THE FEDERALS AT THE CAPITAL OF
MISSISSIPPI.
(From the Richmond Whig, May IR.)

Affairs have become very critical in the south-
west. Grant's army has taken possession of the
capital of Missiuippi, the city of Jackson.
This, besides being of itself a painful and dis-
astrous event, places the enemy in the
rear of Vicksburg, and cute off supplies from
that place. A battle, or an evacuation and retreat,
must immediately ensue. Grant, by coming so far
inland, loses all support from the navy, and exposes
his communication to interception. The move is
a bold one, and must be made to cost him
dearly, or it will cost us dearly. Affairs
look ugly for the present ; but luckily
for the country a general in whom all have
confidence (Joe Johnston) has reached the
theatre of interest, and if the force which he can
bring into action is what we have been led to sup-
pose, it will be equally aingular and deplorable if
a few days, perhaps hours, do not give an entirely
different aspect to affairs. We await intelligence
with anxiety, relieved by strong hope.
