SURRENDER OF v1oksBuRG.

From the subjoined brief despatch Of Acting
Admiral Porter the reader will learn that the town
of Vicksburg long closely besieged by the Union
forces and long successfully defended by its gar
rison, has at last surrendered. This event was not
unexpected but its magnitude is none the less
clear to all, the importance of the position being
sufficiently attested by the vigorous and uninter-
hitting efforts put forth for its capture and by the
stubborn and heroic resistance which has delayed
this contamination for so many months We are
as yet unapprized of all the circumstances under
which the surrender made, or Of the material
results which, besides the important position Sc
cured are involved in the transaction. The pc
litical and military relations Of that position con-
sdered with special reference to the opening of the
Mississippi river, too familiar and apparent to
operations so long directed to the capture of this
place, Gen Grant, it is presumed, will speedily
combine with Gen. Banks to effect the reduction
Of Port Hudson, and thus complete tie work of
opening the Mississippi to the navigation and pos
session of the National Government from itssource
to its mouth
UNITED STATES MISSISSIPPI SQUADRON

To Hon. GIDEON WELLEs, Secretary of the Navy.
Sir: have the honor to inform you that Vicksburg
surrendered to the United States this Fourth Of

THE DEFEAT OF GEN. LEE.

!, We need not direct the attention of our readers
TO the continuation of the narrative we to-day give
respecting the recent terrible battles in the State
Of Pennsylvania. The military operations in this
State have for the last few days held the whole
country in brcathless suspense because Of the mag
nitude Of the issues depending on the uncertain
arbitrament of the bloody wager to which they
were submitted in the eyes Of the nation. It was
generally felt that the complexion of the future
would be largely determined by the result of the
battles that must ensue from the daring invasion
of Gen. Lee and the recognised skill of that officer
conspired, with other considerations which need
not enumerate to create the liveiest soicitude in
the breasts of ALL
The war-cloud that lowered SO portentously over
the land has now spent its fury, and after strug
gle Of unprecedented ferocity, the army of Gen.
Lee, with diminished ranks and shattered columns,
is endeavoring to effect its retreat into Virginia.
The valor Of the brave Army of the Potomac, SO
often proved before on many an ensanguined field,
has been again most signally illustrated, and
equally on it and on the new leader, who was
called under circumstances of such intermingled
opportunity and difficulty to give the first evi
dences Of his skill ard energy as the commander of
great army.
The saddest thing in war is great defeat, and
the next saddest thing is great victory, for the
voice of weeping, lamentation, and woe over those
lost to country and friends mingles alike with the
shouts of the victors and the cries Of the vanqush
ed. Nor is it possible in war like this-6ellun,
plssquams cirile-to forget, in the sight Of every
stricken battle field, that victor and vanquishcd,
with all who fall or suffer in the ranks of one or
the other, brethren made rather to respect and
love one another than to delight in the unnatural
strife which has placed in their hands the weapons
of mutual destruction. Let us hope that the
bloody drama whose swelling scenes are now pass
ing before the eyes of the nation may approach
its denouement

A PROPOSED CONFEDERATE MISSION.

enabled ourselves to communicate to our readers .
correct and authoritative statement Of the af
