cAxr ProSEzR coRrs, Nay soth, 1853.
vicxssuRo-Our fellow.citizen J. @. WaIGHf.
has brother connected with the besieging
army OF Gen. Grant, and OF course, favorably
situated for observation. The effect Of that
observation, we are permitted to lay before
our readers 10 the following letter. dated "Camp
Pioneer Corps" May 3oth.
DEAR BRorHER:-We have again. changed
our camp. We landed at Warrington, six
miles below Vicksburg, on the 9th aud march
ed up the Mississippi side to the rear OF the
place. On the morning Of the 28th we march
cd to the front Of our lines and commenced op-
GRAFTON by throwing up an absttis and plant
ing two pieces efsrullery within one hundred
rods Of the rebel works. we had no, worked ten
minutes before the rebs discovered US and be-
gan throwing shells at Us; their shsrpsbooters
also annoyed us very much, but we succeeded
10 plsnting the battery and then had the pleas
ure Of seeing the rebs get good sbeling
Yesterday and to-day We were at work outside
Of, but in range OF our pickets, and tomorrow
We expect to plant another battery within fifty
rods Of the rebel works. It is pretty danger
our work but we ere good at dodging and ars
getting accustomed to their balls whizsng past
US. The rebel sharpshooters sometimes Grail up
to within 100 yards ofus.
Our Division is on the extreme leh OF our
lines and directly below the city, with our left
resting on the river, or within range Of the gun.
boats. They have now been fighting Is days
and the gunboats keep it up all night. We ad.
vauced our lines about l a mile to-day bring
ing US within musket range Of their forti6ca.
tions.
We can see the rebels at all times and are OF
ten close enough together to talk very distinctly
Some OF them talk very independently, and
seem to think that we can never take the place
Their Notifications are very formidable looking
and will be hard to storm. 1 should not be
surprised il they would bold out Is or 20 days
yet A great many Of their men are desertipe
a0d coming over to us, they (he deserters) soy
that they have 30 days rations 10 vi:ksburg,
and think they can hold out that long. They
are expecting old Joe. Johnston to attack us
10 the rear, he is said to be at jackson now,
but bis force cannot. be large. We caught
men last night who were trying to get into
Vicksburg, they bad 100000 gun caps and two
dispatches from joe Johnston to Pemberton.
Its so warm here during the day that i can
not write. Two Of our boys we're severely
wounded but none killed.
There is continual roar here from morning
till night have couuted as high as 30 large
guns per minute, besides small cannon and mus.
kerry, which sounds like perpetual thunder.
! am so sleepy that will have to 90 to sleep
under range Of at least 100 cannon and siege
guns. but put my trust in that God who is
able to protect me from oil danger.

We have heard Of signs Of It here and have
also heard Of them in other sections Of the

at the bottom Of the German character to
admit Of their being carried bodily into

the dissatisfaction, It will no doubt cause

a vigorous Ere with artillery and musketry

MCCLELLAN TO an important military position.
This demonstration is merely political aud is en-
gineered by the most malignant of the enemies
OF the government To give effect to their ef
forts they have resorted to the most barefaced
frauds and misrepresentation. They even
went so far as to use the name OF Gen. CANE.
RON as favorius bis immediate appoiutment to
active position. and the General has felt called
upon to brand the falsehsod. Even the Com.
mon Council Of the City Of New York has call

active duty. All this is party machinery which
in no degree looks towards the public welfare.
