YAZoo RIVER.


Lieut-Col. Elicit, of the ram feet, made
reconnaissance up Yazoo river yesterday
week, going up sixty miles, when be dis
covered some batteries on the shore on bis
right. At these batteries heavy raft OBJ
structed the passage of the river, while in
front Of the raft lay three gunboatS and
transport-the old Mears. The gunboats
were the Van Dorm, Polk, and the orher
ones name unknown. On the approach of
Elletts feet of rams, these boats were fred,
and the carpenter of the Van Dorm stated
they had been prepared for burning with
tar and turpentine. The boats being fred,
were TUNED adrift, to act as FIRE ships against
the rams. They did no injury. =, -rrg
Beyond the raft some so miles the car
penter alluded to, and others report twenty
of the finest steamb boats of the South, and
Shirley's guuboat the Arkansas, to protect
which the raft had been constructed and
the battery planted.
The Arkansas is manned and her guns
mounted. Her crew consists of % marines
and some conscripts. --t. Ell ~
An expedition, consisting of two or more
of Farraguts gunboats, the ram feet and
transports, with sufficient infantry to move
the raft, take the battery and capture the
Arkansas and the steamboats, above, was to
start day before yesterday, and has proba-.
bly, done so ere this.

very great topping houses, falling CHM

the imagination a picture beyond all pen
painting.
Captain Curry was informed by refugees
from the CONSUMPTION along the shore, that
the women aud children had been removed
some distance from Vicksburg, and were on
the line of the Jackson railroad, dwelling
in holes dug in the billy rise there, in a
most abject state of distress. Not only in
the immediate region about Vicksburg, but
through all Mississippi, hunger and starva-
ton are rite; and the captain asserts that
many runaways whom he saw looked like
skeletons, covered with pallid skin, within
which their bones seemed to rattle. So in
Arkansas, along the White river. The Cap
tain was informed that Hindman ordered
no trading with Yankees, on pain Of DEATH
save for ammunition and salt.
We are also informed, on indisputable
authority, that Eve thousand negroes have
ben ordered by General Butler to work on
cutting canal across the bend on which
the remains of Vicksburg are now situated
The bed of the Mississippi being thus turn
ed, Vieksburg becomes an inland town for
ever more. - zra1f r
Seven hundred incendiary shells have
been sent for to New Orleans, with which
to reduce the remains of Vicksburg to
ashes, and the canal is fast progressing to
completion.
Capt. Curry tells US that all along the
shore the fall of Richmond is confidently
asserted by the people, and but for the cut
ting of the telegraph wires the particulars
would undoubtedly have reached Memphis
ere this.

Our community #as intensely agitated
tuesday morning By the intelligence that the
steamer Planter, for the LAST twelve months OF
more employed both in State and Confederate
service, had been taken possession of by her
coiored crew, steamed up and boldly run ont
10 the blockader6. The news ut first was not
credited; and it WAS not until BY the aid Of
glasses she was discovered lying between two
Federal frigates, that all doubt on tho subject
was dispelled. A great variety Of rumors and
surmises we're circulated in reference to the
parties concerned and the number Of the fugi-
tlyes on board the steamer. The most an
thentlc particulars that We could gathcr aro az
follows:
Between three and four o'clock Tuesday
morning the steamer left southern wharf.

namely adasA three engineers, one PILOT and .

board her own armament, which consisted of
one 3-pouDder aud one A-pounder, making
eix guns in all taken ont to the fleet,
The Planter was new high pressure steam
er, belonging TO Capt John Ferguson. She
was regarded as one Of the fastest boats in
the harbor, and very valuable for river service,
but unfit for sea work Tnrcc Of the negroes
who left also belonged to Capt Ferguson, one
to MIs. Michel and one to Mrs. IL Kee
There are rumors Of others having gone,
who were missing from the city yesterday,
but cur information on this point VIC suppose
We must await the next arrival of Northern
news from Port Roya.
The Planter WEB observed a1onsaide Of the
hcct yesterday afternoon. and from appear
ances it was supposed that one Of the Federal
gunbosts was engaged in removing the arma
from her deck. Such arc the material facts, SO
lar as We have been able to gather them, In rs,
