The Yankee Failure at Vicksburg.

A gentleman recently from Vicksburg
informs US that Gen. Van Dorm estimates
the number of shot and shell thrown by
the enemy during the bombardment at
100000! Yet with this stupendous ex.
penditure OF ammunition nothing was &C.
complished save considerable damage to
buildings in the city. many of which are
perforated by the iron missiles, and very
slight destruction of human life. The
Yankees, it now appears, did not with.
draw their whole force from opposite
Vicksburg on the late retirement. They
left about six hundred and fifty men
strongly entrenohed in bomb proof ditch
es, and under orders not to move until
the Arohangel sounds the last great
reveille for all the nations of the earth
Some are victims Of fever. and some Of
the Arkansas; but, in plain words they
al died.

Breckenridge at Baton Rouge.

A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune,
writing from Grenada, under date Of Au.
gust 18th, says:

is but right that the fact should be record
ed that the Kentuckians won the most
glory in the Baton Rouge battle. They
distinguished themselves for gallantry as
they had done at Shiloh under the same
loved leader. Breckenridge. too. acted
with tue intrepidity Of a Marlborough. At
one critical period when the fall of Gen
eral Clarke was apparently about TO throw
the army into panic lie rode quickly
forward. and eloquently exclaimed.

moment n whole phalanx Of bayone,s
was rushing like an avalanche upon the

Speaking Of the loss sustained by each,
the same correspondent writes as follows:

brigadier, and three colonies wounded

The following, is said to be the version
of Lincoln's speech in regard to arming
the negroes: 49,. 81
He had made up his mind not to arm
the negroes at present, and the irtima-
ton was given that he should probably
never do it. He gave his reasons without
any attempt at concealment. He felt it
to be his duty to keep Kentucky in the
Union. When Kentucky should with
draw the Union was lost, he &id. When
she withdrew, $4,000 bayonets, now on

THE BATTLE AT p1TrsBuRG LANDING.

DIR. Brock of Springfield, one of the sur.
geons who went from this state to Pitlsburg
Landing, after the great battle, has returned.
lie gives the Springfield Republican a very
intelligent and interesting account of what he
saw and heard on the battle field, most of
which we copy as folIows:-
"Pittsburg Landing is on the west bank OF
the Tennessee river, at point where the
stream is about half mile vide. After as
cendng the banks, or bluffs, about hundred
feet high, a table land begins, broken at inter
walls by rivules. The surface is covered with
oak timber, with scrub-oak undergrowt tn.
Within our lines, there are but a few cleared
spots, and these containing but a few acres

We do not feel at liberty to state the pres.
ent lines OF our army, further than to say that
the center is ut least seven miles from the
river. Between here and the river Gen. Hal.
leck has now an immense and competent
army, and as this army occupies the ground
ON which the battle was fought, there are to
be seen on every hand the evidence of all
awful conflict The trees on every side are
marked by shot and shell, and many large
oaks, measuring foot and hall in diameter
are cut quite of, giving the forest the appear
anee Of having been visited by tornado.
The surface now, or when DR.. Brock left was
A continuous bed of mortar, about two feet
deep, in a light clay soil. The whole surface
is covered with mounds and graves, where
the dead are buried to a vastly greater mum.

fabulous accounts given by the burial parties
could not be credited without a view Of this
immense charnel house. Bodies are still
brought in, every day, Of those who have
lain uncovered since the battle-bodies of
those who had crawled away wounded to die
ia secluded places There are a thousand
dead horses still unburied
During the Smelling OF our gunboats, sun

In the meantime some rude collins were
made from boards taken from neighboring

OF Broad Run Creek to receive the bodies OF
the murdered soldiers. Early in the Stiffness
