may look ont for the hardest winter seen for,
many years There will be more cold dayss-
the mercury will run lower, and the snow will
be deeper than before since A. This is the
lirst fall, since the winter of 81 that the
brook Tout have commenced leaving the
small creeks for deep holes as early as Sep
tember, and the 6rst season since then that
the muskrats have double-wsled their little
hllock homes. These and certain other little
fallible signs known to the sportsman aud
hunter, indicate winter Of unusual severity.
1t is our opinion that the river will close at
least two weeks earlier than last year

only in the capture Of vicksburg, but Of
the entire rebel army. His plan is now
being carried out. 1t is to have all the
gunboats run the rebel batteries, one at Q

els. Bebel soldiers must then be drawn
from vicksburg to man them. until the

CAIRO. March 4.
Several boats are due here from Mem.
phis but only the Tycoon has arrived.
the Belle Memphis. Era, and several 9TH
ers, having been chartered by the Gov
ernment for the purpose of moving troops.
The Tycoon brings Memphis papers
of the afternoon of March2. Some boats
had lately arrived At Memphis from Lake
Providence, with some particulars of the
capture Of the Indianols. She was lying
thirty.6ve miles below Vicksburg Tues
day last. when the rams Qnesu and Webb
approached and an active engagement
occurred. The rams had the advantage
on their side. The Indianola moving
slowly. compassed with them. They
butted her in broadsids and stern. The
Indianola continued to change guns from
side to side, but her assailants as quickly
gained the opposite side of her, and butted
again and again. The coal barges on
each side of the Indisnola quickly sunk.
At last Captain Brown appeared an
nouncing that his ship was sinking. and
surrendered. The boat was ordered ashore
and she was landed, and all the crew ta-
ken but one man who jumped on land
and made his way to the Federal lines
and made known the catastrophe.
The action lasted thirteen minutes.
Since the loss Of the Indianola, the Con-
federate boat Frolic. in charge of Major
Hays. asked permission to approach
Vicksburg with prisoners for exchange.
He stated that the Indianola was sunk,
but many seem to doubt his statements,
thinking it only ruse. and that the In
dianola and Queen may yet be used against
US. -rr..|..-..
When the last boat up from Young's
Point left, the Queen of the West was
lying under the guns of the Confederate
battery at Wsrrenton, below Vicksburg.
The Steamers Westward and Sunshine
had arrived with dredges, to be used on
the canal. The river was rising, but all
was quiet on its banks.
A aatboat sent down the canal was
fred upon by the batteries, and although
she arrived at the end she sunk from shot
holes. sa..
A canal barge. with propeller. had got
into Lake Providence. from the Missis-
sippi. 1t was pushed over land on slides
to be used in exploring the lake and
neighboring bayous aud assisting in the
progress of the work on the canal at
Lake Providence.
1t is believed that the crew of the In
disnola had snnk her before capture.
