a OnTnnAST GALLERY.
There is a picture which occupies quite a proud.-
nent position in the Southeast Gallery, and which
has attracted and chained the observation of every
visitor. This picture is No. 31'ebylqr. A. H. Ritchie,
its subject being "Fitting out Moses for the Pair..
The spirit of the Vicar of Wakefield so pervades this
charming scene that it would be a pardonable solecism
to pronounce it a portraiture. Oliver Goldsmithwould
take pleasure in looking upon it, and pronounce
praise upon it with all the hem:tiness with which, if
he liked It not, his candor would impel him to de
clare himself. 'The paragraphs appended to , the
name of the picture in the catalogue serve as am in
dex to it. - Moses, whom no word seems better fitted
to describe than the epithet homespun, is the central
figure. His sisters, on either side of him, are mighty
busy "fitting him out for the fair"-trimming his hair,
brushing his buckles, and cocking his hat with pins.
Moses, even in this domestic Beene, seems to have a
bashful presentiment that he is not precisely the dis
creet boy - Who can buy and sell to good advantage
that his mother believes him to be, and that his
father is willing to be seduced into thinking he may
be. He looks as though he could be put every
Moment to the blush, by Miss Wilhelminii Skeggs,
and as though the lesson which he ought to learn
from the coming indiscretion of exchanging a'colt
for a gross of green spectacles (with silver rims arid
shagreen cases) would hardly save him from its repe
tition. He and his sisters bear to one another that
family resemblance which, it will be remembered,
the Vicar has reverted to. They all share the traits
of generosity, credulity, simplicity, and inoffensive- I
'mess. The just expression of these traits, the attie
tudes and employments of the principal figeires, the 1
apartment itself, which looks something between a
kitchen and a parlor, and the disposition of the arti
cles it contains, faithfully remind one that the mem
bers
of the Wakefield family are endeavoring to be
on an equality with their betters. From the figure
of the Vicar at the door, and the expression of his
face, we are led to believe that he is just the man to
discern that Fortune seems determined to humble -
his family, and to moralize upon misfortunes being
often more painful than real calamities. The frugal
fare spread upon the table to the right, the sprigs of
flowers decorating the less inelegant small round
table opposite, the cupboard invested with kitchen
paraphernalia, the flower-pot in the window, betray
attention to detail, and render' the ,effect very
truthful and pleasing. The picture is not a perfect
one ; but the subject is one that so takes hold of
the sympathies, and the endeavor of the artist is in
the main so successful, that perhaps it would be
hypercritical to dwell upon errors so slight as
hardly to admit their being dwelt upon. No. 30
is the portrait of Dr. Coggsvrell, by Mr. Thos.
Hicks. The position of the figure is that which a
student might rest in. The intellectual, benevolent
character of the man unmistakably expresses itself
in his features. Perhaps more attention has . been
employed in the representation of the book-ease and
the books than such merit, an entirely lower order
of talent being successful in such trivial and meagre
endeavors. We are sorry to say that they were so.
well done that they were admired at least as much
as the man, by one or two of that close which could
never have become acquainted with either the one
or the other. Nos. 29 and 34 appear to be companion
portraite, by Huntingden. The ladies whom they
representwould, in looking upon them, feel as com
mendable a degree of pleasure as any one else who
looks upon them does. They are high-bred and
beautiful ladies. In execution, they are elaborate.
The pure flesh-tintings are reproduced very pleasing
ly. In looking upon them, one feels that the por
trait must be as faithful as the piece of painting
No. 32, "Olive Trees at Tivoli,. is by IVT-iss S.
Clarke. The picturesque' vicinity of Tivoli fur
lathes some peculiar specimens of a peculiar growth
of trees—Olives of Tivoli. This peculiarity is sin
gularly well produced in the• painting by Miss S.
Clarke._ The wierd, almest fantastic figure
of the trunk and limbae the contour and
character of soil whence they spring;. the' condi
tions which affect the growth of a cluster of them,
are set before the eye in a style characteristic of
what they represent. At. times. the coloring is too
harsh or dispirited;. as a rule ibis-correct. The corn
parative variety of the subject has-been, witlemany,
its first claim to attractiveness: Next to• this is
"Evening on the Susquehanna," by -Mr. T: Moran.
It presents a beautifully Soft - sky.. The stream is

of moonlit air, land, and water, wrapped in with
euleen but not storming clouds, and. the subdued
harshness of the black.wharves e fernish, acuriously
pleasing union of reality and romance every one who
has seen this picture has- probably remarked upon.
It is a question whether. everybody has.been pleased
with it. Perhaps- it is too, natural to charm each
and all. There is about it assort of "greenishness"
which detracts from its whole effect, and which
pleases only when we contrast the scene with similar

The Rebellion Record.
Among the ,numerous publications to which the'
war has given birth, none has been so thoroughly
satisfactory, none more consistently conducted in
accordance with the promises in its prospectus, than
the "Rebellion Reccsd." It was natural that Mr.
Frank Moore, author of the "nary of the AMEIri.
can. Revolution," should have hitupore a - somewhat'
similar idea as regards the present:strife. A great
deal was expeeted frOm him, and he has fidfilled,
and even surpassed that expectation. Many histo
ries 61 the war will be written, but every writer
must draW largely on the "Rebellion Record " for
facts, rumors of the time, andidocuments. The fifth
voltime, just completed, (published by Me; Putnam ;
New York,), continues the Diary of Events - from
May to October, rete-2, while the Bocuments and Nar

(May 1,1862,) on the eccupation of ISewOrleansilown ,
to October in the same year. There are fifty - pages

A Batch of Novels.
The taste for , novel-reading must be on the increase,
judging from the number of new works in the mar
ket., There, are some good reprints; too, such as
The ;Vicar of Wakefield" in Tile Hand and Pocket
Library, published by Dick &• Fitzgerald, and the
"Tale of'Two Cities," in two volumes; with Dec.
leY's illustrations, in the Household edition of
Dickens':WOrks,•now publishing by Sheldon Sr Co.
Every respeoable person, we suppose,reads-the
moital Ticai of Wakefield at least twice innvery
year; a story fuircif improbabiklities; but breathing
so much- gdod nature, good feeling,.and good sense,
that - every tone loves it,-as every one loved its im
pulsive antler, Oliver .Goldsmith. Something in
the same cast of mind, but born im•a happier time,
is Charles:Dickens: We do - not much relish his
story oY the - French Revolution, with its accumula
tion of Melodramatic- lforrors, but how few of the
present day have written.any thing even nearly as
goodtas hie "Tale . of Two °Wei,'" bf peace in Lon
don, of the guillotine - in Paris.;
Of the Dickens . school, , and with ability to stand
in the rank immediately after him (with Miss
MulOck, Miss Evans, Mrs. Wood, Miss Brad
don, Mrs.:Gaskelh. Mrs.- Oliphant, Wilkie' Collins , '
Charlesßeadei Henry laugsleY, and others, of greet
talent and popularity,) is George Augustus Sala,
who, in a very powerful but scarcely well-conducted
novel, called-" The Seven Sons of Mammon," sho wed
ability which . led us to expect something better than
he has given us in. "The Strange Adventures of Cap
tain' Dangerous ; - who was a Soldier, a Pirate, a
Merchant, a_Spy, a Slave among the Moors, a Ba
ohaw in the service of the Great Turk, and died, at
last; in: -his own House in Hanover Square." It is
modestly put forth as "A Narrative, in plain Eng
lish, attempted by George Augustus Sala," and ori
ginally appeared I.n Temple Bar, a popular English
magazine, from whichit is reprinted by T. 0. H. P.
BUrnham, publisher, in Boston. It is impossible to,
deny that this story is well told ; but the hero is a
terrible rapscallion, a azauvais Rid of 'the darkest
hue, who swaggers through the book like an'Alas,
tian bravo, deep,in many cruel deeds, and subjected
to many Misfortunes. The early part of the story,
where the scene is in . England; is better than. the
reat., The conchision is hurried up, and many mys
teries which are' made much of at first are left unex
plained at the close. The affectation of .quaintlan- -
guage, with an'excessive old-fashioned use, or rather
abuse, of.capital letters, is also a drawback. rNot withetanding,lit is a clever work, by an able man
and deserves to be extensively read.
Very different is "St. °lave's," a novel by-anano-.
nYnious author, just republished by Harper & dßro
there. The'author need not be ashamed to proclaim
his name on the house-top, for his book is very suc.
cessful. If, which we can scarcely believe, it be a
first attempt, the leading novelists will have to look
to their laUrels. The true heroine, the widow of Arch
deacon Scrynigeour, and, therefore, honored with
the brevet title of Mrs. Archdeacon," is a tho
roughlyoriginal character,-consistent- in action and•
lankuage from hist to last, reminding us a very little

by,the.late Mrs. Gore,) but still peculiar as.well.

Governor Curtin at Erie.
[Correspondence of The Press.
Ears, June 4, IBM
Governor Curtin'S reception in this- place, on the
2d instant, was cordial and enthusiastic in the high
est degree.. A committee of citizens met him at
Cleveland, and a large crowd of friends and ad.
mire's awaited his arrival here. - A procession was
immediately formed, under the direction of William
L. Scott, Esq., a war Democrat, and headed by
DZehpa band, he was escorted from the railroad dd
pet to Brown's Hotel, where John P. Vincent ;Esq.,
welcomed him to the city in an appropritste speech',
to which he made a reply characterized by even
more than hie = usual eloquence. In the afternoon,.
the children of the various schools, numbering
nearly one thousand, were gathered in the East
park, and the Governor invited' to appear before
them. He promptly complied, and delivered an ad
dress remarkable for its appropriateness of thought
and beauty and'force of expression. Wholly unpar
tisan in spirit and sentiment, it was yet loftily loyal
and patriotic - in tone, and replete with whotasome
advice to the rising generation. lt produced a deep.
impression upon the minds - both of the children' and
adults assembled on the occasion.
The Governor again spokeln the evening, in. re.;
sponse to wean from the congregatedmasses, giving
a hopeful review of the progress - of the - war, and in
culcating sentiments of loyalty to , the Constitution
and Government; administering, cm passant, a de.

on the anniversary of the fall of Fort Sumpter.

B. H. Brewster, of this. city, which . we take the

FELLOW CITIZENS :• With some misgivings, I have
consented to come here. It is my wish so to act in
all my public demonstrations upon the important
subject that has called you-here, and which agitates
the minds of all men in America, that I: may not
blunt the measure of my usefulness by over-action,
For I have not come out from my privacy to make
myself the advocate of-a party, or by zealous decla
mation to urge the promotion of any , one. Nothing
but a sense Of duty has stimulated me to come from
the quiet: of my study into- such vast throngs of
anxious and , excited men. [Oheerie].: grom my ear
liest youth , I have been connected with the Demo
cratic party---identiffed with its principles, and asso
ciated with its public characters. From its first
organization, kinsmen of mine have held its highest
honors and been its firmest advocates. All this has
bound me to it with hooks of:steel. In the darkest
hours of its - adversity I-have never , 'canny faith in
it or its leaders.
1 have a right to speak for it and to speak-to it.
When in Pennsylvania I look-round and see it com
manded by runaway Whigs, who -have spent their
• time in systematic-opposition to its measures and its
men, and hear them lay down the law for the rank
and file, and hear them declare the rule of faith, I
am amazed - at their audacity and ashamed of the•
submissive spirit of those they profess to speak-for
and to lead. But more than that, and worse than
that, I hear those:men the- sanctuaries of our
political conventions by teachings that are hetero
dox, by statements that are untrue, and by policies
of action that are treasonable, and so I have come
here by the advice ofjudicious men to say away from
home that which. I .have willingly said there, that
Democrats are not bound by any. obligation of party
allegiance to follow such "blind leaders of the
blind." They.are not to heed the teachings of men
Whose whole political, personal, and social natures
are, in their very elemrnts,-hostile to their party
and antagonistic to its principles. Their lives, their
associations, and their proclaimed opinions,:are all
in open• war with the Democratic party as a party,
and with Democratic measures as a rule of govern
ment. At such a crisis as this how dare such men
stand up, and lay down the rule of action for that
poolitical church, whose catechism they have not yet
learned? I say how dare they strive to teach trea
son, and tell party,men that such foul. teachings are
the logical resultii of their political-faith.- One might
suppose they had banded together to betray and
calumniate _the_uarty they.profess to lead.. Demo.
to of New y_orn - ,---,,ta_vou.., as -I have said to
. mate of Pennsylvania,
hot of you, and. are not with you, and should be
spurned. by you. When we had a united and tri
umphant party we only knew them as Our avowed
enemies, and now we only know them as our cor
ruptors and: betrayers. [Applause.] Let us not
now, with armed men in the field—with our banner
soiled and _trampled: Onovith the principles of our
Government in pern and•our - h o aor.omeationed—let
us not follow such men into the gulf of faction, or'
hope to, maintain party by sundering our country.
[ Let us have a country that before we have a party ! •
Let us have laws obeyed. before we have-organiza
tions to elect officers to-administer laws that are de
spised. [Oheering.] The"men who broke down the
Democratic party by. secession from:lts fold now-
demand its help and command obedience to its laws
to secure them success in their open resistance to all
public authority, and.they have found those men in
the North who are weak enough or base enough to •
help them. in their treason.. The last who should
encourage this outrage and. public sin are Demo-,
-crate. By the ballot,were they beaten, and by, its
final decree.are they bound. Suffrage and obedience
to popular will are at the very foundation of all true
Democracy. Row, then, can Democrats stand by
men as-Democrats-who:are disloyal to their own
faith, and resist the declared will of the people, and
refuse obedience to the duly appointed officers of
'the law.? . Those who would act otherwise, those
whowould teach otherwise, have no business'here.
Their placeds with the enemy. Their home should
be in the South. [Great applause.]
I do not complain that men speak 'out their ideas,
but I do complain that when they speak they speak
'lioliticat,blasphemy. Freedom of epee& .I would
not abridge ; but licentiousness of speech is not free
dom. Scoffing, reviling, railing,. and' denouncing, is
not;freedom_ ;it is crime—it is sin. What produced
this:war? Did the States that first rebelled :lose
their negroes? No,. not one. Did those that lost
their negroes willingly enter into this conflict? :No !
they were dragged into it. The cause-of this war
was that the far-oif Gulf Statee could not endure the
freedom of speech and liberty. of the press here, a
thousand. miles up—far up in the North.. And now
we are told that the Democrats are to rally and over
throw the Government, by fair or foul means, to
vindhate the liberty of speech and the liberty of the
press - Remember, gentlemen, we have the largest
liberty. The Government we obey is one of our own

JosephE. Brown, Governor of Georgia,to the People of
said State:
The serious aspect of affairs, threatening, as they
do, an early invasion of our State, impelerme; your
Chief Magistrate, to address you - .once - more, and to
appeal to your patriotism and valor in.defence'of
your homes, your wives; and your children: What
ever may have been your opinions of coercive mea
sures, you have never failed to respond promptly
and nobly to every appeal made for volunteers. If
the enemy be successful in overrunning Mississippi
and Alabama, the State - of Georgla.can be taken in
flank, and we shall be open to serious and dangerous
attack. A powerful force of cavalry is being or
ganized in Tennessee and Kentucky, with the avow
ed object of penetrating our State, plundering and
burning our cities; and devastating our factories, our
workshops, and our fields. The first raid was well
nigh successful, when the gallant Forrest and his
brave followers stopped the destruction by the .
capture of, the vandal force. To- repel the enemy
in future, it is necessary that every man capable
of bearing arms should rally to. the defence of. the .
State, and devote his strength i and if need be . his
life, not only to prevent the invasion, but to , roll
back the tide of war from our borders. For this.
purpose I call upon old men and young men to rally
around the banner of our glorious old- State, which
has never yet trailed in the dust, and strike - for their
loved ones, their homes, their firesides, and their
altars. I address you with more than usual earnest
ness, as I am satisfied that never since the com
mencement of this struggle has the danger to-our
State been so imminent. Heretofore, the din-of
battle has been heard in the distance, and has been,
echoed among us only in the heavingliosoms of the
bereaved. Now, the thunders are rolling towards
our borders, and the storm_ threatens to !burst wit
fury, upon our heads. In solemn adjuration, there
fore, I pray you to prepare to meet and withstand
it. Burying past differences, and remembering only
our common danger, let us work. harmoniously in.
our heaven-protected cause, putting forward , in
places of command and responsibility.our ablest and-
best men, and grounding our trust in the justice of
our undertaking, and the mercy of - Him who 'wilt
protect the. right.
DISCREDIT OF REBEL -NEWS.
The Richmond geantiner , of-June 6th has a leader
on the news from Vicksburg and Port Hudson,
through the Southern Associated Press Agency,
and denounces the telegrams as an unintelligible
compound of gas, braggadocio, blunder, absurdity,
and impossibility. It says so much of the present
,tale as pretends to relate the losses of the enemy is-
evidently pure fable. If Grant left Grand Gulf
with sixty thousand effective men he had a • larger
army than he could march or feed. If our only
sources of information were these inventors of tele
grams we ohould feel -little encouragement at the
news from Vicksburg. The chance of taking Vicks
burg by a coup de Man!, which was, in fact, the only
chance of taking it at all, may now , be considered •
nearly, if not entirely, gone. Although we have
but a few hundred prisoners in our hands,
and-'certainly. lost a good many ourselves, in
Pemberton's defeats, yet it may . be - safely as•
en --- that ,-- -tha , .......ral...effect - of tke campaign is
now most decidedly.favorable - to-.the_ Confederates.
What truth there may be in the accounterromPort
_Hudson, whether in the Yankee correspondence or
hi the blatherskite telegrams of the press, is most
difficult to say. The -latter contain an important
statement which is -more likely - to-be foliaged in fact,
'because unexpected to the general public, , alfa - users_,_
fore beyond the, province.of -rumor, indicative of a ,
junction between some portions of the two Confede-
rate armies of the Mississippi—to wit, that of Ar
kansas and Missouri, and that around :Vicksbutg.
It was well known in political , and-military circles •
here, at the time when the War Department pub
lished its first order to General Johnston assigning
him to the command of the - Southwest, that he •
earnestly urged on the Government the policy of
uniting.those corps under. .one command.. His views.
were rejscted, and the Army of the West was kept
under Holmes until sit nearly-went to pieces, while
the other remained worse than idle in the various
parts of the State of Mississippi, ready for defeat
whenever the enemy,should attack it—scattered de- -
tachments, with no concentrat6Sl force.. We hope
that the story-of the crossing of the river by Kirby.
Smith is- correct, and that it is part of a new plan
for the campaign in the Southwest.
THE NORTHERN. PRAISE OF JACKSON..
It may seens harsh, at such a moment, to damage,
in, the eyes-of:the Yankees r the memory of our -
Confederate general, just when the public heart of
that nation is thrilled with the luxury of magnani—
mous sympathy, and the editorial tear hardly yet
dried ; - but we think-it a duty to informthem—they.
will scarce believe ps ; C they,had formed a smarter
opinion of human nature—that General Jackson did,
not accumulate a fortune in this-war. He did not
speculate in sugar and molasses; :in tobacco or ilour;.
he robbed no houses; :stole no, plate, nor jewels, nor
pictures, nor wines; sold no passports; extorted no.
black-mail—but enough;: no -more needs-to be said
in older to disgust our. Northern ayrapathizers with.
the man whom, in the unsuspecting nobility of their
nature, they were, for. -a- moment, inclined tolioner -
with their regrets. Let them sticksto Butler he is
alive, and is rich;. able to reward his friends-and' to.
hurt his enemies. A live Yankee, indeed, and bright
exemplar to his nation,.as highdhroned in the Hall
of Music, crowned with flowers the centre. and,
cynosure of ten thousand pairs.df , ardent eyes, he•
takes his. apotheosia.like-a god," and seems-to shake
the spheres;!" while, with-heartfelt worship, all men,
gaze in rapture upon-the type Yankeet, and women,
overcome by their emotions, would spread their hair
beneath his feet. Here is the sort of hero-for- that
people. -A living dog is betteuthan auead-lion.—.

The Gulf States never raised a sufficient supply for
their own population, and yearamay pass ere their
ability to do so will be developed;: hence, the great
necessity for resisting to the death the attempts
making to subjugate Kentucky and Tennessee. If
we lose them we lose our chief sources of supply.
There is but little danger, however, from the Yan

The Gulf States must be defended at those paints ;
were they to fall the contiguous Southern States
are very liable to invasion. As far as strategic
points are concerned, they are- well nigh indefen

of their armies independent of adventitious aids.
Riaidenee in Mississippi from. infancy qualifies me,
•in some measure, to form correct opiniOna on this
subject."
On the 19th of January the Federal% obtained
their first important success,. at Somerset, where
Crittenden was defeated and Zollicotterkilled. Soon
after Forts Henry and Donelson, which commanded
the Tennessee river, were reduced, and that noble
river was thrown open to unimpeded navigation to
Florence, Alabama. Columbus, New Madrid, Island
No. le, Bowling Green, one by one, came into Fede
ral possession, and last of all Corinth, fortined by
"the best engineer on the continent," and defended
by the total rebel army of the Southwest, was evan
custed by compulsion, and is now a stronghold of
the Union army, giving the command of two import
ant railroads, the Memphis and Charleston and the
Mobile and Ohio, the latter the longest road on the
Western Continent There are now no natural bar
riers to impede the _progress of our. troops to the
Gulf of Mexico. In their advance they have, al

THE SLAVE CHAIN-GANG.
At p resent, and indeed since the assault of the
fad, the
• rebels have maintained a uniform silence.
They an. %. evidently at work, like us, with pick and
shovel, , id mean to give us "tit for tat." They
have gang ; iof negroes chained together, to perform the
labor on tht..' defences, for they can neither spare the
soldiers nor permit the negroes to run at large.
This is a fee.
, for our camps are peopled with ne
gross who joir +ed us on the march from Jackson to
Vicksburg, wht
'JIM they came on passes issued by
'
the commandan. t, and who assert that their fellows

lines if thyvvoulo

'the guns, from whichour sharp
shooters-had driven the regular gunners, and it
evident that the neg. co is still an element of strength
to the rebel arm. I am repeatedly told that they
are taken in large n limbers along with the rebel
and that they perform all
armies on their marcht ' 6,

might be expected of a Pt 'ople whose entire existence

have most complete confidence in hita. •
One of the most formidable batteries , of the city,
the one that has done most injury to• our blockade
runners, is now seeing its last days: It - is the upper
battery of all, and almost level with high water.
Our boys are within sixty yards of it - , and digging.

I think we may be in Vickaburg by the middleof

Grant's headquarters, two miles off: He 's. said to
look well, but thoughtful. I- have not seewhim but
at a distance; do not care tc-;• he would care but lit

He hi said to he very affable to all. To me it seems
to be a kind of impudence, certainly impertinent, to
trouble him with your presence, unless the service
would be benellted thereby.
REBEL ACCOUNTS.
:lAcirsoix, May 22—The-news from- Vicksburg is
cheering, and affairs are wearing a more hopeful
and confident fase: The Federals have made seven
desperate assault's upon our works,. and' have - been
each time repulsed with immense slaughter: All
accounts represent that it has-no-equal in . the - war.
The Federal officers are said to• have represented to
their men that Richmond had been captured by
Hooker, and that the only remaining stronghold was
the city of Vic74sburg, before which they were
drawn up in battle array, and that by determination
and boldness they might take the place, anffat once
end the war. The troops did as they were command
ed ; their charges were not only stubborn; but des
perate; hence the immense hills of Yankee dead
that now cover the lace of the'earth, awaiting-sepul
ture, and poisoning the atmosphere by the horrid
stench of their thousands of carcasses. Ottrofficers
estimate the enemy'S loss from ten to twenty thou
sand in killed and wounded. A' Korth- Carolina
Federal deserter came in last night, and , tells the
story, and says that Grant's loss- be estimated in
camp at from ten to thirty thousand.
The wideness of the margin in the estimate will
give you a faint idea of the punishment that the
enemy has received, and of the immense strength of
Vicksburg, and the heroism of its defenders. Our
own loss is very small, hardly two: hundred. So
much for good entrenchments.
From the Yazoo 'I can learn.but very little, and
from that little I drama sigh of relief: The enemy
went up the river as' far as-Yazoo-City, and com
mitted a• good many peculation: Commo dore ßrown sunk four boats. in the rive which suffi
ciently obstructed it to , prevent the enemy going
any further up. The navy yard Ins ., burnt, Last
year we had some gunbisats in the riverrhut a party
started out on a reconnoissance-expedition, when
the Confederate officer became alarmed and burned
them up. Nothing but- misfortune , - ever attended
our naval affairs-in that'quarteri and - Pam glad they
are done with.
'Vicksburg was given up here for.neverel days, and
the news that came in was sickening and painful.
Our army, after its defeatarßakees-croek.'was very
much disheartened; but, beingauccessful in repulsing
the enemy in their assaults on.Welrebrag,:oonfidence
'is - restored, and a fine marale•plevails: The garrison'
of Vicksburg is- yet besieged from-the river and the
north, and Banks is-rep.ofted'lo. - Irave crossed his
army at Bayou Sara, and is marching en Natchez.
The enemy h a sheen terribly punisheeq.but not driven
away. '
Grant sent in a flag °firma yeetseday. I learn.
that its object refers to tte.treatmeat of the sick and
wounded., Major McKnight, Gen."Loring's A. A.
G., left this morning witk , an. 9 / 1 1211Ver:
GEN - . FRI%IEOE-TON'S SPEECH.
The Missifeippian publishes a epeoell ma - de by Gen.
Pemberton after -the repulses of , the enemy. It 13
as follows
" You have heard that It wns inzorspetent and a
traitor, and that it was my intention to sell Vicks
burg. Follow me, and youswiliseethe cost at which
I will sell Vicksburg. 'When the-last pound of beef,
bacon; and , flour;: the last grain of corn, the" last
cow and hog, and horse and (kw, shall have been
consumed, and the last-man obeli have perished
in the trenches, then, and only then, will I sell
Vicksburg."'
It is said that the tremendous repoise and slaughter
of; the Yankees at Vicksburg, on Sunday, was due
to a stratagem of General Pemberton, who made a
feint of evacuating part of his works, when the ene
my rushed in, only to be met wall immense slaughter
from artillery placed so as. to. take them with a
raking fire..
THE BkiPPAH:OF--A-HIVIAGEDDON.
---- - - •
Grant's possession of Snyder's Bluff gives him ~
large advantages -M his- proposed siege. It enables ,
him to shorten his- line of= communications with his.,
base of. supplies,and•avoids- the danger of running
the batteries On the river. front, or the expense and
delay of along transportation around Vicksburg on,
the Louisiana.shore. Meantime, the interest of the
situation deepens,andithseyes and energies of both- .
the belligerents will, in. nil probability, be turned.-
and concentrated upon-this-point. It is not unlikely.
that the great- battle of, the war—perhaps, the (led--
sive battle—will-be fought-within cannon hearing of
the Hill City. From the death-like quietude of
Rosecrans' lines, it is premised that Grant has been
reinforced From the-Tennessee army.
The Federals willmeagpgreat numbers for the work
