Ia a paragh yesterday relative to new rig
for clearing The Yszo0 Of rebel distinctions We
were made 20 say ghe Yankess intended cutting
the levee for tho distsnce of q milo below the
Yagoo pass. 1t should have read for q mile
abore instead Of below.
The Yankees across the river were still on the
move yesterday The remaining tents on the
lsvee about Whites we're taken sway, aud The
water Yunning through shs canal turned into
their old camping grounds One transport

ssversl arrivals Of steamers on Monday Eight,

tardsy, under hsg Of truce. Chaplaina, above
| sll others connected with the Yankee army, are
deserving Of q hard fate. They have done
more than any other calling to raise the present
strife and make tie peoFle Of The North ard
South antag0uistie. Il they Do not meet the
fate they deserve here, thsEe is consolation in
knowing that when his Satanic Majesty lays his
clutches upon them he viii deal it out with o
lavish hand. Certainly the Redeemer Of the
World must act hsTshly with these prototypes
OF the Father Of Lies
Nothing was heard yesterday from the Yazoo
or the fight which occurred on Sunday, near
New Carthage. The enemy's sudden change OF
base at Fort Psmberton and ACROSS the river.
viii, no doubt, prevent ON getting any more
interesting news from these points. All eyes
viii be turned ia another direction, and though
the siege Of Vicksburg viii not be raised, still
we may be permitted 20 breathe free again for a
short time. Grant has no ides Of abandoning
om city, but it seems demands for troops ia
Tennessee and Kentucky are SO great
that he is compelled to send the major portion
Of his army TO those Ststes, which will, If It is
correct that the troops have gone North and that
seems settled, prevent the remaining force from
Masking an attack until his return. Such is the
opinion we havo formed with the present light
before us. A few daye, however, viii, We think
disclose the object Of the ensmy's sudden moYe,
and enable us to form pretty correct idea of
the position we viii occupy about here for the
coming two or three mouths.
The Yankees are reported TO be landing a
force at GreenvilIe, in Washington county, but
We do not suppose it is anything more than a
cottonstoaling expedition, 70 cooperate slong
the river. They would have to cross Rattle
snake bayou, Clear creek, and Williams bayou,
before reaching Daar creek, which would render
their situation a very precar0us one If attacked
by our forces. Their experience IN that quarter
is not Of such g character as Ia warrant them in
going far into the interior. Possibly they may

are IN quest of % King Cotton"
Com. Fsuagut is trying 70 run our batteries
at Port Hudson. His boais we're anchored in
the strssm yesterday few miles above the
town, waiting no doubt a dark night when he
win endeavor 70 ges past and 90 below. The
fact of bis having left here indicates no early
attsck ia TO be made from above Were such
thing expected he would undoubtedly have
remained 70 lend a hslping hand.
