During the progress of the tradgic

insensible alike ito the rights of magma

noble art of offencive and defensive war,
waged on small scale, appeared on the
scene of strife, and arbitrarily tore some

boarding houses and dragged them as
captives and criminals, to the bastile on

within its gloomy walls.
Yesterday they were led to the bar OF
justice-a bar, by the way, very different
from that at which they have been wont
to assemble,-and there in despite of the

gunboat De Kalb to a gentleman in this
city. The officer is also resident of
this place.
The letter is dated Mouth Yazoo,
May oath" and states that the De Kalb
started up the Yazoo river. on the 10Th
The rebels must have received intima-
lions of coming trouble, for when the
boat arrived at Snyder's Bluff, it was
evacuated, having been abandoned the
day before. The large guns, large
amount of ammunition, small arms
tents, &c, were taken possession of by
the crew of the De Kalb, who also cap
tured number of prisoners.
The river was obstructed by large
raft, chains, ropes, coal barges, and an
old steamboat But these impediments
were soon removed and the gunboats
reached Yazoo City on the evening of the
Dist The city was surrendered without
firing a shot No rebel soldiers were
there, nor were any discovered on the
way up the river. Two rams had been
set on fire when the De Kalb arrived,
and third on the ways-a monster,
three hundred feet in length-was burned
by the crew of the De Kalb, and shared
the fate of its companions. The navy
yard, which cost the rebel Government
an immense sum, was entirely destroyed,
together with large lot of Government
stores
Articles for food and wear ranged at
fabulous figures in Yazoo City. Flour
zzzas aelal Al ssllSS0 -hAl; calico S. per
$50 per gallon; coffee 81 per pound;
butter 81 per pound; eggs 81 per dozen;
and chickens 81 each All articles were
scarce at these prices.
The letter mentions one circumstance
which looks strange to US. 1t SAYS;
q" On our return down the river the rebels
gave us fight at Haines' Bluff, which
lasted about an hour, and as we had no
soldiers with US, we had to leave them
above for the present. but tomorrow We
will give them h-ll. We had no trouble
in running the blockade, only one man on
our vessel being killed
If the rebels re-occupied Haines
Bluff after its capture by our forces, it
shows that they mediate mischief on
Gen. Grants communications, and gives
his situation decidedly bilious appear
ance We trust, however, the DeKalk
went up the next day and gave the rebels
all that our young friend promised.
