THE MILITARY SITUATION.

The situation Of affairs in the various
military departments continues to befull
Of interest Everything thus far seems,
on the whole, to be going on well, but at
the same time the issue Of pending events
cannot be awaited without anxiety.
Vicksburg holds out longer than was ex-
pected, but all our reports thus far are
favorable to final success. The rebels have
not made that effort to raise the siege
which was anticipated, and their golden
opportunity for an attack on Gen. Grants
rear is passed. They have doubtless been
mastering their forces, but for once we
have been in q situation to receive rein
forcements as fast as the enemy, and, what
is more, disposition has been shown to
use our faculties. The St. Louis papers
make frequent mention of steamers depart
ing with troops for below, and we have
now the gratifying assurance that Gen,
Burnside's ninth army corps has been
sent to Vicksburg; 50 that Gen. Grant
must DO abundantly prepared, as far as
numbers are concerned, to meet any at
tack. The assaults on the enemy's works
have been discontinued and regular siege
approaches commenced, and if the reports
Of the lack Of ammunition and supplies
by the garrison are correct, capitulatiou
must be effected. AS far as we can judge
now, and unless some new development Of
rebel plans and strength is made, the fall
of vicksburg Is sure and only o question
Of time. ~. 81.
AT Port Hudson, which now divides tn,
interest felt in the western department
with vicksburg, the result is not quite
50 clear, but we hope for the best. VIZ

ATTACK ON PORT hudson.

Maj. Gen. Banks army attacked Port
Hudson May 9th. The fight was terrif-
ic, but successful to the Union arms
Weitaels' and Emery's divisions attacked
the right, Growers and Augur's the GEN.
tire, and Sherman's the left. Our right
and centre drove the enemy and held ev-
cry inch Of the ground they gained, while
Sherman on the left carried the enemy s
works, but was compelled to fall back to
the outside of the works. We copy from
the New York Herald an account Of Welt
zel's part in this battle. because the Yer
monters are in this DIVISION Walton' S

The plan appears to have been to car
ry the enemy's positions on the right and
left first, and this work consequently de-
volved upon the division of Weitzel and
Sherman. 1t was not long after the ad-
vance was sounded that our troops met
those of the enemy, and it soon became
evident that every foot of ground we
gained was to be fought for with deter
mination. The fight soon commenced
along the entire line. On the right the
sharp rattle of musketry and roar of ar
tillery gave notice that Weitzel was at
work, and as it increased in its intensity

boys play; and he had not Every inch

FROM THE POTOMAC,

Friday night two brigades of federal
troops crossed the Rappahannock one mile
below Fredericksburgh, and made an ex-
tended reconnaissance, and though they
did not occupy Fredericksburg as was at
first reported, it is asserted that the reb-
ell plan was certainly found out; and if
known of course something can be done to
meet the emergency. The rebels always
make the most buster when they are
going to skedaddle and they are evident
ly about to be off. We trust Gen. Hook
er is up to the occasion. If he lets the
enemy leave without any fight OF any pur-
suit, his reputation will not stand so high
as it does now or did before the Chancel-
louisville battle.-SprinqJfeH Republican.

NEW YORK, June 9.
The Times Headquarters army Of the
Potomac dispatch, dated sth, 6, P. NJ,
says, the situation here remains unchang-
ed. The position taken by Howe's divis-
ion on the south bank Of the Rappahan-
mock on Friday evening is still peacefully
held. ~
Our skirmishers hold the line Of Deep
Run and the Bowling Green road while
the enemy are in plain sight, about one
quarter of mile further on. No large
bodies of their troops are in sight. About
one mile directly in front of our position
is battery in sight, but this is all we
can see.

with his command to reinforce the rebels.
He has not been heard of in that section,
and the rebels now have no steamers on the
river to effect such crossing as they
mention. But aside from this the situa-
ton is full Of danger. Gen. Banks was
right in saying he had no time to take
the place in any other way than by as
sault. From the number of troops that
are known to be with him in the attack,
he must have left New Orleans and the
other conquered portions of Louisiana
with very slight garrison and exposed to
recapture by very small bodies of the en-
envy. He cannot leave them thus exposed
long without the risk of loosing what he
has already acquired, and if he is to
take the place at all it must be by quick
movement. And beside there is danger
that Johnston, despairing of a sufficient
force to successfully attack Grant, might
march quickly to Port Hudson and defeat
the smaller army of Gen. Banks, who is
