminating in negotiations lasting
twenty-four Lours.
Generals Grant and Pemberton had
an interview yesterday afternoon, and
the last note of Pemberton, accepting
the proffered terms of General Grant,
did not reach here till o'clock to-clay.
General McPherson received the for
n al surrender.
The terms allow the officers and
men to be paroled hero, the former to
retain their side arms and horses and
personal property. They are to be
o.:corted beyond our lines and ftlimiTh
-1 with three days provisions. Gen
eral Logan's division marched into
the city at 11 o'clock, and at noon Lt.
Colonel Strong hoisted the Stars and
Stripes over the Court House.
Col. Wilson is Provost Marshal, and
General Logan commander of the
Pont. We have taken about 27,000
prisoners, besides about 4,000 non
combatants, 102 field pieces, 30 siege
guns, 50,000 stand of arms, ammuni
tion, locomotives, cars, a few stores
and 57 stand of colors.
A mong the prisoners are Lieutenant
General Pemberton, Major Generals
S. Steveson, Smith, Forney and Bow
en; fourteen Brigadier Generals, and
one hundred and thirty Colonels.—
There are 5,600 men in the hospitals,
half of whom are wounded. Only
one hundred and fifty of the garrison
are reported fit for duty.
The stock of provisions was almost
exhausted, and for four days numbers
had been eating mule flesh. Of am
munition for the heavy guns they had
a fhir supply, but for the field guns
and musketry they were short. Eight
caps to a man were allowed. They
had an excess of sugar, molasses and
rice, and these were all the supplies
they had, except a little unground
COlll.
The capitulation was caused by des
titution and prostration, hastened per
haps by the expectation that our fbrees
would storm the place to day.
It is admitted‘by all that the rebels
made a :rallant defence, and the terms
were understood to be concessions of
General Grant to their bravery, as well
as a measure of great public economy.
Vicksburg is much damaged by
shells, and hardly a house has escaped.
Our soldiers treated their late enemy
with great friendship, both sides feel
ing great relief from the hardships and
sufferings of the siege.
Fifty steamers are at the landing.—
The Fourth of July has never been
celebrated so strictly or so earnestly.
General Pemberton denies the au.
thorship of the speech attributed to
him about holding out till till; last dog

ETTYSDIIII G. PA., July 5, '6
The smoke of the great battle has
cleared away, the dead aro beilig in
terred, the wounded cared for, and
citizens who had fled precipitately
from their homes, are turning back
again. The last and most desperate
effort of the enemy to turn the right
flank o: our army was one of the most
obstinate contests the world c<e• saw.
Jackson's old corps, composed of vet
eran troops, of which the famous Stone
wall Brigade was the nucleus, was se
lected to carry the position of our - Nth
corps. The divisions of Generals Ear
ly, Johnston and Rhodes, were alter
nately pressed forward, directly against
our breastworks, for the space of thir
ty-six hours, without scarcely any in
terruption. The piles of their dead
now lying in front of General Geary's
position attest the murderous fire of
the "White Star" Division, command
ed by him. This division is largely
composed of old Pennsylvania regi
ments, every man of whom seemed to
net as if his State and his country rest
ed on his own individual exertions.—
They had their old enemy, the Stone
wall Brigade, against whom they had
often fought time and again, face to
face, and this time on the soil of the
Keystone State, where they had come
for purposes of plunder. No other in
centive was needed to urge bravo and
patriotic men to deeds of daring.
The 3d Brigade of General Cleary's
command, which is composed entirely
of New York troops, under the com
mand of the veteran General Greene,
vied with the Pennsylvania troops in
their efforts to drive the invaders from
our soil. The lst Brigade, composed
of (Our regiments of Ohio troops and
two of Pennsylvania troops, command
ed by the brave Colonel Candy, who
is a most efficient officer, was conspic
uous for its steadiness and its unflinch
ing front. During the temporary with
drawal of the Ist division of the 12th
corps from the intrenchmonts they
had occupied the night previous, the
wily 11)e had taken advantages of their
absence, and thrown a whole diviaion,
ollinbering seven thousand men, into
the gap. They had taken possession
of our breastwork, and thrown the
greater portion of their force around
the right flank, and to the rear of Gee
ry's division. This was effected un
der cover of darkness. It became at
once absolutely-necessary to dislodge
them. The accomplishment of this
object was confided to General Cleary.
Quietly and with great celerity, he
posted his artillery in a position to en
filade them, and lying down upon their
arms were ordered to keep perfectly
still until daylight approached.
Before the morning had fully dawn
ed, the struggle commenced. Our boys
fought like madmen. General Geary
himself superintended the direction of
the artillery fire, in order that his own
men,
who were secreted in the woods,
should not suffer by it.
From 4 o'clock until 10.3 A. M., the
contest was waged with unparalleled
fury, and then the enemy fled precipi
tately, falling back beyond the lino of
our fire, nail leaving us masters of the
position. General Geary was prompt
ly reinfored during the action by Gen
eral Meade, who sent a brigade of
tried men from the 6th Corps, under
command of General Shaler, for that
purpose. They fully maintained their
reputation as fighting men. General
Meade complimented General Geary
and the 12th Corps for the success of
this difficult undertaking.
For six hours and a half the - fighting
was the most desperate I ever witness- '
ed. General Ewell's entire command,
numbering at least 25,000 men, was
hitried against our line repeatedly, but
to no purpose. We captured five stands
of colors, over 500 prisoners, and 5,000
stand of arms. Major Leigh, A. A.
General of Johnston's division, was
killed instantly, while urging his men
to charge our position. His body was
left in our possesion, and upon it we
found an interesting diary of the
march into the free States, and other
documents pertaining to his responsi
ble position. IT.imself and horse were
riddled with balls. After the enemy
hail retired, an officer of General
Meade's staff accompanied General
Cleary over the field, and received
from him a statement of the positions
of our troops and those of the enemy.
The fight occurred in a dense forest of
heavy timber, intersected by ravines
and huge boulders, which afforded do
sirable positions for cover. The anni
versary of our Independence dawned
upon the Army Qf the Potomac just
as it was crowned with tvvictory the
most glorious of the war. We were
masters of the field, and Pennsylvania
was redeemed. The losses of the ene
my in this attack were one thousand
and two hundred killed, four thousand
wounded, and five hundred prisoners.
These statistics are gathered from re
liable sources.

Dahlgren destroyed 170 on the same
day. On Saturday and Sunday Kil
patriek-burned, captured and destroy
ed between 200 and 300. "Fully one
third of the transportation of the reb
el army has been destroyed," and the
damage to them of fully twice what
they- are able to carry out of Pennsyl
vania. The cavalry under the vigor
ous leadership of Pleasonton and his
subordinates—Buford, Gregg and Kil
patrick—have done immense: service
during the past ten days.
They have truly filled the mission
of cavalry. During a battle they have
harrat , sed the enemy on flank and
rear, have dispersed and defeated his
own cavalry, have destroyed his trains
and won a reputation equal to that of
our infantry. Of course, they have
experienced heavy losses in men and
horses, and they are still actively at
work keeping up a lively front.
Yesterday- the enemy pressed our
cavalry back upon Boonsboro, and at
sundown threw a few shells into the
place. Buford then dismounted his
whole command, his horses being very
much exhausted, and fought, the rebels
on foot for two hour, - -3, finally driving
them clear back to Antietam crock.
From a captured letter we learn
that the rebels are trying to shove a
portion of their force and their wound
ed across the river at Shcpherdstown.
Pleasonton will stop that to-day. The
rebels have ran the greater portion Of
their trains into a valley near Wil
liamsport, and covered them by artil
lery posted on
,the south side of the
Potomac.
