THE COMMANDMENT OF vICKsBURG
THE CITY TO BE DESTROYED.

CAIRO, July 5.-The ram Monarch brings
news from Vicksburg to the 2Sth of June.
On Thursday, Com. Porters fleet commenced
Smelling the upper battery. This was contin-
ued all day without any result, The Smelling
was renewed on Friday, and the afternoons
fire was directed on the town, over which
shells were seen plainly to burst. This con-
tinued until o'clock when the firing ceased.
During the bombardment the rebel batter
les replied feebly and their firing was mac
curate. Half an hour after the cessation of
the bombardment, the rebel water battery
opened on our mortar fleet, which replied UNI
til the battery ceased firing. At s O'clock in
the evening a fire was opened from the entire
fleet on the town, and it was continued for an
hour. The next morning at o'clock, the
bombardment was renewed during which
eight of Com. Farraguts vessels passed the
batteries without serious damage. The city
must have been damaged greatly as confia-
grations were seen in numerous parts OF 1t.
We are informed on indisputable authority
that 5000 negroes have been ordered by Gen.
Butler to work on the canal across the bend
on which Vicksburg or its remains are situat-
ed. The channel Of the Mississippi will be
changed, and Vicksburg will become an in
land town hereafter. Seven hundred more
shells have been ordered from New Orleans,
to reduce the remains of the place to ashes.

From Washington,

WASHINGTON, July 5.-In accordance with
programme made year ago, the Prince De
Jomvllle, Count De Paris, and Due DE Char
tres are about to leave for England TO attend
the worlds fair. Hence their recent senora-
ton from the army of the Potomac. where as
members Of the staff of Gen. Mcclellan thew
have participated in every battle before Rich.
mond up to and including Monday last.
Col. Frank 2. Blair Of St. Louis PROMISES
to proceed at once to Missouri to raise brig
ade under the presidents recent call for
troops. He thinks he can raise two brigades
the command of one Of which will be tender
ed to James S. jackson, member of the house
from Kentucky, whose nomination for brig
adier-generalship is now pending
The large number Of military invalids here
tofore brought here are convalescent. The
mortality is small. The desire is widespread
among the thousands of patients here to
speedily recover and rejoin their regiments
and they express the utmost confidence in
and strongest attachment to all the general
officers of the army Of the Potomac. They
are as patient in suffering as they were heroic
in battle.

ST. JOINS, n. S., July 6.-The steamship
Kangaroo with dates to the 10th ult., mas
passed this point. The London Times COM
ments on the fearful carnage in America ana
says never at any time could the map OF Eu-
rope show so many bloodstained spots w nat
ever NAV be the result, it is plain that the
war has now reached point at which 1t Is a
scandal to humanity. 1t has become war OF
determination, yet submission is as far OH as
ever.
The Times does not believe the cry lot more
bloodshed represents the minds OF the Amerl-
can people. Enough blood has been spit ana
enough damage done. The opportunity must
be present or at hand when some potent Amer"
lean voice prudently calling peace may
find an universal echo.

ST.. JOHNS, July 6.-The steamship Hiber-
Man, with dates to the 27th has also arrived
1t was asserted that Napoleon had resolved
to send sufficient re-Inforcements to Mexico
to force his way to the capitol against all OBJ
stacles Admiral Graviere goes out immedi-
ately to take command Of strong concentra-
ton of French vessels in American waters.
The Patrie says the concentration is justified
by what may arise out of the American war
and the affairs in Mexico.
The London Herald finds it impossible to
account for the inactivity of Mcclellan. Pos
sibly, it says, after the battle Of Fair Oaks and
the breaking up of BeauregBrd's army in the
west he does not see his way clearly and may
feel himself ounumbered by the enemy in a
position whichis impregnable and from which
the enemy may fall upon his lines and work
at pleasure. If so, he is likely to meet with a
disaster which may change the whole aspect
of the war, for a reverse to Mcclellan in
wolves the ruin of his army and of the hopes
of the federal government

river mines appear to be oyercrowded. Thou
sands of Adventures are scattering over a
hitherto uneXplored country searching for
new mining grounds and meeting with many
dlscouragements. Much suffering is antci-
pated. Emigration northward is considerably
reduced by unfavorable and conflicting ac-
counts. The very considerable arrivals of
gold at Victoria and Portland, however, fur
nish positive testimony of the existence OF
some gold diggings.
