About one million and a half of blanks arc
printed at the Government Printing Bureau, for
the Adjutant Generals Office, during month,
and about an equal number for tho Ordnance
and Quartermastor's Bureaus. . ....
In addition, there is very much printing for
the once OF Internal Revenue and other branches
Of the public service. Forty power presses are
constantly in operation. The largest congres-
sional document now in the hands Of the CON-
positors is the testimony of the Committee on
the Conduct Of the War. 1t covers eight thou
sand foolScap pages Of manuscript.
To save many parties trouble, 1t may be stated
that the Superintendent of Public Printing has
nothing to do with sending public documents
to persons constantly applying for them by
letter or otherwise. As the documents are
printed they are sent to the Capitol or to the
Departments, according TO their character.

POLAND.
FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI.

CINCINNATI, April 9.-Ths advices from
Vicksburg are, on the whole, cheerful. The
health Of the army is greatly improved. new
canal has been commenced, leading into Wal
nut Bayou, which comes near the river, on the
Louisiana side, at Milliken's Bend, and runs
into the river at New Carthage, fifteen miles
from Warrenton. The canal commences a mile
above point opposite the mouth Of the Yazoo.
The bayou is two miles distant. Its success is
doubtful. Reports say that the ram Lancaster,
sunk by the rebels, was rotten hulk. The
Switzerland has been repaired, and, together
with Farraguts gunboats, has gone down the
river.
A formidable battery is about completed be-
hind the extreme point of the levee opposite
VicksbuTg. II has been wholly constructed by
night, and will mount the heaviest Parrot
guns, and have range Of the entire city.
All reports of attacks on Haines' Bluff are
pure fabrlcations. Capt. Osband had Just re-
turned from the vicinity Of Greenville, with
three thousand bales Of cotton, ono thousand
head Of cattle, and one hundred mules.
A gentleman who accompanied Admiral Por-
ter up steel's bayou reports having seen im-
mense quantities Of grain and cotton in the
interior. The rebels burned twenty thou
sand dollars worth, and the Union forces ten
thousand dollars worth. A prisoner says the
rebels destroyed grain enough TO supply an
army Of ono hundred thousand men for six
months.

The u. 8. steamer PATRON, with 100 desert
ers from New York for Washington, went
ashore on the beach at Lewes, Delaware, on
Saturday morning, the 4th inst, during the

of Lieut.. Ward, and no sooner had the vessel
struck than the prisoners essayed promiscuous
"chango Of base" and would, doubtless, have
regained their liberty but for the assistance Of
Henry c. Maull, Esq, provost marshal Of
Suxsex county, and some twenty citizens of
Lewes. AS IL was, but one man escaped

City, and proceeded to Washington, where they
arrived on Thursday night, and the prisoners
delivered TO the Provost Marshal. The guard
OF soldiers and citizens (Which last accompa-
niod them hero) arc worn down with incessant
watching, as many Of the prisoners are Of the
most desperate character, some of them hav-
ing volunteered ten or twelve times, and
receiving a bounty each time. Much praise
is due the Provost Marshal and citizens
Of LeweS for the efficient services they rendered
in provisioning and guarding the prisoners.
