Latest from Vicksburg.

We learn from friend just from Vicks.
burg that the most formidable preparations
have been made for giving the enemy a
warm reception in case Of another attack.
The woods, which in measure last winter
served to conceal tho movements of the
Yankee gua.boats, have been entirely clear
ed away, so that no vessel can take shelter
within range of the city. Our batteries
command the grand Yankee aqueduct made
by the enemy last winter. Brcastworks
have been thrown up in the streets Of the
city. The. people are very sauguiue of their
ability to hold the city. No apprehension
is felt of an immediate attack, there being
no perceptible rise in the river.
Brigadier. Generals NJ. L. Smith and s.
D. Lee are in immediate command of the
Notifications. ..-
Our informant states that hogshead upon
hogshead Of sugar, awaiting transportation,
are piled upon the leVees, and much Of it
running to waste.
A very large fire was raging in the woods,
in the vicinity of Vioksburs, jus: prior to
the departure Of our informant.

The Great Battle.

The battle, whenever it may be fought,
between Gen. Lee and and Geu. Burnside,
if successful to the Confederate arms in
the opinion of some, will be the 6aal battle
of the war. This may or may not be- the
effect ofa Confederate victory. It certainly
will not have the effect Of ending the war
if resulting in Confederate defeat, or even
a drawn battlc,- or undecided battle, like
that of Sharpsburg. To produce peace, the
victory must be overwhelming, the ;rout
complete-an Austerlitz or Jena.
If such victory can be obtained, the
defence Of Washington will be gone, and
that city may be captured: Such q result
should be before the eyes of our soldiers,
and be the object of the contest.
We must have an Austerlitz before we
can have peace-no other victory is worth
auything-all our previous battles were but
schools, whersin our soldiers were taught
how to fight, They accomplished nothing.
The war continued Notwithstanding our
victories, because the effect of those victo.
ries, were more material than moral. We
must now have a great moral victory, de-
.monstrating, by its total rout, the folly of
further prosecuting the war.
Public sentiment in the United States
upon such victory would quickly range it.
self on the side Of. peace, aud the Aboli-
tionists, defeated and routed in the field,
would be driven to make peace.
The history Of wars throughout the world
attests that only great victories, with over
whelmng defeats, lead to peace.
The treaty Of Luuebille, had its Hoheu-
linden. The peace of Prcsburg its Auster'
litz. The peace Of Tilsit its Friedland,
Eylau and Jena. The treaty of Paris its
Waterloo.
If victory is overwhelming as any of
these can be obtained, peace will have been
conquered. Upon the next battle, there.
fore, depends whether the war shall end
or drag its slow length along in undecided
battles, on mere material ctories.-Rich.
