About VicksbHrg.

CAIRO, Friday, June 5, 1868.
The dispatch boat Gen. Lyon, from
Vicksburg, Monday night, has arrived.
Firing was kept up all of Monday. Gen.
Shcrman's troops on the right wing
could be seen in motion. When the
I.yon left at midnight, confagration was
going on in the city. Some supposed our
shells had set the buildings on FIRE, while
others conjectured that the Rebels were
destroying their supplies preparatory to
surreudering.
Gen. Grants numbers and position
must be absolutely impregnable 10 few
DAYS. Particulars cannot be given, but
they are of the most cheering character
The steamers Chancellor and Atlantic,
loaded with troops, when near Island No
81, on Wednesday, were fred Oh by guer-
rillas from the Mississippi shore. One
captain and two privates were killed, and
several wounded.
CHICAGO, Friday, June 5, 1863.-A
special dispatch from the rear of Vlcks-
burg, dated May 31st, says:
The bombardment of Vicksbuag con-
tinues.
All the guns, in position, opened fire
at midnight, and continued their fire
until daylight.
The rapidity of the firing was enparal,
leled
1t is believed great damage was inflct
ed by the fire.
Twelve Rebels were captured at day
light yesterday, sndeavoring to run our
pickets and get into the city. Two hun
dred percussion caps were found in their
possession.
One of the Rebels, boy, came out of
the city ten days ago, took the oath Of
allegiance, and was allowed to go home
FIVE miles back. He will probably be
condemned as spy.
Gen. Joe Johnston is reported to be
moving toward Jackson, but not in force
sufficient to attack US.

Port Hudson.

The Morning Star from New Orleans
brings the following:
In the Department of the Gulf the
whole interest in military affairs centered
in Port Hudson, which was completely
invested by the Government forces. Gen
Banks commanded in person force sup
posed to be sufficient for its reduction
The enemy's strength within their de-
fences is estimated at from 10000 to
12,000-meu.
Fighting was still in progress at the
date of the departure of the Morning Star.
Brig Gen Sherman had arrived at
New Orleans on the night of the 2Sth,
severely but not dangerously wounded.
The I'd Louisiana negro regiment dis,
tinguished itself especially in charging
upon the enemy's siege-guns, losing in
killed over 800
Gen. Weitzel had captured portion
of the line of defense, and held one of
the enemv's heaviest batteries.
The North Star brings Sl50,000 (Mex
ican) on freight from New Orleans, and
400 bales of cotton.
New ORLEANS. May 29.-Tbe fight
at Port Hudson is fairly started.
Rebel rumors are numerous on the
street. All that is known trustworthy
is that the fight is severe one. Brig,
Gen. Sherman is badly wounded in the
leg, above the knee, and has been brough:
to the city 1t is hoped his leg may be
saved. Col. Paine and Brig. Gen. Rick
erson are reported killed-rumor says our
loss in killed and wounded is nearly 5000.
One of the negro regiments raised here
under Col Stafford, is said til be badly
cut up. They fought gallantly.
| can get no trustworthy Information.
But no one doubts the result we shall
know this afternoon or to- morrow Banks
went to take Fort Hudson and | believe
he will do it. The Rebel force is said to
be near 10000.

We have news by way of Nashville
that on Thursday l,2OO Rebel cavalry
attacked our garrison at Franklin and
drove the men into their intreuchments
Our boys rallied quickly and repulsed the

made upon our forces at Triune, and here,
too, Secesh got whipped, losing 200 men,
400 horses, and some camp and garrison

COUNTERFEIT oNTHEBANK OFNORTH
UMBERLAND.-Within few days past a
number of counterfeit FIVE dollar notes on
the Bank of Northumberland we're put
into circulation in this place They were
dated February -, 1856, and signed by
j. r Priestly, Cashier, and John Tag
CART, President. 1t is we'll to observe
that Mr.. Taggart signed no notes since
December, 1854, and retired from Office
in 1855. These notes are circulated to
deceive inexperienced persons. The pa
per is rather light, and the shading over
the vignette, under the words Bank Of
Northumberland" is too heavy. The pa
per in the spurious notes is white, not the
colored paper now used These counter
feits were detected in Philadelphia, but
by some mistake were ascribed to the
Northumberland County Bank.

WORKING REBEL FARMS. s.-The War
Department has issued an order requiring
all the abandoned Rebel farms in Heintz-
elmans Department to be under cutiva-
tion by the contrabands. This use of the
blacks may not be in accordance with the
"philan nthropical' views of the Impracti-
cables who look at him as a sentimental
rather than a practical institution; but
"plain people," who do not think that
white men were necessarily made for
drudgery and black men for ''elegant leis-
ure," Will commend it as practical and
timely. There is DO reason why the
farms across the Potomac should remain
untitled, especially as there are hundreds
of stalwart contrabands eating the bread
of idleness about Washington.
