A communication TO The J7cts.p W'ssissppidn;
dated May % at Port Gibson, gives an account OF
an affair between tie Union fct and the Rebels III
that vicinity. On y I.day. the 3d. battery OF ar
tlery at Grand Gull o.enai ire on the mon Ieet
descending the river from Nickshurg. The fleet
passed on, but in lev hours The Hartford, Brook
iyn and three gunbOss aud two transports returned
to Grand Gulf. But we VIII let The Mss'ssPPaa
correspondent tell the rest Of the story;
a. As soon as they came within range, IRE was
opened by them upon the town with heavy shot ana
she'll without any notice OF their purpose, and with
out allowing an opportunity Tor the removal OF the
iuhabitauts. Fortunately for them. the people Of
the did not tlus to the observance Of the rules
Of civilized warfare by such enemy, but aban-
doned their dwellings at the first sight of the ap-
preaching feet and found refuge behind the protec-
tion Of q convenient bill Shot and shell passed en-
tirely through several of The most prominent private
residences and one shell after descending through
the large and elegant store OF the Messrs Buck KING
ham, exploded beDeath IT, aud blew large portion
of the building 10 atoms. No resistance could, Of
course, be made. The vessels cane on, and the
Brooklyn and two Others made fast to the wharf
boat Of Com. Martin, and thence landed parties IN
boats. the town bei.g nearly all covered from two
10 four feet deep with wafer. They remained IN
possession Of the town until after sunset when they
all withdrew TO their SHIPS aud these were hauled
off and anchored in the rver, ana every thing gave
promise Of quiet night. IL should be noticed
however, that party Of Tue enemy seized four OF
five negro men, aud carried them oil to one OF their
ships, movement the object Of which was after
ward made plain.
AT hight, Capt. Hoslius very judiciously retired
with his company two or three miles toward tue in
terror and a nulb Der OF citizens volunteered TO per-
form picket duty for him on the roads leading ont
from Grand Cult. Tbis proved 10 be very wise
precauton, for after dark Tariy OF ten or dozen
of our pickets discovered force of the enemy est
mated al from three four hundred, approaching
them about a mile and half IRON Grand Gulf
Their advance was suffered TO come within about
twenty yards, when they fired upon. They
halted and returned fire, bat advanced no further,
alarmed doubtless, by the rmDess Of the resistance
they met, and after some delay, they retired TO the
town. They carried back With them the corpte of
the officer who comma ded their advance, and who
was spoken of by them as beng tue and OF Gen. VIII
liams, who was Ia command of the troops on the
transports and a-o the bodies Of two of their men,
who we've said to be moitally wounded. Nobody
hurt on our side.
"During the absence of this detachment, another
body OF troops occupied tue town, and the whole
place was the scene o. iodiscrniIae pillage and de-
sruction The sold ers we're gwen free license, and
dwellings and stores were broken open and plum
dered. Everything thou-h t valuable or useful was
stolen, and what could lot oe carried on was wan
tonly torn up, broken, and destroyed Rarely has
town been more barbarously sacked, or a community
more completely ruined.
Yesterday morning the troops again taken
on shpboard, and IN a short time the whole ieet
etarted of down the ryer threatening vengeance
against every town from which shot might be tired
upon them. The troops on board the vessels were
estimated at from 100 to 5000.
The determination TO maintain their position at
Vicksburg is expressed VITA great energy. But
then they had not learned Of tue capture Of Men,
phis aud the probable attack on the city from the
north, in conjunction with tarfagut's operations.
